5 Ways to Handle Cranky Days

We’ve all had mornings where we’ve either woken up too early or not had a good night’s sleep. And we all know what that feels like. Here’s what you could do if the crankiness lingers on too long, or begins to feel unpleasant.

  1. Avoid interacting with people while cranky.  Those who know you well enough will understand and keep a distance. If your child decides to suddenly bombard you with demands gently explain to him or her that you need a little time out to find your calm and hopefully he/she will understand.
  2.  Time Out. Yes just concentrate on doing things which relax you. I find soothing music helps take the edge off a cranky morning within minutes. Sometimes a brisk walk or a jog helps release the energy.
  3. Help someone who’s struggling with a difficult time. It could be an encouraging message. A prayer. A plan to meet up. Just step into their shoes.  Empathy between two people brings positive energy almost instantly.
  4. Express yourself. Write out what’s bothering you. Doodle or colour. The act of expression releases pent up feelings in a safe and peaceful way.
  5. Bergamot, Ylang Ylang and Orange are a few essential oils you can burn in the room or apply to your pulse points for a sense of calm and wellbeing.

Remember crankiness doesn’t last. And if we handle it with conscious awareness, the feelings do eventually subside and peace reigns again.

Singing with my Himalayan Singing Bowl

Meet my Himalayan Singing Bowl. Gifted to me by a visiting Regressionist from New Zealand over 10 years ago, this ancient healing tool is one of my prized tools  for balancing and healing, cleansing and purifying not just me and my family and clients, but also my home and office. I love playing it walking from room to room or simply meditating with it. It is not uncommon to find people owning 3-4 of these, playing each one alternatively. Me, I’m happy with just one.

According to the Tibetans, these bowls have been around since Buddha’s times and are the quintessential aid for meditation, healing and cleansing practices. They produce a sound that immediately balances our brains, our chakras and deeply relaxes those who hear it. Meditating on the sound helps tune one into the universal sounds of  Universe. Easily available at alternative healing stores and Tibetan antique/handicraft shops, Himalayan Tibetan bowls should always be tested before purchase.

For an idea of what it sounds like, do listen to this video here. And if you’d like a live demonstration after a Tarot/Healing session, I’d be more than happy to play it for you :):)

We’ve all had times in our lives when we felt devoid of energy, listless and completely disinterested with life. Thankfully, it is a temporary condition for most of us. But, for those who feel tired often or are simply fatigued, here are some crystals which help uplift the energy and spirits.

Easily available with jewellers, feng shui and crystal healing stores, these crystals are affordable, have no side effects but must be cleansed under running water at least once after buying them. They may be worn as jewellery in the form of bracelets, pendants or rings or placed in strategic corners of your home and office.

Here are some Crystals which can work as energy boosters.

Clear Quartz (Sphatika)
Available in cut or polished form and in raw clusters, clear quartz has been hailed as ‘battery of the soul’ by healers over centuries. It not only helps dispel toxins but helps restore our body’s energy balance. The quartz is beneficial for the mind, body and the spirit. A clear quartz works at all levels, bringing in a sense of calm, clarity and harmony.

Green Tourmaline (Turmali)
Deep leaf green in hue, this semi precious stone is found in most jewellery shops. Also known as verdalite, it is best worn as a pendant or a bracelet in silver. It works as an all round healer, restoring the balance and bringing back positive energy. It not just dispels toxins and fears but aids in restful sleep and raising energy levels too.

Ametrine

A powerful combination of both amethyst and citrine, this purple and yellow stone helps you get clarity. It thus improves our focus and brings in harmony, making us optimistic. This stone will help you find a solution to any problem.

Citrine (Sunehla)

Ranging in shades from yellow to brown, citrine is hailed as the carrier of the sun’s rays. It is a powerful cleanser and regenerator of body cells. It works as an effective chakra activator and energizer; especially the solar plexus chakra (at the stomach). It also brings in joy and improves your physical energy too.

Healing crystals work in restoring energy, vitality and harmony into a person’s life. Slow and sure, these gifts of mother nature have helped millions of people through time. They can be used as effective complementary healing aids to reduce stress, anxiety and tiredness.

