Taking Care of Your Body

Whew! Good job! That's a lot of new 'stuff' in one week! We'll take the next couple weeks slower. It is imperative that you set the habit of the two meditation techniques you just learned into your life. You're programming (and training) yourself to go to yourself first. You're teaching yourself to ask you [anything and everything].

Taking Care of Your Body is so very important. Remember, Spirit can only work through you, as healthy as your brain is. In other words, Spirit [your channeling and connecting abilities] are limited to the health of your brain.  (Start thinking about a healthy lifestyle and what that means to you.)

Your body has its own consciousness and its own personality. Your [animal] body thinks, feels, makes decisions and judgments. Your body is bound to [we all are] Nature's Laws and is very aware of them all of the time. Your body is also bound to you. It 'has' to listen to you. It's your subconscious mind's job to carry out the decisions you [your conscious mind] makes. So, even if your body does not like the instructions you are giving it, it still has to do it. (We'll talk more about this as we go.) Read more about the Mind here. Challenges can arise from conflicting feelings, beliefs and programs. (Indecision [from your earlier classes] would fit in here.)  This would be a great time to think about (and change) any conflicting programs and/or wants/desires. Look through the Blackboard Section for anything that fits you. You can never erase too many negative anythings. Since we're working on your body, now would be a superb time to focus on staying young. There's three downloads that go with the Staying Young Set (1 blackboard, 1 guided meditation, 1 short hypnosis download to program you everyday) and are all sold separately. They are listed 'with' each other so, be sure, to read the description of each one. Remember to get the one(s) to erase any negative programming, self defeating thoughts and any doubts that have to do with your body and anything you're working on.)

This week is easy ;) It's about you and your body. That's it. Listen to the download I Take Care of My Body at least once this week. 1/2 of your download time should be dedicate to something about your body. You can do anything from sleeping better to loosing weight or quitting smoking. It's completely up to you; just do it.  The goal: Enjoy it!

Meditation Assignment:
All of your Meditation Assignments are for you to get to know you. It's your responsibility to keep up with what you asked yourself last week. You can continue to ask the same types of questions, build on the last session or start something completely new. It's up to you. If you're still working on ______, then keep at it! And, just add body stuff this week. 

~*~Tune into your Higher Self:

Try this technique 3 times this week and document it in your meditation journal. 

~*~The Ask Yourself/Meditate on That Technique:

1. It's all about your body!  Make your body your focus this week. 

2. Meditate on 3 different occasions with Your Body being the focus.

a. Meditate on (ask about) one or two of the items on your list of ideas from last week

b. Ask your Body for a message~What does your body want to tell you?

c. Ask (request) that you get to know your body better. This will be different for everyone. This is your body, you have your own unique relationship with your body (even if you just found out about you animal having their own thoughts and feelings!), you've always had it and you'll continue to work with or against body (or any variation of this) for the rest of your time here. 

3. Write about your experiences in your Meditation Journal. 

(This would be the time that you can add a new journal for all of your Body, Health, fitness, nutrition, exercise, sleep schedule, answers about your biorhythms and genes would go in here. you could use this journal when you ask about illness, disease, aging and even your environment. This journal should be for your Body.)

Notes & More Notes!
Start documenting everything BODY! This does not have to be perfect (It is recommended that you get a separate journal for all of your body stuff. Click here to peruse our selections.)
The more detailed that you can be, the better. Here are some ideas. Pick at least 5 things and keep track of all those unconscious things you do. (You'll use all the data next class, so, think of this as just gathering information for yourself. The more information that you have, the better able you are going to be to make good choices for yourself that you'll be able to smoothly integrate them into every aspect of your life. The easier we make this, the more chance that everything will stick.) 

