Here’s a picture of my kitchen where lately I have been wondering if Dalai Lama ever filled and emptied a dishwasher and if he could have remained enlightened during the pandemic if he did 🧐. As we move through these times, I am finding more and more that self-healing is no longer an optional luxury. How you tend to yourself determines the quality of your life – and how you do your dishes.

Self-healing I am talking about is not self-curing. It is bringing your body, emotions, and energy back into balance again and again and again. You can work with a Healer like me to jump start or accelerate your healing. But a daily self-healing practice is a must not only for your well-being but for maintaining a healthy relationship with everyone and everything around you -including the dishes.

Here are a few things that I currently love and are helping me with tending to my needs:

This beautiful oracle deck

This book for morning and evening encouragement

This tool for body play

This face massager

This yummy gluten free treat

This no-wash shampoo replacement (it really works!)

If you need help with daily self-healing, check out the Chakra Bliss Vault Energy Healing Membership, where you can find crystal healing sessions to help you add more balance into your life. Even if you only have 5 minutes to yourself, you can make it infinitely more potent with crystal healing.

With love, light, and lots of gratitude,

P. S. I have been working on my next journal project: 40 Days Of Gratitude. I will tell you more about it soon. In the meantime, you can check out my other three journals for daily self-healing practices.

I have been thinking a lot about inner journeys. Ultimately, self-healing is an inner journey, one that you get to take over and over again. You don’t wake up one day and you are done healing. In fact for me it often goes like this:

• I wake up. Despite nine hours of sleep, I haven’t rested. I feel some sort of discomfort, unease, or anxiety already brewing and stirring in me.
• I get myself downstairs to drink water or have a bite while I feed my cat and daughter at the same time.
• Before I work, I stop. I pay attention. I ask myself what I need. Some days I sit in meditation. Other days I do EFT Tapping. Mostly, I just listen to a Monthly Energy Tune-Up from the Chakra Bliss Vault, where I know I will be held in unconditional love. I either sit in seated meditation or curl up in a fetal position in my bed (depending on the kind of day) while I listen. If I don’t have 30 minutes, I listen to the 5 Minutes of Meeting Your Energetic Needs Mini Energy Tune Up. I get calm, my tension dissolves in small waves. I can breathe again. I listen for inner guidance. I ask for the next small step. I hear the soul of life cheering me on. I am ready to take on the day.
• I can finally get to work, write, share, feel, and heal others, and support my family’s and my physical, emotional, and energetic needs. Then I feel depleted again.
• Then I pause and ask myself what I need again…

So the cycle continues. There is no end. The healing is constant. I breathe, I notice, I love and I adjust my energy and outlook, and I keep breathing.

I know that every little bit of self-healing I can do will be helpful. I know that it matters that I take the time to calm down the roaring waves of my nervous system. I know that even if it doesn’t feel like I am making a huge jump, having a great aha moment, or I may or may not feel good again the next morning, my healing adds up drop by drop and I am progressing in a spiraling growth pattern.

This is all that I ask of myself these days: pay attention, make time for self-healing, and keep making progress small bit by small bit.

This is all that you need to do to start to heal: pause, breathe, notice, and love. There is no destination, only the journey of learning to hold yourself in more and more tenderness every time you need to be held.

If you would like to be held in love while you breathe and listen within, check out the Chakra Bliss Vault Energy Healing Membership.

With love, light, and deep gratitude,
