Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast.
(00:04):
It is a rainy Wednesday here today and I am loving it.
It's gonna help our grass to grow.
It's gonna help soak the grounds that we don't have to worry about wildfires.
And it's gonna make my cows very happy and my horses.
(00:26):
We are pretty much done.
caving, I only have three more left.
One for sure, Krystal.
She's taking her sweet time, not sure why.
She's looked ready for a while now.
I'm just gonna go out one day and she'll just be hanging out with her baby like, hey,
all's good here.
(00:50):
And then I have two more.
One of my highlands who is not looking ready at all and another one who might be starting
to get there.
Not sure what happened there.
Maybe she was pregnant and then something happened.
She got pregnant again.
I don't know, but I'm very happy that the majority is done and it's so cute out in my
(01:15):
pasture.
It really helps to ground my energy and makes me smile all of the time.
And I was out this morning in the rain doing chores.
I was doing laughter yoga in the pasture because I was very, very happy.
It was delightful.
(01:38):
My dog thinks it's so much fun.
She thinks we're playing when we're doing it and we are.
It's great.
And so how is everybody holding out?
There's still so much uncertainty in the world.
It's an interesting time to be here, isn't it?
We're definitely brave souls for choosing to incarnate at this time if that's one of the
(02:03):
things you believe.
Sometimes I think, "Huh."
What were we thinking?
But even with all the chaos and sometimes drama, it feels like there's still all the really
good things.
And let's remember to also give those as much energy.
(02:25):
It's interesting because I've been getting nudges from some of my crossed over loved ones
lately.
One of them helped me figure out a solution to a problem I was having at the time.
And I was like, "Geez, thanks buddy.
I appreciate that."
And then my dad nudged me to go look at something and I'm like, "Ooh, do I really want to?"
(02:51):
And he wouldn't let up.
He kept encouraging me and I did.
What I found out was interesting and it was definitely for my self-preservation.
We'll call it.
He obviously felt I needed to know some things so that I could have context and a deeper
(03:16):
understanding of some family situations and while it isn't comfortable, I do understand
that knowing the truth of everything is important to me.
And so getting these nudges and following them, like we talked about on this podcast before,
(03:42):
it's not always the most comfortable or joyous.
Sometimes it's an adventure in learning and soul growth and we can get triggered and
we can get upset.
But it is an opportunity for us to work through things and then see where we end up.
(04:08):
The one that a relative helped me with was absolutely amazing.
So I was in Canmore in the mountains with some amazing people and I wanted a restaurant that
had outdoor patio seating and I knew in my travels that day that my husband and I
(04:31):
had seen one but you think we could figure out where it was?
We were lost quite a bit of the time but that's okay.
We were having fun.
And we had walked around and we just went back to our car and I grounded my energy and
we sat and then I got a nudge from my uncle Lyle and he's like, it's this one and I'm
like really?
(04:52):
And so I looked it up on my phone and it was like across the back alley away and sure enough,
it was the one that I was looking for and I was like, thanks buddy, I am grateful
So sometimes it's a nudge in a way that helps solve problems and you're all happy about
it and sometimes it's a bit of an adventure.
(05:13):
It's all experiential.
We're definitely having lived experiences for a soul growth and that's probably why we're
here.
It was totally entertaining.
the Canmore adventure was delightful, I did end up having to leave early though
because I had one of my cows, one of my little Highland speckle park cows, Tessa
(05:40):
had her baby and the baby came out crinkled and so she must have just
ran out of room and so it did straighten out right away.
So that was good but then he was kind of big and he just was a little confused and we had
to help him figure out how to get a drink and eat but it all worked out.
(06:01):
And I was thinking as we were driving back so I missed out on a couple days of fun but
I was thinking it's all about perspective though isn't it?
I could have been upset and ranted .... why can't I have a vacation....
You could go down those roads blah, blah, blah, blah and have all that negative talk or
(06:24):
I could look at it as you know what, this cow needs me.
I've committed to this, I love her, I'm just going to go home and take care of it.
