Turning of the Wheel Thanks

I can’t believe how different my life is from a year ago.  One year ago I was struggling to maintain a mindfulness meditation practice that usually felt like a chore and had never let spirit guide me in meditation.  I had not started taking probiotics and still felt anxious about little silly things in my life.  I now meditate 3-4 times a day just for the joy of learning from and receiving support from my guides.  I still worry about major things when they come along but spirit helps guide me so I feel confident dealing with those as well.  The little things that won’t mean anything in a few months I don’t even think about, and this is coming from someone who has struggled with anxiety her whole life.  

Please start taking probiotics if you struggle with any kind of anxiety issues, they have changed my life.  You can get cheaper generic versions or buy them at wholesale stores like Costco.  Get ones with 50 billion cultures and take them daily.  If they don’t help you will know, but I can tell when I have missed them for a few days because all of a sudden I’m worrying about things I haven’t thought about in weeks.  

Start a daily meditation practice.  If you can do mindful meditation where you try to quiet your mind, more power to you and you are gifted.  I know that the act of trying to quiet your mind and not actually quieting your mind is what is important, but it just makes me want to quit, and in this busy world if I don’t enjoy meditating, I won’t.   If you are like me please try guided meditations, either that you listen to or that you let your own guides take you on. 

If you want help on how to do this you can join us tomorrow at the Sacred Space Workshop but no matter what means you use, find something that works for you.  If you need some help don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  I am so grateful for how much my life has changed and if this can help anyone else I would love to point you in the right direction.  

I want to also send a big Thank You to everyone in my Chakra and ASMR Relaxation Facebook groups.  You are my tribe and your support keeps me going when it’s not so easy.  I feel so blessed each day to have people to reach out to with such varied and beautiful gifts.  The fact that none of you were in my life last year astounds me.  There are people who you meet and immediately they are family.  That is how I feel about my workshop group.    Big love from me and my guides (they helped a bit with the wording).  I can’t wait to start another powerful journey with some of you tomorrow.

Magical Flower Guided Meditation

This is a meditation to help you relax and grow.  I have written this while in meditation with my guides and hope you find it helpful.  

Please find a comfortable place to sit or lay down, and take some deep long breaths.  Let go of any worries of the day.  This is time for you and not a place to think about any of your concerns.  You need time to relax and care for yourself so you can be good to others in your life.  Meditation is the best way to quiet the mind and connect with deeper parts of yourself and the energies of the world.  If you are ready, try to relax your muscles and mind to enter this time of meditation.

Find yourself walking through a beautiful garden.  The flowers are all in bloom and the scent is strong and pungent.  You walk through the garden smelling and touching the various flowers until you find one that seems to call to you from across the garden.  It seems to glow as you walk towards it.   As you get closer you seem to hear a whisper from the flower.   You bend down to smell this flower and the whisper seems louder.   You turn your head so your ear is above the flower and you can now hear what the flower is saying.  The flower tells you it has a message for you from Mother Earth.  The message is that, “As you care for yourself you care for her.”  We are all One, so caring for you is a spiritual act and it helps to heal and nurture the earth and all the creatures on it.  

You turn your head to ask the flower a question that has been preying on your mind.  Just one question, and as you turn your head to place your ear over the flower, the flower whispers one word in answer.  You may need to take time to think about how this one word answers your question but it definitely does.  Thank the flower and you may kiss a petal in farewell if that feels right to you. 

Know that each flower has a story for you if you just know how to listen.   Each flower can give you answers from Mother Earth if you open your heart and just ask.  You walk around the garden a bit more, savoring the beautiful colors and the smells.  You feel content in the knowledge that you have received.  

Exit the garden and begin to feel yourself in the room where you are sitting of laying down.  Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready, you can open your eyes.

I look forward to another journey with you soon.
