Top Ten Ways to Heal Yourself

 

We are a wonderfully complicated, highly-developed multidimensional organism with great creative capability and adaptability.  We have the power to transcend and cope with the most difficult challenges and not only survive, but prosper.  All of these are qualities that produce self-healing, and also empowerment and personal development.

As we swing into this pivotal, intense, challenging year, here are my top ten ways to heal yourself as well as empower, develop and free your life to better create as you choose:

1.  BREATHE deeply, extensively every day by focusing wholly on counting ten, full, deep easy breaths to yourself five times a day.  When you’ve finished, continue for several additional breaths and say to yourself each and every time you inhale this phrase, “LET BE”; and each and every time you exhale this phrase, “LET GO”.

2.  Spend a half-hour a day doing something that gives you pleasure with no goal or expectation in mind.

3.  Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself squarely in the eye, and say, “I love and accept you just as you are.”

4.  Spend a half-hour to an hour or more five or six times a week moving your body extensively enough that you raise your heart rate and break a sweat.  Options can include walking, taking an aerobic exercise class, dancing, playing sports, swimming, skiing, skating, and many more fun activities, provided you enjoy yourself during and/or feel much better after.  If you’re not sure what you might enjoy or simply be willing to do, think back to how you liked to move your body during childhood or during adolescence, and try those activities again.

5.  Drink a quart of water a day – enhanced or not – your choice.

6.  Eat three or more servings of vegetables and fruit a day; two or more dairy servings, and 8 ounces of protein.  Give up alcohol and sweets entirely or reduce intake to once every week or two.

7.  Go through your bedroom, basement, house and get all the help you can and throw out/donate whatever you don’t use on a regular basis that you know in your heart of hearts you could well live without, and/or has no real meaning to you.

8.  Carry out a new year’s resolution to take a trip to a place you dream about this year.

9.  Spend five or more minutes five or more times a week for the next month recording your feelings without analyzing them, and then assess how your life is going, and how you’re doing as comparison.

10. Decide to forgive yourself for one thing you haven’t forgiven yourself for, as well as forgive someone else.

Today’s hot ten can be tomorrow’s powerful healing and taking definitive steps to being your own best self.  What do you have to lose?  Keep me posted on all your results from your own unique experiment to heal yourself – In light, Marjorie

You Can Extend Lifestyle Balance and Empowerment in the New Year

Magical Lists to Empower and Develop You

Years ago I developed a simple but transformational lifestyle-balancing and empowerment self-help journaling tool that centers around creating four categorized lists of ten daily accomplishments.  I still use it to acknowledge and honor my commitment and freedom to choose what uplifts and reminds me of what we’re here to do in this world, from a whole place of being and caring about ourselves and others.  I feel it offers its own magic to further signal the universe to extend opportunities for manifesting your dreams through right spiritual directives.

Want to try it?  Then ready, set, go . . . list . . .

Ten Times Four Equals Personal Transformation

Your Ten Successes

It could be getting out of bed in the morning, not to mention brushing your teeth, eating breakfast – anything that you really have the power to choose to do or not that betters you; or related to bettering, achieves/accomplishes.  Its very important to note that the subconscious does not place “lesser-greater” value on each item on your list.  NO comparisons here, which is a major breath of fresh air, given our conditioning, to find ourselves lacking by comparison at every turn.  Instead your subconscious accepts and affirms every item on your list as being equally great!

Ten Things You’ve Received

Could be a smile from a stranger, a pat on the back from you (hopefully!), or being named in your relative’s will - “big” and “little”, they equally and powerfully belong on this list.

Ten Things You’ve Given

To others, including your pet, the mailman . . . and your well wishes, whether it’s a thought, which is always telepathically transmitted, so pay attention to them and feel free to restructure them – it makes a huge difference.

Ten Things You’re Grateful for 

This might require some thought, which might lead you to realize how much you take for granted.  You can include what you’re grateful for in yourself, and what you’re grateful for having received in the past – that leads to the present.

