Self-Worth, Self-Acceptance, Self-Confidence, Self-Love, Self-Care…

and the big one, Self-Realization

These words buzz around, don’t they? They sound great.

I think sometimes the problem is that we don’t know the Self. WHO exactly are we accepting, loving, caring for? WHO do we want to have confidence in and trust? WHO is worthy of spending time Realizing?

When we meet that WHO, the rest is kind of a no-brainer.

Who we are beyond the mind, the problems, the busyness, the debt, the weight, the shame, the illness, the loss, the loneliness, the guilt… is Divine. Is Love. Is Freedom. Is Connection. Is Wholeness and Holiness. Is Beautiful.

Couldn’t you love and accept that? Wouldn’t you care for Her? Isn’t He worthy?

Here’s how to meet and get to know Who You Are every day:

• Meditate – It doesn’t have to be for 45 minutes twice a day. Consistency is what is effective. Every day. 5 minutes. Sit there. Breathe. 
• Feel – During a big decision, a joyful moment, a time of despair… feel the sensations in your body. Allow them to wash over and through, and guide and inform you.
• Move – Shake up the energy in the body daily. Walk. Dance. Rebound. Yoga. Boxing. Something.
• Laugh or smile –  Force it if you have to. The mind can be fooled by the body acting joyfully.
• Watch what you say – Especially negative things about yourself that start with “I can’t”, and anything starting with “I should” or “I have to”. Drop em.
• Watch what you think – When you feel you are not at peace, go back a few moments and investigate what thought process led to you losing your peace. Keep thinking that only if you want more misery. Have a homing thought that you can grab on to that brings you back in the right direction.
• List your gratitude – in your mind or on paper. Life Changing.
• Zip up – My teacher Henry Grayson taught me this energy saving technique. All you do is imagine a zipper that goes from your foot, up one leg and then up the center of your body to the top of your head. Grab hold of the imaginary zipper tab and pull it all the way to the top. Done. Great if you are someone who tends to lose themselves around others, in crowds, at family functions… or just before going to meet anyone especially draining on your energy (if you must).

Let’s do it together. April 24th I am guiding 7 women in supporting one another in Mind-Body Healing (in other words, finding who they really are and their inner Magic). We will go over these 8 daily practices, and more importantly do the preliminary work that makes them even easier – the energetic clearing of mental blocks and obstacles. Ready to Soar? Join us.
