Reflexology For The Spirit

Energize Yourself This Holiday Season!

We’re here again.  Another new holiday season promises party food, extreme calorific  drinks, sinful desserts, and a to-do list that’s already a mile long.  And, it’s only just Thanksgiving around the corner!  The challenge is to get to 2025 without feeling depleted.

HOW TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE:

Control your Day in Your Morning

Don’t Let Dehydration Zap Your Energy

Create an Autopilot Eating Plan

Are your schedule and to-do list scary?  Two things you can do to get the most out of your day include a healthy breakfast and an early-rising morning walk.  (If the walk is out, a few minutes set aside for exercise are good.)

I like an early walk because I feel that the exposure to the early-morning sun really helps.  I like getting my Vitamin D fix early in the day.

SET YOUR BREAKFAST UP FOR STEADY ENERGY THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY.  Include protein, healthy fat and carbs.

My preferred breakfast includes muesli topped with a protein powder and applesauce.

I pour 1 serving of Bob’s Red Mill Muesli in a bowl.  I add 1 scoop of Collagen peptides from Woodstock Apothecary (in Woodstock, NY) and 1 serving of Musselman’s Unsweetened Applesauce which I get at my local Hannaford’s Grocery store.

This breakfast is nutritious, delicious, and the easiest meal I’ve found.  There is nothing to heat up, nothing to chop, and nothing to cook.

If you feel like you need more food, add a small container of yogurt or 4 ounces of milk.

You really can’t get anything easier than this and it is optimum nutrition.  This recipe offers the most nutrition with the least amount of preparation.

This covers step 1 of my holiday success plan.

STEP 2:  KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED.

Develop hydration habits which become second nature.  Drink something often  throughout the day.  Just because you’re not sweating doesn’t mean you don’t need the water.

People younger that me can’t keep up with my energy if they don’t keep hydrated.  To avoid fatigue, begin drinking your fluids early in the day.  Water is essential to your holiday to-do list success.  Include teas, broths, and soups.  The rule here is this:  whatever works.  Just keep fluids in your daily activities.

STEP 3:  YOUR DIETARY AUTO-PILOT PLAN

prepare meals which are fun to eat, nourishing, and easy.  Save the exciting meals and adventurous foods for parties.  For everything else, stick to your easy-to-buy-and-fix favorites.

These three things should get you to to 2025 without feeling depleted.

If you can squeeze it in, schedule a Reiki or Reflexology Session just for you!

ALSO, my wish for you is that you will be able to develop new health habits which are easy to use and help you get through your days better.

Thanks for reading this article!

In Memory: Grandpa Woodstock

 

I found the story about Grandpa Woodstock on Trish LeaseWay’s Facebook thread.  Her words and the pictures she took transported me back in time instantly to the first time I met him.

“Grandpa Woodstock is coming!  Grandpa Woodstock is coming!”  His very own herald announced his arrival with Lady Estar and Hector, their fluffy little white dog, as they made their way to the food pantry for Wednesday afternoon grocery shopping.

He parked his famous colorful cart at the pantry entrance under the shade of a tree so Hector wouldn’t get overheated.  While Grandpa Woodstock and Lady Estar came in to shop, Hector patiently waited in the cart.

In Woodstock, Grandpa Woodstock was the most colorful of the colorful and the most charming of the charming with his props and smile.  Residents loved him.  Travelers from all over the globe adored him.  Women, especially, responded to him.  How could anyone resist?

While waiting in the hallway to shop, Grandpa Woodstock entertained everyone:  “My, how beautiful you look today!” he gushed enthusiastically as he sounded the horn attached to his walking stick “Toot toot”.

I was no exception to the rule.  His words melted my heart.  Because, in reality, working in the pantry was tough with the overcrowded hallway, overstuffed food shelves, and overtired shoppers.  When Grandpa Woodstock and Lady Estar shopped in the pantry, none of it mattered.

