ANYONE... I'm sharing this with you today as a to 💜

AND...

Lighten the f*ck up.

No, seriously.

We're out here yelling at 4-year-olds for dripping yogurt on the floor.

Freaking out because their socks don't match.

Losing it because they dared to giggle instead of brush their teeth.

And listen - this isn't judgment

This WAS me.

Because I was tired, triggered, dysregulated.

And holding my kids to standards I couldn't even meet myself.

I wasn't enjoying them.

I was managing them.

Trying to control everything so tightly, that I forgot how to laugh.

How to play.

How to be in the moment.

You want the truth?

Your kid won't remember that their shirt was inside out at church.

They will remember if you screamed at them for it.

So ask yourself:

Is this really worth yelling over?

Or am I passing down perfectionism, fear and shame
disguised as "good parenting"?

I had to relearn how to regulate my nervous system.

How to actually control my anger.

Not just stuff it down or explode.

And when I did?

The joy came back.

The fun.

The connection.

The freedom to be silly and human and imperfect together.

Because every day, we have a choice:

Control our kids through fear.

Or lead them with calm, flexible presence.

REMEMBER - connection over control 🙏💜

Today's is about Diaphragmatic breathing 😃

Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as abdominal or belly breathing, is a deep breathing technique that engages the diaphragm (a large, dome-shaped muscle at the base of the lungs).

Instead of shallow breaths from the chest, this method involves breathing deeply into the abdomen, allowing the belly to rise on inhalation and fall on exhalation.

It promotes relaxation, improves oxygen exchange, and can reduce stress, lower heart rate, and support overall respiratory efficiency.

Heyyyy Kindred Spirits 🤠 !!
Stacy Lynn Tuning-In with some for cord cutting ✂️
Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!!

I would say cord cutting doesn't have to have a negative connotation and can be thought of in different terms like "healthy detachment."

This article uses the term "cord cutting" which I don't have an aversion to, but, some might, which is why I added in the switch of the terms to, 😘

Cutting Energy Cords

Not everyone we connect with is healthy for us to be around. Often we don’t realise just how harmful or dysfunctional a relationship is until we have emotionally invested in the relationship. This can make it difficult to walk away from people with whom we have feelings for, but know we shouldn’t remain around. Our mind rationally tells us one thing, whereas our heart and emotions tell us something entirely different, which can hold us magnetically bound.

Whenever we bond with someone, attachment cords (energetic ties) are created, which travel from our heart chakra to the other person’s heart chakra, or from solar plexus to solar plexus, as this is the chakra directly related to our emotions.

Scientific research has found that our thoughts, attitudes, and emotions emit a powerful energetic field that other people can sense, therefore it connects us energetically to those around us.

When cords have been formed we have direct access to another person’s emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical state, as well as their intentions and capabilities, which also enable a transfer of energy.

Energetic cords can carry information that offers a detailed insight. This enables us to read someone else’s energy clearly, and they also allow us to send and receive emotions. Cords enable us to energetically communicate and are often the reason we feel like we just know information about the other person without any words or actions.

However, cords can also drain and deplete us if we are radiating too much energy through them, or if the other person is aware that a cord is in place and their impulse is to draw on the energy we are radiating purely for their own benefit (also known as energy vampires). This can happen when we have entered a relationship with someone, believing they have good intentions, when they have no desire to establish anything meaningful, and they may even manipulate us in the hope of gaining something.

Deciding that we want to move on from previous experiences is not always enough. Sometimes we need to consciously and energetically disconnect emotions and feelings, and really feel we are ready to make a clean break.

If we want to let go of an attachment to someone, we can choose to sever the energetic ties that bond us.

We may choose this if we find ourselves obsessively thinking about an ex-partner, feeling remnants of pain due to old memories, feeling resentment or bitterness due to past grievances, feeling tied in or drawn toward someone as though they have a hold over us, or simply if we find it difficult to move on and we want to start over.

If we do not sever the ties, we may keep getting triggered by our open emotional wounds and remain caught up in the same patterns, which can cause us to stay in, or keep getting involved with low frequency relationship. This is usually why we attract similar types of people (or the same kinds of relationships) over again, as energy cords are keeping us connected to the past.

