Intuitive Options. . .
Option of Benefit
Leave things better than you found them.
A space (your house, the place you work, the places you visit…)
an event (a picnic, a meeting, a movie, anything…)
and a relationship (your loved ones, the salesperson…)
can always benefit from your energy.
Option of Awareness
Pay notice to ALL of your senses.
A simple act of caring can be
seen in a glance,
felt in a gentle touch,
heard in an observant word,
scented in a single essence
and tasted in a drop.
Option of Focus
Time is infinite and arbitrary based on your focus.
The past can be what you choose to remember,
the future what you dream,
the present what you miss
unless you keep your attention on the now.
Life is all about the choices we make. Thank goodness we have them!
We make choices every day. How we treat our mental, spiritual, emotional and physical body—whether we take that exercise class, read a book or lay on the couch and watch TV, grab the apple or the chocolate cake (hey sometimes you need a little lift!)
Energy work and aromatherapy are intuitive choices—calming, relaxing, stabilizing, nurturing, energizing---they just feel right.
When you smell something that reminds you of a pleasant time, like your mother’s homemade cookies, popcorn at a movie, the air after a spring rain, the smell of a new car, it affects your emotions in a positive way. Essential oils and their smells can have a similar effect, only better. Stronger, long lasting and healing, essential oils like peppermint can ease an upset stomach, energize a flagging spirit, and lemon can offer a mental lift, a sense of clearing. Lavender is a favorite of many because of its versatile effects, from helping to create a gentle sleep to soothing a cut or creating a calming bath.
Healing Touch will work in your energy field like a massage but different. Subtle, the effect can be immediate and relieve pain, reduce anxiety, decrease stress, and create an inner calm. Or, you may not feel the effect noticeably for a day or so, and then as you pay attention to your body you may notice more energy, less hassle, whatever you are working on.
I invite you to explore these healing options with me and to do something good for yourself. There is so much to learn about! The simplest promise is that it will do no harm, and the best option is one of infinite possibility! All healing is an inside job—you make the choice regarding how to use what is available to you.
