Hello Everyone,

I wrote a short guided meditation this week and then realized it was a nice meditation to share for Valentines Day.

I have found it to be a really helpful meditation for healing relationships and connecting with the love that exists beneath the surface regardless of external appearances.

Hope that it is healing for you as well.

We are unified by love.

We are spirit.
We are one.
We are unified by love.

Take a moment now and feel the vibration of the words. Feel the energy. Repeat this affirmation to yourself and allow the words to shift your energy. How does it feel to remember that we are one and that we are unified by love?

Bring to mind now, someone that you easily feel love for. Remember that you are both spirit, that you are one and unified by love.

Affirm:

We are spirit.
We are one.
We are unified by love.

Feel this deeply in your being. How does this rememberance impact your relationship?

Now, this time bring to mind a relationship that challenges you, where perhaps you have forgotten that you are both spirit and unified by love.

Affirm:

We are spirit.
We are one.
We are unified by love.

Feel the force of love running between you and others despite appearances to the contrary. Remember who you are. Remember who they are. You are spirit. They are spirit. You are one and unified by love.

Allow the rememberance of who you are to act as a healing force in this relationship. What shifts as you remember who you are and that you are unified in love? How does this change your feelings and your actions?

Allow this affirmation to act as a healing agent in your relationships. Allow the simple rememberance of who you are and that love unifies to sooth your soul and shift your energetic frequency around your relationships.

Remember who you. Remember why you have come.
You have come to love, to share, to grow, to learn, to serve.

Remember who you are and seek to bring as much love to the world as you can.

Do not confuse this with tolerating poor behavior. You can still decide to leave a relationship, but you can leave knowing that at your core you are unified by love.

Affirm:

I am spirit.
You are spirit.

We are one.
We are unified by love.

Feel your unity, you love, your connection with all of life. Remember who you are and why you are here. You are here to share love.

Share your love now. Allow your heart to be open and to feel the inherent love that is all around you.

I am spirit.
You are spirit.

We are one.
We are unified by love.

Feel your love now and allow the rememberance of who you are and why you are here to be a healing agent in all of your relationships.

We are spirit.
We are one.
We are unified by love.

Remember. Remember. Remember who you are and why you are here. See the force of love running between you and all of your relationships despite appearances to the contrary. Allow this to shift and change the energetic frequencies between you and others. Be aware of how this impacts all of your relationships.

~Happy Valentines Day~

Hello Everyone,

Just this week I was talking to a friend about a situation I was struggling with. This very well meaning friend had a strong opinion about what I needed to do…asap!

And though my friend was well meaning I realized after some reflection that I didn’t agree with her opinion. But because of the strength of her opinion, and my own insecurity about the situation I was facing, it took some work on my part to get beyond the opinions and hear my own inner voice.

I spent much of the week meditating on the situation and received the following message in one of those meditations. I thought that I’d share it here with all of you, in case you too need some assistance getting past all the opinions that are out there, and connecting instead with your own inner wisdom and knowing.

Learning to stand in your own convictions.

Opinions are everywhere. Everyone’s got an opinion, they are a dime a dozen.

There will be voices all around you that seek to distract you. There will be voices all around you that mean well but are incorrect. There will be people who are sure that they are right about what you must do, but who are wrong. And there will those who speak timidly and whose depth of opinion is accurate but who lack the inner conviction to make their words heard.

In the end you must go deep within and listen to your own inner promptings. You must go deep within and do what you think is best.

And so go deep within and desire to seek your own counsel.

You have become too dependent on the opinion of others.

Go within and do what your spirit guides you to do. Let others share their opinions, but in the end you must be your own authority.

Everyone thinks they know what it is best. Everyone has an opinion. But opinions are easy. You are the one who must live with the consequences of your actions. You are the one who must live with the decisions that you make. It’s easy to have an opinion when it’s not your life. Its easy to have an opinion when its not you who has to live with the consequences of that opinion.

So go deep within now and listen deeply within so that you will know what is yours to do and what is not yours to do.

There are so many opinions and if you are overly affected by the opinions of others you will not be able to do what is yours to do. There will always be those who dislike your work. There will always be those who look with a critical eye or have nothing constructive to say. There will always be those who mean well but still shout out their bad advice despite their best intentions.

