Let your light shine

This is the time of year when many people feel more stressed and less relaxed. We tend to pressure ourselves with all the preparations that we aim to make so we and all our family and friends will have a supportive and fun Holiday. But if you do not add to the mix time out for you to relax and get rejuvenated, you will be compromising your health and overall well-being.

In order for our internal light to shine brightly during the Holidays, we all need to allow our mind as well as our hearts to receive the perfect antidote to stress, which I might add, will also help in keeping you healthy throughout the year. The answer is: setting some time for relaxation daily! 

Make time in your life for relaxation even if it is only for a half hour every evening. When we relax, our body and mind has the opportunity to slow down, unwind and feel the peace within. Our muscles and joints become less tense and our energy field takes a breather as our blood pressure calms down, our heart rate slows down and tension is released.

I have found that when I make time for me at the end of a long day, I give my body a chance to feel less anxious and less tense. My nerve endings relax and I am better able to have a more peaceful sleep as, I might add, I also give my immune system a change to catch up and replenish.

Our light cannot shine brightly when we are stressed or vibrating in a negative mode, that is, when we tend to feel overly pressured and consequently less effective.

The art of relaxation is like the art of self-realization where you can develop your conscious mind to focus and enrich your body so that you have time to breathe and commune with your inner voice, your soul.

Here are some ways that might help you get started on a journey towards inner healing:
  • Snuggle up on the couch in the evening and simply be still as you enjoy a quiet moment.
  • Cook yourself a healthy meal at home and listen to soft music.
  • Listen to your body and its messages. You will definitely avoid unwanted disease.
  • Get a massage - it definitely releases toxins from the body and makes you feel relaxed too.
  • Smile and laugh with your children, partner or pet-you will reap the benefits
  • Take a Yoga class - it is definitely calming
  • Meditation - We have a FREE Sunlight meditation on our website in the READ LISTEN & LEARN section. Download this 9-minute MP3 and experience a wonderful healing meditation.


I encourage you to add relaxation to your daily routine. Research has shown the benefits of relaxation on a daily basis. It can and will contribute to a healthier and happy lifestyle.
