Here’s today’s mental health May memo. Not only do I love Jeff’s voice, but this podcast episode is a great interview about how emotional regulation is another key to longevity. Overwhelm, chronic stress, anger, sadness, grief etc that aren’t processed reduces lifespan. This episode gives tangible advice and simple practices you can do to cultivate an ‘upward spiral’. Let’s do this!!!

Do you occasionally have premonitions or a deep inner knowing about something beyond your five senses? Are your dreams sometimes realistic or prophetic? Can you sense or feel the energy of other living and non-living things.... plants, animals, people, places, objects, etc?

These are examples of guidance that comes from your team of spirit guides, third eye energy and higher SELF. They are gifts accessible to EVERYONE! Like learning to read, riding a bike, or playing piano... you have to cultivate them and practice.

If you're interested in exploring several modalities in a sacred place to practice accessing and listening to your guides, the Higher States of Consciousness Retreat is a great place to be! July 30 - Aug 2 in Winter Park, CO!

This has been my toolkit for almost 50 years. Each modality has served me well in connecting to my highest SELF and living a life of purpose.

To get to this point of true harmony, I need A LOT of scaffolding. I have ADHD. I have been a victim. I have flowed with anxiety and depression. I have had two bouts of serious depression and one attempted su***de in my teens. What you see today is the result of working with and understanding my true nature. Giving myself grace and permission to explore my emotions, lessons and experiences. I need support, community and tools to make meaning of the various circumstances, beliefs, programs and relationships I’ve encountered.

I found purpose, love, joy and authenticity greeting me with open arms when I gained agency and released patterns, trauma and emotions that held me hostage. This month I encourage you to practice and work with a ton of modalities to see what works for you!! Explore bravely!

It’s Mental Health May. In my workshops and retreats we use a very similar process to evaluate recurring thoughts, patterns and behaviors. Is it always true? Whatever the negative emotions or limiting beliefs are that hold you back from BEING the very best version of yourself … is it always true?

It’s time to change the narrative and question where these programs came from. Don’t judge. Just reflect and become aware. Why did you agree to carry it and does it bring you comfort, joy, peace, delight, love, hope, etc? Or is it keeping you trapped in a low frequency where your light is struggling to shine?
