Living and Loving

  • Gratitude Comes Early

    The light is always more powerful….

    “I invite the light into my life in all the ways.”

    ~ Lee Harris

    It has been one month and one day since I wrote a Yellow Brick Road post. We were in the final weeks of preparation in Michigan, and days were filled with packing and packed with visits with those we love and are already looking forward to being with in the springs when these snow birds fly home. Gratitude that our last evening was shared at the Chocolate Cafe enjoying great music with Art (and Ed), joined by Molly and Claudia. Exquisite, to say the least.

    The timing of our arrival in Tennessee was divinely driven as we received a call from Stacey on Saturday saying she was to have a heart cath on Tuesday morning. Gratitude we were able to be here so I could fasten and unfasten her bra and open and lift things for her while she was on restriction. And immense GRATITUDE Stacey had excellent results with no stent needed.

    Gratitude John and I were here to assist with moving Jackson, and GRATITUDE for our successful completion of three significant projects here at the house: cleaning the windows, cleaning out the dryer vent line (FYI – it goes all the way underneath the concrete the entire span of the garage!). and re-screening the windows with pet-resistant screen.

    Gratitude they enjoyed the meals I cooked for Stacey and Doug and John in those days following Stacey’s procedure…. and gratitude that Doug fried fish (and made French fries) for us for dinner last evening.

    Profound gratitude to grandson Brad for having moved decades of Sacred Stories and Yellow Brick Road posts from SCS-Matters.com and having successfully launched DebraBasham.com!

    Gratitude for Stacey’s one-handed help with cleaning the dryer vent and for Brad’s two-handed help with the new screens.

    And gratitude for this story about John’s brother, Jack, following a long evening (and into the night) at ER getting flushed. The doctor asked Jack if he needed anything. He said he was hungry. She asked what he wanted – a Burger King double cheese burger was his request. After also getting Cindy’s order that doctor had Door Dash deliver to the ER for them, and she refused to let them pay! About 3:00 am as they were driving home, cresting a hill they encountered a herd of cattle in the road! After calling 911, they stayed with their emergency flashers on to prevent any unsuspecting driver from being injured (or any cows). Jack’s attitude of gratitude and quick humor resulted in him saying to Cindy, “Now we can say the hospital did not discharge us until the cows came home!:

    I might edit that opening quotation to say “Gratitude is always more powerful. I invite gratitude into my life in all ways.”

    May all beings have gobs of genuine gratitude….

  • Freedom from Guilt, Grief, or Anger

    Guilt, grief, or anger are emotions generated from the past. Freedom from Guilt, Grief, or Anger is a guided-imagery journey designed by Debra Basham to bring conscious and unconscious resources into alignment in a way that will allow you to stabilize an orientation in present time. 

    Avoid listening while driving or performing other tasks that require your full attention.

  • Remembering Perfect Health

    Remembering Perfect Health is a guided-imagery journey designed by Debra Basham to assist with activating your vagus nerve to stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system. While your sympathetic nervous system controls your body’s “fight or flight” response, your parasympathetic nervous system helps to control your body’s response during times of rest and relaxation. Your unconscious mind remembers exactly what your body needs. When you cut your finger, your finger knows how to heal. Perfect health is a decentralized but unified intelligence. Remembering Perfect Health is where greater recovery and well-being are activated.

    Avoid listening while driving or performing other tasks that require your full attention.

  • Welcome Baby

    Welcome Baby is a guided-imagery journey developed by Debra Basham to support a mother-to-be and her child through pregnancy, labor, and delivery. It is appropriate for those awaiting adoption, for those who have experienced the loss of a developing fetus, for birth mothers planning to have another adopt their child, and for anyone healing his or her wounded child state. This audio is designed to promote the deep relaxation and altered state that brings your conscious and unconscious resources into alignment into alignment in a way that promotes healing — of body, mind, and spirit. Listen at a time when you can relax completely. 

    Avoid listening while driving or performing other tasks that require your full attention. 

    Pamella Chappell performs the background music. You will enjoy five of Pamela’s most powerful original songs, plus her singing How Could Anyone, written by Libby Roderick, You Can Relax Now, written by Susan McCullen, and Lullaby, written by Chris Williamson.

  • Pre- and Postsurgical Support

    Pre- and Postsurgical Surgical Support is a guided-imagery journey developed by Debra Basham because stress is a natural response to the prospect of surgery or other medical procedures. The need for surgery or the discovery of a serious health problem is often a turning point in life, and individuals will do best when they assume an active role in the process of recovery. Using  your conscious and unconscious resources helps you promote your own health as you relax and prepare for whatever you are navigating physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Research indicates that an individual who has been well-prepared emotionally and mentally can, on average, experience:

    • 20% less blood loss during surgery
    • 23%-50% less need for pain medication
    • Earlier discharge from the hospital 
    • Fewer complications following surgery 

    Avoid listening while driving or performing other tasks that require your full attention.

  • Freedom from Pain

    Freedom from Pain is a guided-imagery journey designed by Debra Basham to bring together the benefits of deep relaxation with two powerful subtle energy techniques: Self-Full Body Connection and Etheric Vitality Plus. These were the path to Debra’s freedom from chronic pain after having been told by doctors she would never have quality of life 40 years ago. Use these separately or in any combination that truly works for you.
