Keeping Your Head Above Water & Shedding Weight with Chakra Healing

Keeping Your Head Above Water & Shedding Weight with Chakra Healing

There certainly is a body/mind connection with the many traumas we endure in life.  I have heard it said that after a trauma the body will become ill within 90 days.  It might be rather severe and can even be an accident.  If a wife looses a husband and she begins to grieve a great deal she might be involved in a horrible car accident.  This is because she is not as alert.  Being happy and at the top of your game is the best way to avoid illness and accidents.  Can we always be there?  Life throws us curve balls at times.

I was discussing my weight problem with my psychic friend and she suggested several helpful things for me to try.  

The Time Line of Me Gaining Weight 

She asked when I began to gain weight.   There were several noticeable times when large amounts of weight were accumulated on my body.  The first noticeable gain of 20 pounds was age 13.  I went through menarche.  That is the beginning of menstruation and my hormones were going awry. I was uncomfortable in my body and it seemed the boys in my class were taunting me and slinging arrows.  I know now that sometimes boys do this when they like a girl, but I was not hearing it that way.  I lost weight over the next year and started to look and feel much better. 

The next weight gaining event was during my first and second pregnancies.  I was able to lose weight after my first child but not the second one.  I had gained 40 pounds and it remained there for two more years.  In fact I don’t remember losing all of it just some. My friend asked me if there was something different about the second pregnancy.  My marriage was not going well and my mother seemed to be unhappy that there was only 9 months from the first pregnancy.  My boys were 18 months apart and the second one was not as welcome by family.  I developed gestational diabetes during the pregnancy and craved ice cream.  

The next event was about a year after my divorce.  I began dating a very nice man and fell deeply in love but that relationship did not last.  He told me that he was engaged and about the same time my ex husband became engaged and all of a sudden single life was dreadful for me.  I felt the responsibility of single parenthood and the reality that good choices in men are few, or so I believed, when you have two little children.  That belief is not exactly correct.  I have seen women beat those odds all the time. 

I think the last time was when I became ill with an auto immune disease.  I was having trouble with Jason who was 19 and drinking and using drugs.  I felt I had no control over his decisions and he became rather abusive with me and his younger brother.  My heart was broken and I questioned my parenting and my decisions.  I got upset daily and my body seemed to be reacting as well.

At each of these times, I felt negative self judgment and an inability to control the circumstances in my life.  My plans were falling apart and I was crying in a sea of broken dreams.  My childhood had not given me the resiliency I needed to face failures and get back up.  

Fortunately I have a better grasp now of who I am and the skills to overcome some trying circumstances. but I still can't shed my poundage.

My friend suggested I go through each chakra with the affirmation of I am perfect the way I am.   I can let go of those feelings of inadequacy and disappointment.  I accept that I went through those experiences and those feelings but now it is a brand new page and brand new day.  Self acceptance and forgiveness seemed to be at the bottom of the big bottom I have. 

Our bodies are chemical laboratories and metabolism shifts and goes up and down.  I don’t think it matters what you eat but how your body uses it and digests it.  

Each chakra has some health issues attached to it if there is an imbalance.  My sacral and solar plexus were either closed or not working well.  After going through each chakra I felt that the bottom 4 were involved in hanging on to past energies.  The red root chakra deals with basic survival issues and sex. The orange sacral chakra has more to do with balance and receiving and letting go.  It is a creative chakra and my friend suggested doing art or something that would open the flow of creativity. If that is a problem then I can just imagine being creative.  My guidance took me to a lagoon with dolphins and we swim and play there for a while.  I feel less tension after I am playful.  The next chakra is the yellow solar plexus area in the stomach.  That is the area of self nourishment.  Food is a symbol of survival and of love and belonging.  Being able to take in love and then release it or give it back is the ebb and flow that this chakra should feel.  This chakra needed me to say “ I am enough” and I appreciate myself.  The next chakra is green and considered the heart chakra.  I felt open here but I needed that emerald spinning wheel to help open the bottom four.  I feel such spiritual love and realize a relationship with God that usually this wheel is quite open and bright.  My blue throat chakra is open and I am a writer and express my thoughts.  Most open is usually the third eye and my clairvoyance is nice and purple.  Some people say indigo. I seem to have a deep purple and the indigo seems to be more toward the pineal with some pink and white light at the top chakra.  When I write I see some lemon yellow hues in the “lotus” chakra. There are issues with money and food and I am to be more in the flow with those two survival items. 

