Self-forgiveness is one of the most healing actions you can bring into your life. And right now you have a chance to take the healing light of self-forgiveness to a very deep place in your heart.  

Did you know that it's important to do self forgiveness regularly? We humans tend to be hard on ourselves. It's important and healthy to evaluate what we do, how we behave, etc. And, when it's time for inner accounting the idea is to open to the opportunity to improve; then be careful to let go of the mistakes and errors in judgement. The idea here is to recognize that you are a precious child of the Creator and to free yourself to move forward in a tender and encouraging way. If you were doing a sport and the coach told you something to improve your game, would you tantrum and cry about it, or would it be more worth your while to practice more and implement the guidance? No brainer, right? So why do we forget and "beat ourselves up?" But don't beat yourself up for beating yourself up. Just clean up, get clear, and move forward with joy. Breathe.

Exercise for your life: Place  your hands over  your heart. Close your eyes and notice your breath deepening. You can say: "I forgive myself. I forgive myself for any and all mistakes I've made. I forgive myself for any judgements I've held. I now release any negative emotions or thoughts. I fill myself with love and kindness as I open to my inner wisdom and strength. I am grateful."

Rinse. Repeat as needed.

Don't worry if it doesn't feel like much is happening at first. Keep going. Forgiveness and self-forgiveness is like drinking water; you really need to do it daily to keep healthy. This stuff really does work

Love,
Aunt Laya

Well, it's a busy time of year. You're bombarded with a ton of information and advertising pulling you this way and that. Here's a technique I learned that takes only a minute or two and will make a huge difference in helping you feel centered, calm, and relaxed. 

Simply close your eyes and begin to breathe slowly, deeply, gently and as you take each breath, imagine that you are breathing in through your heart and releasing your breath through your heart. 


Scientific research has shown that with as little as three, easy, breaths the stress chemistry in the body begins to decrease! Ahhhhhhh......

That's it. 

Now, here is a soft piece of music, less than two minutes long. 
Give yourself the gift of purposeful heart breathing.
You are a blessing in this world, and so may you be blessed.
Love,
Aunt Laya
