ARTArticleFacing Our FearsWhen I was a child I was very good at football and baseball. Since it was the seventies, and while women’s lib has began to change things for those of us of the female persuasion, little league was still off limits to me. It would be another few years, before I ever saw a girl playing on an organized team filled with boys. Even though I was good enough, I had to sit on the sidelines.ARTArticleFairy Tale MarriageThe Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen became the script of my fairy tale marriage.ARTArticleFAVORITE MEDITATIONS AND MANTRASWhat is meditation? By my definition, it's any practice, technique or trick that quiets the mind and allows one to just BE. The goal of meditation is to experience at least a taste of pure bliss. This level of cosmic consciousness is described by a multitude of labels in different spiritual traditions including: Enlightenment, satori (a glimpse of enlightenment), one taste or the non-dual state, samadhi, moksha, heaven or nirvana, Satchitananda--pure truth, consciousness, bliss--being one with the Tao,and many more.ARTArticleFeel EmpoweredYou are empowered, whether you believe it or not, to create success in every aspect of your life. You must first choose to be happy in your own state of mind. “But I’m not happy,” you say? Why not? No one is making you unhappy. In fact, no one or nothing has the power to make you feel any certain way. If you are blaming others for your feelings of lack and regret, then truly you are wallowing in your own pity pool. Step away from the anger, rise above your feelings of injustice and turn those powerful emotions into something inspiring, motivating and productive.ARTArticleFeeling your way to enlightenmentSomething challenging has come up between you and someone close to you and you're not sure what the most life-giving and healing approach is to such a situation. Life can be so darn complicated, at least sometimes, right? Who hasn't had this arise in their experience? Few, if any, of us, I am sure. It is easy to get caught up in our story about the issue and our story about the people involved in the issue.ARTArticleFeelingsIt’s likely the most consistently sought after ‘thing’ by practitioners of every modality of energy therapy. It would be difficult (impossible in my own practice) to make significant headway in any session without primary attendance to it. It, of course, is your feelings. There’s an expression from a personal growth speaker (wish I could remember which one?), that pretty much crystallizes that understanding . . .ARTArticleFinding Happiness in NatureFinding Happiness in Nature When I was young, a childhood friend told me that if I held a buttercup beneath my chin, and my chin glowed yellow, it meant that I liked butter. Now, I tried the buttercup experiment, and sure enough, my chin glowed yellow. It was such a silly little amusement, but I remember smiling to myself knowing that a simple flower could say so much about me.ARTArticleFinding our Inner GodIf you’ve been following my blog, you know that I recently had the pleasure of spending several weeks in Europe. My days were bright and beautiful, full from morning to night. I ate gelato with my daughter in Rome. I traveled to the countryside, visited glorious museums, reconnected with old friends, and created new ones. I drank barrels of cappuccinos at intimate cafes and talked up a storm with cousins and aunts and uncles I hadn’t seen in years. Every waking moment burst with light; every waking moment was invigorating. A part of me didn’t want it to end.ARTArticleFive Ways to Bring Fun and Humor to the WorkplaceBob Pike, author of "The Fun Minute Manager" , explains that bosses need to lighten up and that they should strive to create an office culture that is fun and enjoyable. He adds that bringing fun into the workplace reduces employee turnover, increases creativity and innovation, makes employees more productive, and it’s good for the bottom line. A fun work environment is one in which regular activities are scheduled that are designed to uplift people’s spirits and remind them of their value to their boss and to the organization as a whole.ARTArticleFour simple steps to making your dreams a reality!Have you ever set a goal and then wondered why it never happens? I am an ambitious person and I get really excited about the idea of creating a life that is inspiring, fun and abundant with success and opportunities. I’m sure you are too. I used to have a habit of writing down my ideas and goals in a book, but then never doing anything with them. A few months later I would write down the same goals again, and over and over again I would never manage to achieve them.ARTArticleFreedom in FebruaryFreedom: In humans, the power or capacity to choose among alte atives or to act in certain situations independently of natural, social, or divine restraints. Brittanica Online In America, we equate the celebration of freedom with July, the month of the signing of the Declaration of Independence from King George. After