Quick Stress Reducing Tips

Excessive unmanaged stress can and does wreak havoc on the body, mind, and spirit. Running around all day without taking down time not only increases a person’s stress but it can cause illness. I believe that we do have at least fifteen minutes of down time every day for ourselves.

Ask yourself these questions. Why am I taking care of everybody else leaving no time for myself. Why do I run from home, to job, to picking up children, carpooling, arranging children’s social schedules leaving no down time for myself? The answer is you are the last priority on your “to do” list.

We are meant to have down time. Down time gives a person time to think about their life. During down time we ask ourselves questions and we listen for answers. Down time gives us a much needed rest. Having a reasonable amount of quality down time every day written down in a Day Timers just like you would write down an important meeting on the calendar, is a must for your health and for your well-being. Without it you run the risk of increasing your stress.

Quick stress reducing tips.
Breathing- Close your eyes. Gently, put your attention on your breath. Mentally, follow the air in through your nose and down your throat warming your body. Exhale slowly. When your mind wanders, bring your attention back to your breath. Do this anytime, at your desk, at home for 1-3 minutes. Then relax naturally.

Meditation-Close your eyes. Breathe. Follow the breath, inhaling, exhaling, slowly, telling yourself to relax. Let the word “Relax,” come into your mind. The word Relax will drift out of your mind and in again. Effortlessly say Relax, Release. Relax, Release. Relax, Release. Meditate for 15 minutes to 20 minutes one time a day. Slowly, bring yourself out of meditation taking from 3-5 minutes.

A Progressive Relaxation-Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Begin breathing, inhaling, exhaling, gently and with awareness. Begin with the bottom of your feet. Tighten, and then relax your feet. Move your attention up your body to your legs, belly, buttocks, neck, shoulders, arms, face, gently tightening, holding for a few seconds, and then releasing. Sit quietly. Take from 3-5 minutes, and slowly open your eyes.

Love, Healing, Light and Many Blessings.

Healing Crisis-Take Charge of your Life!

Whenever I go into a healing crisis, my natural default mode is panic. Then, I mobilize all of my energy, and begin a rigorous self-help detox program, move the stressors out of my life (promising to be more vigilant to keep them away) and before I know it, I feel more in control. In my life, nothing makes me feel more out of balance then a health issue. Yet, every health crisis always opens new doors. I wish it could be another way like- new doors open without the health crisis. I tell myself that it is definitely in my astrological chart; natal Saturn in Leo on the 7th house cusp now retrograde for the rest of my life in the sixth house of health. Well, to me, a person who loves astrology knows that says it all. So when transiting Saturn in Scorpio squared my natal Saturn in Leo-voila health crisis-and like always, with it a promise of a new door opening. A new and very exciting door! The new door for me is a vigilant program of juicing two times a day, (all organic, kale, carrots, apple, celery, fresh ginger root and garlic) raw foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, prayer three times a day, meditation two times a day. Walking, swimming, and a week in Florida coming up at the Hippocrates Health Institute. I can’t wait. Here’s what I get to look forward to:
1-Lectures on health and healing and alternative modalities by leaders in the field (my field)

 2-Superior nutrition through a diet of organically grown, enzyme rich, raw, life-giving foods.

 3-Detoxification

 4-Colonics

 5-Far infrared saunas and steam room

 6-Ozone pools with dead-sea salts and Jacuzzi

 7-Massages

 8-Bio-energy treatments

 9-Counseling

 10-Stress evaluation

 So my question to myself is this; why do I wait to do these things? Why do I need a health crisis to wake me up? Anyway, that’s history. From now I pledge to do more of this every week and to go down to West Palm Beach Florida to Hippocrates at least one time a year!

Love, Healing, Light and many Blessings.

What happens on the other side after we die?

If you believe in reincarnation you might wonder what you do in-between incarnations-while waiting for your next assignment, so to speak, on the other-side. What happens on the other side after we die? We continue to study and learn in the Halls of Learning and libraries and schools. There are places to advance musical studies, art work, or healing work. There is everything on the other-side that there is on this side. If you helped people when you were in this incarnation, you will be drawn to helping people after you die. Life, after death, continues on. Of course we miss our loved ones and they miss us. Loss of a loved one cannot be minimized. During the time of loss, the grief process is real and very painful. But life continues on. Here’s a dream I had about my husband a few days after he died.

In the dream, he and I were walking together on a pier. I was by his side. He looked healthy like he did when we were away together on a trip. He was wearing his black jacket and red baseball cap. I said to him, “You are healthy and healed. You look great, amazing. We have to tell people, the doctors. What did it? What finally healed you?” I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. When he was sick, he had been treated both traditionally and holistically. I wondered what had finally cured him. The dream was real. My husband was his usually quiet grounded self. He said to me, “I am healed. I am here on the other side and I am healed.” I could not get over it! I said to him, “I am really with you and you are really healed. This is so real that there is no reason to even think this is a dream! Matter to fact,” I said to him in the dream, “I am going to try and wake-up.” In my mind I was absolutely certain that I would not wake-up. I was with my husband and we were walking together. To test this reality, I shook myself and woke-up.