Go deep within now. Listen to your own inner voice. Listen to your own guides. Listen to the whispers of spirit all around you. All of life is guiding you.

Stand in your own convictions now.

Affirm:

I stand in my convictions.
I stand in my convictions.
I stand in my convictions.

See what it feels like to stand in your convictions. Feel the strength. Feel the confidence. Feel the clarity.

Stand in your convictions and allow your life to unfold.

Do not allow yourself to be unduly influenced by the opinions of others. Instead seek your own counsel. This is the lesson being set before you.

Become a more independent thinker.

Affirm:

I seek my own counsel.
I seek my own counsel.
I seek my own counsel.

In the end it is you that will have to live with the consequences of your decisions and so it is you that must decide how to be.

Do not give your power away to others.

Claim your power now.

Stand up.
Stand up.
Stand up.

Have the courage to stand in your convictions even if all those around you disapprove.

Stand in your convictions and remain open to the learning process knowing that your thoughts, feelings and beliefs will evolve and grow.

Stand in your conviction now and go forward with an attitude of openness and deep listening, attuning as best you can to the moment.

If you are in conviction alone, you will become too rigid.

If you are just in openness you will be a leaf in the wind.

And so combine the two now, stand in your convictions and maintain the openness needed to learn, grow, and evolve.

You can always find someone to support your belief and you can always find someone to tell you, you are wrong.

Listen deeply instead. Keep your own counsel. Stand in your convictions and maintain an openness so that continued growth and learning can occur.

Seek to be as open as you can and as full of conviction as you can.

Do not be afraid to be open and do not be afraid to stand in your conviction. Both are needed for a life of balance.

Affirm:

I am open.
I am open.
I am open.

I am open to learning.
I am open to growing.
I am open to evolving my current state of mind.

I am open.
I am open.
I am open.

And affirm:

I stand in my conviction.
I stand in my conviction.
I stand in my conviction.

I hold my point of view.
I express my opinions.
I say what is mine to say.
I stand my ground.

Affirm:

I am balanced.

I am both open and I stand in my convictions.

I am open to the thoughts and opinions of others but in the end I seek my own counsel.

I am not overly affected by the opinions of others.

I listen deeply to my own inner wisdom.

I am an independent thinker.

I am learning to listen within.

I am learning to listen to my guides.

I am learning to listen to the spiritual forces that are all around me.

I am learning to listen to myself and my deepest knowing.

Practice now going within, listening deeply, and following your own inner guidance. In this way you will learn how to seek your own counsel and how to stand in your own convictions, while simultaneously remaining open to growth, learning, and the evolutionary process of life.

Hello Everyone,

Just last week a friend asked me for a favor. I was sort of in a rush at the time and not as tuned in to the moment as I might like to have been. I said yes to the favor despite the fact I really didn’t have time. ( I have a tendency to say yes sometimes before really thinking it through). Well, I won’t go into the details but my saying “yes” to this favor didn’t go so well. Let’s just say my car broke down on the way home which felt like spirit reminding me that I need to listen more deeply.

Anyway, upon finally returning home I sat and meditated and heard a message on listening deeper, saying no and seeking to serve the oneness rather than the individual.

I assume the message could help more than just myself so I thought I’d share it with all of you. I hope it helps you to feel more comfortable saying yes and saying no and assists all of us in listening more deeply to the attunement of the moment.

I’m not here to serve the individual. I am here to serve the oneness.

Its important when going through your every day life that you are clear about why you are here. You are not here to serve the individual. You are here to serve the oneness.

Many have needs. Many may think they know what you owe them or need to give to them.

If you respond to what others think they want from you, you will become drained and frustrated and resentful.

Instead, you must train yourself to listen more deeply, to listen to the words beneath the words and to listen at the spirit level.

At the spirit level, you are not concerned about pleasing the personality, at the spirit level you are concerned with doing what is truly best for all concerned.

The problem happens when you doubt yourself. You so want to be of service that you mistakenly focus on giving others what they want rather than listening deeply to your own inner knowing and having the confidence to do what you believe to be best.

