A couple nights ago because of the holidays, my 24 yr old daughter had to bunk with me and before I went to sleep, I looked over and was just so filled with the peace you get watching your sleeping child no matter how old they get.
Truth
❤ That is so sweet 🥹
Absolutely, also I've found that sleeping near your mother, especially if you can hear her heartbeat.
☺️ I can relate to this one. My daughter is 19 and seeing her sleeping/waking up is still pure joy for me.
That sounds so special
My last glimmer was last night, playing ball with my husband and 2 daughters in our living room. We all let go of everything else and fully engaged, which doesn’t happen often enough. There was giggling and tickling and awkward body movements and legitimate laughter and joy. My daughter who usually has a hard time with bed time went to bed happily afterwards. I didn’t get embarrassed to lunge for the ball and completely miss. I felt like a kid again
I never knew there was a name for it! My main glimmers are when I'm out with my dog and I see her running and jumping through the grass like she's got springs in her feet. It's such a moment of pure joy that you can't help but smile
It might be her own word or the common word in counseling. Moments of peace, glimpses of God, serenity, calm, joy etc. There are many words and expressions.
I love watching my dog get the zoomies!! 🐶
Although my dog is older now, I have always enjoyed a minimum of two glimmer moments a day with her - our morning and evening walks before meals. I am fully engaged in attempting to view the world through her perspective. The wonder that exists all around us that so many take for granted in pursuit of the future. I glimmer when I am in the moment!
Yes, my animals when I come home from work. The best part of my day
Love this! Ironically, a shower with the lights off is a daily “glimmer” for me. I stim and just feel the hot water, as if I’m cleansing my spirit in a waterfall. It’s a physical practice of serenity. 🙏✨
I'm going to try this, it sounds wonderful
I take dark showers daily. I even have a bathroom speaker and a bathroom candle. Coming on to the end of the shower, I drop a Vicks vape bomb in there and breathe deeply. 💕
I’d probably accidentally trip and die so not a good idea for me, but glad it makes you happy. I’m just a little too clumsy hahaha
I love the idea of a bathroom speaker and candle! I’ll have to try this.
I do this with cool water, when it’s hot in the summer. After a warmish shower. I let the cool water just stream down my head and the back of my neck down my back. It’s so calming, healing and relaxing.
I'm glad to learn that I've been doing this not knowing what glimmers were. The last two were admiring the mountains and the sunset yesterday and having a hearty dinner followed by a movie night with my daughter. Got me from being drained to feeling the joy of life again
Same here. I do weekly date night dinners with my wife and I started acknowledging "glimmers" out loud by saying "I'm thankful for this meal and this time with you." It really does make a difference to acknowledge the present goodness.
I was worried at first that it was MS or something nerve related. Now I just enjoy them.
Anytime I see or smell honeysuckle I have glimmers of happy moments that were mixed into my mostly traumatic childhood. I have memories of smelling and eating the honeysuckle off the fence it was growing on and playing in the clover that grew in the backyard and using their white flowers to make flower crowns/bracelets
I've been back in therapy since August and your content is helpful in me continuing on my healing journey. thanks for sharing.
That sounds like fun, sweet memories. I remember enjoying little outdoorsy things like that too, despite a rollercoaster inside of 4 walls. Fresh berries growing wild in the woods, and also honey suckle. Don’t lose those memories ❤ those are the ones worth clinging to.
I love honeysuckle too. Maybe there is an essential oil made of honeysuckle…. That would help increase the glimmer moment!
Same here. Which is why I made sure to pick honeysuckle and show them and later grandkids how to properly peel and enjoy to fragrant and deliciousness of the center.
Sorry. I meant my like and later grandkids.
Honeysuckle yes, and mimosa flowers
Glimmers are INCREDIBLELY important to our healing journey.
Did you practice them throughout the day? What was your protocol?
@@Cocktail.witch.newhaven I try to pick at least one each day either through reflection at the EOD or just in the moment. You can practice savoring positive experiences and feelings as well.
@@Cocktail.witch.newhaven for example, I created my 2024 vision board for next year this morning. I’m super happy with how well it turned out. I savored the images of the board in my mind.
