Mental Health Mantra 6/365 Today has been a day when I could easily have stayed under neath the duvet. What with Parliament voting on lockdown here in England with only 16 against make my heart hurt for so many people who are struggling, me included. I generally have pretty good flexible mental health, and yet, this is a real challenge. And yet, I stay hope full. I know there is something very deep going on here, that will come out in the fullness of time. There is a methodology happening behind the scenes. I keep saying this to myself. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. Stay Hope Full. I hope that you're doing okay out there. Keep shining and trusting your intuitive intelligence. 'Art with heart - Calm your Mind, Soothe your Soul'

Mental Health Mantra 2/365
Sometimes I can get caught up in moment of apprehension, I go down that rabbit hole and eat myself down further, until I remember, that I have to somehow shift the focus and move to do something else.
Shift the focus is often connected to doing something for someone else but it can easily also be;- 1. take a shower 2. walk my dogs 3. stick on some White Light by George Michael and dance. 4. call one of my friends to connect. 5. play The Glad Game and write down all my gratitudes in that moment. 6. sit in stillness and breathe (I know that sounds like a tad twee but it really works for me). That's just a wee example but I find if I have a list of things that can shift my focus, it is my go-to and it helps. Often it's just an intuitive nudge that I need to get me out of the rabbit hole moment. I am really grateful that I was attuned to Reiki 18 years ago, it is in fact a tool that never leaves me, and I can sit doing a self healing if all things are not going well. If there was one thing I wished everyone had was level one Reiki attunement as you are taught how to lay hands on yourself and do a self healing #priceless (check out my Self soothing Affirmantra Meditation Video with 9 hand positions that you can do for yourself, I'll write more about that in another post.) Today the Muse Mantra for me and for you is 'Shift Your Focus.'
My nudge to you, is to take a moment and shift your focus. Whatever that means to you.
Your intuitive self will know what that means. Sending oodles of real time hugs to you Keep shining your light and trust your intuitive intelligence.

I was commissioned to draw Barry's Muse Mantra. (What's a Muse Mantra, I hear you ask?! - you can find out here.) Receiving Reiki is relaxing, soothing, calming and wonderful for releasing stress. Add to this your own Muse Mantra to anchor and what you get .... is truly magical. (if you're new here, watch this short video that explains Muse Mantras.) I love that men are stepping forward and I would love to encourage you to gift this healing to a male in your life. Barry wrote me this below and I feel it's written for you. Thank you Dear Man. Very blessed to have met you. **** Dear You When I first asked Julia if I could participate in the process of producing my Healing Muse Portrait I wasn't sure what it meant for me. As the process began and Julia updated me, something changed. I have been on my path many years now and sometimes we come to a crossroads or lose sight of what we first set out to do. I had reached this place but I began to feel a sense of warmth and change. My mind began to clear and I was able to see my vision again. At that time I was not sure where the process was up to. It's only now that I came to understand that the woven healing in my portrait was taking place. When I first viewed the first images, I felt that warmth, that healing washing over me. It was so powerful I had to take several hours to take it all in. After a while I was able to send my feelings to Julia. We had connected in such a healing way. I would encourage all people, more men especially, to take part in this process. Open your heart and soul to the total experience. Feel the healing begin and let it flow through you. Relax your thoughts and be accepting of the love and healing that will open up your mind and heart. The art is the bonus you get to keep, to remind you of your journey, to look at and remind yourself of the light and power you possess. Julia will help you discover it. I also created a video of the entire drawing from start to finish. |
