Confronting Discomfort To Truly Heal

The ability to "relax" is an important prerequisite for our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Autogenic training's efficacy lies in its scientific foundation. Through consistent practice, it triggers the body's relaxation response, reducing levels of stress hormones like cortisol. This not only alleviates anxiety, restlessness, and worry but also bolsters the immune system, fostering a healthier physiological state. Moreover, its impact on the autonomic nervous system promotes a sense of calmness and equilibrium, making it a potent tool for managing various health conditions associated with stress. With love and kindness, Your Dr. Livingstone

Autogenic training promotes relaxation by triggering the body's response to stress hormones, improving physical and mental health.

Being a Beacon of Kindness

When we step into a life of kindness, our world takes on a whole new outlook. We start with being kind to ourselves first. This gives us space to be kind to others and the world in general. The universe is then kind back to us in return.

Kindness starts with being kind to ourselves, which allows us to extend that kindness to others and the world, resulting in kindness being returned to us.

Christian Loving Kindness

Even as this episode of Life Coaching WISDOM is released months into this global pandemic of 2020, the messages that I share are omnipresent and incredibly important for when you listen; because now is the future. A-HA MOMENTS: For however you have been living your life up until this moment, you must realize that you have been choosing your future. PRACTICAL WISDOM: What I want to emphasize and inspire at this time and in this brave new world that we are all being “rebirthed” into; is the absolute need for greater conscious choice; to wield the freedom that you hold, to choose what you deeply desire; and to live fearless of this; because you now understand that you are able to have everything that you have always wanted. TRUTH SERUM: What you have been wanting and waiting for is before you now. Now is the time to take new action. This time is unprecedented in our lives; and with it is the possibility for change; and new beginnings of consciousness and loving-kindness for all living beings. Now is the time to set in motion what you have been wanting for so long. Now is your time. It is the time for all of us to mobilize into action what is most wanted, and to step forth into this brave new world that we are living. The Future is Here. It is Now. Namaste love dorothy

Taste of Kindness

Bring acceptance and kindness to oneself with this meditation. Why is it so challenging to love and accept ourselves? This is a common issue that people present to me during healing sessions. Most of us are continually striving, trying to prove we are OK causing us to not fully enjoy our lives. We can be our own worst critics which cause great suffering. We rarely feel we are good enough just as we are. This does not mean we stop growing and healing but it does mean accepting who we are in this moment with Kindness.

Meditation helps bring self-acceptance and kindness, overcoming challenges of constantly striving to prove ourselves and being our own worst critics.

How to Love and Accept Yourself

Sending loving kindness to yourself and others can be a nurturing practice that brings ease into your day. Give it a try.

Practice sending loving kindness to yourself and others for a more nurturing and easy day.

Sitting in this meditation helps us befriend the mind and body, promoting relaxation. As we sit in stillness, we cultivate a closer relationship with our thoughts and emotions, observing them without judgment. By connecting with our bodies, we become more attuned to physical sensations and tensions, allowing us to release stress and achieve a state of calmness. The practice of meditation enables us to be present, fully embracing the moment and fostering a sense of inner peace and a sense of kindness. Through regular practice, we develop the skill of relaxation, empowering us to cope better with life's challenges and enhancing overall well-being.

Meditation promotes relaxation, cultivates a closer relationship with thoughts and emotions, releases stress, and fosters inner peace.