He made us feel special when he showed off his clothes, his cart, his horn, his peace sign, and posed for photos.

What a pair!  Grandpa and Lady Estar looked alike.  My eyes told me they were a pair of matching perfect size 8’s.  Their long flowing silver hairstyles and their lovely matching beards only emphasized their striking appearance as they stood in the pantry selecting veggies for the evening meal they planned to serve to their closest homeless friends.

He and Lady Estar dressed beautifully in flowing silk skirts and kimonos.  They favored red floral print jackets, dresses.  Their toenails were painted and they wore matching Teva sandals.  As they chatted, I felt they were already dressed for their evening event.

When they left the pantry, Grandpa Woodstock pushed their cart out to the village green so admirers could take pictures, buy post cards, and donate money in Grandpa’s tip jar.

None of Woodstock’s rich and famous got so many requests for autographs, photographs.  They couldn’t compete with Grandpa Woodstock’s show off tricks.  Maybe some of these famous people should have gotten a horn.

This was street theater at its finest.  He drew us in, made us feel special for a moment.  Life was beautiful!

“My how lovely you look today!” he announced to the crowd, waving a peace sign in the air.  Grandpa Woodstock convinced us all with his smile and the toot of his horn that we were accepted by the community, that we were okay, and that our pantry was important.

As I remember this special moment in time, I’m reminded that neither Grandfather Woodstock, nor the Woodstock he lived in, exist anymore.  Grandpa was the last of the line.  Everyone else was gone – one way or another.

Time and gentrification is moving us forward – with no exceptions.

A Meditation for You and for Now

The bottom line about meditation is this:  communication.

A meditation can be done anywhere.  But the best location is the one where you are in a quiet place, uninterrupted, and where you can relax and feel safe.

A good meditation posture is the one where you sit or lay down with your eyes closed in whatever position is most comfortable for you.

Like other forms of communication, the more you practice meditation, the more you will be receptive to the energy and greater awareness of the activity.

At the beginning of your meditation, you may want to light a candle, ring a bell, burn incense, play soothing music.  You may hold a meaningful store or other symbol such as a cross or star.

Close your eyes and focus your breathing as you inhale and exhale slowly and deeply.  Think about your breath as you inhale and exhale.  Breathe slowly and deeply for the next several minutes while you allow your sacred self to take control.  This will let you calm your sensory perceptions.

Notice how your body relaxes with each breath.

This quiet time is a priority.  With every breath, you relax a bit more deeply.  Light and energy and positive thoughts enter your body with every inhale.

Allow a sense of well-being and gentle relaxation to cover your entire self.

Toxins, anxiety, and frustrations leave your body with each exhale.  This is a good time to discard discomfort.  Relaxation replaces the toxins with every breath.

Breathe in healing light and warmth from the crown of your head down through your body – your upper chest, your back and spine, down your abdomen and pelvic areas, hips, thighs, and down your legs to your feet.

Your breath will guide this light to encircle your body and circulate around your body several times.

When you are ready, gather the energy at your feet and let it flow up your body to your head.

See this energy flowing out from your head as a fountain of light.  It gathers at your feet in a pool of energy and then flows back up to the crown of your head.

Repeat this fountain flow several times – as long as you like.

When you are relaxed, comfortable, and energized, it is time to leave the meditation and return to the room.

Open your eyes.  Gently shake your arms, hands, legs, and feet.

Now, smile, knowing that you can return to this space whenever you want.

 

Your Body Scan: Use This Ritual When You Need Uplifting Calm and Well

Have you ever experienced the luxury of a body scan?  Have you ever heard of a body scan?

This little-known technique releases tension effectively. Use it often. Your muscles, bones, and nerves will thank you!

A body scan helps you release not only tension, but also pain, tightness, or warm areas.

Begin your body scan by finding a quiet place where you can sit or lie in a comfortable position. As you get comfortable, encourage your breath to become deeper and slower.  Lengthen your inhales and exhales.

