Free Yourself – Time to Shed Old Layers to Re-birth in 2013


Think about or imagine a person (or animal) in your life that you love wholeheartedly. This love that you have for them is without judgment and unconditional, it is a true gift that both of you share. Now consider this, do you love yourself as completely and wholeheartedly as you do this person (or animal)? If you do, congratulations on your self-love and the self-work you have done to get to this place, however, most of us are not able to truly answer that question with a ‘yes’.
Many think self-love is just a form of narcissism, but the purest love knows no conceit. From a spiritual perspective, loving the self communicates humility and gratitude to whatever force gives us life. From a pragmatic perspective, studies show that self-forgiveness reduces procrastination, helps us break negative habits, and promotes personal growth.” ~ Self Forgiveness on the Path to Freedom

If self-forgiveness “reduces procrastination, helps us break negative habits, and promotes personal growth”, why are we all not working to do this to create a more productive and positive future for ourselves? Sometimes it can feel ‘easier’ to hold onto our pain instead of shed light to it and address it head on. When we address our issues and heal what needs healing, we can then move forward with more positive energy to create our reality.
“Between the 12th and 21st of this month, the seeds you plant by your thoughts, words, and actions are very critical for what you will experience in the years ahead.” ~ Dr. Theresa Ibis, “The End of 2012 is Finally Here…What’s In Store? & What Can You Do To Support The Transition At Hand?”

This energetic time (between 12.12.12. and 12.21.12) is perfect for shedding our old layers, leaving them behind, and transforming into the butterflies we wish to be. In order to shed our old layers, most of us have some self-healing work to do. While all of our self-healing is unique, there are most often common underlying themes. Two of these common underlying themes have to do with forgiving ourselves for our past actions so that we are able to move forward freely, as well as loving and accepting ourselves fully for who we are. In order to love and accept ourselves fully, we may need to first identify the pieces of ourselves that we need to address and forgive. Sometimes we don’t even know definitively what that is, so it can be a process just to identify it.

This process of stepping forward and identifying our areas we need to work on takes courage. To actively work on self-forgiveness and self-love and to shed those old paradigm thoughts around who we are can be tough.  But by shedding these layers, we are able to step forward and step out into who we truly are. By doing this we can then then accomplish the things we wish to create for ourselves and live out our personal vision. It is hard to create something new for ourselves if we cling to our old patterns and behaviors, so in this new year what would you like to forgive yourself for? Or what would you like to love yourself for? With this year coming to a close, let’s make now the time.

I challenge us all to work on shedding the old and stepping fully into ourselves and our personal power to create the lives we wish to live. If you need a boost to help you do this, there are upcoming classes and healing sessions that can assist in this process.

A meditation a day keeps the doctor away...

Meditation practice is continuing to make its way into mainstream medicine.

How can this be? Well, the majority of Americans experience high amounts of stress and continue to seek treatment for the side effects of stress - high blood pressure, headaches, fatigue, ulcers, and anxiety, to name just a few. Even the Mayo clinic has reported the benefits of meditation finding significant and measurable stress-reduction properties. And now, CNN just published results of a new study claiming meditation is a "therapeutic powerhouse, with far-reaching influence on both psychological and physical health."

The latest study highlights:
*Meditation actually relieves loneliness and the feeling of being disconnected.
*Meditation reduces inflammation, which plays a key role in major illnesses. It can help serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's and irritable bowel syndrome.

The study was led by J. David Creswell, assistant professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. For best results he suggests taking part in a formal meditation program lead by a meditation instructor to provide structure and build your skill set.

At True Sanctuary, we offer meditation classes based on ancient meditation arts handed down in a direct lineage from teacher to student. Our instructors have gone through hundreds of hours of training before becoming certified. They teach classes to a variety of students - from children as young as five years old, professionals seeking stress release, adults interested in quieting the mind and increasing creativity levels, to elderly seeking improved quality of physical health and peace of mind.

Our classes receive positive testimonials from students: Journeys of the Spirit class; Sanctuary Meditation; Max Meditation and the Empower Thyself Workshop.

Check our calendar of events to sign up for a class, or contact us for a private lesson! We're currently offering classes in Minneapolis, Denver and Fargo.