You must develop greater self-confidence so that you can begin the process of saying no more often, so that you can begin the process of really listening deeply and following your own inner knowing and your own inner spirit.

Do not be so concerned about making mistakes.

Give yourself permission to truly listen within and do that which you believe is yours to do. As you practice in this way you will get better at knowing what is yours to do and what is not yours to do.

Everyone needs and if you are constantly responding to the needs of others you will not do the one thing that you came here to do.

Living in this way will mean that you will need to say no more than you are currently comfortable with, but you will grow in your ability to know what is yours to do and what is not. And so practice now going within and really listening to your own inner knowing.

Do not allow the forcefulness of others to pull you from your own inner knowing. Others may think that you owe them, or that they know what is best. But truly, only you know what is best.

And so once again, go within and learn to listen to your own inner knowing. Be more fierce about what you allow into your sphere of life. Do not allow others to push their way in or bully you into submission or to simply make you feel guilty for not meeting their needs.

No, you must be stronger. You must step into your power in a greater way.

Do not be afraid of your power or of your strength. And it’s okay to make a mistake. What is most important is that you commit on a deeper and deeper level to following the attunement of the moment.

What is most important is that you make listening to your own inner knowing a top priority. Do not think that others know better than you, for they do not.

You must practice listening within on a deeper level. You must practice saying no and not feeling guilty. You must practice having the fierceness and power to allow others to find their own way and not think that you must save them.

In your effort to save others you may drop your own pillar of light and not do the one thing that you came to do. And so commit now to listening deeply. Commit now to going within and asking your spirit what it wants. Commit now to not being bullied by the demands and needs of others. Commit to a deeper listening and a deeper commitment to spirit.

This will, in the long run, strengthen your relationships because it will reduce the resentment that you feel. And so commit to listening to spirit now. Commit to following your own inner attunement as best as you can. Commit to listening deeply and doing what is truly best at the spirit level.

At the spirit level it is sometimes best to say no, and let people find their own way. And at the spirit level it is sometimes best to say yes and lend a much needed helping hand. This will take deep listening to ascertain and is a practice.

And so begin your practice again, this time deeper. Commit to this deeper listening and you will grow in your ability to know what is yours to do and what is not. This deeper listening will be imperative if you are to carry out the tasks that are being set before you.

Listen deeply now and affirm:

I listen deeply.
I listen deeply.
I listen deeply.

I listen deeply to my own inner spirit.
I listen deeply to the whispers of spirit all around me.
I listen deeply to the words beneath the words.
I listen deeply and I know what to do.
I listen deeply and I am guided.
i listen deeply and I am wise.
I listen deeply and I do what is mine to do.
I listen deeply and I can say yes and I can say no.
I listen deeply and I do what is best for the oneness.
I listen deeply and I do not try to please the individual.
I listen deeply and I aspire to please spirit.
I listen deeply and I do what is truly best for all concerned.
I listen deeply for I know that at the spirit level there is consensus.
I listen deeply and I do what is attuned, even if it is unpleasing to others.
I listen deeply and do my best to do what is truly best for all concerned, whether it is appreciated or not.

I listen deeply and I step into my strength.
I listen deeply and I step into my confidence.
I listen deeply and I step into my knowing.
I listen deeply and I step into my wisdom.

I know that this is a process and so I am patient with myself as I learn and grow.

I listen deeply and I do what is best for all concerned.
I listen deeply and I seek to please spirit.
I listen deeply and I am devoted to the spiritual oneness.

I listen deeply.
I listen deeply.
I listen deeply.

Step into your maturity now.

Come to expect the unexpected.

Come to expect the imbalances both in yourself and in others.

When there is fear there will also be greed, selfishness, and lack of consideration.

Do not be so surprised by this, as if it shouldn’t be this way.

It is this way, and until the fears are resolved this will continue.

It is your job to learn to love despite the imbalances.

It is your job to learn to find compassion for the selfish behavior.

It is your job to be the best you can be.

It is not your job to take their inventory.

It is your job to take the high road and do your best to navigate in difficult seas.

Rise to the occasion now.

Rise up.

