A Time to Reflect

Almost A New Year.............the last few months have flown by.
Enjoying these last few days left of 2017 and reflecting on them.
This is a great time to do a Review of your Year.  The positives and negatives of what you learned and made you stronger and the events that you may not want to redo over again.

This could be a time of year to Cherish those around you and what you are grateful for,  A time to let go of the disappointments and sorrows and Smudge your house with Sage to let the negative energy burn and move out.

Beautiful Bliss

Some days I need a reminder- a pick me up- to keep going and remind myself of who I am, before everything that is in front of me ( kids, husband, job, chores)   

Some days it is easy to loose ourselves- 

Breathe, meditation, grounding, searching, exploring...........will bring us back to what we are here for. 

Stress ? Are you talking to me ????

                    

 

When Feeling Stressed Out -  Use the 5 S's

 

                   STOP

                   SIGH

                   STRETCH

                   SHAKE

                   SMILE

 

 

Think about how we want to show up today  ?  ?  ?   

There are so many ways to let go and move on.  Find what works for you.  

Think of a place that will make you feel Zen, relaxed and feel the tension releasing away-

Teaching Kids Self-care can be tricky-  Some days my kids are really into it and then some days they are not.   I keep doing my Self-care- teaching by example.  Hopefully someday it will make a impact on them !!

Love- is it in the air ??

Spiritual Cleansing

Great way to start off the New Year-  

I did this on Jan 1st of this year. 

The Native American tribes were known to use sage for multiple purposes such as healing, clearing space and ceremonies. Many benefits can be gained in utilizing sage for smudging. If you're not familiar with smudging, it's Native American ritual that's like a "spiritual house cleaning" or spiritual purification.

You can purchase Sage Smudge sticks at Co-ops or Health food stores or online.

Before you start- make sure you go around and declutter your home.

 

1.  Make sure you have the Windows Open and the Fans on.  This will help the Negative Energy leave your house more easily and allowing the Positive Energy to fill the room.

2.  Light your smudge stick- blow out the flames and allow the embers to start to smolder and smoke.  

3.  Keep blowing on the sage to keep it smoldering as you walk around the whole house.  It will smell like incense.

3.   Say a prayer or affirmation of cleansing your home as  you walk around your house from room to room. Visualize positive energy filling up and the negative energy leaving each room.

Example ( fill this home with Light and positive energy of the highest vibration).

 

4.   When your walking around the rooms- make sure that the smoke gets into the corners of the room, along the walls and around the windows and ceiling.  

5.   Imagine the smoke absorbing up the negative energy and drifting out of the room and windows, allowing room for positive energy to fill up the space in the rooms and house.

6.   When you are done make sure you put out the smudge stick in a cup of water or ashtray.  

 

 

There are many Smudging prayers out there you can find.  This one is an example if you need one to help you start.

Finding yourself-

 These Images this week are helping me define my feelings this week- 

 I hope these find you on a blessed week of Love and Hope. 

Winter Chill

Days that turn into nights of the cold winter- can make you stop and think and reflect on the New coming year.  This time of year is making me take a deeper look into what I want 2017 to look like for me and my family.  

Mantras, Prayers or Daily Inspirational reading is a great way to start off the day !!

Blessings to Everyone this week !!
