25.01.2022 When you get adequate rest and relaxation, you're able to live your day-to-day life like a champ. Give these 5 yoga-inspired sleep tricks a try to get the nightly rest you deserve.

23.01.2022 10 LAWS TO RAISE YOUR FREQUENCY 1. Learn to be silent in moments of greatest turbulence: Mental Peace and Patience are your best allies during crises. Conquering these attributes is part of your spiritual evolution. 2. Avoid judging other people: Your perception of the outside world is part of your inner world. When you speak ill of others, you are speaking badly of yourself. You hurt them and you hurt yourself. So love them and love yourself.... 3. Focus your attention on the things you like most: What you resist, persists. If you focus on the negative, you will grow it. If you focus on the positive, you will grow too. So what do you choose? 4. Stay still, not that it's bad to fight, but remember it's only a test: You're paying old debts for old actions. So accept it and let it flow. The more you persist in standing, calm and acceptance, the more you have cleaned your karma. 5. Be hopeful, what seems real is just a bad thought product of your imagination. Change it!: Thoughts are things. Reality is created by your thought and collective thinking. Change your mind and you will change your reality. 6. Forgive, let go, and release: It may be difficult, but it is necessary. These negative feelings are the ones that hold the cycle of karma. Someone has to break it, you start doing it! 7. Always speak positive: Words also form reality, both yours and others. Be careful what you say, be positive affirmative and choose every word very well. 8. Meditate at least twice a day (5 minutes would be a very good start): It's the best way to calm the mind and make contact with your spiritual self. 9. Visualize pleasant situations for you and all your loved ones: What exists in your mind will manifest in your reality. Create that reality for both you and your loved ones, you will be creating happiness and add dharma. 10. Grant Love no matter what you receive: Love builds. Love heals. Love restores. Love is a choice, not a reaction. Give Love, you'll be happier doing it and you'll win at Dharma.

21.01.2022 Dear followers, There comes a time when the healing is personal. So, I will be taking a break from all social media platforms to reclaim my time and space, reunite with Mother Nature, breath, yoga and meditation, and of course, my work as a wellness therapist. ... During this stage I welcome the opportunity to keep falling deeply in love with myself, this woman who is in her ultimate state of ‘becoming’. As I do from time to time... I will re-enter the chrysalis and emerge when my wings are ready to unfurl. Autumn is such a perfect time to welcome this journey. Remember that YOU must always come first. It’s is you who must be served first. This is far from selfish or egocentric. It’s vital! Fill your cup until it spills from the brim... ...and then, only then, share your magic with others from the overflow. My deepest heartfelt blessings of love, compassion and kindness to all you. @catherine_d_cenandez

21.01.2022 An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. A fight is going on inside me, he said to the boy.It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. He continued, The other is good he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The sa...me fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, Which wolf will win? The old Cherokee simply replied, The one you feed. Whether or not it’s your first time hearing this story, it serves as an important reminder of the power we have over our experiences and emotions. It’s easy to feel like a victim in challenging situations and circumstances in our lives. We want to understand our negative thoughts, feelings and experiences, so we place blame on other people, objects, or events. We look outward to try to make sense of what’s going on inside of us. We do this all the time. Why? It’s our way of coping, and feeling more in control of uncontrollable situations. Happiness isn’t a conditional state. It’s a state of being. True lasting happiness comes from making an active choice to be happy, rather than depending on external things to make you happy. The more that we seek out happiness, and look for it as if it is a treasure we will find, the less we are feeding the wolf that is inside of us. You already have everything you need to be happy because you are whole as you are, right now. The feeling and experience of happiness comes from feeding the wolf from within. As he becomes bigger and stronger, he will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges. If you choose to feed only him, he will always win. #selflove #love #selfcare #loveyourself #motivation #happiness #positivevibes #life #inspiration #believe #mentalhealth #cherokeequote #lifestyle #mindset #success #equinimity #balanzatherapies #yourself #innerhealing #goals #positivity #motivationalquotes #belief

15.01.2022 The Greek slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus is usually given credit for the old saying, It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. Thankfully, neuroscience researchand technology such as the functional MRI helps us understand just how much control we actually have over our thoughts and emotions. These insights are particularly valuable for leaders trying to bounce back from disappointment, and they form the basis for the strategies that have work...ed well for me. So, if your world has been rocked by a setback, regardless of whether it’s of your own making, here are six ways to move forward: 1. Experience your emotions There’s something to be said for giving yourself time to mourn the loss and even be a little angry if you like. If you ignore your emotions, they’ll surface at some point and often in more damaging ways. 2. Accept reality Now that you’re more aware of the emotions surrounding this disappointment, you can manage them more effectively and not be held hostage by them. 3. Shift your perspective The next step is to shift your perspective. There are many cognitive strategies that can help you change the way you think about a situation. Three that have been valuable for me are: normalize, reprioritize and reframe. 4. Move from no to not yet Adopt a growth mindset. The key is to move from telling ourselves no, I’ve failed to not yet, but I will. 5. Revisit your goals Where’s your there? Take some time to evaluate your goals and determine what has changed, and what hasn’t. Consider what your next and ultimate destinations could be in light of what has happened. Inspiring goals motivate us to move forward. Keep your eyes focused on where you want to end up. 6. Stay open New opportunities can come when you least expect them, but you must stay open and willing to consider new things. This requires you to set aside the negative emotions and thoughts that can cloud your ability to listen intently and identify potential. #shadowwork #counseling #lifecoaching #hypnotherapy #innerpeace #selflove #harmony #balance #newbeginnings #endings #balanzatherapies #balanceinyourlife

