Why We Need To Say I Love You Now More Than Ever

By Jennifer Elizabeth Masters

No matter where we live, whether within the United States, Canada, The Netherlands, France, the UK, Belgium, South Africa, India or Canada, the uncertainty of the safety of our world is in question. 

Whether you loved Trump or hated him, most of us are impacted by the news or concerns for our future. The following is Divine Guidance to help you navigate the coming days, weeks and months.

We are here at this time for a reason. We signed up to be present during the world's most tumultuous and changing times. The government of The United States is crumbling, and that can be a scary thing. The systems that aren't working for us any longer cannot stand with the rising vibration of our earth and universe. 

In a time when people are rising and Ascending, lies, double standards, racism, hatred, misogyny, abuse, corruption, fascism, are all being witnessed by those in the highest places of power. The shadow parts of humanity are rising to the surface like cream in a bucket of milk. All of us are being pressed, prodded and squeezed to heal our inner darkness, love more deeply, and to rise above the melee.´ 

Does It Really Need To Be Said?

Now more than ever we need to give love to ourselves and others. Rather than beating ourselves up for misjudging or not rising to the occasion; congratulate yourself. Rather than being upset with yourself for missing a deadline, recognize that you didn't have all the information and new opportunities are presenting themselves to you now. 

Praise yourself for completing a task. Praise and congratulate yourself for sitting still and tapping into your higher wisdom by being silent. 

Find the joy of being alive during our world's most amazing time. 

We can't stop the change that's coming any more than we can stop the ocean's tides. The view might be ugly at times. Instead of focusing on what Trump is doing that is "wrong," find the humor in the irony. Instead of being righteous or angry at Trump's lashing out on Twitter find the humor in the fact that our president is even tweeting!

Give love to you. Tell yourself how wonderful you are. Say, "I love you" to yourself often. Tell your loved ones you love them.

Daily Practices To Calm The Mind

1. Meditate daily. Sit upright turning your eyeballs up toward the ceiling for a few minutes to quiet the mind. Close your eyes with your eyeballs turned upward. Relax your shoulders. Don't worry about the thoughts. Focusing on the errant thoughts only makes them stronger. Allow them to pass through your mind. Use a mantra to focus your mind.

Bring your focus to your heart. Most people begin to meditate from their minds which can be problematic due to the mind chatter. We want to get into our heart center. There are several ways to get into your heart. You can begin noticing your feet and the energy in your feet. Slowly focus on your ankles and their energy of aliveness. Move up to your calves, noticing the energy there. Move upward into your thighs, then abdomen and fall backward into your heart chakras in the center of your chest. Meditating from your heart will connect you to your High Self and your Divine. Gradually, you will find it progressively easier to get into your heart with greater speed. Speed isn't the focus, however. Be patient with yourself. It will get so much easier the more you practice. 

I coached a delightful spiritual woman from India who said she couldn't meditate. Within three months her mind was completely quiet of all mind chatter!

2. Use mantras daily. Mantras are a positive statement, similar to an affirmation that changes brain waves from incongruent to congruent. Brain waves become smooth, elongated, relaxing not only our mind but also creating a positive vibration within our body.

Mantras can be used out loud or in the quiet background of your mind. Using a mantra will shift worrisome thoughts because you are giving your mind something to do. Mantras slip beyond our conscious mind into our unconscious mind where they de-stress and calm.

I am worthy

I am deserving

I am loveable

I am loved

I love me

3. Combine meditation and a mantra with nature by walking outside. Nature soothes our soul. Walking outside and just saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you" with each step could be your Sunday walk in nature. Use a simple mantra while walking, "I love me." Give love to you in this beautiful way as often as possible. 

I love you,

Now go and love you!

 17 Ways To Self-Care

by JENNIFER ELIZABETH MASTERS on June 27, 2013

Being kind to ourselves is often the last thing we think about with our busy schedules. Loving yourself nurtures your soul and nourishes your mind, body and spirit. Taking care of yourself is an act of loving kindness to Self. Giving yourself the much needed me-time will help you have more to offer your clients, family and friends. Giving to the point of feeling depleted is not taking care of yourself and is self-defeating. 

What does self care really mean? 

Rather than pleasing others you please yourself. Rather than making excuses and whining for being tired, you take a nap. You don't feel guilty for saying "No" when your plate is already full. 

When your have no more clean clothes to wear, you do your laundry. When you begin to feel over-whelmed or stressed, it is a sign you need to take care of you. Here are 17 ways to nurture your mind-body-spirit to regenerate and renew.

1. Take your dog for a long walk out in nature. Being outside alone will raise your vibration. Stop along the way to smell the flowers and other scents in the air. Adamantine particles in the air outside replenish, restore and cleanse you (raising your spirits and vibration)

     2.  Turn off your cell phone. Sometimes you just have to shut it off. Knowing that the phone
           will not ring for an hour or two can help to re-boot your energy.

     3.  Take a day off from using your computer. Sitting in front of your computer day after day 
            for 8 or more hours can leave you feeling out of whack and agitated. A break from 
            microwave technology and Wifi energy can help you feel grounded and more peaceful.

     4.  Read the book you have been putting off. Learning something new can raise your spirits
           and nurtures your mind. 

      5. Meditate or sit in silence for 20 minutes. Meditating on compassion has been 
           Scientifically proven to increase happiness and joy.

      6.  Go for a swim in your community pool. Swimming can be meditative and get your heart 
           rate up at the same time. Raising your heart rate for 20 minutes or more will burn 
           calories, and reset your energy. Since our bodies are more than 90% water swimming
           is very nurturing.

       7. Watch a funny movie. Laughing can helps us relax and just enjoy the moment.

       8.  Call a friend or family member you have not spoken to in a long while. Deep
             conversations with loved ones can renew you and increase levels of happiness.

       9.  Eat a healthy and nourishing meal. Sit down and relax while you eat, rather than
             rushing or eating while you work. Healthy food can raise your spirits and vibration
             quickly. Knowing you are feeding your body healthy food also is a boost for your body 
             as it gets nutritious food and is completely guilt-free, an added bonus.

     10.  Go to the beach. The ocean air and salt water is revitalizing and cleansing. There is
             nothing like salt water and a beach to ground, renew and restore your mind, body and 
             spirit.

     11.   Forgive yourself. We place a lot of stress on ourselves in our work day. Forgive yourself 
             for what you have not accomplished so far. Holding onto guilt and shame lowers your
             vibration and causes long term health issues like Fibromyalgia and other immune 
             disorders.

     12.   Take a nap. Or go to bed early. Getting enough sleep can make a huge difference in how
              you perform during your work day. It can make the difference between being able to cope
             and having a melt-down. 

     13.   Spend time watching your children, or someone else's children play. Sometimes we 
              forget how good play makes us feel. Watching a child enjoy the moment without worries 
              teaches us how to do the same. 

     14.   Go to a park or Botanical Garden. Enjoying the scents and beauty of roses and orchids
              lightens your spirit and brings more beauty into your world. 

    15.    Do yoga. Yoga helps center you and brings you peace. Gentle stretching in yoga is so
              beneficial for the body. The added bonus is the great yoga butt you get without much 
              effort!

    16.    Take a trip. Nothing restores the soul like traveling to a new destination. Sure you might
              have a favorite place you visit, but traveling to someplace new excites the mind and 
              raises your happiness quotient.

    17.   Write. Whether it is a personal journal or several pages in the book you want to publish
             one day, writing can put you in the zone of optimum experience very quickly.  

With Love and Abundance,
Jennifer
