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.

Spring Cleaning with a Spiritual Retreat in Sedona

Ready to do some spring cleaning? Sedona is the perfect place to spring clean your body, mind, and renew your spirit. Juyean came for our three day personal healing retreat and was more than pleased with her results.

Here are some tips for spring cleaning your mind and clearing habits that no longer serve your life.

1. Create a balance wheel and take a look at how balanced your life is. What needs to shift? You have to look at what you want to change then create habits that support the change you want to maintain.

2. Meditation is a great way to get in touch with your inner voice and inner wisdom. Meditation can help you to clear your inner chaos and create a quiet mind. Our favorite meditation at Retreat and Heal is a walking meditation at the Tibetan Stupa. Meditation is easier if start with an active practice like yoga, tai chi, or even walking. Next sit, for at least fifteen minutes and concentrate on your breath.

3. Visualization is next on the list for creating what you want once you have cleared your mind. Tear pictures from a magazine and post them on your vision board. Put pictures that represent your dreams. Next create an action plan to create what you want. Spiritual Life Coaching is a wonderful way to create your action plan and put it into a manageable plan to make it reality.

We look forward to meeting you in Sedona and hope that you will allow us to assist you with your spring cleaning in Sedona.

Sedona Vortex Video, Our New President Obama and What is your Service Commitment for 2009

President Obama has just been sworn in and we have a new president. Yesterday, I watched Oprah as she called for each person to commit to being the change we want to see. What is your commitment to be of service in 2009? Here are some small changes that we can all make that will create the change we want to see.

1. Hold a vision of what you want. Just like our new President hold a reverence for word. Choose the words that you hold in your mind and the conversations that you have with friends, family, and work comrades. Make your words positive or stop the conversation.

2. We can be the change we want to see and create ripples of peace worldwide. Remember the song let peace begin with me. Create peace where ever you go, lend a hand when you can, smile and meet someone's eyes and send love. Our world is in the process of change, you have the choice to participate, or watch.

3. Respect yourself, our environment, and our brothers, and sisters. Do no harm, take no more than you need, recycle and clear your clutter. Stand in your power and spread love, peace, and laughter, where ever you go. Lighten up and laugh at yourself and life. Laughter is healing share it often.

Check out our Sedona Talk Radio and listen to our Let your Light Shine in 2009. Hope you will leave me a message about your commitment for 2009 to be the change. If you are in Sedona we hope you will allow us to be your Spiritual guide to Sedona.

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.

Sedona Retreats, Holiday Secrets for Happiness and Success

Sedona Retreats are a great place to clear away the patterns that might be blocking your flow of money. Today I was reading a book that was given to me by a friend. The book is "Inspiration Sandwich" by Sark. It is a great little book of inspiration with stories to inspire our creative freedom. Here is one of my favorite stories about money, belief, and creation.

"Years ago, in the Bahamas, I had no money, and was tired of sleeping in the lounge chairs by the pool. I went to one of The Big Hotels and asked to see the manager. I told him that I would like to babysit or teach swimming in exchange for a room. He just looked at me, and then reached into a drawer, took out a set of keys and putshed them across the desk. He said "Take these. I was young and broke once too." The keys opened the door to a pent house on the top floor. I lived there for a month.

How many times do we get in our own way when we get inspiration? Rather than act, we explain it away by saying that we don't have the money, time, experience, talent, too old, too young, etc. Inspiration and direction come to us often, but gets lost in old belief patterns and lack of action.

Practice listening to your inspiration and putting it into action. What are you afraid will happen if you do? That you will fail or succeed? Write me a note and let me know what happens when you follow through with your inspiration. Remember Sark says that Impossible means I'm possible. Plant all your impossible seeds, and dreams and see what blooms!

We would love to be your spiritual guide to Sedona. Let us help you plan a retreat for yourself or gift your loved ones with a spiritual retreat!

Sedona Retreats, Thanksgiving, Dyan Garris and Chakra DVD's

Spiritual Retreats are a wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving to clear and charge your energy chakras. Today I will interview Dyan Garris for her blog tour and have her share with you about her wonderful and powerful new Chakra DVD's. Visit Dyan's website for a free angel card reading. Read to the end for a special Thanksgiving Blessing Ceremony.

