September Solstice – a Time to Focus on Wellness and Healing for Ourselves and Our Planet

The September Solstice is a time to promote wellness and healing throughout the planet.  Please take a moment to dwell on a planet where all beings experience wellness and coexist in honor and support.

Visualize a world where all beings experience positive renewal and growth as wellness and healing become real.  Get to know all the wonderful opportunities in your world for growth and hope throughout our planet.

As the planet goes into its next phase, support your spirit and encourage healing and wellness to all plants and animals on earth.  Make a place for yourself during this time to encourage spiritual growth.

Think of ways you can invite universal balance in your life.  Think of how you fit into your day, into your world, into your goals.

Check in with yourself to give support to your spirit.  Focus on a world where everyone  works together  with respect and harmony in support of all needs.

Create  a vision of peace and wellness for yourself.  Attract spiritual calm.

Expand your peace and wellness and spiritual calm to include every living thing in the world.

Spiritually, your back is your support for life.

Spiritually, your back gives you strength.  It honors you.  Your spine contains your central system and your central blood supply.  You register every experience, feeling, impression, and thought in your spine.

Your lower back holds financial support and your core beliefs.

Your middle back supports your move forward in life as you release the past.  Your middle back holds love.

Your upper back deals with your emotional support of others and self.  It deals with guilt, shame, fear, anger, resentment.

Back aches are spiritual events.  What may offer relief for one person may not work for another.  In spite of all the modern, 21st century techniques, cures, and therapies available for back injuries and health injuries, you may respond positively to reflexology, Reiki therapy, and Chakra healing.

Lifestyle changes will help if you discover physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual causes of your discomfort.  When that happens, you can make adjustments to get rid of the pain.  Then, you can figure out what you need to do to keep the pain and discomfort from returning.

These changes may include things like developing a posture encouraging spinal alignment.  You may learn specific exercises offering you relief.

Several times throughout your day, talk to your back.  Is it in pain?  Does stretching help?  Are your shoulders scrunched up against your neck?

As time passes, you’ll find you are learning the language of your spine.  Once you learn this, you can listen to what your spine says to you and follow its instructions.

To avoid back pain, respect your spine and don’t overwork it.  The three basic rules of respect include proper lifting techniques, exercises to build strong back muscles, and proper fitting low heeled shoes.  Following these three guidelines, you’ll prevent accidents and reduce spinal alignment stress.

When you consult with a physician about your back pain, select a person who gives you confidence.  If you seek a massage therapist, acupuncturist, physical therapist, schedule your appointments so they’re 24 to 48 hours of one another to take advantage of synchronicity.

Yoga helps.  I’m fortunate that there are many yoga teachers in my area.  Through the years, I’ve found two teachers who know about spinal health and focus their classes on this specialty.  Carolyn Abedor teaches Iyengar Yoga when she focuses on therapeutic spine health.  Kathy Karey teaches yoga and focuses on repairing injured spines.

Massage and physical therapy are beneficial for chronic pain.  Chiropractors work to improve your condition without adding more strain to the spine.

If you don’t know a yoga teacher, massage therapist, chiropractor or physical therapist, this is a good time to look for one.

CHAKRAS:

Lower back pain focuses on the first chakra.  Middle back issues focus on second and third chakras.  Your upper back deals with fourth and fifth chakras.

REFLEXOLOGY SYSTEMS TO WORK:

nervous system, muscular system, urinary system, skeletal system, sciatic nerve, liver and solar plexus

ESSENTIAL OILS:

basil, clove, cypress,  eucalyptus, fennel, ginger, lavender, marjoram, nutmeg, peppermint, ravinsara, Roman chamomile, rosemary, spearmint, thyme, vetiver

OTHER THINGS YOU MAY TRY:

Throughout your day, check your posture, your seating positions, and the height and angle of your work surfaces.

8 Ways to Get a Good Night’s Sleep

I estimate that one third of your client partners have problems sleeping.  Many of them have just given up on getting a good night’s sleep.  This is not a good thing because there are many things that a person can do to sleep well…every night, not just once in awhile.

A person who gets enough sleep looks and acts healthier because there is more energy available to do the things to get through the day successfully.  So, here are some suggestions that have proven to be successful.  Try them.  Share them.

  1.   Receive a reflexology session every week.  People who get reflexology regularly  tell me they sleep better.  This is important for practitioners, too.  I receive a session weekly.  It’s one of the most important things I do in life.
  2.   Reiki sessions are wonderful for sleep.  Do you teach Reiki?  Attune your clients to be reiki practitioners so they can give themselves sessions every night when they go to bed.  Sleep is sure to follow.  A well intentioned Reiki therapy session is better than a sleeping pill.
  3.   Have a regular sleep schedule so that you go to bed every night at the same time.  Schedule your evenings so that you plan on sleeping 7-8 hours every night.
  4. An hour before going to bed, turn off loud music, scary TV shows, and consciously wind down.
  5. Do you have a lot of things to do tomorrow?  Before you go to bed, make out a list of all the things you have to do tomorrow.  Then, put that list in another room and forget about it until tomorrow.
  6. Make your bedroom a sanctuary for sleep.  This means moving all the clutter and junk to another part of the house.  That includes the TV and anything else that is a sleep distraction.
  7. Take a look at your bedding.  When was the last time you bought pillows, sheets, blankets?  Does your mattress sag in the middle?  Are you sleeping in worn out sweat pants with holes?  It’s time to focus on sleep-inducing comfort.
  8. Get a pen and journal notebook.  Early in the evening, every evening, spend a few moments writing about one thing that you feel thankful for.

Thanks for reading this blog post.  I will be offering more sleep tips throughout the coming year.

The book “A Healer’s Handbook is available as an ebook on Amazon an d Nook.  The paper version is available on my website:  thurmangreco.com.  So far, the response to the book is very positive.

Thanks again.
