Energetically Shifting Deep Habits

Posted on by

This Energy exercise works by bringing various meridians into balance. Relaxing the defensive mechanisms, supporting the metabolism functions and activating the radiant circuits all work together to help you feel safe and supported in making changes. It is generally suggested that you do it four or more times per day to shift deep habits.

  1. Cover your eyes with your fingers. Inhale. Exhale.
  2. Inhale with your eyes still covered. Exhale while dragging your fingers across your eyes and out to your temples.
  3. Inhale while dragging your fingers up over your ears. Exhale while dragging  your fingers down behind your ears to your shoulders. Hang your fingers on your shoulders at the neck.
  4. Inhale as you cross your arms, placing your fingers on the opposite shoulders. Exhale, smoothing your hands down your arms to the forearms.
  5. Inhaling, place your hands flat across the ribs under your bust area.
  6. Exhale while sweeping your fingers down your legs and off your feet at the toes.
  7. Inhale while sweeping your fingers back up your legs to under your arms.
  8. Exhale while sweeping your fingers down and off your body at the sides of your waist.

Sourcing Power From Within

The truth is that your life is primarily being generated by who you’re being, much more than by what you’re doing. Yet our focus is continually on trying to source power by managing and controlling the externals of our lives – our to do lists, our circumstances, our schedules, our finances, our bodies and so on.

We think: If only my circumstances were different, then I’d be able to have and create what I really want in life. How often have you said to yourself, “If only I had more money, more time, a better education, a better job, more support, more love etc. then I’d be able to live the life that I was born to live”?

Yet, the obstacles to the full flourishing of your life are not outside of yourself!

The barriers to the realization of your dreams, and deepest desires are internal, not external. And, more importantly, the source of power you need to fulfill them lies within you, and is just waiting to be awakened.

Feminine Power Practice:

  • Make a list of all the reasons you are telling yourself as to why you can’t live your best life, realize your highest creative potentials and make your greatest contributions to the world (i.e., I’m too busy, I don’t have the money, I’m too old, etc.).
  • Notice how many of them are external reasons. Just for today, let go of any and all reasons outside of yourself as to why you are not realizing your highest potentials and making your greatest contributions.
  • Close your eyes and take a deep breath, allowing your awareness to drop into your body. Move into a place of listening and receptivity, becoming aware of your deeper knowing and connecting to the part of yourself that holds wisdom and has access to power. With a sense of authentic interest and curiosity, ask yourself: “How am I the source of my current experience of life?,” “What choices am I making that are contributing to my current experience of life?” (eg. I say yes to things I don’t want to say yes to because I want others to like me, I choose to not focus on money because I don’t really care that much about it, I no longer put myself out there because I don’t want to risk rejection, etc.)
  • What’s one new choice that you could make today that will give you access to creating a different experience right away?

In the Excitment of Spring

Posted on by

For many of us it’s SPRING!!!! A time of new found energy to birth new ideas and  projects. Problem is – in all of our excitement we commonly overdo it and end up with sore and achy muscles.

So in honor of all that spring awakens in us, here’s a soak to unwind and relax your entire body. You may want to use it for a couple of days if you were particularly enthusiastic:

  • 4 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 2 drops Juniper essential oil
  • 2 drops Rosemary essential oil
  • 2 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 1 cup Epsom Salt

Add the essential oils to the Epsom salts before adding to your bath (oil and water doesn’t mix). Then sprinkle the salts into a full bath of hot water and stir with your hand to disperse. Soak for 20-30 minutes. Enjoy!

It is important to use medicinal grade essential oils. Perfumes don’t work, they are toxic and just aren’t good for you. Mountain Rose is a good source if you don’t have one already.

And while you’re soaking, why not provide your face with a gentle exfoliating mask.

  • 1 TBSP lemon juice
  • 3 tsp yogurt
  • 1 TBSP aloe vera juice or honey

Combine and apply to clean, dry face avoiding eye area.

Ahhhhhhh …………

Dancing with Pain

greenPainYou’re healing along fine from an injury, and all of a sudden the progress stops. You aren’t getting better, nothing is helping and the pain and limitations are still there. You’re doing all the “right” things; physical therapy helped, massage helped, other things have helped, until now.

You’ve been stopped dead in your tracks. Do you have to live with it the rest of your life? Maybe it’s just that you’re getting older and this is just what happens. Do you have to settle for increased aches and pains as the days and years pass by?

I had a client that had been in a collision and was taken to the hospital, unconscious. She was tended to and sent home, with a prescription for physical therapy. She followed the protocol and received benefit from it, but now she was stuck. She wasn’t getting any better – the pain, limitations and poor bone healing was causing a lot of stress in her life. She didn’t know what the problem was, she didn’t know what to do and she didn’t know where to get help.

How frustrating is that?!?!

Detoxification

Someone asked me about detoxing and this is the article I was trying to locate. So I thought I would just share it with all of you.

His focus is clearly on the physical body but/and we also hold toxins in our energy field. Energy work helps to keep your systems flowing freely which is mandatory for them to efficiently support our physical structures. But more on that later. Now … on to the article….

Most of us cannot escape to a safe haven, free from toxins and pollutants. The air that we breathe is polluted, the water that we drink is full of chlorine, the clothing we wear is made of artificial fabrics and chemicals, the lotions and shampoos that we use all contain chemicals. Once these chemicals are inside us, we can never fully eliminate them unless we undergo a detoxification process. As a result, most of us need some form of detoxification. It is one of the best ways to remain healthy in a polluted and toxic environment.

Signs that Detoxification is Needed

  • If you have unexplained headaches or back pain
  • If you have joint pain or arthritis
  • If your memory is failing
  • If you are depressed or lack energy
  • If you have brittle nails and hair
  • If you have abnormal body odor, coated tongue or bad breath
  • If you have an unexplained weight gain
  • If you have psoriasis
  • If you have frequent allergies
  • If you have a history of heavy alcohol use
  • If you have a history of natural and synthetic steroid hormone use.
  • If you have an exposure to cleaning solvents, pesticides, diuretics and certain drugs

The Power of Positive Relationships

As I become more of who I really am,
I will share the overflow of that love of myself with you.

And I ask you, as you become more of you who you are, free of my expectations of how I think you should be, that you will share the overflow of your love of self with me.

As we do for ourselves what we cannot do for each other, may we both vow to always share the joy and love of who we really are with each other.

The Greatest Gift

“The greatest gift you could ever dream is a gift that you can only receive from one person. And that person is you yourself. Therefore, the most subversive invitation you could ever accept is the invitation to awaken to who you are and where you have landed … When your soul awakens, you begin to truly inherit your life. You leave the kingdom of fake surfaces, repetitive talk and weary roles and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are and who you are called to become…

Wind Beneath My Wings

So as I was driving down the gorge this morning I was thinking about a conversation I recently had about leaving the nest, spreading our wings and flying.  And this could be any situation that you have found comfortable (home, job, relationship, mindset, preconceived ideas …) but you also know or sense it is about time to move on – to spread your wings and fly out into the bigger world.

Right as I finished that thought, something caught my eye off to the left. As I looked over I saw a bald eagle flying alongside me. Whoa – beautiful – inspiring – stunning against the snow dusted gorge. Yeah, time to spread wings and fly. What about you? Time to broaden your perspective, your vision, your life?
