Breaking Free From the Familiar
Frequently, within the comfort of our familiar environment, achieving clarity can be a challenge. However, when the usual routines and constants in our lives are temporarily set aside, it becomes possible to view life from a broader perspective and engage more deeply in our personal healing journey. Furthermore, being away from our homes grants us respite from the constant worries of daily responsibilities, affording us a broader capacity to concentrate on self-care. This past week, I joined a dear client and colleague in Mount Shasta for an incredible transformational journey within.
Take That Leap
A year ago I was given a new book idea. And, I didn’t want to write it. I knew it was a story that needed to be told yet, instead, I asked God, can’t I write something else? Perhaps something lighter, more cheery? I intuitively heard back, “You have already written that. It’s time for this.”
My reaction? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t the most enthusiastic. Yes, my response to the Divine, the Almighty Spirit, presenting me with the conception of a book was, well, rather dismissive.
Embracing the Current: Going with the Flow, Letting Go, and Letting God
When your plans go sideways, getting upset or frustrated is easy. With almost every planet in retro right now (an astrology thing) not much is moving forward until mid-September. The energy is shifting very quickly. In the past, I referred to our daily energy shifts as the ‘energy cocktail of the day.’ Now, the planetary energy is shifting, not every hour, but by the MINUTE! In all its beauty and complexity, life often presents us with unexpected twists and turns. Navigating these twists can be both exhilarating and daunting.
Curb Cravings of Intense Energies
The energies have been intense this past month! Whew! At times it felt like I was moving through sludge! If you are even the slightest bit energy sensitive, you also feel it. Here’s how that could be playing out in your everyday life. You may be: ✨Struggling to sleep ✨Craving extra sugar or carbs ✨Feeling ungrounded ✨Feeling unbalanced ✨Feeling stuck ✨Feeling displaced – like you have 1 foot in the world and another in the clouds.
And, to help with some of the symptoms above, I am gifting you with this light language meditation to Optimize Your Health and Quit Sugar NOW.
What makes you successful?
I was recently asked that question while flying to my niece’s wedding. The gentleman sitting next to me on the plane travels often and said he asks everyone he sits next to that question.
Before I answered him, I thought, “I wonder why he thinks I’m successful?” 🤔
And then, I answered the first word that popped into my head, perseverance—the ability to keep going when you get knocked down. I often feel like I’m failing, and I continue to keep going anyway. Most days, I feel like one of the wobbling weebles that gets blown over and pops back up!
Interestingly enough, he was surprised at my answer…
Grounding Your Body with Nourishing Foods
Just as the Earth provides grounding energy, the foods we consume can play a significant role in grounding our bodies and fostering a sense of stability and connection. By incorporating specific foods into our diet, we can enhance our physical and energetic grounding, supporting a harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us. Root vegetables are nature’s grounding foods, growing beneath the surface, drawing energy from the Earth. Add vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and parsnips to your meals. These nutrient-rich foods are dense, grounding, provide energy, and are physically stable. Roast or steam them to preserve their earthy flavors and enjoy them as a side dish or in hearty stews and soups.
Grounding Your Body: Cultivating Balance and Presence
In our fast-paced and increasingly disconnected world, finding ways to ground ourselves is essential for maintaining balance, stability, and a sense of inner peace. Grounding allows us to anchor our energy and presence in the present moment, fostering a deeper connection with our bodies, the Earth, and our spiritual essence. Below are my best practices for grounding your body, empowering you to navigate life with clarity, stability, and a strong foundation. Nature provides a powerful source of grounding energy. Spend time outdoors, whether it’s in a park, forest, or by the sea.
Nurturing Your Soul: Rediscovering Connection When Feeling Disassociated
In the journey of life, there are times when we may find ourselves feeling disassociated from our body, life, and even our relationships with friends. It is a state of disconnection that can leave us feeling lost, empty, and disconnected from our spiritual essence. However, within this challenge lies an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By embracing a spiritual perspective and exploring practices that foster reconnection, we can navigate this disassociated phase with grace and emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Here, we will delve into strategies and insights from a spiritual perspective to help you realign and find harmony within yourself and your world.
What to do When You are Feeling Down
We are living in unparalleled times. If we continue focusing on the scary negative, we will surely see even more of that. Lately, I noticed I was feeling more down. An endless stream of sadness everywhere I turned. Cancer in young ones, honking angry people, and frustration that ‘things’ don’t look how I want them to look. I know the drill. When I’m feeling extra down, it’s time to regroup. Remember SSS! STOP, SURRENDER to the moment, and SWITCH the story. STOP. Stop and go inward. I take a few deep breaths calming my nervous system, and STOP whatever mind tunnel I’m allowing myself to go down. SURRENDER. Surrender to the NOW moment.
Create Space in Your Life
I’ve mentioned before for a while now I’ve been praying that I follow the highest divine design of my life. You may have been with me online or in our monthly group, Elevate, when we’ve done this together. There is no question that things shift when we sincerely ask for this. People and circumstances most often leave your life, sometimes even abruptly. Things may not always look or feel great when you are going through this shift of letting go. Although you’re surprised when it does happen, in the long run, you look back and can generally see the WHY. I continually remind myself, though, that nothing is ever wasted!
What is a House Clearing and Why is it Important?
Our homes reflect who we are as they hold the energy of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. They are meant to be a sanctuary where we recharge, unwind, and feel safe. Unfortunately, all too often, I see homes wreaking havoc on lives. Here are some signs that your house might need house clearing or blessing:
•buying, selling, or building a new home or business
•divorce OR remarriage
•declining health
•feeling like someone is watching you OR just an uncomfortable feeling