Focus on your toes.  What do you feel?  If you feel tension, allow your toes and feet to relax.  Encourage tension to leave your body with every exhale.  See the tension disappear into the air.

Now, repeat this process as you work your way up through the rest of your body.  Pay attention to your feet, calves, knees, thighs, hip and pelvic area, back, shoulders, upper arms, elbows, lower arms, hands, neck, jaw, face, eyes, and scalp.

Notice what you find:  Stress, tension, stiffness, cold areas, tight muscles.

When you reach your scalp, reverse the process and move your attention back down your body. When you finish, you will be back with your toes.

Now, notice how your feet feel.  What about the rest of your body?

Stay with this feeling for a few minutes.  Enjoy the relaxation and calm  for as long as you want before ending the session.  Take as much time as you wish.

When it is time to end the scan, move your body just a little.  Shift into the here and now.  Let the calm soothe your body – from the toes to the top of your head.

Take a slow, breath and join the here and now at your own pace.

Lift Yourself Up: 6 Things That Work

Sometimes, we’re aware of life’s impacts when they happen.  Other times, they sneak up on us.  We wake up and realize things haven’t been “right” for a while or even a  long time.

Life is many things to many different people.  Over time, things change. The changes can come daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or even more slowly.

However that is for you,  when you realize things aren’t what you consider ideal – or even acceptable – it’s time to lift yourself up.

This is a good opportunity to spend energy connecting with your community.  You may find that your community is experiencing adjustments as well as yourself.  Who are you in this community?  Are you comfortable with your place here?

The important thing is to connect with people who lift you up.  You find them when you connect with your community – through friends, groups, and extended families.

Check in with those who are important to you.

Take a deep breath and a break.  Self-care activities such as meditation and enough sleep can be particularly healing now.  (Meditation always comes up first on the self-care list.  However, it is not popular with everyone.  The point is to choose something that works for you.)

Returning to body work habits such as reflexology or Reiki therapy can be particularly appreciated now.  While you’re focusing on these new (or renewed) connections, schedule extra sessions to keep you grounded and steady.

This is also a time to pick up a new skill through classes, books, or other ways of learning.

Finally, show up for others in positive ways which honors them.  This makes you a conduit for healing in ways you may not have thought of before.

Being a conduit for healing is a basic tenet of self-healing.  Being a conduit does not require that you change your story or anyone else’s.

Being a conduit for healing does not really offer therapy even.  Simply being there and showing up is enough.

Reiki and Me: A Personal Transformation

Flashback to the 90’s.

I lived in the Washington, D.C. metro area when I went to the dogs.

I took my complete professional wardrobe (conservative suits, white blouses,  natural colored stockings,  sensible shoes, and matching power jewelry) to the  Ft. Belvoir Thrift Shop and said “goodbye” to my past life.

I dusted off my massage therapy certificate which I earned from the Potomac MyoTherapy Institute in 1980.  (I wrote about PMTI in my wellness book “Healer’s Handbook”.)

I practiced massage therapy and foot reflexology as far beneath the radar screen as I could get.  Except for my clients, my goal was “invisible”.

And, I studied canine massage therapy, more foot reflexology,  and animal communication at different workshops and classes around the country.

Names like Jonathan Rudinger, Penelope Smith, Dawn Hayman, Marge D’Urso, and Bill Flocco bring up extremely fond memories.

This is where my life took a change.

I attended an introductory canine massage therapy class in Clinton, New York, at Spring Farm CARES.  At the first (of many) class I attended there, every other student in the class was a Reiki practitioner or master.

Not only was I the only student not attuned to Reiki, I couldn’t even spell it.

Don’t get me wrong.  Reiki wasn’t a part of the curriculum in this class.  It was simply a part of each student’s credentials and vocabulary.

I was intrigued by this healing technique they all knew and used.  As soon as I returned home I began searching to find out about Reiki and how was it taught.   I  asked everyone I knew about it.  Keep in mind, this was the Northern Virginia suburbs where not even massage was legal.

