The term holistic implies treating the patient as a whole person, thus in this approach the individual's overall physical, mental, spiritual and emotional wellbeing are taken into consideration.

We are all part of the miraculous unfolding.ARTArticleThe 3 Biggest Mistakes Spiritual Entrepreneurs Make"The economy has really hit me hard," Marilyn told me. "I just don't know what I'm going to do. I work so hard, but I don't seem to be getting where I want to go."

I hope things have been not so dramatic, but just as awesome and transformative for you too!ARTArticleThe Brain Rehearsal Technique (through harnessing the power of intention)The word “intention” is used in many ways.

It is often mind-boggling how God works. I mean, I’ve heard this song a million times before, as we all have, but it wasn’t until recently something inside stilled me. The more I really listened to the words did the picture adjust to clear focus.ARTArticleThe Key To Successful Recovery of Your Marriage Is Within YouThe key to successfully recovering the love that has eroded is within you. The fun that you once shared together can happen again. The robust sense of "us" that colored the choices you made on a daily basis can be restored. The ability to accomplish these things is within each partner. The key to restoring marital happiness is not dependent upon what your partner is doing.

It is not even about how much time you spend together.ARTArticleThe Simple Things in Recovery From AddictionThose of us who no longer rely on alcohol and drugs to make us ‘feel ok’ know how important it is to keep our eyes on the ball.

It is something we tune into." Wayne Dyer Do you believe that The Universe conspires for us and wants us to succeed?

Are You?The world is changing at lightning speed. We know this and since everything is our mirror, I wonder how many of us are reflecting this change internally? Are we embracing new ways of doing, seeing and being in our world or is it the same old, same old?

Most importantly, are we simply behaving as if we are a bystander of our own life?ARTArticleThese Famous People with ADHD May Surprise YouDoes it surprise you to learn that Howie Mandel has ADHD?

I faced this question over ten years ago when I first started my business. I was terrified, and at the time, I was a single mom to a teen-age daughter. Seriously ... what if I couldn't build my business? But I had two things going for me: 1. My desire to create my business was stronger than my fear of failing.r ARTArticleWhat Is Ecotherapy?Ecotherapy is really an umbrella term for a whole variety of nature-based therapies which utilise an experiential connection with nature as a major part of the therapeutic process.ARTArticleWhat is Right aboutYou?“What is right about you?” is a basic resiliency strengthening question.
