Family Grounding Ritual

GROUNDING⁠

⁠
Our attention jumps from one moment to the next, from one experience in the past, to something we hope for in the future, to what we're engaged in right now and to a million other thoughts. This does not serve us in the NOW. And the NOW is the only place we can make change for the better.⁠
⁠
So what to do about this wandering mind of ours?⁠
⁠
The answer is GROUND.⁠
⁠
What? Maybe you've heard about grounding before but no one's really explained what it means or what if feels like. Grounding is using your imagination to release to and receive energy from the Earth. ⁠
⁠

How? Sit in a meditative pose of your choice. Now close your eyes and breathe. Next start to imagine that you have roots from your bottom and your feet. Imagine these roots growing into the Earth - past any flooring, carpet, grass, mud, rocks, insects, and allow your roots to grow to the center of the Earth. There imagine you see something to grab onto - I often imagine huge crystals, or rocks, or other roots. Imagine your roots wrapping around them. Then imagine energy coming up from the center to you and then your energy going down from you to the center. Repeat this with breathing - in breath, energy coming up - out breath, energy going down. ⁠
⁠
This is Grounding and the first stage (of 5) of being able to hold balance and stability in the NOW. ⁠

Grounding is needed more today than ever in your lifetime. And it's not just you that needs to ground. Your whole family needs to do the work. Your kids are in need of grounding.

Family grounding ritual:

• Remove your shoes
• Go outside and stand on the grass, dirt or concrete
• Concrete does allow for grounding - FYI
• Rubber soles of shoes prevents grounding - FYI
• Stand for 5 - 10 minutes together and on the Earth
• Allow your energy to flow through you, your family members and Earth
• Breathe

Grounding together will help your family become closer, calmer and less stressed. Stress hurts immune systems - love and the feeling of safety helps it. Do this for you and your family. You deserve peace and health.

Food is for Celebration and Health

Celebrate Food - Savor Every Bite! ⁠

Meals should be a time for celebration, during a shift to Ancestral Health foods and forever after. Sure, it may be a little difficult to forgo old dietary norms like cereal, bread, pasta, and baked goods, but keep your focus on the pleasure available instead of what you are missing out on. ⁠

Negativity associated with eating has no place in a happy life: deprivation / restriction / portion control / guilt / has to go. Instead, treat eating as one of life's greatest pleasures. ⁠

Eat whatever real foods you like until you are totally satisfied at each meal, and then feel free to eat again any time you feel hungry. (The operative word being "satisfied" not "stuffed") ⁠

Eating aligned with Ancestral Health principles frees you from the sugar induced, insulin roller coaster so you can reconnect with, and trust, hunger and satisfaction cycles that have nourished humans for 2.5 million years.

With the celebration mentality comes a deepened respect for food as nourishment, instead of simply fuel. Take the time to create relaxing mealtime environments, eat at a comfortable pace so you can savor every bite and eliminate all distractions that diminish your enjoyment of the meal and your dining companions. ⁠

So pick up that fork and let the celebration begin!

Let us know your favorite foods and how you celebrate food in your life!

SOFT and Therapeutic.

Angie in her Grandmother Snuggle Chair

I love my Grandmother snuggle chair. I found her at a second-hand store. When I sat in her, I felt like my Grandmother was hugging me. When she was alive and I was younger, she would hold and rock me. This chair reminded me of that type of safe snuggle. When I feel sad, angry or scared, I head to my Grandmother chair and she allows me to relax into her soft, plumpness. 

If you are feeling:

1. Worried
2. Sad
3. Angry
4. Upset
5. Afraid
6. Lonely
7. Depressed
8. Sick
9. Tired
10. Frustrated

    

Find something soft to snuggle. This soft thing can be anything that brings you a sense of home, peace, sweetness and gentleness. Some ideas are:

• Teddy Bear
• Soft Sweater
• Soft Towel
• Fuzzy Slippers
• Plump Pillow
• Warm Blanket
• A Puffy Chair

During this Pandemic, many people are admitting to feeling separate, alone, and very sad and angry. This is normal. Being told what to do, not do, and/or how to live along with the fear of becoming sick can create a split inside the personality or character of a person. Remember that we are all doing our best at where we are in our understanding of the ALL to the INDIVIDUAL. 

No matter where you fall in the emotional scale of anger to compassion, you need a break. You need some loving the self-time. 

