Retreat for Gratitude Challenge

Retreat is advancing forward when we focus on gratitude. Today I have gratitude for inner peace. I have been caught up in a whirl wind in my office. It looks like someone threw papers everywhere and left them there. It is going to take me awhile to clear the clutter. Half of the office is clean and neat and the other is in total chaos. Have you ever felt your life stuck in that in-between space of clearing the old and creating the new?

My favorite way to bridge this new world with the old is to think with gratitude for all the things that the old has blessed me with. This builds a strong foundation for releasing the old and opens the heart to trust the new that is formless and unseen.

Today I have gratitude for the trust that continues to grow within me allowing deeper and deeper inner peace.

What are you grateful for today? Leave me a message here on the blog. Each person who leaves me a message will be entered to win a free copy of Love's Secret to be given away at the end of the 30 day blog challenge.

Retreat from your life today and experience inner peace by setting aside 5 minutes to just be in the moment. Retreat is all about being present in the moment and feeling gratitude.

Retreat and Focus on Gratitude

Retreat from your life and FOCUS on Gratitude. I will be blogging for the next 30 Day blog challenge with Connie Green; I am blogging on Gratitude. Like many of us I have been getting my taxes prepared and looking at where all our money has gone. In addition looking at all the bills that are due this month including land taxes, insurance on homes, and cars; and decided to shift that focus. If we focus too much on bills we can create more bills. So I decided to start a Gratitude challenge and blog on what I HAVE GRATITUDE FOR. No sooner did I shift my attitude; I found two new testimonials on our fan page.

Today I my blog is focused on Gratitude for all the loving support in my life. First I want to acknowledge all my wonderful followers on my blogs, and here.

"As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I became civilized."
~Ohiyesa, Santee Sioux~

I am grateful that I can give with open arms and know that I am creating space to receive even more abundance. I am grateful for the abundant flow of money in my life.

I am grateful for my abundant opportunities that support my goals and vision.

What are you grateful for today?

Sedona Arizona is a wonderful place to retreat and focus on Gratitude. Spring is a great time to retreat and clear your energy and plant new seeds for what you want in your life. Sedona's weather is sunny and warm and in the 80's each day.

Retreat to Reconnect to Inner Happiness

Retreat is a great way to clear sadness and trauma and reconnect to inner happiness. Did you know that after twenty-plus years of research on antidepressants, from the old tricyclics to the newer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) show that their benefit is hardly more than what patients get when they take a placebo. More and more scientists who study depression and the drugs that treat it are concluding that antidepressants are basically expensive Tic Tacs.

Yet,the number of Americans taking antidepressants doubled in a decade, from 13.3 million in 1996 to 27 million in 2005. Many of our retreat guests are experiencing depression and many have been told they have an uncurable disease and that they need medication. There are many ways to combat depression and release it rather than using medication to suppress and numb emotions.

Here are tips to feel your emotions and find your way back to happiness and inner peace.

1. Clear your emotional plate daily. Don't stew on things that happen yesterday, last week or a year ago. It can become a habit to hold on to things and keep the kettle simmering. Create the habit of clearing whatever you are feeling. Most often the person who is depressed is holding on to anger and frustration toward themselves and others.

2. Journal to find out the emotions that you are holding. Emotions left over from child hood keep being recreated in your present day experiences. EFT and Reiki are great tools to clear toxic emotions and empower you to feel happiness and joy in the moment.

3. Exercise daily. Walk, dance, yoga are all great exercise that help to create happy endorphins. Choose an exercise that you can be consistent with. Occasionally go out side and get more sunshine. Vitamin D3 is the sunshine vitamin and is being show to help a wide range of symptoms including depression,osteoporosis, increasing the immune system, and to even cure and prevent cancer.

Depression -- or described another way, “unrepaired emotional short-circuiting” -- can cause far more profound negative health consequences than all the denatured food and toxins you expose yourself to daily. Every year, 230 million prescriptions for antidepressants are filled, making them one of the most prescribed drugs in the United States. The psychiatric industry itself is a $330 billion industry -- not bad for an enterprise that offers little in the way of cures.