My kids were home in charge but they're both working very long hours because they're both
in agriculture jobs right now, they're not getting home till just
(06:44):
before dark and they have to leave right away the next morning early and for them to do
the things that needed to get done it would have been trickier and it would have stressed
them out. and so as you know unfortunate as it was that I had to cut my holiday short it
was okay.
(07:07):
And I think one of the things we need to look at in our lives is when these things happen
we need to find a way to make peace with it and that it's okay.
The universe is not working against you.
Things just happen and we can handle them mad and raging and be really upset about it
(07:32):
or we can find a way to ground and just deal with it.
Because one thing I do know is if we're a setting or creating drama or being involved in
drama it can block our intuition or not have our intuition as clear as we would like it
(07:56):
because we are in these emotional states and so we want to regulate ourselves.
You know that I preach about regulating our nervous system it's what I love laughter yoga for
And I'm going to say that my perspective on it wasn't that it was a negative thing that
(08:20):
I had to cut it short it just happened and I needed to deal
with it.
It's interesting we're given all these opportunities for learning and soul growth and sometimes
we handle them gracefully and sometimes we don't. neither way is wrong.
(08:44):
It's okay to make a mistake it's okay to think wrongly about something it's okay to have
an opinion it's all okay.
Sometimes our opinions and our mistakes have consequences we don't like but at the end
of the day we're learning and growing and what I also know is that everything we do we
(09:07):
do have a reason no matter what it is. it is still there and so this is where having self
awareness so that you can have that emotional intelligence to understand why
you're doing what you're doing so that you can move forward in a way that's good for you
and not sabotaging but we do all of it we're human it's part of the deal.
(09:35):
It can get interesting definitely interesting but my short time in Canmore was delightful
even if I was lost sometimes. We had a really fun thing the next day that we
were doing and I was looking forward to it the people I was with were delightful but you
know what it's also okay stuff happens and you know I chose to be a cattle rancher and
(10:02):
with that comes responsibilities and I have to just accept that but I do I accept that very
willingly because Tessa is doing great and that little baby is doing great oh my gosh he is
just so funny.
When I left him out of the corral because we had to keep him in for a few days to make sure
he had figured out this eating situation because sometimes they're just born not so smart and
(10:27):
they need a little help and when I let them out, oh my gosh they ran around they were so
happy he raced around the pasture with his mom and hot pursuit to make sure he stayed out
of trouble. He was meeting other cows making friends with other babies is so cute so very
cute I do love my ranching lifestyle it definitely helps me stay grounded and so with that
(10:54):
I'm going to encourage you to pay attention to what's going on and how you're handling
it and can you switch your perspective? perspective is becoming more important for us to be aware
of for our own personal sense of well-being, and our own peacefulness and that doesn't
(11:18):
mean that we're not going to get emotional, mad, angry, upset, crying, sad all the things absolutely
feel what you feel process it and then work through it and see what you can learn from
it feel what you feel know what you know see what you see heae what you hear be who you are.
(11:42):
When I did get home and we were taking care of stuff and then I got behind on everything
else and I could have put a lot of guilt or shame on myself for not having a podcast done
for not doing this, not doing that. not getting this done. not doing that but really does it
help me? No, I just made a list and I just let go of anything that wasn't urgent and wasn't
(12:09):
needing to be taken care of right in that moment so basically I let myself off the hook
and I do feel we need to do that to ourselves more often , Remember 2025 we are being
kinder to ourselves but then the self-doubt can creep in and just acknowledge it and then move
(12:31):
forward if you're getting caught up in some of the drama and the chaos that's going on find a way
to ground yourself and shift your energy , I was feeling some stuff from some people and I had to
sit myself down and say yeah this isn't my energy and do a really big negative energy clearing on
myself probably because I was out and about and it's not anything I did wrong or it's not
(12:58):
anything is sending to me specifically just being a people in this world right now we can pick up
things energetically and we need our tools to clear them I carry smoky quartz and shungite a lot
(13:20):
I do feel like we need to slow ourselves down sometimes
and give ourselves a bit of a break. feel what we feel, process it but be kind and compassionate to ourselves.
