Many mothers have been working extra hard- homeschooling, planning activities and
outings on top of their regular household routines of cooking, laundry, bedtime baths,
stories and so much more. Mom’s are exhausted!

Let’s give mom a break this summer. Come rest and recharge yourself while I engage
your child in the wonders of expressive arts and forest wisdom: lessons in grounding,
self-calming, creativity and improvisation. A fun-filled, therapeutic program from which
your child and you can benefit. 

Everyone needs a little rest everyday. Here at Dr. Roxie’s Retreat House and Forest
Garden, you can stand still and pause from the rushing through life. Nestled among
ninety foot ancient, pine trees in the area 45 minutes west of Boston and not far from
Still River, the retreat space offers the atmosphere and charm of potent quiet places.

The best part is that you can come with your child to recharge yourself completely while
Dr. Roxie teaches life skills using nature’s energies to reset even the most anxious,
hyper child.

It’s better than camp, a unique setting and service expertly designed by Dr. Roxie for
both you and your child.

1. MIND: Find a harmonic engagement with your environment.
   When we look at our surroundings and we see beauty and order, something happens in our brains, it calms and brain wave patterns change to a slower frequency. Research in the field of neuro-aesthetics reveal powerful effects of beauty on our brains and nervous system. It gives reason to pick wild flowers, feathers, seashells or a circle of smooth stones and place them in your home where you can view them as a reminder of beauty\ and oder. Display a floral arrangement on your dining table or in your bedroom where you can feel the effects immediately.
2. BODY: Find a practice for inner balance that works for you.
   Whether you are outdoors in nature or in your home, a daily relaxation practice is essential for all of us. Remember “nap time” as a child? Believe it or not, our bodies need rest everyday. And resting before we get exhausted is the best method for reigniting our spark. The conscious breathing technique has been associated with vitality and longevity. Did you know the longer and slower you can stretch out your breath, the longer your life? Yes! Scientific research on meditative practices proves, the results of elongating the breath is associated with longevity.
3. SPIRIT: Find a creative expression that brings you joy.
   Keep a box of crayons, colored pencils or watercolor paints accessible so that you can craft calm at a moment’s notice. Simply doodling, coloring or writing affirmations can change your mood and inspire your creative impulse. Each day is filled with productive energy and your spirit is filled with the same potential. Use it and start to love yourself more and more.

1. Light a candle. Gently, turn your attention away from the day, away from the stressors. Bring
your attention inward to your breathing. In the breath is the clearing space where something
new can happen. It is open, expansive, healing. The candle flame represents the spark of the
Divine within you. Place your hand on your heart, feel a love for your self in a new way, without
judgement or opinion. Imagine the light burning brightly, steadily luminous. This is your moment
of awareness, rest in the stillness of pure love.

2. Go outdoors. Create a sacred space for yourself. It could be in the woods.Stand with the
trees: strong, tall, confident, resilient. Contemplate who you are in the Universe. Reconnect
with your true essence of Source. We are all related. We are all connected. Take a moment
to feel the interconnectedness of all life. Let this knowing fill you with reassurance.

3. Sit with a wild flower and see what it has to tell you. Just be quiet and listen, deeply. What
would it say about beauty? Take a moment to write or draw this lovely flower. Pay attention
to the details, the colors, the fine lines, the leaves, the overlooked aspects. Look again, see
all you possibly can about this little wild flower growing where it was planted in the meadow.
Let her remind you that you also have the potential to grow right where you are. Let this
knowing bring you self-appreciation.

4. Look up to the sky. Watch as the clouds slowly drift away. Imagine you could hitch a worry
thought to a cloud and see it drift away. Just let it go by. No need to hold on. Let it go.
You are safe, you are whole. You are free.

5. Go home. It could be to your bedroom or a private home space where you like to be. Take
out a pen and piece of paper or your journal if you have one. Write down your talents or gifts
you are born with. It could be you have beautiful handwriting or are talented at drawing or
painting. Maybe you have athletic ability or you’re a great dancer. Think of whatever it is you
love because what you love will inform you of your talents. Think of what you do that
has time fly, that’s a clue to discover your gifts. Take a moment. write down as many as you
can this will bring you back to love. Remember you have a beauty within and it is knowing you are love.

