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.
I hope you’ve had a chance to visit this YouTube channel. “Let’s Live with Thurman Greco is a positive, entertaining series of interviews which I’ve conducted throughout the last 15 or so years. There have been a few intermissions, but not many.
My guests enjoy being on the show and many ask to return. One thing they all have in common: we’ve all met each other in Woodstock, NY.
Join us soon!
Let us know how you like the shows!

Meditation is Self-Care: 3 Ways to Improve Your Meditation Practice
Meditation is one of the best ways I know to deepen your intuition, reduce medical and psychiatric symptoms, and quiet your anxieties,
Three props to improve your meditation practice:
Create a quiet, soothing meditation area. This is, for me, basic.
A bell or chime to open your meditation session is important.
Take a few deep breaths and clear your mind.
Using a timer to let you know that your session is coming to an end is helpful. This timer can a quiet tone or beads which you hold in your hands.
Through the years, I’ve posted meditation articles on this blog. (Find them in the search section).
I’ve also recommended several books:
My favorites are three meditation books written by Larry Moen. They are:
Meditations for Awakening
Meditations for Transformation
Meditations for Healing
Today, in this article, I share a new meditation which I’m calling “A Perfect Place”. In this meditation, you create your own perfect place.
Begin with a few deep breaths to clear your mind.
Wait a moment and then imagine yourself in a perfect place, designed just for you. Look around and ask yourself:
What is around you? Are you inside or outside?
Do you see buildings, mountains, roadways, lakes, streams?
Or, do you see a room with a chair waiting for you? Do you see a meeting hall?
What is the weather like outside? Is it snowing, raining, Or is the sun shining?
Do you see people? Are they beside you? Are they smiling or looking away?
Who are these people? How many are they? What are they doing? Is someone coming over to join you?
Are there any animals? Are they pets? Are they wild animals? How are you connected to them?
What are you doing now? Are you walking along a path? Are you sitting on a bench? Are you in a seat in a theater? Are you alone or with others – humans or animals?
Is this place familiar to you? Do you feel you have ever been here before? Is this space somewhere you have visited in the past? Have you dreamed about it?
How do you feel in this space?
What are you wearing?
Sit for a few moments and let yourself become adjusted to your surroundings. Breathe in the perfect air. Enjoy this perfect place.
You may want to make some notes – or draw a quick sketch even.
Now, check in with yourself – your thoughts, your feelings. What is happening with your inner self?
Now, take one long, last look around. This is your place. It will always be yours. You know that you may return here any time you want.
After a short time, you know it is time to return to your space before your meditation.
You can return to this meditation whenever you want.
Now, take another deep breath and return. Open your eyes gently and slowly and gently move and stretch.
