Tough Love from Raj the Spirit Guide

My mind was real busy yesterday during my massage. Partly because I hadn't been in so long, my muscles were like sheets of steel. So it hurt. Secondly, once I started to feel the ahhh of the relaxation therapy kicking in, all I could think about was putting the final touch on my home studio so I can share the blissful experience with others, through Reiki.

Every time I experience something wonderful, I'm always thinking of how I can share it with others. How can you keep a great feeling to yourself? I find myself constantly inspired of how to give, and nothing inspires me more than self-care and play.

The massage limbered me up to begin my pilates practice again. It's been a few months, way too long for me to go without this mind/body stress reliever. It was frustrating to feel my body struggling, the muscles obviously weaker than usual. But I felt so much better afterward. With baby steps of just 20 minutes a day, I will work my way back up to feeling strong again. It's so grounding, too. I love exercise, just not so much when I don't do it for a while. It's always the initial work outs that are the most challenging, after that you get into the groove.

Last week, one of my spirit guides, an Indian yogi named Raj, literally yelled at me (with tough love) to start my yoga practice again. He's rail thin, and always appears to me wearing a button down shirt, casual pants, and a turban. He has large, intense brown eyes and looks to be in his twenties, maybe a young looking thirties. He's very serious, especially about yoga and meditation, and I think I must annoy him with my airy nature. But he is great at helping me discipline myself so I can be the best I can be, and feel the best I can feel.

God bless Raj. One must have a lot of patience to be my spirit guide.

  1. Pilates and yoga :) I'd say listen to Raj. He knows what he's talking about.

    I hope you enjoyed your massage!
