Here is a very simple thing that takes about 2 minutes that will leave your eyes feeling refreshed and soothed. We all know what it feel like at the end of the day, when our eyes are done with looking.... or at the beginning of the day, when they say to you "screw you, I'm not ready to open!" Sit for just a couple of minutes and try this. Imagine that there is a clock in front of you with all the number around the circle. With your eyes closed, start at the 12 on the clock and go 5 minutes at a time around the clock, spending only a a second or 2 at each number. 5, 10, 15, 20 ect, until you arrive back at 12. Go around 2 or 3 times. Be easy on your eyes, if they feel tired, go slow. When you have finished going clockwise, then turn around and do the same counter clockwise. When you are done, rub both of your together enough to create warmth, then place each hand on both of your eyes to sooth them with your warm hands. This is a good time to take a couple of deep breaths and thanks to your eyes for all the work they do everyday. Staying open even when you don't want to still be awake or seeing things you do not want to see. Also thanking them for all the wonderful things that they allow you to process and see with wonder. Before you open them, place a vision in front of you that make you the happiest. The beach, the mountains, your children, your lover, your dog/cat.... your favorite thing. Just appreciate the grace of them. Then open your eyes and be in your day with more clear vision and less fatigue. With Love, Christina Good morning. I am going to keep this simple. There is much information about this if you do your own research, but here are the basic tidbits about how to curb and sometimes halt your anxious feelings. So many of us, as we rush around in our lives, forget how to breath properly. I was speaking with a friend who was in one of my classes and he was talking about watching a baby breath. How they breath with their belly. If you watch a baby sleep, their belly will go up and down more than their chest. They are completely relaxed and remembering exactly what their bodies needs. For so many reasons as we grow older, experience more demands and let lives ride take us to a forgetting place, our breathing becomes halted, short and misplaced. With this very simple exercise you can ease uncomfortable feelings and detox your body of unhealthy gases that build up due to not exhaling completely before you take another breath. Very Simple: Stop what you are doing, so you can pay attention to exactly what you are doing. Start counting how long you are inhaling and exhaling. The secret is to exhale longer than you inhale. Count 1,2,3 to inhale and 1,2,3,4 to exhale. The numbers do not have to be exactly what I am saying, just as long as the exhale is longer. This will clear your body of pent up gases that get built up due to not exhaling properly. It is like a catch 22, we breathe wrong when we feel anxious and then the anxious breaths we are taking make us more anxious due to a chemical reaction. Try to do a total of 10 breaths and you should feel much better when you are done. In the future if this works for you, try to remember to sit down and fix your breath as soon as you feel a little anxiety, this will help you avoid full blown uncomfortable feelings of anxiety. Have a Happy Relaxed Afternoon. With Love, Christina
I hope you all have been enjoying the guided imagery meditations. I love doing them and so believe they are a very helpful tool to find health and happiness in our life. For me I use it in my daily life to resolve problems, get answers, make me feel better when I am sick and help me diagnose what is going on with my kids when they don't feel good. We where born with such an affinity to dream and create, lets call this our imagination. It is instilled in us through our parents, peers and media that it my be unhealthy or ridiculous to follow what we see and feel if it is not something that fits correctly into the box of prescribed life. We get clues... right? Our dreams, those thoughts that pop into our heads when we zone out, those feeling literally in our gut that direct us to do or not do things. Does all this make sense? Do you get afraid to listen? Do you think... Shit, I just had a crazy thought, where did that come from? Or, Wow that dream makes me feel something, maybe I should listen. I encourage you all to listen, feel, follow and be silent enough to hear your insides and greater self deliver the important information that is stored with in everyone of your cells. Watch for the next guided imagery in the next day or so. Please feel free to make a request for a guided imagery that would fit into your life. With Love, Christina