What to do:

Grab your teddy bear, sweater, pillow or blanket and find a quiet place to snuggle into it. A quiet place might be difficult to find during shelter-in-place where everyone is home. Some ideas to try out are:

• a closet
• basement
• under a tree
• the backseat of your car
• a corner in a bedroom
• the bath tub or shower
• under a table
• under a bed
• behind the garage
• the attic
• in the garden

Find your spot and go there with your snuggle buddy. Get comfortable and hold your snuggle item close to your heart. Breathe. Take long and intention-filled breaths to relax your body and mind. Come back to, "I'm okay. I am loved. I am here." Keep repeating this and breathing deeply and smoothly.

Small time for self is all you need to feel grounded and loved. Do this multiple times a week or once a day as much as you need to balance out any scary feelings. You're not alone. We're here if you need more support. Reach out.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR COACHING EXPERIENCE

Say, you've never had a coach before; this might stop you from trying one on and curtailing your growth. Coaching doesn't have to be intimidating and can be a fulfilling and shift-changing experience from the very first meeting....but how?



Before you choose a coach take some time to do these steps:

• meditate on why you're wanting or feeling a need for a coach


• jot down 3 immediate issues or ideas you want to be coached on or change


• write out how, if these things were different, would your life look


• note how you would feel if these 3 things were exactly how you'd like


• ask yourself what has kept you from making these changes


• ask yourself what's in the way of you now


• what will it look like in a year if you do not make these changes


• note how you would feel if a year from now, you have not changed

Once you've written these out - with a pen, not digital. There are many reasons why it's more helpful to you using pen and pad....but just trust us and do it this way for this exercise. This is you being coachable - wink. wink.

Next ask yourself these questions:

• What do you want to work on first in the initial session with your coach


• Would it be comforting to have a coach you can talk with


• Do you believe you are coachable


• Do you want to change and grow


• Would being held accountable help you hit your goals


• Will releasing old trauma, limiting beliefs, and perceptions help you grow


• Would connecting to your spirituality, God, or Higher Self help you unravel doubts


• Would finding more spiritual ways to resolving conflicts give you peace


• Would you like to become less reactive and more centered


• Would you like to understand yourself better

Once you have these questions answered, reread them. Do any of your answers stand out? How do you feel about what you describe or need? Would a coach be able to help you with these things?

This is when you must dive deep into yourself. If you're stuck, feeling a loss of control, unhappy about a relationship or unhappy with your career -- it's time to ask for help. There are all sorts of help out there - anyone from a close friend, to journaling, working with a coach, talking with a psychologist, releasing with a religious figure, artwork, and reading, to doing nothing at all and hoping for a better outcome. You have choices. 

It's time to ask yourself which one fits. You can do this by placing your hand on your heart and allowing yourself to feel into what you need. No answer is wrong. You may need to change your diet, sleep habits, or organization. You might need to dive deep into past trauma with a psychologist. You could journal through these transitions and questions. Or you might want to try out a coach and see what that's like. 

What you do need to do above all else is listen to yourself. Listen to that deep truth inside of you. And if you're a YES for coaching, we're here. Reach out.

KEEP ANY HOLIDAY SIMPLE TO STAY PRESENT

HOLIDAY CHEER⁠
⁠
KISS = Keep it simple, stupid.



Not at all calling you stupid, but the holiday collective seems to be. Not just November and December holidays, but the whole year seems to be wrapped up in lower vibrations when it comes to what should be celebration in the upper realms.



What can you do? Allow this Holiday Season to hold you, too. Many of us are doers -- must get it all done - types. This taxes our physical and emotional bodies. Feeling overwhelmed with too much to do, too much to see, too many places to go frazzles our insides and causes stress. Relax into this holiday season now and for the new year. Be fully present with yourself and your loved ones.⁠ And check in with yourself often to see if you're doing what is in alignment with you or not.
⁠
You have permission to take a bath with candles, put your feet up and watch a show, not bake those cookies, not lick stamps, ignore texts and emails, hug your loved ones and lean into it fully, not buy that one last gift, hug yourself and know you are enough. Bring yourself inner cheer by allowing down-time. ⁠You don't have to write thank you notes or any cards at all. You can just say, "Thanks," and let that be enough.
⁠
You have permission to notice the beauty all around you - the lights, snow, rain, trees, people, wild animals, pets, decorations, warm coffee shops, smiles from strangers, singing, church bells, and the sun and the moon.⁠
⁠
You have permission to open your heart with love, joy, honesty, faith, playfulness, celebration as well as sadness, despair, anger, fear, and doubt. ⁠
⁠
You have permission to feel all things, to receive and give, to rest and play, to be there and be isolated. ⁠
⁠
Holiday Cheer comes from within - not without. Allow yourself to have permission to feel and do what is right for you. You are loved and wanted here for what you are feeling and doing now.⁠
⁠
Happy Holiday from now and until next time.



