Today's *grounding* meditation is very literal, as this meditation is to be done lying on the ground. Connect your body's energy with that of the earth. Gain healing, strength, and support from the ground; leave behind your anxiety, stress, and worry.

If only there was a short saying that could remind us what we can and cannot control... oh wait! In today's Energy Elevator, Rachael shares and deconstructs the Serenity Prayer. Although it is best known in the AA community, it can be used by anyone! It is a helpful reminder to control what we can, let go of the rest, and practice daily.

Always be perfect? No! Always do your BEST! Today's Energy Elevator covers the fourth agreements of Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements. This agreement envelopes the first three agreements, for as we practice speaking impeccably, not taking things personally, and not making assumptions, we must do it the best we can! Allow your "best" to fluctuate, as long as you always strive to do your best.

Another episode, another agreement! This Energy Elevator shares the Third Agreement: Don't make assumptions. Not only is assumption-making a cognitive distortion, but it brings us into the future, which does not exist. We seek closure, even when it is irrational or false, because the unknown is too uncomfortable to sit with. By embracing the present moment and using clarification skills, assumptions become a thing of the past!

In today's Energy Elevator, Rachael introduces the Second Agreement: Don't take anything personally. I know this sounds daunting, but it is possible! Once you realize that someone else's actions and comments have everything to do with themselves and nothing to do with you, not taking things personally becomes a lot easier.

In today's Energy Elevator, Rachael dives into the first of the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The First Agreement: Be impeccable with your word. What does that mean? And how can you use your spoken word to change your life? Ultimately, it ties back to the "Golden Rule" of treating (and speaking to) others the way you want to be treated.