I did this and felt much better then there was a physical reaction for me.  The next day I was in the bathroom literally getting rid of water and waste.  I did not travel far from a bathroom.  I see this letting go of the garbage I don’t need as directly related to the meditations I am doing.  

It will probably be good to update in a few months with more on this process.  

Friday 4/13

I am feeling much better this AM.  I have the desire to take a walk and do yoga.  It is such a blessing when you body guides you and there is no resistance.  I am remaining in a calm state more often. Calmness seems to be something missing in my world.  I am trusting this process.  

Shy Away From TV News

Shy away from the TV News

I would like to say just stop watching it.  However, I realize so many people have their favorite shows and some of them are OK and then there is the news.  I have been discovering that the TV has signals that help watchers enter a relaxed hypnotic state and they are far more vulnerable to suggestion in that state of mind. I found myself going to a sports bar to watch the Super Bowl and the Democratic Convention.  I went to a meet up about the Democratic Platform and I think that did not trance me out.

Meetup.com is a great service.  People actually talk to one and other there. I think any form of communication is preferable.  TV is one way communication and you are invited to agree.  I was listening to You Tube coverage of an Oregon UFO sighting seen by many people.  The news reporter was joking and ridiculing this incident.  Her co anchor said he believed and supported the Oregonians and she was also making fun of this comment.  This is not unbiased reporting.  Another thing is the news seems to attack certain points of view and individuals.   Our media is owned by the Rothschild group.

They are known to support the New World Order.  Order is a kind world for control and domination.

On Face Book we have had discussion about thinking for yourself.  That is the preferred way to be.  I feel the need to outline what to look for in the New World Order agenda.   If people know ahead of the game how to spot these ideals and agenda’s they will be more awakened and forearmed.  I am developing a list and even with the best list there will be some omissions and gray areas.

1.           Does this erode family cohesion and family values?  If yes, that is NWO.  They want us behaving like orphans.  Families keep the stress level down and help each other.

2.           Does it make it hard for people to network and share opinions?  Also NWO.

3.           Does it support GMO food tyrants?  Oil consumption and more dependency on pill popping?

4.           Does it prohibit banking and getting loans?  Anything to do with large banks and their plans is usually NWO.

5.           Are your insights subject to jokes and ridicule?  Your insights are as valuable as anyone else’s.

6.           Are there city or state rules and laws preventing you from gardening?  Usually not in the back yard, but what about the front and community housing areas should be able to support produce?  This is by design making you more dependent on grocers. 

7.           Is it hard to impossible to break a lease for good reason?  Landlords have unfair privilege and laws are spawned in their favor?  Weakening the rights of the middle class is a big NWO agenda.

8.           Voting rights?  Is it harder to vote and did you receive a provisional ballot?  Most provisional ballots are tossed out.  You lost your voice.  Anything that prohibits fare voting and transparent elections is NWO

9.           Do you notice chemical haze and X’s in the sky.  This is black ops weather and population control.

10.                Are you accepting being treated badly at airports?  Most people do not enjoy traveling anymore. There is a tendency to treat people like possible terrorists and also de-humanize them. The more you are allowing bad treatment and herding…the more they win.  Perhaps some scrutiny is advised but they should be “nice” at least.

11.        The legal system is very bad and does not work well.  It is more like a big club and the rights of the individual clearly do not matter.  Our prison and justice system is big business. 

12.        Education is big business.  Teachers cannot do exactly what they feel their students need. They are more ordered towards certain curriculum s.  When knowledge is forced and children cannot follow their natural curiosity and explore, they are being programmed and trained away from thinking for themselves.  Definitely NOW

13.        Our water is being tampered with.  Basic human health requires clean air, clean water, and pesticide free food.  All three are being poisoned systematically.  Then you can spend your life savings on chemo therapy that does not work well.  Mammograms actually increase breast cancer risks.  

14.        Ordering children and adults to have flu shots is not free will.  Some of those vaccines are highly suspect and may cause health issues down the road. 

15.        General contempt for USA middle class is very key in the NWO agenda. You are much more of a threat to them than you can ever imagine.  The moment you wake up and smell the NWO coffee, they will run for the hills, back paddling all the way. Assert your human rights, but, without violence. Do it Gandhi style. Passive resistance.  I envisioned swooping in by parachute and rescuing that woman that is supposed to be flogged publically.  She is a 15 year old who was repeatedly raped by her guardian.  I think it is Maldives, off the coast of India. The women are always considered the gate keepers and if men rape them it is because they somehow allowed it.  We all know that only pedophiles believe that hogwash, and perhaps (some) men in Iran. I can see myself leaping to her rescue like Wonder Woman, only I must not harm another in doing so.  When it comes to kids and animals we must at least attempt to help. 