With Every Entry: (You're documenting what you're doing on that day. Do not try to do anything special for this exercise. All you need to do is keep track of 5 things on the list. You can come up with your own list, too. Document and observe 5 different habits, behaviors, etc. Include the Date and Time with each entry. 

diet- regular
diet- eating out
sleeping schedule
snacks
ups (energy and mood)
downs (energy and mood)
exercise
lethargy, too tired, drained/exhausted
outside time
playtime
want more time with people/company
want less time with people/company
hydrated/dehydrated
stress/things that trigger you
meditation time (label the different types)
hypnosis/meditation downloads


Writing Assignments: 
This is going to start looking the same. Stop yourself from the temptation of skimming over what you think you already know or what you think you have already read or done the homework. If something is repeated, rest assured, it is done purposely. 
Every week, the same thing. Yes. You're training your mind. You are creating habits. You're making yourself responsible for your thoughts, feelings, your well-being and your health; in all aspects of your life. If you stick to it now, you'll never have to do this again. (Note: Unless you train yourself out of the routines that you are creating now.) 
Plan on checking, reading over, making notes and/or fine tuning your goals every week. 
Once you're done with this eCourse, you can continue to revise and revisit your goals and turn them into anything that you like! 

1. Review your Goals.
2. Review your Psychic Goals.
3. Review your eCourse Goals. 
4. Follow your Schedule this week.
5. At the end of the week: Review your schedule and if it needs it: Write out your (new) Schedule.  (The meditations should be added in, now. Both Meditation techniques: 3x each.)
6. Make notes next to each Goal: Now it's important to keep checking and to be sure everything is still supporting and complimenting each other. 

Meditation & Hypnosis Downloads: 

Downloads to Listen to 5-7x this week
Add ANY Body Download to your routine

Yay! Keep doing whatever you want. Just do it. You pick the downloads that you want and listen to them. You can continue to work on relationships and people or start on some type of take a break, relax yourself or whatever else you are working on in your life. (Check your goals... Is there a download that fits what you're struggling with now or one that reinforces what you're creating? Is there anything that you're craving or that you 'want' to hear? If you haven't tried any new ones, now is a good time. This week is completely up to you.) 

If you need some new ones:

Another recommended download is Healing Waters. You can use this guided meditation anytime you want (or need) and healing, soothing energy in/for your mind, body and emotions. You can pick which 'thing' you want to work on that day. Every time you listen to the download, you can get in touch with the part of you that needs the attention.

Your body will tell you the best diet and exercise program, how many hours of sleep you [it] need(s), and even how to heal itself. You body knows what it needs. Take this free health analyzer test. It will take about ten minutes. You can do it every couple of weeks to 'see' how you are doing. Bringing your body into balance and thinking/saying nice things to it is the kindest most supportive thing you can do for it. Eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, getting deep restful sleep, exercising and taking vitamins, minerals and herbs shows that you care about it. A loved body is a happy body.

Follow your Light

The very end of October and very beginning of November is my favorite holiday time. So full of mystery, magic and hope. This time of year is steeped full of traditions, history, honoring our Ancestors and all of those that have come before us and of course, focusing on our own personal responsibility and Spirituality. How could anyone not be enamored with this week of the year?!!

In just 5 days you have Halloween, New Years, Samhain, Dia de Muertos, All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, Diwali, and New Years [again]! And, those are just the ones I listed off the top of my head. (If you have anything that you celebrate that I've missed, please contact me here so that I can include them next year.)

Here's your homework:

Find a new holiday to learn about. Pick something between October 31st-November 4th. And, with the Internet, this should be a snap. Make sure you choose something that resonates with you, your current belief system and that can fit nicely into your already planned celebrations.

1. Read about the history of the holiday you picked. Be sure to search more than one website and/or go to the library and check out a few books, stories and even craft and cookbooks.

2. Experiment with some of the rituals [on that holiday's date]. This can be anything from setting up an alter, letting candles burn throughout the night or even meditating, singing and dancing ~ it's whatever tickles your fancy. 

3. Craft something; you can make a wreath, mask or a doll, light a row of candles, make a dish from/for that holiday, or even make your own New Year's list. You must CRAFT it. The crafting is important because it's you getting physically involved in what you've just learned about. (You may already have something planned for the ritual of that day.) This section of your homework is about you letting your creativity flow! Enjoy the Holidays!!!

4. Document and journal your effort, experience and rituals. Take pictures of what you did and write about it in your journal. Don't have a journal? No problem! Go get one. Journals and notebooks are everywhere. Find one that fits who you are or, more appropriately, who you want to be. (Still not sure where you should look? Try this online store In the Section Products that Inspire.)

So, why don't I just explain and teach you about all of the holidays mentioned above [here]? Well, for one thing I just listed at least 8 different religious celebrations, and to be quite honest, there are bound to be multitude of people who are offended and complain about what I'd write. How do I know? Because I get that all the time. 