Please explain in layman terms what the chakra system is and how does it affect our health?
We have our physical bodies, which we are very aware of because we can see and feel them. Then we have our chakra system, which is not separate from the physical body, but may seem that way to us because we cannot “see” it the way we see our physical body. The chakra system is contained in the auric field - our energy field - which is part of our physical bodies. Our aura is what surrounds our physical bodies. Imbalance, based on our feelings, belief systems, and our thought patterns, begins outside the physical body and filters in through the chakra system and eventually becomes disease in the physical body.

An example of this would be someone who is very afraid of getting cancer. If they get up every morning and think this fearful thought, and they believe it, eventually it’s going to become a physical reality. Our thoughts are very powerful and form definitely follows thought. Our thoughts go up and out into the other realms and return to us as form made manifest.
If a person has been conditioned to be very fearful how does that affect their chakra system?
Our belief systems shape who we are and how we act and what we think. These are our foundations in this life. Combine a fearful underlying belief system with fearful thoughts, send those out to the universe as truth, and they are going to eventually bounce back and return to you. And when they do, they are going to filter in first through the energy field, the chakra system, and then into the physical body as the truth that you firmly believe that they are. This is the basis of “attracting.”

What do you recommend to release fear and learn to trust?
To release fear and learn to trust, it is necessary to first examine why you are fearful in the first place. You have to get to the very root of why. Do you feel abandoned or unsafe? Ask yourself who taught you such things. You didn’t come in here knowing anything about fear. It was taught to you. And then be willing to let go of whatever it is. Fear is an illusion based on a belief system that isn’t the truth.

How does music clear our chakra system?
Every note, every tone, corresponds to a particular chakra and has the ability to open and balance that chakra. When you put certain notes together in a certain sequence that you know is attuned correctly to each chakra, you then have the ability to clear all of the chakras with music. It’s sort of like fine tuning an instrument.

This is part one of Dyan's Interview I will post the second part tomorrow.

Here is a special Thanksgiving Ceremony. Thursday is a new moon and a great time to write your goals. Write down your goals that you want to accomplish by the next full moon.

Spiritual Retreat, Yoga, Stress Management and Peace of Mind

Sedona is a beautiful place for Spiritual retreat and spiritual rejuvenation. With the state of our economy many more are feeling stressed. Today I am sharing another interview with Gurutej regarding stress management through yoga, meditation and breath awareness. One important tip that doesn require money is to spend time in nature watching a sunrise or sunset--read and practice the letting go ceremony below the interview.

Our retreat guests seem to lead very busy lives, how much time must be set aside to practice your DVD’s in order to benefit? An hour but you can keep yourself juicy during the day by using the energy flip charts so you do go days or weeks without the energy you need to stay connected to you and therefore everything else.

I blogged recently about an initiative passed by the Canadian Diabetes Association for health and wellness. It asks Canadians to get moving, eat well, and practice stress management. How do you feel that someone who has diabetes would benefit from your DVD? It will get them moving but moving intentionally. It will get them to integrate their energy. Diabetes is a grief-induced disease. Grief takes your power away. These will give it back to you. The Awakening intuition has a bonus section that gives women tips on how to eat for women, how to eat correctly on your cycle etc.

Meditation has recently become one of the top ten practices for stress management. What is the best tip you can give to someone wanting to begin meditation? No better time to start than now. Sit in a chair or on the floor or couch with your back relaxed but not slouched. Give yourself three minutes and start with a sound. Create Maaaaaaaaa or Hummmmmm. Just do it, breath into it and you will see. Start with 3-7 minutes and expand from there. Make it enjoyable so you will come back not excruciating.

Any other tips or secrets for stress management that you would like to pass on to my readers? 40 years rolled into 10 seconds. Go to http://www.theenergyguru.youtube.com/ and watch these 1-2 minute videos. They will give you a little slice of what you can have and learn about how to uplift your life. That is really what these DVD’s are about how to change and uplift your life so you have the energy and clarity you need to fulfill your destiny.

Here is a special ceremony to practice as we end 2008 and prepare for 2009. Go into nature, and watch the sunset. Write down everything that you are ready to release. As the sun sets visualize, and feel gratitude for releasing the past. Release judgement of yourself and others, forgive yourself and others. Now hold your vision of the future that you want to see. Feel how good it feels to embrace this new future. In our Sedona retreats we have a special fire pit for our letting go ceremony.

Sedona Retreats for Peace of Mind

Sedona is a little quite these days. It seems that since the election that everyone is waiting to see what happens next. Are you looking for new ways to release the stress you are feeling over the future?

