Our breath has so much power, and we can utilize that power by remembering to use it! ⠀ ⠀ Today I want you to pay attention to your breath. There’s nothing to change. Just notice the sensation of the breath moving in and out of you throughout the day. See how many times you can return to the present moment with the breath as your guide.⠀ ⠀ And if you feel stressed or anxious today, please use the breath to move you through it. Pause, and begin to count 3 deep breaths. ⠀ ⠀ There are so many breathing exercises that can help us shift our moods and energy. If you feel stressed or anxious today, try taking a deep breath through your nose and exhaling out the mouth as if you were blowing out a birthday candle. Be sure that your lips form and small circle and that the exhale is pushing along the edges of your lips. There are lots of nerves there and blowing this way can help reduce stress. You can even imagine that as you do this you are blowing away or releasing all your stress. ⠀ ⠀ I hope this helps and I hope that today you let your breath be your guide!⠀ ⠀ Much love! ⠀ Arianna ✨💜😭⠀ ⠀ #breathingexercises #reducestress #easeanxiety #selfcarecoach #spiritualcounselor #meditationteacher #letyourbreathbeyourguide #breathing #presentmoment #awareness #selflove #selfcare #anxietytips #stressless #howtobehappy (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B09AR9olawV/?igshid=1x47bl89y3fxg

One of my biggest recommendations for my clients (besides meditation, of course) is to find something that they are passionate about just for the fun and joy of it and allow yourself the time to enjoy it. ⠀ ⠀ Giving ourselves permission to PLAY is so important and so healing.⠀ ⠀ Here’s a snapshot from the video of my first Dungeons and Dragons session. I’ve wanted to play my whole life and now I’ve created the space and time in my life to enjoy this activity, and as you can see by the picture, I am fully enjoying it! ⠀ ⠀ So I’d like to you take some time today for yourself, do something fun that makes you excited, makes you laugh, makes you feel free. And if you don’t know what that is for you yet, think about what you’d like to do! What did you love or want to do when you were a child? What are you passionate about? ⠀ ⠀ Now go play! ⠀ ⠀ Have a beautifully fun day, and check out the link in my bio for the most recent free guided meditation. We meet at @bounty_books at 9 am every Wednesday and discuss a different topic. Today we talked about Abundance, and next week will be Inspiration.⠀ ⠀ So get out there, get inspired, and PLAY!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #followyourbliss #howtobehappy #spiritualcounselor #meditationteacher #dnd #playtime #healing #happiness #gratitude🙏 #findyourpassion #liveyourpassion #havefun #bigsmiles #laughteristhebestmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/B0B2-tAF_k0/?igshid=1h5gkl4lpdenr

Though you may have missed our weekly discussion and meditation group yesterday, you can still enjoy the guided meditation for free by clicking the link in my bio!⠀ ⠀ This weeks topic was mindfulness, which is a life changing process of bringing awareness to the present moment. It has been shown to relieve stress, improve health and focus, as well as give people more resilience to pain or negative circumstances.⠀ ⠀ My favorite thing about mindfulness is that it helps me to enjoy life more. The little things become huge in the focus of my awareness. The scent of a flower, the taste of chocolate, the feel of a hug from a loved one. I’m able to be here completely for those beautiful little parts of life that are most important and often pushed aside due to stress.⠀ ⠀ Let’s spend today paying attention to how our body feels, to how many times we are distracted by thoughts and how many times we notice and bring our attention back to the present moment.⠀ ⠀ Have a beautiful and mindful day! ✨⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mindfulness #freemeditation #beherenow #bepresent #meditationteacher #mindfulnessreminders #relievestress #selfawareness #enjoylife #meditateeverydamnday (at Bounty Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxz7puvnoss/?igshid=boo6cgd1xy57

