Take a Break From the World. Seriously.
Sometimes things happen at such a fast pace that life becomes confusing and overwhelming. Being alone with yourself for a short time may be the only way to find answers.
Take a break to figure things out. Step away so you can discover a better, clearer perspective. When you step back, you have a chance to figure things out. You may even get to know yourself better.
Instead of being part of everything, when you step away you can discover a better, clearer perspective. How? How can you do this when everything is moving at such a fast pace?
Go on a mini-sabbatical. Take the day off from it all.
No internet, TV, phone, email, social media.
Spend your sabbatical silently as you go on a short internal journey resting, reading, and meditating.
A good question to ask yourself is: What do I need in my life right now?
Being alone, you can look inward and discover truths about yourself. When you unplug from everything, you may find a spiritual guide of some kind.
Going within uninterrupted, you may find a path to pursue your own way. You may even light up your true self.
After your one-day sabbatical, notice how much calmer you are and how clear your thinking is.
Ask yourself this: How can I fit stillness into my daily life?
Can you find a few minutes each day for silence to discover yourself?
Or, you may think of your sabbatical as therapy and set aside an hour or two a week to discover your true self. Over time, these weekly sessions may reveal mysteries for you to experience.
But, whether you choose a one-day event or weekly therapy sabbaticals, enlightenment is possible. These moments alone clear the path for a new you to emerge.
(This may be a good time for a self-Reiki session, if you’ve been trained. Reiki sessions don’t all have to be an hour. Ten or fifteen minutes can be strong healing moments.)

Your Crown Chakra
When you connect with your spiritual center – your Divinity – you activate your crown chakra. Likewise, when you feel a connection to the Divine, your crown chakra is open.
That’s what it’s all about.
I believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. As such, I feel we spend time and energy throughout our lives longing for a return to the Divine.
This is where we remember who we are.
The crown chakra is linked to your endocrine system, an important thing to know
because a balanced endocrine system supports your chakra system.
When you are connected with your crown chakra, you should experience an ease
and flow in your daily life.
Are you trying to deepen your connection to the divine through your crown chakra?
A good thing to do is to construct an altar.
Begin with a vessel of clear water to represent mercy and healing energy.
You may want to select a goddess to teach you. When I first began my search,
Kwan Yin introduced herself to me. Kwan Yin has served me well. I love her
story. I love her energy.
You may want to select herbs for your altar. You may already have an
attachment to some specific herbs. If not, try to find some herbs that will support
your capacity to grow, align you to the energies you seek.
When you feel motivated, add 1 or 2 crown chakra gemstones. Again, you may
already be using amethyst or selenite or some other gemstone. It’s nice to
already have items for your altar which you know and understand. I found
Herkimer diamonds before I really understood their connection to any chakra.
As time passes, you’ll find essential oils, crystals, and yoga postures to help you
connect with your crown chakra. They wait for you along your path.
Crown chakra meditations are important. I’ll post one on my next blog post.
Meditation calms the chatter and allows your mind to stay focused.
For me, regular Reiki therapy, reflexology, or other healing sessions can be part
of your spiritual practice. Different people are drawn to different healing
techniques. The choice is large. On your journey you may include yoga,
massage, dietary changes.
You may select a modality and then, after time, change to another one. Time and
journey indicate different modalities.
Each chakra offers a different focus on our spiritual journey. All of them work
together to enhance health, happiness, and harmony.
More information about chakras in general and your crown chakra in particular is available in “A Healer’s Handbook”. You can order a copy of this book at www.thurmangreco.com.

September Brings a New Season.
September is a time to honor your health – your wellbeing.
Have fun with this! Celebrate the season!
LOCAL FARMERS’ MARKETS offer a bounty of fresh and local fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products.
September’s markets bring my favorite foods.
Tomatoes, potatoes, squash, apples, melons, figs, and beets are in season this time of year adding color to your plate and your soul.
Stick with these new fresh produce options throughout your Autumn and into Winter. Two fruits which I make a point to buy and eat in September include pears and pumpkins. I love both these foods and they taste best during September.