Yes! For abuse survivors, things were stolen from us, and sadly the only remedy is to create new, good feelings and build on those each day, for ourselves, and thus, we can someday enjoy good memories.
I had a glimmer yesterday while listening to my boyfriend and my dad talk about some classic rock over lunch. All 3 of us were out at a restaraunt and I was able to sit back and soak in the convo, instead of feeling the need to provide a topic of convo. Then, when they realized they know some of the same people, I remember thinking how grateful I am to have not one, but two great guys in my life.
omg i never thought of this and just thinking about it this way is sooooo powerful I started crying. why do we think of these moments as not important?! I found myself soaking up these moments but shame and guilt always crept in. calling them glimmers and thinking about them as an actual biological thing will help me actually use these moments to heal and self actualize
Why shame and guilt? Were you shamed for joy?? That's terrible
I’ve always thought of those moments as important but not using the word “glimmer” and just being in the moment and enjoying the time spent. I love having afternoon tea and usually outside to definitely listen to birdsong and other normal sounds of a neighborhood. Now if I could just keep my doggos from barking it’d be a much healthier experience.
Singing with the choir while forgetting all your sorrows for some hours. Or reading a new book of your fav writer. Or taking care of my donkeys. Or eating dinner with son or daughter instead of eating alone.
For several weeks now on weekly date nights with my wife I've made a practice to say "I'm thankful for this meal and this time with you." It's cool that there's terminology for this. It really does help to practice gratitude and presence in the moment. That's joy.
We always seem to focus and talk about triggers, but I have never heard of glimmers. In my healing journey, I’ve experienced little joyful, calm moments, but I didn’t know what they were called. Thank you for educating us on the language that accompanies our healing experiences, grateful for sharing your work with us. ❤
This is possibly her own word. I call those moments of joy
@@dovie2blue it is a term in the psych community- not just something she fabricated. However, I agree, it is simply joy. Or soothing comfort. Or peaceful.
Wait, so you need a psychologist to tell you that having a pleasant moment in your life is a good thing? How's that educational? Isn't it the same thing as the "live your life to the fullest enjoying every moment" type of trite tune? How does it educate you on anything new? How does calling a pleasant time a "glimmer" make it into anything new?
@@Ot-ej5giSpoken like someone in serious need of an avalanche of glimmers. 🙄
@@ahill4642 So, we all need good times, especially folks who had some horrible times. So, what's the aha moment here?:) lol It's like saying guess what, you are thirsty, (please hold on to your seat now) so you need to drink water. Daaah! :) Only we are going to call it not water but a "rehydrating substance." or "rehsu" So, would you like to have some "rehsu"? (Much cooler than the word "water", which is sooo common). Also, it's the reason you got "that" thirsty in the first place that needs to be seriously avoided in the future. You cannot heal by having good moments. You can ONLY heal by knowing you ARE NOT GETTING THAT Thirsty again. Chasing desperately good moments is just silly. No amount of those can totally undo the pain you had experienced. Look for a meaning in your suffering, not a bandaid.
Not sure if they're glimmers but I have moments where I get goose bumps and feel profound joy. Usually in nature and sometimes I cry.
watching my animals be peaceful or cheerful is my most common glimmer
1) an amazing secure hug 2) conversations with a friend that help me feel connected to them and heard myself 3) time with pets 4) time outside either hiking or being at the beach 5) helping others
Thank you for these reminders!
My latest glimmer was handing my gift to my gf this morning (tomorrow we are travelling abroad to visit family, so we decided to do gift giving a day early). The big gift she knew about and was happy, but she didn't know what the small gift would be. It was one of those chewy stim necklaces that she once mentioned when we discussed her autism and specifically the kind of stims she liked (the convo was more about masking but anyways). The convo happened in summer so I imagine my gf doesn't even remember it, but I did, by some miracle lol. Anyways she was so ridiculously happy and happy stimming and has been activelly using the stim toy all day at her work. It was great. Seeing her inner child happy makes my inner child happy too I think. I also find it funny we both got each other sensory stuff in part as presents (she got me noise cancelling headphones for my auditory issues!) It's just overall such a nice feeling, knowing what gift to get for a loved one and the loved one also knowing what to get me. It is new. And so nice!