Here’s a behind the scenes shot from my photoshoot this morning with the fabulous @carleneimagery ! ⠀ ⠀ The fun and silliness we had “dirtin’ it” brought me right back to the message I’ve been giving and receiving in all my healings and meditations lately. This message is to PLAY! ENJOY LIFE! GO EASY ON YOURSELF! WE ARE HERE FOR JOY!⠀ ⠀ Maybe rubbing dirt on your face won’t be what you’re lead to, but listen to your heart. What would bring you the most joy today? ⠀ ⠀ Laugh at yourself and get back into that childlike wonder that we all used to have.⠀ ⠀ Have a beautifully fun day! 😁💜✨⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #funinthedirt #photoshoot #behindthescenes #childlikewonder #timetoplay #howtobehappy #spiritualcounselor #modeling #silliness #wearehereforjoy #gratitude ⠀ #enjoylife (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxvQxBLlG4o/?igshid=z3op402we0zh

Tomorrow morning from 9-10am at @bounty_books I will be leading another free discussion and meditation group. This weeks topic is Self Compassion.⠀ ⠀ What does self compassion mean to you?⠀ How does the phrase make you feel? Does it make you uncomfortable? ⠀ Does it feel foreign or forced?⠀ ⠀ Does it feel like something you need more of?⠀ ⠀ I want you to relax into this moment. Take a deep breath. Imagine that you are seeing a child before you that is crying in physical or emotional pain. Reach out to them. Care for them. Comfort them. How would you speak to them? How would you treat them?⠀ ⠀ Now try to treat yourself that way today.⠀ ⠀ With all your stress, all you worries, all your to do lists, pay attention and speak to yourself like a child that you adore in that situation. Be gentle. Be kind. Be encouraging. ⠀ ⠀ Be compassionate.⠀ ⠀ I hope to see you tomorrow morning!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #selfcompassion #meditationgroup #vacavilleevents #localmeetups #bekindtoyourself #encouragingwords #spiritualcounselor #meditationcoach #youdeservecompassion #innerchildhealing #youaresafeandloved (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/BxdHSlIl7XS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6cpwejgl94f3

We can be so hard on ourselves.⠀ ⠀ I want you to spend today paying attention to the words you are saying and thinking to and about yourself.⠀ ⠀ Would you say those words to a friend? Would you say them to a child? To a stranger? ⠀ ⠀ If the answer is no, then breathe and release it. Imagine what you would say to another with love and compassion, and say it to yourself. 💜💜💜⠀ ⠀ And if you’re having a hard time releasing it, stop by @bounty_books from 1-4 today for a mini Reiki session, 20 minutes for $20. Let’s let that all go and dive into a life of Ease and Bliss!⠀ ⠀ Shoutout to @carlene_imagery for another beautiful shot! Thanks lovely! 🙏💜🙌 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #careforyou #bekindtoyourself #reikienergy #spiritualcounselor #easeandbliss #thoughtsarepowerful #beyourownbestfriend #boudoir #modeling #selflovetips #spiritualgrowth #youdeservejoy (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/BxVMz9clddU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8e15tooi59bj

As I sit here in my new business location @blissfulmassagevacaville I feel flooded with gratitude.⠀ ⠀ 6 years ago I wrote in my manifestation journal about my future place of business where multiple healers with varied modalities come together to share, and that there would be a lovely lounge area with tea, books, and cards to pull for people to come and enjoy even if they had no session booked.⠀ ⠀ Here I sit, sipping tea, meditating, enjoying the other healers that are coming and going, and filling out my new business license for this lovely location, and then I look over and see this. 😲 It’s not even flipped to the right day 😂 I love living my synchronicities 🥰⠀ ⠀ I’m stunned. I’m in awe. I’m blessed.⠀ ⠀ Thank you, thank you, thank you!⠀ ⠀ #attitudeofgratitude #blissful #manifestations #soulfulbusiness #bejoy⠀ #hypnotherapist #reikilife #spiritualcounselor #blessed #lawofattraction #liveyourdreamlife #synchronicity #abrahamhicks #vacavillebusiness (at Blissful Massage and Wellness Center) https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/Bw-vVCBl66M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=77fonmgh8wwe