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

Maria Robinson

Since the aftermath of the Secret, What the Bleep, The Opus and other inspirational movies many have been forced to accept responsibility for their life. Just like the economy, our government is being forced to take responsiblity for blunders and greed that has been denied for years. The first step toward moving forward, is to clear all the creations that you have begun and acknowledge where you are, then you are empowered to move forward to where you want to be.

Take time to clear your home of all things that have no meaning or inspiration for you. When you look around make sure that everywhere you look there are things that you love that fill your environment. If there is artwork, clothes, or clutter in your environment, take time to give it away. A Sedona Retreat is a great way to spend Thanksgiving, leave me a message or give me a call if you need assistance in planning a special Sedona retreat.

The theme this month is gratitude and Thanksgiving. See how much gratitude you can spread to the people around you for the remainder of November. If there is someone that you know that doesn't have family near, spend time with them before or during Thanksgiving.

Energy Medicine, EFT, Feng Shui, Reiki through Spiritual Retreat

Energy Medicine was announced by Dr Oz on Oprah as the medicine of the future. Today I want to talk about EFT, Feng Shui, and Reiki and how they can enhance your health.

First let's discuss Feng Shui. Feng Shui is the energy medicine of your environment. If the energy is balanced and harmonius it builds health in your body. If it is out of balance it drains your body of health and energy. The first rule of Feng Shui is clear clutter and make sure that everything in your environment is something that speaks of harmony and balance. My favorite book on Feng Shui is Feng Shui for Dummies. Take a look at it and let
me know what you think.

Tomorrow I will talk about Reiki and EFT and give you some tips. Meanwhile leave me you questions of Feng Shui and Energy Medicine.

Meditation, EFT, Spiritual Healing, and Inner Peace

Meditation and EFT can bring spiritual healing and inner peace through spiritual retreat. The fear about our future is so thick right now you can feel it everywhere. Many of us experienced this kind of fear on a daily basis as a child and have become immuned to the feeling. Yet, fear creates stress in our body, mind and spirit. It is a feeling of always being on alert without a pending threat to our life. This feeling floods our body with toxic chemicals that weakens our immune system and causes our mind to be cluttered. Follow these three steps to clear your mind and strenghten your immune response.

1. Determine the best way to clear your mind. There are many effective tools to meditate and create a clear mind. The most effective meditation, is one that is practiced on a daily basis. My favorite technique is to practice yoga for fifteen minutes then sit and follow my breath. Alternate nostril breathing is very effective in balancing the right and left hemisphere of the brain and deepens the feeling of relaxation.

2. Practicing Reiki self healing has been a favorite practice to quiten my mind and bring my body, mind, and spirit back to balance for the past twenty five years. Reiki is a self healing technique that can be learned and practiced by anyone who is open and willing. We offer Reiki attunements and training in our day packages, and retreats.

3. Choose a mantra and repeat it in order to stop fearful thoughts. One of the first mantras that I practiced was a focus word to stop thoughts that were automatic and destructive. This word was cancel-cancel. Then I would replace the word with a simple word like trust.

Spritual Healing is needed by everyone right now to stop the fear that has enveloped our world. By collectively focusing our thoughts on what we want we can create inner peace. See the world at peace and do your part to create inner peace through practicing meditation.

Inner Peace in a World in Fear--Money Crisis and Financial Disaster

Spiritual retreat is a powerful answer to deal with our stressful economic disaster. The most horrible incident I can remember is the suicide of a former student who was behind on her mortgage. She lost hope in her ability to catch up on her bills and found it easier to end her life. There are thousands of homes in foreclosure and many are out of work. Follow these three tips to find strength and release your stress.

1. Stop the negative thoughts that there are no answers. Take a break in nature near a tree if possible. Sit and breathe and concentrate on a time in your life when you felt safe and cared for.

2. See yourself happy and beyond the current challenge that you are experiencing. There is always an answer and a way through any challenge. It may not be the answer that you prefer but once you release your attachment to the outcome an answer will come.

3. Treat yourself to simple pleasures that don't cost money. Create a spa in your home by gifting yourself with an aromatherapy bath. Turn on your favorite music, light candles, and run a hot bath with lavender, rosemary, and orange essential oils. Put three drops of each oil in a tablespoon of honey and disperse in the water. Turn off the phones and let go.

Visit our website for our free life mastery test. Once you know the areas of your life that are out of balance and in need of change you are ready to create the change needed.