Dreams are portals to inner worlds. When we sleep at night we take a journey. We meet spiritual beings of Light, our guides, and healers who have crossed over and who help us. We continue to grow and learn even at night in our dreams.

If you want to catch a dream, become intentional. Put a dream journal by your bed. Ask a question you want an answer to. Write down any information, images, or direction you have received in the dream. The inner portals through dreams are a wonderful way to help solve problems and make contact with people on the other side.

Night Time Dreams Guide Your Life

Dreams have always guided my life. If you want information while you sleep, set your intention and pay attention to your dreams.

When we sleep, our spiritual or astral bodies move away from the sleeping body and explore other realms of consciousness. This is not a phenomenon that happens to a select few. This happens to everyone every night during sleep. During sleep, the mind and body rest and heal, and the spiritual or astral body explores and visits places and people from other dimensions in time. The spiritual body visits the Halls of Wisdom, Temples of Learning, Temples of Healing and the akashic records. Although most people are unaware of the learning and exploration that goes on in dreams, the spiritual information is brought back to the waking state and slowly digested and integrated into waking life. The result is that intuition is developed, and a deeper spiritual wisdom is accessed and accelerated.

In several dreams, the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light traveled with me in my dream body. “We are the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light and have been with you on earth many times through several incarnations. We have lived amongst earth people, intermingling with humans. You are a Starseed and carry a message of light and love.”

There were other dreams and messages. In a dream, a mountain of quartz crystals tumbled down and blanketed me with protection, healing, and light. I awoke with insight and began writing For Starseeds: Healing the Heart—Pleiadian Crystal Meditations.

At that time, night time learning was accelerated. Advanced spiritual beings of light taught me how to help sick people. Dreams intensified; an electrical charge, a laser beam of vibrating green healing light, rippled down my arm into a woman’s body, healing her heart. She and I were connected. She was healed. The radiating healing light and the intensity of information channeled from the Spiritual Guides and Masters, and the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light intensified in the dream. The room shook. In the dream, I was told, “You are a Starseed. Become a conscious channel for healing.”

When the healing was complete, the woman sat up, looked around the room, and got off the table. A Pleiadian Emissary of Light spoke and said that the primary mission of the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light on earth is to awaken Starseeds and move them toward the awareness of the Light within.

In another more recent dream, I was given information about a past life. In the dream, I was traveling at an accelerated rate. I looked to my right and heard a voice say, “You are passing the Edmond Monastery.” In waking reality, I never heard of the Edmond Monastery. In the morning, I discovered that the monastery does indeed exist. In past lives, I have lived a cloistered life and am drawn to that way of living in this life. Often, what we are drawn to in this life, points to where we have lived before. In this past life dream, I was visiting a place I had lived before.

At night, before bed, bring a dream journal by your bed. In the morning, write down anything and everything you remember-even the smallest bit of dream material gives lots of information to the dreamer. Before you go to sleep, set your intention and you will become the dreamer that will visit other places, meet with your spiritual guides, and enjoy the journey with your Dream Master-your Higher Self that has a 360 degree point of view.

The Healing Journey

Even with the understanding that we are all spiritual beings of light reincarnated back to earth for a physical/spiritual experience, the earth-walk can be challenging physically, emotionally and spiritually and sometimes overwhelming. Loss and change brings anxiety and fear. These intense emotional responses throw us off center and make us lose our balance. Adrenaline flows especially when a person experiences a life threatening event; loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, divorce, or illness. During times of loss and during less critical times-being stuck in a traffic jam, or late for work-it makes it difficult to relax and turn it over to a Higher Power. Fear sets in bringing with it rushes of adrenaline that change the chemistry in the body increasing anxiety and fear. A stress cycle begins; fear, adrenaline, anxiety-not pleasant at all are experienced. Affirmations reminding to trust and let go competes with the survival mechanism the fight or flight response. This built in survival mechanism is designed to give us energy to deal with dangerous situations and ensure survival. The repeated ongoing release of adrenaline is not conducive for relaxation, nor is it healthy for the mind or the body. The body remains tense, spiritual contact is lost, and cortisol pours into the blood producing a sticky substance that flows into the arteries. During very stressful times when you don't feel you can do anything to relax, turn it over to a Higher Power of your choosing.

Letting go and letting ourselves be led by our Higher Power is not a passive approach to life. It makes good sense to let go and surrender especially during challenging times. When we surrender, we remember that we are spiritual beings of light reincarnated to earth to have a physical experience. To make the life-walk easier it is best to have a circle of people you trust and that you can reach out during times of crisis and stress.

The Twelve Step programs are an excellent choice and there are many. Most people have heard of AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, but there is also NA Narcotics Anonymous, and Al-Anon and Alateen. Codependents Anonymous addressing relationship issues, ACOA, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Overeaters Anonymous, to name a few all based on the Twelve Step Program for healing. All of the Twelve Step groups are free and spiritually based reminding that the best way to guide your life is by creating a relationship with your personal Higher Power so that you have a guide who is always with you, always loving you, caring and keeping your best interests in Its Heart and Mind as you move along on your healing journey into the Light and Love of God.

Love, Light, Healing, and Many Blessings
