Stressing about family get togethers?

At this time of the year you gather with friends and family to celebrate and share - a time of joy! However, for many it is actually a time of stress and anxiety. Worrying about arguments, pleasing everyone and keeping the peace. We say dear friends if your thoughts have turned to these concerns then be mindful for the worry will of itself manifest exactly that. Take a moment and change your thinking.

Sit quietly in a space where you will not be disturbed, perhaps light a candle and dim the lights to create a sense of peace. Then watch your thoughts for a moment and allow them to still and quieten. Now start to picture the gathering or situation that is worrying you and change the image. See the people involved surrounded by calmness and serenity, see smiles on their faces and laughter - allow yourself to be filled with that same feeling as you see yourself in the scene.

Now, invite your Spirit Guides to join you and ask them to support you and assist with your intentions and the situation. Feel their presence around you bringing comfort. Then quietly in your mind set your intention - that the gathering will be filled with good spirits, harmony and acceptance, that you will not be drawn into drama or react to others issues or stresses, that this year all family events will flow beautifully and any anxiety will be lifted. Allow these words and thoughts to surround and fill you, believe them. When you are ready thank your Spirit Guides for joining you and blow out the candle.

Do not worry about how this will happen, have faith that it can. Should you feel any anxiety rising ask your Guardian Angel to gently take it away and remember the intention.

Let your time with family and friends be filled with love and harmony.

Blessings,
