What Do You Do During Stressful Times?

In stressful times I take care of weakness in my heart, body and mind...
I listen to my feelings and quiet my inner critic. I pay attention to my body and sense where I am carrying tension.  Often times I don’t breath as deeply when I’m stressed.

I stretch more, take deep breaths and use essential oils.  Vetiver is great, as is Lavender, and Sandalwood is very grounding.

I take probiotics to boost my immune health and feel better when I take B complex Vitamins, Vitamin C. Chamomile Lavender Tea is a favorite too.  Making fresh green juice, eating whole foods, no sugar or caffeine really saves me from stress.

I’ll journal at night before bed and listen to calming music, always staying away from the television an hour before I hit the hay. 

Actually, if I am really stressed out, I will opt for a hot bath instead of any television or computer at night.  The hot bath really helps create more positive space in my head and allows me to be in my heart more.  I add essential oils to the bath as well, then I really sleep deeply.

Surrounding myself with positive uplifting people is so important too. Laughing is an instant cure.  Actually, laughing changes your biochemistry sending “happy chemicals throughout your body”.  I have heard of people who have cured themselves of cancer by watching funny movies for weeks on end.

Usually when I’m stressed I am taking life way too seriously. Even in uncertain times a good belly laugh changes everything. Tapping into my 4th grader humor transforms me and is the best medicine always.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the most difference in helping to relieve tension and reduce stress.  Take care and give yourself what you need.  A good laugh and a hot bath is a relaxing way to start. Create a space to nurture yourself. Let go, be silly and let love in.

Be well...
Love,
Lauren

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it”  ~ Mark Twain

This is the most beautiful quote I have ever read.
I read the words and my heart cracked open.
I want to be as brave as a Violet.
Her forgiveness is so very beautiful.

A NEW YEAR’S MESSAGE

PDFPrintE-mail

Tuesday, 29 December 2009 09:53

I am greeting this New Year with Openness to What May Come.

There are many possibilities and unknowns for all of us. My prayer is that we can receive what comes into our lives with a deeper sense of faith.

new year intentionsThis year, as every year, I will be sitting next to the fire on New Year’s Eve writing down my intentions for the months ahead, writing down all I plan to let go of and then surrendering into the flames.

I do this for myself and for everyone and I believe there is an unspoken strength that happens when I offer this. So I will keep you all in my thoughts and wish you a very healing and peaceful New Year; a new year full of possibilities and grace.

In the New Year

In 2010 we will be broadcasting a  number of online interactive performances and events through Live Streaming Video and Radio.

I will be co-hosting a Blog Talk Radio show along with Rick Allen called, “Resiliency Radio”. The show will be dedicated to discussing ‘Resiliency through Times of Crisis’ and will be focusing on the enormous challenges our Veterans and their families face.

We’ll be having some very special guests on the show who will be sharing their professional and personal knowledge of how to get through living with PTSD, Combat Stress and overcoming crisis.

Our listeners will be able to call in, ask questions and participate, an outreach that we feel very honored to be creating with Raven Drum Foundation.

New Music in 2010

We are currently working on a Raven Drum Circle CD, as well as another CD with the band and me.

Lots of creativity flowing and we are looking forward to sharing it with everyone!

Many Blessings to you All this New Year...

With Love,
Lauren
