Retreat to Connect to Joy

Retreats are a necessity in our world today. Create a refuge in your mind and experience joy in a moment's notice. With the stress of the economy causing more and more anxiety, tension, and stress; stress management is a valuable tool. Here are some quick tools to keep you centered no matter what is going on around you. Hope this video and post brings you joy!

1. Decide on a word that symbolizes joy. For me it is the hummingbird. It can be "I choose to feel safe and experience joy." If you have no memories of joy then you need to create those feelings and anchor them into your body.

2. Next think of the most beautiful and peaceful place that you can remember. As you hold a picture of this place. Remember all the details. See all the colors, see and visualize everything clearly in your mind. The more clearly you can imagine your peaceful place, in your mind, the more powerfully you can anchor in the feeling of joy.

3. The next step is to feel the joy that your place brings to your body, mind and spirit. Add the feeling of gratitude for having this beautiful and peaceful place. As you hold the feeling of joy, say your anchor phrase, and see your peaceful place. Take five long deep breaths. Feel all the cells, and atoms of your body bathed in love, light, and joy.

Leave me a message and let me know how this works for you. Also leave me a message with your most challenging stress and I will leave you tools to release your stress.

Retreat and Heal offers Personal Healing Retreats for healing body, mind and spirit. The above video shares joy of giving and caring for something so beautiful and innocent as a hummingbird. Giving joy reconnects you with inner peace, and joy. Our retreats empower you to calm your mind and emotions. We would love to share the healing energy of Sedona with you. Sedona is a beautiful place to retreat and heal.

Sedona is Beautiful Share Your Photos and Win

Sedona is a magical place of peace and beauty. Many feel a calling to visit Sedona; for many different reasons. Some come to hike the red rocks, while others come to release their stress or unhappiness. When I first heard the call to Sedona over twenty five years ago I had never heard of Sedona or its vortex sites.

Twenty five years ago I was deep in transition and felt complete confusion and overwhelm. I had just completed a divorce from my childhood sweetheart and was moving forward with my life. Sedona has strong transformational energy to shift you forward in your life; and empower you to vibrate at a new higher frequency.

It was love at first sight for me just like it is with many of our guests. "Let the beauty we love be what we do.~Rumi ~" Little did I know at that time, I would eventually move to my now favorite place on earth and share that beauty with others.

Visit us on our Fan page; upload one of your favorite photos of Sedona to enter our contest to win a free medicine card reading.

Retreat and Heal offers personal healing retreats to heal body, mind, and spirit. If you are feeling the "inner calling" to Sedona. Give us a call and let us custom design a retreat that fits your needs and budget.

2. On the inside of the circle write down everything you want in your life. On the outside of the circle write down what blocks you from having what you want.

3. Take all the things on the outside of the circle and write it down on a clean piece of paper. Burn this piece of paper. At the same time you are burning the paper, hold a vision of having everything that is inside your circle and feel gratitude for having it.

4. Each morning when you wake up connect to the feeling of gratitude and hold your vision.

Retreat to Clear Your Emotions and Create Your Dreams

Retreat and clear your emotions and create your dreams. Your emotions are a direct channel to manifest your dreams quickly. E-motions are a clear channel to the divine. When you are connected to your emotions and unafraid to express them in a positive compassionate way you manifest your goals and dreams quickly. However, when you are disconnected and stuff your emotions you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and unclear about what you want in life.

Emotional Freedom Technique and Reiki are two tools that we empower our guests with to clear blocked emotions and reconnect to inner peace. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Take a quick breath break and tune into what you are avoiding. Here is a challenge for you and takes only five minutes.

1. Light a candle. Softly stare at the candle and take the light of the candle into your heart.

2. Next begin to smile an inner smile at your cells. Imagine that you can give the love that you long for to yourself. Hold this smile and breath.

3. Take your right hand and put it on your navel. Place your left hand over your right hand. Notice how much stress you feel in your neck and shoulders. Breath the stress out your feet into the earth.

4. Take your left hand and place it on your heart. Now allow the light from the candle and your heart to radiate to all the cells throughout your body.

5. Radiate the love and light that you feel to the world. Imagine that you can smile at all the people who are feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Imagine that you can send them the love that you feel right now. Imagine that everyone on the earth is now feeling their hearts open and full of love.

Retreat and Heal offers personal retreats based on your needs year round. We would love to be your spiritual guide to Sedona.

Love, Money and Success Blocked? Retreat to Remove Your Walls

Retreat and advance through your walls. When you find yourself hitting a wall in your life how do you respond? Do you break the wall down? Do you go through the wall? Do you walk around the wall? Or do you avoid the pain that built the wall and surround the wall with more mortar in an effort to make it stronger?

Walls no longer serve your path. Instead they create a reaction to life from fight or flight which floods your body with toxic chemicals. Break through your walls blocking your path to love, money, and success. Here are some tips to change your response from fear and worry to acceptance and freedom.

~ The first step is recognizing when you are hitting a wall or set point. When you feel yourself wanting to react with fight or flight take a deep breath and notice what you are feeling. Acknowledge the wall and appreciate that the wall was put there to protect you.

~Give the wall a color, shape, and notice the size of the wall. Imagine surrounding the wall with love. Next ask yourself what you could replace the wall with and still feel safe to advance forward in your life.

~Light a candle and take some time to sit and breath. Imagine your life free from walls and self imposed limits (set points). Imagine moving to a new level with love, money, and success. Feel what it feels like to feel successful, loved and fully express your talents and abilities and have unlimited abundance in your life. Now connect that feeling to gratitude.

Retreat and Heal offers retreats with EFT, Hypnotherapy, massage, Vortex Experiences, and more. Let us be your spiritual guide to Sedona.
