Resetting My Values

Resetting My Values

Today I feel so much better not only physically but mentally. I realize that this sickness might also be an emotional and spiritual purge as well as mental and physical purging of toxins and impurities. It's as if my mind, body and soul needed a reset -- a reminder to love, nurture, heal and slow down and take each step mindfully again. This week's fable in Tori Hartman's "Chakra Wisdom Oracle Toolkit" is the less on of the "Carrot Coloured Cloak". This lessen is about a woman whose bright but tattered cloak represents her dreams and all the hard work and hard knocks that her dream has taken in order to be recognized. In the fable she gave up when things got hardest, just before her dream was about to be realized even though her guides, angels her version of Divinity were pointing her in the right direction. I see myself in this women. I admit to having thoughts of wondering what I'm doing it all for? Of questioning my path thus far. But I take this as a direct message not to stop pursuing my passions and to move ahead towards them whole-heartedly!

Recently I've been seeing repeating sequences of numbers for the past two years or more and now the frequency of these occurrences are coming to a fever pitch. I constantly see 11, or 111 or 1111 or 1010. I've also see 333, 33, 22, 222, 2222, 55, 555, 77, 777 and even 88 and 888. I looked up all of these numbers and read that they are angels, divinity, guides ( I like to think of them as angels or light-beings) communicating with me. I see the numbers on clocks, a lot, but also at other times like noticing the page in a book is 111 or 222, or looking down at a label and seeing the repeating numerals.  Sometimes the energies of the numerical messages will mix. I've been seeing a lot of 15,115,1515, 1212, 112 21, 212, 244 313, 113 and 1444. Most recently I have seen 44, 444 even more. Yesterday I went shopping and my grocery receipt was exactly $44.44. I looked up the numbers of various websites (listed below if you're curious) and I read that it meant that the angels are telling me that I've worked really hard thus far towards my goals and dreams and will see benefits from this work, but that in order to achieve my goals, I will have to continue working even harder -- probably even when it seems impossible not to give up.  This message rings true. There's a reason why when I looked at the number of page views on the first link, Angel Numbers - Joanne Sacred Scribes it read 172,977,764. I'm not alone.

Turning It Around

Turning It Around

Today I felt a definite shift in my energy levels. I was still really tired and had a lot of chest congestion but I felt more steady and sure. I went to the college campus today and took my math test but didn't do anything else. I decided to go home and convalesce, as well as take care of some much needed purging around the house. I feel like I really need to focus on me and my health -- regroup. Do some self-healing and energy work, lay in some crystal grids and drink crystal elixir, practice reflexology, acupressure, yoga and qigong to strengthen my body for the tasks and goals ahead. This Vata dosha balancing practice was just what the holistic doctor ordered.

Starting To Recover

Starting To Recover

Today's practice was another slow and easy one followed by a Triple Warmer acupressure point session. I'm giving myself the TLC that I need to recover and being gentle on my body. Plenty of rest is in order. It's time to take care of myself. Speaking of care -- I'm going to get some rest and crystal healing with amber and elestial quartz today and perhaps amethyst. Tomorrow I start my spring cleaning and Mercury Retrograde and the releasing energy of the full moon in Libra are a great time both to purge, reset and find balance.

Another Gentle Yoga Day

Another Gentle Yoga Day

So I needed another blissful yoga practice today. I'm still healing. I couldn't handle anything too vigorous, but I feel that I will be able to do so in the near future. Then I can resume my Yoga With Tim sessions. Today however, I practiced a brief but nurturing heart opening yoga by Caren Baginski. It was just what I needed. I've also been practicing self-acupressure to aid my body's healing practice. Of course I've been drinking plenty of water and trying to eliminate toxins from my body and strengthen my immune system. I feel like I am purging on a deep energetic level in preparation to move ahead to a newer, brighter future -- the beginnings of positive change.

Taking Things Slowly...

Taking Things Slowly...

It was one of those days where I had to drag myself out of bed to start the day. Again I diverged from Yoga with Tim's energetic session in favor of this gentle Vata-friendly session on the SarahBeth Yoga channel. I worked a half shift at work after taking cold medicine. I almost fell asleep 😴 in the Uber there, but I made it in one piece. Now I can chill out at the end if the day. I've got my herbal tea ☕ so it's all 👍 good.

Regaining My Balance...

Regaining My Balance...

Yesterday evening because I was bored after watching an entire K-Drama called "Best Lover" on Netflix, I decided to investigate my waning energy levels through the lens of Ayurveda. I believe the Universe and my guides led me in the direction in which over the course of investigating three different sites where I was diagnosed with three different doshas (the Ayurvedic descriptor for health profile). The three site I'm referring to are linked below just in case anyone wants to find out their predominant dosha. My second most prominent dosha was Kapha followed by an almost equal amount of Pitta. It was clear thought, that after taking the tests that my main imbalance in all three, even though I got varying mixtures of other doshas,  was Vata.  Vata imbalance is characterized by anxiety, being all-over-the-place, constantly busy and not always giving self-care and the list goes on. So I decided to practice balancing my Vata, which means establishing and regular bedtime and wakeup routine (I will try. LOL.), cutting refined sugars and processed foods (I've been doing that), meditation and pranayama (I've been doing that. Yay!), TLC. With that goal in mind I started decided my yoga practice today would be a 20 minute gentle ground sequence by Sarah Platt-Finger of Ishta Yoga. I will have to say that it really did help a lot. Now I'm going to take an aromatherapy bath and perform a self massage with oils before eating a nourishing meal. I am taking all this good advice to heart.

Rebuilding My Energy

Rebuilding My Energy

The hacking and coughing aside, I was really weak yesterday and so I'm taking it slow today and doing my best to practice nurturing and self-care. I think I got sick somehow on that 10 hour bus ride to SoCal either to or from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) convention. Then there's the abrupt weather changes from cold and rainy to sunny and bright, the not-so-healthy fast food at truck stops, and being crowded on a bus with at least 40 other journalism students. Of course this is also Mercury Retrograde season which decided that I needed to have my period throughout the SoCal trip and might have just decided that I needed to slow down and repair my body. Hey it's better to get sick during Spring Break than during the rest of the college semester. Maybe it's time to rest and regroup. If that's the case, I've got the message loud and clear!
