Slow Down and Heal
When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly, completely rest and recuperate?
You need a deep healing rest.
For now, it is time for reclusion or retreat. Find a quiet space and seek solitude.
A question arises: What needs to heal? How much time will it take?
This isn’t just an ordinary rest. This rest involves your body, your mind, and your spirit.
Slow down. Take time to transform and transmute your experiences as you renew. And, as you renew your body, mind, and spirit, encourage those around you to participate in this renewal.
Is this a time for faith? Deep healing and new beginnings rely on faith for unexpected outcomes.
This is a time for deep rest.
Remember, rest is a birthright.
DO THIS
Do you practice Reiki? Do you receive Reiki? Do you meditate? Or…Do you have a mindfulness practice?
If not, try something easy and accessible. Choosing Reiki or meditation is a way of choosing yourself.
MEDITATE
Sit down and relax. light a candle. Burn incense. Listen to calming music. If you have one, hold a crystal or rock.
You need a private and safe space to focus your breathing. After each complete inbreath and out breath, let there be a moment to let yourself just be. Breathe deeply from your abdomen to let quiet and peace seep in.
This is a time to completely slow down and relax.
You notice that you are holding a small amethyst crystal in one hand. It begins to grow warmer in your hand. The power of this crystal radiates out into your hands, up through your arms, into your shoulders, and, finally, into each body part.
As it radiates its healing warmth, you feel comfortable and safe. After a few moments you feel the full power of the violet flame in this crystal. You feel this flame purifying, forgiving, healing, and transmuting every cell of your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic body.
You visualize it traveling through your emotions, your thoughts, and your memories. You notice it cleansing any recurring patterns of negativity in your complete body.
As this happens, you release negativity into the flame of the candle. You see it transformed into light. The negativity is being consumed.
You are lighter now. You feel this moment holds your world in divine order.
You accept this perfection in deep gratitude.
You rest in this healing moment. You feel safe. You say to yourself: “I love and accept myself just the way I am. I belong in this peace.”
You realize it’s time to return to the outside world. You know that you can return to this space any time you want.
You thank your crystal for its healing energy. You slowly shake your arms and legs now.
You gently return to the world – healed. You can share your peace and calm with others now.

Sorrow: Is There a Storm in Your Heart?
When someone inflicts pain, it changes you deeply. It creates a cellular memory.
At times, your body responds to this memory as if the event were happening now.
Knowing sorrow is to experience it. The more experience you have with it, the more you know it – inside and out. Some of this is internal.
When you know it, you are getting to the heart of the matter.
What to do?
Now is a time to grow. Evolution does not come skating in.
No sirree. It rides in on despair and loneliness.
It’s time to go in another direction so you can be stronger – more resilient. You are transformed.
You will evolve!
How?
Dance – Scream – Roll around on the floor – Write – Beat Drums – Journal – Draw pictures – Run – Change jobs – Move away – Apologize
DO THIS:
Move on
MEDITATION:
This meditation focuses on making your coping easier and more effective if you are under severe stress.
Find a comfortable and safe place to sit. Select a place where you will not be disturbed. When you are in this safety zone, settle into the quiet where you can feel positive and relaxed. This is your sanctuary.
Turn on some healing music. Light a candle. Fire up some incense. Do whatever makes you feel calmer. You may enjoy lighting a Himalayan salt lamp.
Now get comfortable. You may prefer a chair or a mat on the floor; whatever works best for you.
Breathe slowly, calmly and deeply. Breathe deeply – into your heart. Breathe into those places needing healing. Breathe healing and positive energies into your deepest self.
As you exhale, release negativity, stress, fear, and anything that needs to go.
Develop a pattern: breathe out to release negativity and pain.
Breathe in deeply as you receive the wisdom of your heart and your light. Breathe the wisdom of your being.
Let this breath pattern lead you to an inner sanctuary.
Open your eyes to find yourself in a tranquil place where you feel secure and strong. Your surroundings make you feel comfortable. Notice the details of this space.
Notice what this space is like. What does it look like? What is the temperature in this space?
Notice everything. Include the smells, noises, colors, textures, and shapes of this space. Examine everything about this space.
Possibly this space is from your past. Possibly it is one you are creating for your own special healing needs.
Whatever this space, you are in control of this sanctuary. Take time now to create this place just for you and your healing needs.
Notice the areas and objects that represent safety, security, and peace. This space is your refuge. Explore it now. Immerse yourself in this sanctuary, feeling its protection and beauty.
Feel the protection this space offers you.
It is time for you to return to your day now. As your breathing brings you to now, carry the safety and calm of your sanctuary with you.
Know that you can return to this space whenever you choose.
Tune into your breathing now.
Peace be with you.
Celebrate!
Can you take time today to honor the end of a cycle?. This is your opportunity to acknowledge your achievements. It’s also time to explore the spiritual meaning of your life.
This is your celebration because today’s feelings can come only from the inside out. You won’t get there waiting for someone else to create your happiness for you.
Because happiness comes from within, this is a good time to know and honor a fact of life: You are the one who brings gratitude and generosity into your life every single day.
How?
Focus on those you love. Share your heart energy today and every single day. This is where you find happiness.

Journal a conversation with your inner child. Explore something you might not have understood in the past. Offer love and affection to your inner child now. Explain your feelings. You are complete as you are.
What do you expect to happen in the future?
Now, lay your hands on your journal and send it love and peace in the moment.
MEDITATION:
Go to a safe, secluded and comfortable space. Sit in a comfortable chair.
Allow yourself to relax and feel good about your situation and your self.
take several breaths which begin deep within your abdomen. Breathe in gratitude and positive thoughts. Close your eyes now as you inhale. As you exhale, visualize all negativity and toxins leaving your body and your space.
You are relaxing now. As you breathe, feel this calm coming up through your feet and your legs. Feel this deep relaxation as it enters your entire body. In a short time, feel your inbreaths filling your entire body with light and positive energy. All is positive.
After a few moments of in and out breaths, you feel deeply relaxed.
You open your eyes and see that you are sitting in your chair under a large, inflated helium balloon.
You are so relaxed that you feel weightless.
You realize that you, your chair, and your helium balloon are floating up and up and up.
You are are above the trees now. You look around and see this new vista generated by your place above the trees.
Still rising, you float through a cloud. Looking down, you see the earth as a ball of light. You enjoy the love and acceptance coming to you from the earth.
After a few moments, you know that it is time for you to return to your quiet space and your celebration of your self. You begin to float down, down, down.
You return to this space where you began your journey feeling happy and relaxed.
You take a deep breath. You know you can return to this journey any time you want.
