 <\/p>\n

Seriously, are you getting enough rest?\u00a0 Sometimes, getting to the heart of the matter needs rest.<\/p>\n

Frankly, I don’t know anybody who will admit to getting enough rest.\u00a0\u00a0Actually, that’s okay.\u00a0 At least, they aren’t lying.<\/p>\n

The thing is…when we rest, we recuperate, recover, and heal.\u00a0 Right now, we’re coming off of a three-year stress-a-thon.\u00a0 For some of us, this was a nightmare that didn’t end.<\/p>\n

A story in the local newspaper tells me that Biden is about to declare the end of the Pandemic.\u00a0\u00a0HURRAH!\u00a0 That’s wonderful.\u00a0 But what about the fallout?<\/p>\n

Millions died of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

School closings, masks, and vaccines upended and disturbed our children’s education, possibly permanently.<\/p>\n

Careers and employment situations changed.\u00a0 Work will never be the same again.\u00a0 For some of us, employment was then, and is now, a horror and nightmare we may never recuperate from.<\/p>\n

We watched a black man die as an officer kept a knee on his neck for nine minutes while he cried out he could not breathe.<\/p>\n

Social isolation changed our culture, maybe long term or forever. Some of us are unable to leave their homes yet.\u00a0 Others of us experienced loneliness, distance, and abandonment.<\/p>\n

For many, this pandemic brought heartbreak, pain, sorrow, and loss.\u00a0 Truths we held strong were changed or lost.\u00a0 Our emotions are raw and we need healing.<\/p>\n

The pandemic turned our emotional world upside down and inside out.<\/p>\n

During this time, political division drove apart families, religious communities, and committees.<\/p>\n

School shootings and mass shootings occurred seemingly every week.\u00a0 They continue.<\/p>\n

Finally, we watched tanks and planes attacking Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Has the time come for you to rest up and recuperate after the past few years?<\/p>\n

Are you ready?\u00a0 Frankly, several people I know aren’t.\u00a0 They are not yet prepared to leave the safe space they created during the ordeal.<\/p>\n

Your soul will tell you whether you are ready, not ready, or whether you are somewhere else in between.<\/p>\n

If you are not yet ready to move forward, you have received a sign that you still need to recuperate and contemplate.\u00a0 A message for you may be to examine your options further.\u00a0 Meditating on your situation a bit longer may be a good path for you right now.<\/p>\n

Now is not a good time for you to rush to a decision.<\/p>\n

Now is a good time to schedule some regular reflexology and Reiki sessions.\u00a0 When you make your appointments for these sessions, think clearly about your intentions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You may want to select a special intention for each session.\u00a0 Or, you may want to set one intention for all the sessions.\u00a0 Either way, use these sessions as a platform to quiet your mind and give yourself permission to explore your possibilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ultimately, you will explore peace and healing.<\/p>\n

You may also want to choose a day in which you do nothing at all.\u00a0 Sit around.\u00a0 Catch up on your sleep.\u00a0 Drink some calming tea or water. This can be a day of spiritual convalescence.<\/p>\n

.Do you feel that the storm is over and the air is clear for you?\u00a0 Do you feel your wounds are beginning to heal?<\/p>\n

This is a good time to assess the damage and move on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do you feel you are not ready to move on.\u00a0 Was the experience too painful?\u00a0 Are you afraid that moving on will hurt even more?<\/p>\n

Take some deep, cleansing breaths and send yourself love – as much love as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If if seems comfortable for you, visualize yourself back in action.\u00a0 See your life getting busy again.\u00a0 You’ll know you are ready to move forward when You’re ready to get back into the world.<\/p>\n
