I've become a spiritual person after surviving cancer. I meditate before I run a marathon as it helps me keep my stamina. I've just become a life coach. I am considering working as a meditation coach in Alaska. I want to share my meditation technique with others, even if it doesn't pay well. I learned about meditation to help me get through my cancer. I am not familiar with southwestern Alaska. Salmon is my favorite food. I'm trying to meditate in cold weather. I've experimented with mediation and essential oils. I don't think peppermint and lavender are good for meditation. I live in New Mexico. I move often, around every six months. I want to see the whole world.
I live in Alaska and we don't have many life coaches here. I've never run a marathon. My brothers are monks and help me meditate. Lately I quit my job to join the monastery. They take care of my basic needs. I started studying meditation when a family member was diagnosed with cancer. She has been in remission for 14 years now. I meditate, sometimes for as long as 8 hours. I am a minimalist when it comes to meditating. Southwestern Alaska is my favorite region of the state. I love the Peulik Volcano there. I like remote, wild areas. I have never been to New Mexico. I haven't been to many other states.
Ok I tried a quick meditation with lemon essential oil and it went great! That sounds lovely, Lemon and Lavender Essential oils are the best. Although Lavender smells great and helps with more things. The smell of lemon is just sometimes what you need.  I've not had much success with lavender.  how do you feel about vanilla? That is also one of the best smelling oils there is however it doesn't help much with healing. I usually use Vanilla if i just want to feel relaxed.  Sometimes relaxing can be the best way to begin to heal. I'm thinking of moving again. Yeah you're right about that one. Oh really, where are you thinking about moving too?  maybe to washington state this time. have you ever been there? You really do like to move. Do you think you will ever settle down somewhere or you just like to see new places too much. I have never been there i have heard great things though.  I don't know.  As long as I keep enjoying new places I'll probably keep moving. at least until I find one place that insists I stay. That makes a lot of sense. Where has been your best place you have lived so far?  All of them!  for different reasons of course.  I like all the adobe buildings in New Mexico, but I'm ready for someplace cooler. Yes living in very hot places can be tough. For me though i prefer a warmer weather and just enjoy short visit to places that are cooler.