Well done, such a thoughtful gift. Honestly, those tiny gestures are everything - I still recall the day another mum gifted me a very specific ‘brownie’ I really liked, weeks after I mentioned it. The way this made me feel seen was astonishing. It wasn’t about a brownie, it was being noticed and known. Wow.
Ps. Safe journey to you both.
The last time I felt this, I called it a “Heart Intact” because it was basically the opposite of a heart attack. It was very nice to feel after a lot of complicated feelings prior to that!
My last glimmer actually was today a couple of hours ago. I got a little video from my brothers son whom i haven't seen in about two years. He is now 8 years old. He borrowed my brothers cellphone and sent a short video and he thanked me so much for the christmas-present. I sent him a little video back saying he is welcome and wished him a good new year.
I have missed him a lot
So I got really happy and glimmering when I got to see him in the video, he is a wonderful kid 💚 I wish him the best! 🌟 That was my latest glimmer and at the same time I felt a knot in my stomach.
What was your latest glimmering holistic psychologist? You are helping a lot, we love you dearly! Me and my inner child.
I’ve always called these them “snapshot moments” as they are moments I want to relish, cherish and remember. As you say, moments where I feel calm and my heart is full. Enjoy these moments folks as this is what life is truly about. The big, celebrated times are great and to be cherished as well. To me, a joyful life is made up of glimmers. Micro moments that fill us up and make us happy. Cheers to more glimmers in our lives! 👏🙏💕
Looking up at a full moon --gets me every time!
I’ve been more aware of these glimmers lately.
After many deep traumatic experiences, and two years of therapy, I feel like I am waking up from a deep cold sleep.
I feel like I am alive in these moments.
Glimmer is a good word for them.
My last glimmer was a feeling of safety and at homeless while I was resting in bed watching tv, it made me feel as if I was living 30 years ago in another state and life I had. It was wonderful. And it disappeared within a minute.
Just you mentioning feeling the sun on your skin made me feel happy. ☀️
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the visual format & the short length. It helps with my processing. I was reflecting on how modern society does everything it can to draw us away from mindful glimmers. To be mindful seems challenging in our fast paced world.
I had s glimmer with my husband just tonight! We had just finished dinner, we were talking and connecting, and then in the silence we just held eachother. He has long work days so our time to silently connect without distractions seems rare. It felt very powerful
My last glimmer was finding this short video. Thankyou!
I’ve always called this “feeling real”. In that moment, everything is going to be ok!
Yes! We should feel ok! It makes sense creating more of these moments of appreciation and serenity, soothing our souls, will help us heal.
Yes, naming the concept of "a glimmer" helps us pay attention to them. Seeing my husband's care in preparing breakfast this morning. The pause actually helps me experience the glimmer more fully. Thank you!
This video made me focus inwards - I actually found a tiny good feeling, and focused on that - and it grew! It's amazing to feel something good in my body - I usually feel nothing but tense and stressed out. So, this is now my favorite video on youtube, ever.
I trust this feeling - it's the opposite of when I think of family, which has always been such a source of pain.
Thank you so much for this video - it made my day/week/month/year... ✨
So great to see this veing taught! Am 76, on the path of mindfulness, awareness since 1968. What you are describing is about being a natural human being. The deep joy, the wonder, the magic if it, no matter what. Meeting challenges with intelligence, taking care of things is much easier when we are welcoming reality. What you teach is reality therapy. Being with what is. Being awake and aware. Self-knowledge. More life. 20 years ago i wanted to run around shaking people to wake up and not suffer so much. I learned they can't even see you if they don't believe. But the ones who believe it's possible become obvious. The spark is catching. One glimmer sparks another. Sometimes people can even detect the resonance of a shimmer.
