Visualizations…we did this very interesting hypno-meditation that was all guided on Saturday. By we, I mean my Reiki II buddies and I. At one point, I was dressed in silver hot pants and a white wrap top with a hoop that reminded me of the heart chakra. I was standing in my happy place (it looks a lot like the bubble garden room in the imagination mover’s warehouse) opening a chest of things that were gifts to me for the present moment. There were a lot of gifts in the chest but I only took 3. They called to me. The one that I mean to speak on now was a thin candle. When I took it in my hand, it melted away turning into a chalice with a small lit flame inside. I’m generally one to read into things so I immediately drew a link to my UU upbringing. Today (yesterday) is hoop meditation day. I listed to a lot of Ayanna classics while hooping. Cheb i Sabbah, Beats Antique and Pentaphobe. Later in the day, my childhood UU friend, Dana brought a chalice to the house. She seemed happy to hear the link between her and the visualization so I thought I’d share it here…on meditation day.


Question of the day: What helps you switch off?

It might sound crazy, but pranayama is a sure fire way to calm my mind. I’ve been practicing breath awareness for all of my adult life, so when I feel stress or the need to let go of something, I automatically turn to my breath. I urge anyone who’s interested to try the following meditation. It’s served me very well.

I wanted to share something off subject today....HOOP PATH IS COMING TO ATLANTA! I really want to talk about it but "Yay!" is the only word I can come up with for how I feel about this. I need to be able to explain why I find hoop path hooping interesting. I need to find words to give to my husband so he can understand why I'm spending MORE money on MORE training. Maybe something will come in the next few days.
