Lastly, I briefly outline the roadmap to healing and remind you it is not linear.  We will be discussing the steps I have taken, lessons learned, and tools implemented, and am coming alongside you on this journey to loving your life again.

Following up on the conversation from last week, I wanted to share my thoughts and how I got started in my meditation practice.

Looking at it first from a Biblical Perspective, we look at some verses that speak to meditation.  They include:

• Genesis 24:63
• Isaiah 26:3
• Joshua 1:8
• Matthew 6:6
• Philippians 4:8
• Psalms 1:2
• Psalms 19:14
• Psalms 4:4
• Psalms 104:34

Praying is talking to God and meditating is listening.  

Meditation encourages you to turn inward, listen to yourself, and heal the areas that need love.

Meditation is a practice, the more you do it the easier and more rewarding it will become.

This week we dive deep into a conversation about meditation with Rain Elizabeth Stickney. 

Rain Elizabeth is a spiritual counselor and meditation teacher in private practice who has been offering her services of presence and healing for over 15 years. Beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, she now lives on the east coast moving from pandemic online offerings back into in-person sessions and groups. Rain holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with special studies in Biofeedback and Somatics. She also has a Master's degree in East West Psychology with a Certificate in Expressive Arts Consulting and Education. Her life work is the continual integration of the four pillars of human experience: body, mind, heart, and spirit. Rain's favorite spiritual tradition is Advaita Vedanta, and she has explored many others as well. Resting in presence, she loves hiking through her 52 acres of wild land, adventuring with her son, and cuddling up with her life partner as they all learn and grow together over time. Her unique offering is based in compassion for all that is.

In this episode we discuss:
1. What meditation is and the spectrum of meditation available depending on what you are looking to use meditation for.
2. How to get started in a meditation practice
3. The healing benefits of meditation, especially when it comes to healing trauma
4. How long it is suggested one meditates for
5. The importance of support and how to find it within your meditation journey
6. And that meditation is a very personal journey

Be sure to listen all the way to the end, where Rain Elizabeth will lead us through a short, but powerful meditation.

Following up on last week's conversation about journaling, I will share with you how I actively used journaling on my journey.  

It helped me see clearly when it was time to go in two ways:
1. I would free-write about events, occurrences, and all the things that would later cause me to feel like I was going crazy.  Another term for this is gaslighting.
2. I would note all the different ways in which I was trying to make my marriage work and the outcomes of them.

After leaving it helped to process all the emotions.

In talking about Gaslighting, the information provided came from:
https://www.thehotline.org/resources/what-is-gaslighting

If you need immediate help, go to their website to chat, call 1-800-799-7233, or text "START" to 88788

Journaling is an amazing tool, if you missed the last episode be sure to go listen to hear where we discussed things like you don’t have time to not journal, it is a safe place to talk to God, figure out life, explore, rant and celebrate, it frees space for your heart, mind, and body, and so much more.  Make sure, if you missed it, you go back and check it out.

So, have you tried journaling yet?    What are your thoughts?  Do you see it making a difference? Do you need more guidance?  Let me know, I want to hear from you:

Some key takeaways include:

1.      There is no wrong way to journal ~ unless you start critiquing yourself in the process

2.      It is a safe space to talk to God, figure out life, explore, rant, and celebrate

3.      When healing, journaling can be hard work; but more importantly, it can be fun

4.      When you get the emotions out on paper, it is freeing for your heart, mind, and body

5.      It is a life-serving tool

6.      It is courageous work

Remember, you are not alone in your journey.  You cannot change the past, only how you will handle the present, which you are worthy of loving the life you live.  Finally, healing is possible.