Wow, this video is a gift. I just stumbled upon your channel for the first time and I really needed this info. I was triggered recently at work by a new associate and I've been in recover mode since, following the thread to past traumas. I guess I could say I've noticed glimmers on my own without knowing it and this puts a name on it. It tells me I do have some control over my life experience. Will practice more. Thank you!
sitting out on my porch and admiring how the trees are gently swayed by the wind. that’s my glimmer
Some thing that has really helped me to fend off depression is this gratitude practice I try to do every morning while I have my daily coffee, it’s a good way to start your day off with a “glimmer”
watching the birds chirp and eat from the bird feeder.
Lower your expectations of others because you can't control what they do. Change the way you look at people and events. First do no harm if you can avoid it and help make things better if possible.
Thankfulness is really so essential! For some it is religious but its also just essential! I remember there was a time when I literally thanked the birds for singing for me on my walk. I was so content even though it was a lonely time for me. I was happy with me being with myself. That all shifted a bit when I moved out of my mums but Im on my way.
Last glimmer was noticing the pink tinge on the clouds and the moon almost full yesterday, lovely
I go to the terrace each day to spend some time with my succulents. I noticed over time that it makes me feel at ease just sitting there and experiencing the breeze as it passes by or the birds chirp as they go back home or just seeing and taking in the color coated clouds from the sunset with the moon in the background and just viewing the sky as a whole. It's just so beautiful. Had no idea it was related to this. Glad to know now :D
I call those moments of peace because that’s what they are. All I had to do to start having them was to redefine how I thought of peace. I had been seeing only the extreme (zero problems; everything’s great) as peace. Once I redefined it as moments when there are no immediate problems and I’m calm, I started to see that I have peace all the time.
My husband and I walk our dogs every day around sunset. We take in the beauty each day. It’s become so important to us, we try never to miss it.
And speaking of dogs, another glimmer is spending quality time with each dog individually, petting, playing, and just relaxing with them. A dog’s life is short, so I try to enjoy my dogs in the present moment. This is helpful for regulating myself and them.
💜💜💜
wow, very nice. Very good point about the lifespan of a dog. It’s easy to take our pets for granted too much and time flies. To stop our busyness and really focus on our pet is a guaranteed shot of oxytocin, probably for both us and our pet. ☺️
My last glimmer was a few hours ago when I was out with my husband. It was foggy out and we noticed the smell and the peace within the fog. It was serene and the humid air was pleasant even though it is unusual this time of year.
This makes me think of "finding joy in the little things", but it's basically the same thing, which I try to practice. I LOVE that you call it "glimmers". I think it's so important to be able to enjoy little things and know how to access those moments when you really need them. Especially in difficult times, like with what I've been going through lately. It's been so important for me to be able to find the glimmers. Thank you for the reminder. Especially with it being Christmas and this one being a particularly sad one for me. Thank you for all you do.
My glimmers are:
Journaling.
Reading your tweets.
Being grateful that how God shows me the path to healing. Yes God is showing me but I was unable to notice. But now I am and this is a glimmer for sure.
Several ppl wishing me Merry Christmas (and I them) on the trail I was hiking. For anyone out there celebrating, enjoy your holiday!
Glimmer to me rhymes with glitter. How do I bring that "glitter" into my life wherever I might be in that moment. It's so easy to go off internally when there is a trigger. So a glitter moment is catching myself, staying out of the drama, opening my curtains to the sun even shoveling out my horse stalls. Yes its a yucky task sometimes but as a glimmer moment it's about keeping my best friends safe and healthy. They are the glitter that makes life easier.
