Connecting To Your Best Self

Posted on by

Hi there everyone and welcome back to TRCB Tuesday where each week I will be sharing a healing video with you to help balance the chakras and help each one of us bring forward our best selves in every day life.

This week we are focusing on connecting deeply with our own inner spirit in order to bring forward the best that is within us. We are human and we are learning and growing and we are also spirit and filled with greatness. We each have a spark of the divine that lies within and when we learn to connect deeply we can access the best that is within us.

When we learn to connect deeply we can connect to the place within us that is already wise, already confident, already loving and compassionate, already balance and filled with humility. When we learn to connect deeply we can more easily bring forward the best that lies within.

Be sure to check out this weeks healing video if you would like to experience the healing power of TRCB (Tong Ren Chakra Balancing) and learn how to connect more deeply to your inner spirit so that you can more easily bring the best that is within you forward.

This weeks healing affirmations are:

Crown: I am connected. I am connected to my own inner spirit.

Third eye: I connect deeply to the wisdom of my spirit.

Throat: I connect deeply to the confidence of my spirit.

Heart: I connect deeply to the love that lies within.

Solar Plexus: I connect deeply to the acceptance that lies within.

Identity: I connect deeply to the balance of my spirit.

Base: I connect deeply to the humility that lies within my spirit.

And there you have it. Your seven chakra balancing affirmations for the week. Remember to use the pauses in your day to practice your affirmations and to practice connecting deeply to the best that is within you.

Again, when you connect to deeply to your own inner spirit, you will more easily access and bring forward the wisdom of your spirit, the confidence of your spirit, the love and compassion of your spirit, the depth of your spirit, the emotional balance of your spirit, and the humility of your spirit.

Practice connecting deeply with your own inner spirit this week and bring forward the best that is within you. Remember to be kind and patient with yourself, for the process of learning to consistently bring forward your best self is in fact a process. Be patient with the stumbles and falls for they are to be expected. Know that all are learning and all are growing and all are on a long journey home.

Have a good week.

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Hello Everyone,
Have you ever had someone in your life who really annoys you? Of course you have, we all have at least one or two. I found myself recently really annoyed by someone and couldn’t let it go. In this midst of my turmoil, I heard the message: Accept her.

I understand that acceptance doesn’t mean see her everyday or even see her at all. I understand that the message, “accept her,” simply means that the first step in my healing from this situation is acceptance. It was a message of let her be who she is and stop reacting to it.

Generally, after one has accepted a situation, then you can then ask: Given what is, what am I to do? But it hard to know what to do in these sort of situations until you have accepted it. That is because acceptance brings us calm, and when we are calm we are more able to accurately access the situation and thus know what to do.

So I thought I’d share a short guided meditation that I wrote to help all of us come to greater acceptance around something that is bugging us. I hope that you find it helpful!

i accept you:

Take a moment now to bring to mind someone who has been annoying you, someone that you have trouble accepting. Take a moment to remember that everyone has a story, everyone has a reason that they behave the way that they do. This is not meant to justify poor behavior but rather enable you to embrace the acceptance that you need for peace.

We are all learning and we are all growing and everyone makes mistakes. It is through this mistake process that growth and learning happens.

And so take a moment now to really embrace this process. Embrace that all are learning and all are growing. Fill yourself with a feeling of acceptance for this process. Learn to see others as children who are learning and growing and at the same time learn to see others as spirit and capable of greatness as well.

Know that all are learning and all are growing and all are filled with great divinity as well.

Affirm to yourself:

I accept.
I accept.
I accept.

I accept you for who you are.
I accept that you have strengths.
I accept that you have weaknesses.
I accept that you are learning and growing.

I accept.
I accept.
I accept.

Wrap this person and this situation in acceptance. Learn to accept people for who they are and where they are. Know that everyone is at different stages of development. Know that everyone is at different states of awareness. Know that everyone has different levels of challenge and different backgrounds that influence how they behave. Make acceptance your first step.

Affirm frequently:

I accept.
I accept.
I accept.

After you have accepted what is, you can ask: Given what is, what am I to do? As you ask this question you will gradually move into a knowing about how to best be with this situation.

Sometimes you will be guided to step forward and sometimes you will be guided to step back. Sometimes you will be guided to express and sometimes you will be guided to be quiet. The individual attunement will vary.

Experiment today with accepting others for who they are. Experiment today by embracing your relationships with a deep acceptance of what is.

Acceptance is not the same as complacency, but rather acceptance is an acknowledgement of what is and is a releasing of the turmoil around a situation. When the turmoil is released you will see more clearly how to respond.

But the first step is always acceptance. And so let this be your practice for today. Accept. Accept. Accept.

When you find turmoil arising go back to acceptance.

See how deeply you can accept.

See how deeply you can embrace what is.

See how deeply you can give others the space they need for learning and growth.

Allow acceptance to lead the way today.

Give yourself and give others this great gift.

I accept.
I accept.
I accept.

