Guided Meditation – Finding Peace in Chaos
In our fast-paced world, it is increasingly difficult to relax and de-stress. We pull up the internet and Google can return 22 million results in less than a second. This constant barrage of information, along with the hustle and bustle of our tech-driven era is enough to make anyone anxious. So how do you find calm amid the daily chaos? Guided meditation is one of the ways I most often recommend to my clients. All of my in-house Reiki sessions include guided meditation as part of the process and it has made a huge difference in helping people relax and come down out of fight/flight mode and be able to…

What Are Flower Essences?
A flower essence session enhances the individual’s awareness of personal patterns by dilute flower preparations. This is accomplished by giving the individual a conscious opportunity to continue or change the way they do things. An individual no longer needs flower essences after change and growth have occurred. There is a theory that the frequency of the life energy of a particular flower affects the frequency of the life energy in people, bringing vibrations that are out of balance into balance. Everything in the universe carries a vibration including colors, sounds, and organs in the body. Some even say flower essences work in the same way as a synchronizing tuning fork,…

Grief – Surviving the Holidays
Many struggle through the holidays carrying a burden of grief. It may be grief caused by the death of a loved one, or it may be the loss of a way of life (divorce, break-up, job loss, career change), it could be the diagnosis of a terminal illness, or any life-altering event. There are 7 stages of grief and we need to work through each of them to move forward: shock and denial, pain and guilt, anger and bargaining, depression, the upward turn, reconstruction and working through, acceptance and hope. Grief is very personal. Some people work through them faster than others and the order is not the same for…

Happiness and Health: The Two Most Important Things in Life
The world appears to be obsessed with money and material things. Keeping up appearances … the size of your house, the type of car you drive, and even where you travel on your holidays … has many folks trying to do one better do their friends and family. I find this sad and disheartening. I have a friend who is like those mentioned above. His thoughts are consumed with money. He is always talking about money … how to earn it, how to spend it, how much he doesn’t have, how much “so and so” makes, all the things he’ll change when he wins the lottery, etc. He spends more on…

Is It REALLY Worth It?
Sometimes we just don’t realize how much food has to do with our body aches and state of mind. I hopefully learned a lesson over the past couple of days. I’ve been busy the past few days and I ate more prepared foods than I normally do. I don’t fix fancy meals, but I usually work mostly from scratch and use as much organic as possible. We have a couple of Aldi stores close to us which makes organic options affordable. I also find I feel better if I limit starches. Let’s just say that my diet earlier this week was anything but normal for me and I felt the…

Cord Cutting
Cord Cutting First, a bit about entanglement or cords: Our energy field can look something like this mass of electrical wires in the photo. Quantum Entanglement is the concept that two people, no matter how physically far apart they may be, can still be connected by an invisible cord of energy. The space between you and any other person/object may appear empty, but it is full of energy. You have living energy, your spouse or partner has energy, the lamp has electrical energy, and even the sofa has potential energy. The energy in the spaces between generally just passes through the other energy. It slides on by without causing more…

Celebrate Sleep Awareness Week
Sometimes getting a full night’s sleep seems impossible to achieve. No matter what the cause – stress, pain, your work schedule or another reason – if you are not receiving regular, quality sleep it can interfere with your health. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says, “Insufficient sleep is associated with a number of chronic diseases and conditions – such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression – all of which threaten our nation’s health.” Sleep Awareness Week (March 10-16) gives us an opportunity to leave insufficient sleep behind and get back to the quality sleep that is so vital to our health and well-being. Here are a few ways…

My Dragonflies
I almost never saw a dragonfly until about 10 years ago when I started seeing them ALL the time. They would often be in my back yard and linger around the deck by my patio door in addition to showing up by my car wherever it was parked at work or while shopping. The night I saw hundreds of them around the building where I was attending a meeting, I decided it was time to pay attention. When we see things in our everyday life that differ from the norm, the creator/universe is trying to tell us to “take note” and pay attention. I firmly believe that there is something…

What Are You Aware Of?
It seems like every week and month we’re exposed to (or bombarded with?) new Awareness Campaigns. The internet has connected, and educated, us with ever-increasing speed and depth. Because of awareness campaigns we know more about brain injury, the need for clean water (both domestically and throughout the world, the importance of net neutrality, and how to support people with cancer. We can take action and be a part of the causes we care about. This awareness can also be overwhelming. It can be tough to choose which causes to support, and in that deluge of need, we may choose to support nothing. Or we burn ourselves out supporting everything.…