I can attest to that. My cream golden retriever and Burmese cat are my greatest joys and achievements in my life. This doesn't detract from those relationships with humans past or present, it just implies that I feel this is the most purest, simplest kind of love that one can be grateful for. Seeing them well cared for and cherished helps me remember that there is some good and worthwhile acts of kindness that can be carried out with success... no one undermining you, shaming you or judging you... you just do it because it feels good and safe to do so. Taking time out to do the more...mundane things that need to happen.... mucking out stalls, cleaning up after them can be done with the mindset that we both win.... we end up having a fulfilling and cherished companionship together. We are entrusted to be their caretakers. Looking for moments of joy... they are out there people... you just have to stay grounded and realise that some people who are sent to test you... probably haven't done or wanted to do the groundwork or heavy lifting to better their outcomes (or are enduring heavy trauma).... and choose to cast their shade onto you instead. Merry Christmas, and to all a goodnight.🎄🎄
I always tell my dentist if it’s a complex procedure, “ if you give me an instruction expect a 2 second delay in my response because I will not be present “ I can go to 1972 standing on the frozen lake in front of my parents cottage, the sun was spectacular, the lake was an unblemished fresh coat of snow and it was absolutely silent. I love going there in my mind. I had dental implants installed this year, I was totally gone, I had a CT scan, again gone, I was startled by the nurse saying “we’re half way through “ it’s an amazing gift.
So I started attempting to get sober about 3 years ago when my ex left after 9 years of pain. I drank for 12 years,used anything and everything to feel different. But when she left, I began to become more self aware. There had to be something better, something greater! I put my faith in my higher power who I call God and went to rehab. And again I relapsed. And again and again. Ended up on the street 3 times. Finally, I got a sponsor and began working the 12 steps of AA. I talk to him everyday and he helps me to frame my ideas and issues in a more positive and grateful way. That, the realization that if she hadn't left, I'd have never began building the man I am today, that is my glimmer.
A recent one was walking on a freshly mopped (dry) floor. We live in a very dusty place and to feel the floor so clean under my bare feet felt so sweet. 😊
My last glimmer was yesterday when I went for a swim in a nature enclave near my home.
I floated above water, and felt a provision of love as I watched the towering trees in all their shades of green, their branches offering a safe shelter over me. It started to rain ever so lightly; I stayed in the water and watched everything around me turn into magic.
The largest of trees still providing cover and from them little droplets plopping softly onto the surface of the calm water, their sounds echoing against the buzzing of the dragonflies. I watch them fly, dip their little feet lightly as they skim over water, and I greet them happily. In these moments, I feel truly free to be me. Nature connects and heals 💚
I watched my dog eat his dinner 😍
28 years ago I changed my Lifestyle completely from a hectic, long commute, city job and relocated to a rural peninsula . My natural environment provides daily glimmers. Recently, I’ve been pursuing new work opps. Back to the craziness or working a calmer, more purposeful and flexible work. Yes, $ would be better back in the rat race. But then I fear my daily Glimmers would disappear in the hyper-paced rhythm of back to the treadmill. Namaste.
It’s the first time I hear the term glimmer but strangely enough, I started doing that very thing a few months ago. After suffering from PTSD for years, I needed a way to reprogram my brain and body to feel joy again. And contrary to certain comments on this post, knowing you need to feel joy to be healthy isn’t always enough and doesn’t compare to knowing you have to drink water. Speaking for myself, I could say that years of depression and dealing with past trauma had “hardwired “ my brain into believing I would never feel real joy again. I love this short video because it reminds people that it is possible to reprogram your thinking and emotions. What you call the moment is really irrelevant but personally, I like being able to put a name to it. It makes it more real and tangible somehow. And I like the term “ Glimmer”. It’s a counter balance to “trigger”. So thank you for this short video. There will always be someone to criticize but if it helps one single person, then it’s worthwhile.
I’m finally having regular glimmers after 3-4 years… I still struggle sometimes but it’s so nice to feel safe even if for only a moment
A glimmer moment I had was just appreciating the beautiful clouds in the sky and the way the sun hit them. It took my breath away and left me in awe. I like having a word for that. And I'm hoping that focusing on glimmer moments and things will help me when I am feeling triggered and help me get calm faster. Thank you so much for your content!
Wow, the little "Glimmers" I've been getting...I never knew about....years of fight and flight constantly....thanks for sharing...
Love this! Training yourself to notice and deeply feel the visceral effects of positive, uplifting experiences definitely intensifies the beneficial effects, and strengthens your abimity to notice them when they occur. Have been working with this for a while, love having the name of glimmers to connect with them.
