Are You Having Trouble Sleeping?
You have a long-standing problem that you can no longer ignore.
Is the story finished?
Not Yet.
When will it end?
Until it’s over, you wake up in the middle of the night, haunted.
What is real and what is not?
Are you taking on the world’s troubles? Whether or not this is your case, you are a victim of your thoughts.
If anxiety, depression, trauma, and fear are trying to take control, it’s time to claim your energy. The challenge is to understand it. The goal is to make sense of the situation.
One way is to let go of the familiar and the safe. However life works, there isn’t much comfort here. You are overwhelmed, with too much to do.
Focus on all the ways you’re safe and cared for.
Can you see your worries diminish and disappear? Imagine happy endings.
DO THIS
This is a perfect opportunity to book a Reiki or Reflexology session. Both of these modalities promote homeostasis, something we all need.
MEDITATION
You are preparing for bed and sleep. Feel the pillow under your head. Feel the texture of your favorite sheets on your bed. Your blankets and covers enfold you and make you feel comfortable. Your mattress is perfect.
The air in your room is perfect. You breathe evenly, smoothly, and deeply. Each inbreath encourages you to sink deeper into the covers. You rest more deeply and feel peace surrounding you.
As you relax, you find yourself sitting on a comfortable bench in a secluded park. You notice the sky and see the clouds. A deep evening sky approaches the area.
There is no one around. The evening is coming. Everyone has left this part of the park. A quiet breeze blows around you.
You hear the gentle sounds of evening birds in the area.
You sink into your covers, floating into dreams and a deep restful sleep.
As you drift into sleep, you are aware of sounds in the room around you while, at the same time, you accept sleep.
You are aware of the darkness of your room. You embrace the comfort and safety you experience now.
You release the concerns, cares, and worries of the day. This restores your peace and calm.
You accept a deep and restful sleep. This allows you to wake feeling relaxed, refreshed, alert, and prepared to experience a positive day.

Moving Forward? Journey On!
When the time comes to walk away from something that no longer serves its purpose, you may feel a bit reluctant.
On the other hand, maybe you’re running for the door.
Either way, begin the next leg of the journey by setting boundaries. Rites of passage are always easier when you mentally prepare for the future.
When you set boundaries, you focus on things you want to leave behind. This is a way to streamline your transition.
Sometimes, when the moment to move on arrives, you know in your heart you’re not ready. Journey beginnings are easier when you are open-minded. Accepting help from others and leaving old baggage at the curb will make your passage much, much easier.
A move means you’re changing yourself totally: your mind, body, emotions, spirit. But it doesn’t stop with you. Your family, friends, and everyone you interact with will experience the fallout.
Truth seeking can be contagious. And, when your journey begins to change you…some close to you will join in your venture. Some will go in a different direction. Yet others will remain the same, unaffected by the changes moving you, your beliefs, and your activities forward.
Wish them all well and don’t forget to forgive yourself.
DO THIS
Whether your journey is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or a combination…now is a really good time to journal or chronicle its unfolding. Write for yourself. Express from your soul what is going on with you. Write what flashes into your consciousness.
MEDITATION
Make yourself comfortable – in a chair or on the floor. You want quiet and safety.
Breathe from deep within your abdomen. Breathe in calm. Breathe out negativity. Focus on this deep breathing for a few minutes as you breathe deeply in and out.
After a short time open your eyes and look around. You are in a room carrying baggage. You are carrying bags in your hands. You carry a large backpack on your shoulders and upper back. They are all full and heavy.
The room gives way to a relaxing beach. You are at the water’s edge. You set down your bags and your backpack. And you lie flat on the beach.
You look at the sky and see a gentle sunrise as the sun comes up on a new day.
As you pause to enjoy this morning, you gently move your legs and arms. You move your wrists. Your spine feels stiff. Your body is sore from carrying all this baggage.
You gently move the muscles and joints throughout your body. You take in much needed oxygen for your body. On an exhale, you send gentle relaxation throughout your body. The stiffness and soreness disappear.
You close your eyes and relax . After a few moments, you are ready to return to the room and the activities waiting for you.
You treat yourself to a glass of refreshing water.