How to help your child during Exam time

Book-Candle

As parents we all know the joys and pains of bringing up a kid in today’s day and age. Admit, we were a better generation in terms of conscientiousness and responsibility, but didn’t our parents also think the same of themselves when it came to us? And yet, all parents want nothing more than to see their child happy, and do their best during exam time. Our children too know this fully well, and in our quest to see our children grow up and excel in a world that’s becoming more competitive with each passing day and so uncertain.

 

Here are a few tips or learnings which may help us give greater support, encouragement and confidence to our children during the final exams.

 

  1. Children absorb our feelings. If we are tense about their performance, or stressed they sense it and most of the time adopt the feeling as their own. A mother who paces around the house while her children study will probably have children who cannot sit down and focus. Your best advice is to stay calm. Consciously relax yourself, go for a walk and even if you’re afraid Junior is going to bring a dismal result, make sure Junior doesn’t sense that feeling.
  2. Set a routine and stress on the importance of healthy habits. Explain to your young one that studying last minute is not the best way to do things and reiterate the importance of a good night’s sleep and of course, nutritionally balanced meals. Boost their vitamin intake do try to minimize the junk food, especially sugar before bed times.
  3. Work and Play. Minimise the TV watching and try and get the whole family to avoid watching the idiot box altogether while you’re child is studying. The last thing our kids need is a noisy distraction! Pick up a book, do a crossword instead, children learn best by example
  4. Lemon essential oil or incense sticks boost concentration and clarity. A few drops of Lemon/Orange essential oil in the bath water may give that extra alertness required on exam days.
  5. Make sure your child releases the stress with some form of physical exercise daily even if it’s a brisk walk with you in the evenings. Small stress balls which the child can squeeze before the paper helps release the tension especially if your child is a little anxious.
  6. Remember, nothing helps a child succeed the way a parent who believes in his or her child does. Praise your child for his efforts and express confidence. After all, if you wont, who will.

Are you a Water Baby?

Do you generally like being in or around large bodies of water like the sea or the lake? Are your happiest childhood memories around splashing in the sea?

Do you find you are able to relax instantly with the sound of running water?

Chances are you’re a Water Baby who is most calm and natural around water. The curative powers of water are well known but water babies have a special affinity with these precious drops of existence.

 

According to alternative healing water heals at all levels – mind, body and soul. Here are a few practices involving water healing:

 

The Sound of Water is said to lower blood pressure, bring tranquility and clarity to the mind and reduce anger and sadness as it allows us to look at our problems objectively and with calm.

 

The science of Hydrotherapy uses water to rejuvenate, maintain and bring back health. Treatments could range from steam baths, foot baths to the application of compresses. Aquatic physiotherapy involves bringing relief and mobility to the joints in a heated pool environment as well as spinal and orthopaedic ailments to name a few.

 

Water is vital to our survival and our healing. Water not only cleans our skin but detoxifies us internally and soothes us on the mental plane.

 

In Ayurveda, sipping hot water throughout the day aids and strengthens the digestive system and promote inner balance.

 

The Water element is one of the 5 basic elements or characteristics of Chi in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every one of us is a unique blend of the influences of all the elements – namely water, wind, earth, fire and metal. Symbolising the kidney and the bladder, imbalances in the water element leads to ailments like water retention, infertility, night sweats and anxiety.

 

Used in traditional purification rituals in almost all cultures, Water in its essence symbolizes purity, cleanliness and peace.

 

Water heals inside and out. Even if we’re not water babies we still need it to live and stay healthy in the body, in the mind and in the soul. Drinking 8 glasses is a widely recommended by all doctors for hydration and inner harmony.

How to Help your child with Night Terrors

18 Thursday Jan 2018

Anyone who has ever woken up to the sounds of terror in the middle of the night knows how exactly our children are affected by nightmares. Most common between the ages of 2 and 4 years old, nightmares are a by product of the growing imagination of a young child and his or her ability to absorb and react to a number of stimuli during his or her waking hours. Some kids rarely have nightmares while others may wake up screaming several times a week or a night. Fears may vary from child to child but are a normal part of the growing years up till their teens.

 

Most kids outgrow this phase and their nightmares can be handled by the parent. However if the frequency increases or the child refuses to go to school or even get into the bedroom, it could be symptomatic of some serious stress in your child’s life and you may need to seek the advice of a child therapist.