Find a farmers’ market and plan your meals around the seasonal produce you discover. A bonus on this food is that you’ll boost your antioxidents when you eat fresh seasonal produce.
Cook up a soup or stew.
I think of my breakfast as a September food. Every morning I have a serving of muesli topped with yogurt and blueberries or other seasonal fruit.
Visit your LOCAL HEALTH FOOD STORE for what you can’t find at the farmers’ market.
While you’re there, stock up on immune-boosting supplements. Go for a multi-vitamin, calcium, D3, a protein, and probiotics.
Commit to staying hydrated with lots of water.
It’s sweater time! Is your wardrobe ready for that extra layer you’re going to need? Consider LOCAL THRIFT SHOPS AND YARD SALES. Make eco-friendly options a priority.
Is someone in your house returning to school? Check the backpacks and lunch boxes. Are they in good condition?
SLEEP BETTER in this cooler weather. When September rolls around, I enjoy renewing tranquility with soothing colors in my bedroom.
I look around the room and remove any and all electronic gadgets that have somehow sneaked in during the year.
September is the time of the year when I ban TVs, computers, phones, and anything else with an electromagnetic field which can produce irritating attitudes and challenge my sleep.
My goal is to refresh my bedroom so that it’s a retreat where I escape from the noise of everyday life. This sanctuary reminds me that meditation, rest, and contemplation are important for a renewed state of mind.
Nourish your mind and rejuvenate yourself for the coming winter months.
Go a step further and schedule a regular reflexology or reiki session. Better yet, get one of each!
ENRICH YOUR LIFE a bit. September is a good time to learn to play a musical instrument, visit a museum, investigate your family history, take a walk, or just daydream.

Your Spiritual Journey
I really like this beach scene. When you look closely, you’ll see foot prints in the sand.
I recently attuned a young man to first degree Reiki. He’s at the beginning of his spiritual path. I confess that I was impressed with him. After all, to have just “opened the door” on his journey with a Reiki attunement can be special.
The young traveler/Reiki student, newly arrived on his path, seemed hesitant and almost fearful of where he was going. He was trying to find his next steps.
To be young, and newly realizing you are on a spiritual path can raise issues of trust.
As I reflect on this young student, I wonder: What would I have done if I had been introduced to Reiki when I was 18?
Youth is an important detail. Sometimes that’s how a spiritual journey goes.
At other times, people discover Reiki after they’ve traveled on their path for awhile. I also see questions in a new, middle aged Reiki practitioner.
For me, finding Reiki was a middle age event. In my 50’s, my questions had to do with how I could experience more Reiki.
If you’re not careful, Reiki will surprise you in the middle of your spiritual journey. This can be especially true if you don’t have enough room for your own journey’s details.
If you are middle aged, you may not want to clutter up either your trip or the path with too many details. After all, you’re the only one on your spiritual path. No one else will join you.
Maybe you’ve been on your path so long you feel like that’s just how you “roll”.
Through the years I’ve attuned people to Reiki 2 who received a Reiki 1 attunement many years before. These travelers had questions also. Was trust the issue then? Or was it fear of failure?
I never asked. Now, having met Mark, I know there is more to hesitancy than readiness.
A teacher is a vital link between a student experiencing a challenge and the professional practitioner.
That’s where we return to the journey.
Wherever you are, take what you can use and leave the rest for a traveler coming up behind you, the one you may never meet.
Select what you need. Pack what you can use.
Look around you. Is there any space left? Maybe you have room for a few more things to use further down the road.
Remember, it’s okay to carry a few extra things – just in case.
The first thing to pack in your spiritual journey bag is positive feelings.
Can you use joy? What about gratitude or kindness? Patience and laughter may come in handy. Finally, courage and self-love will fit in somewhere.
What are some things you might be cultivating?
As you focus on your inner life, how important are rest and sleep?
.What are some activities which will help?
Positive feelings are the foundation for how you engage with these elements. Being calm and focused is basic.
Then, you can work on your vision, values, and your goals.
You’ll need them when you develop healthy relationships.
