Your Instant Holiday Stress Release(2012)…

The holidays are a great time for fun. The holidays are a great time for spirituality. The holidays are a great time for stress, too.

Fortunately, we’ve got something that can help you with the third so that you can get on with the other two. No matter which spiritual path one follows, with everything that folks try to accomplish during the holidays, it’s not surprising if folks feel overwhelmed, cranky or downright “bah -humbug” at points. Even if we’re working hard at making merry, we all can use a break or two during the holiday season

Let me make you an early holiday gift of one…

(It’s a gift that keeps giving…)

The next time you’re feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed or down, instead of suffering, try this:

Take a deep breath, and

Look up at the ceiling.

(Repeat as needed…)

Give it a try now. Think of something that brings you down (income taxes, your least-favorite co-worker, cleaning out the fridge,…). Notice how it makes you feel,where it hits you in the body and in the spirit…

Then breath deep and look up. Feel the difference?

While it’s no substitute for Prozaac, most people find that when they do this, they feel more positive, centered and able to cope with whatever’s going on in their lives.

Why’s this work?

When we’re stressed, we breath in a short and shallow way. Breathing deeply and slowly triggers a mind-body connection saying “all is well”, and actually puts us in a better place, health and emotion-wise. Looking up seems to strengthen this reaction ( and when I’m facing challenges, I find looking up valuable for spiritual reasons as well…).

I like to think that we’re all hardwired with ways to change our beliefs, heal ourselves, find our centers and create our own best lives.

And, by the by, this technique is not just for the holidays, but works all year long. …

In any case, remember next time you’re feeling overwhelmed or down, breath deep and look up… and have a better day (or holiday).

Catherine

PS Just a thought- don’t do this in front of your bossy aunt Margaret, your boss or any other person that is contributing to stress you’re feeling. They will surely take it the wrong way and this is the path to more stress…

It’s Time to Give Thanks

Posted in Energywork, Living in a Magickal Universe, manifestation, Philosophy, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", "The Lands That Lie Between", Catherine, Foresight, Foresight Publications, gratitude work, manifestation, Manifesting Something Better, Thanksgiving, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on November 20, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

The year has just flown by!

And now we’re in the week of Thanksgiving, when most people are thinking about turkey with all the trimmings, and time off from work, and football, and those big sales on Friday

but it’s also good to use this day, and indeed this week as a chance to be aware of all that is positive, beautiful and blessed in your life. Everything from the obvious (your job, your health, the people you love) to the not so obvious (modern medicine, indoor plumbing, the fact that you live in a country where you are free to have different opinions from the people around you.)

Studies have found that positive thinking and focusing most of your attention on what is working in your life and good builds a stronger immune system and a more resiliant mindset, making you healthier and better able to adjust to and handle whatever comes into your life.

Metaphysical studies have found that when you focus a majority of your time and energy on gratitude for your blessings, you tend to attract more of them and other things that make you feel blessed into your life.

Surveys agree. Counting your blessings and giving thanks for them is a win- win situation. And lucky you! You have a holiday coming up that’s specially designed for that.

So, as you’re waiting in line to buy the cranberry sauce, or going through the circulars to get ready to start your holiday shopping, I’d advise you to give a moment to thinking about the blessings that are yours in your life.

and then, before you dig into that turkey on Thursday, give thanks…..

Reiki Live Tonight (Time Sensitive)

Last call - tonight (9/13/12), I’ll be appearing from 8-9 on Cauldron of Knowledge with Alexis Doyle on http://liveparanormal.com

The topic is Reiki, an alternative health method of Japanese energywork that is working its way into manistream medicine. Reiki’s good to support your body’s ability to heal itself, but it’s also got lots of other applications as well.

There are certain things about Reiki that are secret until you actually learn how to do it, but there’s a lot of interesting things about Reiki that are not secret, so this should be an interesting show.

Grounding Podcast ( Cauldron of Knowledge)

Posted in Alternative Health, Energywork, Living in a Magickal Universe, Metaphysical Basics, Metaphysical Protection, Schedule-Where To find us, tagged Cauldron of Knowledge, grounding, Grounding Podcast, Lexi Doyle, www.LiveParanormal.com on August 2, 2012 | 2 Comments »

In metaphysics, the term “grounding” can be used for a number of things. It can mean releasing or “grounding out” negative energy, whether it’s energy you’ve picked up from someone or someplace else, or negative energy that you’ve created for yourself. It can also mean “grounding” yourself by stregthening your energetic connection with the physical plane.

If you’re energetically sensitive, or if you work with energy (using magick, metaphysics, alternative health practices or other means), it’s important for you to know about both kinds of grounding.

We’ve talked a lot about grounding on this blog, and I’d like to give you another way to learn about this.

On August 11, 2011, it was my pleasure to appear on Lexi Doyle’s podcast, Cauldron of Knowledge, on www.LiveParanormal.com for a special two hour show. The topic was grounding, both grounding out negative energy and grounding yourself in the physical plane

If you missed the show, or if you heard it but would like to listen again, here’s the link

Happy listening

Dreams Checkpoint- Are You Moving in the Direction of Your Dreams?

Posted in dreams, Energywork, Life Mission, Living in a Magickal Universe, Metaphysical Basics, tagged "Adventures in Palmistry", Catherine, Foresight Publications, Life Mission, moving in the direction of your dreams, New Year's goals, The Practical Empath- Surviving and Thriving as a Psychic Empath on June 21, 2012 | 3 Comments »

Every year at New Years’, folks set goals for what they want to do with their lives in the new year. For many of us, that means good intentions that fall apart by the end of January.

Now, I’m fine with the idea of “lose 5 pounds” or “start walking more” that are the frequent flyers for new years’ goals; but I think that we can get more out of this if we set goals that are part of our Life Mission.

Everybody has a Life Mission- something we bring to the Party of Life that noone else can bring, and doing things that are part of that mission make our lives fun and beautiful and meaningful.

(For more information on your Life Mission, search this blog or click here and here and here to start out…)

So why am I talking about New Year’s goals? For two reasons:

One -Because we’re almost halfway through the year, and this is a good time to look at whether you’re actually moving in the direction of your dreams, as opposed to just beating out forest fires or doing the things that people tell you that you should be doing. What have you done in 2012 that feeds your spirit and is part of your Life Mission?

And

Two -because it’s a great time to climb back on that horse. Yes, I know that most people break those new year’s goals almost as fast as they make them, but just because you didn’t immediately succeed, doesn’t mean that you have to give up altogether.

Your dreams are important. your Life Mission is important. And it’s important that you do the things that feed your spirit and the spirits of those around you.

Almost halfway through the year, so what are you going to do?
