HOW TO HANDLE A "BAD" DAY


"THE ROOT OF ALL SUFFERING IS ATTACHMENT." ~ Buddah
Today was my day off. I was looking forward to it all week. With no clients scheduled, no networking meetings, and no hours needed from me at the Spa desk, I was free to self-indulge. And oh boy was I excited! I had an vision in my head...an outline if you will, of how I was planning out my day.
A quiet morning of coffee & Pilates, then off to the tattoo shop for some spontaneous fresh ink, and an afternoon with a fellow soul sister. I was ready for R&R with a side of sass! 
My quiet morning alone, quickly turned into puppy madness when a good friend was in need of a dog sitter for a couple of hours. The tattoo artist was due in at 12:30pm...but did not show up until 2pm. After two hours of waiting, and being told "any minute now", I finally walked out. My afternoon of bonding, turned into a party of 1, when my girlfriend's morning commitment ran late. And so, here I sit...solo and tattoo-less. LOL But..laughing! I must laugh. And I must remember, as quickly as I wish to label this a "bad day," it isn't. Nothing tragic occurred. Not even a little bit.
What has happened though, is that I grew an attachment to a made-up idea of how today was "suppose" to go. Something I have not done in a while. I used to be the queen of planning, but over the years I have morphed into much more of a "roll with it" kinda gal. I find that watching my day unfold exactly how it unfolds, is a gift. Trying to control my minutes spent on Earth gets exhausting. However, today, I most ceretaintly lost my free-flowing way about me, and truly swam against the current as this particular day "didn't go right."
Welllllll, cheers. Raising my glass of Kombuccha and saying, "Here's to tonight! Let's see what happens!"
And THAT is how you handle a bad day...by realizing, it's just an illusion.
RELEASE & FLOW.

EMOTIONAL SNEEZE

Okay, so imagine you're minding your own business, out in the world. Perhaps at line in a local coffee shop, buying up some sunrise caffeine in a cup. Or maybe, you're at work, sitting quietly at your desk. Either way, with your eyes closed, imagine the calm. You're just....chillin. Okay, wait, open your eyes, there's more to read. LOL Where am I going with this? Well, there you are, in your own space, when BAM!!! Someone walks up and sneezes all over you. I  mean alllll over you! A giant sneeze. (((gasp)))) Ewwww. Grossed out? Horrified? Do you feel violated? Now, replace the "sneeze" with "complaining." This is what it feels like to be an empath on the day to day. It's social edict to greet a friend, stranger, co-worker, etc, with a smile, a quick hello, or often a "how ya doing today?" And most of the time, people can't wait tell you. In my experience, it's rarely positive and I can't help but almost always regret...

REIKI vs. READING

As my Reiki practice continues to grow strong, I find myself more than ever, hyper-focused on the client in front of me. My intent is not just to help them feel more at ease, relaxed, and tranquil, but to assist them in unblocking any old energies that may be stuck and hindering their natural, healthy, organic energy flow. I aim to clear away old emotional baggage, balance & activate their main Chakra points, and leave them feeling refreshed and recharged. ( My favorite is the white light bubble of protection....but that's another blog.) (((wink))) This past weekend, after a session with one of my Reiki clients, I could not deny the overwhelming sensation of depletion. I felt exhausted in a way that I have not felt during other sessions. After crashing into a full afternoon nap, I woke with curiosity and reached out to a couple fellow Reiki Practitioners for advice.One conversation really struck my soul and changed my perception, permanently... Since day 1, almost a year ...

MIRROR MIRROR, NOT ON MY WALL

Imagine you are the caretaker of a toddler. A toddler who in a fit of rage, throws themselves down on the floor, acting out in complete tantrum mode. Would you join this tiny human for you're own fist-to-floor pounding and excessive screaming? No. I mean, I am sure there are moments you may feel like mirroring that behavior, but surely, you would not. Our "grown-up" approach should be no different when handling those around us, regardless of age . It is important to pay close attention to self and the energy vortex that surrounds you. Dramatic? Let me break it down.... Have you ever caught yourself being unusually gossipy around those that love to share secrets? Or perhaps, you found yourself feeling a little (as they say in the USMC) "salty," when around someone who tends to hold onto anger or frustrations? This is you getting sucked into someone else's energy vortex. Awareness is key! If you catch yourself acting out someone else's emotions, simpl...