Take care of yourself so that you can be fully embodied and fully here for yourself and others.

HOW TO ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS

HOLIDAY HEART⁠
⁠
What happens between the time when we are children, excited and fully ready for the Holidays and when we become adults, irritated and depressed by them?⁠
⁠
Hmmmm....⁠
⁠
I've been thinking about this, watching and listening to many adults grumble about family gatherings, traveling, and the holidays in general. What I've come to notice is it's a lack of forgiveness for the self and for others ⁠
⁠
Forgiveness, when we're very young, is easy. It takes about 2 seconds for a young child to be hurt, receive an apology, and move on. Adults, not so much. We tend to hold grudges, or not feel the sorry was good enough, or not want to give a sorry ourselves.⁠
⁠
So, this holiday season, instead of dreading those family gatherings -- why not look underneath that feeling and get to the root of the issue? You clear these up and the rest of your holidays will change forever for the better!⁠
⁠
Meditate on and repeat this mantra 6 times to help you open to forgiveness either for yourself or another:⁠
⁠
I'm sorry,⁠
Please forgive me,⁠
I love you,⁠
Thank you.⁠
⁠
Now, take this to a person you've hurt -- say it just like this. That's all. No big discussions as to why or how you were in the right, or they were in the wrong. Start from here. Start from NOW - and say this to them. No attachment as to what they do with this -- but just allow what comes next to happen organically. Be the one that starts forgiveness in your family and watch it take off ---- You can do this!⁠
⁠
Happy Holidays!⁠

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON TOTEMS

TOTEM⁠S have been studied and looked at before, but a download from a deep meditation has opened me up to a new perspective on my totems. Which I'm willing to share.
⁠
Sometimes when we are younger a trauma occurs, and our soul shatters. When this happens, helpers come along to save our young-selves. They shelter those young parts that could not hold that traumatic experience alone. ⁠The gather them up and keep them safe, like a dog collecting toys in her bed.
⁠
I call these helpers and protectors TOTEMS. This is a new way of looking at the spirit animals that come to you in dreams, meditations, and cross your path in the 3D world. ⁠



This is how I came to understand my totems and what they have done to protect me.
⁠
I had a trauma at a young age. During that experience, I shattered. My energy split and raced out of my body in many different directions. Too fast for my young body to understand. As it did, my Totems caught that energy. They held onto those pieces of me, those pieces too fragile to handle the situation, and kept them safe. They held them dear until I was aware enough to integrate them back into my wholeness again.⁠
⁠
Become aware of the animals that come to you , whether in dreams, meditations, or in life. What pieces of you might they be holding for safekeeping? And are you ready to accept those back? ⁠
⁠
There are ancient rights and soul retrievals to help you with this process. We are here to guide you safely home to wholeness.



When you're ready.



You are not alone.⁠

I call these helpers and protectors TOTEMS. This is a new way of looking at the spirit animals that come to you in dreams, meditations, and cross your path in the 3D world. ⁠



This is how I came to understand my totems and what they have done to protect me.
⁠
I had a trauma at a young age. During that experience, I shattered. My energy split and raced out of my body in many different directions. Too fast for my young body to understand. As it did, my Totems caught that energy. They held onto those pieces of me, those pieces too fragile to handle the situation, and kept them safe. They held them dear until I was aware enough to integrate them back into my wholeness again.⁠
⁠
Become aware of the animals that come to you , whether in dreams, meditations, or in life. What pieces of you might they be holding for safekeeping? And are you ready to accept those back? ⁠
⁠
There are ancient rights and soul retrievals to help you with this process. We are here to guide you safely home to wholeness.



When you're ready.



You are not alone.⁠

HOW TO FIND YOUR CORE AND YOURSELF

Where is your CENTER?⁠
⁠
Knowing yourself is knowing your center. Do you know yours? If you're wondering what I'm talking about, then no, right now you don't.⁠
⁠
Your center is the place inside of you that knows. It knows what you're a YES for and it knows what you're a NO for. But sometimes we choose not to listen to it. We allow the shoulds to should all over us.⁠ We allow others to tell us what to feel, who we should be, how we should dress, and act.
⁠
How can you stop living your life for others, but be a good helpful person, and strongly aligned with your center?⁠



This starts with recognizing your goodness. That you are Holy. That you are a loving and kind person - no matter the mistakes you might have made.
⁠
Find yourself. This is essential - your number one job to do and the toughest thing to try because we are torn in many directions by multiple obligations and people which pull us from our core. ⁠And without much training from elders, we are confused and don't know how to remain stable in our own core when someone else needs, directs, or becomes aggressive toward us.
⁠
So, how do you find yourself? ⁠


Meditate. Meditate. Meditate - then Meditate more. I mean it. No more I-don't-have-time-for-that excuses. You MUST meditate - Meditate with openness, not expectations. ⁠This is will truly be a turning point for you in your quest for self-understanding and self-love. Meditate (or as some call it, Pray) with love, openness, thankfulness, and ask for guidance.
⁠

This is not to be confused with asking for someone outside of yourself to fix your life. That is a childish way of living in the world and you are ready to move on from that first teaching. Praying or Meditating in a mature way is to ask yourself what you need, to rely on yourself for love and guidance, to mature into your ancient knowings and relate them to your life in the NOW.