12.01.2022 The worst thing we ever did was put God in the sky out of reach pulling the divinity from the leaf,... sifting out the holy from our bones, insisting God isn’t bursting dazzlement through everything we’ve made a hard commitment to see as ordinary, stripping the sacred from everywhere to put in a cloud man elsewhere, prying closeness from your heart. The worst thing we ever did was take the dance and the song out of prayer made it sit up straight and cross its legs removed it of rejoicing wiped clean its hip sway, its questions, its ecstatic yowl, its tears. The worst thing we ever did is pretend God isn’t the easiest thing in this Universe available to every soul in every breath. ~ Chelan Harkin from 'Susceptible to Light' catherine_d_cenandez #meditation #meditate #meditationpractice #mindfulness #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #newskills #learning #time #surrender #awaken #relax #breath #breatheinbreatheout #harmony #selflove #selfcare #gratitude #balance #equinimity #epigenetics #health #wellbeing #mentalhealth #theurbanalchemist #holistichealing #balanceinyourlife #balanzatherapies

11.01.2022 My wish is for you to bring in the new year with a version of yourself the world hasn't seen. Bring it in with a bang that beats any firecracker. Bring it in with a confidence that explodes beautiful colors and never sizzles out. ... Bring it in with a certainty so sure, there are no apologies when the lid blows off. Make this your year and pay it forward to all of the years that follow. ~ Stephanie Bennett-Henry #intention #wish #mindfulness #newyear #conciousness #chakras #energyhealing #divinity #insight #energychannel #creation #transformation #ichangeeveryday #manifestation #thoughts #clarity #focus #materialize #mind #breath #relaxation #experience #affirmations #holistichealth #pureconciousness #kundalini #conception #supernatural #epigenetics #ancientwisdom

08.01.2022 Crystals have the ability to absorb and hold unique energies, both positive and negative. So it's important to cleanse them often and the Full Moon is the perfect time to do this. When we say "cleanse" in this context, it's on an energetic level, not just cleaning the dust off them. Many people believe that the Full Moon can clear a crystal's energy and recharge the positive energies it holds. There are many ways that you can cleanse your crystals. You may choose to use a Wh...ite Sage Smudge Stick, rinse them under water or use a larger crystal. But the most powerful way to do this, in my opinion, is by making sure they are put out to bath in the Full Moon's light. If you miss the exact Full Moon it's OK. Putting them out the night before or night after the Moon is full will do just as well. #meditation #silence #mindfulness #om #conciousness #purpose #energyhealing #divinity #insight #energychannel #creation #transformation #intention #manifestation #thoughts #clarity #focus #materialize #mind #breath #relaxation #experience #affirmations #holistichealth #pureconciousness #ancientwisdom #fullmoon #crystals #balanceinyourlife #balanzatherapies

07.01.2022 Spiritual growth is about reaching out to and connecting with your inner soul and is a method of becoming more harmonious with life around us, develops our own feelings of inner power and strength and leads us to live happier lives and to take more responsibility for our own actions. A bewildering array of options exists for those seeking spiritual guidance. An online search can turn up varied terms, including spiritual director, spiritual advisor, spiritual companionship, ...and spiritual guide. It’s important to note that spiritual companions might come from a specific spiritual orientation, but that does not necessarily mean they can only speak from that background. A spiritual advisor, spiritual companion, or spiritual director, is a like a ‘psychologist’ for the soul. People who help you find however you might define itdivinity, universe, God, Allah, Shiva, Brahman, Spirit, Buddha, Yahweh or Akal Murat. The difference between a spiritual companion and psychologist is that while both can help individuals with mental health issues, a spiritual companion’s sole objective is to support you on your spiritual path. All spiritual companions, regardless of faith traditions or spiritual orientation, should embody qualities like being a deep listener, being a lifelong learner, and being accountable, ethical, and compassionate. Whilst it’s important to be open, it’s also vital that the ‘fit’ is right to assist and guide your spiritual development. #spiritualgrowth #spiritualawakening #spirituality #spiritualjourney #love #spiritual #selflove #meditation #lightworker #lawofattraction #healing #awakening #mindfulness #spiritualhealing #consciousness #enlightenment #peace #higherconsciousness #wisdom #selfcare #higherself #motivation #positivevibes #inspiration #faith #innerpeace #energy #loveyourself #balanzatherapies #bhfyp