I accept that you are learning.
I accept that you are growing.
I accept that you have a story.
I accept that there are reasons that you behave the way that you do.
I accept you deeply.
I accept you completely.
I accept you fully.

I accept that you also have a place of greatness that lies within.

I accept that you have strengths.

I accept that everyone has strengths and
I accept that everyone has weaknesses.

My acceptance leads to calm.
My acceptance leads to clarily.

I ask: Given what is what am I to do?

I sit in acceptance now and
I listen deeply.

I accept.
I accept.
I accept.

When in doubt move into a deeper acceptance. Know that this acceptance will lead you to the peace and clarity that you desire.

And there you have it. I little something you can read (repeatedly if need be!) to assist you in finding deeper acceptance. Don’t even worry about what to do in your particular situation yet. Just let yourself focus for a while on the acceptance piece. When the acceptance is found a natural knowing about how to proceed will eventually arise.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Opening to a new chapter

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Tong Ren Chakra Balancing Tuesday, where each week I will share with you a TRCB healing video. This week we are focusing on opening to a new chapter.

It’s September and here in Amherst, MA (a college town with 5 colleges in the vicinity) September is the start of a new cycle and a new year. In celebration of this new cycle I thought we could focus on really welcoming in the new chapter and getting our mind set in an optimal place for making the best of the new energy that is coming in.

Be sure to watch this weeks video if you would like to invite more newness into your life and really open to the new chapter that is beginning for all of us.

This weeks affirmations are:

Crown: I am open to newness. I am open to new opportunities. i am open to a new chapter.

Third eye: I am filled with certainty.

Throat: I enter the new chapter with confidence.

Heart: I am love and love is all around me.

Solar Plexus: I welcome new opportunities. I welcome a new chapter. I welcome all of life.

Identity: I am infinitely creative.

Base: I am disciplined.

And there you have it, your seven TRCB affirmations for the week. Work with these affirmations during the week. If there is one affirmation that particularly speaks to you, make it your affirmation for the day or the affirmation for the week.

Feel free to let me know how the video and the affirmations impact you.

Embracing Your Unlimited Nature

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to TRCB (Tong Ren Chakra Balancing) Tuesday where each week I will share with you a healing video to further assist us all in balancing our chakras and bringing our best self forward in everyday life.

In this weeks video we will explore opening to our unlimited nature while also honoring our human limitations. It will be an opportunity for us all to expand our idea of what is possible while also acknowledging our inherent limitations of time, energy, and money. The irony is that when you connect with your unlimited nature and see yourself as unlimited while simultaneously embracing your limitations what you are capable of actually expands.

This weeks affirmations are as follows:

Crown: I am open and expanded. I expand my idea of what is possible. When I expand my idea of what is possible, I help to bring it in.

Third eye: I am filled with unlimited wisdom.

Throat: I am filled with unlimited power.

Heart: I am filled with unlimited love.

Solar Plexus: I am filled with unlimited acceptance.

Identity: I am filled with unlimited creativity.

Base: I am filled with unlimited humility. I honor my human limitations of time, energy, and money.

Take a moment now to feel your unlimited nature while simultaneously honoring and valuing your human limitations of time, energy and money. In this way you will come into a deeper balance and alignment, where you both acknowledge and honor your human limitations while also remembering your true unlimited nature.

Be sure to watch the video to experience this integration directly for yourself!

We have many videos now on the blog and on my youtube channel. I recommend watching one video daily in order to assist in balancing your chakras and helping you to bring your best self forward in everyday life.

Also be sure to “like” us on facebook if you would like to receive daily words of inspiration to further assist in this process.

Have a great week and see you again next Tuesday!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Opening to receive love

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,

And welcome once again to TRCB (Tong Ren Chakra Balancing) Tuesday. This week we will be exploring how to balance the chakras in order to receive more love. (We’ve spent the last couple of weeks cultivating greater love and compassion, thought we should focus on receiving this week!).

There is a sea of love all around us and when we learn to open to this sea of love we have greater access to it and can benefit from the love and healing energy that is all around us.

My meditation teacher, Ellen Tadd, says that consciousness is the light switch. What this means is, that when we become aware of something (like the sea of love that is all around us), our very awareness acts as a light switch, turning on that which we are focusing on. So just by focuing on the love that is all around us we can activate powerful forces that help us to feel and experience more love in our daily lives.

And so be sure to watch the video so you can experience this sea of love directly for yourself.

And for those of you who would like a copy of some of the chakra balancing affirmations from the video, here they are:

Crown: I am open to the light. I am open to love.

Third eye: I see with the eyes of wisdom and compassion.

Throat: I am spirit. I am good. And, I am learning.

Heart: I am open to receive love.

Solar Plexus: I welcome love into my life.

Identity: I am filled with wholeness and open to love.

Base: I am filled with humility. I am enough as I am.

And there you have it. Your seven chakra balancing affirmations for the week. You may want to work with all seven at once or simply pick one a day to be your affirmation for the day.

Slowly as we both repeat and embody these principles we retrain our body and mind so that we can hold these attitudes more and more. Working with affirmations is alot like weight lifting. We get stronger and more able to hold the principles over time.

