Self-Care Affirmations

Happy Holidays! December is the time of darkness, as we move towards Winter Solstice, when the light returns. During this time, we are guided to go within and cultivate our own light. This is a deep remembering of who we are. For me, this remembering is, “I am a Spirit having a human experience.” I easily forget this when I am out in the world. When we are connected to our own illuminated heart, we connect to others in this way, and bring more light to the world. As you spend time with family and friends, share with one another the gifts of light and love. I hope that you will take the time to go within and connect to your own unique luminosity with these self-care sessions. Fill yourself up, so that you can share your light and love with the world this holiday season.

Welcome to November a month for gratitude and abundance. Many of us look out into the world and see only chaos. Nothing seems to be going smoothly and intense pressures fill the Earthly energy container. No one is immune from this pressure; as things all around us appear to be shifting and changing we require healthy strategies to ride this wave of change. This is a perfect time to plant seeds for what we want to create, so that we can be filled with light and positive energy. It is not possible to operate to our fullest potential if we are caught in the energetic vibration of scarcity. So, take time to listen to your body, rest and focus on what you want and fill yourself with including rich planetary vibrations.

Trees are showing their displays of color in gratitude for the wonderful year. Soon they will release their leaves and go inward. This is one aspect of the energy of Fall, the season of the Metal Element. Just like the trees, the Metal Element is here to encourage us to receive inspiration and release what no longer serves us. Take time every day to acknowledge with appreciation what inspires you and let go of what you no longer need. Create a practice of gratitude and self-care. Be thankful for all you have and filling yourself up will allow you to be in flow with the season of Fall.

September is a time to harvest. Time to reap what we have sown. In the beginning of September, we nourish our Earth element and at the end of the month as we move into Fall a time to support our Metal element. Take time to nurture yourself by using one of these self-care tips. Notice what you have grown that is now ready to harvest. Receive what is truly yours, as you Deserve it!

ON A WALK THROUGH our 35-acre property, you'll hear and see chimes, bells, and gongs. We've surrounded ourselves with nature and music, and when we founded the Acutonics Institute of Integrative Medicine (www.Acutonics.com), we never imagined that our model for the direct application of sound vibration in all aspects of life would relocate from Seattle, Washington, to the mountains of rural northern New Mexico to better carry out that mission.

Welcome to August! Fire summer is coming to a close as we move into the period known as late summer or the Earth element here in the Northern Hemisphere. The heat of summer will be cooling off at the end of August or so we hope. Record highs have been reported all over the world. I believe one way to look at all this heat is to see it as a burning off of things we no longer need. This allows us to get closer to our own hearts and our true self. Then when harvest season arrives in just a few weeks we will be reaping the harvest of our true selves with a deeper connection to our hearts and Unity of All. Please continue practicing your own self-care. You are the support for many in your communities and to give as much as you do, YOU need to fill up! Please take time for a self-care FILL UP!

A profound sense of relaxation seems to be an almost universal experience for those receiving an Acutonics session. Clients often comment that the relaxation they feel from harmonic “sound baths” is the only stress-free part of their day. We know that other Acutonics practitioners have had similar feedback and have observed the decreased tension reflected in the clients’ body language.

Summer is here, the element is fire and it rules our hearts. The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, brought an incredible amount of light to Earth. This flood of light illuminates the dark spots within us, that remain hidden and are ready to be healed. This time can be especially challenging when we don’t know what to do or how to even approach our personal healing work. Yet, our heart calls us to do the work and to live from our heart space.

The growth and energy of Spring brings the joy and dance of Summer’s Fire. Self-care is an important key to enable us to dance in joy. Fill yourself up, so you can receive and give. Here are some suggestions for sessions that do just that.

The wonderful season of Spring continues as we move into May. The weather has been a bit crazy as well as the vibrations here on planet Earth. Self-care is so important during these times of transition. We must fill ourselves up to be able to give to others. We cannot pour from an empty cup, so it is time to gather your tools, find a quiet 15-30 minutes, and give yourself a tune-up.