Retreat is a great time to gain new emotional perspective; and empower yourself with tools to clear your emotional baggage from the past. You are then clear to welcome a bright new future of happiness and joy into your life. Retreat and Heal offers year round personal healing retreats that include EFT, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Yoga, Massage, and Meditation. Gift yourself time away from your hectic pace and Retreat and Heal.

Sedona Retreat offers Healing and Peace of Mind

Spring is the perfect time for introspection and spiritual renewal. If the economy has you down and you feel you can't spend the cash to get away to Sedona here are some tips to renew yourself without leaving home.

1. Purchase a journal or notebook. Spend time each day and determine what is working in your life and what you are ready to release.

2. Purchase a small green candle. Light your candle as you write in your journal. Set your intention to connect with your angels or guides (whichever fits your beliefs).

3. Shower each morning. As you allow the shower to cleanse your body. Set your intentions to release your stress from your body, mind, and spirit.

4. After your shower spend time practicing breathing and release your thoughts. As a thought floats in release it to your angels. Ask your Angels to assist you to quiet your mind and reach a deep meditative and peaceful place inside. Once you are in that very peaceful place visualize yourself happy and peaceful throughout your day.

5. EFT is a very powerful and simple way to release your stress and stuck emotions. Love's Secret is an award winning book that empowers you to apply EFT. Email me if you have questions regarding our Sedona Retreats, EFT or Sedona Readings.

Spiritual Retreat, Sedona Vortex Tours, and 2009 LOA Action Plans

Spiritual Retreat or a Sedona Vortex tour is a great place to create an action plan to apply the Law of Attraction for 2009.
How was 2008? What were your successes in 2008? Are you ready to apply the medicine of bear to hibernate and go within while creating your goals and action plan for 2009?

Have you ever wondered why you feel like hibernating during the winter time? For some areas there should be a natural hibernation to stay in read, write and go within to avoid the ice and snow. However in our society there is a need to keep going no matter what the weather is like outside. We are not allowed the luxury of hibernation that our natural rhythm may be driving us to experience. Are you curious about Animal Spiritua Medicine or Shamanic Journeys? Join me tomorrow as I interview Jerry Red Eagle, on Sedona Spirit Talk Radio. Learn what a Shamanic Journey is and how to connect with your spirit animal.

Bear medicine in the Native American Tradition is the ability to honor our natural drive to hibernate and go within to replenish ourselves. Bear medicine also gives us the strength to journey within and travel through the spiritual dimensions. In addition Bear medicine gives us the ability to face our inner deamons and inner fears. Bear is a gentle medicine but very stong and capable of disolving those inner fears that restrict our movement forward in our life. Bear medicine or the yearning to go within is a great time to schedule a spiritual retreat.

On Saturday I will be posting a video of a bowl burning ceremony to release the year and release the habits, conditioning and patterns that no longer serve your life. You can do this in a fire pit, bowl, or abalone shell. For today draw a large circle on a piece of paper write in the center everything that you want to have in your life. This can be things that are already present or things that you want to attract this next year. Then take a piece of paper and write down everything that you are ready to release. The bowl burning video on Saturday will show you the ceremony to release your fears and habits.

Contact us when you are ready to visit Sedona. We would love to be your spiritual guide and assist you to create the perfect spiritual retreat or Sedona Vortex tour.

Spiritual Retreats, Meditation and Spiritual Healing

Spiritual Retreats are a wonderful place to learn meditation and spiritual healing. Are you feeling overwhelmed with emotions and tasks to accomplish before the end of the year and for the holidays. Meditation is a wonderful way to release stress and bring yourself back to your center.