It was also just before computers became common. I didn’t yet know about  Google.

What I really wanted to know was where I could find a teacher.  I definitely didn’t like being the only person in a class not connected to something that was obviously important to the rest of the people in the room.

While searching for a teacher, I discovered  only 6 Reiki books.  One title I remember: “Essential Reiki” by Diane Stein.

I also learned that two friends were Reiki Masters.  In seeking a Reiki Master Teacher, I learned that people I knew very well were keeping deep dark secrets from the world.  The secrets?  Reiki.

Amazing:  Knowing that a close friend’s deepest, darkest secret was Reiki says  things about my close friends, about Reiki, and about Virginia.

Kathy Levin and Barbara Kaplan were healing people and not even sharing their skills with anyone.  And, finally, they weren’t even whispering the names of their teachers.  Both women claimed to have learned Reiki years before.  Their stories could have been begun with “Long ago and far away…”

I dug and dug and finally found a metaphysical gift shop in Vienna, VA which taught a variety of interesting things on the weekends.  Reiki was buried in a long list of interesting spiritual-sounding classes at Terra Christa.

Needless to say, Mary Ruth Van Landingham and her classes were a gold mine for me.  I learned nine different types of Reiki and a whole host of other things.  For the next few years, I was a student in most of the weekend classes in Mary Ruth’s classroom behind her shop.

Soon, Reiki joined my below-the-radar healing sessions of reflexology, massage therapy, canine massage therapy, animal communication.

The Reiki training I received fit well into every service I offered.

Not in the Reiki category, but important:  Dan Chesbro ordained me at Terra Christa.  Throughout the years, most of my Reiki students reached out to Dan Chesbro for ordination.

Mary Ruth Van Landingham planted the seed for my first book “Healer’s Handbook”.  It took years from Mary Ruth’s guiding suggestion to an actual book. My life experiences had to catch up with the text.

While all this was happening on the weekends, something else happened that was quiet, calm, positive, and distinct.

My life changed.  I turned some kind of spiritual corner.

Reiki is  not necessarily an out-loud modality.  Reiki touches every life differently.  After all, we’re all each individual and unique.

It became a part of my life without much fanfare.  And, it was certainly easy to learn.  Through the years, it’s become such a part of my life that sometimes I feel I don’t give it enough credit.

Reiki is automatic and quiet.  Reiki doesn’t need a lot of attention.  It stays with me.  It doesn’t need equipment  and it doesn’t require periodic recertifications.

I use Reiki and reflexology together regularly.  They work hand-in-glove without the need of a prescription.

I’m grateful for the healing modalities I’ve learned throughout my life.  They  served my clients and students well.  Sometimes I feel I don’t give Reiki and reflexology the credit they deserve.

When I think about it, part of the usefulness of Reiki and reflexology is that they don’t need attention.  They don’t need credit.  They just do the work.

SO, thank you Reiki and reflexology.

And, thank you to everyone who has read and does read this blog.  Thanks for buying the books and thank you for referring me to your friends, relatives, and neighbors.

I regularly invite Reiki practitioners to come on my show to discuss and receive Reiki.

Where Are You Hiding?

I admit it….. Volunteering changed my life.

The message here is this:  Don’t read this article if you’re happy where you’re at.

And…..

Skip this article if you don’t want to change your life.  Or, maybe, even ruin it forever.  Because, it’s just possible that, like myself, you’ll never again ignore the plight of people living on the margins.

It’s also possible you’ll find a community.  Everywhere I go, I encounter people living in new surroundings they discovered during the pandemic.  They live in the new place but are not yet a part of the location.

To put it bluntly:  They haven’t yet found a community.  To do that, they need an activity which calls them to do something beyond themselves.

People in this situation are homesick for a past which is not going to join them in the future.