I just returned from the best vacation of my life. We flew to Florida and met our newfound biological family, my incredible 94 year old great grandfather, my wonderful new aunts and cousins and grandparents and more, including a cousin who was born 7 years after me on my birthday and we are so alike it’s hilarious!⠀ ⠀ I also followed my joy and made a new and synchronistic friend. We did reiki by the water and had the most amazing healing experience together that I can barely even describe.⠀ ⠀ I feel blessed! I feel so welcomed and loved! I feel like #Florida is fantastic! I feel #sunburnt 😂💃🏻🔥⠀ ⠀ And now I’m home and everything is working out for me beautifully.⠀ ⠀ I seriously can’t even tell you how happy I am. I hope that you are blessed with joy today!!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #grateful🙌 #synchronistic #reikihealing #vacation🌴 #smilesformiles #blissedout #💃🏻 #flowersinherhair (at Florida) https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/Bw8Ppbel5M8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b8dfaib9cfda

Let’s tap into the part of us that cares deeply for our health, happiness, and success. Let’s live as the most compassionate, confident, joyous version of ourselves.⠀ ⠀ It’s a practice, and how I’ve been moving toward that in my own life is by asking myself this question: what would my higher self do?⠀ ⠀ Then going and doing that. ⠀ ⠀ How would my higher self react to rejection? How would my higher self feel about me right now?⠀ ⠀ Remember that the highest version of ourselves is full of love, forgiveness, excitement, and joy. They’ve already been through it all, they have no judgement, they just want the best for you. Like the most perfect sibling or aunt that makes you laugh and helps you feel like you can conquer the world.⠀ ⠀ Take a look at the link in my bio for a little ramble on this idea. It’s been a huge help on my own path of healing and self improvement. There’s no room for self sabotage when you think as that higher version of yourself. ⠀ ⠀ You deserve to be your highest self!⠀ ⠀ #higherself #spiritualgrowth #spiritualcoach #selfsabotage #success #healwithyourhigherself #youdeservejoy⠀ #grateful #personaldevelopment #motivation #selfcareissexy https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/Bwcmhl8Fbnf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13s9rw41iuhun

When I was growing up, I felt ugly. I felt awkward, weird, unlovable. ⠀ ⠀ Then I hit 13 and all of a sudden the male gaze was weighing heavy on me, everywhere I went. ⠀ ⠀ Being told by countless old and young men that I was hot, but that I’d be even hotter if (fill in the blank) did not help me feel more beautiful. Being told almost every day everywhere I walked no matter what I wore or did that men wanted to take me home did not make me feel beautiful. (Btw, that’s not how it’s usually phrased.) ⠀ ⠀ Being told by my friends and family, and later my significant others that I was beautiful did not make me feel beautiful.⠀ ⠀ It wasn’t until I told myself, over and over again that I was beautiful that I began to feel it.⠀ ⠀ We all have hard days, bad hair days, days when our clothes or our makeup just don’t feel right, but we need to remember that nothing will make us feel beautiful except ourselves.⠀ ⠀ So please, forget all the sh** you see and hear everyday. Take a look in the mirror and tell yourself, “I am beautiful, I am lovable, I am enough” today!⠀ ⠀ If you need more help feeling that, I highly recommend meditation, journaling, and other forms of self care like going on walks in nature, drinking plenty of water, eating fresh foods, getting decent sleep. Bit by bit, the better we care for ourselves, the better we feel, inside and out.⠀ ⠀ And here’s another shoutout because I love working with @carleneimagery ! She always helps me remember my beauty, and she helps people conjure up and capture parts of their souls to treasure forever. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #selflove #blackandwhite #spiritualcounselor #hypnotherapist⠀ #selfcaresaturday #modeling #iamenough #iambeautiful #iamlovable #healing #malegaze #beauty https://www.instagram.com/arialynna/p/BwNRYLUForZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=olrjaosklypi
