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.

One Thing About Reiki and Healing
Since the ’90s, I’ve taught Reiki and Reflexology to students of all ages, sizes, and shapes. I made a conscious effort to let my students fly free, once he or she received the certificates earned. .
Healing is a personal path for a student. Eventually, the learned skills will surface in a way that is best for the universe. Sometimes the surfacing happens quite soon. Other times, it may take years as the student carries the energy around quietly, underground almost – waiting for just the right time. Meanwhile, the healing Reiki energy percolates, hidden below the surface.
Soon after Donald Trump was inaugurated, I put out an extremely quiet call to some Reiki Master Practitioners. “Come over and get your teacher wings.”
A few answered the call. I attuned them all to the Reiki Master Teacher Level and, again, set them loose to do what they felt called to do.
Karen kept in touch. She took her attunement seriously and, throughout the Pandemic, taught and practiced Reiki. Karen worked outdoors throughout this time. She practiced her profession in a park about 2 blocks from her home.
Some days were hot. Others were cold. Nobody seemed to mind.
Now, in these days and times, Karen is ill. She is teaching us all how to prepare for the future when there isn’t much time left on this plane.
She is allowing her students and fellow practitioners the opportunity to offer Reiki. This is a special time for all of us. Her students set up a time: Tuesday afternoons at 3:00.
People drop by her home to see how she’s doing. Some prepare food. Others run errands, etc. Everyone is finding things that need attention. Hospice is in the mix.
Reiki is at the core of this transition. We participate the best way we can.
One thing happening out loud is this: When we learn Reiki or other healing modality, we’re not sure what we’re going to do with our new certificate and skill.
Whatever we do, Reiki meets us where we are. However we use the things we’ve learned, it’s all for the good of the universe.
We are not here to change a story when offering therapy. Instead, we are a conduit for healing. Nothing more.
I am grateful to each and every student I’ve had over the past years. Each of you is an educational experience for me. You have, one and all, given me the highest honor a teacher can receive: Your trust.
Thank you to everyone. Thank you to Karen for allowing us to be with her at this special time.
My first book, “Healer’s Handbook” took 10 years to write. It’s gone out to over 3 dozen countries. I think it needs another edition to highlight End-of-Life Reiki. What do you think?

Concerns, Challenges, and Stress? Change Them With One Challenge Management Technique
We can’t eliminate all of our daily challenges, concerns, and stress. But, we can manage our reactions to them.
Challenge management will make your life easier. You’ll change the way you feel, and the way you act, as you respond to your concerns and stress.
Worries distract and steal your energy.
Through the years, I’ve learned that challenge management can improve your daily life. This encourages you to focus and move toward your goals.
So – what you do is this:
Set aside and schedule time specifically for thinking about your challenges. Name each challenge and examine your emotions surrounding it. Examine how your life would be if things worked out for the best.
Then, get a piece of paper and quickly write about what’s on your mind. Focus on the concerns, challenges, and stresses that are foremost on your mind this very minute. What are your daily distractions?
Don’t worry about the grammar or spelling. You aren’t writing this for someone else. You’re not going to show these words to anyone. Your private thoughts will help you identify and describe your situation.
What is going on in your mind?
Describe your concerns and worries.
To find a possible positive outcome, ask yourself “Where is the peace in all of this?” Focus on an ideal situation. Identify where and how things might improve for you.
Where is the hope?
When you schedule writing sessions where you focus on a positive outcome, you decide where to focus your time and energies.
As this writing exercise shifts your energy to a more positive outcome, you let go of the negativity.
Calm moves into the space that negativity just vacated.
Your mind becomes a powerful tool to create your own life, focusing on you. You can now create your reality from peace and positivity as fears and worries disappear.
Making a habit of this exercise will bring hope and positivity and good change your way.
Making time to listen allows you to embrace your inner wisdom.
As you process your worries, you can support the good things you need.
You may decide what is the best thing you can do for yourself. You may decide it is a good thing to stop hanging onto things that are of no help to you.
At some point, you may feel gratitude.