To feel good about your home and your life in the present moment, find a place, a job, a hobby, a community which feeds you physically and spiritually.

This is where volunteering comes in.  When I began working at the food pantry,  I had no inkling that my old life was gone forever.  I had no clue that what would replace it was a  much richer tapestry.

I didn’t know I was being given an opportunity to do something great beyond myself.  Why was I hiding?

I simply immersed myself  in my community doing what needed to be done.  This brought a pivot in my life.

So, I ask you:  Are your curtains up?  Have you got the sofa where you want it in the living room?  If the answer to these two questions is “YES”, then where are you hiding?  Go for it!

You’ll soon be motivated to a more positive attitude because your self-image and social esteem are improved.  You’ll feel better about yourself.

Don’t know where to go?  Look around you.  Opportunities are all over the place.

Think about something you like:  dogs and cats, art, reading, children, politics.

When you find your volunteering place, you’ll see change.  You’ll discover what the word “impact” means.  You’ll write a new chapter in your life.

But, what if you don’t want to involve yourself in life on the margins?

What ifs are all around you.  But, they are not everywhere.  Scout around and find yourself a Reiki Master Teacher and go for it!  New horizons wait for you in Reiki, that’s for sure.  Your inner self is calling out.

ENJOY!

Anchor Yourself in Reality

On December 25, 1968, with my two toddlers, I landed on a remote airfield in the interior of Venezuela, on the outskirts of El Tigre.

Gulf Oil had just hired my husband, Tony, to work in the Mene Grande Oil Camp. ,In the weeks before he started this job, we sold our cars, and home, located in a Dallas, Texas suburb.

Movers packed  our belongings and sent them down to the seaport in Maracaibo, Venezuela by boat.  We didn’t see our household goods for six months because of a shipping strike.

We lived with nothing and no way to get anything.  Think of the things you feel you might need:  coffee pot, dishes, sheets, towels, chairs, tables, beds, sofas.

We borrowed from the neighbors.

I found myself living in a country where we lived in a community ringed by a high chain link fence near a remote village where I didn’t know the language.  My spouse spoke Spanish but he was at work all day long.

After a short time, the reality of my situation sank in.  The oil camp where I lived was fifty miles from a grocery store in one direction and fifty miles from headhunters in the other.  Ciudad Bolivar sat eighty miles in the third direction on the south bank of the Orinoco River.

I lived a life where a uniformed guard aiming a machine gun at me was the rule of the day as I went about my “que haceres” to the bank, bakery, gas station.  Wherever I went throughout the day, I took Jennette and Michele with me.  The goal was to never get separated from them.

Lastly, there was no outside phone line.

What a place to be when so much was happening in the rest of the world.  Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.  Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated.  Arlo Guthrie sang “Alice’s Restaurant”.  The My Lai Massacre was the scandal of the Vietnam War.

By the end of the first month, I found my anchor, my information line to reality.  I read about current events and news every Tuesday evening when the previous Sunday’s New York Times was delivered to my door.  As soon as the DC-3 landed about 4:30, we were all ready at our house. We loved greeting the paper delivery man as he dropped it off at our front door.  Tony and I read the last Sunday’s paper from cover to cover.

I had never been to New York City and it didn’t even matter.   The New York Times brought the world to me.

And, I’ve been reading the New York Times regularly since then.  I read it in San Francisco, Mexico City, San Antonio, Dallas, Monterey, CA., and Washington, D.C.

Some places I got the paper daily.  Others, it was weekly.  Wherever I lived, I read every copy I got my hands on.

No matter how the current events of my life unfolded, after reading the New York Times, I had a calmer, more realistic perspective.  The New York Times brought news with the calming reality of facts most of my adult life.

Even with all the drama of Biden versus Trump, stories in the New York Times are balanced, informative, real, and important.

To The New York times, I send a thank you for doing what you do so well.

To my readers, I sincerely hope and pray that you have found  a way to stay anchored.  Life is much easier that way.  This anchor adds an extra layer of depth to my spiritual work.  For me, this is essential.

