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

When someone inflicts pain, it changes you deeply.\u00a0 It creates a cellular memory.<\/p>\n

At times, your body responds to this memory as if the event were happening now.<\/p>\n

Knowing sorrow is to experience it.\u00a0 The more experience you have with it, the more you know it – inside and out.\u00a0 Some of this is internal.<\/p>\n

When you know it, you are getting to the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n

What to do?<\/p>\n

Now is a time to grow.\u00a0 Evolution does not come skating in.<\/p>\n

No sirree.\u00a0 It rides in on despair and loneliness.<\/p>\n

It’s time to go in another direction so you can be stronger – more resilient.\u00a0 You are transformed.<\/p>\n

You will evolve!<\/p>\n

How?<\/p>\n

Dance – Scream – Roll around on the floor – Write – Beat Drums – Journal – Draw pictures –\u00a0 Run – Change jobs – Move away – Apologize<\/p>\n

DO THIS:<\/p>\n

Move on<\/p>\n

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

MEDITATION:<\/p>\n

This meditation focuses on making your coping easier and more effective if you are under severe stress.<\/p>\n

Find a comfortable and safe place to sit.\u00a0 Select a place where you will not be disturbed.\u00a0 When you are in this safety zone, settle into the quiet where you can feel positive and relaxed.\u00a0 This is your sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Turn on some healing music.\u00a0 Light a candle.\u00a0 Fire up some incense.\u00a0 Do whatever makes you feel calmer.\u00a0 You may enjoy lighting a Himalayan salt lamp.<\/p>\n

Now get comfortable.\u00a0 You may prefer a chair or a mat on the floor; whatever works best for you.<\/p>\n

Breathe slowly, calmly and deeply.\u00a0 \u00a0Breathe deeply – into your heart.\u00a0 Breathe into those places needing healing.\u00a0 Breathe healing and positive energies into your deepest self.<\/p>\n

As you exhale, release negativity, stress, fear, and anything that needs to go.<\/p>\n

Develop a pattern:\u00a0 breathe out to release negativity and pain.<\/p>\n

Breathe in deeply as you receive the wisdom of your heart and your light.\u00a0 Breathe the wisdom of your being.<\/p>\n

Let this breath pattern lead you to an inner sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Open your eyes to find yourself in a tranquil place where you feel secure and strong. Your surroundings make you feel comfortable.\u00a0 Notice the details of this space.<\/p>\n

Notice what this space is like.\u00a0 What does it look like?\u00a0 What is the temperature in this space?<\/p>\n

Notice everything.\u00a0 Include the smells, noises, colors, textures, and shapes of this space. Examine everything about this space.<\/p>\n

Possibly this space is from your past.\u00a0 Possibly it is one you are creating for your own special healing needs.<\/p>\n

Whatever this space, you are in control of this sanctuary.\u00a0 Take time now to create this place just for you and your healing needs.<\/p>\n

Notice the areas and\u00a0 objects that represent safety, security, and peace.\u00a0 This space is your refuge.\u00a0 Explore it now. Immerse yourself in this sanctuary, feeling its protection and beauty.<\/p>\n

Feel the protection this space offers you.<\/p>\n

It is time for you to return to your day now.\u00a0 As your breathing brings you to now, carry the safety and calm of your sanctuary with you.<\/p>\n

Know that you can return to this space whenever you choose.<\/p>\n

Tune into your breathing now.<\/p>\n

Peace be with you.<\/p>\n
