Slow Down and Heal
When was the last time you allowed yourself to truly, completely rest and recuperate?
You need a deep healing rest.
For now, it is time for reclusion or retreat. Find a quiet space and seek solitude.
A question arises: What needs to heal? How much time will it take?
This isn’t just an ordinary rest. This rest involves your body, your mind, and your spirit.
Slow down. Take time to transform and transmute your experiences as you renew. And, as you renew your body, mind, and spirit, encourage those around you to participate in this renewal.
Is this a time for faith? Deep healing and new beginnings rely on faith for unexpected outcomes.
This is a time for deep rest.
Remember, rest is a birthright.
DO THIS
Do you practice Reiki? Do you receive Reiki? Do you meditate? Or…Do you have a mindfulness practice?
If not, try something easy and accessible. Choosing Reiki or meditation is a way of choosing yourself.
MEDITATE
Sit down and relax. light a candle. Burn incense. Listen to calming music. If you have one, hold a crystal or rock.
You need a private and safe space to focus your breathing. After each complete inbreath and out breath, let there be a moment to let yourself just be. Breathe deeply from your abdomen to let quiet and peace seep in.
This is a time to completely slow down and relax.
You notice that you are holding a small amethyst crystal in one hand. It begins to grow warmer in your hand. The power of this crystal radiates out into your hands, up through your arms, into your shoulders, and, finally, into each body part.
As it radiates its healing warmth, you feel comfortable and safe. After a few moments you feel the full power of the violet flame in this crystal. You feel this flame purifying, forgiving, healing, and transmuting every cell of your physical, mental, emotional, and energetic body.
You visualize it traveling through your emotions, your thoughts, and your memories. You notice it cleansing any recurring patterns of negativity in your complete body.
As this happens, you release negativity into the flame of the candle. You see it transformed into light. The negativity is being consumed.
You are lighter now. You feel this moment holds your world in divine order.
You accept this perfection in deep gratitude.
You rest in this healing moment. You feel safe. You say to yourself: “I love and accept myself just the way I am. I belong in this peace.”
You realize it’s time to return to the outside world. You know that you can return to this space any time you want.
You thank your crystal for its healing energy. You slowly shake your arms and legs now.
You gently return to the world – healed. You can share your peace and calm with others now.

One Thing that Works When You are in an Anxiety Bubble
It seems, these days, that everyone I encounter is in an anxiety bubble.
At the Mower’s Meadow Flea Market Saturday, people were slowly walking through the market not even seeming to notice the booths they were walking by.
They didn’t even seem to even know that Woodstock was in the midst of a gorgeous day.
Frankly, I’m not surprised. All we have to do is glance at the news on the phone – or on the computer – or on the TV. None of us can escape current events. Even my friend Annie, who knows how to block out all kinds of current events, can’t get away from this.
Now is a moment to schedule a Reiki or Reflexology appointment. Scheduling several sessions over the next few weeks is ideal but reality permits us this healing based on what we can do. One session is certainly better than nothing.
Now. It’s time to rely on inner resources for peace.
It is time to be alone.
Just like that reflexology session you need, it may be you need to be alone and can’t get the time. Truthfully, maybe you are terrified to be alone.
Whatever the situation, it’s time to feed your mind, your body, your soul. You need to do this so your inner self can do its job properly.
Now is a good opportunity to follow in the footsteps of a Hermit as you take a short time off from the world so your inner and outer selves can meet, collaborate, and support you in the ways you need.
The Hermit is a card in the Tarot. The Hermit is an archetype. Well, you may not have the luxury of a neighborhood card reader. Really, the Hermit can become a player in your story without a Tarot spread.
Were you ever in a situation where contemplation and soul-searching helped you come to an authentic decision? Were you able to keep a mental/spiritual space to mull over your thoughts and situation without interference?
When you are in such a situation, you know this on some level: a truth is waiting for you.
Are you there now? Is life calling for a time-out to reset things. Use this time-out to think, rest, read, meditate, pray, focus on the important issues.
Sometimes you can get away. Sometimes this getaway is a mental time out in your living room or a bench in a park or a walk through the flea market.
After all, your light is your light. Your path is your path. You need to work things out on your own.
You’ll feel better and calmer after its over.
Trusting in the change is basic. All things change when the time is right. With the Hermit, your inner voice will speak out to connect you to your wisdom.
Consider your long term aims and ambitions.
We all travel alone – each on our own vision quest. This is how we find humility and peace. Withdrawing from the hustle and bustle of the everyday world, we regain a perspective which includes the wisdom of silent introspection.
Enjoy this peace.
Solitude and soul-searching are the rules of the day. When you are finally alone, you can be free of the external. You have a chance to process what you’ve learned so far.
Enlightenment is on the way!
