The sun is shining brightly, cascading over fallen leaves, pouring itself through bare branches and doing what it does best, providing life and restoration to planet Earth. We’re very blessed here in Sacramento to have a real change of seasons, and soon the sunny days will give way to rainy, foggy ones that are crisp with cold. 

At the same time, and on “safe to burn” days, the smell of firewood will fill the air here; and although we may not get snow in Sacramento, the drive that allows children to play on snow-packed hills or parents to ski down snowy slopes is only an hour away. 

The season also, besides providing a type of restful beauty is a time of reflection, a space for re-evaluation of last year’s choices and gratitude for its blessings. This time of year was meant to be a time of quiet and rest, respite from the harder labors of life and a haven for cementing dreams and goals onto the Sea of Consciousness, the Field of All Potential. 

Picked up clearly and passionately, with gratitude and trust as carrier winds, goals and visions of what will be for us are written on the forehead of the Field of All Potential. This is our birthright, and to know that, to realize that, to experience that, is to Self-Actualize. It is remembering Who You Are. 

In this magical season, amidst the hustle and bustle, as it’s written of the season, take time for the wisdom and magic of all ages to drift down through your consciousness. Breathe! Breathe often throughout the day and feel Gratitude for a year of life, marked in linear measures, that is passing. See the New Year as an initiation into All Possibilities. See it as a fresh start and a chance for new visions to manifest. 

Relax and Breathe into this well deserved time of beauty, love and reflection. Give to yourself warmth, self-love, and perhaps service to others who have less than you do. Enjoy the sun through almost bare tree limbs and carpets of leaves, and appreciate yourself as the Observer. 

I’ve always been interested in how belief and inspired action relate to and impact our health. I don’t want to focus on poor health here but quickly will cover at least two scenarios of how I’ve seen thinking impact health negatively. As a nutritionist and counselor I know that ongoing mental, emotional or physical stressors create Adrenal burnout, high blood pressure and hypertension. I’ve learned and I do believe that we store anger in the liver; in that case, unresolved and suppressed anger can only do harm to our valuable liver. 

Everything in the Universe is energy and we are Energetic Beings. Energetically speaking when we are stressed we are in fear, afraid that there isn’t enough time, money, opportunity or resources. That fear is energetically powerful and will attract exactly what we are working so stressfully to avoid: lack and limitation. Suppressed anger becomes ever more powerful every time a situation arises which gives the opportunity to speak up for SELF, and instead we opt-out in favor of swallowing our truth yet one more time. 

When stress and anger (simply examples here) are never addressed, not only could a person experience an outside world that does not feel supportive and friendly but the very personally felt body begins to relay back that same imbalance. And, when inside we experience imbalance, non-coherence, we experience illness which has many faces. 

To get back on track it is important to get a sense of the body when it was at its best. It is important to visualize and imagine great results as if they are already happening, and as if they are a memory in present time. That is how we turn the creative process to our benefit. We let doctors worry about disease; meanwhile, we trust that there is always enough for us in time, money, support, love, opportunity and health; and more than that, we trust that we deserve the best and that, all by ourselves, we are enough in the present moment. In those moments of re-creation our energy begins to shift. The principle of like attracts like works to our benefit and we begin once again to be a magnet for those healthy, prosperous, loving and joy-filled experiences we truly deserve. 

The human body responds in like manner. It remembers the ease with which it is designed to be. The subconscious mind, always connected to the Whole of Universal Consciousness does what it really is designed to do: heal the body perfectly. 

Remember who you are. You are connected. You are a degree of Divinity in form which is no difference at all from the Divine except by degree. You are a healing machine designed to last forever. Feel who you truly are. Make that your sentient-rich visualization.
