Winter is the Water element when Nature goes dormant. Seeds are nestled in their moist, dark beds dreaming of becoming big strong trees. This is the perfect time for you to be like Nature, still, quiet and listening to your inner muse. Reflection builds life force. In “water time” your resources are charged preparing you for the right moment when the Spring of opportunity ignites your senses. You can call upon your strength and burst forth with vitality to meet the challenge.
“We write to taste life twice. In the moment and in retrospect.”
– Anais Nin
If stress becomes part of your holidays have you considered creating a 15 minute self-care routine to turn down the volume? There is no better therapy than expressing your emotions. Journaling is a kinetic form of dialogue where you wash your mind with pen and paper. Studies show that writing down your thoughts lowers your blood pressure. It also forms a protective shield around your heart and connects you to the essence of who you are. It’s the number one self discovery tool that activates your self love button.
Design time for you. Recipes For Living Coloring Journal is the perfect comfort and joy companion guide to get started on journaling. I, along with seven other authors, poured our hearts into this banquet of eight impassioned essays because we know how important it is to feed your soul. Experience the power of dreams, movement, sound, Feng Shui, auric healing, art, food and soul healing tips to express what is in your heart. It’s a great excuse to get out your Crayolas and favorite writing pen and express your way to personal wellness in this first volume sponsored by the Holistic Chamber of Commerce.
Some of what you will experience.
Feng Shui: Feeling rested you enjoy the deliciousness of living in the moment. Learn a color scheme that activates the life force centers in your body and a visualization to clear your mind before going to sleep at night.
Dreaming: a dream is most effective and has a lasting impact when it inspires you, the dreamer, to take action. Dialogue with the symbols in your dreams and they will guide you. Learn how to prepare for “capturing” your dream.
Movement: breath and movement create a dynamic synergy to detoxify the body and create positive physical changes. Learn the 7 primal movement patterns to maintain a balanced mental and spiritual state.
Art: unlock your imagination by freeing your feelings. Learn that a scribble drawing is a fun way to release stuck thoughts and emotions. Erase the “creative speed bumps” from your mind when you put them down on a page.
Food: learn about foods that create “fire in the body”; how inflammation is connected to events in your life and how to change them. A wonderful Turmeric Tea recipe is included.
Sound: your every thought, word and action is recorded in your body. Learn how to use your voice to send soothing vibrations to every cell. Discover how to write about an issue and create its unique sound to heal it. Reflect in silence then journal about the experience.
Auras: an aura is an electromagnetic representation of your Soul that contains valuable information about who you are. Learn that you can write about a current life issue and understand how to use the body temperature changes around you to resolve your problem.
Soul Healing: step into your power and find the deeper meaning in your life. Learn the importance of recognizing your needs. “Me First” helps you to be happier and it helps you to be compassionate towards others. Journal about a time when you didn’t choose “Me First” and what you did to resolve it.
Welcome the light within you when you take 15 minutes of self care. Dialogue with your inner muse using the prompts to write out your thoughts plus give yourself permission to doodle with color to ease your mind. Each chapter ends with a “recipe” to help you integrate the experience.