16.        Being exposed to more violence and disgusting horrible events is not healthy. Does the news rely on gruesome events to carry the day?  I react to seeing animals and children treated badly.  This increases our sense of not being in control and buying into fear and anxiety.  Why?  People in fear are not creative and progressive.  They huddle down to a minimal existence and start to see themselves more as victims with no real options. You become more controllable. You think that could be me next or my family.  This is a horrible fearful way to live.  Even if it is risky be assertive and stand up to this type of programming.  There are far more positive stories to look at.

17.        Do you feel that you are being persuaded to hate a group or particular person?  After 9/11 some innocent turban wearing Americans were killed.  Most people were blaming Iraq for the bombing.  They didn’t do it but why did the media jump on that band wagon?  Guess who was behind all that?  Sure NWO

  

Please remember to question and research things presented on the news. Hold on to creativity and a humanistic vision and keep talking to each other.  Go for a walk, read books, plan outings instead of watching TV.  My neighbors little boy is in front of the TV all day long. The walls are thin and I know by the constant drone of the shows they watch.  Kids have less of a filter than adults. De-program and reach for higher thoughts.  It just makes good sense.

Gatherin Flowers for James Van Praagh

Flowers after a Funeral  

 

I had some tears today.  I am six years the veteran of losing a son.  I use the word veteran but I think I have been waging a war I can never win.  Nothing can undo grief or plug the gapping whole it leaves in your life.

But I am a medium.  Like other more famous mediums; James Van Praagh, and Patricia Arquette (smiling) who played Allison Dubois on Medium, I do the same thing, only quietly:  Quietly because of myself doubt.  People confirm my information all the time and still there is that inner critic inside.  My inner critic should pack her bags and get a new life.  I am quiet because of my Grandmother’s voice, the one inside my head that repeats. That voice says what I do goes against Christian doctrine.  I think Jesus spoke to the dead.  I remember him going up a mountain and speaking with Moses and Elijah and they seemed to have a heart to heart in the mist.  I remember Jesus speaking of our human potential, and that the many things he did we would be able to do also, and even better things.  Alas there was never a good enough argument to convince my Grandmother, Lina, that what I saw and heard was not “wrong”.  I have been quiet because the profession of social work would not understand “Mediumship” and in fact they told me to keep a lid on it.  Although I had plenty of hunches that helped my clients mend their lives,  it was never called “Mediumship”.

I am loud about grief and soft on the speaking to the departed.  That seems to be a real paradox.  James Van Praagh told us that when his mother passed over, or transitioned to non physical, he could not speak to her.  He had to seek information from another medium.  Doctors do no perform surgery on their children for the same reason.  Our grief and emotional ties make us less objective and less able to be accurate.  Also James explained that the intensity of our grief keeps loved ones from drawing too near.  After we adjust and heal emotionally they will touch in and check in.  They need not be chained to us or on constant assignment but they do see us.

James Van Praagh gave me the best gift anyone ever could. At a workshop I was one of a handful of people who received a free reading or “demonstration” as James calls it.  The details are in my book, “Sunflowers for Jason”.  I gave away my last copy but I think I can remember most of what he said.  Jason mentioned having a bone disease as a child.  No one knew that but James Van Praagh did.  He had Osgood- Schlatter’s disease in his knees.  He had such growth spurts and pain with all that.  James told us many things about Jason and it was just incredible.  The last month of his life I had sent a check to help with part of the rent. James mentioned that and that the memorial service had taken place in two different states.  That was true.  We had a service in San Diego and in Phoenix.  James mentioned about 10 little known details like the ones above in rapid fire.  The one I remember the most was that Jason said I was a good mother and to stop with all the guilt.  That one I needed to hear the most.  I revisit my role as a mother with the critical eye of hindsight.  I wish I had just hugged him and appreciated him about three times as much as I did.  I saw where I had made some choices that made life more difficult for us financially.  Jason repeated himself via James “you were the very best mother he could have had”.   My friend Edna said those very same words to me the other day.  Sometimes I am not sure about that but I am trying to be kinder with me and overcome the blues that come with missing him so much.

