When is the last time you asked yourself, ‘what am I hoping for?’ Hope. Hope never denies your emotions of anger, grief, anxiety, fear or sadness, instead, hope allows you to direct your feelings, thoughts and actions to more focused possibilities.

Energy is Renewed and Possibilities Unfold

When one has hope, or finds hope, one’s energy is renewed and possibilities unfold. If one feels hopeless, energy and possibilities are lost.

In the book Transpersonal Development: Cultivating the Human Resources of Peace, Wisdom, Purpose and Oneness, Bonney and Richard Schaub from Huntington Meditation and Imagery note that when we link our minds’ energy to hope we can support our central nervous system to lift any feelings of depression and hopelessness.

This is powerful for yourself, and for your patients, families and communities!

Awaken the Deep Connections to Inner Wisdom

At the Restoration Room, we explore awareness practices, aka mindfulness, guided imagery, meditation etc. in our group and individual Nurse Coaching sessions. These practices help awaken the deep connections we each have to our inner wisdom, as sometimes, for whatever reason, we can lose connection with our internal knowledge, experiences and knowing.

Spending a few precious moments re-acquainting with one’s self is all one needs to get un-stuck, move forward, and create an energy shift towards your desires.

From My Heart

With this hope, and from my heart, I share one of my favorite awareness practices which simply asks the question, “What am I hoping for”. No one can predict what answer will arise for you, and that is the beautiful surprise as you tap into your inner knowing, and uncover

It’s super helpful to explore mindfulness practices yourself a few times to see what comes up for you, and how you respond before you share it with others. So click the button below to experience the, “what am I hoping for?” mindfulness practice with me.

You have time, it takes less than 5 minutes!

I’d love to hear what transpired for you, and how you use this mindfulness/awareness practice in your work, at home for you or your children, your colleagues, or simply for you. You deserve all the hope in the universe.
