There is an opportunity for awareness and upshifting our thinking to overcome stress, anxiety, depression and even chronic disease symptoms. 

In this video, I discuss some of the hidden stressors of the mind and how one can begin upshifting there thinking through challenging one's underlying beliefs, values and conditioned perceptions through cognitive restructuring.

After viewing this video, I challenge you to ink back throughout your life’s history and recall moments where you had a set-back and or even success in your relationships, your career, your health your finances, or you experienced a significant change  or transition in your life.

-How did you act, react or respond? 

-What inactions did you take? 

-What were your beliefs surrounding it? 

-How did you feel about yourself during these moments…how did you feel in your body?  

-What were the sensations you felt in your body as a result of this set-back or success?

As you go through this activity, choose 3 beliefs and 3 actions/or inactions that conflict with your true essence or that conflict with your intentions and goals for your well-being in every area of your life and begin to substitute a more accurate view of these events to come to a healthier state of mind.

Through this activity you are beginning the steps of cognitively restructuring your brain. And by challenging those assumptions surrounding stress you can view situations more accurately .

When we experience anxiety, discomfort, excessive stress, pain, illness or injury, grief or a life transition, there can be a disruption in the vital flow of human energy that is normally a continuous whole state. When the biofield  is altered this can impact our personal well-being, our personal health status, energy level and one's quality of life.

At the heart of the immune system/lymphatic system is the balance of energies that flow through the body and mind; innately designed to keep you healthy. When the immune systems (microbiome and the lymphatic system) are in balance, the body naturally rids itself of toxins and protects the body from dis-ease where a state of health can be achieved. When the immune system is plagued with unhealed trauma, emotional baggage and toxic-chronic oxidative stress and psychological stress it begins attacking itself.   

Knowing a little about how these systems work in concert can help you bring your own body and emotions back to healing. Also knowing a little bit about Ayurveda and your unique body constitution/doshas can help you gain a deeper understanding of what your unique body needs (as we are all unique and what works well for one may not for another). The body is complex and eating nutritious foods, getting adequate movement and rest can also help lower your stress for optimal health of your microbiome and immune system.

The embodiment of gratitude is connecting to the emotion of appreciation and the sensations in the body. With embodied gratitude we are teaching our cells and nervous system to embrace love, acceptance and reverence for all of our memories and shift out of fear/flight-freeze-fight mode. Through mindful acceptance and appreciation we train the brain to associate memories of gratitude even the challenging ones which have essentially transformed us into who we are today. Embodied gratitude is not just about aspects of attitude of thankfulness, it can create shifts within your health, your DNA, your brain function, your energy, and relationships.

Most of the energy we get to spend is delivered by minuscule living structures inside our cells called the mitochondria. How resilient to stress, how active we are and ultimately how healthy and happy we are depends depends a great deal on the health of our mitochondria.

What are you desiring to heal from?  What are you hoping to embrace more of in your life? 

The human body was innately designed to self-heal. External approaches are often a band aid solution. When you begin tapping into your own power within, you can reawaken your natural healer within. Healing is an inside job and all that it requires is setting an intention daily to create  a nurturing space for yourself to go within and tap into your Divine energy flow. 

In this episode, I talk about why we don't engage in self-healing practices and I offer a few ways to begin channeling your own energy.

Today, in this bonus episode, we are going to practice a mindful body scan. (Do this practice while not driving). This activity will help you bring your awareness inward. Usually, our attention jumps around between the mind and the external world, so we want to start to bring it inward. The body scan is also one of the simplest and most effective techniques to prepare the mind and body for meditation. While many people find the body scan relaxing, relaxation is not the primary goal. The goal is to train the mind to be more open and aware of sensory experiences—and ultimately, more accepting. With time and practice, the body scan will build your ability to focus and be fully present in your life.

To practice a body scan, we are simply observing the sensations and feelings of the body. We focus our attention at the different parts of the body and the sensations associated with that part of the body.  As a result, we allow the body to relax as we focus. We often develop adverse relationships with our bodies and mindfulness can be used to bring back appreciation and gratitude for the body.

The Benefits of the Body Scan Practice:

•Enhances your ability to bring your full attention to real-time experiences happening in the present moment—helpful when emotions or thoughts are heightened.

•Trains to explore and be with pleasant and unpleasant sensations, learning to notice what happens when we stick with the practice and feel what’s going on in the body without trying to fix or change anything.