Earlier this afternoon, I looked up to notice blue skies and puffy white clouds after several days of gray, gloomy, drizzly weather. I felt my whole body relax, and my spirit just lit up at the sight. A half hour later it was gray and gloomy again, but I had filled myself already, and still felt sunny inside.
Yesterday evening while sharing a link to an uplifting videowith a friend, we had a conversation about how the sharing feels like it creates an energetic web of love, support and connection that holds us like a cozy nest. It's always there supporting us, and we can snuggle into it and feel the comfort of it whenever we need or want to. Recognizing that, and being fully aware of it in that moment, I could feel the resonance of that loving support all around me, and it was such a deeply nourishing moment. Definitely a glimmer, and I found myself remembering it and revisiting it today when I was at a low point. Having the conversation with her really helped trigger my awareness of what was happening, and helped me to anchor my awareness and enjoyment of the moment. Writing about it here helps strengthen them even more.
Instead of training myself to be hypereware of triggers and focusing on dysregulation, I experience my connection with the glimmers in my life growing, which strengthens my resilience and pleasure. I like starting the new year off with such a powerful upgrade.
This is so very timely, because today, I felt so happy and calm while I was out shopping. I texted a friend that I felt like I loved myself. After writing an entry in my diary, I discovered why:
I was entirely present in the moment, and taking in all of the colors, fragrances and people. It felt like the perfect day.
Was driving over Mt. Cheaha last late afternoon as the sun was setting just behind the mountain & the cloud formation was spectacular…wow, I thought…just W O W !!!
I was So excited watching the end of a football game. Caught myself saying out loud, this Has to end! Then. I took a nice breath. I relaxed my shoulders. I enjoyed the rest of the game.
Thanks. I turned a way too nervous moment into a glimmer. It was shiny and calm.
That's why i never watch any sports games! Will try to start watching and just enjoy the game
This morning's glimmer happened while I was sitting in my reiki/yoga room with my twinkle lights and a RUclips ambience video playing while I sipped my root chakra tea. So lovely and peaceful :)
Standing or sitting in the sunshine is my fav.
I’ve had so many glimmers the past 4 days it’s amazing! I simply let myself take things in with more senses or allow myself to be inspired
Love this. We are so trigger obsessed… but also - Thank God. For every blessing. (Not just nature or the universe)
❤ the glimmers. Starting to experience more and more of these! So very thankful! ✌️❤️🙌
A simple conversation with the cashier about Reeses and Twix bars. How we each like candy for different things. We were laughing, and it felt good to talk about the simple things in life.
I always think my partner is special and we've been together for years now, but there are moments when I look at him and I'm just filled with this overwhelming sense of him being the most beautiful person I've ever known, and that I wished I believed in an afterlife because I love him so much that one lifetime doesn't seem enough.
Another example is looking at my garden and the fruit trees we've planted and feeling so proud and joyful and excited about the coming years.
My brain has a lot of low times so it's nice to remember that it's not all the time, there are moments of happiness.
I like to get up early, go outside, take a deep breath of the early morning air, feeling and smelling the freshness of a young day. Really feeling the moment.
Staring into the eyes of my lover and feeling safe and secure. ❤
Looking into the sweet, loving eyes of a friend's sweet German Shepherd dog.
I sit out in the sun every single day! I've never heard of glimmers. But I do all of the activities you suggested regularly. I will be more intentional with noticing them now that I know what they are. Thanks!
Yay! Positive content on RUclips. Thanks, algorithm, for giving me something I actually want. Thanks, Holistic Psychology for your hard work and sharing your knowledge!
Thank you
Never heard of them but its good to have a title and discription for the ‘good moments’……. We have all heard of ‘triggers’ nice to be able to balance them with ‘glimmers’ now :)
Breathe em in and smile………
My daughter wants to work on her mental health this year and I will help her start it off by bringing her this video and attempting to open her mind to this practice. I believe in it so much, noticing the small happy moments, realizing I’m peaceful in a moment, consciously practicing gratitude. I swear it keeps me sane despite dealing with anxiety, etc. Small, relaxing, healing, rejuvenating moments are precious.
