About Linda:

Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We’ve all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."

As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested anti-anxiety medication but that didn't resonate with me so I sought the healing arts. I expanding my teaching skills and became a yoga, meditation, mindfulness, reiki and sound healer to step into my power and own my impact. 

A Call for Love will teach you how to find the courage to hold space for your fears and tears. To learn how to love and respect yourself and others more deeply.  

My mission is to guide you on your journey. I believe we can help transform the world around us by choosing love. If you don’t love yourself, how can you love anyone else? Join a call for love.

We are going to gently come into a soothing practice to relieve any stress. This soothing and relaxing meditation is really going to help you relieve stress to find some deep peace as you slowly settle and allow your eyes to soften. Allow your physical body to just soften as well. Take a moment to slowly relax. Relax all the muscles in your face. Your shoulders, your body, your legs, your feet, your arms in your hands. Allow your tongue to fall to the bottom of your mouth and let your eyes drop into their sockets

and with the eyes closed or soft like you to bring your inner gaze to the space between your brows. Allow any natural light to draw through the eyelids and just bring attention to the third eye

and begin to follow your breath

as you inhale silently say to yourself,

breathe in

and as you exhale silently say breathe out

breathe in on the inhale

and breathe out on the exhale

repeating this mantra in very gentle and soothing rhythm

Breathe in. Breathe out breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out

feel the gentle rise and fall of your belly with each in breath the expansion and contraction just of the heart as you continue to follow your breath allow yourself to become aware of any tension or stress that may be present in your physical body or mental body.

Meditation is a powerful tool for relieving stress and calming your nervous system

going from fight flight or freeze

to rest and digest

as you breathe here really honoring this time you created for yourself

and really create the intention to find deep letting go a sense of relaxation and inner peace

with each breath

invite a sense of tranquility and stillness into your heart center into your whole being

as you bring attention to your heart center feel the warmth and soothing energy radiating from this space

as you

breathe imagine this energy spreading throughout your whole body

melting away any tension or stress that you may be holding on to

allow yourself to fully surrender to this present moment

Let go of any thoughts or worries that may arise and simply give yourself permission to be here fully present, noticing the rise and fall

of your breath

with each breath, invite a sense of calmness and tranquility

into every place of your body

feel any tension melting away

as if it is being washed away by a gentle stream of relaxation

to go deeper and deeper into stillness continuing to allow your breath to be a source of comfort and support. Grounding you and drawing you into the present moment

know that you have the power to bring peace and calmness into your life through the practice of stillness

of drawing in

of befriending yourself through meditation

by taking this time for yourself, you're nourishing your mind, your body and your soul

as you continue

to follow your breath let go of any expectations or judgments then play allow yourself to be with your breath embracing each inhale and exhale as it naturally unfolds.

Meditation is a journey and each moment is spent in stillness is a step towards greater peace and serenity. Trust in the process and know that with each breath you're cultivating a deep sense of relaxation and well being.

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh once said

breathing in I calm my body and mind

breathing out I smile dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment

as we go deeper in Word going to guide you through a practice called Breathe in and breathe out

with each breath

we will release tension and bring about a sense of calm and ease in our body

our mind and in our spirit

breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out

as you breathe here

allow my words to float in and out of your consciousness

breathing in I calm my body and mind breathing out I relax my shoulders

breathing in I calm my body and mind breathing out I let go of worry

breathing in I calm my body and mind

breathing out I let go of resistance wishing things were different

breathing in I calm my body and mind

breathing out I surrendered to this moment

breathing in I calm my body and mind

breathing out I softened my heart

breathing in I calm my body and mind breathing out I know I will be okay

breathing in I calm my body and mind

breathing out I am at peace with what is

breathing in I calm my body and mind breathing out

I open my mind to new possibilities

breathing in I calm my body and mind.

Breathing out I trust the universe will take care of me

breathing in I calm my body and mind.

Breathing out

I smile

When life feels stressful and not always

easy

it's a call for love a call for self love to slowly notice and feel your heart center move

with each breath offer yourself

loving kindness and breathe into a sense of tranquility
