ARTArticleDo you feel out of control?“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” Charles Swindoll This weekend I have had to stop, take a deep breath and reclaim my sanity. My son is ill. He is now into his third week off school with no clear answers as to what is wrong with him. He has been for numerous tests and I, as a holistic therapist,have been refraining from treating him until all his test results are back which will hopefully be later. Frustrating.ARTArticleDoes the Sun and the “Son” bathe the earth with love and light at Christmas time?According to the book "Mystery of the Christos" by Corinne Heline the Christ Spirit has four aspects: cosmic, planetary, historical and mystical.

From my near-death research and my personal experiences, death is, in my judgment, simply a transition into another kind of reality." - Dr. Raymond Moody Most people fear death. Although we know that death is inevitable, there is often a difference between what we believe intellectually and what we experience emotionally. Why is this so? It would seem that such a universal experience could be met with acceptance. Instead, at least in American culture, we often think of death as a failure. Some people don’t even want to talk about it.ARTArticleDreams: Our Night CounselorsThere is a world that everyone visits every night that, to most people, is invisible and intangible. It is a world of relationships, reconnecting with old friends, meeting strangers who seem familiar, sometimes falling in love. In this place, we can experience things we’ve never seen or touched in our physical life. It can seem supe atural, mystical or otherworldly. It’s a place where blind people can see, people who are paralyzed can walk, people can fly without an airplane. This is the world of dreams.ARTArticleEveryday MiraclesWhat if miracles were an everyday occurrence – something to create and enjoy in daily life?ARTArticleExpand your sources & your methodsMany people continue to ask the timeless questions, “why am I here? And what is my mission?” A lack of insight into the authentic self can be prevent you from a more solid health and well-being. This is because energy imbalance is perpetuated by emotions you create inside; i.e., tension, anger, frustration, worry, confusion, depression and fatigue etc. What can you do about it?

From the moment you wake up until the moment you fall asleep you make choices. What to wear, what to eat, to floss or not you are making decisions, consciously and unconsciously, all the time. However, people suffering with negative thoughts, feelings of low self worth and a negative Attitude believe they have no choice in how they ultimately feel about themselves. This is just not so!

I had taken along a good book to read and was just finishing a cup of coffee when a young women sat down at the table next to me. She was speaking loudly and rapidly making multiple calls on her cell phone, updating her staff, calling her kids, making dinner plans, hair appointments and sales calls.

At other times, we distance ourselves or somebody we are with decides to distance himself or herself from us.

The act of self forgiveness helps us to let go of the past. This is essential as we enter our new beginnings in the year 2013. The Oxford English dictionary defines forgiveness as such: “to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt.” We usually associate forgiveness with our need to forgive others.

This calls for the act of forgiving self.ARTArticleFour Holistic Methods to Release AngerAnger-although a normal emotion that can be a powerful signal that something is wrong--can be a very uncomfortable feeling.

I know that many of you are plagued by this question.

I bet you’ve caught yourself a time or two saying things like, “I’ll be happy when I lose 25 pounds,” or “I’ll be happy when I find Mr. Right,” or “I’ll be happy when I am living in my dream home,” or “I’ll be happy when my husband changes his attitude.” It doesn’t work like that.ARTArticleGetting past your limiting beliefsWe are all living in a collective momentum of our past. It hasn't been till recently that there has been such a broad interest in diverse ideas and beliefs. If you imagine the 1950's, the entire nation was walking in step with one collective attitude towards the direction our society should go. If you were not totally, 100% patriotic, then you were possibly the enemy. Yet if we look at the history of mankind, over the ages, we can quickly see that our collective beliefs have been changing and evolving.ARTArticleGetting Rid of Stress - And Whose Stress is it Anyway?Sages, past and present, teach that there is nothing that we really need, that we are whole, connected beings of great beauty, strength and light. It is the covering over of this reality with identification with the ego-mind which tells us we are separate from All That Is. The denser energies of doubt, fear, isolation and "not good enough" shroud our bigness and our light. Additionally, many of the modern day prophets and wisdom-holders tell us that we are in amazing transformational times, with portals to new and higher dimensions opening up at ever increasing rates.ARTArticleGift Giving Made EasyHere we are again, in a ricochet betwee Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah (and if you have a spouse or sweetheart, on to Valentine’s Day). If you are like me and most of my friends, part of your copious spare time is spent making mental or written lists of what you want to give to whom. The commercial world counts on your feeling guilty enough to buy something for everyone you have ever met in your life – or at least, that’s what it feels like sometimes.ARTArticleGiving and Receivng Joy and Letting it GoTimothy Freke has these wonderful words to say about our impermanence. "The great grief of life, caused by impermanence, can't be avoided. But it's ameliorated by also knowing the great joy of life, which is that every moment is a fresh expression of the primal goodness. And then impermanence becomes poignantly beautiful. Each moment becomes a blessing to be cherished before it passes forever. Each meeting becomes an opportunity to fall in love that will never come again."ARTArticleGod's Love and The ChaliceWhen people are challenged with illness the best and worst comes out in them.ARTArticleGoing With The FlowAs the river winds and wends its way downstream towards the sea it is flowing in the direction of least resistance.

Sadly, some of us get so busy "doing life," making money, creating families, running businesses, starting new careers-that we never really stop to figure out who we really are.
