Sitting and Breathing is Epic
People are often uncomfortable with the big M . . . Meditation.
We presume this is a state of total thought-free freedom . . . and you must be doing it wrong if you catch yourself thinking (not true).
We then use words like Mindfulness to soften the concept.
This other M word can lend to the idea that simply being mildly conscious here and there through the day is fully doing the work. I have found that it doesn’t compare in the results though.
Decompress in Weird Ways
Last week, I saw the Pixar film, Inside Out 2, which I loved. The story highlights the good and bad aspects of anxiety in a unique and fun way, and got me thinking about my own mental mechanisms.
Life is stressful. We can’t really avoid that if we want to accomplish our higher goals, love people around us in their challenges, and stay healthy and secure.
In the film, the character of Anxiety is not inherently bad. She is even wise in some ways. She becomes a problem when she takes too much control or goes into overdrive.
Anxiety can be managed through direct practices, regardless of the problem that created the tension.
We all know about how breathing tricks, exercise, and getting enough sleep can help. But I wanted to share some more oddball ways of resetting the mind with the body.
Anxiety is a Beast: Tips to manage
This week, I had a little getaway planned with a group retreat. Sounds lovely, yeah?
Well, there was a snowstorm a few days before leaving. I only knew two of the 40 people going. I also had to put a lot of work on pause.
This combination created it’s own little perfect storm. Driving anxiety, social anxiety, and workaholic guilt all collided in my nervous system.
As many of us do, I wrestle with angst. Throughout my life, I have worked very hard to build tools to manage it that I want to share with you here.
When is it Intuition and Not Anxiety?
As an Intuition Coach who helps people harness their inner guide, I have to be a constant student.
This week, a bittersweet lesson reminded me of the additional benefits of this practice.
Halloween Costume Idea Generator
Halloween can be an opportunity to wear your own inner monster on the outside, or hang a mirror up to the monsters of society that need mocked. When we draw our shadows to the surface, we weaken their power over our subconscious.
How Not to Freak Out
When we pull a tarot spread, we are looking for comfort and guidance. We want to know what is going on and where this is headed.
When we read for ourselves, the interpretation is through the lens of the same anxiety that we sought answers from.
That’s why it’s important to remember the purpose of divination and the inherent compassion that the cards come from.
Or, to get a reading from someone who can bring objectivity to the situation.