Today I want to talk about the butterfly and the medicine of the butterfly. The butterfly means transformation and trusting your spiritual transformation. At this time of year it is a good time to look at your accomplishments for the year and complete tasks. What are you ready to transform in your life? There is a lot of change happening all around us and it is important to trust yourself to change and unfold to your higher self. Take time to reflect and look at your life and what you want to keep and what you want to transform. At which phase of the butterfly are you? Are you the cocoon or ready to take flight and unfold your wings?

Many of us grew up not trusting life or ourselves to evolve in the most postive way. Do you expect positive outcomes or do you expect failure? Give yourself permission to evolve to a new level of yourself. Break through barriers that feel familiar but no longer serve you. Journal this week about your success for the year and your lessons that you are ready to release this year. On friday I will be sharing a process to release lessons and make your action plan for the new year.

Set aside time each day to breath and relax and release your stress. When looking at your holiday gift list give the gift of healing with our spiritual retreats.

Sedona Retreats, Spiritual Vortex Tours, and Shamanic Journeys

Sedona Retreats and Sedona Spiritual Vortex tours are a great place to experience the beauty of Sedona. Join me on Blog Talk Radio as we explain what a shamanic journey is and how to align with your spirit animals.

Take a look at the beautiful full moon picture submitted by Jinny. She will soon have her photos made into posters and will have them available for sale.

How do you find your spirit animal? How do you align with your spirit animal to break habits and release blocks to your power? First let's discuss the power of Crow. When you visit Sedona often you will see Crow everywhere. You might wonder what the bird is trying to say to you. Have you ever heard the clicking noise it makes in its throat? Often when I am working with our retreat guests the Crow will appear. Crow represents the laws of nature and it is a reminder that what we think about will come about. It is the essence of the law of attraction and cautions us of what we allow our thoughts to dwell upon. Crow also brings messages from spirit and is a reminder to clear away the self abuse we give to ourselves through our thoughts.

How do you use Crow Medicine? When you visualize Crow see yourself being able to see your fears and all the old thoughts, beliefs and conditioning from the past for what it is. Then realize that you have choice and can stop fear, worry, and anxiety by stopping your thoughts. Give yourself a visual that anchors in new thoughts and the feeling of being safe. Each and every time you stop your thoughts it gets easier and easier to stay in choice and change your thoughts.

Each day I will be blogging about different animal medicine and how to align with their medicine. Leave me a message and let me know how it is working for you.

Sedona Retreats and Sedona Vortex tours make a wonderful healing gift for yourself or a loved one. Let us be your spiritual guide to Sedona through our Sedona Retreats or Spiritual Vortex tours.

Spiritual Retreat offering Meditation, EFT, and Hypnotherapy

Sedona Arizona on your mind? Happiness and peace of mind something that you had but now find missing on a daily basis? Sedona is a healing oasis with beautiful sunshine and breath taking beauty.

Happiness is easy when the sun is shinning and we feel good. It can be hard to find the inner strength to be happy, in this economy and during this time of year. You can train yourself to transform sadness and anxiety into happiness and peace of mind. Press pause and stop feelings of being fragile, unstable and insecure. Choose to be happy by controlling your thoughts.

Start your day with 15 minutes of stillness in nature either in your mind or if possible in person. There is never a better time to begin than now.

* Stay present through out your day, recognize & acknowledge your emotional warning signals. Practice conscious breathing throughout your day and check in with your body. Most people are detached from their body and travel through their day on auto-pilot.

*Use your breath to keep yourself present and stop what you are doing in that moment. Your breath can stop your automatic stress response and stop your automatic response to your addicted emotional cycle.

* Breathe away negativity. Use your breathing as an anchoring tool to change your addicted emotions, and habits. You can choose to release the internal sensation of the experience of anxiety and overwhelm from your body. Your breathing facilitates the release of negative energy and keep you focused on love, success and inner peace.

Our years of experience teaching a facilitating personal healing and empowerment make us your complete healing destination. A spiritual retreat with us offers a safe place to meditate, and change your mind with EFT and Hypnotherapy.