That One Thing We All Share
When I do my weekly grocery shopping at my local Hannaford, I always get (or try to get) individual cups of plain yogurt. I love the flavor and texture of the store brand. The plain nonfat Greek variety is my favorite! The texture, flavor and the ingredients are perfect. This yogurt has no artificial ingredients. There are no words in the ingredients list that I can’t pronounce or understand.
This product is healthy. Yummy. And, the price is right!
But, getting this yogurt is almost like going on a quest. For starters, it’s on the very top shelf in the refrigerator section. Often, I can’t even find it. I know where it’s supposed to be but I’m not quite tall enough to see up there.
I begin by seeking out an employee who’s a few inches taller. When I can’t find one, I look for a ladder or step stool. Finally, my final option is to find something on a shelf, like a fly swatter, that I can use to push the yogurt I can’t see to the front of the shelf.
Then, finally, I push it out the front and grab the cups and put them in my grocery cart.
By this time, I’m so determined that I clean out the store. I buy every cup of the plain Hannaford’s yogurt I can find.
For me, this situation is a challenge. It’s not about my height. But, it is about my height.
Life is all about limitations. What I can and cannot do. How much can I ignore?
Shopping at the Hannaford’s is especially all about limitations.
Getting to the heart of the matter, life is all about limitations. This is one thing that is true for each and every one of us.
Shifted to the bottom line, limitations are all about acceptance. This is not about being a victim. It IS about doing whatever we need to do to get the job right. Limitations are, literally, a means to an end.
It is also about acceptance. I occupy a space on this planet in my body. This space is mine and mine alone.
This limitation becomes, and is, a meditation.
This space and my body are mine.
Each day, I take a few moments to come back to this.
I pay attention to my breath.
I pay attention to my arms and my legs.
I pay attention to the temperature and smell and texture of the air around me.
I focus on this opportunity to realize that what I need is right in front of me if I’ll only recognize it and pay attention.
I am fully alive in this moment.
After this meditation, I return to the room around me, walk into the kitchen, and have a cup of my favorite Hannaford Yogurt.

Physical Therapy – How to Get the Most from Your PT Session
We go to physical therapy because we want to get to the other side – of whatever the situation is.
Maybe you’ve been in an accident.
Maybe you just realized that your neck won’t move right.
Maybe you just finally looked in the mirror and your left shoulder and your right shoulder don’t match – at all.
Whatever the reason, physical therapy takes a commitment. It means going to two appointments weekly with homework between the sessions.
Some people go to their physical therapy sessions and do their homework and things seem to just go right.
I’ve gone to physical therapy sessions several different times in my life. Each experience impacted my life differently.
In my 40’s, I went to physical therapy, and followed the series of PT sessions up with a fitness club membership which helped me immensely. The physical therapy sessions followed by the regular fitness sessions changed my life for the better. The impact of these physical therapy sessions lasted the better part of a decade.
A couple of decades later, my physical therapy experience was just as positive but the therapy was completely different. I spent a lot of time on the table receiving heat treatments. My back and shoulders loved this attention and appreciated the healing applications I received twice weekly.
Now, with different needs, my current physical therapy experience is different yet again. My body does not want to move so fast. Healing is not so easy this time. I leave each session feeling fatigue and pain. My body needs to rest and restore. It needs attention beyond what is happening at the physical therapist’s office.
It took two sessions for me to realize what was happening. What did I do? I ran for the Reiki therapy!
I’m sharing this with everyone because I’m seeing other people coming away from the physical therapy session who need restorative healing. Some people get this information quickly. Others need a little nudge.
What I’m finding is that the physical therapy session is not completed without a Reiki session to follow up.
Actually, other modalities work well also. Reflexology certainly offers the deep calming needed to end a session totally.
But, really, it doesn’t matter whether you schedule Reiki or Reflexology or massage or ………… Many modalities available will work.
The important thing to know is that when we get physical therapy, the work takes your body “so far”. To get your money’s worth in healing, schedule the Reiki session on the same day if you possibly can – certainly within 36 hours.
Schedule these bodywork sessions think of them as part of your life. They stimulate your body’s own healing processes.
When you combine Reiki or Reflexology or whatever modality works best for you, you will receive more healing for your health care dollars.
If regular Reiki sessions turn out to be a challenge, take some classes and learn to give sessions. That way you can exchange sessions with others.
Ask a friend to join you in a learning adventure. The two of you can learn together and exchange sessions. This is self-care, an important activity which we all need to include in our daily lives.

