Soul Centered Running

Do you hear mind chatter while you’re running or walking? Do you tend to think of the things you should be doing instead of running? Do you find it hard to turn off the external stimuli while running? Then what is soul centered running you ask?


Soul Centered Running is learning to turn off all the external stimuli and internal chatter while you are running. This is hard to do for some, especially if you are a very visual person. If your running on the treadmill you can simply hold on to the handles and close your eyes, but if you’re running outside in nature you can't close your eyes, instead focus on the sounds of nature. Then in turn pay attention to your breathing. Take deep breathes and feel the air travel down into your lungs. Start to notice your muscles. How do they feel? Can you feel them working?


When you start paying attention to the internal workings of your physical body, your mind chatter goes away. You are then, at that time, in the moment, in the present. It is when you are in the present moment that you are one with your spirit. It is then that you are soul center running.


You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish when you are soul centered! Leave the past and the future out of the moment and enjoy your run/walk!

Tis the Season to be Grateful!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the USA. This is a day to give thanks, to reflect on what you are grateful for. Every day should be Thanksgiving! Try sitting down in the evening at the end of your day and list 3 things that you are grateful for. This could be difficult after a stressful day, but once you create your gratitude list you will feel the shift of your body and spirit take place.

When you sit down to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, take a moment and give thanks. Thanks for your meal, your family, your life, whatever you can give thanks for. Carry this gratitude forward into every day. Make it a habit to give thanks. Your heart will open up, your stress will decline and you will feel lighter and happier.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Be Still and Listen!

Sounds simple but be still and listen could be very hard to do. To learn to quite your chatter in your head so you can hear your inner guidance. I am still learning how to be still and listen.

Next time you are in your vehicle driving, exercising, or just sitting in your office turn any and all external influences off, like the TV or radio. Close your eyes if you can, if you can't then that is okay just take a few simple deep breathes. Pay attention to each breathe. Focus on breathing in and out. Do this for at least a minute. If the internal chatter starts just dismiss it and focus on your breath.

This mini meditation will help you learn to be still and listen. Try it and let me know how it works for you.

Conflict and Turmoil Lead to Illness and Disease!

When we have conflict and turmoil in our lives it leads to illness and disease within our bodies. We must learn how to live our lives creating peace and letting go of those people and things that disrupt our peace. Whenever your body creates an illness look to your environment and or external influences in your life that may be causing this. Is someone that you are acquainted with causing you to feel uneasy. It is just possible that when we suppress these emotions of anger and guilt that we are creating our own dis-ease.

When we lead our lives according to our spirit we are at ease and therefore we cannot inhabit pain, illness our disease within our bodies. When we have pain, illness or conditions it is always related to underlying issues that we have internalized and have not learned to work through. We have not made peace and let go. It is when we make peace and let go that we will no longer have illness or disease in our lives.

Take the time to sit back and look at your situation. Only you can know what you need. Listen to your intuition and your gut feelings. Purge your life of those things that cause your conflict and turmoil. You will see your health improve. Remember it may not only be one thing but it may be several issues that you need to work on. Remove your ego and fears and just listen to your inner guidance.

Spiritual Being Living in This Physical Form.

This morning's run became quite difficult for me. My ego kept telling me to quit, that I wasn't going to be able to make 30 minutes and to make sure I stop at one mile. How frustrating is it when your own mind keeps telling you that you are a loser!


Well I didn't let this happen. I remembered that I am a spiritual being living in this physical body. It is up to my spirit to keep this body in perfect working condition while I am here in this life time in order for my spirit to full fill its duties. I kept telling my ego to push aside and let my spirit pull me through this run. Well the thirty minutes came and I ran over 3 miles. My spirit most definitely pulled me through.

I am a healer, a mother, a wife, and a registered nurse. I will heal as many people as I can, including myself while I am here on this earthly plane. I will full fill this lifetime's destiny and live a spirit full life. If you care to join me on this journey, you are more than welcome to follow :)

The Choices We Make Change Our Lives!

In case anyone was wondering I am still running! I have run a total to date of 169.6 miles since June 22, 2009. That is a long way :)

I original started running because it was suggested by my physician. It seems my LDL cholesterol is made up of the small dense particles instead of the large buoyant particles. This means that I am at higher risk of a heart attack or a stroke. So, I made the choice to follow my physician’s advice and run for 30 minutes four times a week. I have been doing fairly well at the running but I am still finding it difficult at times.

I am due to have my blood work taken next month so I will let all of you know how things are going sometime in December. While all this is going on I have made a conscious choice to watch the food that I put into my body. I have been very diligent at looking at labels. I am staying away from all processed foods as much as I can. I am avoided fructose corn syrup, which I might add that they put this in almost everything (cereal, bread, crackers, etc...). This hasn't been easy but I do know that I am the only one that can help me. I can't sit around waiting for someone to fix this problem or give me some little pill to make it better.


Every day, I make the conscious choice to heal my mind, body, and spirit. I run, I meditate, I do self Reiki, I think positive, and I send my love and light into the world. I know that every day is a gift here on earth and I am going to make sure I do my part to be able to live this gift to its fullest.

Try today to change one thing in your life that will make a difference, and then stick with it! If you don't feel like it or cave for a second, pick yourself up and get right back on track.
