 <\/p>\n

You have a long-standing problem that you can no longer ignore.<\/p>\n

Is the story finished?<\/p>\n

Not Yet.<\/p>\n

When will it end?<\/p>\n

Until it’s over, you wake up in the middle of the night, haunted.<\/p>\n

What is real and what is not?<\/p>\n

Are you taking on the world’s troubles? Whether or not this is your case, you are a victim of your thoughts.<\/p>\n

If anxiety, depression, trauma, and fear are trying to take control, it’s time to claim your energy.\u00a0 The challenge is to understand it.\u00a0 The goal is to make sense of the situation.<\/p>\n

One way is to let go of the familiar and the safe.\u00a0 However life works, there isn’t much comfort here.\u00a0 You are overwhelmed, with too much to do.<\/p>\n

Focus on all the ways you’re safe and cared for.<\/p>\n

Can you see your worries diminish and disappear?\u00a0 Imagine happy endings.<\/p>\n

DO THIS<\/p>\n

This is a perfect opportunity to book a Reiki or Reflexology session.\u00a0 Both of these modalities promote homeostasis, something we all need.<\/p>\n

MEDITATION<\/p>\n

You are preparing for bed and sleep.\u00a0 Feel the pillow under your head.\u00a0 Feel the texture of your favorite sheets on your bed.\u00a0 Your blankets and covers enfold you and make you feel comfortable.\u00a0 Your mattress is perfect.<\/p>\n

The air in your room is perfect.\u00a0You breathe evenly, smoothly, and deeply.\u00a0 Each inbreath encourages you to sink deeper into the covers.\u00a0 You rest more deeply and feel peace surrounding you.<\/p>\n

As you relax, you find yourself sitting on a comfortable bench in a secluded park.\u00a0 You notice the sky and see the clouds.\u00a0 A deep evening sky approaches the area.<\/p>\n

There is no one around.\u00a0 The evening is coming.\u00a0 Everyone has left this part of the park.\u00a0 A quiet breeze blows around you.<\/p>\n

You hear the gentle sounds of evening birds in the area.<\/p>\n

You sink into your covers, floating into dreams and a deep restful sleep.<\/p>\n

As you drift into sleep, you are aware of sounds in the room around you while, at the same time, you accept sleep.<\/p>\n

You are aware of the darkness of your room.\u00a0 You embrace the comfort and safety you experience now.<\/p>\n

You release the concerns, cares, and worries of the day.\u00a0 This restores your peace and calm.<\/p>\n

You accept a deep and restful sleep.\u00a0 This allows you to wake feeling relaxed, refreshed, alert, and prepared to experience a positive day.<\/p>\n
