Sometimes people get lost in grief. Some of the emotions that you could get stuck on might include; guilt, shame, loss, sadness and obsession. In the normal process these will pass in time. Seeking help to guide you through the maze of emotions and help you understand can ease the journey.
Start with a book like Grief is a Journey

~ Here is a little audio I call ‘Story Glasses’. It might help explain, how we sometimes misunderstand people and cause ourselves anxiety and pain, as a result of our interpretation. If we can learn to look at our interactions with others differently, we may be able to reduce the unnecessary pain in our lives. This audio is also available on my Audio page. If you can not access the link, please email me so I can forward the link directly to you.

Someone telling you to stop worrying doesn’t help, when anxiety or panic visits.
I have added a simple Mindfulness exercise, which you can practise daily. It only takes 5 minutes and will help train your thoughts away from the destructive anxious, stressful, worrying thoughts.
If you are in the habit of using this exercise, it will be easier to use, when an anxiety or panic attack strikes.
Give it a go and tell me how it goes for you. We can always change it a bit to suit you.

Remember to regularly check the other pages on my blog, for wonderful new items. I have added lots to my Resources and Courses page today.
Why has colouring in become so popular to cope with stress?
Colouring in intricate pictures focuses your mind away from the stresses and worries that can spin round and round endlessly in your mind.
With colouring your focus is on ‘staying inside the lines’ and creating something beautiful, so everything else melts into insignificance…..
The same thing happens when you meditate 😉
Here is a link to some free adult colouring pages to get you started
Happy colouring 🙂
Email me a photo of your finished art work.

When people mention addiction, most of us automatically think of substance addictions, like drug addiction and alcoholism.
There is research done into activities or behaviours that are also considered to be addictive. These include such things, as shopping and gambling.
The simple way to explain is, if a behaviour is impacting you or your life in a negative way and you struggle to stop the behaviour, it could be considered an addiction.
This link explains a little about the chemical reaction in our brain that can lead to an activity or behaviour becoming addictive. This knowledge may help us understand such things as self harm, sex addiction and shop lifting (just to mention a few).
I will continue to post some articles and links that may further explain the behavioural addictive process.

Most people have something that they are afraid of, getting in a lift, spiders or snakes or any from this list. How we manage that depends on the phobia. If it is something that you don’t encounter every day, like “big foot”‘ your phobia probably will not impact your life, but if it is something like “leaving the house” it can be debilitating and have a profound impact on your quality of life. Trying to identify, resolve or accept your fear or phobia, can free you up to have a more fulfilled life. See my Resources Page for one method of addressing fears and phobias.

Yesterday I introduced a concept of re-experiencing trauma to untangle the threads of how it can dominate your life.
I have since, had the opportunity to take this one step further and undertake the 7 Step Method detailed in that article. This link will take you directly to that ‘Method’ How to heal your own trauma.
As a practitioner of Reiki and being familar with meditation I found it easy to follow the steps without a support person. However, please ensure you are confident in your ability to work without a support person before ‘going it alone’.
It is my belief, that you will have to continue using these 7 Steps over a period of time to feel the benefits. Please don’t lose heart, if the results are not immediately felt.
If you fall asleep during your first attempt, do not feel let down, your body knows what it needs and sleep may be the best approach to this healing process in the first instance.
Please feel free to contact me, if you would like some guidance or advice with this process.