When Winning is All that Counts
Whether it’s ongoing stress, domestic disputes, never-ending challenges, workplace conflicts with managers, or “the system”, it all comes down to this:
What do you gain from the aftermath of the battle?
It’s important to walk away with your self-respect. You can do this if you can exit at the right time.
When all is said and done and the battle degenerates to the point where you want nothing more than to win, you will probably feel broken and humiliated.
After the battle, the words to use are:
Unfair advantage, spitefulness, deception, and resentment.
DO THIS:
Practice energetic protection often, daily, and whenever you feel vulnerable. Allow this protective energy to surround and care for you through support and boundaries.
An easy but effective protective method is to cut the Cords. Spiritually cut the cords surrounding you from conversations, activities, relationships, past lives, etc.
To cut the Cords, close your eyes to visualize where these cords may be located around you. With the outer edge of your hand, reach out and slice the cords so that they fall away.
MEDITATION:
Settle yourself in a quiet, safe place. As you breathe in deeply, a glowing light surrounds your body.
Your inbreaths bring healing, protection, and peace. Your outbreaths release toxins and negativity that are sstuck in your body. This inbreathing and outbreathing brings peace, protection, and soothing properties. As the breath goes, so goes the tension. The inbreaths bring deeper peace and protection.
If you are aware of any place in your body that feels uncomfortable, give it permission to relax. Your breathing soothes stiffness and stress.
Take a couple of special breaths where you send the healing air to those body parts that are still stressed. Remind your body that this is the time to be at peace, at ease, and to heal.
You see a heaing pink light coming toward you. As it floats into your space, it moves and surrounds you. You feel a wave of this healing light relaxing you. You notice your muscles letting go as they become loose and relax. Your mind clears.
You are in a protective space which cancels negativity.
You know that you can return to this space whenever you want. This protection is available for you anytime you call it in.
You feel refreshed now. Your muscles and nerves are relaxed now. Your eyes are refreshed. You know you are protected, healed, and loved.
This space is available to you any time you want to return to it.

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.

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.

Walk Away
Walk away from negativity.
It takes real strength to head out into the unknown.
This can be a huge act of self-love. As you walk away from what is, you may find that your soul feels lighter and freer. After all, shedding outgrown expectations, hopes, people, ideas, beliefs, and ways of living can be a load-lightening experience.
This is a time of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts. They bring in new, lighter feelings. You may see things in new, brighter colors.
The intense shifting may begin a new mystical period for you. The things you just offloaded will help you travel lightly. This shift may lead you in the direction of happiness and greater meaning.
Truthfully, as you walk away, you heal. You’ve outgrown your past, whether it’s your job, a relationship, or your beliefs.
This is an empowering experience.
DO THIS:
Write a letter to your future. Share your expectations as you finally seek long-needed fulfillment.
MEDITATION:
Sit in a comfortable position in a private and safe location.
Close your eyes. Begin deep and regular breathing. Inhale healing strength and energy. Exhale negative and toxic elements in your life. Repeat these healing breaths for a few repetitions and focus your breathing on your feet.
Now, breathe in healing energy through your feet and up your legs. As you breathe in this healing energy, fill both your left and right feet and legs with nourishing, strength.
Empower your legs and feet to support and heal you in your journey to your future.
As you continue your breathing, focus on your feet and their reflex points which in turn send nourishment, healing, and strength to your entire body.
Your toes reflex your head, brain, sinuses, eyes, and ears.
Further down your feet, your metatarsal area reflexes your heart, lungs, and organs.
As you work your feet in circular motions, your foot down to your heel area includes the digestive organs.
After a few minutes of working your feet in circular motions, visualize your feet as healthy, strong and ready to support you as you walk away.
End your meditation as you see yourself as happy, loving, and peaceful. Visualize yourself reaching your goals.
Send blessings to the planet and all life in it.
Return now to healing inbreath and outbreaths. Breathe into your feet. Indulge yourself for a few moments in these luxurious breaths.