Telling my 19 month old son how much I love being his mom as I was giving him his good night hug 🥹
I've been doing this for years, as ritual, enjoy sitting with a cup of coffee with a view of the sunrise sky or a garden, to have a few moments of inner deflections 1st thing in the morning. That ritual grounds me , so i can begin my day calm & collected.
I'm grateful for my best friend. I love him. He is wonderful.
I love this! Although I regularly have glimmers, I never thought to deliberately practice it on a regular basis. Today, I’m enjoying having the day off to myself at home.
So thankful and grateful to God for seeing the total solar eclipse today in person, it was so awe inspiring. Just amazing.
Wow. I just realised I've been doing this instinctively since childhood without knowing what it was called, re-living positive memories just to cope
My last glimmer was this morning as I watered my baby plants that will soon grow the food I need. That little tiny seed I planted about 4 weeks ago is now a 8” tomato plant and I’m so excited to see it grow!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about glimmers. It truly is a game changer. 💝
I love this. Thank you.
I work outside all day as a Letter Carrier. Too many things to name. Here are a few I see often. Parent/child interaction. A genuine smile from someone. Beautiful gardens, nature, animals or astronomical things like a huge blood red moon rise. Warm breeze and beautiful snow when it's safe. And much more.
Thank you. Spending time in nature is definitely a major one. Reading is wonderful and so is culinary. Anything that gives a positive sensation as opposed to a negative.
My glimmers are... Going on morning walks in my university and saying good morning or namaste to the strangers I meet.. Finding a place when I can stand and soak in the sun...
Lighting a diya in the night and praying.
I have been experiencing this, at least I think it's what you're teaching here, since I was a kid. It happens during the "kind interaction with a stranger" moment but not as often as I'd like. To me it feels like complete honesty is being revealed. The other person's soul is open and beautiful radiating it toward me. I don't think the other person feels it at the same time. I've never heard it called this before and whenever I ask someone if they ever feel it they have no clue what I'm talking about. It doesn't compare to any other feeling I can think of except for maybe that last second before general anethsesia takes affect. LOL It's more than just a calming joyful moment for me. It's a full body, mind and soul experience. My head is fuzzy, my body is warm and relaxed and I feel as though I'm taking on the soul/spirit of the other person in a good way. I feel somewhat stunned and have a hard time talking during it. I can keep it going for a while after they're gone, but that's it after that. It feels like angelic kindness. Like my soul has loved there's in another lifetime. Hard to explain but there you go!
Christmas lights. I have one room where I keep them up because I noticed they help with anxiety and SAD. Didn’t have a word for it. But they’re glimmer lights now❤
This video is a glimmer! Thank you!
Thank you for illustrating such a positive tool and without dressing it in pop culture terms that minimize impact.
When i look around my house and appreciate matching and cohesive colors and decoration.
Can you please make a video or even a series about C-PTSD and how to heal it? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Today's glimmers ~✨️ the warmth of the sun this morning & a text from my son this afternoon ✨️
I share your videos with my clients! Thank you for what you do!
Well I had no idea what I was going into clicking on this video, but now I know what you mean by Glimmer, and I felt a bit of that because the title of the video literally just reminded me of Spyro 2 Gateway to Glimmer, which made me feel safe and happy for a brief moment.
So this what more effective for me on proving a point to me than it has any right to be.
But now I will be practicing Glimmers and try to be aware of those now.
Your tapes are so insightful for learning. I feel no judgement when listening it's knowledge & education at its best. Thanks for the glimmer moment.
You have parsed all of this and chosen just the right words to explain it. Thank you!
Finally! Something positive to change our perception! Thank you❣️
Having a nap in the middle of the day helps me calm down and experience glimmers more often afterwards. Unfortunately, naps aren't always possible.
Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t know the term “glimmer” but I’m definitely grateful to have learned it. It will make the focused practice easier to root.
Life is beautiful. Life is precious. Life is a gift. Cherish every moment.
Focus on the beauty of simply being present and alive. The definition of Namasté is a glimmer for me.
I bow to the divine in you. My soul honors your soul. I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are one.
Glimmer today- finding a window of time to relax and read a new book.
