Understanding the chakras
We have several layers of energy that surround our physical body known as the auric field. This energy system holds our past, present and future.
My Call To Adventure
In 2003 I had my gall bladder removed. It was one year following the birth of my youngest son. I was 33 years old. As an energy worker I am well aware that issues with a gallbladder are related to anger turned inward. The gallbladder is located in the solar plexus energy center, and it is where we move our energy out into the world. It’s mantra is I decidehow to direct my energy and in those days I did not feel like I could.
What's a practical use of Feng Shui?
Who
I woke one morning with the urge to purge. I felt compelled to declutter my bonus room. It is what I like to call a flex room. Here, things are stored, gifts are wrapped, weights are lifted, air mattresses are inflated. When we moved in, we used it for an overflow space until we could mentally deal with the items in those boxes. Now, eight months later, it is time to face the music. I ordered a few cabinets to control the chaos last fall, but since then the clutter started spilling out, creeping into the corners and climbing up the walls making that room my kryptonite.
Splitting Prisms
Remember jumping rope on the playground? Two kids (usually tall ones) would swing the ropes setting the cadence of the game. We would study and memorize the rhythm as the ropes slapped the pavement creating a beat that we would attempt to replicate in our body. Then, just at the right moment: ready, set, GO we would jump in!
Personal Finance: Conquer Debt Anxiety and Take Control
Are you, like many Americans, managing debt? What kind of debt are you managing: credit cards? Loans? For some people, the experience of managing debt may be daunting. There may be physical and psychological elements involved which may impact the debt management experience.
Be a Seeker Not a Finder
I have a son that I would categorically say is the worst finder known to man. His inability to locate items was most notable during his high school years. What started as a “buddy can you bring me…” evolved into “I will get it myself!”, with explicit instructions in between that I dare say any stranger off the street could have found in two seconds flat. But my guy? No way, no how. At first, I thought it was a ploy to keep from having to help out. But I realized over time, that he simply did not want to visualize my directions, or the missing item as his head was filled with his own ideas, something that now serves him quite well.
How to deal with triggers of past trauma
I have spent the better part of my week in class for four hours a day speaking French. Learning from a native speaker who is aware of the challenges that English speakers of French encounter has been a godsend. Steve on the other hand, has spent his time investigating the gardens of nearby villages. Not one to let a language barrier stop his quest for peace and solitude in nature, he stopped in at the local office of tourism and picked up a brochure of the various gardens within a forty-five-minute radius.
Trust the Process
I finished my last day of school and rushed home to grab an hour in the sun. What I used to take for granted has now become a precious commodity after spending a year teaching in a windowless classroom. It has amazed me how much I enjoy the warmth, the light and the energy the sun offers.
Personal Finance: Something to Talk About
Personal finance, like life, is highly individualized. Since it is individualized, what works for one person may not be appropriate for another person. While this does not mean that we avoid talking about personal finance, it does mean we have an opportunity to frame the topic of personal finance in a way that invites intellectual exploration rather than immediate action.
