Physical & Emotional Wounds

Physical wounds take time and nurturing to heal. It is the same for emotional wounds. Just because they aren't visible to our eye doesn't mean that it needs any less nurturing or time to heal. Because they aren't visible you might sometime have the belief that you can rush through it, bury it, and or ignore it, which, of course, doesn't work.

So think of your emotional wound as a physical wound. Check it everyday and take care of it.  Make sure it is healing properly. Change the bandages as often as you need and clean it daily. Give it love and attention. When it still feels sore and tender, pamper it. Just like you don't judge a physical wound, don't judge an emotional wound either. Nurture yourself and take all the time needed to heal.

Reconnect

When we have resistance we get disconnected from God/Spirit/Allah/etc.. That is when doubts creep in, when you start becoming unsure of everything, when you start loosing perspective and spiraling down into a darker place. Know that it is your choice to become reconnected again. There is always that choice.

When you recognize that you are disconnected tell yourself: "I make the conscious choice to get reconnected!". Using it as a mantra and repeating it 108 times is one way to start the process, though not the only one.  Find the one that works for you and do it!  Get reconnected!  :)

Nurture

When you have someone you care about going through a rough time, a natural tendency is to want to console them and give them advice. And this may be completely appropriate depending on the situation. Keep in mind too that sometimes all that is needed is for them to have some space to cry, mourn, grieve or simply talk, with no other input of yours than to give them you attention, your time, your compassionate, accepting space.

All of us need nurturing at some point, so make space too to give this type of nurturing when your opportunity arises.  :)

Table Settings As Mini Altars

Surrounding yourself with things that appeal to you is important, from clothing, to furniture, paintings, etc. It does have an effect on your daily life, your moods, your energy, your chakras, and more. Not everyday is the same as you know by the way you choose different clothes and colors everyday, reflecting your mood and needs.

I saw the following clip on YouTube entitled "Table Settings As Mini Altars" by Denise Linn that I found intriguing, a little something to tickle the imagination, and thought you might enjoy it too. So here it is:

Enjoy!

Joy

 Here is an affirmation for you for today (as suggested in the book "Soul Coaching" by Denise Linn): "I am free to experience joy in every moment no matter what is happening in my life."

Throughout the day, constantly ask yourself: "How can I experience even more joy and fun today?". See what you can come up with!

Cutting Energy Ties

When you feel that somehow you are giving your energy away or someone else is taking it from you, there is a quick an easy thing you can do immediately. Use your hand palm open and cut through the air in front of you saying: "Cut!". Do the same on your sides and your back (as best as you can). It works instantly to cut any energetic ties that have formed or are forming.

Do it as often as needed. When it comes to power struggles the area most affected will be the solar plexus chakra. I always feel an energy surge within that area when I cut the energetic cord.

Joints

If your joints are hurting, a probable cause, according to Louise L. Hay in her book "Heal Your Body A-Z", is that you are fighting/not accepting changes in direction in your life.  Your degree of embracing the changes are reflected in the degree of ease of your movements.

If you have joint issues, reflect and see if this is the case for you. Where are you resisting the flow of life? How can you come to a more balanced and peaceful state?

See if you can shift your thought pattern. The following is a suggested new thought pattern as stated in the book: "I easily flow with change.  My life is Divinely guided, and I am always going in the best direction."