Throughout your journey, look for meaning, purpose, and a sense of accomplishment.
Wherever you are, the single most important skill (for me, anyway) is intention.
An important piece of your spiritual journey is the opportunity to learn about yourself. What fun! This is where you get to make discoveries and seek laughter.
This is also where you get to like yourself!
As you discover yourself, you get to choose the type of person you’ll be. This is where you drop things that are no longer important. You can choose what’s important, and what you stand for.
You can examine how far you’ve traveled.
And, discover the true meaning of gratitude. This is where you see your achievements for what they are and how important your journey is to mankind.
As you clean your spiritual closet, your pilgrimage smoothes out the bumps and gets easier.
You’ll learn how unimportant comparison really is.
Find ways to be gentle with yourself.
See all these things you’re learning as if they are lovely flowers blooming along the path on your spiritual journey.
And, finally, go at YOUR pace and in the direction that’s right for YOU.
WOW!

Spirit is a Change Agent: 5 Ways to See. 6 Questions. 3 Lists.
Sometimes, when spirit reaches out, we rejoice.
Spirit speaks, whether or not we are interested. The message may be loud or soft, depending on your self-care situation.
Lately, I’ve been hearing from people, each of whom is in dialogue with spirit. One thing, spirit brings change. I think about change this way:
When I choose change, the words in my life are different:
I can love myself more.
I release resentment so forgiveness can become part of my life.
I move from the old to the new.
I express love in more ways.
Today’s article focuses on one prompt instead of the usual list of 5-7 self-care suggestions I’ve been offering. I’m interrupting the series with this one focus because it needs attention.
Do you feel resentment when a client, a relative, a neighbor, a manager, a stranger asks something of you?
Do you want to spend more time with someone but cannot?
The tendency is to swallow your feelings and press on. Whatever the message, spirit speaks truth. However spirit reaches you, the message is an opportunity. Eventually, when spirit bubbles your feelings up, you cannot pretend you don’t feel the tug. Spirit is a change agent.
How does spirit speak to you? Do you feel anger, depression, fear? Do you feel love, calm, excitement? Do you smell roses?
Do thoughts enter your head? “I really don’t want to do this job, see this person again, drive this commute, feel this stress, stay in this apartment, live in this town, put up with this pandemic stress even one minute more.”
Do you see answers in clouds, on pages of books you find open?
Eventually, spirit convinces you to honor your situation and yourself. It’s time to honor change.
A good next step is a list. After all, “if it’s not on the list, it doesn’t exist.” Right?
For starters, I propose two lists. A heart list comes first. This is an ongoing document you create while traveling on your life path.
I first found the Heart list in a book, “Fireflies” by Coleen Murtagh Paratore – a successful and spiritual writer:
Take a piece of paper and draw a large heart on it. What words make you happy? What words make you smile? Put those words in the heart you just drew.
Set this heart list aside for the moment while you create your Change list.
On a second piece of paper, list things to change in your life. You are creating your Change list.
Now, ask yourself:
How can I turn the Change list entries into action?
What should I do to improve my situation?
What can I give away, move, rearrange?
Change is a gift. Is it time to allow gratitude into my life?
Can I get comfortable with change? Do I even want to get comfortable with change?
How long do I want to live with negativity in my life: Ten minutes? Ten days? Ten weeks? Ten Months? Ten years?
Put your two lists away. But, don’t hide your heart list. Place it where you can see it whenever you want. Add add words to your heart list often.
When tomorrow comes, look at your Change list. Your positive future may lie in this list. Seek ways to create what will work for you.
Find ways to graciously and generously reduce contact with stressful people, places, and situations.
Are there people and aspects in your life you want to draw closer? Do you want to spend more time with others? What places do you want to know better? Are there positive activities you want to include in your life?
What are the best ways to remove unwanted habits? Changes shift outcomes. Situations move and create a rejuvenating ripple effect in your life.
The third list, my Ben Franklin Change List, is important now. I’ve used this list for years when taking action becomes confusing. .