 

If your child is experiencing nightmares here’s how you can help.

 

  1. Reassurance is critical. Some parents find by hugging the child and soothing him or her the anxiety levels decrease. Empathise with your little one and understand to him, his fear is very real. Remind him how safe he is and assure him of protection.
  2. Protective mantras, amulets and even a piece of iron under the bed has been used for centuries by parents as a means to ward off anxiety and negative energies.
  3. Lavender and Roman Chamomile essential oils promote restful sleep and work well with children.
  4. In colour therapy, pastel shades and light yellow in the bedroom are believed to promote a sense of calm, peace and courage.
  5. Healing crystals like Agate when placed beneath the pillow makes sleep deeper, calmer and more recuperative. Amazonite works well during phases of anxiety and stress and is best worn as a bracelet or a pendant. Like with a crystals, it is best to get them cleansed and energized by an energy healer before use.
  6. Avoid fear inducing stimulants before bedtime especially violent or scary TV shows and bedtime stories with scary themes or villains. Though the child may appear calm before bedtime, his subconscious absorbs and replays the images during deep sleep.
  7. Prayers before bedtime and placing of holy books by the bedside always reassure the child.

 

Finally, patience and love work wonders with nightmares in kids. As with all phases of childhood, this too shall pass.

Blessings x infinity

Every one of us on this planet is blessed in some way. Though at times we may not know it, or even believe it, we are. The greatest blessing is the gift of life. Following that comes other blessings in our life from the basic (food, shelter, our loved ones) to more unique ones, like a gift or skill we may possess.

We all know that counting our blessings is perhaps the fastest way to usher in positive energy when we need it. But how many of us bless others for being in our lives, for caring for us, and being there when we need them. Blessing others is not something to be practised by our elders but by all of us on a regular basis.  When we consciously appreciate another person we bless them, and  we wish for good things to come their way.  And promote the cycle of positivity and abundance. When we go a step further and bless those who have hurt us, or wronged us we break the chain of negative energy that flows from us or towards us. And replace it with a positive stream of energy.

After all, what we give out comes back to us.

Healing from Heartbreak

“We cannot learn without pain” Aristotle

Whenever the 3 of Swords appears in someone’s reading I wince. The card of heartbreak, sorrow and betrayal symbolizes deep emotional pain in the querent’s life. And as all of us know pain is hard enough to experience but sometimes even harder to hear about.

Recently I met a woman who’s fiancée decided to break the engagement after 2 years of courtship. Shocked by his decision and deeply angered about discovering the other woman who had taken his place she was determined to find her answers with the help of the Tarot.

“How can I heal from heartbreak?”

I winced a little more as over the years I’d learnt that some forms of grief just have to be lived through, and there was no pill that would take away her pain. This would take time and she would need to be patient.

Her cards revealed a time for absolute self honesty. For a start, it would help to admit feelings of hurt to herself. Hiding behind feelings of anger, calling him repeatedly demanding explanations was simply aggravating the situation. What would help would be time out for herself, to cry and process the grief.

Further cards indicated a time of confusion, blame and resentment but it would pass.

“How long will it take?”

“As long as it needs”. Different people respond to heartbreak differently. Some move on after a few weeks, others hold on to the pain for weeks, months and years. Clearly what was required was a willingness to go through this painful process one day at a time and some day wake up and realize that the hurt no longer exists. Patience reveals her lessons in different ways and she would need to learn. Just like there is no magical cure for a virus, it would help to accept whatever happened and allow the heartbreak to run its course.

She began to cry again and we sat together in silence. Her tears would flow repeatedly over the following weeks and somewhere she was learning that heartbreak is a part of growing up.
Her final question was to find out if she would meet someone else. And the cards revealed a fresh start, another young man who’d shower her with love and affection and success in her job.

Her tears didn’t stop at that point but there was a glimmer of a smile. Hopefully I prayed silently, she has found a reason to move on.

Her story is not a rare one. All of us have faced heartbreak at some point in time in our lives and though there is no perfect way to heal nor an escape from pain, here are a few suggestions which I pray help.