the Civil War, all Americans born on our soil experienced freedom as their birthright. Our founding fathers no longer wanted us to experience freedom FROM something, rather the freedom TO choose one’s own way.ARTArticleGentle Letting GoI sometimes have a potty mouth and I tend to fall easily into negative words when my spiritual tank is a quart low. I am getting better and better at recognizing when my language and thoughts are not in alignment with how I want to show up in the world as a minister.ARTArticleGossip and CriticismPssst. Hey, did you hear about so and so? Yeah, can you believe it? She is so disgusting. He is such an ass. What a jerk. She is such a slut. He is just a drunk. While I have had my share of conversations with these terms in them it makes me very uncomfortable to write them and see them on paper. It’s hard to admit that I have said things like this but it’s just the truth of who I once was. I don’t like it. I don’t want to admit it to you and I certainly don’t want to be a person who talks like this about others.ARTArticleGratitude & AbundanceThe Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching. As such, this is traditionally a time for reflection and for the giving of thanks for all that we have in our lives. Unfortunately, our modern day interpretation has been muddled a bit. With all the football games blasting on the television sets, as well as the never ending sea of food that fills our stomachs until we can no longer button up our pants, it's no wonder we have lost site of what this holiday is really about.ARTArticleGreen Tea Aids In Fat Weight LossGreen tea has been around for thousands of years and is more popular than ever. For centuries green tea has been a staple in the diets of many families around the world and have been part of some fast weight loss tips. And the benefits of this beverage are not just limited to a pleasant drinking taste. Numerous scientific studies have shown that green tea has numerous health benefits and that drinking it can improve your health. The idea of health benefits related to green tea consumption has been discussed for years.ARTArticleHeal Your Life with Transpersonal or Spiritual HypnotherapyTranspersonal Hypnotherapy or Spiritual Hypnotherapy as it is more commonly known, is one of the most powerful healing tools around today and has been used for centuries. The ancient Egyptians utilised the power of trance in their healing temples, where they practiced soul whispering, restoring the subconscious mind to its connection with the soul and thereby conditioning the mind to heal. Spiritual Hypnotherapy is a holistic therapy, embracing Mind, Body & Spirit.ARTArticleHIBE ATEAs the winter solstice approaches and the days are becoming shorter, it fascinates me how once again I am in need of more sleep tha I do during the spring and summer months. As do so many I played by the rules of linear time for decades, setting my alarm clock at a certain time to blast me up and out of bed. Interestingly enough when the days are longer I wake up naturally around 4:00 to 5:00 am, having to turn off the alarm before it scares me while sipping my morning tea making me jump and throw hot water to all corners of the room.ARTArticleHINDSIGHT IS 20/20A friend of mine is currently going through a rough break-up. Her emotions are all over the place. She wants to move-on from her partner, but she is confused. Her ex is being nice to her lately, so she is thinking that she should take him back. She says she is seeing the person she fell in love with that she hasn’t seen in a long time. As an outside observer I can honestly say that these two have argued over the years since the first time I saw them together a decade ago. But my friend is wavering.ARTArticleHo'oponopono - Letting Go of FearOur reality includes all our programs, memories, beliefs, attachments, emotions, and expectations. These have been gathered through many years. We have been blind and deaf for eons of time. We are completely drugged, looking for love, approval and appreciation in the wrong places and from the wrong people. We search for success, power and material things, thinking that they will "make" us happy. We tend to try to change people because we think if they change, we'll be happy.ARTArticleHo'oponopono: Addictions and MemoriesAddictions are memories, so no matter what our memories are about, we can erase them and let them go. You may be thinking, "But I don’t have an addictive personality," or "I don't have any addictions!" I would like to invite you to reconsider these assumptions. Did you know that thinking is an addiction? We are addicted to thinking. We truly fear that we cannot function properly unless we "think things out", when in reality, things can flow and work much better if we simply let go and trust the Universe. Food is another acceptable addiction.ARTArticleHo'oponopono: MemoriesMy teacher, Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len, says we come with the whole thing. Do you know what he means by this? He means when you were born you