Sometimes energetic cords are mutual and have valves going each way so that energy is relayed and received. Other times, they have a one-way valve that give out energy but there is no return flow. If we are in a relationship and we are sending out waves of energy but not receiving any emotions in return, it is likely we are involved with someone who is emotionally unavailable, and if we continue to do this without regularly recharging our energy, we will quickly become drained.

This cord cutting ritual can be used in current relationships that have painful history, especially if there are triggers causing arguments over the same thing continuously. We may want to cut a cord from someone so that we can detangle ourselves from negative interactions and emotions, but we do not want this person to physically leave our lives. If this is the case, we can make the decision to remove the particular low frequency cords, while still remaining closely connected to that person.

We just need to set the intention to locate the cords that influence our emotions and cause us to instinctively react, while leaving any positive cords intact. Our relationship will not suffer when we cut these cords, as only the negative aspects of the relationship will be eliminated. This will result in the dynamics changing so that less negative interactions occur, and the positive aspects of the relationship will remain the same or be enhanced.

Before cutting cords, it is essential that our mind is rational, calm, and clear, to prevent negatively influencing the process and also so we can radiate loving, compassionate, and healing vibrations.

Meditating beforehand will ensure our mind is balanced and we are also grounded during the process. It is also beneficial to consciously set the intention to forgive ourselves and the other person so we do not leave remnants of resentment, retaliation, anger, or bitterness behind which may allow space for new detrimental cords to attach.

If an energetic cord has developed for purposes other than a genuine heart or soul connection, the cords could be anywhere in the body, so it is advisable to scan from top to toe. There may be numerous cords, and they may be in various shapes, strengths and sizes.

To locate the cords we want to sever we can use the following technique, along with our intuitive senses to guide us, as the majority of suppressed emotions connected to the cord are deep within our unconscious mind.

Cord cutting is done using visualisation by focusing the mind on one cord at a time. When we are lying still, with our eyes closed, fully relaxed, and inhaling and exhaling deeply, we can scan our entire body and focus on the sensations we are feeling. We may begin to notice a dense, heavy feeling in certain areas that we are drawn toward and that will likely be the cord that is the most significant and powerful one.

When we have located the cord we want to cut, we then keep our attention gently focused on the cord so that we can gain insight into why it is there, and what emotion or belief of ours allowed it to form.

When we attune to the vibration of the cords and pay attention to the sensations within our physical body and energetic field, we will easily recognise the difference between healthy and unhealthy connections.

Healthy, high vibrational cords are connected to our energy field and are found radiating from our aura. They do not pull in energy, instead, they radiate extremely powerful energy that generates unconditional love, humility, care, kindness, compassion, and spiritual growth. Healthy cords have a light, pure, and clear vibration, and they are also known as “spiritual ties.”

Unhealthy, low, and dense vibrational cords are based on dysfunction and are created due to things such as desire, control, fear, anger, abandonment, frustration, rejection, resentment, insecurity, and material or financial benefits. These cords seem thick and heavy and their vibration is dense. They will likely feel tender, and the area around them may ache. If there has been trauma or heartbreak associated with the cord, the pain will keep repeating until we are ready to release it and let go of the memories.

If someone has connected a cord to us, they may be depleting us without us realising it, and the cord may not be at the heart or anywhere obvious, so we may have to scan the body to find the location of the attachment cord—we also need to scan to see how many cords they have connected. If we have poured a lot of emotion, time, and energy into a relationship—or if the other person has invested a lot—the bond could be particularly strong, therefore the cord will also have resilience and strength.

Once we have located the cord we want to sever we can set the intention to cut the cord and visualise severing it with scissors or any sharp instrument. You can also visualize the cord ends burning all the way down to the root and cauterizing it, rendering it unable to grow back.

When the cord has been cut, we can pour healing, love, and light energy to the area where the cord was rooted. If we leave a wound open, it is likely a new cord will quickly attach, as we will be leaking energy and be susceptible to anyone who detects this and wants to drain our energy.

