I live in Michigan and lately the news hasn’t been good this past month.   From the national stage that told us of death, riots and torture to the local reality of Michigan defunding schools to fund roads and then telling us that anyone can claim religious freedom for a reason to discriminate.  I am frustrated, dismayed and feeling a bit hopeless.     The conversation turned to national and local concerns, no surprise there.  I talked about the astrological influences on our culture and that this is where we are testing our resolve.  Another Mom talked about her frustrations and worries around her son.   Then another mom (one of my favorites) shared a quote with us from an up and coming religious leader.   "Fundamentalism is a reaction to progress" Reza Aslan   Mr Aslan is a writer and a scholar of religious studies and a Muslim.   Many of us Americans...

Write out what you are going to do to create a 5 minute miracle for the next 6 days. Repeat this every 7th day.   - Jacki Smith

Spiritually cleanse this morning before you face the day. Smudge, use a salt scrub, oils, bathe with tea-bags, anything that you normally do to cleanse, but do it in a very focused way. How much different was your day?   - Jacki Smith

When you get home from work today, instead of lying down or sitting down, shake yourself up. Shake all the excess energy or unwelcome energy off of your body. Shake your head, arms, trunk, butt, legs and feet. Now yell a little while you shake. What mood were you in before you shook and after you shook?   - Jacki Smith

Put your hand on your heart and on your solar plexus and visualize the energy cycling between those two Chakras. How does that feel to you? Are you feeling any discordant energy? If you do, let the energy flow until it feels smoother.   - Jacki Smith

Touch your toes and hang that way for a full 60 seconds. Even if you have to bend your knees, touch your toes. Lift you arms high, look up and slightly arch your back. Hold that for 60 seconds. Bring your arms out to the side for 60 seconds, making yourself a giant “t”. Now hug yourself for as long as you can. What thoughts came to you in each position. 1 – What you need to relax from, 2 – What do you need guidance on, 3 – what in your life are you open to, 4 – What in your life are you embracing.   - Jacki Smith

Get up and take a brisk walk in the world for five minutes or jog in place for 3 minutes. How different do you feel in your energy center? Do you have a better outlook on your day?   - Jacki Smith

Touch a tree today. Feel with your physical and spiritual hands how strong it is. How it is solid yet it has a living energy. Feel how the energy of the tree comes from deep within the earth. Bring that energy into your body and allow your roots to grow deep. The tree has a message for you, open up to receive it. What was your message?   - Jacki Smith
