Worry. That constant feeling of foreboding. The sick feeling that hits you in the pit of your stomach when you awaken. The distressing thoughts that that lurk on the edges of your mind, ready to stampede into the center of your life, distracting your focus, and interfering with your day. And with all this time and attention spent on this emotion, what good does it do? No good. That’s why it’s called worry. There is a difference between worry and concern. Concern is a

What is gratitude? Gratitude is a sense of thankfulness and appreciation. We are all grateful when we experience something big, something significant. We are grateful when our work is recognized with a job promotion, we are grateful when a loved one recovers from a serious illness, or when we are given the opportunity to experience something on our bucket list. And many of us are grateful for the smaller things - perfect weather for a family event, a gift of theater tick

At some point in our lives, each of us will feel an overwhelming sense of pain caused by transgression. An unfaithful spouse, a thieving sibling, an abusive parent, a severe and crippling accident. And oftentimes, we cannot express the anger, humiliation and hurt. So, we repress the severe emotions, and eventually they subside – at first to a dull ache, then diminishing to an occasional pang. Only to surge to the surface with some trigger, unleashing all the bitterness an

There is no denying the marvel of modern medicine. From the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy proposed the use of nitrous oxide for surgical procedures, on to the discovery of penicillin in 1928 by Alexander Fleming, and now with the ability to do transplants of major organs including the heart, we are truly blessed with technology. But, have you, or someone you know, ever experienced an unexplainable pain in the physical body? An unexpected back pain, a chronic ac

The mind body connection is fascinating. But it is also very simple. The mind body connection is simple because it is familiar to each one of us. When we are embarrassed, we blush. When we are frightened, our heart beats faster. When we are nervous, our stomach hurts. We have each experienced these physical reactions to these specific emotions. We also know that stress can cause many ailments including tension headaches, ulcers, or neck and shoulder pain. Alternately,

The only constant is change. Our lives move from one moment to the next, constantly in flux, with no two moments exactly the same. For the most part the change is subtle, something we don’t take constant notice of. And sometimes, our lives change in an instant, both joyfully and terribly. I always believed myself to be a person who accepts change. In fact, I was known to state that I like change, I actually welcomed change. Then one day, in one significant moment, so

We have all heard the common adages, “You reap what you sow”, “What goes around comes around”, etc. And to a certain extent Karma really is that simple. But it is not as easy as having a negative thought and then stubbing your toe. Nor are all of our experiences related to an infinite number of past lives that we are continually answering for. Karma is really about our intentions as we move through our lives. If we are driven in our actions by greed, jealousy, anger, lu

Let’s talk about the Ego. What exactly is the Ego? Traditionally the Ego is defined as the “I” of the self. The derivative of the word Ego means “I” in Latin. The word Ego was first brought to the general public by Sigmund Freud, a noted psychologist in the early 20th Century. Freud set forth the theory that the Ego is the place wherein lies the organized part of the personality structure that includes defensive, perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functio

I call myself a Healer. But, honestly, it never feels quite right, particularly when speaking with those outside of the holistic community. The word Healer has a certain connotation when speaking it within my tribe. We acknowledge the nuances of language and have agreed to an interpretation and understanding of the title Healer. And we honor the title, because for right now it allows us to speak and act with authority about the healing gifts that we have to share. But we

A friend of mine was sharing an experience of what he felt was being touched by the Holy Spirit. As he was telling the story, tears began to seep from his eyes and roll down his cheeks. As he wiped them away, he apologized for the show of emotion but explained that each time he retells the story he is overcome by such a feeling of love that he cannot stop the flow of joy. He emphatically stated that everything is love – love for family, love for others, love for self. Wow

As a spiritual person and an energy healer, my first response is an emphatic YES, and that would be the end of the discussion. For me, it’s natural to believe that energy healing is a gift from God, a natural capacity that each human has access to, in spite of the fact that most of us are not aware of this gift. But recently I received an email from Christian woman who posed to me two questions. 1. Does Reiki challenge, oppose, or conflict with one’s belief in Jesus C

Brilliant, Beautiful Energy Systems – The Aura, the Chakras and the Meridians Our bodies are comprised of both the physical body and the energetic body. Our physical bodies include the respiratory system, the circulatory system, and the skeletal system to name just a few. And our energetic bodies have energy systems as well. Although there are several energy systems, here we will discuss only three – the Aura, the Chakras and the Meridians. The aura is the body’s energy sh

Einstein discovered and showed us that E=MC 2. That is, that Energy equals Mass, plus the speed of Light squared. Huh? Simply put, energy and mass are interchangeable. Therefore, mass is a form of energy. The more solid the mass, the lower the energetic vibration. The higher the energetic vibration, the less solid the mass. For example, plants, animals, cars, furniture, people are all solid energy forms. Electricity, radio waves, x-rays are all forms of non-solid energ