(If you'd like more information, Living Lightly Newsletter is sending out a variety of holiday emails that explain a few of the holidays and give you ideas and exercises to do at home. You can sign up for those here.)

But more importantly... I want you to listen to your intuition and find what resonates with you. That's what makes learning about yourself and Spirit fun. That's what makes it exciting. It's not the force feeding that teaches and inspires you, it's the inner promptings. It's the learning to pay attention to yourself and the training to notice your inner thoughts and feelings. It's the amazing ways that Spirit works through you and brings you the guidance and messages that you crave. It's all the synchronicities and the coincidences that happen so frequently that a coincidence just doesn't mean the same thing anymore. It simply, means much, much more than it ever has before.

Yes, I write this blog to teach you. Yes, I give you 'real' information. But nothing, no thing and no person can ever replace that Ah-Ha moment when you get something yourself or when your whole world makes sense or when you sit back and watch everything in your life fall into place. That is magic. That is Divine. That is what I strive to help you uncover in your life. It's already happening all of the time within and around you... My job, well, my job is to help you tune into the subtleties so that you see it, feel it, know it and move with it, every moment of everyday.

Start your Day Right

How incredibly blessed we are that every day is a new day. 

You choose what each day means to you, what you're going to do with it and how you're going to handle it. Starting your day out right is about setting your intention. You decide how you feel everyday and what you are going to accomplish. If you do not make the conscious and physical effort to tell yourself what you want, then you are letting your subconscious mind decide and do what it has been programmed and trained to do. 

The fist few moments in the morning are so precious. You're in an altered state. Your subconscious mind is open to suggestion. And, if you are aware, you'll hear those subconscious thoughts as you start to wake up or as the sleepy fog begins to lift. 

If you have the wherewithal, say nice things to yourself in this state. 

Before you start your day, try to carve out (just) 10 or 15 minutes to write out what you'd like for the day.

Getting your head right before you start your day, sets your entire day up to be the way you want it. This is your day. You create it. You change it. You live it and you control your reactions to it.

Getting your mind where you want it to be every day will change your whole world. Yes, you need to do it everyday. Yes, it gets easier. And, yes, you can find the time. If it's important to you, you'll find away. There are more ways to get things done than there excuses to why we can't. 

Taking control of your day is one of the kindest, most empowering things you can do for yourself and it only takes a few minutes each day.

We all don't have time first thing in the morning to relax and think or even have time for ourselves. If you're rushed  in the morning or if your home is full of life early, do the exercises before bed or the day before (whenever you have a few minutes alone). You can reread what you've written before you start your day.

Set your intention for today.

You may find that you like to write a paragraph, a list of goals or create your own affirmation. You may find that each day is different or that you snuggle into a habit that fits you perfectly and is exactly the same everyday. Whatever you do, it's great. You're doing it and that's the point. You're telling yourself that you are serious and this is what you want for the day. It sets it up in your mind as a high priority, even if you never think about it until tomorrow morning when you're writing out your intention.

When you make this a regular part of your life, you'll find that you get more done, accomplish your goals easier and are calmer and more relaxed inside. You naturally become more in-tune with yourself because you are paying attention to yourself, you are attending to your needs and you are being very clear about what you're expecting from yourself.

When you're first starting, you want to try this different ways; you want to find what works best for you. If this seems overwhelming, use just one or two sentences and follow these simple rules:

• be clear and concise
• be specific (with what you want to accomplish)
• use the present tense
• be realistic

~ I live a spiritual life.

~ I make healthy choices for myself and my family today.

~ Today I act on the messages I receive.

~ I handle everything at work today with patience and grace.

~ I get everything done on my to do list easily

~ I choose to be fully engaged in all of my tasks today.

What's the big deal about Meditating?

Why does everyone tell me to Meditate?!!! 

What does that have to do with anything?!!!

How can your hear [your] Spirit if you cannot calm your mind or your body?

How could you possible tell the difference from your body's thoughts, wants and needs or your emotional self trying to get you to notice it from what your Higher Self is trying to guide you to? How would you be able to filter your inner child thoughts from old programming or the voice of a parent? How would you be able to tell the difference between a past life thought and a thought a spirit attachment is giving you? Simple... You can't. Period. Many people will [try] to argue this point with me. They'll say they know... My response, "How, exactly, do you know?" ~ If you cannot describe the different vibrations of each one of these parts of you, the you simply do not know. And, by the way, it always feels like a knowing thought... Why? Because that part of you does know that it is saying it or prompting you to do. It is the one doing it! ~ You just don't know which part that is. 

