Addicted to Clutter? Retreat and reset your normal
A retreat away from your normal environment can help you reset what feels normal. According to Denver Post Clutter can be caused by many different influences. For me I grew up in an environment where stress, chaos, and clutter felt normal. Here are the new habits that I found that helped me reset my normal feeling of clutter to organized and relaxed.
Follow these three tips to shift your life from clutter and chaos to inner peace and happiness.
1. Clutter comes from a habit of self sabotage and a feeling of holding on. Practice Yoga at least three times per week. Yoga is a great way to expand your mind, body, and spirit. Yoga creates inner strength to break free from patterns and habits; creating a calm clear mind.
2. Meditation has been proven to shift your mind and create new thought patterns. Most of our retreat guests have a challenge slowing their mind down from the hectic pace of their life. The best way to slow the mind down is to practice breath awareness. As you observe your breath, just watch your thoughts. Become the witness and slowly you will notice your thoughts becoming more peaceful. One of the most powerful and popular meditations that we teach is the "inner smile" meditation. Find a peaceful place in nature or in your home. Play some relaxing music and hold the intention to let go. As you smile and send the love that you give so freely to others to yourself you will feel a beautiful glow growing inside. The "inner smile" has been proven to change your brain chemistry. As you clear away the cobwebs of "inner judgement", "inner anger" and "inner criticism" you will find it easier to change your outer environment.
3. Include something in your day that you love. If you can, take a walk in nature and allow yourself to slow down and welcome peace into your life. If you love dancing this is a great way to release stress. Listen to your inner urges they will guide you to peace.
Retreat and Heal is a small boutique retreat specializing in personalized retreats that cater to you and your needs. Fall is a beautiful time to pamper yourself and declutter your life. Gift yourself a retreat to reset your normal to inner peace and happiness; you deserve to live your life in love.

EFT for Health and Healing
1. How does EFT work to release emotions and pain? EFT also known as Emotional Freedom Technique is performed by tapping on energy meridians that traverse the body. The tapping acts to move and rid the body of uncompleted emotional energy that become major contributors to dis-ease.
2. What symptoms can you use EFT to release? EFT has been used to release energy and symptoms associated with low back pain, headaches, and even more chronic dis-ease. It can be learned and applied for self treatment or you can receive a treatment from a practitioner. Both can be equally effective. EFT can also be applied to rid the mind of subconscious patterns and belief systems that create habits and addictions.
4. How often do you need to apply EFT to be effective? This will vary. Sometimes you will get immediate relief of symptoms. Other times you will remove one layer and then need to apply again within the same day or the next day and remove a deeper layer of emotions to go deeper to the core issue.
5. EFT has been used to quit smoking, release weight, stop sugar cravings and most cravings and urges, including serious addictions. It can be a key to unlock the hidden emotions that cause chronic depression and other nervous disorders including anxiety and panic attacks. It has been called the emotional energy cleanser and also the "miracle worker".
The most wonderful news is that you can learn this amazing self-help tool and apply it daily to release stress and bring your body back to health no matter what your symptoms.
Want to find out more information about EFT? My book Love's Secret Live Your Life In Love shares stories at the end of each chapter and includes EFT techniques to empower you to release your self-sabotaging habits.
Our Sedona retreats include EFT, Reiki, and other powerful healing tools to get to the root of dis-ease. Let us design a retreat especially for you designed to fit your needs and budget. Take a look at our video retreat testimonial

