How to Make Lavender Water
Lavender water is so refreshing and it’s long-lasting. It can be used to freshen up the air or try spraying it on your yoga mat or bed sheets. It can even be used to spritz your clothes while ironing. I like to keep a small bottle in my car for cooling off on hot days. Lavender water is for external use only. Do not spray into eyes or other sensitive areas.
Lavender oil has a calming and soothing effect and can relieve tension. It can be effective for headaches and insomnia too. Did you know it also has antibacterial qualities?

Woodland Walk: Free Guided Imagery Script
By Julie Lusk
This is a free guided imagery script of an imaginary walk in the woods that will renew your energy and vitality. It is published in Julie’s Yoga Meditations book and is on the CD included with the book. See below.
Time: 15 minutes
Begin by treating yourself to an enjoyable and satisfying stretch. Go ahead, it’s time to loosen up and stretch so you can reclaim your energy. That’s right. Stretch all over.
And now, please allow your entire body to settle and relax comfortably . . . if your legs or arms are crossed, please uncross them and settle yourself into whatever you are sitting or lying on.
Take in a nice big breath …fill your lungs full…and breathe out to let go from deep inside… And now, simply follow your breath in…and out…allowing each breath to refresh you on many levels.
With your eyes closed or barely open, begin to shift your attention away from the world around you to your inner world of sensations and into your imagination. It will do you good.
Take a big breath in . . . And sigh it all the way out.
Let your imagination take you
Blue Moon Rising CD has released!!
Miracles do happen! Synchronicity too!
The Blue Moon of August set the scene for the recording of my newest CD. This one features 16 beautiful tracks played on the Native American style flute with the sounds of Mother Nature as the backdrop.
The Blue Moon was the day I got a brand new wooden flute from Joseph Whitefeather and Sage Mato. The flute is beautiful and has the most amazing sound. He promised me that it is a healer. He was right! What a welcome surprise it was when the flute music began pouring out of me like a waterfall, so naturally and easily. It had healed me from the remnants of fear and doubt that had plagued my musicality since I was a kid. I felt so happy.
I played the flute during my yoga classes the first chance I got. Folks really appreciated how relaxing it was and commented on its healing sound. Quite a few encouraged me to make a recording so they could enjoy it whenever and wherever they want. Here is what is happening. Marilyn listens to it in her truck. Diana plays it when she gives a massage. Mary listens to it on her daily walk, Susan and her daughter listen on their way to school, several play it before bed, and Kate said that not only does she like it, her dog does too.
To celebrate, Blue Moon Rising is on sale until Nov. 15. Why wait?
Mind Body Mastery
What is the Mind-Body Connection?
The mind-body connection recognizes the reality that the mind and body are intimately and ultimately linked as one. There is absolutely no separation. What is thought or felt always resonates throughout the body moment by moment
through a bio-chemical reaction. This reaction is either life and health enhancing or defeating. It has also been verified that each emotion has a distinct biochemical signature that affects mental and physical health.
Researchers report that meditation, controlled breathing, deep relaxation and directed, guided imagery can boost the immune system, alter blood pressure, decrease pain, and help with problems such as infertility and insomnia. These practices often help people cope with and recover from unpleasant medical procedures as well as the effects of stress from daily living. Furthermore, the refinement of consciousness that takes place leads to spiritual growth and maturity.
Positive aspects of this connection consist of and contribute to:
- The ability to accomplish dreams and goals
- Feelings of contentment
- Living in balance
- Physical, emotional, and mental well-being
- Awakening the spirit
- Finding peace and happiness
On the other hand, the mind-body connection can also:
- Undermine one’s health physically, mentally and emotionally
- Create negativity
- Block the flow of creative and healing energy
- Contribute to illness, injuries and disease
- Cause unhappiness and dissatisfaction
Transformational tools that activate and assist this process include:
- Focused breathing
- Guided imagery and creative visualization
- Meditation
- Mind-body fitness modalities like yoga and tai chi
- Affirmations
- Honest expression and congruence of thoughts, feelings and actions

Take a 2-hour Power Nap in 10 minutes
Trouble sleeping? Insomnia is at epidemic proportions and has dreadful consequences. A few problems associated with inadequate sleep include feeling irritable, exhausted, lowered immunity, poor mental / emotional health, and heart disease.
Relaxing regularly and deeply is the perfect remedy to conquer stress. The World Health Organization predicts that stress-related disorders and psychological disorders will be the second leading cause of disabilities in the world by 2020.
Guided Relaxation is another tool for your stress relief toolbox. The secret to gaining relaxed energy is to clear away the mental ruckus and emotional debris to make room for clear thinking.
One of the easiest ways of doing this is through relaxing the muscular tension held in the body by tensing and releasing muscle groups throughout your body using a reliable technique known as progressive muscular relaxation. Doing so not only releases physical tension, it also teaches you the felt difference between tension and relaxation.
By knowing this, you can catch physical tension early on and before it causes painful headaches, back problems and digestive trouble. A calming effect for the body, mind, emotions and spirit is awakened as well.
