A SPECIAL GOODNIGHT
At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: Behind us lies the previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to be. While many of us have morning rituals that connect us with our center and help us to set intentions, we may want to explore the magic and power of nighttime ritual as well. It holds for us a beautiful chance for self-appreciation and blessing. Before you go to bed each night, you can send gratitude, compassion, and healing to the being you have been up until this moment. And you can send lightness and love into the future for the one you are in the process of becoming.
Though simple, this action honors the journey you have taken thus far, while opening you to the wonderful possibilities still ahead. When you consciously engage with your own evolution this way, you may find that your sleep gets sweeter, filling your night with a deeper sense of trust and relaxation. As you rest, you can surrender to these peaceful hours, knowing that the road behind you has been seen and acknowledged with respect and kindness, while the path ahead now holds your own benevolence and well wishes.
This bedtime ritual empowers you as the only one who can determine the meaning of your own past and the hopefulness of your future. By setting this special time aside each night, you can begin to orient yourself on your path of growing. It allows you to let the past have its place, to trust that the future is taken care of, and to simply rest yourself in the graceful arms of the present moment.
BEEN HAVING PANIC ATTACKS ALL DAY TODAY! I REALLY WISH I COULD GET A HANDLE ON THIS. MY MEDS DON'T SEEM TO BE WORKING AND IT STARTING TO KEEP ME IN THE HOUSE. THIS DOESN'T WORK FOR ME, I'M FAR TO SOCIABLE FOR THAT.

First thing I do in the morning is look at this painting I did. Simple, but divine (in my opinion) It is a painting of a sun, not your convention sun (of course). It has huge different color (red, yellow) rays that are all spiral shaped and really cool looking. the sun itself is blended from red to orange then a little yellow. The sky behind the sun is a very powerful, dark , angry looking sky - to me anyway,,, I'm rambling. so I get out of bed make myself listen to the Bob Marley song over and over while , I lay back down and meditate into my painting of the sun. Then i drag ass to my top drawer and start getting my meds out for my "morning down the hatch ritual" (haha- no really). I 'm gonna write to you so check your mail.