Live Your Dream~Retreat and find your spark
Is there a dream hidden in your heart that wants to be expressed? Use these secrets to stop pushing your dream away; and express your divine spark of imagination. Retreat from your busy everyday life to empower your dreams with tools for creation.
Fear blocks the expression of your dream that lies deep inside your heart. Our retreat guests share that fear is their biggest block to manifesting their dreams. Fear takes many forms including fear of losing what is now accepted as being comfortable because it is known. The acronym for fear is False Expectations Appearing Real. What we expect whether it is known expectations or hidden in the subconscious mind, always determines what we see in our lives.
Retreat advances you toward your dreams. Confront old beliefs and patterns started in your childhood and replace them with new choices and habits that support who you want to be, and what you want in life. Follow these two tips to empower you dream.
* Each time you feel uncomfortable, take time to look within. Look fear in the face and take you power back. As a child fear was used to control you by your parents, teachers, family and friends. You have the power to say good-bye to fear and stop the habit of controlling yourself with fear. Anchor in the feeling of being safe to change and become the new You. In your mind hold a vision of you living your dream with people supporting, and nurturing you.
* Each day advance toward your dream by building goals and action steps. If you have no map or vision then you'll never know when you arrive. Each day you have a choice to keep doing what you have done and getting the same results or go through growing pains and create what you want.
Retreat and Heal empowers you to advance toward your dream and build a foundation for success and abundance. EFT and Hypnotherapy help you look at core beliefs that keep you from living your dream. Here is a recent testimonial from our retreat guest.
"I wanted to thank you again for the extraordinary retreat. I've been on a path of Personal and Spiritual Growth for more that 6 years now and I received more value in a few short hours than I've gotten in years of growth. The accommodations were fantastic and the healing sessions were just what I needed. You and Jerry continued to over deliver and I greatly appreciate that. I will absolutely return and share this experience with my family, friends, and colleagues. Thanks again, Manny Goldman, Founder and CEO Real Growth Worldwide, Author The Power of Personal Growth
We hope that you will remember us when you are ready to Retreat and advance toward your dreams.

Retreat and Advance To Inner Peace
Retreat in the moment and connect to inner peace. Is inner peace harder to find with anxiety and stress feeling normal throughout your days and evenings? Learn to anchor in peace at a moment's notice.
Create a word, phrase or picture and train yourself to anchor peace into your body and mind no matter where you are or what you are doing. Press pause and stop feelings of being fragile, unstable and insecure. Choose to be happy by controlling your thoughts, and your emotions. If you have a pattern of reacting to life with fear, frustration, or irritation; that habit will continue until you replace it with a new habit. See a picture and connect it to a feeling and when you visualize the picture; it is a great way to train your mind and body to react differently. Follow these tips and anchor in peace throughout your day.
Start your day with 15 minutes of stillness in nature either in your mind or if possible physically. There is never a better time to begin than now.
* Stay present through out your day, recognize; acknowledge your emotional warning signals. Practice conscious breathing throughout your day and check in with your body. Most people are detached from their body and travel through their day on auto-pilot.
*Use your breath to keep yourself present and stop what you are doing in the moment. Your breath can stop your automatic stress response and stop your automatic response to your addicted emotional cycle.
* Breathe away negativity. Your breath is another anchoring tool to change your addicted emotions, and habits. You can choose to release the internal sensation of anxiety and overwhelm from your body. Your breathing facilitates the release of negative energy and keeps you focused on love, success, and inner peace.
Our years of experience teaching and facilitating personal healing and empowerment make us your complete healing destination. A spiritual retreat with us offers a safe place to meditate, and change your old beliefs and patterns with Reiki, healing massage, time in nature at the healing vortex sites, EFT and Hypnotherapy.

Reward Yourself with Scheduled Breaks to Release Your Stress
Say no to stress and overwhelm. When you are tired learn to walk away and take a break. This can be as little as 15 minutes, or as much a full week. When you are stressed you are not able to be productive. Take a break, when you return to the project refreshed you bring renewed energy, a refreshed mind, and more successful results.
Develop the habit of deep breathing. Shallow breathing is a habit learned as a child. Shallow breathing is responsible for many diseases and stress related illness. Post signs in your office, in your car, at home, and remind your self to breath deeply.
Develop the habit of a quiet peaceful mind. A peaceful mind has more ability to focus and release stress. Meditation is a good tool to create a more peaceful mind and up-lifting endorphins.
Smile and create the habit of happiness. Happiness is a choice. Most were not conditioned to be happy. It takes commitment, dedication, determination and an ability to embrace change in order to create a happy life.
Create a Plan and follow it. Create a plan for what you want in your life. Do one thing every day that supports your plan. Acknowledge your achievements’ and your accomplishments toward your plan.
Schedule Rewards with short breaks. Your breaks and time away need not be elaborate. They can be as small as scheduling in a long soak in your bath tub or a long weekend at a retreat center that you love. Schedule in short breaks and rewards often for your small and large accomplishments. Our Sedona retreats empower you to create a healthy, happy, and successful life .