Also, watching the videos is extremely helpful in this process. I recommend watching one TRCB video per day in order to balance your chakras daily and retrain your body and mind for a more expanded awareness. (something we are all working on!).

Have a great week and may the force be with you!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Cultivating Greater Compassion with TRCB

Posted on by

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to TRCB Tuesday where each week I will share a healing video for the purpose of balancing the chakras and assisting each one of us in bringing our best self forward more and more.

This weeks healing video is about 10 minutes long and will focus on using TRCB to cultivate greater compassion. Its a powerful video that will greatly enhance your ability to hold compassion as you venture out into the world.

On the subject of compassion, I will say that yesterday I was out in town and someone left a note on a bulletin board that said something to the effect of: “There is no greater challenge to our spiritual life then learning to cultivate compassion for the stupidity of others (their wording, not mine!) Conveniently, we are given many opportunities to practice through out the day.”

And while this was worded a bit strongly, I still had to stop and reflect and even chuckle a bit to myself. Yes, we certainly are given many opportunities to practice compassion through out the day.

And so for today let this be your practice. Practice responding with compassion to those that you encounter today, knowing that everyone is learning and everyone is growing and that part of why we are here is to learn to bring greater compassion to ourselves and to others .

This weeks chakra balancing affirmations to assist in this process are:

Crown: I am open to the light.

Third eye: I understand.

Throat: I am learning and growing. We are all learning and growing.

Heart: I am filled with compassion for all of life.

Solar Plexus: I accept that everyone is learning and growing.

Identity: I know who I am and I know why I am here.

Base: I am disciplined.

Work with these seven affirmations this week and see how much compassion you can bring to your daily life. Remember that sometimes it is compassionate to walk away from a situation and sometimes it is compassionate to get closer. Regardless of what actions you take you can always hold compassion in your heart and hold the awareness that everyone is learning and everyone is growing.

Have a great week and enjoy the video!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Letting go of anger with TRCB

Posted on by

Welcome back to TRCB Tuesday where each week we will explore another chakra balancing treatment. This weeks video is on using TRCB to release old anger and hurt. It is a very useful video and I myself have watched it many times to help me release anything that I might still be holding on to.

I highly recommend setting aside 20 minutes to watch this video and allow it to assist you in releasing old hurts and anger so you can step into the best version of who you are.

Here are this weeks TRCB affirmations.

Crown: I let go and I trust the process of life.

Third eye: I let go and I step into my wisdom.

Throat: I let go and I step into my power.

Heart: I let go and I step into my love.

Solar Plexus: I let go and I step into my acceptance.

Identity: I let go and I step into my wholeness.

Base: I let go and I step into my full discipline.

Work with these affirmations this week. You may want to chose one affirmation and make it your affirmation for the day, working with it frequently as you go through your day to release anything that you need to let go of and to assist you in stepping into your best self.

Enjoy your week and enjoy the video.

Finding Deeper Self Acceptance with TRCB

Posted on by

Welcome to Tong Ren Chakra Balancing Tuesday. Today’s video features a TRCB treatment for finding deeper self acceptance. Watch it any time deeper acceptance is desired and allow the tapping and the affirmations to release any blockages and naturally assist you in embracing and welcoming all aspects of ones self.

Today’s affirmations are:

Crown: I am filled with greatness.

We each have a place of great divinity and light that lies within. Part of self acceptance is accepting our greatness.

Third eye: I look honestly at myself.

Learn to look honestly at yourself so that you may see and acknowledge both your strengths and your weaknesses. It is by looking honestly that we can begin to heal.

Throat: I am spirit. I am learning. I am good.

We are all learning and we are all growing. Our behaviour is evolving and yet at the same time we are spirit and we are filled with divinity. Learn to see yourself as essentially good and learning.

Heart: I am filled with deep compassion for myself.

We are all in this soup of life together. In the words of Plato, “Have compassion for everyone is having a hard life.”

Solar Plexus: I accept myself completely. I accept that I have strengths. I accept that I have weaknesses. I accept that I am learning and growing.

We can’t heal what we don’t acknowledge. As we accept our weaknesses they begin to heal. As we accept our strengths we can begin to actualize more of our full potential.

Identity: I am filled with wholeness.

There is a place of great wholeness that lies within, a place of great light, great love, great strength and sensitivity. There is a place within your that was never wounded and is untouched by anything that has transpired in this lifetime or other lifetimes.

Base: I am filled with humility. I am enough as I am.

We are human and learning as well as spirit and filled with divinity. Know that you are enough as you are. Embrace your humility today.

For today practice embracing both your strengths and your weaknesses. As you accept your weaknesses you allow your weaknesses to heal. As you accept your strengths you will bring your strengths forward more and more.

And so for today, accept it all. Accept that you are human and learning and growing and accept that you have a place of great light and divinity that lies within As you accept more of yourself you will bring the best within you forward while simultaneously embracing the learning process in which all are involved.
