Hello my love,
I hope this email finds you healthy, calm, and at peace in your life.
June’s Intention~
I would like to bring the intention of rest and gentle ease into our lives for the month of June. I want to express the value of deep, and radical, self care that includes napping, lounging, being still, sitting in nature, and doing much less than our minds try to convince us needs doing.
I know for some of us there are many responsibilities and we are limited in this arena. If this is your personal situation then I am speaking to you even more so. There is a great quote that says, ‘If you have time to meditate 20 minutes minutes a day then you should meditate 20 minutes a day and if you don’t have time to meditate 20 minutes a day then you should meditate an hour a day.’ :)
I think you get my gist. Those that don’t have the time to need it even more than those who have the time to. But we all will receive great benefit in this loving gesture toward’s ourself.
I invite you to shift your consciousness a bit and see this more as a lifestyle instead of yet one more thing you need to squeeze into your life; or change. Perhaps some of the following offerings will land for you. Have fun exploring all the ways you can live a more balanced, harmonious, calm, gentle, and peaceful existence.
~move slower throughout your day
~do less—it’s okay, I give you permission
~remove stimulants that speed up your biological/cognitive rhythm
~practice single-pointed tasks—remove multi-tasking
~play 432 Hz sounds/music in the background of your life and enjoy the healing, and grounding, benefits for your brain
~touch nature often—take your shoes off and stand in grass, sand, dirt, water and just be
~get outside and walk, hike, swim, bike—feel the sun on your flesh and drink in the benefits of Mother Earth
~eat foods that are conducive to a healthy lifestyle—remove stimulants, sedatives, toxins, sugars, gluten, processed foods, and packaged foods from your life
~change your scenery—go for a drive, get out of town, go to the beach, the mountains, the desert; find your True North
~drink a lot of water
~unplug from technology—select times to check in for work, or personal, connections and then go live your life without being connected to WiFi, bluetooth, EMFs, cellular…
~unplug from other’s energies as well; truly clear your field to live the vibration of your life and not that of other’s energies
~nap whenever you can and allow your body to truly rest—set an alarm for 20-30 minutes so that it doesn’t disturb your evening’s rest
~watch hummingbirds, lizards, butterflies, ants—slow down and observe your surroundings
~star gaze
~sun gaze
I could keep going but I trust these give you some ideas where you can find a deeper connection to your personal journey and discover more pockets in your life to simply be.
I look forward to hearing how this intention of slow ease sprinkled throughout your life feels for you.
