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.

Your Third Chakra – Inner Strength and Wisdom
The solar plexus chakra gets its power from its location. It is the third chakra in a line just above the first and second chakras and is located about 2 inches above your navel.
The location of this chakra is important because this is where the abdominal brain is located. Your abdominal brain is a communication hub.
If you are dealing with fear, anxiety, or other negativity, take comfort in the knowledge that your solar plexus chakra releases a yellow-gold light. This power comes to your aid when you feel insulted, cheated, or criticized.
Speak to your solar plexus chakra when you are threaghtened and give it support as it does its work filling you with confidence and respect.
For me, the solar plexus chakra is not quite as heavy as the first chakra but certainly heavier than the heart or throat chakra.
Its distinctive yellow-orange color gives it strength and power. To become closer to your solar plexus chakra, select a stone and carry it with you for several days.
The choices are many but yellow citrine, yellow amber, yellow jade will get you started. There are many stones to choose from – just stick with the yellows. One that attracts me (which is not yellow) is orange tourmaline.
When I was a young woman, I was attracted to a golden topaz. I know now that it offered me strength which I needed.
Your solar plexus chakra will help you achieve your goals when it aligns with your other chakras. An aligned solar plexus chakra radiates empowerment, confidence, and ability.
For many people, the solar plexus chakra is the easiest one to connect because it reveals itself to you more easily than the others. We can all feel the “butterflies” in our solar plexus chakra.
If you are working on your solar plexus chakra, good times for meditation or essential oil blending include the full moon and the summer solstice. You can also work with your solar plexus on any sunny day between 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm.
To empower your soul, spend a 10-15 minutes soaking up the rays of the sun.
A fun exercise is to make an asfidity bag focusing on your solar plexus chakra.
TO MAKE YOUR ASFIDITY BAG
The first step to make your bag is to select items to include in it: a favorite cloth which is about 4″ square, and a couple of stones which have meaning to you. You’ll need some thread to close the bag up.
Include some favorite herbs. Good choices for your solar plexus chakra include lemon, mint, turmeric, or any plant which has a special meaning for you.
You may want to include bits of sand, a seashell, a small photo or other drawing which has meaning for you. Add anything which you feel is appropriate. Include things which feel warm, comforting, beautiful. You may be seeking inspiration and the manifestation of strength and power.
After you make your asfidity bag, wear it around your neck or keep it close to your body for strength and intuition.
You can also keep it on your personal altar.
Moderation in all things is important for a healthy solar plexus chakra.
Are you interested in fitness? Two things that may appeal to you as you align your solar plexus chakra are yoga and a martial arts practice.
Diseases and health issues involving your solar plexus include diabetes, pancreatitis, ulcers, food disorders, reflux, hypoglycemia, hepatitus, chronic fatigue.
