Mind, body and spirit group

[Leigha]

Good morning group!!

CH- thank so so much for the reading - you are truly talented!! I'm definately going to follow your advice!! As for sleeping - I did pretty well last night (hee hee) woke up this morning at 11am. DH went to work at 8am and the alarm wasn't set..... I love Sunday lie-ins. I had some really interesting dreams (I dream A LOT!! I keep an online dream journal for them- which is fun, and easier for me than writing everything down) I think I must have been going through some kind of healing on a spiritual plane.

As for phase 1, it COULD be going a lot better than it is- I just have to try harder and rememebr that every day is a new start

Welcome Katharine

Hello Katharine

If I was a Reiki ll I'd offer you some distance Reiki to try and help your condition but that won't be for a little while yet.

However, you can definitely help yourself. For years I liked to give, give, give to other people....readings, time, compassion, caring....it is very draining if you don't look after yourself! When working with energy you have to learn to ground yourself and to protect yourself...as a sensitive you will find your energy being literally drained like leeches are attached.

I can send you a guided meditation...pm me your email address if you'd like it. It is very short but great, I use it all in time.

Katharine-

A new flow of support is coming to you right now. Ask the angels to help you release fears about scarcity so that you can enjoy this increased abundance.
Your messenger angels announce the arrival of an inflow of abundance coming your way. At some level you had faith that the Creator would supply your needs. Your faith, even if it was small, triggered the abundance that is manifesting for you right now. Keep your faith, as it will ensure a steady supply of support, materially, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. A wonderful affirmation to help you stay the the stream of a steady flow of abundance is:

I accept good graciously into my life. All my needs are met for me abundantly now and always.

Keep smiling!!
Leigh

Good morning Leigha,

You are very welcome, I enjoyed reading for you.

I had a strange night as I kept jolting awake for the first couple of hours seeing and feeling things around the room....then I fell into a deep, deep sleep until 9.30am. WOW!!

My husband cooked us a SB breakfast....bacon, eggs, beans,mushrooms....wonderful!!

I'm having a read about Chios healing....you're a busy girl! Are you attuned to it or will you be?

I need to do my crystal homework for my course next weekend.

Happy Sunday.

[Linni]

Good Morning All......I feel like I just landed where I belong! I, too, "believe" that there are things that can't be scientifically proven, but are out there and should be untilized. I have a friend that is a Reiki Master, and I've never had a session. I do believe its time, my butt is dragging, and I'm not resting well, I feel like my body is humming from stress...yep its definitely time. Its also time I delved into crystals and stones...I'm very attracted to a light amber colored stone....very, very drawn to it...actually bought a bracelet just spur of the moment at a "fair" because I couldn't seem to walk away from it. No matter where I went in the room I gravitated back to it.(Can anyone give me the correct name for it? and or point me to a crystal with similiar qualities?) I will be checking out the links that every one provided...thank you thank you!

[ch34]

Hello Linni lovely to meet you

Do have a session with your friend! When I've had sessions with Reiki masters it has been wonderful....the energy is so much stronger. Hopefully I'll be getting a little Reiki from a master next weekend during my crystal course. I like the mix of Reiki and crystals it softens the energy but intensifies it at the same time....sits well with me.

I think your stone may possibly be carnelian? Here's a few pictures, colours vary so it's best to look at a few:

If not then perhaps it's citrine but that is a very washed out more yellowy colour generally in bracelets.

I love that the stone chose you that's how it happens!

[ch34]

Leigha,

You mentioned somewhere that you kept a dream journal online. I think that's a great idea....I tend to write only the ones that are very vivid but I could do with looking at my wacky night dreams a little more closely. Is it a private journal you use or one specific for dreams?

[Linni]

Oh My CH34, I do believe it may be citrine...thats the color that seems to be the closest, anyway I don't know how "authentic "the stones are I believe they are ... man made but it just doesn't matter I guess. I came to that conclusion a long time ago...it actually sits on my dresser rather than in my jewelry box...so I can just pick it up and hold it when I pass by.....strange right? I enjoyed the websites you gave me ...need to go back and do more nosing around! Thanks sooo much.

Anyone have any suggestions for the best way to meditate? I keep saying I'm going to seriously do it but when I start I seem to lose track of my concentration....

How about Yoga...both my daughter and I would like to participate, theres no classes being offered within a 50 mile radius...any that we could afford anyway.

[ch34]

Hi Linni,

Do you mean they are man-made crystal (grown) or just beads? If they are just beads it could be the colour you are being attracted to....beads don't have the vibrations of crystals.

For instance I was very attracted to orange for a couple of years, then red....now I'm not especially attracted to a particular colour but I can see in hindsight why I was needing those in my life. I wore clothes of that colour, ate more foods of that colour and even bought a car (red)...all subconsciously.

Meditation was difficult for me too until I discovered guided meditations....it took a while to find a voice I particularly like but I can easily meditate that way....I'm sure I will move on eventually to my own meditations with just some music but like you I lose concentration.

Yoga is best practised with a teacher because you don't want to injure yourself but there are some Yoga DVDs that you could try.

CH-

That MUSt be the current exitement I'm feeling:wink

Linni-
A very warm welcome to you!!
As CH says, if it's not a real stone, but just a coloured bead it may simply be you're needing to work with that colour, or more specifically the solar plexus chakra. Do you know anything about the chakras? If not, here's a bit of info for you that I put together-

Linni-

Here's a simple colour meditation you can try. If any of the steps confuse you- jsut give me a shout and I'll explain further.

COLOUR MEDITATION
Colour meditations are a great way of balancing chakras.

This is how I do mine;

1.Slow down vibration
2. Bring down white light
3. Root myself in
4. 'Pull' the colour I'm wanting to work with through my 'roots'- imagine it as a liquid- into my feet, up my legs.... up, up until it goes through my head and out the crown, almost like a fountain. Then I feel the colour flowing down over my skin into the ground, the excess being absorbed by the Earth again.
(Sometimes the colour will get 'stuck' in a certain part and I leave it there for a while, imagining and feeling it as vividly as I can, until it's absorbed enough and the flow continues).
5. I make sure I'm grounded again before coming out of the meditation. bring my thoughts back to the present and make sure those roots are rooted!! (I've found that if I come out of this too fast, I get VERY dizzy)

[ch34]

Thank you Leigha fascinating dream about the fur....and unraveling should have thought the Ace Swords could have referred to your being cut open

The meditation looks great tooo....I think I could concentrate long enough for that one by myself.

[Katharine1229]

Thank you Leigha and CH for your support and your reading. I am a very sensitive person to others around me so it is very hard to ground myself, I know its a problem I have to work on. I'll be back in a bit..hehe

[ch34]

Leigha I have joined the dream journal site and put my last nights dream in - great resource.

[ch34]

Katharine, meditation was sent....enjoy and use it!