By Dr. Roxanne Daleo

1. RECALL a time in your life when you were in a state of resourcefulness. Think back to an experience that caused you to dig deep inside yourself for courage! A time when you felt fear but you pushed yourself through with determination and self-belief. The key is seeing yourself successfully completing the task at hand- that’s the feeling of tapping your inner-strength, I’m talking about! It could be learning to ride your bike; having fun sledding or playing a team sport and making a goal. Maybe it was when you mastered singing, completing a musical performance and hearing the audience rousing applause. You decide. When did you feel great? What were you doing that made you feel super-good inside yourself?
2. RE-LIVE IT using all your senses. Imagine hearing all the sounds around you; feeling the feeling of exhilaration and excitement, totally see yourself as you were going through the motions on that day. The day you felt good about yourself.
3. RESOLVE yourself to never giving up. You have within you all the power you need to do what you set out to do. Reactivate your resourceful state – your cellular memory will help you know it is still there within you. It feels like a “YES, I did it!”
4. RESET using three deep breaths. Even though you promise yourself to never give up, use your breathing to create space so you can pause and reset.  Be present. You are learning how to make friends with  all  your emotions- angry, sad, hurt, scared, happy. This ability to be fully  present creates the new in you.

Give an offering to Mother Earth
A flower, a leaf a stone
A poem, a story, a song
A wish, a prayer
A tear for your pain
A touch for your healing
All these things in love and joy.
“I honor you, Earth Mother, with all that I am.”

Take a Walk in Beauty
I walk with Beauty before me
I walk with Beauty behind me
I walk with Beauty above me
I walk with Beauty below me
I walk with Beauty all around me
Today my world is beautiful

This month of December is an auspicious time on multiple levels. Firstly, it is
the birth of the newborn baby Jesus and the remembrance of his origin story.
Also, it is time to feel the golden ray of Christ from the cosmos meeting with your heart and third eye with joyful illuminations and the highest perspective.

When we allow the Golden Ray of Christ Light frequencies to flood into our
bodies and fields, we can immerse ourselves in love, joy and peace. Attend to you heart and third eye matching up these two wheels with this energy and consciously bringing balance between heart and third eye. You’ll gain new understanding how we are perceiving the world around us. Open to this incredible down pouring of the Christ light that is coming in from the Universe.

Gentle Attunement

Breathe in calmly and deeply. Feel the sensation of resting, allowing the golden ray of Christ light to move into you, hold for a moment and release the breath.

Take another deep breath, bring the golden ray of Christ light into you heart.

See the radiance, feel the love for yourself and rest a moment. And again, take a third breath, let the golden ray of Christ light expand around your bodies- physical, auric, etheric. Take in the love. As you do see astral bands sent out by your heart to the hearts of your loved ones… harmonize the energy like tuning a musical instrument. Know every thought you keep, every word you speak is fine tuned at the highest frequency you can hold. Now see the astral band between you and another. See the face of God in each other. Allow the golden ray of Christ light to brighten your inner sight so you can truly see all that is; drop old perceptions, beliefs, judgments. Allow the golden ray of Christ light to wash over you, cleansing and clearing, harmonizing to love, joy and peace. Allow this powerful golden ray of Christ light to nourish and sustain you. You are love and so is he. Balance and healing is available with Christ light in this moment. With Christ, the Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Light in the Darkness the energy moves. Even when you don’t see it, it’s moving. Even when you don’t feel it, it’s moving. Christ light is working, never stops working. The golden ray of Christ is flooding in from the cosmos, the love connecting with you is so immense, full of potential, growth, expectation and joy. Open your heart fully to receive these energies. And start to send your heart light back to all in your world. You are one heart. Feel how you are one with all of creation. Rest in these energies for a few moments. You are safe. Breathe in deeply and exhale joyful expectation. Expect love, you will receive it. Expect radiance, you will feel it. Breathe, relax, become the golden ray of Love. . When you feel radiant, open your eyes and smile.