Nostalgia & Past Lives Take You to a Place You’ve Known Before: Today. How do They Connect?
Past is a huge word.
When you think about its meaning, memories of times gone by surface. Your timeline stretches beyond this lifetime to include previous lives. It includes friends, family, love, careers, childhoods, adult events, conquests, and wounds.
Nostalgia reminds you of the wisdom of your past experiences so you see lessons learned and patterns repeated. These memories influence your todays and tomorrows.
Gather the nostalgia of your past, bless your memories, and value the importance of the present. This is where you are now. TODAY
Begin with forgiveness. Each day is an opportunity to use your personal history to help you as you move into the future.
Reminiscing and reconnecting ground you in your timeline of success.
DO THIS
This is a good time for a Reiki therapy session.
MEDITATION
Gently close your eyes and take some deep breaths. You may want to sigh and exhale. Indulge yourself.
Stretch a little.
Yawn.
Breathe in and breathe out. Notice your body adopting a regular pattern of breathing. This is easy for you as you relax. Notice how you relax on the outbreaths.
As you continue to relax with each in and out breath, allow yourself to travel to a meadow. Relax into the atmosphere. Notice the sun as as it shares it warmth for you. Feel a gentle breeze.
You become aware of the meadow where you are resting. Notice the grass, flowers, shrubs, and trees.
Feel the peace of this space.
Feel how you respond to the surroundings in this meadow. Absorb the feelings of safety and peace. Accept the wisdom of this place. Feel your power here.
Most of all, feel safe. You are safe here.
You look around and see a path. You know that this path invites you to journey toward a moment of letting go.
You know that you can let go now. You know that forgiveness means you’re moving on without lugging around so much baggage.
You know that this is a moment of peace of mind and inner calm.
You can experience miracles and blessings along with forgiveness.
At this moment, you forgive yourself as well as the other.
You are being set free.
You sense that you are moving to a new normal. You’re at a new normal.
You are forgiven – now and forever.
You linger with this feeling for a short time.
Now, when you are ready, return to the room. Return feeling lighter than when you left.

Boredom: Is it Safe for Me Right Now?
Have you had the chance to be bored lately? It’s certainly not exciting.
But such luxury!
Boredom comes on the heels of fun, joy, and all good things. Sometimes, when boredom sets in, I wander through the house wondering things like: Why? What should I do now?
Once I define my situation: the blahs! – I like to take a little time and reflect on this experience. Truly, I’m a little afraid of boredom.
Boredom, after all, creates space for new and different and creative things to germinate. Unexpected opportunities will appear, that’s for sure.
Meanwhile, I think about boredom. Sitting is for thinking. Lying down is for recharging. Sleeping is for healing. Standing is for action.
Sitting invites unexpected opportunities.
When I’m bored, I stop and talk with myself about encouraging unexpected opportunities. I know they always come: hand-in-hand with boredom.
It’s easy to live with boredom. After all, “blah” is safe, if nothing else.
When, if, you can shake off boredom, you’ll discover opportunities you’ve never noticed before. They’ve been hiding just out of sight.
This is also a good time to focus on things you can create. Tap into a timeline which isn’t available right now. It’s there though. Just out of sight.
Take time to meditate now. Slow your mind a bit and heal. Meditation can release old emotions, making room for renewal and newness. This helps you become comfortable.
Begin with an out-of-the-way spot where you feel safe and comfortable. Take a deep breath. Hold it for a moment and exhale. As you inhale and exhale, release old memories, fears, and everything that no longer serves you.
Release tension with each exhale.
Breathe in all that you need with each inhale.
With a final inhale, see that you are walking in a forest. Observe the stillness and the quiet as you walk along. Smell the trees, flowers, and the clean green of the forest.
As you walk along, you come to a small pool with a gentle waterfall. There is a bench just on the edge of the pool.
Everything is clean, quiet, and inviting. You remove your shoes and clothes and put them on the bench. Then you step into the pool. The water is just the perfect temperature. You enjoy the feel of the water as you sit in the pool
While you are surrounding yourself in the pool, you look at the area around the edge of the pool. You notice the plants, the trees, and the sunlight coming down through the trees in the area around you.
As the water surrounds your body, you feel renewed, cleansed, and refreshed.
You feel like a new person.
After a short time, you look around and know it’s time to leave the pool. You step out of the pool and find a new towel on the bench. You dry yourself with the towel.
As you reach for your clothes, you notice they are different from the ones you left there. These new clothes feel soft and shimmery as you put them on. They fit you perfectly. The colors are your favorites.
The clothes fit perfectly. You look different now. You feel different, changed somehow. You begin to walk away from the pool.
As you walk away, you come to a figure on the path. You know, without being told, that this person is joining you to answer a question you have in your heart. .
The answer to your question appears in your mind and heart.
You know now, it is time to return to the present as you receive the wise being’s blessing.
You leave the pool area on a path. Feeling positive, you notice your surroundings. You are ready to process the information you received in the forest.
It’s time to return to the present. Filled with gratitude, you know that you can return to this place any time you want.
You send messages of gratitude to your family and friends.

