As we move through life it can be exciting, invigorating and stressful. Sometimes, much too stressful. So what is it you need to emerge stronger and in peace when life’s everyday hustle and bustle goes to an extreme?

What we need and recommend is many moments alone. These moments must be conscious and concentrated to the extreme…for extreme stress must be balanced by extreme relaxation. So a few minutes alone in the car before shopping does not cut it. We must thoughtfully set aside a quiet place and time for conscious relaxation. This time should be at least one half hour with these ingredients:

One part deep breathing/alt. nostril breathing

One part guided meditation and/or hypno-session

And two parts silence.

During this time the only noise should be in your ears and brain. As we know the mind will always do what minds do…chatter. Allow this to be OK and stay in awareness of the breathing. Know that you are perfect just as you are, and you deserve only the best life has to offer. You are a beautiful being and presence here in this world, and you are truly valuable because only YOU can contribute in this life what you came here to contribute—no one else can be a better you!

This recipe surely will be so tasty… and calorie free! If you think about it, it’s really not much time out of a 24-hour period, and it’s worth a small fortune if it gets you to relax and feel good about yourself. Just imagine how much more productive you are when you are fully centered and empowered! Take the time to create this “recipe for wellness” and your life will be filled with many wonderful moments.