1.        Ultimately we all have to move on from the ending of a painful relationship. And it’s different for all of us. Some of us heal faster and some take time. Be patient with yourself if you’ve just broken up, and if a friend of yours is recovering, be patient with him or her.
2.        Don’t start about thinking about being friends with your ex immediately. Your first relationship has to be one with yourself. Be your own best friend, pick up the pieces and slowly build back your sense of self.
3.        Express your pain and anger. Bottling it up only makes it worse, talk to loved ones or a counselor and simply let it out. Crying helps.
4.        Learn to trust again. All relationships involve risks and the expression of Free will. Don’t let one bad experience make you believe all men/women will hurt you again.
5.        Work on building back your self esteem. Surround yourself by people who love and appreciate you.
6.        Rose Quartz, Rose Incense and Himalayan Salt Lamps are excellent soothers and aids in the process of healing.

Talk your way to wellness

While studying about self healing a few years ago I had come across the concept of talking to your cells. Achievable in a meditative state, it involved focussing on the area, organ, or muscle that was hurting or diseased and literally, sending positive affirmations to that spot. Combined with energy healing techniques and approached holistically it seemed to have helped countless people around the world. Especially when viewed from the perspective of mind, body soul connections, it gave me an indepth look at why a certain illness may have manifested. The physical manifestation was the last in the process, tracing its roots to our spirit and our mind. For example, a person who represses feelings or doesnt speak out, may, over time have issues related to thyroid and a perpetual sore and painful throat.

Every part of our bodies is governed by our soul and our thoughts. And too many times when we say “Oh I have bad knees” “My digestion is not good” “I am a terrible sleeper” ‘My back is weak” we are simply prolonging and in a way worsening our ailments. But if we begin to look at our bodies as our temple, our space for healing, purification and our friends till the end and begin to send positive messages to it, our body does heal.

A couple of months ago my knees began to hurt during my daily walks. It had reached a point where I began to get so anxious about the pain, it began while I wore my shoes. A trip to the orthopaedic, follow up xrays and blood tests revealed nothing wrong. So what was I blocking? Research revealed, painful knees were atitudes I was holding onto, issues of stubborness and control, plus of course the fact that I would think “my bad knees wont let me walk for more than 2-3km” I was making things worse for myself. And so I began to talk to my knees during meditation using positive affirmations like “My knees are getting stronger each day” and “I am flexible to adapting to Life’s changes” “I let go of beliefs and atitudes that no longer serve me” and “I am willing to walk through my fears” and gradually over a couple of weeks I began to see a positive difference.

Affirmations, self talk, communicating directly to the cells may seem zany at first, but it does work. The next time you wake up with a twinge in your back, or an itch in your throat, take a few minutes to meditate and go inwards. See if you can visualise the spot which hurts and just say to yourself “I am healing” Find out what attitudes you may be holding on to, or emotions you may be suppressing. Address them. Talk about them. Let them go with love. After all, its time we all loved our self more, cells and all.

If you are keen to explore this, contact me for a Guided Healing Meditation. And we can begin by talking your way to wellness.

Fewer Things. Greater Peace

“The inside of a house or apartment after decluttering has much in common with a Shinto shrine… a place where there are no unnecessary things, and our thoughts become clear.” Marie Kondo

If there’s one thing I enjoy doing, it’s decluttering. The more possessions I throw, give, recycle or donate, the lighter I feel. Earlier I would declutter twice a year, but now, over the past few months the feeling to let go of surplus things has intensified. Maybe it’s because Im growing older and dont really need to keep up with the trends, or leading a quieter existence relinquishing the need to clutter my home with object d’art or new crockery. Whatever it is, I am driven by a strong desire to just let go. And the more I purge, the better I feel.

Somewhere it’s not just my cupboards which are free of stagnant energies, my mind too feels more at peace. I have realised not everything has nostalgic value, not everything will be needed at some other date, and not everything I hoarded in the past brought me joy.

I have resolved to declutter my home by a further 30% and I must thank Marie Kondo the best selling author of  “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up – The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organising”  who says “To truly cherish the things that are important to you, you must first discard those that have outlived their purpose. And if you no longer need them, then that is neither wasteful nor shameful. Can you truthfully say that you treasure something buried so deeply in a cupboard or drawer that you have forgotten its existence?”
