Hello Bright Light,
I’ve been thinking of you during these extraordinary and challenging times.
I hope you are safe and well.
If you are registered for the CLIENT BREAKTHROUGH SUMMIT, you’ve been hearing from me every day! If not, you may have noticed I haven’t been writing to my weekly eZine subscribers as often as I normally do.
My time and attention have been absorbed in the Summit, which will continue for the rest of the week with more interviews and a replay period. I’ve loved every minute of the Summit adventure and it’s also required much of my focus.
However, I took yesterday off for an At-Home Spiritual Retreat to renew, heal, and open to Divine Love and Guidance. I started the At-Home retreat by selecting a card from the card deck I’m still in the process of creating. The card I happened to choose is dedicated to the archetype of the Scientist & Mystic. The message on the card was:
Look Within (see card image below). This card is just perfect to set my intention to renew!
Next, I turned off my phone.
I lay down on my yoga mat for hours, consciously breathing and stretching. Drank lots of water, meditated for hours, listened to inspirational music, pulled out my bottles of essential oil for some aromatherapy, danced a bit, wrote and wrote in my journal, listened to the pouring rain.
And now, I certainly do feel different. Better!!!! I had no idea how much stress this body was holding until slowing down enough to feel it. Most importantly, I renewed my commitment to make Awakening my highest priority and to be an instrument of healing.
The Pandemic Effects we are all experiencing, each in our own unique way… some obvious and others more subtle, are STRESSFUL for us human beings!!!!!!
I share this glimpse of my personal retreat activities to encourage YOU to take care of yourself with even more love and kindness. Consider how you might create your own version of an At Home Self-Care Spiritual Retreat in whatever way would feel most nurturing and work for you in your circumstance.
Note: Although I practiced this extreme version of a personal retreat on this particular day, a shortened version can be very effective and used by you when you have less time.
Permission to stop doing, doing, doing and “Turn Within” can be greatly beneficial for our resilience and wellness cultivation any time, but especially during these challenging times!!!
One of the songs I listened to is called: Times Like These by the Foo Fighters. The chorus line really touched my heart. (see lyrics here)
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
This is my prayer for US…Humanity, that we learn to live, give, and love again in new and innovative ways working together for a sustainable future for all.
With Love,
Georgette