Eight Ways to Fight the Fear
To be honest, things are becoming more and more confusing as the days go along. Every time I greet a friend or neighbor or anyone, for that matter, she talks to me as if we are all lost.
And, maybe we are.
It’s hard-to-impossible to figure out sometimes where this year is headed. Some of my friends and acquaintances are solving their dilemma by simply not reading papers or watching TV.
Others choose their channels with care, blocking out everything that seems to be problematic.
Still others are becoming information junkies, focusing their lives on a particular channel offering information they can understand and accept.
On the home front, our Woodstock community is undergoing gentrification. We’re all facing the fact that we’re living in a place far removed from the community we chose to live in when we moved here.
And, this situation comes on the heels of the stresses of Covid and everything that went with that.
Our home is hardly recognizable.
And, I haven’t even brought other news: economic, climate change, the election, our local schools – and any other thing you can imagine.
Then, there are all the economic and social changes in our country.
Sometimes, I think that each of us is on our own, private, Yellow Brick Road.
And, that leads me to the whole reason for this blog post: Fear
The Fear is palpable.
It has an odor.
I see it on the street in the way people walk and the way they talk and the way they dress.
There are some things we can do as we make our way forward into a future many of us are having trouble even imagining.
ONE. Speak Your Fear. As soon as you begin to share your fear, it begins to lose its power over you.
TWO. When fear covers you with an invisible tent, practice breathing exercises. Include meditation sessions. Find what works for you and practice it regularly. When this breathing exercise becomes a part of your life, you should be able to find calm which will send the panic running.
THREE. Exercise regularly. Regular exercise slows down the fight-or-flight reflex. The options are open here. Do what you enjoy.
FOUR. Seek out friends you can chat with who will have a calming effect on you. This step has been helpful for me. When I’m upset, I call Carey and we chat. Sometimes she calls me. Over the last few months, I’ve gathered a few friends who call me. We’re an informal support group.
angel with flowers
FIVE. Enjoy Reiki, or other bodywork modality, regularly I’m watching healing groups form in the area. People gather regularly to share and exchange their sessions. I cannot tell you how important these groups are. Peace. Calm. Lower Blood Pressure, Sleep………….
SIX. Get the what-ifs out of your life and your mind. These lists of fears can wreak havoc on your day. And, they will not save your situation. They are a waste of time which will get you nowhere. Instead, focus your energy on things you can manage.
SEVEN. Write something. This can be a memoir, a journal, a diary, a letter to the editor, a note to a friend you haven’t seen in awhile – whatever works for you. If you’ve never written anything before, now is a good time to begin. Don’t worry. Everybody has a first sentence or chapter or essay. I had one. I never wrote anything but my name before 2013. And, now I have 2 blogs and several books – one of which has been purchased by people in over three dozen countries!
When you begin to write, don’t be afraid of a blog. My first 2 blogs certainly kickstarted my career. I bought a book by Nina Amir: “How to Blog a Book”. I read this book and followed Nina Amir’s instructions.
EIGHT Stress and what-ifs are good invitations to develop our spiritual and religious lives. This is a good time to meet fear with a renewed trust in your spiritual and religious beliefs.
Sometimes reality can be downright scary. This week, meet the uncertainty and fear in your life with a renewed calm. Work your way down the list and see what item helps you the most.
And, finally, thank you for reading this blog post!

