Smile Therapy 

Frequency Smiling

Raise your vibes with a smile.

 

One of the quickest and easiest ways to raise your vibes is to simply smile. That tiny little smile, that may feel like a grimace at first, releases an avalanche of physiological reactions that occur within your body. 

I refer to episodes of experiencing harsh self-talk, worry or stress, "Thought Storms." Thought storms wreaks havoc on your physical and mental well-being. When you find yourself in the middle of self-deprecating talk  or a general feeling of doubt or aggravation, pause and smile.  Your brain will intervene by releasing "feel-good" chemicals called neurotransmitters like dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin. ...

Unlocking Your Inner Wisdom

The Power of Intuition and Gratitude Journaling

 

 

Gratitude journaling provides more than just a chance to acknowledge our blessings. I have experienced the results of gratitude journaling as a form of therapy and intuitive development for over 33 years. When we engage our six senses into gratitude journaling, we delve deeper into our emotions and experiences. This leads us to heightened self-awareness and a stronger connection to our intuition.

7 Day Handwritten Gratitude Challenge

 

 

 

About This Challenge

Welcome to my favorite vintage therapy that helps you increase personal frequencies and reduce stress.

I have provided 7 topics for each day of this challenge.

Some of us who have been handwriting our "gratitudes" for a long time, and even beginners, sometimes have difficulty thinking of new topics to be grateful for. The writing prompts help you overcome this block and calms your mind.

 

 This challenge encourages you to add depth to your gratitude practice using a few simple strategies.

Protection From Energy Vampires

Subtitle

 

 

"Energy Vampire" is a phrase that refers to people who drain your energy when you are around them. When in their presence you may find your vital energy being depleted. These captivating beings may not be aware that they are draining your energy because they feel uplifted after an interaction with you. So, they will continually come to you for a boost while inadvertently leaving you exhausted. 

 

Taking steps of caution when interacting with an energy vampire is of extreme importance. Since negativity can become addictive, their drama issues .........

Creating Your Gratitude Ritual

Spa Salon Gratitude

https://www.patrinarutherford.com/gratitude-blog/2020/11/Creating-Your-Gratitude-Ritual

 


Gratitude journaling each day is a self-nurturing experience. The things you are grateful for in your life are  unique to you. They may be similar to someone else but experiences and perceptions belong to each individual. 



Our handwriting is also exclusive to each person. It is a reflection of your innermost thoughts. Writing 10 things you are grateful for each day is a type of moving meditation. I choose 10 things because it challenges my brain to search deeper within my subconscious. This allows more space to be creative in developing my lifestyle.



I once heard one of the band members in a Leonard Skynard interview say, "If you do something every ......

Daily Affirmation Practices

The Magic of a Peaceful Perspective Using Affirmations

 

 

 

Affirmations are positive statements used to increase your personal frequencies and improve your outlook on life. They can replace negative or challenging thoughts that interfere with your peace of mind. They are very powerful when you recognize a self-deprecating thought and replace it immediately with the appropriate affirmation for you.

According to the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging at the University of Southern California the average person has about 48.6 thoughts per minute. This adds up to a total of 70,000 thoughts per day. Most of these thoughts are repeated each and every day.

There are many different ways to pray and send energy healing. I have found that Intercessory Gratitude is very helpful for those in need of support, healing, understanding and love. 

The simple act of holding the emotions of healing assistance in our heart and body while we hand-write 10 things we are grateful for about the recipient of our focus can help shift their situation.

Thank You is a powerful prayer.

Have a beautiful week under the Strawberry Full Moon! ��

Hold your hand over your heart and send up prayers of energetic healing for your own emotional well being. Pay close attention to what stirs the emotions in your heart.

Week 15 Prayer & Energy Healing Requests
Green represents the Heart Chakra. The heart is now being researched for its capacity to think and communicate just as the Brain. The heart is believed by many holistic wellness practitioners to generate a frequency incomparable to any other that the body produces.
I was fascinated with this tiny droplet when I took its photo. It holds so much information deep within and in its reflective surface. I wasn't able to see its intriguing composition until I used a macro-lense to get closer and go deeper.
The emotional heart holds many secrets. Taking a gentle meditative journey deep into your own heart chakra .........

Yellow surrounds and embraces you with the joy of opening yourself to new possibilities.