Celebrate Friendships, Life, and Your Community
A gift from your higher power, your friends are the family you choose. Closer than sisters and brothers in many ways, they are defined by connections forged through life experiences.
Cherish, nourish, and celebrate your special support system.
Who are these people?
Your friends are the ones you call for much-appreciated advice.
They are the ones you’d like to spend your time with.
They are the ones that you know and trust. You see your own reflection in their faces.
Celebrate friendship! This means express feelings, cooperation, and give help freely, with love. Friendship can be more than romance.
The happiness of friendship runs deep.
Go have fun!
Life can be easier when you meet with your friends, spiritually preserving relationships. This is a good way to communicate with those you treasure as you build spiritual links.
Journey now with a meditation to celebrate friendship.
Find a quiet place to ground and center. Light a candle. Play some meditative music, Light some incense.
Whatever. The goal is to get comfortable, relax as you sit, or lie flat on a comfortable position.
Using the energy of the Earth, focus on your heart chakra. Visualize a vase of flowers or a small flower garden. However these blooms come through, flowers float in space with your heart.
It is serene here, peaceful. Eternal bliss secures the love you feel.
The area around your heart attracts a variety of flowers. Each is unique with various colors, shapes, leaves, and stems.
Flowers gently move together as you breathe in and breathe out. Toxins leave the area with each exhale. Love, peace, and serenity ground you with each inbreath. Flowers gently come together.
As you observe them, you realize that each flower represents a friend in your life. Some blooms represent friends in past lives. Others are in the present. Yet others represent friends in your future.
As the flowers move closer together, you feel the love energy of each one. Each blossom spins and moves with the others. There is no danger.
As you realize they represent your friends and family, you are excited to come together spiritually.
As the flowers become closer, the energy absorbs and shares healing and forgiveness. Light and love seem to be everywhere.
While you move together in a spiritual dance, the music comes from everywhere, and nowhere, all at once.
As you and your friends join together, the flowers come together to make a beautiful bouquet.
Barriers drop. Everyone joins together – accepting each as you are. Love and acceptance are important here. Breathe in and out this powerful elixir of love, acceptance and forgiveness.
Fear disappears on this spiritual place and time. The music and the colors and the moment heal.
At this healing moment, the flowers and the music and the colors begin to slowly float and connect.
You feel at one with your friends from the past, the present, and the future. Allow this moment to slow – allow everyone to connect with this moment.
Breathe in this moment. Allow it to honor you and all your friends.
Sit with your friends now. It is time to honor your past, your present, and your future. See your friends in the connections as a beautiful, multi-colored, multi-textured arrangement of flowers.
Enjoy this moment.
Honor the events and spirituality of your past, present, and future. You deserve the beauty in this moment.
When you think about it, you and your higher power are reflected in your friends. You give yourself permission to be loved and healed. When this happens, you can feel comfortable knowing that you will never be alone.
Honor your higher power in this moment. It is a special gift for you to enjoy.
When it is time to return to the present, know that you can return to commune with your friends whenever you want.
