Let’s Begin with the Affirmation for Week 40!
“I HAVE A VOICE”
There have been many times where my voice felt like suffocation as I spoke. This is a remaining effect of its absence stemming from my childhood sexual abuse. I might express my voice with slight bursts or in a rambunctious pose- my child-within still seems to speak through it.
“I HAVE A VOICE”
  |
The measure of my voice will set its own precepts. Today as an adult, I understand the depth of my voice. It does have power, and I may choose to use it to bring some form of enlightenment for myself and my surroundings. |
“I HAVE A VOICE”
My child-within needs balance to thrive in her adult years, a special time of personalized self-development. Today “I Have a Voice”, and my inner-gratitude may be proclaimed through the abundant flow of expressed art- music, dance, literature, sports, art, film, teaching, and so on.
  |
As a sexual abuse survivor, I may have not discovered my powerful voice. I can take time to find it again by listening for positive feedback, or I can even re-invent my own unique voice with daily affirmations. I have the strength to research and discover my voice.
I may find balance in my voice where it’s no longer too soft or deafening in my surroundings. This new self-expression through my child-within is pleasing to me. As a sexual abuse survivor, it is no longer necessary to feel enclosed from myself nor my environment because “I Have a Voice” and I can express it.
|
No matter where you are right now on your journey as a sexual abuse survivor, remember that there is more to you than what the eye may perceive of the self at this time. You are a Survivor- Stay in action on your healing journey every day and meditate on these concepts, “I Have a Voice.”
Visualize the Affirmation, see it in color or as shaded black and white, however, the mind perceives it, allow for the current response to form naturally. Listen to yourself without judgment and begin to frequently journal this process as you transition the mind to higher knowledge of yourself.
Your Reality In Balance begins at the very moment as the work is placed forth by your intent to grow and change for the betterment of self, aiding in the improvement of mankind!

Emotional Well-Being & Balance with Citrus Oils
Citrus essential oils can be effective physiologically, where they work on the actual physical condition, but also psychologically, where they work with the sense of smell and the effect that it has on the mind. All of the commonly obtainable citrus fruit oils are used in the practice aromatherapy. Citrus scents are considered “invigorating” or “soothing” and can be utilized for symptoms of stress and depression.
There are various degrees of studies that demonstrate how essential oils can positively affect mood and the awareness of well-being, generating either uplifting or calming effects: grapefruit essential oil, for example, works to combat depression, and sweet orange is often referred to as the “smiley oil”. I can honestly say today as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner that the value and quality of life citrus essential oils have helped me to obtain and usher in to relieve stress and self-doubt is priceless.
The latest stats regarding depression as follows:
300 million people around the world have depression, according to the World Health Organization. 16.2 million adults in the United States-equaling 6.7% of all adults in the country have experienced a major depressive episode in the last year. There is some research that supports the view that citrus oils can be used therapeutically in cases of mild depression.

Let’s Begin with the Affirmation for Week 39!
“I AM SAFE”
I’ve always known of a greater source, this inner will that accompanied me during unforeseen times as a sexual abuse survivor. Whether if this force of power appeared as light (understanding) or unfamiliarity, I wholeheartedly sought after it. I might even recall hearing an inspiring, small voice or representation to carry on, be brave because I Am Safe.
Oh, how endowed by delight I am in today! As an adult, I aware that I Am Safe due to sustained courage over time. As a child, there were imprinted distortions surrounding my sexual abuse of course. The complexity of it all began with a resentment of feeling unprotected, which stood out the most.
I may have managed to remain “hidden” in the sight of other people, as a means to unconsciously protect and control my environments. In my relationships “safeguarding” became a natural instinct in order to hide the ills of my past as a child of sexual abuse. Today, I search for the safety that was first instilled within me already.
|
I Am Safe with the powerful utilization of my own audible voice as well! I do not have to dwell with the pains or shame of sexual abuse. I Am Safe to talk about it, research it, learn or grow from it. I know that this will take time and will require much patience and tolerance of myself. I Am Safe and feel renewed each time that I think of this shielded guidance. As a sexual abuse survivor, a peace of mind is discovered on a path free from restrictions. I will maneuver each direction knowing that I Am Safe. |
