We are all different. Our learning on this planet is different from everyone else's. Our challenges are different. What works as help and support for one person may not necessarily work for another. Thankfully, these days, there are so many healing modalities and supports that each one of us will be able to find something that works for us to help us get through challenging times, to help us learn and grow. 

We are all responsible for our well-being; we are the only authority in our life. We can do a lot to help ourselves, to heal our selves.

Personally, I am strongly inclined to heal myself, no matter what the issue. If you have the understanding that healing can be instant, that the Universe wants only good for you, where willingness to heal is key -- you can heal. If you are willing to change, grow in consciousness. If you understand that all healing is a shift in consciousness.

Even most healers do not understand this and it's the reason I do couple of things. First, I am always ready to change. When I run into any difficulties, I know I need to learn something. I need to change. I need to grow in consciousness. I stay alert to all discomfort and do something about it as soon as I am aware of it. Sometimes I can change right away. At other times, the issue is more complex and can take me a while.

When I, for whatever reason, was unaware, was unconscious about some situation, and the result of that is a big challenge, once again, I look for solutions.

If I can't figure it out on my own, I talk to my therapist. There are some issues that are difficult to resolve on one's own. There are blind spots.

Mainly, my focus is to stay healthy, on all levels, to begin with.

The way I stay healthy, as I said, is to stay on top of what's bugging me and resolve it as soon and as fast as I can. I do this mostly by using my guided meditations.

When I started giving psychic readings and saw psychically how energy operated in the aura. I also saw solutions to clients' problems. The guided meditations came as solutions, a way to make the necessary change in the aura as a way to change physical reality.

I've created all kinds of guided meditations to address all kinds of needs. And I use all of them.

The guided meditations help me gain awareness about what is troubling me. I gain deeper understanding of the situation, a larger truth that can often immediately release the problem.

Also, while listening to a guided meditation, our higher self always comes in to help and I receive insights, solutions and illuminations and that solves the issue.

The main thing is not to let any problem linger, but to address it right away. Lingering problems create more problems. I found this out the minute I started giving psychic readings.

I remember a session with a woman whose life's MO was to sweep everything under the rug. She was around fifty years old. Oh, the structure of her aura . . . it was a complex mess of unresolved issues that just got more and more complex as more issues were piled on top of the old issues.

It is difficult and takes a long time to unravel something that extensive and complicated. It can be done, but it takes a while and the person has to stay committed to the lengthy process.

So, resolving things, as soon as possible is critical. Unresolved issues, eventually can turn into physical issues.

I uses my guided meditations (they're under the Shop tab), and also Sanaya Roman's (downloads to her free guided meditations are available under the Help section of the website), excellent guided meditations to stay on top of anything that's niggling me.

I also make effort to eat healthfully. For me, the main thing about eating in a healthy way is not to eat processed foods.

We're all different and I think everyone needs to figure out what works best for them and his/her body when it comes to food and eating.

I also exercise and do a good amount of stretching. Again, everyone needs to figure out what works best for them. Not all exercise programs work for everyone. Our bodies are different and need different exercises to function optimally.

When I was in my 20s and 30s I loved going to the gym to work out, as I think most people that age do. Now I like working out at home. I have a stationary bike and I have dumbbells and a barbell. For an easy workout I ride the stationary bike and, at the same time, use dumbbells.

What I also absolutely love to do is use workout DVDs. There are lots and lots of all kinds of different workout DVDs, including yoga, meditation and stretching on Total Fitness DVDs and Collage Video. It's a really easy way to get a variety of workouts at home. I love it!

One of my favorite deep stretch DVDs is Mimi Solaire's Deep Stretch Yin Yoga. Really excellent for deep relaxation and stretching.

If I run into physical difficulties, if I can't figure it out on my own, I see an herbalist.

Since I am inclined to figure out solutions to challenges I encounter on my own, before going and getting help from the outside, I am inclined to encourage everyone else to do the same.

No one knows you as well as you do. No one cares about you as much as you do. Retaining your authority over your own being is what is most important to staying healthy on all levels of reality.

I have a short list of healers I like in the Help section.

So, that's the way I stay healthy and resolve challenges. I encourage you to stay on top of any difficulties and challenges you face and see about resolving them as fast as possible. That is the easiest and best way to stay healthy and not encounter big issues down the line.

Spiritual Growth: Being Your Higher Self, by Sanaya Roman, is quite an old book by now, written in 1989, yet it's unique and I don't know of anything like it out there these days. In fact, I'm not even sure a publisher would accept it today since it does not meet standard publisher book requirements, as I understand them.

However, around that year, 1989, an amazing publisher existed in Tiburon, CA, HJ Kramer, and they published the most unique and amazing spiritual books, including Dan Millman's Way of the Peaceful Warrior: The Book That Changes Lives. An unusual book with supernatural experiences with an Indian shaman.

Around that time Carlos Castaneda, who is named as the man who started the New Age movement, put out the most fascinating books about his shaman training with Don Juan, the first being The Teachings of Don Juan: The Yaqui Way of Knowledge.  Not published by Kramer.

Those were exciting times. Spiritual teachers were emerging everywhere with new information about the nature of reality, new healing modalities. Exploration of consciousness was it. Lots and lots of fantastic books came out at that time.

I so loved that time and miss it very much. I don't feel that anything of the kind is going on right now, the extraordinary spiritual revelations and innovations, at least nothing I am aware of. It seems to me we've become money/goals/achievements, externally focused. But, no doubt, at some point that will pass and there will be another wave of spiritual illuminations.

Back to Sanaya's book. I highly recommend it. It explains deep spiritual processes and realizations that are almost impossible to put into words. They will help you tremendously on your spiritual journey.

Here are some chapters:
1. Being Your Higher Self
2. Creating with Light
3. Connecting with the Universal Mind
4. Linking with the Higher Will
5. Seeing the Bigger Picture: Receiving Revelations
6. Opening Awareness of the Inner Planes
7. Moving Into Higher Consciousness

There is more, but this gives you an example of the kinds of things Sanaya was able to write about channeling her guide, Orin.

A wonderful book that shifts consciousness immediately.

Here is Sanaya's website: https://www.orindaben.com/

They have fantastic guided meditations, an awesome newsletter and they continue to offer light body workshops.

I just loved this skit.

The agreement between the couple is that they both can't fall apart at the same time. So, one of them holds the fort while the other recovers.  Beautiful.

Long time ago, I read the book, The Bridge Across Forever, by Richard Bach.  Richard and Leslie, his wife, have this same agreement.

I think this is fantastic to be able to do in relationship. Lots of things happen in life and to have confidence that the relationship is safe and there will be support of this kind offers great comfort.