07.01.2022 The importance of downtime It's a challenge to let ourselves slow down. As Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul, says, "We seem to have a complex about busyness in our culture. Most of us do have time in our days that we could devote to simple relaxation, but we convince ourselves that we don't." It seems there is always something that needs doing, always someone who needs our attention. "Unfortunately," Moore says, "we don't get a lot of support in this culture for d...oing nothing. If we aren't accomplishing something, we feel that we're wasting time." Many of us feel compelled to measure our success in terms of acquisition and accomplishment. But even people who are unwilling to buy into such a narrow definition of success may feel uncomfortable with the idea of claiming time just for themselves, with no agenda whatsoever. Often when we find ourselves with an empty hour, we spend that time doing chores or attending to our relationships. If no one's around, we'll reach for the phoneor the TV remote or even a household chore. We avoid ourselves because we're afraid of what we might find: a forlorn, flawed someone who's missing out on life's party. But solitude and isolation do not go hand in hand. We can retreat from the world for a time without being renounced by it. catherine_d_cenandez #solitude #surrender #release #awaken #shadowwork #counseling #lifecoaching #selfcare #hypnotherapy #innerpeace #selflove #impermanence #harmony #balance #newbeginnings #endings #change #holisticcounseling #transformation #equinimity #intergration #nonattachment #acceptance #balanceinyourlife #balanzatherapies

06.01.2022 Gratitude & Thanksgiving The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness (depending on the context). In some ways gratitude encompasses all of these meanings. ... Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. In the process, people usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves. As a result, gratitude also helps people connect to something larger than themselves as individuals whether to other people, nature, or a higher power. In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways. They can apply it to the past (retrieving positive memories and being thankful for elements of childhood or past blessings), the present (not taking good fortune for granted as it comes), and the future (maintaining a hopeful and optimistic attitude). Regardless of the inherent or current level of someone's gratitude, it's a quality that individuals can successfully cultivate further. catherine_d_cenandez #gratitude #thanksgiving #gratefulness #gracias #kindness #blessings #positivity #happiness #grace #appreciation #thankful #childhoodmemories #goodfortune #counselling #hypnotherapy #lifecoaching #mindfulness #theurbanalchemist #balanceinyourlife #balanzatherapies

06.01.2022 How Massage Works with Your Nervous System Massage can be a particularly powerful support for the nervous system’s health because it helps to balance and regulate the vital functions of the autonomic nervous system.

05.01.2022 THE WOUND IS THE DOORWAY You are pure Awareness with very human wounds.... You are indestructible Light, untouchable and infinite, yes, but you are also deeply sensitive, fragile, a human being with a tender heart and unspeakable longings, and more questions than answers. Do not abandon yourself for the Absolute, friend, but do not lose yourself in the relative either. Just see them as One. God taking shape. Non-duality dancing as duality, as the deep mystery of the belly, the throat, the genitals, the hot blood and the yearning for home and the search for union, and the restlessness and the rest, and the boredom and the joy of this ordinary life. All form is sacred here, since all form is formless here. The relative is absolute in its holiness here. Your pain is not an error here but a call to home. Your sorrow is not a mistake but a movement of divinity. And even your sense of incompleteness is complete, and your feeling of unworthiness has endless worth. The old dream of perfection has crumbled. The old myth of spiritual enlightenment has turned to dust. The untouchable gurus with all the answers and no human flaws have been swept away. Certainty has been destroyed by fire. What is left to trust now but the belly and the throat, the whistle of the kettle and the pitter-patter of rain hitting the roof, and the laughter of children, and the pressure between the eyes and the loneliness of evening, and the yearning for God and the simplicity of breathing. The spiritual patriarchy is collapsing under its own weight. The fear-based notions of how you should be. The sad ideal of bliss and light and only positive vibes. It has destroyed souls for too long. A new spirituality is dawning. One that allows for imperfection. Healthy shame. Flaws. Not knowing. Allows us to doubt. To feel sad. To break. To be groundless yet know our ground. To be Light yet love our darkness too. To be Awareness yet maintain our humanity. A spirituality not of opposites but of inclusion. A spirituality of the feminine and the masculine working in harmony. A spirituality of the breath, the dirt, the erotic, the taboo and the inconvenient, the impure and the unfinished and the unknowable. A spirituality of you, as you are. - Jeff Foster

02.01.2022 The Invitation It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know... what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes." It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer #meditation #mindfulness #meditationpractice #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #theinvitation