I knew I had a gift of Mediumship and that I had seen departed loved ones but I had never considered being open about it.  After my free session with James, I made the choice to open up for the second time in my life, and serve people the way that James did.  When you can demonstrate that life continues and that you yourself have immortality and can once again be re-united one day with all those family members you miss, it really kicks grief in the butt.  It is the best weapon for surviving the depression of losing a loved one. May I add, you will still miss them being in the flesh and up close at times.  That is quite human and I am experiencing that today.

If past American Presidents have invited Mediums to the white house perhaps we should give that subject some acknowledgement.  Mediums were helpful in shaping American History.  I already wrote or blogged about that in an early post: Why Do People Get Tarot Card Readings?.  There are days when I mope and morn and it feels heavy for me.  What would I tell others if I am trying to help them?  Grief is a process and there is tremendous growth from facing loss and realizing the good parts and the treasured memories that we reaped.  Those memories are exactly why we bring flowers to a funeral.  We have gathered all those flowers together to immortalize the wonderful memories and cherished moments we were gifted by knowing the loved one.  When we scan the past it is a good idea to leave the weeds behind and just pick up those flowers and hold them close.  It helps to create a scrap book with all the good memories huddled together.  If that person were not such a huge part of your life you would not know that pain or joy.  I wrote Sunflowers for Jason to illustrate that each Sunflower was a golden memory.  I guess I can cast the weeds in the furnace now.  I will save only the grist.

Making a Comfy Emotional Bed for Peace to Lie IN

Or Recipe for Peace

 

Have you wondered why we all wish for world peace and yet we have not manifested it yet?  I think the concept of peace is so very foreign to most people.  Imagine all the things that upset you?  Keep careful observation on all the things that rattle your cage.  Maybe you can identify the top offending five of them: People who cut you off in traffic, the neighbors dog who tears up your garden, scam artists that have borrowed money and then did not repay it, telemarketers who call during dinner,  and for me, people that constantly advise me on how to lose weight.  Those are more minor irritations.  Imagine a bomb going off.  Imagine a stray NATO bomb that hit a children’s play ground and killed your 5 year old daughter. That really happened in Serbia 1991.  All your thoughts of peace are now disbanned.   I am a parent who lost a child. Jason was 27 years old.  I wrote a book called “Sunflowers for Jason” about his life and overcoming grief. It is available on Amazon. There is no amount of money or consequence to another that would ever make up for the pain and loss a parent feels.  In the wake of the Sandy Hook murders, I think most people are sensitive to the price those families are paying, especially during the Holidays. Most sudden murder and the witnessing of the innocent blood of children is followed by shock more than anger.  In time loved ones will experience anger and very intensely so.  I was angry at everyone and God.  I was so short tempered that I was let go of my job.  That was the first time in my life that I was fired too.  I was a complete mess.  As much as I say I want world peace, I could have pushed that red button on some of those emotional days.  That is a scary thought.  Most of my friends and family did not understand why I was a mess a year later.  They did the right obligatory things such as bring flowers and food the week of the funeral, so what is left to do?  Most people will experience the most intense grief about 6 months to a year after the death.  The first six months are full of shock and denial.   This varies with each individual and grief is very individual.   I could talk at length about the stages of grief and then how that vector turns into a noodle of ups and downs and crisscrosses its path like a snake on speed.  I am a veteran at six years of grief over Jason, but, I am not out of the woods.  When his birthday or “angelversary” comes up,  it feels like I am standing by his coffin and looking down at his gorgeous face as though it was yesterday.  He was and is beautiful and he will remain so in my mind.  I could spend a day reflecting on the times I wanted to just join him on the other side.  God saved me and spared me that fate.  Now I try and work at healing others and creating peace.  I started to talk about peace and I will continue to look at why that is so not happening in our world. 

