Inspirational Quote
"In the midst of any kind of unrest ~ be it an argument, a traffic jam, a monetary crisis, or anything at all ~ make the immediate decision that you will find the calm centre of yourself."

Magic Beach Meditation
release your worries, like sands in the wind....Begin to quiet the mind. Do so now by starting to count your breaths. Pay attention to the length of the inhale and that of the exhale. Now breathe longer and more deeply. On the exhale, release anything you do not need ~ that which no longer serves you. On the inhale, breathe in crystalline light. Perhaps this looks like sunlight to you, or a radiant glowing light. Feel the light fill your body...and each limb. Feel this and see this...and now light fills every cell of your body. You are becoming more and more joyful, and at the same time, more and more relaxed.
Now zoom to any area of your body where you would like there to be more light. Know that this area of your body too is harmonious with light. Take some time now to more closely connect with this area.... What does it look like?... What does it need from you?... What feelings are held here?... Does this area of your body have a message for you?... Is it symbolic of anything happening in your life?... Allow this intuitive wisdom to come to you. The more you do this process the easier it gets. Does this area of your body have any other messages for you?... See light fill this area now, and grow more and more bright. See and feel this area of your body at ease.
Your body now feels so light and free that you begin to take a walk.... You see a spectacular beach in the distance in your mind's eye. The temperature is pleasant and you can feel the sand under your feet. The sun glitters off the edge of an object...you can't quite make it out yet. As you approach, you discover it is a colourful bucket. The sun catches again, and this time the glitter grows to a bright light, and before you stands an angel. The angel radiates love and well-being towards you, and tells you the bucket has a special purpose. The angel wishes to help you with anything that's been troubling you, anything you've been worried about. The bucket will be helpful for this too.
What is your biggest concern? Now state this clearly, out loud or to yourself if you like, and imagine yourself putting it into the bucket. Know that examining these thoughts, then letting them go will free you. What's next...what else is troubling you or are you spending excess energy on? Put it all in the bucket. It feels good to release this. Put as many things in the bucket as you wish. Whatever is left that doesn't feel joyful or harmonious ~ put it in the bucket too. You've now honoured these thoughts and let them go. It feels good to have a clear mind. You know these items are safe in the angel's bucket. The angel now touches the bucket and you see its contents turn to sand. You decide to dump out the bucket of sand on the beach, and to your delightful surprise it turns into a sand castle. You smile at having made something beautiful out of what was once mind clutter!
A gentle breeze sweeps in and grain by grain, the sand begins to blow away. You smile peacefully, relieved, knowing that nature is taking its course. The angel invites you to reconnect and use this bucket whenever you wish in your journey ahead. You are reminded how you are always lovingly supported.
Please keep in touch ~ it would be wonderful to see you soon for a treatment, class or event. If you enjoyed this meditation, consider joining us for our next Circle. I hold the intention of clarity, love and joy for all of you in the months ahead!

Natural Nutrition Tip
Omega-3s as Brain Food. Be sure to get an adequate dose of Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, which are critical for the healthy functioning of the brain.
They are found in oily fish like salmon, sardines, herring, and mackerel. Today's market also offers cod-liver oil supplements which are easier to swallow and which contain lemon to stop the fishy after taste (look for the terms 'pharmaceutical grade' or 'molecularly distilled' to ensure your supplements are free of ocean contaminants like mercury). Vegetarian sources of Omega-3 include: flax oil, hemp, walnuts, and algae supplements.
A good maintenance dose consists of 1 gram (or 1,000 mg) a day.