came full of memories from previous lifetimes and those memories begin replaying the minute you are born. Let me ask you a question, when you go to the movies, is the movie on the screen or coming from the projector? People and situations are like screens. We try to convince the screen we are right. We want the screen to change, but we can't change what is on the screen. If we want things to change on our screen, we need to change. The movie is in us.ARTArticleHooked on Food: Our Emotional Connections to EatingIf there were no other reason for eating other than to fuel our body, would we ever overdose on turnips? Liver and onions? Pickled tongue? Probably not! Then what is it that makes us want to eat an entire bag of candy, a plateful of spaghetti, a super-sized Big Mac and fries, or a box of doughnuts when we are unhappy or bored?ARTArticleHow an Intuitive Coach helps read between the Tea LeavesWouldn’t it be nice if we could all see into our own futures? Wouldn’t it be even nicer if we had someone cheering us on along the sidelines telling us what direction to take and how to take it? Well, in a way, that is what professional intuitive coaches do for their clients. A reputable intuitive coach will be able to streamline client goals and whip them into professional shape to create genuine and sustainable success in life without all the extra baggage that’s been carried around for way too long.ARTArticleHow Cooperation Melts ResistanceHave you noticed there seems to be a widening gap between positive and negative experiences recently? If I am in cooperation and collaboration mode, everything runs so smoothly, even magically. The converse is also glaringly evident; when I am pushing my agenda, without sharing my goals and vision, I meet increasing resistance. The old paradigms of competition and “us v. them” are crumbling rapidly as the new paradigms of cooperation and collaboration are shining forth in ever expanding possibilities.ARTArticleHow Earth Energy (Gaia) Can Heal YouIn recent years my energy healing focus has shifted rather dramatically. For decades, like many healers and meditators, I have predominantly been using cosmic energy or life force which enters through the mind and the crown chakra and then enters the body via the chakra system. Earth Mother Yet there is another healing source, or focus, and just this past year she has become a powerhouse of healing potential. I am referring to our very own Mother Earth, as we have entered a golden age of Gaia, the Earth goddess.ARTArticleHow To Be A True HeroYou’ve seen it hundreds of times. Some guy is being interviewed by the local news after he helped prevent some crime or rescued someone in distress. The reporter asks, “Do you consider yourself a hero?” Apparently, this question must be asked in order to test whether or not said person is in fact a hero. According to local news rules of heroism, the man is only a hero, if and only if, he claims to not be one. Most people, knowing this rule, go on to say that they don’t consider themselves to be a hero because they just did what anyone in their situation would’ve done.ARTArticleHow to Boost Your Self-EsteemHow to Boost Your Self Esteem by Jodi-A Walker "If you have no confidence in self you are twice defeated in the race of life.” "With confidence, you have won the race before you have started.” -Marcus Garvey Confidence and having a powerful self-image is very important.

Self esteem encourages you when everything and everyone else does not.ARTArticleHow to Bring Out the Best in OthersFran’s husband had a habit of tossing his dirty socks into the laundry basket, but frequently missing by a few inches and having them land on the floor, where they would usually stay. It really frustrated Fran when she had to pick up his clothing and place it in the basket, even though she’d mentioned this problem to Tom several times. After learning the techniques of behavior modification, Fran decided to stop nagging her husband and try positive reinforcement. When he missed the basket, she said nothing and quietly picked up his socks.ARTArticleHow to Change Your Mindset to Accept and Plan for SuccessHow to Change Your Mindset to Accept and Plan for Success by Jodi-A Walker Success is attainable and achievable for anyone who has the mindset to receive it. Many people have not attained success because they have not prepared for, that is because if you fail to plan you plan to fail, or they subconsciously believe that they are undeserving of success. These are the people who I want to address first.ARTArticleHow to Deepen Your Awareness in Mindfulness Meditation"You grow in awareness by becoming conscious of what is unconscious in mindfulness meditation. You have been meditating for years thinking your mind is still in meditation, and then suddenly you see you have been lost in your thinking the whole time without even knowing it. Because of our conditioning, the tendency is to feel down about yourself, to feel like this realization that you have been unconscious for so long means you have failed.