Good Health is Not That Hard to Achieve. Really.
You and I are constantly bombarded with conflicting information about our health. What’s good. What’s bad. We’re complex beings. Good health involves our bodies physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. You may not agree with all the information on these pages. But, for me, these words resonate with the truth.
For me, good health comes down to 7daily habits:
Not Smoking is Essential.
I put this habit first because it has a tendency to make people angry when they hear about not smoking or read about not smoking. So, I’m just getting it out there in front. That way, you can get over your anger reaction when we move on to the other essential habits which are easier to deal with and much more positive.
But, before we move on I do have one suggestion: Reduce your habit to five cigarettes a day. When you get down to five a day, zero is an easy goal.
Have you tried the gum from the pharmacy?
Is there a smokers support group in your area?
Hypnotherapy? Biofeedback?
Whatever?. Do whatever you have to do to give up the smoking.
Maintain a Healthy Weight.
Losing or gaining weight to reach your ideal weight gets harder with every passing year, so the younger you are when you work on your weight, the easier it is. Weight Watchers or Overeaters Anonymous may be a good option for you. Biofeedback can help.
An interested nutritionist can guide you to your goal and include specific foods contributing to your continued good health at the same time. You’ll get twice the bang for your buck with nutritional guidance. For example, if you need to gain or lose weight, and you have heart health issues, a nutritionist can work on the weight situation along with your heart disease. I don’t know about you, but I love I love to accomplish two things at a time.
Eat Many Fruits and Vegetables.
Wellness gurus teach five servings of fruits and vegetables are a minimum number for a well-nourished person to eat daily. This five-serving recommendation is easy for me to share. It can be fun. I like the idea of thinking about which five fruits and vegetables will be on my plate today. Planning for each day’s selection gives them focus and importance. Planning gives me a chance to experiment a bit. You can do this, too. It’s easier than you think. Choose one new vegetable or fruit each week at your grocery. Take it home and learn about it:
What is it called?
Where is home for this food?
What are some popular ways to cook it?
How should it be stored?
What is the best way to combine it with other foods?
How should it be eaten?
If you discover one new fruit or vegetable weekly, your dietary skills will be vastly different in a year.
Exercise Regularly
The field is open here. Your exercise can be drudgery or fun. Spend as little or as much money as you want. Choose one or two activities to participate in regularly. The point is to stay active throughout your life. Combine exercise with other daily habits. I wear a fitness watch which beeps when I don’t move enough. It also rewards me with a beep when I’ve exceeded my daily goal. I have a job requiring that I stay off my seat and on my feet. I’m making money while exercising a fun bonus!
Avoid Stressors
Stress is a biggie. It plays a part in many health problems. Meditation walks, laughter, sharing, singing, nature bathing, journaling, drawing can help you reduce stress. Make room in your schedule for stress reduction activities.
Note: There are several articles on this subject in earlier posts in this blog. I periodically discuss stress. If you look around on the blog, you’ll find much information.
Include Healing Bodywork in Your Life.
If you’ve never gotten a massage, received Reiki therapy, or other bodywork, schedule a session. Just to learn about it. As time passes, schedule another session with a different healer. Schedule a reflexology session (or other bodywork) to celebrate an event: birthday, anniversary, a good day at work, the Spring Equinox, etc.
.In short, schedule healing bodywork sessions whenever you want. If you end up on a cruise, hang out in the spa instead of the bar.
Over time, you’ll get inspired and book regular sessions. Your body will thank you for the attention! Everything always seems to go better with reflexology!
Support Yourself.
Do something nice for yourself each day. Spend time meditating. Think positive thoughts about yourself. These supportive thoughts are a treat you give yourself. You deserve it!

Let’s Get Back to Basics! Start with Foot Reflexology
Reduced to a basic practice, reflexology works with zone therapy. So, this chart is the one I’m displaying first. If you feel that your life is too complicated for reflexology, try massaging your feet and observing where you feel soreness or sensitivity. Rather than feeling you even need to know how you experience these points, just knowing where they are on your feet is enough.
Foot reflexology sessions relax, balance, detox, and heal your entire body.
Reflexology brings about homeostasis – a body balance that is important for your health.
Reflex areas in your feet correspond to the internal organs.
Note where these points are and then work them over the next few days.
Work your toes to help alleviate headaches,
The ball of your foot relieves tension in your neck and shoulders.
Your foot arch relates to your liver, bowel, and kidneys. Manipulate this area gently, especially if you’ve been burning the candle at both ends.
Massaging the top of your foot induces psychological calm.
Modern reflexology is based on the centuries-old theory of Zone Therapy. The principle is that the energy connection should be free-flowing. An energy blockage will imbalance body parts within that particular zone.
Reflexology sessions work to restore free-flowing energy pathways throughout the body, creating homeostasis. This energetic body balance is essential for your good health.
When our bodies are balanced, things work better:
stress is relieved
the immune system improves
there is relief from pain
circulation improves
bowel movements improve
toxins clear
relaxation is better
In short, the body works better!
Most of us know these things but it’s nice to have a short review occasionally. It’s easier to find time in the daily schedule for a reflexology session if we can remember what the session will actually do for us.
On behalf of healers everywhere, I honor you and thank you for seeking wellness throughout your life.
With blogs, books, classes and sessions, I am not here to change your story. I am here as a conduit for your healing.
“Healer’s Handbook” is available as an ebook or paperback at www.thurmangreco.com