Sometimes I’m trying to decide what to do. My options have narrowed down to two or three and I’m still trying to decide. I haul out another piece of paper and draw two or three lines on it. I list everything that can happen if I move down path A, and then I list everything that can happen if I move down path B.
I include “the best thing that can happen if I…” in each option of my Ben Franklin list. I also include “the worst thing that can happen if I…”
After I’ve written down everything and anything, I examine the opportunities these lists created. One list will be longer than the other.
Listing all the options and then seeing them for what they are on the page clears my head and my heart. This information usually points me in a direction.
And, finally, if I’m at a yes/no point and have not reached a decision, I dowse for an answer. My trusty pendulum always helps.
If you don’t dowse, there are still things you can do:
Several years ago, I was in a real quandary. I felt I was going in circles. Confusion reigned.
Someone invited me to visit New York City for a weekend. On that visit, I wound up walking through Washington Square Park late on Sunday afternoon.
I’ve been there many times – there were always people enjoying themselves in this park. People sat around visiting with one another. People walked their dogs. Watching everyone was always fun.
On this afternoon, the place was deserted. Seated all by himself on a bench, sat a smallish, older man wearing an unusual hat.
I was drawn to him. How could I not be? The dogs, the college students, and the tourists were gone. Even the pianist playing songs for tips on his grand piano was gone. There was only the quaint little man and me. As I got closer, I saw a tarot deck next to him on the bench.
You know how this story ends.
I walked over to him and we chatted. He read my cards. His words coaxed my own intuition to pull what I needed from his message. His voice, his posture, his cards, were perfect for me at that moment.
– – – – – – – – – – –
My book, “Healer’s Handbook,” dealing with the spirituality of health, discusses change in several entries.
People get angry when they aren’t comfortable with change. Sometimes this anger surfaces as health issues or disease. Arthritis, boils, burns, carpel tunnel syndrome, cold sores, depression, diarrhea, kidney infections, laryngitis, menstrual problems, obesity, pink eye, sprains, and warts are just a few.
Sometimes, when contacted by spirit,, we see our souls hanging out in front of us. Messages we didn’t ask for show up at a time when we don’t want change in our lives.
When that happens to you, acknowledge the situation and move on. Maybe you’ll be up for change soon.
Take whatever steps you can when you are ready.
Consider this: You may be more ready than you think. After all, spirit is connecting with you and you are listening.
I’m reminded of the old children’s game: “Ready or not, here I come!”
Change is the journey we travel.
Change is opportunity in the face.
Change is a naturally occurring life event.
Change surrounds us all.
Change can create joy. Joy allows you to love yourself and everyone else.
Doing what you can, connect with however many things in your life bring joy.
Change can sometimes be ungrounding. That’s where reflexology comes in. Schedule a session. Grounding is something to appreciate during stressful times.
Reflexology sessions bring the change of homeostasis. With homeostasis, you can take responsibility for your health and find the person you are meant to be.
When working for change, I focus on the immune system and nervous system together for the first part of the reflexology session. This can be transformative.

7 Self-Care Tips to Boost your Diet
This post gives you a week’s worth of life-changing tools to help you boost your diet. Try them if they attract you in some way. If something feels good to you, then it probably is good for you.
The timing has to be right. Maybe you’ve tried one or two (or even all) of them in the past and they didn’t seem to work for you. That was then and this is now. Don’t go for them unless they attract you for some reason.
These tools will boost your energy, calm your mind, and help prevent or minimize some health problems.
TIP 1
Go for homeostasis! This means reiki or reflexology.
Include one or both of these modalities in your schedule this week…and every week. I suggest distance reiki. Self-reflexology is a good option.
Hand reflexology is easy to use. Does the thought of hand reflexology seem challenging to you? Your library should have hand reflexology books on its shelves.
To simplify your hand reflexology journey, I’ll send you a hand chart and detailed instructions for reflexing your own hands.
Just send me your mailing address to thurmangreco@gmail.com and I’ll return them to you. There is no charge or obligation for this chart and instruction list.
TIP 2
Eat whole, fresh, locally-grown food.