Need Inner Peace~Retreat In the Moment
Create a refuge in your mind and experience inner peace in a moment's notice. With the stress of the economy causing more and more anxiety, tension, and stress; stress management is a valuable tool. Here are some quick tools to keep you centered no matter what is going on around you.
1. Decide on a symbol or picture that creates inner peace for you. When I want to feel peace, I visualize a place in nature that I love. When I visualize this place I also hold the feeling of peace. Each time I visit my "peaceful place" and hold the feeling of peace, I deepen my ability to feel "inner peace".
2. Each time you notice yourself feeling stress or fearing or worrying. Hit the delete button and visit your peaceful place. With each visit in the moment you will experience more and deeper "inner peace".
3. Fear and worry deplete your energy and create stress hormones that create disease. With consistent practice you can change your "stress habits" to a "peace habit". Once you can see your peaceful place, and feel "inner peace" add the feeling of gratitude for having this beautiful and peaceful place. As you hold the feeling of peace, say an anchor phrase (I choose to feel peace now), see your peaceful place, and hold the feeling of gratitude. Take five long deep breaths. Feel all the cells, and atoms of your body bathed in love and light.
Leave me a message and let me know how this works for you. Also leave me a message with your most challenging stress and I will leave you tools to release your stress.
Retreat and Heal offers Personal Healing Retreats for healing body, mind and spirit. Below Kim and Preston share their experience from her retreat. You can see that they reconnected with inner peace and gained an ability to calm their mind and emotions. We would love to share the healing energy of Sedona with you. Sedona is a beautiful place to retreat and heal.

Love, Money and Success Blocked? Retreat to Remove Your Walls
Retreat and advance through your walls. When you find yourself hitting a wall in your life how do you respond? Do you break the wall down? Do you go through the wall? Do you walk around the wall? Or do you avoid the pain that built the wall and surround the wall with more mortar in an effort to make it stronger?
Walls no longer serve your path. Instead they create a reaction to life from fight or flight which floods your body with toxic chemicals. Break through your walls blocking your path to love, money, and success. Here are some tips to change your response from fear and worry to acceptance and freedom.
~ The first step is recognizing when you are hitting a wall or set point. When you feel yourself wanting to react with fight or flight take a deep breath and notice what you are feeling. Acknowledge the wall and appreciate that the wall was put there to protect you.
~Give the wall a color, shape, and notice the size of the wall. Imagine surrounding the wall with love. Next ask yourself what you could replace the wall with and still feel safe to advance forward in your life.
~Light a candle and take some time to sit and breath. Imagine your life free from walls and self imposed limits (set points). Imagine moving to a new level with love, money, and success. Feel what it feels like to feel successful, loved and fully express your talents and abilities and have unlimited abundance in your life. Now connect that feeling to gratitude.
Retreat and Heal offers retreats with EFT, Hypnotherapy, massage, Vortex Experiences, and more. Let us be your spiritual guide to Sedona.

Energy Medicine, EFT, Feng Shui, Reiki through Spiritual Retreat
Energy Medicine was announced by Dr Oz on Oprah as the medicine of the future. Today I want to talk about EFT, Feng Shui, and Reiki and how they can enhance your health.
First let's discuss Feng Shui. Feng Shui is the energy medicine of your environment. If the energy is balanced and harmonius it builds health in your body. If it is out of balance it drains your body of health and energy. The first rule of Feng Shui is clear clutter and make sure that everything in your environment is something that speaks of harmony and balance. My favorite book on Feng Shui is Feng Shui for Dummies. Take a look at it and let
me know what you think.
Tomorrow I will talk about Reiki and EFT and give you some tips. Meanwhile leave me you questions of Feng Shui and Energy Medicine.

Meditation, EFT, Spiritual Healing, and Inner Peace
1. Determine the best way to clear your mind. There are many effective tools to meditate and create a clear mind. The most effective meditation, is one that is practiced on a daily basis. My favorite technique is to practice yoga for fifteen minutes then sit and follow my breath. Alternate nostril breathing is very effective in balancing the right and left hemisphere of the brain and deepens the feeling of relaxation.
2. Practicing Reiki self healing has been a favorite practice to quiten my mind and bring my body, mind, and spirit back to balance for the past twenty five years. Reiki is a self healing technique that can be learned and practiced by anyone who is open and willing. We offer Reiki attunements and training in our day packages, and retreats.
3. Choose a mantra and repeat it in order to stop fearful thoughts. One of the first mantras that I practiced was a focus word to stop thoughts that were automatic and destructive. This word was cancel-cancel. Then I would replace the word with a simple word like trust.
Spritual Healing is needed by everyone right now to stop the fear that has enveloped our world. By collectively focusing our thoughts on what we want we can create inner peace. See the world at peace and do your part to create inner peace through practicing meditation.

