Movement

Movement...
I have been released to move as much as I want within reason!!!!!
Today I am so conscious of my physical energy. I can now go to the gym and work out, swim, walk, hike, whatever I want to do. All of course within moderation. It has taken four months to get back this spot. How you move, how much you move really creates a resonance in your personal energy.
Today's zest for life is MOVEMENT...What else could it be!!
Of course it could also be remembering to BREATH!
I set my cell phone on alarm every 3 hours to remind me to breath, stop and take a deep breathe.
I'm sure everyone knows how to deep breath, but just in case your new to this.
Stand tall, close your eyes and slowly inhale through your nose, gradually expanding your diaphragm. Hold for a count of 5, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat 2-3 times, or until you feel clam.

Meditation Creations,
With the holidays here we are so busy that often we forget to take time for ourselves and breath.
Today's Meditation Creation is called
"Water Mediation"

Fill the bath with warm water, you can add bath salt, bubbles or essential oils to the water, anything that will calm you.
Playing soft music is good to.
Breath in to the count of 4,
Hold your breath to the count of 5, and Reflect
Exhale to the count of 6

Breath in saying" Water feels.."
Reflect on this..
Exhale..saying,  "Water is refreshing and warm"

Breath in saying, "Water is healing"
Reflect on this...
Exhale out saying  "Water is soothing."

Breath in saying, "Water is cleansing"
Reflect on this...
Exhale out saying  "I honor this time to cleanse and calm down."

Breath in saying " Water is relaxing."
Reflect on this...
Exhale out..saying,  "Thank you for water"

Now just lay back, listen to the music and enjoy this quiet time for yourself.
Smile at the gift you have just given to yourself.
Be inspired,
~Jean

It's Friday, It's finally Friday, Black Friday!!!

Meditation Creation,
Now that Thanksgiving is over, we are officially on to the Holiday Season. It's a stressful time for everyone. I am creating meditation tapes to use to get through the holidays. Come along with me and join in the fun.
Today, I will be outlining 6 steps to Relaxation and Let Go.
When I make my tapes I add music to enhance the technique.

6 Steps to Relax and Let Go

It is always best to sit in a quit room if you can. Get comfortable in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your eyes closed. I have in the past done this laying down, but I usually fall asleep.

1. I have a mantra I say, but you may choose a word of your own to focus on. Pick one that is simple, one syllable, and easy for you to remember.
2. Sit upright in a comfortable position, your hands can rest in your lap facing up or down. The important thing is to be comfortable.
3. Take a few deep breaths to relax. count 6 breaths in, hold 7, exhale 8. Do this 3 times.
4. Now just breath in normally. Repeat your word silently on your exhale.
5. Your mind will continue to bring thoughts to you, that's OK, just don't let them distract you. Let them come to you, and then let them move on with each exhale.
6. Continue for 20min. I find it easier if I set a timer before I start. This way I can relax and enjoy my meditation without the worry of time. Stay quiet with your eyes closed. After 20min, awake slowly and easily come back. Do 3 more deep breaths.

Now you are ready to shop, cook, decorate, and simply enjoy the holiday season.
If you can do this twice a day that would be great.
Be inspired.
