Stress Coping Strategies – Lavender

Lavender for stress coping

When it comes to stress coping strategies, Lavender is my favorite essential oil. Aromatherapy is a very effective way to reduce stress – here’s why.

Have you ever caught a whiff of perfume on a breeze and suddenly been filled with memories of another time or place?

Aromas have the power to evoke distant memories of people and places because of all our senses, the sense of smell is most strongly linked to the subconscious. Scents are capable of producing immediate, intense responses because they are processed by the part of the brain that controls memory and emotion.

Just a quick whiff of lovely Lavender calms nerves, quiets anxiety and promotes relaxation. Heck, even visualizing fields of waving lavender flowers will reduce stress!

Not only is Lavender a beautiful flower used in a wide variety of products like soaps and lotions, it’s unique flavor makes it a popular addition to chocolate, cookies and jams. It’s also one of two essential oils that can be applied directly to the skin, without first being mixed into a carrier oil. I often use it as perfume, dabbing it on my wrists, behind ears and under my nose so I continuously breathe in all it’s goodness.

Lavender is so gentle you can add a drop to a baby’s bath to calm them and help them (and you!) sleep longer. For a soothing, relaxing bath, try adding eight drops of Lavender oil to a full tub, or four drops a foot bath. Spraying essential oil mixed with water adds a pleasant fragrance to the room as well as calming the nerves and promoting a sense of well-being in everyone in it.

You also may want to keep stress at bay by sleeping with a ‘dream pillow’ filled with dried lavender. Dabbing lavender on the soles of your feet will also promote deep restful sleep.

Give lavender a try, and it’s sure to become one of your ‘go to’ stress coping strategies!

My Soul Healing Results

Since I’ve begun offering Soul Realignment in the Akashic Records I find myself recounting my own personal soul healing success so often, I decided to dedicate a blog post to what it did for me.
What it did was nothing short of miraculous! It enabled me to leave a 31 year marriage to a narcissistic advanced alcoholic that I somehow had been unable to walk away from prior. I was able to release the karmic ties holding me to that emotionally abusive relationship and begin my life anew. A miracle!
Gratitude
That’s why I am so excited to be providing Soul Realignment as a service. It’s one of those rare modalities where the energetic shift can be felt immediately upon doing the clearing.
A soul realignment consists of me going into a client’s Akashic Records, creating a Soul Profile so they know exactly who they are on a soul level and what their gifts are. Then I look into their past lives and uncover negative choices that are preventing them from accessing those gifts fully, and continue to affect them adversely. Then I’m able to clear their karma at the Akashic level, which frees their energy and supports them in making new positive life choices.
I felt profound changes after completing my 21-day clearing ‘homework’ (a simple statement I read daily) I was amazed, because I’ve been teaching healing and spirituality for nearly 20 years and this new process allowed me to take it to a whole new level.
Soul Realignment work answers those burning questions, “who am I, what kind of work should I be doing, who are my guides, how can I achieve abundance” and much more, including questions about relationship issues. But it’s not just about discovering cool things about yourself, with this work you will have the knowledge and confidence to make life changing decisions and reap the rewards.
When you truly know what you came here to do, it’s so much easier to release what doesn’t serve that end! I can’t tell you the clarity I have received. Now I can focus my energy where I know I’ll get positive results, rather than have it scattered everywhere hoping something sticks! It has made a tremendous impact on me. If you are tired of doing your spiritual transformation work in the dark, let me shed some light!
Take this next step, and take a massive step forward in your life! Book your session today!
 
 

Remembrance Day Meditation

Remembrance Day Meditation

images On Nov. 11, 11 am, Canada takes a pause from technology and the busyness of life to remember those who shed blood in service to our country. If you are unable to attend a public service, or wish to honor them privately, I offer this Remembrance Day meditation.
Memorial Meditation
Start by turning off all distractions so you can direct your attention within. We will use a variation of the Heart Math institute’s Heart Breath for this meditation:

  • Find a comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Take a few deep breaths, breathing in for a count of 3 and out for 5 to center yourself
  • Once you’ve made this connection, direct your breathing to your heart center as if you could literally breathe through your heart. Begin to breathe Love in and out with every breath
  • Do this for several breaths, then focus on feeling GRATITUDE. Spend 2 minutes (or longer) sending your energy, love and gratitude out through your heart with each breath
  • Imagine the fallen receiving all this GRATITUDE
  • When you’ve completed your memorial meditation, gently bring yourself back into the room you’re in, and strive to maintain this feeling of gratitude throughout the rest of the day, truly appreciating all the freedom and privileges we enjoy today because of the courage and selflessness of those brave souls. Namaste