My ex husband just sent me the rent money.  I will pay him back in a few weeks.  I think that is the best example of peace I can think of.  We were at odds for many years.  I might have even wished that he catch a horrible disease on his honeymoon with his second marriage.   I shudder to think.  We have matured and progressed over the years.  I can see my errors in thinking and I do believe he realizes some of his mistakes as well.   We can communicate in a friendly and honest way.  If Jason had lived to see this I know he would like it.  In fact, he is here with me and he does like it.  (I am a medium) The more we can forgive ourselves and others the more possible peace becomes.  I really don’t think that war and economic sanctions ever create lasting peace.  In fact I will venture to say that poverty creates war more than any other device.  If we want world peace as we often say we do, make sure the other people in your life are doing OK financially.  Then take that wish and radiate it into your community and be sure that the community at large is sustaining itself in a healthy way.  After that we look at our neighbors abroad.  I think President Kennedy did that best thing ever with creating the Peace Corps.  How brilliant.  Now Kennedy also averted a war with Russia in the Bay of Pigs incident.  Each side of that skirmish left the table with their dignity intact.  Respecting another person culture and understanding their needs are imperative to peace.  Most people do not understand the perspective of others enough to truly negotiate peace. 

I think I will go back to the small pond I live in and hope that everyone I know and that I care about is doing well.  Next I want to create a ripple in my pond that moves gracefully accross the oceans and beyond.  Life will create some peace ripples and some disagreements.  My nuclear family is my son, Zac, and we have an understanding.  If I am upset then it is my responsibility to discover the root belief that is causing it.  People who have a hair trigger temper will have their work cut out for them.  Maybe an anger management class?  The first rule is; be able to state what is upsetting you and what you need.  State it quietly, honestly and respectfully.  If it is ignored then you move to stage two.  That is you sit down at the table with two cups of herbal tea and honey and wait for the other person to notice.  If they sit down also, then slowly bring up your need again and wait.  They will probably respond appropriately.  If they don’t then hopefully they offer a reason for not being able to help you and for not agreeing with your perspective.  There are further negotiations and the final one might be removing yourself from the situation for a while. 

Notice that none of these options suggest buying a machine gun?  They don’t even advocate yelling to get your point across or seeing a divorce lawyer, and they especially do not suggest throwing a dinner plate with food across the table at your husband.  My mother often did that during dinner and then none of us kids could eat.  I was a skinny kid who went to the hospital frequently, and still they did not get why that sort of behavior did not work well at creating a happy family life.   That happens in American families and with our foreign policies as well.  Dad died early and mom had horrible health issues later.  Putting those pieces together is important. The bomb you throw returns to poison your own world.  As Jesus said, if you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. 

The bed we need to feather is one of understanding. Understanding the needs of others and how to compromise and negotiate is key to peace.  That means visualizing a happy healthy world for others.  I am getting good at manifesting for other people.  I have become the reincarnated fairy God Mother to several people.  If they tell me what they are trying to accomplish and what they need to grow a business idea, Wham Bam Thank You Fairy God Mother…it is on their door step.  Giving to another and helping others with prosperity is easier to manifest than my own desires.  Why this is a rule is amazing.  I think the reason it works so well is this:  At some level all things are connected and one.  It is really the law of oneness that is believed and activated when you sincerely help another.  Along with this desire to help, I make it a secret.  Sometimes people ask openly for help and I am on it and acting on it right away.  There is no secret.  At other times, I am praying intently with love and tears, and the other one does exactly know, but it works just the same or maybe better.  This is love in action.  The action part of love is needed to create heaven on earth or peace.  This is really very simple and a nuts and bolts analysis of getting peace started for all of us. Some of you already know and you are ahead of me. Least any of us forget.  I speak to myself much more than any other on this subject.

The beliefs we hold close will create the comfy bed that peace will chose to lay in.

 

 

The Fun Way to Quit Smoking in Six Weeks

The Fun Way to Quit Smoking in 6 Weeks, by Nancy Lake

 

I finnally got so sick with bronchitis and then pnuemonia that I had to quit smoking. I used to ask my two boys to hide my cigarettes.  That did work until I got in such a fit that I would find them.  I am psychic.  I just would ask my guides where they were. It was like a game of hot and cold.  I would also see where they were.  It was good for psychic development but not for quitting a bad habbit.  

It has been 10 years.  I am still a non smoker.  There were some false quits too.  But that is how you learn to cope and make it all the way there.  

Back to how I quit smoking and made it fun.  Here is the breakdown and the break free of it all

One:  You should create a plan that works for you. Tailored just for you! I did this and you might have to experiment with your own tolerance level and symptom reducers.  If you have tried to quit cold turkey before, great:  Look at every time and ask this question:  What happened?  For me it was stress and a feeling of deprivation.  Beyond the usual stomach cramps, headaches and lousy flu like complaints I experienced some emotional land mines.  All the emotional highs seemed to need a cigarette to balance them out.  If I was very excited and happy, I needed a cigarette, if I was bored, I needed a cigarette, if I was angry and irritable, I needed a cigarette, but stress trumped all those emotional moments for me.  Nicotine mixes with brain chemistry and sets off a pleasure cascade of adrenaline and blood sugar and dopamine.  It creates an intense release that lasts for about 10 minutes and then starts to subside.  It takes you down. 

