Melt Stress Away

 

Before you allow that last nerve to be worked . . . step away and release that build up of energy  . . . through breathing, gentle touch, and a soothing conversation to yourself.  Yes I do mean talking to yourself . . . really it's talking to your body. . . doing this out loud reaches the subconscious mind and activates the relaxation response.   This "quickie", can change the mind, nourish the system with oxygen, relax the body, and activate your vital energy . . . all in 3 minutes.  Try it and let me know.

  • Gently place your hand over your heart-chakra in the middle of your chest, take a deep breath through the nose, tell your body everything is all right - keep breathing -30 seconds
  • Move your hand down to your navel, take a deep breath, tell your body that you are here with it -  keep breathing 30 seconds
  • Bring your awareness to your feet -take deep slow breaths into your feet - 30 seconds
  • Take your awareness into the earth and feel that connection - breathing into the earth = 30 seconds
  • Now you can do the fire breath of quick fast breathing through the nose . . . do this fast, almost like panting, but your mouth is closed.- 60 seconds - This will clear the mind.
  • Now place your hands over your womb-space and breathe 3 deep slow breathes into that space and say out loud.  All is well.  All is well.  All is well.  Blessed Be Ashe'

Happy Solstice

Come to the still point. 
Feel the hush of the deep dark fall around you. 
Surrender to the apparently never-ending inky sky. 
Await the return of the sun. 
We are between worlds.
Our circle is forming. 
We are coming together. 
Ignite your flame of Love. 
Sing light into the darkness.

-Priestess Doughty

The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely. -Lorraine Hansberry



As we stop and take the time to go within . . . we connect to our Essence . . . and with that connect comes renewal, soul nourishment, and creative flow . . . we all need that deep time for Self. . . we all need to rest in the womb of darkness.
