The beach therapy

How can one prevent or remedy the nervous system response from defaulting into an overdrive ? That overdrive of revved up autonomic nervous system into that reactivity of fright, flight or freeze. It’s not a pleasant feeling when there’s that SNS is that while PSNS-parasympathetic nervous system is dormant or overwhelmed.

We were talking about stress and anxieties where a small reminders of past fears can trigger a cascading reaction of overblown nervous system engaged in a delicate balancing act. Mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation can restore and help recalibrate what’s off balance … Now more than ever – fatigued and exhausted from surviving one whole year of Pandemic changed way-of-life, just getting in touch with nature- may also prove so … medicinal.

*Find what give you joy 🙂

*Find acceptance rather than resistance – why? isn’t wearing a mask like second nature by now? It’s lovely for dealing with allergy season or piercing cold air … and why not dress them up with inspriring colors and fabric designs… have fun with them !

*Know your purpose and be intentional which is another way for saying, be … puposeful:)

*Breathe in the now – fill up with abundance and …

*Let go of all thoughts, things, emotions that do not serve you in the moment. Flush out the toxins and trash – simply Purge and Empty out.

*Only then, feel the authenticiy … the abundance we are capable of filling up with.

****** we then get to…

Refresh & Renew ! Regenerate your battries so you may shine again – to be that vibrant Self … again.

Full Moon

It’s that time of the evening where the full moon hangs low over the horizon … where are you all as we gaze up at the moon and what are your thoughts this evening?

Chanting and Moving slowly with mindful reminders with sharpened concentration … the vibe is coming back – what lay dormant over this winter, weighed down by fears and anxiety that could not be quelled with simple reasons alone. We are all on the same boat; we are all on this mother Earth …

Full moon is a time we replenish and fill up with wonder … marveling that in spite of so many losses and tragedies and grief, we still have the capacity to round out the jagged edges and bring to full circle all that wonder into fulfillment of our dreams and hopes. Maybe not this cycle and maybe many moons from now but … I feel in the air, in the sky, in the moon above that … this challenging time is clearly brougt about to help us in the long run. Like this full moon light, many things hidden in the dark shadows are … revealed. Now, what do we do with all that’s been revealed – surely they are not all pretty sights – there’s the good, the bad and the ugly – fully revealed whether you like it or not. Now that much in the hidden corners in the dark shadows are LIT and so much revealed about the world, about US, what are we to do? Go back to our old ways when this is over? Do we go right back to our old ways of seeing and doing and … hiding or do we live that AUTHENTIC truth in alignment to our higher Self. I wonder.
