Chant the MANTRA..SSHHHoossshh the Mind.

The mind is a thinking machine, I often attribute it to being that of a shark. It hunts all the time, eats, moves, and never sleeps. Sound familiar. The minds purpose is simple, yet complex, hmm perfect balance I would guess. It's purpose is to create problems and solve those problems that's it. It was designed to only do that, at a caliber that most of us can never grasp. 

The mind is a marvel, think on that see what I did . It is almost by reflex that we go straight to the MIND. It is a conditioning of lots of practice over years of conforming. The mind does not care what the issue is , it can argue both sides, why it is to it's benefit it is fulfilling it's primary purpose. The problem with all that of course is it is a never ending cycle. It never stops. It requires the body to check and balance it, as one minor part of the greater whole. The body thankfully has a threshold of maximum capacity. When it has reached it's limit it shuts down by any means necessary. Self preservation kicks in, this is where we start this is the point in the midst of all this that we get to stop and see what else is missing. I talk of the warning signs, that one's body activates to let us know to stop and take a look. The mind is a weed, it will take over and break down everything in it's path IF LEFT TO IT'S OWN DEVICES. The heart and soul play the last of the four to create the perfect balance a complete check and balances. The heart controls feelings which will strongly affect the mind, emotions are very very powerful. The soul or essence of one being the unexplained by words, yet to deny it is to deny one's true self. This is the inner source of faith, bliss, and pure unconditional LOVE for oneself and thus the world tribe. It starts inward only to vibrate outwards and touch all that it passes through. 

How does one tame the mind? Good question, I would answer with practice and more practice, and just when one thinks they have it, nope practice it again. It is the journey of the practice that provides the learning, the growth, the strength, the one step closer to one's truest self. There one too will find their "primary purpose". Still working on it here, but after fifty one moon cycles it is so much clearer, all that practice is dose of zen so to speak. Let's talk Mind GAMES, nope let's change games to Minds full of PEACE and QUIET. 

Mantra's 
By accessing the power of speech through mantras, you can re-frame your thinking to purify negativity with love. Mantras are simple yet powerful phrases that are continuously recited in order to provide a healing, stabilizing effect on the mind. The repetitious quality of mantras yield the potential to open doors to achieving love, happiness and meaningful accomplishments

1. Everything ends.

When you are overwhelmed by anxiety or believe you are ‘stuck’ in a situation, you must remember that everything ends. Life is composed of cycles; every negative cycle must occur for a positive cycle to begin. Even our most frustrating, terrible cycles will come to an end. A difficult situation is not a permanent barrier to any kind of happiness.

2: I am enough.

Perfectionism is a major roadblock to incorporating love and happiness into your life. Take a moment each day to remind yourself that you are enough. Who has told you that you are ‘not good enough’? Will punishing yourself bring love and prosperity? As you recite this mantra, look at yourself in the mirror–be your own best supporter. This mantra should be repeated to counteract negative self-talk.

3.Let love be my guide.

There is nothing as holistic and cleansing as integrating love as a guiding energy into your life. Give into the divine will of the Universe by releasing all negative thinking; when your mind and heart have opened, you will see joy unfold before your eyes. As you recite this mantra, imagine a warm, pink light wrapping around your body like a blanket, drawing out all darkness from your auric field.

Emotion-cons???? Speak Loudly

We all know what burnout is. There are many categories under this title. Emotional burnout is the very heart and soul of most of the sisterhood on this planet. Go figure, it just seems the normal.We express them everywhere, wherever that little button lives we PUSH IT. What if just for one moment, we truly took a look at the definition of emotion, and do we really ever get to the core of it's existence to truly accept and start to the changes to heal.

Emotions control one's thinking, behavior, and actions. Emotions cause illness. Emotions also reflect in the physical body just as the body affects your feelings and thinking. Emotions that are not felt and released look at that sentence again, there are two parts, and one must follow the other. Balance and Cleansing.

What are Feelings and Emotions?

  John D. (Jack) Mayer says, “Emotions operate on many levels.  They have a physical aspect as well as a psychological aspect.  Emotions bridge thought, feeling, and action – they operate in every part of a person, they affect many aspects of a person, and the person affects many aspects of the emotions.

  Dr. Maurice Elias says, “Emotions are human beings’ warning systems as to what is really going on around them.  Emotions are our most reliable indicators of how things are going on in our lives.  Emotions help keep us on the right track by making sure that we are led by more than the mental/ intellectual faculties of thought, perception, reason, memory.

These are just examples of how people define the word. Interesting perspective on both takes.
One cannot control their emotions, it is an illusion. We must feel all them, positive and negative, and then must release them as they are only there in that moment. Everything is temporary including emotions. The energy in each of these "feelings" is a good indicator of exactly what is going on inside us. It is a wake-up alarm alerting one that there is something amiss. If one sits and feels and follows this energy of emotion it will truly take one to the core issue, patterns that have sustained all this time and what a load one has been carrying, but that is where the healing must begin.