Rise up.

Use your challenges as an opportunity to practice.

Use your challenges to help you become stronger in the face of adversity.

Use your challenges as a vehicle to stepping into your greatness.

Step into your greatness.

Offer love in the face of greed.

Offer kindness in the face of selfishness.

Offer compassion in the face of inconsiderateness.

This is not to say that you should tolerate unacceptable behavior, but instead use it as an opportunity to bring out the best that lies within you.

When you respond with an internal feeling of love, compassion and kindness you reaction will be diminished.

When your reaction is diminished there will be greater clarity about how to best respond.

And so step into your greatness now.

Step into your compassion.

Step into your kindness and step into you love.

Do not wait for others to go first.

Do not expect others to be kind, or loving, or compassionate just because you did go first.

Instead seek to be the best you can be and do not worry about how others are behaving.

Again, you must take your own inventory and let others attend to themselves.

Your mission is to be the best that you can be.

Allow others to find their own mission.

Step up now and offer the best that lies with in you.

In the end you will be glad that you did.

(Spending time with family and friends will, of course, give you ample opportunity to practice these principles.)

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I hope that you are well and have been enjoying and benefiting from TRCB Tuesday. When I first started this project the plan was to record eight videos. I got so into it that instead I have recorded and shared 17 videos! That is 17 videos to inspire and assist all of us in bringing our best self forward more and more!

I’ve decided to take a break from TRCB Tuesday for a little while so that I can complete my second book (Balance Your Chakras, Change Your Life) and so that I can prepare to start offering live healing webinars in the late fall or early winter.

But this won’t be the last video. Instead I will send out a TRCB video on special occasions or simply when the mood hits! I may even send out a video on a Thursday or Friday (i’m really living life on the edge now!).

Anyway, I do hope that you have enjoyed the videos and I look forward to offering many new venues in which to learn more about the chakras and how to work with them so that we can all bring our best selves forward more and more.

Today’s healing video is a general chakra balancing that powerfully aligns and balances the chakras.

Welcome to TRCB Tuesday, where each week I will share with you a healing video for the purpose of releasing blockages in the chakra system. When the blockages are released all aspects of your being can come into greater alignment and you can more easily bring your best self forward more and more.

This week we are focusing on creating greater joy. (The nice thing about cultivating joy is that we can feel joy in our hearts regardless of what is going on externally.)

Take a moment now and go deep inside of yourself and fill yourself with a feeling of joy.

Fill yourself with joy by repeating the following affirmation:

I am filled with joy.
I am filled with joy.
I am filled with joy.

As you repeat this affirmation to yourself practice feeling it as well.

I am filled with joy.
I am filled with joy.
I am filled with joy.

Feel it, embody it and experience it now. Really allow yourself to be filled with a feeling of joy.

Practice radiating that joy out into the world by affirming:

I am filled with joy and I radiate my joy out into the world.
I am filled with joy and I radiate my joy out into the world.
I am filled with joy and I radiate my joy out into the world.

Feel the joy that lies within you. Connect with this joy and seek to bring it forward more and more.

We have infinite choices about the emotions that we choose to experience. Practice being more creative in the emotions that you choose to experience. Practice elevating both your thoughts and emotions this week and practice cultivating this new feeling regardless of what is going on externally. Be aware of how this affects the quality of your day.

Here are this weeks chakra balancing affirmations:

Crown: I am happy.

Third eye: I am a wise decision maker.

Throat: I am fully expressive.

Heart: I am filled with joy and I radiate my joy out into the world.

Solar Plexus: I welcome greater joy and happiness into my life.

Identity: I am creative and I am expressive.

Base: I am disciplined. I attend to my mind, body, and spirit everyday.

And there you have it. Your seven chakra balancing affirmations for the week. Work with them frequently, remembering to not only say them to yourself but really practice feeling the principles as well. As we begin to embody greater joy and happiness we will help bring more joy and happiness into our lives. In addition, focusing on joy and happiness helps to elevate our vibration and helps to heal our body as well. Let this be your focus for this week. See how much true joy you can cultivate.

