Spiritual Stress Management

-
Hello Fellow Travelers,
Surprise stress attack this week!
Not sure where it was coming from or why it was even there.
Anecdote or medicine?
Write it an unsent letter!
We did this in journaling class last evening and it was so helpful. I share this spiritual way to deal with stress here for you.
First and foremost, call out your Essence. You must first call out your Essence in order for this to work. Take a deep breath, focus on your heart or your core. Trust that your Essence is with you.
Second step. Get pen and paper and then write a letter to your stress. Name it, own it, claim it and just let it know how you feel about it. Tell it off, tell it like it is, tell it to go to...and/or ask it why it's there and what is it's point! Really what is the point of uncomfortable, frustrating stress?
There is a point to your stress. It is a message from your Essence. The point or reason varies according to you.
The message I got from my Essence about the stress I was experiencing was~ be introspective right now and value my desire to have peace and quiet. Do not say yes to anything unless I REALLY want to do it. There was more, but I hope you get the point!
The point is in order to come back to your delicious center and be held in the arms of your Essence, you might want to consider asking ~what is the point of any or all stress you are experiencing?

Stress is not the enemy, it can be your ally if you know the proper way to treat it. Call it out! Listen, let it be heard and respond by giving yourself whatsoever it is your Essence is telling you it needs.
Stress is a message from your glorious Essence. Don't just assume that though, use your pen/paper and call out the stress. Be heard!
Enjoy the process!
Have a blessed weekend.

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

Life is Messy I and II

Last week's message was about the messiness of life, the ups, downs, ins and outs. The minute you think you got it figured out, life will indeed give you something else. There is a lot going on out in the world and we are inundated with it on a moment to moment basis. It seems messier this week than last. What to do? I suggest you delve in and see where it takes you. First of all, what is messy to you?  You all have your own definition and I would encourage you to find yours and work with it. Messy to me is the opposite of harmony and peace. It is feelings as well as experiences of unrest, unease, discord, disharmony, etc. It's when I or someone I love or care about is hurt, upset or in trouble. Messy is witnessing or being on the receiving end of cruelty in words or deeds. I have experienced my share of messy situations, as has everyone alive today. I have been cleaning up messes since childhood. Not only cleaning up messes, but then striving to keep order of ...
