Self-Care: Choose You
Are you fried?
Have you nothing left to give?
Does your energetic body (which usually feels wondrous and fluffy), feel dried and flat like crushed cotton candy?
It doesn’t have to be that way.
There’s more in your soul – you just can’t find it right now because you’re running on empty.
It’s time to choose YOU – your whole you. Honor your entire body – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic.
Your balanced whole body is ready for you to claim it. It’s waiting. Everything is connected. Nothing operates independently. Authentic balance comes from within and is different for everyone.
Your entire body has a shaggy footprint which includes everything – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic.
This includes your memories also. Include your muscle memories, your mental memories, your past-life memories, your emotional memories – everything.
When you discuss caring for your body, include diet, exercise, sleep. Include choices, thought patterns, stress management, drugs.
Include meditation on your balance journey. Focus on experiencing your self – your whole, entire self, which wants you to get to know it better.
Read this meditation as often as you want. Allow your self to enjoy it.
Find a quiet, safe, and comfortable place to sit where you won’t be interrupted for a few minutes or so. Allow your body to be supported by the chair, bed, or floor you have chosen.
Drink a glass of water.
Quiet your mind and check in with your self.
When thoughts enter your mind, encourage them to comfortably come and go.
Notice how you breathe for the moment. Are your breaths shallow or deep? It doesn’t matter, really. Just notice your breath. – Notice how each each breath brings in a pure white light.
This white light is perfect and healing. It will stay with you. It’s job is to heal and nurture.
This white light knows where the need is greatest. It knows where to go.
As you breathe in, feel the healing energy riding on each breath. Feel this energy spreading out from your lungs to every artery and vein in your body. This white light is healing and regenerating every cell in your entire body.
Now, take a deep breath. Inhale and feel yourself relaxing. Notice whether you are becoming quiet. Are you becoming still?
Where is your body tight?
What’s happening with your energy level? Continue breathing in and out. Allow your self to become relaxed, still.
Now, move your hands along your body, beginning at the crown of your your head. Hold your hands several inches above your body. What do you feel as you move your hands along your body? Heat. Cool. Quickly moving energy. Slowly moving energy. Stuck energy.
Is something stressing you? What does this smell like? How does it feel? Do you hear stress? Where does this stress feel comfortable?
How do your senses react to your stress. What do you feel as you move your hands along your body?
(You can repeat this meditation many times as your hands become comfortable with what they find.)
When you notice a stressed or stuck area of energy, communicate with this particular place using nurturing feelings, and thoughts.
Speak directly with this stressed place. Tell this place that you love it, that you want it to be perfect.
Breathe in an extra breath of white light and focus it directly on the stressed place.
This process of sending white light to stress points and communicating with specific points using nurturing feelings and thoughts changes much. When you do this, you encourage your total self to release blockages, erace mistakes, and create perfect images.
See your self in perfection. Your breaths, sending white light to your whole body, release feelings of health, alertness, and relaxation.
Etch this feeling in your mind now so you can return to this feeling whenever you want.
It is time to return to your room now. Gently bring your awareness back to your day. Remember that you can return to this place any time you want.

Taking Charge of Your Health to Make a New Life
Take charge of your health.
An important decision you make for yourself, it’s one I celebrate! I want us all to become more conscious of ourselves and take charge of our own health.
Some of us reach this decision because of an event: injuries resulting from an accident or diseases experienced.
Some of us reach this decision because of experiences lived during the Pandemic.
And, some of us mature into this decision as an attitude toward our health.
Whatever the catalyst, deciding to be in charge of your health shifts your life’s path. It’s a reason to rejoice.
But now, what are you going to do about it?
Sometimes people come to my table after deciding to be in charge of their health. The idea is to give up the physician and replace her with a reflexologist. Frankly, this is not always the best decision.
When this happens, you are simply trading one coat for another. And, when this happens, you should be putting yourself in charge, not a reflexologist or acupuncturist or herbalist.
I have been in charge of my health care for years and rely on the training and wisdom of a nurse practitioner. Not only do I seek information and advice from her regularly, I tap into her information bank with every visit. She does blood tests. She schedules MRIs or x-rays or other tests.
She offers information, advice, and wisdom at every office visit.
And, certainly, if you are putting yourself in charge, you may find yourself going to a physician or reflexologist or acupuncturist or herbalist as often (or even more often) than before.
So, then what do you do?
BUILD A HEALTH CARE SUPPORT TEAM
This is a group of professionals who support you in your search for lifelong good health.
My team includes, among other specialists, a Reiki practitioner, a reflexologist, a massage therapist, a physical therapist, a yoga teacher, a podiatrist, a dentist, a periodontist, an allergist, a dermatologist, a sleep specialist, a fitness expert. a pharmacist.
I think you are getting the picture here.
LEARN HOW YOUR BODY WORKS
Buy some anatomy and physiology books. You are embarking on a new and wonderous journey!
Don’t be overwhelmed. Anatomy and physiology books come in all sizes and stripes. They even come in coloring books. Try them all. Especially the coloring books.
You may even want to take a class or two.
You’ll learn much.
While you travel on this wonderful spiritual journey, you are now on a path to learn things about yourself that you never even knew you might need to know.
Definitely use the skills of a reflexologist or reiki practitioner regularly. Weekly appointments are preferred.
Homeostasis opens many doors!
EAT THE BEST FOOD YOU CAN BUY
An important step to take when you manage your own health is to eat real food. A cornerstone of good health is the proper diet. There are many, many diets out there. Until you feel certain that you are eating the correct diet for you, rely on foods which have no additives, preservatives, colors, etc.
I’m sure you understand what it means to eat real food.
I’m certain that when you do finally feel you are eating the correct foods for your body, you will rely on real food.
MOVE
Your body was made to move. When you manage your own health, you know how important this is.
AND ON AND ON AND ON
The bottom line is that, as you take charge of your health care, you will develop resources and you will probably never stop learning.