(13:42):
life is bumpy. its just how it goes. so the meditation I have for us today is a relaxation
meditation I did this with my seniors, oh my gosh, afterwards we all just felt so zen
so peaceful , we were like oh man this is so nice and so I'm sharing that one with you today which
(14:12):
I'm delighted by
The laughter yoga exercise I want to do with you today I'm going to invite you to put your hand
on your heart or both hands whichever feels comfortable for you and then want you to take a nice
breath in hold it hold it hold it and hold it and release
(14:35):
your hand on your heart take a nice breath in hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it and
release one more time and still in your heart take a nice breath in hold it hold it hold it hold it
hold it hold it hold it and release now I want you to think about somebody you love
(14:59):
and with your hands on your heart I just want you to take a breath in and send them loving energy
and then breathe out ready hands on your heart think of somebody you love
(15:22):
nice let's do it again you're breathing in and then you're sending them loving energy as you breathe out
and let's do it one more time breathing in
it's going to be a loving energy as you breathe out
(15:43):
nice
and now for ourselves let's take a nice breath in
and then let's totally fake laughter it out
and again nice breath in
(16:09):
and fake laughter it out
laughter
if it turns into real laughter that's cool one more time nice breath in
and laugh it out
nice
(16:36):
we just need to shift and ground our energies
and don't forget to always practice the I am amazing you are amazing we are amazing
anytime anywhere that is one of my favorite pasture ones
yep
and so as we continue on this journey
(17:06):
and life throws unexpected curveballs as well as unexpected blessings
I hope you're able to stay grounded and I hope you're able to be you,
and if somebody is messing with you or somebody is doing things and they need to be told to stop
(17:30):
please don't hesitate
if it feels appropriate. you know with people being edgy and stuff we have to be aware that we may need
to pick and choose our battles but sometimes they do have to happen,
sometimes I don't love the whole we have to always be kind
(17:52):
we need to be kind but we also need to be protecting our own boundaries
and protecting our own peace and sometimes that means saying things or having a discussion
or perhaps even having a fight and raging you know what's appropriate do what you need to do
(18:17):
my cautionary part is to make sure you're picking and choosing your battles
not everything has to be a battle and make sure you know you're why
so that you can move forward in a way that gives you a firm foundation.
you know why you're doing it and you feel strongly that this is what has to happen
(18:42):
because some people are just mad with the way things are going and lashing out
and you don't want to do that you want to have purpose.
A purpose when you're mad. I hope that makes sense
I'm just seeing a lot of unsettled energies and you don't want to invite something accidentally
(19:03):
you want to be able to get your point across and rage if you need to
but make sure that you're staying safe while you're doing it I guess is my point because we're in a very
strange time it's just how it is and so yeah I'm talking about raging and getting that all out
(19:23):
and then we're going to go into a relaxation meditation oh life is an adventure you guys
I hope you get to see it that way more often than not all right so let's go ahead and start our guided imagery
come into a settle and be at ease let's take three big deep breaths
(19:52):
(20:18):
nice one more big deep breath and allowing your eyes to close if they haven't
already and in your own timing
begin to imagine a wave of comfort starting at the tips of your toes and moving all the way up
(20:42):
to the top of your head and then back down again to the tips of your toes
this wave of comfort again moves from the tips of toes all the way up to the top of head
and on the exhale it moves all the way back down again to the tips of your toes
nice each time the wave of comfort moves up the body and back down again the vibration from the wave
(21:17):
becomes stronger and stronger sending deeper and deeper comfort and again breathing in from the
tips of toes all the way up to the top of head and back down again on the exhale moving even deeper
and deeper into comfort allow this wave of comfort to cycle around for a few more moments
(21:43):
until a feeling of being completely and totally at ease. breathing and being
being and breathing giving yourself this gift of this time and space
being and breathing breathing and being. nice
(22:11):
