A Call For LOVE

Changing the rate of your breathing is the fastest way to support your nervous system response.  

3 Breathing Practices

1. Balancing your breath is always safe and healthy. If you’re feeling up, it will bring you down and if you’re feeling low it will bring you up.

Practice water breath by:

•   Inhaling through your nose for 1-2-3-4

•  Exhaling through your nose for 4-3-2-1

•  Repeat up to 10 times 

2. Up-regulating your breath stimulates your sympathetic nervous system to give you more energy and must be practiced with caution. Never practice while driving.

Practice coffee breath by:

•    Draw the belly back sharply on the exhale 10 X allowing a partial inhale to happen naturally

•   Repeat 3 times with rests in between

3. Slowing down your breathing triggers a parasympathetic, rest and digest, nervous system response allowing you to feel calmer. Never practice while driving.  

Practice whiskey breath by:

•   Inhaling through your nose for 1-2-3-4

•   Exhaling through your nose for 8 to 6 breaths

•  Repeat until you feel relaxed

A call for love means opening yourself up to all life’s experiences, the beautiful highs and challenging lows.

Learn how to ride the waves of overwhelming emotions by practicing patience and loving kindness because other people and experiences are going to trigger your vulnerability and inner pain points.

I share how my triggers to give more when I was struggling to “survive” left me fearful I was disappointing others.

You can create space to feel and heal each trigger, slowly and mindfully.

Start practicing self-compassion with your own FREE copy of,  A 7 Day Journal to Self-Love, to start living from the deep source of love within you.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

•   How feeling activated can send you into a hyperarousal state of fight, flight and freeze.

•   What titration is and how it can help you relate to managing your triggers.

•   How getting activated can stem from unresolved inner wounds from the shadow self.

•   What phrases you can say to yourself to name and acknowledge your emotional triggers.

•   How to honour your needs for self-regulation, when activated in someone’s presence.

It's normal to feel like you're not enough and inferior at some point in time.

Noticing these thoughts and emotions can leave you feeling inadequate about yourself and your life.

Comparing yourself to others and inner childhood wounds can certainly contribute to how you feel.

This week, learn how feeling like you’re never enough is coming from the ego, a false sense of self-esteem that is dependent on external validation.

Start practicing self-compassion with your FREE copy of,A 7 Day Journal to Self-Love, https://www.globalwellnesseducation.com/pl/2147650513to start living from the deep source of love within you.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER

• You are enough by examining the work of Byron Katie, creator of "The Work.”
• Why we don’t have to own our inner child wounds.
• How society may be fueling these thoughts and feelings.
• Why building your self-esteem to increase feelings of self-worth does not work and building your self-compassion muscle DOES WORK, according to the mindful self-compassion work of Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer

Have you ever been so humiliated and embarrassed that you berated yourself so much that you just wanted to crawl under a rock and hide? I share a personal story of how being invited to a beautiful music and meditation evening, as a pink fuzzy bunny, turned into a practice self-compassion created by Kristen Neff and Christopher Germer.

In this episode, you will learn the 3 core elements of self-compassion:

• Mindfulness - how to be present to your thoughts and feelings
• Self-kindness - how to allow yourself to be comforted and soothed when you are in pain
• Common Humanity - to recognize that everyone makes mistakes and even if your situation and the degree of your suffering is different, it’s all a part of living this human experience

About Linda:

Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."

As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. 

A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.  

My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else. Join a call for love.

When life isn’t flowing with joy and ease it’s an indication to stop and notice. You have not stopped becoming one with the universe or spirit, instead you are allowing yourself to get in your own way. Linda takes you through the idea of setting 3 intentions for your personal and business life and the power of adding the words "with Spirit" to your intentions to move past obstacles to align yourself for your highest good.

Have you been feeling lost in what you want to accomplish? One way to begin to start your focus, especially as the new year is here, is to set a one word intention. Maybe it is something that you feel is missing in your life or it is something you want to improve. Setting an intention gives clarity and purpose however there is a process in doing so to ensure you can achieve it.

In this episode, you will learn the 6 steps I use to create a one word intention.

1-Pay Attention: What does your heart long for? What is your deepest desire? How do you really want to feel this year?

2-Be Clear, to shift your life from where you are NOW to where you want to BE

3-Keep your word Simple, your word is your anchor, WRITE IT DOWN

4-Keep it Positive

5-Ask yourself How much do you really want it? Answer on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is not at all, and 10 is more than anything

6 - Commit to the Patience and Courage that this will require.

Do you live in a place of fear or a place of love?

All love flows from self-love but sometimes fear gets in the way. Living from the high vibration of love means your thoughts, feelings and actions originate from a place of love but when you’re living from a place of fear, and all of the negative emotions attached to it, you are vibrating at your lowest vibration.

If you’re not living a life of love for yourself and others then there is A Call for Love.

Join the journey!

In this episode, you will learn:

• There are two main emotions; love and fear
• Real fear has ensured the survival of the human race however in this day and age we are most often battling psychological fear that is hijacking our peace of mind
• If we are not living from a place of love, then we can choose a call for love.
