Practice Daily Self Care
Written by Maureen Brennan Mercier
Practice daily self care as an essential way to honor your body, your mind, your emotions and to honor your spirit.
It is imperative that you practice daily self care in order to live a balanced life. We are spirit beings in physical form and we need to take good care of ourselves on all levels.
When we practice daily self care the act of loving others becomes easier without taking from your life force energy. Nurturing others is more organic and flows when we care for ourselves daily.

Fill your own Cup
Fill your own cup by putting yourself first as an act of self love. We are here to grow, learn, enjoy life and to be of service to others. Giving what we do not have ourselves or do not give to ourselves depletes our bodies and our psyche creating an imbalance.
Fill your own cup first, then giving to others comes from the flow of life within us. The result of self care is joy for the giver and the receiver as your cup runs over with love.
Positive things that feed your body, mind, emotions and spirit fill your own cup. Meditation, reading an engaging book, tea with a loving friend, walking in nature or working on a creative project are some examples of things that nurture you.
Honor your Body
Honor your body by feeding it healthful live foods, drinking plenty of water and exercising. Your body is the temple of Spirit. Accept it as it is lovingly and be grateful that it is your vehicle to express your creativity, playfulness and to be of service to mankind.
Honor your body by nurturing it with warm baths, stretching, receiving Reiki healings, massages and other healings.
Walking is a wonderful way to honor your body, get exercise, feel grounded and meditate all at the same time.
Honor your Mind
Honor your mind by using affirmations in order to keep your thoughts positive. The mind can only focus on one thing at a time. What you focus on you create more of, so create consciously with intention.
You honor your mind when you meditate. In meditation you focus on one thing such as your breath, to help still the mind. Your mind is a powerful tool for self awareness when you focus it daily in this way.
When you keep your thoughts on your intention you also honor your mind. The mind is meant to be the servant of the master within you which is your Higher Mind or Higher Power. So use your mind for your highest good consciously.
Honor your Emotions
Honor your emotions by allowing them to flow in the moment without judgement. Emotions are neither right nor wrong. Let go of your thoughts and just be with your feelings.
Sharing your feelings with a trusted friend is so important as a way to honor your emotions and release pent up feelings.
In addition to that a way to honor your emotions is to have an agreement with a friend. When you need to vent you let the friend know by simply saying "I need to vent." That is the cue for them to just be a good listener and not try to fix the problem for you.
Honor your Spirit
Honor your spirit through meditation and prayer. Meditation is listening to God. Prayer is speaking to God.
In meditation you focus your mind so that you honor your spirit in the silence. The rational mind is very active and needs to be stilled in order to be aware of our Higher Power within. Through a regular meditation practice you naturally develop your intuition which is from spirit who dwells within you.
Prayer is another way to honor your spirit by speaking directly to God and consciously connecting to Source knowing that we are not alone. The Universe is for us in every way.
Practice daily self care to love and honor yourself on all levels: body, mind, emotion, spirit. Then we can show up for all areas of our lives with ease as a natural overflow of our self love.

What is Reiki Healing?
For more than 27 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world including India, China and England.
Some clients prefer to come for an Intuitive Reading in person. However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions. Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me happy. I am so blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.
Intuitive Readings in Saugerties NY and by Phone
When a client sets up an Intuitive Reading session with me I suggest that they write down their questions before the session. The specific questions help the client to focus their intention on what they want guidance for in their life.
At the beginning of the Intuitive Reading with each individual, I go into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for the client. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures. The information that I channel is spiritual yet practical.
I encourage all of my clients to:
Live your true potentialr
Feel your own wholenessr
Experience inner peace and joyr
Express your creativityr
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly diviner