Sisters they are so many signs to show just how repressed and deep those emotions go we must pay attention to our bodies and truly get to be comfortable with it's amazing engineering .

TOP FIVE SIGNS:

1. FATIGUE
2. Depression with no related cause.
3.Blowing up over minor incidents
4. Pretending something doesn't matter when it really does matter.
5. Lethargic "who cares" attitude.

How many hmm's got you wonder?

Ways to Identify the feelings?
1. Listen inner self's thoughts and dress
2. Nothing is too small of matter if it hurts it matters
3.Record for 2 months what makes you feel strongly.
4. Keep a journal of your dreams (they reveal a lot)
5. Positive emotions draw them in
6. Listen to the gentle whispers of your soul
7. Use your guides, universal divine, feminine divine, angels, magic.

RELEASING THEM TO THE UNIVERSE-HEALING BEGINS.
1.Speak one's truth- the core of the experience of the feeling.
2.Transmutting emotions- emotional meditation experience. Letting go through the breath different degrees of breathing based on emotion or feeling.
3.Releasing Resentments-even the tiniest will fester. Be thorough.
4.The power of prayer or offering
5. Meditation with heart of the Universe. Once you have relaxed, feel your heart, be with your heart.  Then go out into the Universe, and visit the stars and the spaces between the stars, until you find that sacred place, the Heart of the Universe.  Approach it slowly, respectfully and with humility.  Then ask that the love of the Universal Heart be more deeply connected with your heart, and that your heart be filled with the love of the Universe.  Stay with this for as long as you can.  Feel the love of this Universal Heart.  Once you feel your heart has received the love it needs at this time, thank the Universal Heart for sharing its love with you and slowly open your eyes and come back into the present moment.
We need to ask!

6. Shifting your perspective.
7. Detach from it
8. Know your fears.

Watch the button pushing they are always directing one's true inner core self. Feel it, Release it, and rise in all your glory sisterhood.

Let Our Bodies Heal...

My dear sisters I greet you this Tuesday afternoon with a late entry. Greeted my Feminine first thing this morning.  I noticed one hour later, the day was going to off, out of step or just a little funky.

We are one day away from being free of the Mercury Retrograde thank the Como's for bringing it to it's end.  The day went off like I said and I had a choice at that point, I could  "belly up to the day, suck it up, and push on? or I could stop, hit reset and realize, and ACCEPT  I am out of sorts, and so I will kind and gentle to ME  I decided to listen to the inner child and it requested rest and healing some things were out of balance.

I looked at my calendar and my lists, yes I am list gal spotty at best but still a list. I sat back and asked the question what is the next thing I need to do right now? Nothing was planned for at least a couple of hours. I started to think of all the times that I have pushed my body to limits I knew it could keep of with. I reset one more time and thought this time is different, something changed and I went right to the HEALING LIGHT, no argument or debate in my head, no guilt, or martyr syndrome, just the healing solution. I thought how much as women we overdue, and submit ourselves to horrible body treatment. when in truth it is our bodies that sustain our ability to keep treating our bodies with disdain.

I say no more, today is the day we rise up and or quiet down and LET OUR BODIES HEAL.  Every cell in our body is a living breathing entity it has purpose and meaning. This body, houses our spirits, our souls, our dreams, our fears, loves, and loses. Quite powerful stuff if you ask me. A little humbling to. It follows our lead, and keeps pace with every dance without missing a step most days, and then we hound it "saying come on get over it", when it missed a beat , we knew it could no longer make. Yes, I believe with all my heart that we do it knowingly and willingly because our minds tell us so, which really is EGO most of the time of it's little existence, but it packs a punch every time.

Our bodies are perfect, made just for each and every one of us. Every tiny infrastructure, membrane, vessel, organ, your strengths and weaknesses, it runs in perfect time with the natural order of the great divine energies, and created perfectly to fit you and your life long purpose here in this time and place. Why then do we as women, find it so hard to find time to HEAL?

I pondered a bit more, then I shut my eyes and focused on my breath white, pure, and fresh, clean, as it went into my body I too went in to be reminded of how wonderfully magical this meat skeleton truly is. I watched and listened the inner workings of my body, noises, and movements that I could never describe well enough, or perfectly accurate, I moved freely watching as all these little entities moved about repairing and reconstructing moving in tune with my thoughts. OOPS! I saw a blood vessel pop, I noticed my thoughts split second, I had a negative thought pass quickly, but it still left it's mark.  In that moment, I realized" everything I am arises from my thoughts". I continued to sail through my body, all the imperfections over time and choices were now actively being serviced and rebuilt. I noticed the increase of light in my body dark spots soon lightened up. I spent 25 minutes or so give or take in this space and time, as I started back to the day at hand I came back with such humility and grace and respect for what lies inside this bio-organic magical entity I get the honor to adorn.

So, this is what I am going to do for the rest of this 24, my sisters LET MY BODY HEAL. Peace love and light to you all.