and one more time breathing in from the tips of toes all the way up to the top of head
and back down again on the exhale as you move even deeper and deeper into comfort
and now this wave of comfort will continue to work positively, comfortably even when we count
(22:35):
backwards now from 5 to 0 in just a moment and when we do there's going to be coming an even more
comfortable energy in your entire being at 5 and now it's flowing 4 3 2 1
(23:05):
0 deeply deeply relax deeply relax and now that you are settled comfortably
as you're just breathing and being being and breathing nothing else to do except for listening to
the sound of my voice and even when you drift away you will come back to it
(23:30):
this will be an opportunity for you to become even more comfortable and to experience a relaxed
state very easily and very gently and very comfortably
and as you rest you can begin noticing the feelings and sensations in your body
(23:56):
just notice some of the sensations that you can be aware of right now
for instance as you keep listening to me you may become aware of the sensations as you breathe
noticing for example that the sensations are different when you breathe in and when you breathe out
(24:22):
just notice these feelings as you breathe in and breathe out and fill your lungs
breathing and being being and breathing and now I'd like you to concentrate particularly
(24:44):
on the feelings in your toes and feet just allow all the muscles and fibers in your toes and feet
to become very deeply relaxed perhaps even picturing what that would look like
for all those little muscles and tissues to relax loosely and deeply
(25:06):
allowing yourself to get the kind of feeling you have when you take off a pair of tight shoes
that you've had on for a long time and you can just let go of all the tension in your toes and feet
and feel this lovely relaxation energy spread
enjoying and relaxing, relaxing and enjoying
(25:33):
and now imagine that this comfort and relaxation is beginning to spread and flow
like a gentle river of relaxation upward through your ankles and all through your calves
letting go of all the tension in your calves allowing them to deeply and restfully and comfortably relax
(25:59):
and allow that comfort to continue blowing upward into your knees and behind your knees
and through your knees and into your thighs letting go of all the tension in your thighs
perhaps once again imagining what that might look like
(26:26):
for all those large muscles and tissues to become soft and loose and deeply relaxed
already noticing that sense of gentle heaviness in your legs as they just sink down
(26:46):
limply and comfortably
and continue to allow that comfort to flow and spread upward at its own pace and speed
into the middle part of your body, flowing into your tummy
through your hips and into your lower back
(27:13):
letting that soothing deep comfort spread inch by inch through your body spreading from muscle group
to muscle group
gradually progressively flowing into your chest into your back between your shoulder blades
(27:42):
and into your shoulders just allow all the tension to loosen and flow away
as if somehow just the active breathing is increasing your comfort
as if somehow every breath you take is just draining the tension out of your body
(28:07):
taking you deeper and deeper into comfort with every breath you take
and allow that comfort to flow into your neck and throat
perhaps imagining once again what that would look like
for all of the little fibers and muscles in your neck and throat to deeply
(28:30):
softly comfortably relax
nice
let this relaxation sink deep into your neck releasing all the tension
and then we're going to allow it to gradually flow up your neck
(28:52):
up into your scalp all out across your scalp
as if it's just bathing your head with waves of comfort and relaxation
and that relaxation can flow down into your forehead and like a gentle wave
(29:17):
down across your face into your eyes your cheeks your mouth and jaw
allowing those tissues and muscles to drop down slack and relaxed
and now allow that comfort to flow back down your neck
(29:41):
and across your shoulders and down into your arms
letting that comfort flow down your arms through your elbows through your wrists
through your hands and fingers right down through your fingertips
letting go of all the tension and tightness letting go of all the stress and strain
(30:07):
letting go of all your worries letting go of all uncertainty all through your body
letting it all go from every cell in your being
giving your body the gift to rest and relax
nice
(30:31):
I'm just gonna let you soak that in for a few moments this energy of being
rested relaxed and at ease
Feel what you feel.
