3 Healing Anchors & Spiritual Weight Loss Over the Holidays
Three healing anchors and spiritual weight loss over the holidays really help the situation. Really.
Welcome to the holidays – December 2023 edition. They come around every year. Are you feeling “burned out” by all the activities, not only in your life, but in the lives of those around you?
There are things you can do – things we can all do:
We know ahead that the holidays are coming – with all their frustrations, confusions, and time crunches.
WEEKLY HEALING SESSIONS
Schedule some weekly healing sessions. If budget is a factor, learn Reiki and exchange sessions with a fellow practitioner.
I always recommend Reiki therapy and reflexology sessions but there are many different modalities to choose from. Whatever you choose – go for it.
You aren’t pampering yourself. You’ll get through the holidays much better with some healing attention to your inner self.
MORNING WAKE-UP CALL
Whatever your wake-up activities, your attitude and outlook are the determining factors. When you go to bed at night, spend a few moments reviewing things you want to do tomorrow. Plan at least one positive activity for each morning.
When you wake up the next morning, review all the positive things to do today – for yourself – for those around you. Plan your successful day when you wake up.
WHEN THINGS GET HECTIC – JUST BREATHE!
Take a deep breath. This will energize and empower you. Taking a deep breath is taking a short time out. Deep breathing means you stop, and take a deep breath inhaling from your stomach. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
When you inhale from your stomach through your nose, your lungs will fill completely with air. Hold this breath for 1 or 2 seconds and then exhale through your mouth.
Repeat.
If you are alone, go for 10 repetitions. If you are in a crowd, 1 repetition can do a lot for you.
LET IT GO
Spend a few moments each day just letting go of negativity. What is holding you back? Let it go.
When you finally learn to release all these negative and less-than-useful events, thoughts, and habits weigh us down.
One thing I love to do is “Cut the Cord”. This is not a new thing and it was not new when I learned it from Helaya Priest.
This is what Helaya Priest taught me to do:
Pay attention to the negative thoughts, events and habits and how they attach to ourselves. They attach with energetic cords. Using your hand, slice the cords one-by-one.
The cut cords can now leave you and your energetic space.
Now, visualize all those thoughts, events, and habits floating away.
This is a good exercise for anything you are releasing. You can also send blessings to go along with the things you are getting rid of.
Now, and this important, take a moment to celebrate. You are releasing much into the universe. These things can no longer drag you down. You are setting yourself free.
Enjoy the sense of lightness you experience when you release anything that holds you back.
Now, see your way ahead through the holidays.

I discovered Archangel Gabriel just a few years ago, in December right before Christmas.
. My Friday show, “Let’s Live with Thurman Greco”, on Woodstock’s educational TV channel 23 needed a guest.
Nobody would come on my show that week. What was I going to do? In desperation, I decided to read the age-old story of the birth of the baby Jesus.
This need for a guest on my Christmas Week show changed my life. How?
Well, for sure I had read and heard the story of the birth of the Baby Jesus throughout my life. As a “cradle Episcopalian” . It was impossible to avoid.
There’s a difference between hearing the story at a religious Christmas service and reading it for a live audience.
Many questions surfaced that evening. And, as I sought answers, I found even more questions.
Then, of course, I actually read the story in a different way because I knew I would be reading it for a live TV audience.
The annunciation came alive for me.
Archangel Gabriel walked up to Mary and changed the world. “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” (Luke 1:30-31).
Then, having changed the future of the world, Archangel Gabriel left her.
Many questions and answers later, the story is now an ebook. The paper version is on its way now.
This story has many characters beyond Archangel Gabriel, Mary, and Jesus. The cast includes Joseph, John the Baptist, and others.

For Self-Care: Visualize a Successful Day
Take a little time each morning visualizing a successful day. These few moments will create a mental picture you can use to create your real-life action throughout your day.
Take a few deep cleansing breaths.
Perhaps you may want to listen to meditation music.
For a few (3-5) minutes, use all of your senses to visualize your dreams and desires coming to life.
End this short meditation with a few more deep breaths.
As you practice this daily visualization, it will become more powerful. The visualization will become bigger, brighter, and louder.
When you have made this morning visualization a habit, you may notice that your visualization becomes more real to your mind.
At the end of each day, write down your observations. Are you feeling more positive? Are more opportunities coming your way? How is your visualization becoming more real?
With these morning success visualizations, you will be on track to achieve the success you visualize.
Support your visualization intention by taking an action each week to help you progress. Your inspired weekly action toward your goal of a successful day will energize you to achieve your goal.

2023 – Appreciate the Good!
We’re entering another new year! 2023 is an opportunity to create a better world. Let us all join together energetically as we focus in the coming weeks on ways we can expand and grow this opportunity.
Begin by sending Reiki into your future.
If you don’t know Reiki, send a meditation message to 2023.
BLESSINGS…
Take this spot on the calendar to celebrate the new year by sending blessings to friends, family, and coworkers. Send love and kindness to everyone. Send blessings to the world!
BE GRATEFUL FOR…
Begin your transition into 2023 with a gratitude list. This list offers endless benefits. When you work on a gratitude list, you’re not going to have room in your heart and mind for things like fear and worry. Instead, you’ll find yourself surrounded with abundance, love, grace, awe, and appreciation.
LET GO OF…
Dwell for a few moments on things you are not happy about and then – release them to the universe. Spiritual housecleaning is a good new year activity. Let go of thoughts, dreams, beliefs, or habits which you know are not positive and do not fit in with your goals for success.
Make a list. Write it out. If you need help, ask the universe for guidance and support.
When you release negativity into the universe, you make space for goodness and love and all things positive.
WHAT DO I WANT?
With this question, you bring positivity into your life. Write down: What do you need? What do you really want? What does your soul need? What positive situations and resources do you need to attract? Why do you want these things?
Now, write out your answers. Write out the things with the most meaning for you. Use as much detail as you want. There are no wrong answers when you write what feels good to you and is practical. You are attracting things in your life which will bring about the greatest good for the universe.
MAKE YOUR DREAMS REAL…
Using all of your senses, envision your dreams coming to life. Spend a few (3-5) minutes meditating on them. Begin your visualization with cleansing breaths. You may even want to include some calming meditation music.
This step may not come easy to you at first. Don’t worry. You’ll get better at your visualizations as time passes. Practice will improve your sessions.
PROGRESS TOWARD YOUR GOAL
Take an action each week that moves you toward your goal. This can be something either big or small. The important thing is that it is moving you on your path toward achievement.
SCRIPT YOUR AFFIRMATION
Compose a power statement which is going to keep you focused on your goal. You want an affirmation to keep you pointed in the right direction and moving along.
Examples include:
I trust my inner guidance.
I rely on my inner wisdom.
I have abundant health.
I speak my truth.
When you have chosen an appropriate affirmation, you can rely on it daily. Reciting your affirmation regularly will keep you focused while it quiets negative thoughts.