You Can Lay Your Core Foundation to Create Your Dreams from Spiritual Balance

Four times ten equals forty – a powerful number.  That was the number of days Noah floated on an endless sea in his ark, trusting through God’s will, he, his family and all the representative wildlife afloat would survive.  That was how many years the children of Israel stayed in the desert, dying off to birth a new generation who only knew freedom with responsibility, not hopeless slavery.  Four in numerology is the vibrational frequency of laying a firm foundation through your own sustained, hard-working efforts from which all else follows; and the exponential increase times ten extensively and significantly completes that multidimensional spiritual foundation for you to launch your dreams. 

Success balances with receiving, which balances with giving, which acknowledges thanks.  Try my magic formula to get yourself and this transformational year off to a glowing, sustainable start!  Keep me posted on your results – I love hearing from you!

A Most Powerful Self-Healing and Intuitive Development Tool for the New Year

Bridging from One Intense Year to A Call for Right Direction

Happy New Year!  The holidays seem to have whizzed by like a hurricane, albeit happily – a wonderful one.  They offered, beyond the presents and extended celebrations, groundbreaking family news about my oldest daughter expecting twins next summer, recovery on other fronts from acute illness for myself and my son, and the sad death of a colleague after a long, courageous battle with cancer. 

I managed to do a fair amount of end-of-year reflecting this season in the wake of all the intensity, and what struck me about what I felt I newly relearned in 2008 were the following key truths:

1.  Life demands we live it on its terms.

2.  It is full of hard choices.

3.  When we commit to making those hard choices, letting go of any expectation or agenda, we experience core healing and development that lifts us into our next highest level of consciousness – in other words, we centrally transform and evolve as human beings.

The Real Path of Necessary Change

2008 was a groundbreaking, intense, pivotal year of hard-earned hope, exploding consequences/crises from longstanding poor choices, and a profound reality check.  2009 feels correspondingly different, and a continuation of all that broke open this year, with challenging opportunities to forge a real path of necessary change to reflect caring and accepted responsibility.

My New Year’s gift to you is a five-minute journaling and guided meditation process I call NoteTaking© that I invite you to try for the next thirty days as a transformational opportunity to heal yourself, build personal power, and clear internal space to allow your soul to profoundly guide you to achieve your dreams.  All you need is the willingness to commit to five minutes a day of uninterrupted reflective time, paper – ideally a pad or journal to keep your notes together – and a pen.  Here are the five steps for you to complete, each lasting one minute:

Five Steps to Transformation

Step 1.  Settle back, close your eyes, and take a couple of deep, cleansing breaths.  Then ask yourself the following question:  How do I feel? 

Step 2.  Open your eyes and record one or more feeling words as your response(s) to this questions, like scared, excited, happy, peaceful, etc.

Step 3.  Now pick just one feeling to focus on, and return to a deeper meditative state by once more settling back, closing your eyes, and taking several more regular, cleansing breaths.  Imagine you can easily and fully go into this particular feeling, wherever it exists inside you.  Observe any bodily sensations that occur, and notice your thoughts and where they seem to take you as you continue to listen, observe, and hold your focus.  When you feel a sense of completion for now, slowly and easily return to full waking consciousness.

Step 4.  Now open your eyes, and record your experience.  Feel free to draw as well, using crayons or colored pencils, which will further open your intuition. 

Step 5. Read your notes, and record any additional insights which occur.

Three Results to Become Your Dreams

Congratulations!  You have just completed NoteTaking© and experienced the three key results that will transform your life:

1.  You’ve centrally communicated to yourself that you’re worth five uninterrupted minutes a day, which recovers and rebuilds self-esteem.

2.  You’ve opened your innate intuition and insight and allowed it to keenly communicate to you, trusting in your power to guide and befriend yourself which directly moves you to make right choices to manifest your dreams.

3.  You’ve listened unconditionally to yourself and fully accepted your feelings, which in turn allows your feelings to express and release themselves for core body-mind-healing, empowerment and spiritual development.   

Keep me posted at marjorie@centeringtools.com on all your results, and have the 2009 you dream and are fully capable of!  Love, light and happiness - Marjorie