Have a good week!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein

Hello everyone and welcome to TRCB Tuesday where each week I will share with you a new chakra balancing healing video. Watching the video will assist in releasing blockages in the chakra system. When the blockages are released we can heal physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and more easily bring forward the best that lies within us.

This week we are focusing on cultivating a greater positivity. When we are in a true positivity we are better able to hold the spiritual principles, principles such as: trust, wisdom, power, love, appreciation, balance, discipline and spontaneity. True positivity is different than candy coating for in a true positivity we are looking very honestly and deeply at our lives and yet still able to hold compassion and balance for what we see. This is an ongoing practice for many of us, but if we aspire to hold more positivity today than we did yesterday then little by little we will heal.

When we hold a true positivity we assist in elevating our vibration. When we elevate our vibration our body can heal and we can manifest more of our best selves. Also, when we hold a true positivity we emanate a more elevated frequency, which contributes to the healing of our planet as well. Little by little, as we each step into a more positive version of who we are we contribute both to our own healing and the healing of our planet.

Here are this weeks affirmations to assist all of us in this endeavor:

Crown: I am filled with positivity. I am a being of great positivity and light.

Third eye: I am filled with positivity. I look honestly at myself, others and all of life.

Throat: I am filled with positivity. I am a powerful being of light.

Heart: I am filled with positivity. I am a radiant being of light and love.

Solar plexus: I am filled with positivity. I deeply appreciate all that I have.

Identity: I am filled with positivity. I am emotionally balanced.

Base: I am filled with positivity. I am a being of great discipline.

And there you have it, your seven-chakra balancing affirmations for the week. Work with these affirmations this week and allow them to elevate your vibration and your point of view. Be sure to watch the video for a more powerful experience of positivity and chakra balancing as well.

Have a great week!

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelsetein

Hello and welcome back to TRCB Tuesday, where each week I will share a new chakra balancing treatment designed to help all of us actualize our full potential in every day life. This week we will be focusing on chakra balancing for the morning. In other words, we will be working with specific affirmations to help start our day off on the right foot. We will focus on principles such as devotion, clear priorities, confidence, love, appreciation, and discipline.

This weeks chakra balancing affirmations are:

Crown: I am devoted to spirit. I am devoted to service. 

When we are devoted to spirit we listen deeply to our own inner spirit and spirit all around us. In this way we will know what is ours to do and what is not ours to do.

Third eye: I know my clear priorities.

Knowing your clear priorities will help you to stay focused on your true priorities and help prevent you from putting attention where it does not belong.

Throat: I am confident.

Take a moment before you venture out today to connect with the confidence that lies at the core of your being. We all have a place of great confidence that lies within. Take a moment today to feel and reconnect with this confidence.

Solar Plexus: I am filled with appreciation.

Take a moment to feel deep appreciation now. Feel appreciative for all that you have. Feel appreciation in advance for all that is coming to you. Cultivate a state of deep appreciation today and seek to bring this state to all that you do. Remember that what you focus on grows. As you focus on that which you appreciate, you will find yourself having even more to appreciate.

Identity:   I am both sensitive and strong.

It takes great strength to navigate a life and great sensitivity too. Take a moment to feel the strength that lies within your spirit and take a moment to connect with your sensitivity as well.

Base: I am disciplined. I attend to my mind, body, and spirit everyday.

If we wish to live a life of actualization and bring our best self forward then we must attend to the basics of our lives. Take time today to exercise, to eat well, to get enough sleep. Take time to learn something new and to work on a creative project. Take time today to meditate or work on your chakras and take time to connect to your own inner spirit and to spirit all around you.

And there you have it. Your seven TRCB affirmations for the week. Start each day this week with these seven affirmations and see how they impact the quality of your day. Take time to devote yourself to spirit and to devote yourself to service. Take time to meditate on your clear priorities for the day. Take time to connect with the confidence of your spirit and the love that resides with in. Take time to feel and express appreciation for all that you have, knowing that what you focus on comes forward. Take time to feel the strength of your spirit and to connect with your sensitivity as well. And finally attend to the basics of mind, body and spirit knowing that good habits are essential for a life of actualization and contribution.

Have a great week.

Sincerely,

Hayley Mermelstein
