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.

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.