Don't worry, if what you just read was overwhelming or confusing, or if you thinks it's a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, keep following this blog. I'll get to all of it eventually. I'll teach you how to discern all of the thoughts that bubble up in your head and the emotions you feel in your body. We'll even get around to how all those parts of you are always communicating with you and how to interpret their messages. It may seem like a lot or a long haul, but if you stick with it, it will be the most exciting journey you've ever embarked on.

If you haven't already, sign up for the Newsletter Living Lightly ~ it comes out once every 27 days and on some holidays. Read it and Do the exercises, each newsletter is designed with a month's worth of homework and practice in mind. (Click here for more information) Oh, and save them! Each newsletter builds on the one before ~ so, you may want to refer to them. Very, very few things will be repeated here and in the newsletter. ~I'm the one who does all of it, so I know what I've covered, lol, and just by personality, am not a fan of repeating myself in words or type.  

Back to Meditation... There are SO many styles and ways to do it. And, so many wonderful paths to follow. Start researching, reading and trying as many different techniques as you can. (You want to find what fits you best ~ if you are already a master~ try something new.) Ask around, you may be pleasantly surprised with how many people enjoy a regular meditative practice and how many classes and groups there are locally. Everyone is different and everyone needs something different, try all types. You may find you adore a Chinese Walking Meditation even though you don't like to walk or that a mantra fits you perfectly when you didn't think you could stay focused or don't even know that language! They [meditations practices] all take training and disciple but when you find what suits you, it won't feel like work or a challenge, it will feel like... well, bliss. 

O.K. You need to learn how to relax your mind and your body. Period. You can't expect to be a clear channel for Spirit if your mind is going a mile a minute. How could you possibly let anything in? And how can you calm your mind if your body is uncomfortable, rigid or all balled up with stress and tension?

The goal~ you should be able to close your eyes, whisper one or two words to yourself and slip into that state of bliss, 'deep' state of meditation. If you can't, you haven't mastered it yet (or you could be having an off day, it's life. It happens. lol) ... keep trying. And, if you can, (yay!) keep doing it. 

Try these two (for starters ~ once you get the hang of it, you'll be off and running): 

Relax your Body 

Learn How to Relax (focuses on your body)This download teaches you how to relax. This is perfect for anyone who has a hard time relaxing their body, quieting their mind or feeling calm inside. You'll lean how to release stress and tension from your muscles, clear your mind and count yourself down into a relaxed state or into sleep. This download has you flex and release your muscles and focus on your breathing. You decide what you would like to do at the end of the session~ wake up full of energy, stay in a meditative state or go to sleep. It's your choice, all you have to do is tell yourself what you want to do [at the end] when you start your download. (Click here for more information)

They are inexpensive (and they are awesome) ~ if you listen to them, you'll just 'do' it. They work for the advanced practitioner and for someone who has never been able to sit still for more that 5 minutes. And, if you're a daily meditator, you can slip it in anywhere. you do not have to subscribe to a specific school of thought or religion and the downloads will not step on anyone's toes. They are a compliment to any practice  any person in any situation or circumstance in their life. (The majority of the downloads are between 25-40 minutes, if they are shorter or longer, it will list it in the description.)

Nervous (or skeptical) about listening to something with your eyes closed?
Oh... Are you worried about what someone is going to put in your head or that it won't work or that you can't do it? ... I made this download for just such an occasion! It gets the negative thoughts out of your head, teaches you about your different states of consciousness and programs you to stay in control of your mind, your body and your life. It's one of my favorites and I've been doing this for... ummm... ever. lol And, I still love this one. 
(Hypnosis =Altered State of Consciousness/Relaxation)
How Hypnosis Works The Hypnosis Works Black Board download is great if you've never done hypnosis before (and fabulous if you're a seasoned participant) because it takes out anything negative you have ever heard about hypnosis and reminds you that you are the one in control of your mind, body and life. It also helps your hypnosis sessions to work faster and better by removing any blocks you may have about the magic and simplicity of the state its self and the power of your mind.  (Click here for more information)