I am simply unable to live my life from day-to-day without including planetary events.  I have friends, close friends, who are able to shut everything around them out.  I cannot.  I live on the planet earth and cannot ignore the reality of current events.

Along with the Reiki and Reflexology, I’m a more balanced person.  Current events are part of this circle of spiritual growth.  Include the necessary elements for balance.

One Way to Explore and Expand Your Path

We are, each of us, on a unique path.

You may follow your path from childhood and continue throughout your life, honoring your traditions.

Or, you may create your own path, making meaning out of each new step.

Wherever you are on your journey, your path is yours alone.  Only you occupy your space.

One thing you can do to help yourself advance on your path is to journal.    Because your path is yours alone, your journal will help you reflect on life’s meanings and what they teach you.

You can create your journal from an old tablet you found lying around on a table.  Or, you can create your a journal as a work of art with drawings, photos, paintings, and a creative cover.  Or, your journal can be anywhere between these two styles.

However you decide to create your journal, it can help you explore your spirituality.

Whatever you do to create your journal, it can help you explore the wonders of your life.  The words of your journal will help you learn more about how you think and feel.  This will help you create a deeper connection with your self and your path.

Your journal entries will help you explore your beliefs and how you feel and think about them.

The spiritual exploration offered by your journal will enhance and strengthen  your path.

Thanks for reading this article.

One Thing that Works When You are in an Anxiety Bubble

It seems, these days, that everyone I encounter is in an anxiety bubble.

At the Mower’s Meadow Flea Market Saturday, people were slowly walking through the market not even seeming to notice the booths they were walking by.

They didn’t even seem to even know that Woodstock was in the midst of a gorgeous day.

Frankly, I’m not surprised.  All we have to do is glance at the news on the phone – or on the computer – or on the TV.  None of us can escape current events.  Even my friend Annie, who knows how to block out all kinds of current events, can’t get away from this.

Now is a moment to schedule a Reiki or Reflexology appointment.  Scheduling several sessions over the next few weeks is ideal but reality permits us this healing based on what we can do.  One session is certainly better than nothing.

Now.  It’s time to rely on inner resources for peace.

It is time to be alone.

Just like that reflexology session you need, it may be you need to be alone and can’t get the time.  Truthfully, maybe you are terrified to be alone.

Whatever the situation, it’s time to feed your mind, your body, your soul.  You need to do this so your inner self can do its job properly.

Now is a good opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a Hermit as you take a short time off from the world so your inner and outer selves can meet, collaborate, and support you in the ways you need.

The Hermit is a card in the Tarot.  The Hermit is an archetype.  Well, you may not have the luxury of a neighborhood card reader.  Really, the Hermit can become a player in your story without a Tarot spread.

Were you ever in a situation where contemplation and soul-searching helped you come to an authentic decision?  Were you able to keep a mental/spiritual space to mull over your thoughts and situation without interference?

When you are in such a situation, you know this on some level: a truth is waiting for you.

Are you there now?  Is life calling for a time-out to reset things.  Use this time-out to think, rest, read, meditate, pray, focus on the important issues.

Sometimes you can get away.  Sometimes this getaway is a mental time out in your living room or a bench in a park or a walk through the flea market.

After all, your light is your light.  Your path is your path.  You need to work things out on your own.

You’ll feel better and calmer after its over.

Trusting in the change is basic.  All things change when the time is right.  With the Hermit, your inner voice will speak out to connect you to your wisdom.

Consider your long term aims and ambitions.

We all travel alone – each on our own vision quest.  This is how we find humility and peace.  Withdrawing from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world, we regain a perspective which includes the wisdom of silent introspection.

Enjoy this peace.

Solitude and soul-searching are the rules of the day.  When you are finally alone, you can be free of the external.  You have a chance to process what you’ve learned so far.

Enlightenment is on the way!