(31:00):
And now you've had this chance to relax. You know what it feels like to experience this
(31:22):
lovely, deep, soothing, calming, rejuvenating relaxation. I want you to know that you can feel
this relaxed again and again whenever you want. You can simply shut your eyes and remember
(31:43):
this feeling of deep relaxation whenever you want to enjoy the same energy and feeling
again. Feel what you feel. Nice. As every cell of your being is enjoying this relaxation,
(32:12):
we are going to gently and easily and feeling rejuvenated, rested, relaxed. Come out of this
journey. At zero, reinforcing all the positives you have received at this time. And now at one,
(32:35):
with a big, deep, cleansing breath in and release. As you bring back what's been helpful and
important to you from this journey today to realizing your body, secure and comfortable
(32:57):
in every way where you have placed yourself, the room you're in, enjoying a wonderful sense
of well-being, feeling more alert and away. And now five, eyes open wide awake and alert,
one, two, three, four, five, eyes open wide awake and alert. How are you all feeling now?
(33:26):
Do you feel all zen after that lovely guided meditation? Oh, I do. So I'm wondering with my
connection to my crossover loved ones being so strong right now and they're definitely sending
me messages often. How are you all doing with that? Are you getting messages from your crossedover
(33:47):
loved ones? How is your connection? If you're not and you would like to, do reach out and we'll
do a soul session and we'll explore making that happen for you. Thank you all for listening.
I appreciate you and I'm sending you all a great big hug and blessings.
(34:10):
And lots of good juju for good things to happen to you in the coming weeks.

they need a little help and when I let them out, oh my gosh they ran around they were so
happy he raced around the pasture with his mom and hot pursuit to make sure he stayed out
of trouble. He was meeting other cows making friends with other babies is so cute so very
cute I do love my ranching lifestyle it definitely helps me stay grounded and so with that
(10:54):
I'm going to encourage you to pay attention to what's going on and how you're handling
it and can you switch your perspective? perspective is becoming more important for us to be aware
of for our own personal sense of well-being, and our own peacefulness and that doesn't
(11:18):
mean that we're not going to get emotional, mad, angry, upset, crying, sad all the things absolutely
feel what you feel process it and then work through it and see what you can learn from
it feel what you feel know what you know see what you see heae what you hear be who you are.
(11:42):
When I did get home and we were taking care of stuff and then I got behind on everything
else and I could have put a lot of guilt or shame on myself for not having a podcast done
for not doing this, not doing that. not getting this done. not doing that but really does it
help me? No, I just made a list and I just let go of anything that wasn't urgent and wasn't
(12:09):
needing to be taken care of right in that moment so basically I let myself off the hook
and I do feel we need to do that to ourselves more often , Remember 2025 we are being
kinder to ourselves but then the self-doubt can creep in and just acknowledge it and then move
(12:31):
forward if you're getting caught up in some of the drama and the chaos that's going on find a way
to ground yourself and shift your energy , I was feeling some stuff from some people and I had to
sit myself down and say yeah this isn't my energy and do a really big negative energy clearing on
myself probably because I was out and about and it's not anything I did wrong or it's not
(12:58):
anything is sending to me specifically just being a people in this world right now we can pick up
things energetically and we need our tools to clear them I carry smoky quartz and shungite a lot
(13:20):
I do feel like we need to slow ourselves down sometimes
and give ourselves a bit of a break. feel what we feel, process it but be kind and compassionate to ourselves.