Once you meditate and have your core - start to ask it questions to re-introduce yourself to it. Start with easy ones "Hi, core, Angie here, do I want gluten free pizza?" If I lean back it's a NO. "Or fish for dinner?" If I lean forward it's a YES. Play with this until you feel you know it's yes and no ways of communicating with you.⁠
⁠
Then honor it.



You are important. I promise you, that if you continue to ignore your core, you will feel drained, get sick, depressed, and resentful toward others. This in no way helps anyone. Know your NO's and honor them just as you honor your YES's. You will be a happier person and in turn you will treat others with kindness. ⁠
⁠
You are worth knowing yourself and honoring yourself.⁠

CURIOUS ABOUT SACRED 12 AROUND THE ONE?

12 around the 1⁠



When you start to notice this sacred geometry, you'll see it everywhere. And you'll wonder where your awareness has been for so long.
⁠
12 around 1 is source consciousness. 12 = 1 + 2 = 3 the Holy Trinity.⁠
⁠
There are many places where we see the number 12 around the 1. Think clocks for a great visual -- 12 hours around the mid circle. Then think of the zodiac, the months in a year, and the flower of life. ⁠
⁠
12 around the 1 is seen in artwork and has been created in ancient architecture. ⁠It's in old church stained glass windows. You'll find it around the world, hidden in plain sight.
⁠
Question what 12 around the 1 means to you. Meditate on it, even if you don't quite understand it's meaning yet. When I first heard of 12 around 1, I was in Paris, studying with Shamans, Teachers, and Facilitators from many countries. They spoke extensively on the 12 around 1 sacred geometry and the flower of life. ⁠
⁠
This is just a quick peek under the blanket of our illusionary reality -- but once it gets in your head, I promise, you'll see 12 around 1 everywhere.
⁠
There are clues to your purpose all around you -- and bigger clues still to the Universe. It's all a game -- start searching for the clues.



Have fun!!⁠

ARE YOU IN THE FLOW?

There is a poetic flow to life, and we're all around it. Some of us are in the river, floating down the stream merrily. Some are on the shore watching others pass them by. Some are in the depths, spinning and gasping for breath. And some are at the bottom, forgotten how to swim. ⁠
⁠
It doesn't matter where you are in the flow right now. Just know you're in it. Take a chance and believe. Once you're aware that there is a flow to life, to creativity, to everything....then you can figure out where you are, and plan where you want to go.⁠
⁠
But staying ignorant, putting your head in the sand, pretending you're okay, and this is what life's about -- is just wasting your precious time. ⁠
⁠
You've got about 100+/- years here -- do you like what you're doing? How you're feeling? Who you are? Have you questioned that yet? If not, why? Are you afraid? Has someone told you not to question? If so, that's a big WHY to ask. ⁠
⁠
The more we wake up to the amount of creative energy life force we each have locked up inside of us, and release it with loving kindness, the more love and freedom the human race will achieve. The more this place will return to its original purpose---the garden and we the stewards. Where all knowledge is shared, all creativity enjoyed, and all beings respected and honored. ⁠
⁠
So, start asking the questions, especially the ones that scare you....because there's a reason why you've been told not to ask. There's a reason why you're being treated like you can't take care of yourself. There's a reason why you're made to think how to eat, sleep, work, make love, and live a certain way. Wake up! You weren't meant to live your life in a box with other half alive people doing what you're told to do and buying what you're told to buy. ⁠



Question why, how, when, who, where! Question everything - especially those things deemed wrong, illegal, immoral, ignorant, or dark. Question the "unlucky" 13's - black cats - moon rituals - wolves - plant medicines - cycles - blood - and rituals, and all those things that have been hidden or taken from you and your tribes.



Question anything that makes you feel something - especially if it makes you feel worried, ashamed, angry, excited, new, alive, and confused.
⁠
Choose freedom!⁠ You are here to live --- by your feelings, emotions, body clock, and senses - not someone else's.