Whatever diet plan you’ve chosen, this is a good tip for you and your diet. When you say “Yes!” to fresh foods, you minimize processed, packaged, shipped products.
When you eat fresh, your food will taste better. Your calories will not be so empty. Your food will be authentic.
You’ll find authentic food on the outer perimeter of your local food store or at a nearby farmers market.
TIP 3
Don’t skip your breakfast.
This meal can be anything from a serving of yogurt to a platter of eggs, bacon, and a hearty whole grain bagel.
Whatever you choose for your breakfast, include powerful berries. Their antioxidents can’t be overemphasized. Let a banana give you the potassium you need.
TIP 4
Skip the sugar. This doesn’t have to be a shock to your system. Begin sugar avoidance by skipping it one day a week. On this day, instead of sugar, include a sugar substitute on any food or in any beverage you would ordinarily use sugar.
There are many brands available. Try several until you find one you like.
If you feel weird without sugar, snack on some chocolate.
TIP 5
Water! Water! Water!
I know. My message is stuck when it comes to water. But, I mean it. Water gives you energy, moves toxins out, and makes your skin look younger. It also has 0 calories.
What more can we ask for?
If you’re not accustomed to water, I suggest this:
When you feel tired, drink a glass of water. No, don’t drink a glass of water. Instead, chug it right down. Now, wait a few minutes to see if you feel better.
When your lips feel dry, drink a glass of water.
What about your urine? What color is it? Concentrated urine has a murky color you don’t need. Drinking more water will get rid of the murky color.
TIP 6
Go Nuts
Daytime snacks are an essential taste treat between meals. They boost your energy midmorning and midafternoon. They are a welcome break from the day’s activities.
One snack which is good for your diet boost is nuts.
Walnuts, almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts give you energy, satisfy your appetite, and are high in anti-inflammatory fatty acids.
They do lots of other things too. Each nut is different and unique. Take a moment to read about all the wonderful things they do .
Instead of reaching for a sugary food, go for the nuts.
Thanks for reading this article, the first of several to help you boost your diet.
To get your free hand reflexology chart and instruction sheet, please email your mailing address to thurmangreco@gmail.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Reflexology, Reiki, and Your Self-Care Diet Journey
Your diet is a life-changing self-care journey.
A successful diet begins with a plan . For many, this plan begins and ends with the diet itself. Nobody gets past whether the diet is Keto or low carbohydrate or low calorie diet or any one of hundreds of weight-loss diets.
The diet itself is only a part of the total package. A diet is a time when you embark on a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical self-care journey. And, surprisingly, it’s not really about getting to a certain body size. The quest for a body with perfect proportions is doomed before it even starts.
Your total diet package is a quest for a healthy body that functions, not just window dressing.
These upcoming blog posts are keys focused on helping you achieve your goal. They offer you tools to change your life so that you achieve your own goals. There is no authority here telling you what is best for you.
Except you. You are your own authority. No one is going to challenge what is right or wrong for you.
This is your ultimate self-care manual. As you read these blog posts, use whatever tools work best for you, your health and your well-being.
They help you achieve your self-care goals as they share ways to boost your energy, enliven and calm your mind, balance your emotions, and prevent, control, and reverse health problems you experience.
Your life-changing, self-care journey begins with reflexology and reiki sessions. My hope is that you will schedule at least one session each week.
Keep a journal describing your feelings and reactions after each session:
Are you sleeping better?
Are you calmer?
Maybe you are more excitable.
What about your bowel movements?
What does your skin look like?
Whatever happens to you, write down what you observe. It may take several sessions before you feel and observe differences. Or, you may see changes from the first session.
There is no wrong or right way to experience reflexology and Reiki. Each person is different.
Regular sessions are important for your self-care diet journey.
You may perceive some obstacles here. Now is a good time to overcome them. Find a Reiki master teacher and learn Reiki 1 if you don’t know where to get the sessions. A Reiki 1 class will teach you everything you need to help yourself in a successful journey.
Is $$$ an obstacle? Offer an exchange of some kind.
Regular foot reflexology sessions are ideal. if you don’t know a reflexologist, get a book and chart on hand reflexology and give yourself a session.
