Lift Yourself Up: 6 Things That Work
Sometimes, we’re aware of life’s impacts when they happen. Other times, they sneak up on us. We wake up and realize things haven’t been “right” for a while or even a long time.
Life is many things to many different people. Over time, things change. The changes can come daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or even more slowly.
However that is for you, when you realize things aren’t what you consider ideal – or even acceptable – it’s time to lift yourself up.
This is a good opportunity to spend energy connecting with your community. You may find that your community is experiencing adjustments as well as yourself. Who are you in this community? Are you comfortable with your place here?
The important thing is to connect with people who lift you up. You find them when you connect with your community – through friends, groups, and extended families.
Check in with those who are important to you.
Take a deep breath and a break. Self-care activities such as meditation and enough sleep can be particularly healing now. (Meditation always comes up first on the self-care list. However, it is not popular with everyone. The point is to choose something that works for you.)
Returning to body work habits such as reflexology or Reiki therapy can be particularly appreciated now. While you’re focusing on these new (or renewed) connections, schedule extra sessions to keep you grounded and steady.
This is also a time to pick up a new skill through classes, books, or other ways of learning.
Finally, show up for others in positive ways which honors them. This makes you a conduit for healing in ways you may not have thought of before.
Being a conduit for healing is a basic tenet of self-healing. Being a conduit does not require that you change your story or anyone else’s.
Being a conduit for healing does not really offer therapy even. Simply being there and showing up is enough.

Third Eye Chakra Meditation
A third eye chakra meditation helps you connect with your 7th chakra to access the wisdom it holds for you.
Go to a place where you feel safe. Get comfortable. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Continue to breathe slowly and deeply.
As you breathe, let each exhale release tensions and tightness. As you continue breathing, feel warm relaxation flowing throughout your body.
Enjoy this feeling of relaxation and comfort. Now, visit your senses on a spiritual level.
For a moment, bring to mind a sunrise, a sunset, a tree shading a meadow beneath it. See your favorite flower.
Listen to the rain on a window. Hear a dog barking in the distance. Hear a car honking.
Smell a freshly baked cookie. Experience a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Freshly mown grass.
Continue now, to choose your own selection of sensory experiences which you rely on to assist you as you experience your world spiritually.
After a few more sensory experiences, you are in a calmer state.
Ask your third eye chakra what it needs now.
While waiting for a response from your chakra, take a few more calming and relaxing breaths.
You may receive your desired feedback now. It may come as a word, a sound, a color, a song, an animal, or a feeling of awareness..
If you receive this feedback now, think about what came to you. How do you feel about this information?
What is a good thing to do to act on this information? (if, indeed, you need to act) It may be that this is simply something for you to know.
If you do not receive feedback now, don’t worry! It will come to you when the time is right.
It is now time to return to your space in an awake, aware state. Take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and gently open your eyes.
If you have time, this is a good opportunity to reflect on your experience.
Return to this meditation whenever you feel comfortable doing so.
Drink fresh, cool water to keep yourself hydrated.
