NEVER GIVE UP

When facing adversity, sadness, feelings of depression, being overwhelmed, loss of hope and feelings of aloneness - how long do you suffer in silence before you seek help? When friends or family give you advice or words of comfort, do you allow those words to resonate within your soul or do you discard them? I am here to comfort you to say that you are definitely not alone. The sad thing, there are too many people suffering in silence.

I have been there myself carrying the depression, sadness, loneliness and honestly just wanting to give up. I have been there so many times in my past, the weight on my heart and soul was so heavy. After the last time that I had my heaviness, I begged God to take me home. When this happened, I knew I needed help. I reached out to my spiritual teacher who recommended a friend of hers for me to go see. I knew spiritually within my soul this was the right course of action versus seeing a therapist. Once I met him, I felt great comfort and was able to talk to him and he helped me discover so much about myself that I wasn't even aware of. We had a reiki session, and it help me release so much of the pain that I was carrying. I continued to see him a few more times and I do believe this healing therapy guided me to be who I am today in my role as a Reiki Master Healer. I chose to do the homework he gave me and chose to change my attitude, thoughts and feelings. The biggest thing I need to stress, you have to be prepared when you do seek help, to do the work. I know of two people who I see that no matter what advice I give them they are choosing to see the darkness and not the light. They choose to not want to do the emotional work. It all comes down to choice.

So if you are feeling at a loss, please reach out and know there is help. Life is hard but we can choose to move into the light and give ourself permission to heal.

HEALTH

I have discovered more about myself lately due to the fact that I had been ill with covid and lung infections for 3 weeks. I had experienced loneliness, isolation, tears and frustration. I could have continued focusing on all that was going wrong but I decided that was enough and find out the true cause of why this was going on. I am one to believe that when we get sick, there is always a spiritual reason for this occurrence. I feel I got covid as I needed a rest. Alot had been going in my life in the month of December and leading into January. My body said enough, and I had to rest. I then researched why the lung issues. The spiritual meaning I found in my healing books was that I was carrying grief and sadness. Now I had to sit and really think about that. I discovered when I started to journal about it that my body was right! It made so much sense when I looked back on my life and all that happened and all that did not happen for me that I hoped would have. Once I recognized the reason, my healing speeded up.

The other thing I discovered, was I needed to reach out to my friends and ask for help. I couldn't continue on with the way I was feeling emotionally and bless my friends who called me every day. They were a lifeline for me. I also asked Spirit for help as I couldn't clear my driveway through the snowstorms we were having. My neighbours automatically came to clear my driveway several times. I felt truly blessed.

So I suggest to you, when you are not feeling well or going through some emotional problems, you are not alone. Reach out to people and ask for help and ask Spirit as they are always present to want to help us on this journey.

Many blessings,

NIGHTLY RITUALS

There is a magic to our evenings before we shut off the lights and wait for sleep to fall upon us. It holds us for a beautiful chance for gratitude and blessings.

Show gratitude and compassion to yourself for the person you were. Send love into the future for the person who are becoming.

It also allows you to let the past have its place and to trust the future is taken care of.

Take the last few moments to write in your grateful journal of the blessings you witnessed, felt, experienced and enjoyed. It is an amazing way to fall asleep with feeling grateful and the way you wakeup is the way you fell asleep.!

Live with a grateful heart, your life will be so much more enriched.