Thank you for reading this blog post. It’s the beginning of several articles written with you and your successful diet in mind. The things I suggest in them are not listed by how important they are.
Each suggestion is equally important. More important is how they interest you. And how each item motivates you to progress on your journey. I’m hoping you will see each change you make as an achievement toward your goal.
As you continue down your diet path, I’m hoping you will let each change be a new habit you can live with for the rest of your life.
Please post this article on your favorite social media network. Share it with a friend.
I’m looking forward to joining you on your journey.

Dieting? Water Works to the Rescue! – 5 Tips and 2 Secrets .
DO NOT FINISH
So, what does that mean?
Finding the best beverages to support your weight loss is crucial. Like everything else you eat or drink or do, there are a few pointers: Water works!
- Stop drinking anything with calories.
2. Get sodas and diet sodas out of your life today!
But, it’s one thing to read Do Not Drink Sodas or Diet Sodas. It’s another thing altogether to replace this habit with something better.
3. Begin by drinking water, infused water, and/or strained, homemade broth.
The truth is that you have more options than you thought. All those different brands of water on the shelf have different flavors. Check them out. Find the one you like best.
Beyond that, stevia drops can enhance your water choices.
Try out decaffeinated herbal tea and broths prepared without MSG.
When I lived in the Washington, D.C., metro area, several friends of mine were patients of a weight-loss physician. He guided them through a successful diet program.
His secret? Drink 50 glasses of water a day, every day. Can’t go his guideline?
4. Drink at least 80 ounces of fluids daily.
So what does that mean? Water works!
It means you carry a water bottle and drink from it all day.
5. Skip beverages during meals because liquids can move your food out of your stomach too fast. When this happens, you have a smaller opportunity to feel full from your meal.
6. Does food make you thirsty? Wait 20-30 minutes after your meal and then enjoy your water to your heart’s content.
TWO WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS:
Begin every meal well-hydrated. You feel less hungry when you are thirsty. Water Works!
Begin each meal with a reiki therapy or reflexology session. It doesn’t have to be an hour long, or even a half hour long. A 10-15 minute session, or even a 5 minutes session can be enough to calm your mealtimeCalm meals encourage a more successful diet.

On a Diet? – Reflexology Self-Care Takes You the Extra Mile to Success.
Are you on a diet? Are you trying to “cut back” on foods? Or, are you just thinking about thinking about it all.
Whatever your situation, regular reflexology or Reiki sessions are important. If a reflexology session does nothing else, it will calm and balance your body and your soul. Homeostasis. That’s not peanuts, guys. It’s self-care!
Your first step to your ideal weight is calm. Your first step to calm is a reflexology session . Regular sessions bring calm, peace. They bring homeostasis to your life and your body.
People who receive regular reflexology sessions sleep better, chew their nails less, have more regular bowel movements, experience less heartburn.
When you are calm, it is easier to congratulate yourself on your successes, no matter how small they seem.
There is one other thing reflexology sessions do: Regular reflexology sessions invite mindful and enjoyable activities in your life.
Your diet will work better when you are able to make eating a mindful and enjoyable activity.
Eating becomes mindful at the start, when you set the table for your meal. Use a placemat or table cloth when you set out your dishes. Use nice dishes. Set a calm scene for your meals – especially if you eat alone.
When eating alone, have a special plate and napkin that you use.
Whether you eat alone or with others, you want your experience to be enjoyable.
Do not eat food in your car – or on the bus – or train. (Your car is a good place to drink water.)
Don’t let yourself get distracted by your TV, computer, phone, or IPad. You will do this by reserving your meal as a special time for calm. You want to enjoy your meal. Taste each bite. What are you eating? What color is each food? How does it taste?
Notice your feelings.
Eat slowly. Make each bite small – smaller than your thumbnail. Chew each bite.
Notice your feelings. Have you eaten enough? You can check in with your hunger level. When you are no longer hungry, stop eating.
Have you eaten everything on your plate? No?
It’s okay. The important thing is to enjoy your meal in calm and mindfulness.
