We are Spiritual Beings having a physical experience, and we 
have at our disposal three tools to use. If we are aware of these
tools, we can use them to our advantage and create healing for
ourselves. 
I invite you to watch this 10 minute video to help you gain some
clarity on your spiritual journey.

So after watching the video are you able to discern your "type", and can you identify
which tool you need to integrate more for your healing? Please share below any a-ha's or 
comments.

And if you find this content valuable, please like and share!

What Would I Say???

11/14/2013

Comments

 
Well if you're not sure, you'll want to read this!

That moment when you want to say something in a Facebook status but you are too tired, lazy or unimaginative to create something worthy of your friends hitting the like button. Now, there's an app for that.

"What would I say?", created by a group of Princeton grad students, generates status updates for users by running old statuses through a bot, reports The New Yorker. (Read the full article here.)

There are a few things about this article that I'd like to address. Specifically that so many people are feeling tired, lazy and unimaginative! Ever wonder why that is??? I sure do! Especially since I see so many of my clients and students coming to me with the same symptoms. So let's see if we can get to the underlying cause.

Let's start with "laziness", which is a sure sign that we are uninspired. When people have lost their light, their drive, their passion, then life becomes meaningless. And when life feels meaningless we succumb to a laissez-faire attitude towards our own life which leads to just getting by on the bare minimum. But we are NOT lazy by nature! 

These days many people complain about being "tired" which is a sign we are not taking good care of ourselves. We might not be getting enough sleep, eating enough energy producing foods, or getting enough exercise. Or it may be that we are NOT living our dream and this sham of a life we are living is sucking the life out of us!

People who are "unimaginative" have lost their ability to believe. They have forgotten that they are the child of the supreme Creator, and that creativity is an innate part of their essence. They think that "if I see it, then I'll believe it", but the TRUTH is:
Once you believe it, then you will see it!

So here is today's challenge...
  1. To overcome laziness, declare something you are passionate about (a cause, a person, an event, anything!), and post one thing you are going to do TODAY to support it! Then DO IT. :-)
  2. To overcome being tired, get clear about what it is you need to be doing to take better care of yourself. Share with us below what you will do, then DO IT. :-)
  3. To overcome being unimaginative, take 15 minutes and do something you loved to do when you were a kid...drawing, coloring, singing, dancing, playing an instrument, laying in the grass under the clouds looking for different shapes, anything! Then share with us what you did. Now, DO IT. :-)


I bet you'll have lots to say and share when you complete this challenge! We don't need no app!!!

Have You Fed Your Soul Today?

11/8/2013

Comments

  1. Many of my students and clients ask me about my spiritual practice. They want to know what it is I do every day to keep myself aligned with God. I will tell you what I tell them...I feed my soul EVERY day!

    What that looks like on a day to day basis can vary. Some days I read for a couple of hours, on others I have an extended yoga practice, and on other days it could be anything from a candlelit bubble bath, to dancing in my living room! Last night for example, I watched an amazing movie. (Click here to see it)
There are a few things I do daily (and suggest you do too):


  1. I journal to God about my current challenges, blessings, and
    prayers.
  2. I read from the text of A Course in Miracles, and do a
    meditation from the workbook.
  3. I share my love and knowledge
    through blog posts.
Other than that I simply pay attention. It's just my perspective may be slightly different. For example when I look upon the tragedies of the world, I try to see them through the eyes of God. When I hear criticisms from others, I try to hear God's message in the words. I know that God loves us and is constantly reminding us of that. The problem is most of us aren't paying attention.

And we aren't paying attention because our soul's are barely hanging on because they haven't been fed in a while!!! So I challenge you this weekend to FEED YOUR SOUL. Dance, sing, play, or use the link above and watch a movie, but promise me you will do something you love! After you do, please share it with us below.

With love & light,

Meditation: The Heart of Holistic Health

11/7/2013

Meditation can wipe away the day's stress, bringing with it
inner peace. See how you can easily learn to practice meditation whenever you
need it most.  By Mayo Clinic staff
 
If stress has you anxious, tense and worried, consider trying meditation.
Spending even a few minutes in meditation can restore your calm and inner peace. 
 
Anyone can practice meditation. It's simple and inexpensive, and it doesn't
require any special equipment. And you can practice meditation wherever you are
— whether you're out for a walk, riding the bus, waiting at the doctor's office
or even in the middle of a difficult business meeting.


Understanding meditation
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Meditation originally
was meant to help deepen understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of
life. These days, meditation is commonly used for relaxation and stress
reduction.


Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary medicine.
Meditation produces a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind. During
meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled
thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process results
in enhanced physical and emotional well-being.


Benefits of meditation
Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that benefits both
your emotional well-being and your overall health. And these benefits don't end
when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly
through your day and can even improve certain medical conditions.


Meditation and emotional well-being
When you meditate, you clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes
to your stress.

10 Principles of Holistic Health

11/6/2013

Comments

 
Picture
      From the American Holistic Medical Association:
    1. 1. Optimal Health is the primary goal of holistic medical
      practice. It is the conscious pursuit of the highest level of functioning
      and balance of the physical, environmental, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of human experience, resulting in a dynamic state of being fully alive. This creates a condition of well-being regardless of the presence or absence of disease.
       

    2. The Healing Power of Love. Holistic health care
      practitioners strive to meet the patient with grace, kindness, acceptance, and
      spirit without condition, as love is life’s most powerful
      healer.
       

    3. Whole Person. Holistic health care practitioners view
      people as the unity of body, mind, spirit and the systems in which they
      live.
       

    4. Prevention and Treatment. Holistic health care
      practitioners promote health, prevent illness and help raise awareness of
      dis-ease in our lives rather than merely managing symptoms. A holistic approach
      relieves symptoms, modifies contributing factors, and enhances the patient’s
      life system to optimize future well-being.
       

    5. Innate Healing Power. All people have innate powers of
      healing in their bodies, minds and spirits. Holistic health care practitioners
      evoke and help patients utilize these powers to affect the healing
      process.
       

    6. Integration of Healing Systems. Holistic health care
      practitioners embrace a lifetime of learning about all safe and effective
      options in diagnosis and treatment. These options come from a variety of
      traditions, and are selected in order to best meet the unique needs of the
      patient. The realm of choices may include lifestyle modification and
      complementary approaches as well as conventional drugs and
      surgery.
       

    7. Relationship-centered Care. The ideal practitioner-patient
      relationship is a partnership which encourages patient autonomy, and values the
      needs and insights of both parties. The quality of this relationship is an
      essential contributor to the healing process.
       

    8. Individuality. Holistic health care practitioners focus
      patient care on the unique needs and nature of the person who has an illness
      rather than the illness that has the person. 
       

    9. Teaching by Example. Holistic health care practitioners
      continually work toward the personal incorporation of the principles of holistic
      health, which then profoundly influence the quality of the healing
      relationship.
        

    10. Learning Opportunities. All life experiences including
      birth, joy, suffering and the dying process are profound learning opportunities
      for both patients and health care practitioners.
