You have a choice...Expect the Worst or Hope for the Best!

Are you spending your energy on fear and worry and expecting the worst? You can choose to hope for the best. What is the worst that can happen from allowing yourself to focus on hoping for the best?

Do you have the habit of fearing and worrying? Have you convinced yourself that you need fear and worry to feel safe. Are you ready to let fear and worry go?

A smile lifts your mood and vibrations. One of the gifts that you can give yourself and others is to learn the habit of smiling. Life is stressful right now. Tough economy, high gas prices, and world disasters. The mind doesn't know the difference in an imagined threat and a real threat. When you fear and worry your create hormones that stress your body/mind. You have a choice; you can choose to keep smiling and the world will smile with you. Three tips to stop the fear and worry habit.

1. When you notice the old fear and worry habit creep into your thoughts and emotions, stop and breathe. Hit the delete button and take that habit to the trash bin.

2. Next see a beautiful rose in your mind. Create a rose of any color that appeals to you. Bow your head and let that symbolize coming into your heart. Breathe the fear and worry and all the chemicals and hormones created by the emotions of fear and worry move from your body into the beautiful rose.

3. Now see and feel your guardian angel around you. Feel a beautiful waterfall of light washing through your mind and nervous system washing away all the fear and worry chemicals and hormones. Notice the rest of your day going more smoothly as you allow inner peace and the chemicals of inner peace to permeate your cells.

Our Sedona retreats empower you with tools to create the habit of hope and connect with inner peace and passion. Choose a day retreat, three day or week long retreat with us at Retreat and Heal and let us empower your life and dreams.

Shift Gears in Your Mind and Create Inner Peace

Inner Peace and Success are possible. 4 Tips to Shift Your Mind and create inner peace now. Sedona is a place of magical beauty and intense healing energy. Follow these tips to create more peace without leaving home. Many people are feeling more and more overwhelm and less peace within on a daily basis. Rising living costs with higher gas prices and the threat of higher food prices create more and more fear; and for many make it harder to sleep at night. Follow these tips to release your fears and choose inner peace.

1. First of all you must take the monster out of the closet. What are you most afraid to admit to yourself? Is the fear that you feel equal to the looming threat in your mind?

2. Often the threat and the fear associated with the underlying fear are only imagined. However, scientific research shared in What the Bleep Do We Know,shows that the mind doesn't know the difference in a "real" threat, or an imagined threat. Most imagined threats are exaggerated by fear stored in the subconscious mind.

3. The only way to make sure that you are not losing sleep over imagined fears is to consciously explore what you are reacting to. One good way to face your fear head on is to journal just before bed and complete all your feelings from the day.

4. Listening to music such as the Reiki Music above is a great way to relax and release fear and worry.

Spring Cleaning Tips to Clear Body, Mind and Spirit

Retreat and spring clean your body, mind, and renew your spirit. It has been warm in Sedona for the last few days and I have opened the windows and began my spring cleaning? A clean house feels fresh and has a feeling of vibrant energy. Are you ready to clear away the stuck energy in your life? Here are some tips to retreat and renew yourself without leaving home.

1. Purchase a beautiful new vibrant colored journal. Write down what you love about your life and what you are most unhappy with. Spend time thinking about the things that you want to expand and see the unhappy emotions and habits being replaced by more of what you love. Notice how refreshing it feels to expand what you love.

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. As you shower imagine being in a pine forest and how fresh the air smells.

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.

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.

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.