Two: Create a pre-Planned withdrawal day.  Pick a day or just a half day where you go without a cigarette.  I already know that I will become a bitch and people should not come anywhere near me.  That is a given.  I also already know that I will want to “snack”. Chocolate works pretty well for me. Salty foods seem to work too.  This is where you experiment.  Have a supportive friend buy you Nicotine patches and snacks at the store.  Then have them pick up a funny movie from a DVD rental place.  Tell them to not venture into the dragons lair.  They should simply leave all items on your door step and tip toe away.  They should not even stick their vulnerable head in the door and say good luck.  It is best to text message this if needed.  I would wear the patch for about 8 hours.  Then peel it off and have a pre planned cigarette.   That was the best cigarette ever and I would feel dizzy after smoking it.  Start picking more days like that.  Plan for a day of abstinence, and then reward it.  In psychology we call this creating self efficacy.  I knew that I could survive 8 hours without a cigarette.  I grew in confidence.

Three:  Around the second or third week of these planned periods of abstinence you will want to go a bit longer.  Perhaps a whole week end would be nice.  Some people venture into nature and hike and camp without a cigarette around for about two days.  Take patches and anything that might aid you in not losing your mind.  This week is a great time to start taking Guafenesin. You can buy it over the counter. It loosens the congestion in the lungs.  Your lungs will be working so hard to get rid of all that horrible flem and garbage.  Along with this help start taking vitamin C and B vitamin Complex. In fact find a really good complete vitamin like the ones they give you when you are pregnant.  Walk more and sleep more.  

Four:  During the smoking days start limiting your daily intake of cigarettes.  Wrap a piece of note paper around the box of cigarettes and the place a rubber band around this.  Tally the cigarettes by placing a mark on the paper each time you remove the rubber band.  It helps to explore what you’re feeling as well, so instead of a mark, you can write a one word description, like “upset”, anxious, “on the phone” or whatever will help explain the need for that cigarette.  On the phone was a big one for me.  I wanted to light up when I talked to certain friends.  I started eating sun flower seeds instead.  Drop you cigarettes by two a day each week.  By week five I was using patches most of the day but smoking two in the morning and two at night.  This is when the health crisis starts.

Five:  Up to now, I am working with being gradual but now my lungs are starting to wake up and they wish to clean up.  I start having a productive cough.  Drink plenty of water.  Start treating yourself for the lung cleansing crisis that is sure to happen.  You are doing a great thing for your lungs, heart, cardiovascular system, liver and even bladder.  There is an odd connection between the bladder and cigarettes.  I would experience a weak bladder and some accidents too.  Be prepared for that as well.  It seems unfitting that nature would reward the withdrawal away from nicotine with that cold/flu sickness.  That is very common and it is the not a fun part of quitting.  It is a bridge to the other side.  Imagine having nice pink lungs.  I say wear pink all day every day and sing along with Cyndi Lauper, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and they wanna have pink rosy lungs too.  And if you are a guy who is quitting…hey you can wear pink too.  It is your secret. 

Six:  Start replacing the cigarette with fun things that you can enjoy. This is an interesting task.  I often heard myself say, “This is my 5 minute vacation”.  This is my only vice and I would defend this terrible habit of mine.  It is necessary to do something else.  Go to You Tube and use the search bar to find and watch and ASMR videos.  I especially like Gentle Whispers and the Water Whispers.

Take up dancing or new hobbies and figure out some short activities that will replace a dependency that once gave you pleasure.  This part six still goes on for me.  I will probably be seeking short little vacation moments in my day for the next ten years.  I like blogging, bubble baths, talking to friends, taking walks and reading.  I got through the sixth and seventh week smoking one cigarette a day and finding some new pleasures.  Eventually, I was not buying cigarettes or patches.  One day in July, it hit me, I am free of this.  Praise God and Hallelujah!  I did not suffer with this all that much.  I found it to be an experiment and a slow transition.  If I did badly on one day, I would just get back on track the next day.  It actually was a fun and uplifting time for me. 

I love this sound:  Try this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjwB1sSxREY