(13:42):
life is bumpy. its just how it goes. so the meditation I have for us today is a relaxation
meditation I did this with my seniors, oh my gosh, afterwards we all just felt so zen
so peaceful , we were like oh man this is so nice and so I'm sharing that one with you today which
(14:12):
I'm delighted by
The laughter yoga exercise I want to do with you today I'm going to invite you to put your hand
on your heart or both hands whichever feels comfortable for you and then want you to take a nice
breath in hold it hold it hold it and hold it and release
(14:35):
your hand on your heart take a nice breath in hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it and
release one more time and still in your heart take a nice breath in hold it hold it hold it hold it
hold it hold it hold it and release now I want you to think about somebody you love
(14:59):
and with your hands on your heart I just want you to take a breath in and send them loving energy
and then breathe out ready hands on your heart think of somebody you love
(15:22):
nice let's do it again you're breathing in and then you're sending them loving energy as you breathe out
and let's do it one more time breathing in
it's going to be a loving energy as you breathe out
(15:43):
nice
and now for ourselves let's take a nice breath in
and then let's totally fake laughter it out
and again nice breath in
(16:09):
and fake laughter it out
laughter
if it turns into real laughter that's cool one more time nice breath in
and laugh it out
nice
(16:36):
we just need to shift and ground our energies
and don't forget to always practice the I am amazing you are amazing we are amazing
anytime anywhere that is one of my favorite pasture ones
yep
and so as we continue on this journey
(17:06):
and life throws unexpected curveballs as well as unexpected blessings
I hope you're able to stay grounded and I hope you're able to be you,
and if somebody is messing with you or somebody is doing things and they need to be told to stop
(17:30):
please don't hesitate
if it feels appropriate. you know with people being edgy and stuff we have to be aware that we may need
to pick and choose our battles but sometimes they do have to happen,
sometimes I don't love the whole we have to always be kind
(17:52):
we need to be kind but we also need to be protecting our own boundaries
and protecting our own peace and sometimes that means saying things or having a discussion
or perhaps even having a fight and raging you know what's appropriate do what you need to do
(18:17):
my cautionary part is to make sure you're picking and choosing your battles
not everything has to be a battle and make sure you know you're why
so that you can move forward in a way that gives you a firm foundation.
you know why you're doing it and you feel strongly that this is what has to happen
(18:42):
because some people are just mad with the way things are going and lashing out
and you don't want to do that you want to have purpose.
A purpose when you're mad. I hope that makes sense
I'm just seeing a lot of unsettled energies and you don't want to invite something accidentally
(19:03):
you want to be able to get your point across and rage if you need to
but make sure that you're staying safe while you're doing it I guess is my point because we're in a very
strange time it's just how it is and so yeah I'm talking about raging and getting that all out
(19:23):
and then we're going to go into a relaxation meditation oh life is an adventure you guys
I hope you get to see it that way more often than not all right so let's go ahead and start our guided imagery
come into a settle and be at ease let's take three big deep breaths
(19:52):
(20:18):
nice one more big deep breath and allowing your eyes to close if they haven't
already and in your own timing
begin to imagine a wave of comfort starting at the tips of your toes and moving all the way up
(20:42):
to the top of your head and then back down again to the tips of your toes
this wave of comfort again moves from the tips of toes all the way up to the top of head
and on the exhale it moves all the way back down again to the tips of your toes
nice each time the wave of comfort moves up the body and back down again the vibration from the wave
(21:17):
becomes stronger and stronger sending deeper and deeper comfort and again breathing in from the
tips of toes all the way up to the top of head and back down again on the exhale moving even deeper
and deeper into comfort allow this wave of comfort to cycle around for a few more moments
(21:43):
until a feeling of being completely and totally at ease. breathing and being
being and breathing giving yourself this gift of this time and space
being and breathing breathing and being. nice
(22:11):
and one more time breathing in from the tips of toes all the way up to the top of head
and back down again on the exhale as you move even deeper and deeper into comfort
and now this wave of comfort will continue to work positively, comfortably even when we count
(22:35):
backwards now from 5 to 0 in just a moment and when we do there's going to be coming an even more
comfortable energy in your entire being at 5 and now it's flowing 4 3 2 1
(23:05):
0 deeply deeply relax deeply relax and now that you are settled comfortably
as you're just breathing and being being and breathing nothing else to do except for listening to
the sound of my voice and even when you drift away you will come back to it
(23:30):
this will be an opportunity for you to become even more comfortable and to experience a relaxed
state very easily and very gently and very comfortably
