Frustrated… Part 1

Good Morning, 

I normally do my writing later in the day, but I’m having a mixed day so far. This morning I woke up before my alarm as usual. It’s odd, it doesn't matter what time I set it for I always wake up before it. Drove my son to work, and then took advantage of the quiet and got in my morning meditation.


Now as part of this journey I am on, I am always going to share with you what exactly I am using and how it affects me. So this morning I found an app on my phone that I had downloaded a while ago. It was recommended to me by the Mental Health Liaison I was speaking to back when I first started seeking help. The app is called Insight Timer. It has a whole bunch of free stuff on it. I’m guessing there is a pay model as well, but I’m going to take advantage of the freebies first.


So the first thing I looked for and found was a Learn How To Meditate in Seven Days program. What I liked about it is that it did not make me feel bad when my mind wandered. It actually had a funny name for it. “Monkey Brain”. It turns out it is completely normal and it has instructions on how to bring your mind back. Happy to report Day 1 was a success.


Now the mixed part. I logged onto The Shaw Academy app, to continue my Crystal Healing course and all of the videos have been taken down. I literally have been flying through the course and it is frustrating that my progress has now come to a grinding halt. I was excited to learn more about The Heart and The Throat Chakra and the crystals that correspond with them. That is why I chose to actually write this morning, figuring it is better to vent my frustration with my written words then let it ruin the rest of my day. Maybe this is one of the ways my “voice” can be heard as the Healer at Ren Faire said.


Got some cool things planned for later today, which I’ll share about in my next post. Allie and I are celebrating a huge month for her, so we are treating ourselves to some pampering. Remember it is important to take care of yourself, especially if you want to help others. Allie and I have a Reiki session scheduled this morning which is then followed by massages this afternoon. We have both been working hard on ourselves as well as in the real world. So it’s time to heal both the physical and energetic body.


I’m really curious about the Reiki session, after my experience at the Ren Faire. Curious and excited! I will definitely share my experiences here, but please bear with me. It may take a day or two to process. 


See ya

No Longer Frustrated… Part 2

Good Morning, So sure enough the alarm was set for 6:30 am to get my son to work. Woke up at 5:40 am. I tried for a few minutes to go back to sleep, but after about 15 minutes I figured it was no use. So I started to get ready for my day. Now, I will say I do feel like I got a good night's sleep and I don’t remember waking up any other times, so that is good. I figured with having such a relaxing day I would have no trouble falling and staying asleep. So as I mentioned yesterday Allie and I were both having a Reiki session at a place just blocks from our house. I have to say I am having mixed feelings about my experience. For one my experience at the Ren Faire was much different than the one we experienced yesterday. That is not to say yesterday was bad. It was just different. At the Ren Faire she told us which ones were blocked and why they may be blocked and also gave solutions as to how to keep them open.  Another thing was that according to yesterday my Crown, Third Eye and Thr...

I’m Back Baby!

Good Afternoon, I hope you are having a good day. Today’s been interesting to say the least. Good thing/Bad thing, I slept late. Good because I got the sleep I needed. I have recently started to stop sleeping with my Apple Watch. I thought I was doing a good thing by tracking my sleep, but it turns out it was notifying me for everything. Sometimes it was even telling me to close my ring by going for a brisk 15 minute walk at 2 am. Having not worn it for a few days now I am starting to think I don’t need it. Bad, because I am completely thrown off my morning routine. Usually when I come down in the morning that house is completely quiet. Of course it is why would anyone be up at 6 or 7 am if they didn’t have to. But it turns out if I don’t get that quiet time in the morning it sets up my day to be as smooth. Determined to not let it get in the way of having a great day I completed Day 5 of the 7 Day Beginners Guide to Meditation. It was much harder to shut off my brain later in the day....

Getting Better (All The Time)

“Me used to be angry young man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave me the word, I finally heard I’m doing the best that I can.” -Lennon/McCartney Good afternoon, Kinda like the idea of song titles and quotes to begin each post. Especially if I can find one that fits my mood, which shouldn’t be too hard, right? What does seem to be hard is writing this post, so I’m going to just start writing. Didn’t get a great night of sleep, but it doesn’t seem to have affected my mood. Counseling session went well and he agreed to keep it every other week. Now interestingly when discussing my near break down last weekend he said next time to try tapping on my chest to calm myself.  Ironically this is something the healer at the Ren Faire mentioned to me as a way to calm myself when I felt myself being triggered. She even went as far as to write down the gentleman's name and the name of the program (of course I lost the paper). But I remember that I subscribed to it on YouTube, so I am going t...