Sedona Retreats, the law of attraction and money creation
Our Sedona Retreats help you master the law of attraction for the creation of money and financial opportunities. Money and wealth are a result of our relationship with money in our childhood. This post is a reply to a comment from a couple of our readers. Take another look at your beliefs regarding money. If you have "money worries" you need to clean your money belief closet! Check the beliefs below and find your inner belief that is causing a block in your flow.
I have to work hard to get money
I always need more money
Easy come easy go
I can’t afford this
I don’t have the money for what I want right now
People who have money have done something bad, to get it
Money is evil money is bad, it corrupts people
Money will never make you happy anyway
Money isn’t worth having unless you have to work hard to get it
Money comes and goes
There has to be a lot of effort to get it
It’s noble to suffer to get money
If you struggle to get money it will stay longer
Money is always taken from me
It is better to give than to receive
I love giving more than receiving
Which of these beliefs restricts your flow with money? Do you fear having money and then losing it? Do you feel that other people have a good relationship with money, and that you will never have that relationship? Who portrays your relationship with money? Getting clear with your feelings around money allows you to heal your relationship with money.
Join our FOCUS call tomorrow and every Monday at 9 am mountain standard time. Learn EFT, visualizations, and actions steps to create the financial abundance that you want and deserve. Leave me a comment and let me what is blocking your flow, and join our call to master the Law of Attraction.

Spiritual Retreat for Inner Peace, Life Purpose, and Spiritual Awakening
Join our weekly meditation group on line. Each Monday we offer a no charge weekly meditation group offering focused visualization, eft, and tools to align with your life purpose. Here are tips to take action today to create the life, work, and relationship that you want.
Take our free Life Mastery test and determine where you are. Last week I blogged about the GAP Gratitude, Accountability, and Positive expectancy. How did that work for you? GAP, is the opposite actions and reactions that our beliefs and conditioning have created. In order to move beyond our beliefs, we must become comfortable with changing our beliefs, and leaving our story behind. To become comfortable with change, it helps to have support around you, and friends that are going through the same growth and change you are experiencing.
For today take action to stay present and decide to smile and be happy. Happiness is a choice and you may not have been conditioned to be happy. Hold an inner smile throughout your day. An inner smile feeds your cells with sunshine and activates the healing genie in your cells. Monitor you emotions and press pause, if you have thoughts or emotions that dampen your feelings of happiness.
We would love to be your spiritual guide to Sedona or attend our group retreat in Warner Springs, Ca. Our passion is assisting our friends and guests to find their purpose and live their passion. We hope to have you as a guest to our retreats or our weekly call. Our weekly call is 9 am mountain standard time, enjoy our group meditation, focus on your vision with like minded freinds, and master the law of attraction.

Today's law of attraction teleseminar assisted our guests to release old thoughts, and beliefs that had held them back from success in relationships, life and business.
Here is what one of our guests had to say about our teleseminar.
Annie,
Thank you so, so, so much for the teleseminar today. When I entered the teleseminar I was feeling anxious and stuck in my old patterns. I wasn't sure if EFT would be as effective for me over the phone as it was when in person at Retreat and Heal. However, I'm very happy to let you know that by the end of the call this morning I felft so much better. I felt a load lifted from my shoulders. Thank you so much.
CiarraLos Angeles, CA
Todays tip to activate your inner GPS is to hold a feeling of deep acceptance. Feel all your feelings. No matter what you are feeling, decide to lighten up on yourself, and accept what you feel. Happiness is a choice, so decide to have fun feeling.
Let me know how this works for you. And check out our Warner Springs Retreat. Soak in mineral waters, experience meditations, all at a hot springs spa. Laugh, play, and transform your life as you master the law of attraction.
