The Present: November

"Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." - Oprah Winfrey

Hello, and welcome to The Present, the 2023 Flourish Integral Health newsletter. If you find what I am sharing about intentions, joy, and being true to yourself helpful, please join and share.

Intentions: As you turn the page into December, the intention in Flourish for the 12th month is to be reflective. The process can help you gain clarity, peace, and gratitude. Moreover, reflection can help you find more confidence and direction. At this time of year, it can prepare you for the next.

Inspiration: Some places I found inspiration this month include -

Reflective writing. Writing a personal growth book (currently titled Charming) in live storytelling time got me closer to the mind-body-spirit connection.

Reading. Llewellyn sent Everyday Reiki: A Self-Healing Routine for Mastering the Teachings and Practice of Reiki by Dawn McLaughlin for a Soulful Reads consideration. I’m enjoying beginning each day at my desk with one of the “Forty-Day Immersion Experience” self-healing exercises.

An intentional bracelet. I’m wearing a Solar Plexus Chakra bracelet (a custom commission). Seeing what life reflects concentrating on an energy center is insightful.

Books & Beads. I assembled a book & bracelet gift which led to wellness pairing ideas for the holidays.

Painting. Below is No. 11: Slide In!

Joy: A few of the suggestions in the book’s final chapter to cultivate joy include scheduling something on your bucket list, remembering to leave yourself alone, when you hear your discouraging voice, and to share what you have discovered that has changed your life. 

Holding space for your joy, your intentions, and being true to yourself.  

Best,

Allison