After cutting cords we may feel a little unsettled, anxious, and overly emotional. However, once we meditate and ground ourselves, these feelings should dissipate, and we will feel lighter, freer, calmer, and more balanced. If we feel the same way as we did before the process, we have not severed the cord properly and removed it from its root, so we can return and repeat the process.

When we have cut a cord, the other person may notice it energetically, so they may be drawn to contact us to see if they can put new ones in place, as they are no longer receiving an energetic feed from us.

When the cords have been successfully severed, the illusions within that relationship will fall away, rendering us free to finally see the dynamic in a clear light, without emotions infiltrating and causing an energetic painful disturbance.

Hello there Kindred Spirits and
Stacy Lynn Tuning-In with , which we will be revisiting for the next couple months. 🙏💜

These pregnancy hormones have had me all over the place as of recent. Definitely been riding the way of emotions. Feeling happy and excited One moment to plummet all the way down to the bottom and then feel depressed or guilty. So, I decided to do what I have been taught to do, which is find the bright side. Which is usually easier said than done so I figured I would dig into my toolbox and utilize some of my readings and teachings that I have found along the way...

The only way to do this, is to start right where I am in this moment, which gave me an easy idea 💡

I pulled out my book "Start Where You Are," by Pema Chodron along with her, Compassion cards..

Some of y'all may remember these cards since I had attempted to utilize these last summer, BUT, the universe had a different plan, AND, decided NOW IS THE TIME.

SO, here is a brief introduction to the cards and how to use them. I am first practicing card number one, the first of the lojang teachings because this provides support for all that follows.

(You can find these cards on Amazon, or through Pema Chodron's website, I stumbled upon them at the Horizon book store in Traverse City last summer.)

Using These Cards

The method I suggest is one that was recommended to me by my teacher Chögyam Trungpa.

1. Each morning, pick a card at random from the stack.

2. Read a commentary on that slogan. I've offered comments on the reverse side of each card. I also provide additional commentary in the book Start Where You Are-and several other useful commentaries on the lojong teachings are available, including Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving-Kindness by Chögyam Trungpa and The Great Path of Awakening by Jamgön Kongtrül (translated by Ken McLeod).

3. Try to live by the meaning of that slogan through-out your day. You might find it helpful to display the day's slogan in your home or workplace using the enclosed card stand.

"Sometimes I forget the slogan I've selected for the day, only to be reminded of its message when I come home at night. Usually, however, if something challenging arises, the slogan of the day, or perhaps a different one altogether, will come to mind and provide me with valuable on-the-spot instruction. The slogans always introduce me to a bigger perspective, and I begin to gain confidence that I can use them to become less reactive and see things more clearly throughout my life. Even the most difficult of situations have become more and more workable."

"I hope that slogan practice will help you, as it has helped me, to transform all circumstances into the path of enlightenment."

"These teachings are designed to help ordinary people like ourselves to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves. And they invite us to let go of our sense of separation from others and connect with the openness and softness of our hearts."

For additional practice, you can also go to www.shambhala.com/openingtheheart to download a guided audio meditation on the related practice of tonglen, a traditional Buddhist meditation to awaken compassion for oneself and others.

Today's focus is:

First, train in the preliminaries.

The preliminaries are also known as the four reminders. In your daily life, try to:

1. Maintain an awareness of the preciousness of human life.

2. Be aware of the reality that life ends; death comes for everyone.

3. Recall that whatever you do, whether virtuous or not, has a result; what goes around comes around.

4. Contemplate that as long as you are too focused on self-importance and too caught up in thinking about how you are good or bad, you will suffer. Obsessing about getting what you want and avoiding what you don't want does not result in happiness.

Keeping the Chakras balanced and clear allows the currents of the Divine to flow with ease through our bodies. Healthy Chakras = Healthy mind, body, and spiritual connection. Make sure you have a daily maintenance practice.

Even 3 minutes per Chakra per day can make a huge difference! 🙂

Namaste 🙏🏾✨
