Childhood Memories Yank the Heartstrings

My first baby doll

Memories Live in Our Hearts

Childhood memories and mementos. We never know what items and memories from our past will be useful for keeping track of and keeping close to our heart. Some will stand out as truly significant and can when we recognize their profound effect on our well-being. On the other hand, we may find out that what we thought was important is something that bogged us down and got in our way of moving forward.

I discovered in my journey down memory lane that there were a few items and recollections that I needed to let go. But I’m blessed to say that the vast majority were happy and pleasant, and I see them as important to hold in my heart.

Childhood Memories and Mementos Don’t Just Live in Boxes; They Fill Our Hearts

My visit with my Minnesota family is continuing to pull on my heart strings even when I’m back at home. The mementos that I brought back with me are probably a big part of that!
But there is one particular item that I opted not to bring home with me that darn near brought me to tears. When I opened one of the boxes that my mom had hauled down from the attic, I discovered that it was full of dolls and stuffed animals, some of which were in pretty bad shape. It was sad to let them go when I had just rediscovered them. But my first baby doll was a keeper. Her face and eyes were even perfect. I set her aside to so I could pack her into a box for shipping. But I had a rude awakening. When I picked her up to wrap her for packing, she started falling apart in my hands.

Acupressure points to help with transition

Do you have anything you are ready to let go of but you could use some assistance in doing so? Here are a few energy balance points that can help you create new patterns and new ways of doing and being.

  • Hold little fingers
  • Cup right hand over left shoulder,
    Hold left hand at left groin area
    Then sit on left hand (still holding shoulder)
  • Cup left hand over right shoulder
    Hold right hand at right groin area
    Then sit on right hand (still holding shoulder)

To make that transition an easier one by releasing the tension around the old pattern (e.g., throat tension and jaw tightness, “holding” the breath)

  • Right hand – cup sternum directly below clavicle
  • Left hand – hold fingertips in a vertical pattern below the navel

Enjoy your journey down memory lane!

ARE YOU HUNGRY FOR CHANGE?

Autumn leaves change is in the airARE YOU HUNGRY FOR CHANGE?

There’s a reason if you are noticing that you are searching for something to make different. Autumn is the time of year when everything around us is changing, so we subconsciously mirror that pattern and the desire to be in that pattern. On top of that, the bodies we live in are all about change. There is no part of us that likes to be stuck whether we’re looking at our physical, mental or emotional bodies.

GETTING READY

So put it all together and the question is, “Are you ready for the change that is probably coming your way?!?” To create readiness for transition, it’s a necessity to not be holding onto blocked, stuck energy. I would like to share a few simple energy tips to help you more easily step into what you want to do:

  1. Cross your arms and hold your elbows or upper arms. Yes, it’s the first step of the Daily Clean Your House Flow and is all about opening up breath. AND it’s an energy balance area that connects with the energy that allows for all parts of you to be ready for transition
  2. Continue holding your fingertips on one of your elbows and with the other hand, hold the opposite inner thigh or knee. This energy movement will help you step INTO the transition – whatever it looks like for you and your world.
  3. Then move the hand that is on the inside of your knee to the outside of the knee. You are now holding an energy balance area that is all about rhythm and strength. In other words, being grounded and balanced so you CAN let go and do all you want to do.

YOUR JOUNEY TO YOUR DESTINATION

These energy tips will help prep your body AND help you be in a state of conscious awareness and mindfulness. When you’re grounded and energetically balanced, ALL parts of you will be along for the ride and you’ll discover your journey is a whole lot easier than you even expected.
Listen to the recording of my teleclass that happened on August 26th. It’s all about opening up the flow of energy so you can be the creative being you are meant to be.
