Ready for the Next Big Step
When you’re ready for the next big step, your personal, professional, and spiritual selves work together.
As this happens, you can see your rewards start to travel in. Look for them! Do this because you need to recognize the progress you’ve made.
Your startup efforts and energy create situations that moves you forward. This can lead to success. You may also have a sense of adventure. It’s time to explore the options that are opening up for you. This is a result of your planning.
Prioritize your goals. This helps you visualize your successful life.
Don’t be mistaken. There is still much work to do. And, there’s a lot to learn because your successes need some new skills you may not yet be comfortable with.
Meanwhile, search for new clients, new relationships, and that lucky break. Your activities and energies bring them.
As you notice what is ahead for you, you can watch what experiences wait ahead.
Pay attention to your future self.
When you set your goals, you can see your objective. You navigate your way forward. Think of anything in your way simply as a surprise or detour. You are on your way!
Focus on your authentic self. Following this lead will support your highest good. Your spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental self can align.
Because you are authentic, you can live and heal your best life.
DO THIS: Spend some time encouraging your creativity. You’ve set your goals. Now, you approach your journey authentically. Use your creative energy to incorporate your feelings on your way to support your spiritual and business activities.
Your writing, drawing, storytelling skills keep yourself open to new opportunities that show up.
MEDITATION:
Choose a quiet and safe space. Sit in a comfortable chair as you focus your attention and awareness on your breathing.
Follow your breath as it enters your body, fills up your lungs, and then leaves your body.
Become aware of your breath as it relaxes your mind and body. Each inhale and exhale releases stress. Tension leaves your body. Continue this comfortable inbreathing and outbreathing for several minutes.
PAUSE
When you are peaceful and relaxed, become aware of the focus and energy you have to set your goals and move forward in your life.
PAUSE
You understand now that you can follow your own path with a clear mind. You know what is right for you.
Let the tension continue to melt away as this understanding anchors, changing how you see yourself.
PAUSE
You take a moment to experience self-love and the potential to create and achieve your future goals.
PAUSE for a moment to allow a sense of peace, acceptance, and grounding to enter your self.
You return now to your intake and release of your breath. You feel deeply relaxed on all levels. Bring your awareness to the present.
Slowly open your eyes. Feel the inner calm and understanding you’ve gained in this meditation.
You know that it is time to return to your daily activities. You also know that you can return to this meditation any time. You know that you can focus on whatever affirmations will benefit you most.
PAUSE for a minute for integration.
Gently and slowly move your muscles. Return to your day with inner calm and understanding.

What Lights Your Fire?
Take a peek at your potential. When you ponder your 5-year plan, you’re taking the slow train ride into the future.
You can enjoy the ride a little better when you explore your options.
Let yourself respond to whatever sparks your curiosity and attention.
As this happens, notice how you feel about the attraction, the unknown challenge. Leaving your comfort zone allows you to welcome adventures and opportunities.
DO THIS:
What are some ethics and morals you want to take with you on your journey? What are some strengths you’ll need? What are your gifts? How can you advocate for more than yourself?
MEDITATION
Begin this meditation by arranging yourself in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and focus on your breath as you follow your breath in and out of your nostrils. With each exhalation, your body becomes more relaxed.
As you open your eyes, you find yourself in a quiet, discreet garden. You are seated on a comfortable bench in this garden. The sky today is a beautiful blue with a few puffy clouds drifting overhead.
A wise being is walking up to you. This is your future self being introducing herself to you as your future. You have a conversation with your future self, learning from the life experiences and wisdom. Your future self shows you a picture of the future with the colors, sounds, smells, and tastes.
Your future self reaches out to you and you sit down together. Your future self holds you. You feel the wisdom, power, love, and forgiveness of yourself in the present and the future.
After a few moments, your future self returns to the future time and space.
You think for a moment about things you experienced in this meditation. You become aware of who you are now and in the future.
You realize you can return to this garden and your future self at anytime you want.
You are aware once more of your breath. You are fully present, refreshed, relaxed and in the here and now.
You gently move your muscles with small movements.

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.
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.
you manifested this moment. This is your own success story.
DO THIS:
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.

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.
It is time for this meditation to end now. Notice how you feel. What do you see? How do you hear the sounds around you?
As you take a final inbreath, know that you can return to this space anytime you need a healing recharge.
