Breathe out Stress/Breathe in Peace

First, Identify daily activities, situations or interactions where you think breathing ease and taking a quiet pause could be helpful. There are many situations that create stress in people’s lives that they take for granted because it seems normal. You can breathe ease in these situations and take charge of your energy. Here is a small list of important times for remembering to breathe ease. Before responding to a vexing e-mail. When overwhelmed with too much to do. While stuck in traffic and running late for an appointment. As your computer reboots. While discerning important issues or choices. When life’s challenges are coming in faster than solutions. When you get caught in other people’s drama and can’t leave the room (breathing ease can help you detach from the energetics and not get pulled in). During meetings – breathe ease for deeper listening, better comprehension, more patience and to stay emotionally poised. But if you lose your composure, breathing ease helps you re-center, especially if you get caught up in frustrations and judgments. After you learn to (meditate and?) breathe ease, you’ll find there are many situations where, while breathing ease, you can imagine that you are drawing in higher quality emotional attitudes which promote health, balance and self-security. Try breathing the feeling of nonjudgment, kindness, forgiveness, increased resilience, compassion, etc. Anchoring these positive emotional qualities has been proven to help transform stress on the spot, along with their wholeness health benefits.

Colds & Flu Season

Health professionals in 36 states have already reported widespread influenza activity. One way to protect your family (besides hand washing, hydration and diet) is with the use of Essential Oils. I make chest rubs, diffuser blends, inhaler blends, bath salts and more, to help keep your immunity up, as well as comfort measures if you do get sick. I personally love using inhalers for sinus issues, as well as travelling to keep the cooties at bay. Wishing you wellness in 2018! Love, Barbra