and as you rest you can begin noticing the feelings and sensations in your body
(23:56):
just notice some of the sensations that you can be aware of right now
for instance as you keep listening to me you may become aware of the sensations as you breathe
noticing for example that the sensations are different when you breathe in and when you breathe out
(24:22):
just notice these feelings as you breathe in and breathe out and fill your lungs
breathing and being being and breathing and now I'd like you to concentrate particularly
(24:44):
on the feelings in your toes and feet just allow all the muscles and fibers in your toes and feet
to become very deeply relaxed perhaps even picturing what that would look like
for all those little muscles and tissues to relax loosely and deeply
(25:06):
allowing yourself to get the kind of feeling you have when you take off a pair of tight shoes
that you've had on for a long time and you can just let go of all the tension in your toes and feet
and feel this lovely relaxation energy spread
enjoying and relaxing, relaxing and enjoying
(25:33):
and now imagine that this comfort and relaxation is beginning to spread and flow
like a gentle river of relaxation upward through your ankles and all through your calves
letting go of all the tension in your calves allowing them to deeply and restfully and comfortably relax
(25:59):
and allow that comfort to continue blowing upward into your knees and behind your knees
and through your knees and into your thighs letting go of all the tension in your thighs
perhaps once again imagining what that might look like
(26:26):
for all those large muscles and tissues to become soft and loose and deeply relaxed
already noticing that sense of gentle heaviness in your legs as they just sink down
(26:46):
limply and comfortably
and continue to allow that comfort to flow and spread upward at its own pace and speed
into the middle part of your body, flowing into your tummy
through your hips and into your lower back
(27:13):
letting that soothing deep comfort spread inch by inch through your body spreading from muscle group
to muscle group
gradually progressively flowing into your chest into your back between your shoulder blades
(27:42):
and into your shoulders just allow all the tension to loosen and flow away
as if somehow just the active breathing is increasing your comfort
as if somehow every breath you take is just draining the tension out of your body
(28:07):
taking you deeper and deeper into comfort with every breath you take
and allow that comfort to flow into your neck and throat
perhaps imagining once again what that would look like
for all of the little fibers and muscles in your neck and throat to deeply
(28:30):
softly comfortably relax
nice
let this relaxation sink deep into your neck releasing all the tension
and then we're going to allow it to gradually flow up your neck
(28:52):
up into your scalp all out across your scalp
as if it's just bathing your head with waves of comfort and relaxation
and that relaxation can flow down into your forehead and like a gentle wave
(29:17):
down across your face into your eyes your cheeks your mouth and jaw
allowing those tissues and muscles to drop down slack and relaxed
and now allow that comfort to flow back down your neck
(29:41):
and across your shoulders and down into your arms
letting that comfort flow down your arms through your elbows through your wrists
through your hands and fingers right down through your fingertips
letting go of all the tension and tightness letting go of all the stress and strain
(30:07):
letting go of all your worries letting go of all uncertainty all through your body
letting it all go from every cell in your being
giving your body the gift to rest and relax
nice
(30:31):
I'm just gonna let you soak that in for a few moments this energy of being
rested relaxed and at ease
Feel what you feel.
(31:00):
And now you've had this chance to relax. You know what it feels like to experience this
(31:22):
lovely, deep, soothing, calming, rejuvenating relaxation. I want you to know that you can feel
this relaxed again and again whenever you want. You can simply shut your eyes and remember
(31:43):
this feeling of deep relaxation whenever you want to enjoy the same energy and feeling
again. Feel what you feel. Nice. As every cell of your being is enjoying this relaxation,
(32:12):
we are going to gently and easily and feeling rejuvenated, rested, relaxed. Come out of this
journey. At zero, reinforcing all the positives you have received at this time. And now at one,
(32:35):
with a big, deep, cleansing breath in and release. As you bring back what's been helpful and
important to you from this journey today to realizing your body, secure and comfortable
(32:57):
in every way where you have placed yourself, the room you're in, enjoying a wonderful sense
of well-being, feeling more alert and away. And now five, eyes open wide awake and alert,
one, two, three, four, five, eyes open wide awake and alert. How are you all feeling now?
(33:26):
Do you feel all zen after that lovely guided meditation? Oh, I do. So I'm wondering with my
connection to my crossover loved ones being so strong right now and they're definitely sending
me messages often. How are you all doing with that? Are you getting messages from your crossedover
(33:47):
loved ones? How is your connection? If you're not and you would like to, do reach out and we'll
do a soul session and we'll explore making that happen for you. Thank you all for listening.
I appreciate you and I'm sending you all a great big hug and blessings.
(34:10):
And lots of good juju for good things to happen to you in the coming weeks.
