By doing this exercise at this time you can access seasonal energy of Autumn and the heightened spiritual energy of this time, you can let go and step forward into the life you are meant to be living now, gently, easily, lovingly and well supported. So, if you didn’t have time before, give yourself 15 minutes in the next 24 hours to play with this exercise.

1. Swish water around your mouth to wake up the brain then follow it with a normal mouthful of water to hydrate.

2. Headhold and breathe…place your hand across the forehead and the other hand across the back, base of the skull. This adds blood flow to the frontal lobe and the limbic system (Home of Emotions), and to the back brain…bringing you back into Present Time whilst calming you down. Headholding and breathing helps all quadrants of the brain to talk to each other giving you a Whole brain response.

3. Now BREATHE through your NOSE: In for 4, hold for 2, OUT for 4, hold for 2 and repeat 9 times. The 3^rd time you may feel more agitated/upset. The 6^th breath you may feel fine. On the 9^th breath you activate a deep relaxation response. Notice.

4. Now take a sheet of paper and write down the story about the guilty feelings you have. What was the bad thing you did or that someone did to you? It maybe something you have never told anyone, that you have felt ashamed or embarrassed about of all your life. Take the time to write everything you remember from this time and you feelings, and the times since that it has become a problem for you. Write it all down.

5. The rip it up.

6. Headhold and breathe, in for 4, hold for 2, out for 4, hold for 2. Repeat 9 times.

7. Imagine a celestial vacuum cleaner zooming around you cleaning out your emotional residue –wherever you feel heavy, sick, sad, angry in your body, let the vacuum cleaner clean it up. When it’s gone and you feel lighter DESTROY the vac. Send it to the sun, into a volcano, put it in a vat of acid. Nothing is to remain, it must be completely destroyed.

8. Shake out your arms.

9. Headhold and breathe, swish some water.

10. Imagine a bubble/ force field of energy around your body filled with smog, mud,sludge. Use the vacuum cleaner to clean it up. When you feel the bubble around your body is crystal clear and light, DESTROY the vacuum cleaner.

11. Shake out your arms.

12. Headhold and breathe, swish some water.

13. Now begin to imagine what life will be like in 6 months, a year, 2 years, 10 years into the future. How do you walk, talk, hold yourself at this time? What are you doing at this time that is evidence that your life has changed by letting guilt and grief go? Write it down, the brain loves detail, so write it all down. The scene, the sense you get (eg.calm, fulfilled, at peace..).

14. Notice where you feel it in your body, breathe into that space in your body. Remember what you focus on grows, so feel that sense growing. Give it a colour- the first that comes to mind. Imagine it, feel it filling that space.

15. Now, give yourself a BIG self hug. Tell yourself 1 thing you are proud of doing today or 1 wonderful quality you love about yourself. Breathe it in.Squeeze, like you REALLY mean it.

16. Your challenge if you choose to accept it is to do this exercise once a day for 7 days. Take advantage of the Autumn and the spiritual energy to clean out the old wounds to self heal and create the healthy, loving life you are seeking.

Be true to you always,
