Happy Holidays! 

This holiday time of year can be very stress filled.  Here are four effective ways to reduce your stress and start to relax this Holiday Season:

1.  Meditate, even if it’s for only a few moments a day. You can relax and reduce stress in this way almost anywhere, even while taking a stroll around your neighborhood. Which leads me on to…

2.  Take a walk! While you do so, take in all the sounds and sights around you and really appreciate them.  This is another great way to focus out rather than in; it is an excellent way to relax and keep yourself in a peace-filled, stress-free state.

3.  Practice Read more

The holidays are almost here!  Yes, it’s already December 22, 2011.

What images does this bring to your mind? …

Stressful family get togethers?  Fun filled parties?  Over spending your budget?  Laughing with  family/friends?  Worrying about how you will get everything done?  Delight in your cultural traditions?  Feeling resentful about others’ expectations?

Pleased at visiting those you love?  Eating/drinking/drugging too much?  Disappointment?  Happiness?  Wishing it were already Jan. 2, 2012?  Wishing the holiday joy would last all year?

There’s still time — now — for you to decide how you want YOUR holidays to be.  What is the theme around which you
would like to focus your holiday preparations?

William James, the father of American psychology, said that the greatest discovery of the 19th century was the power of  the subconscious touched by faith.  I would restate James’ observation to include the following, “The greatest discovery of the 19th century was the power of the subconscious mind purposefully directed with wisdom.”

Every human being possesses this limitless reservoir of power.  With it, you can overcome any problem, make any
change you desire in your life.  There is this tremendous power within YOU.

So what if your PAST holidays were not pleasing and satisfying to you?  You don’t need to repeat the past!  What didn’t you like?  What would you like YOUR holidays to be in 2011? Read more

What do you have to be thankful for?

With the Thanksgiving holiday in the U. S. quickly approaching, this can be a perfect time to answer this question for yourself.  That’s right — What do you have to be thankful for?  What can you affirm gratitude for?

When you put thought into discovering what it is that you have to experience gratitude about, you focus time and energy on the very concept of gratitude.  According to the principle of behavioral reinforcement, “What you focus on, strengthens”, the more you focus on those events for which you feel grateful, the more gratitude you can feel and the more additional events arise for which to feel grateful!

So, what is a simple way to go about giving thanks?

The simplest way that I know to give thanks is through the use of affirmations.  That’s right — by affirming gratitude, you can swiftly and directly add appreciation in your daily life.  Affirmations are specific, positive, here-and-now Read more

Enhance your quality of life — it is a MOST worthy endeavor.  Have you ever wondered how to go about doing so?

Wonder no more!  Here are 3 tips for being successful in enhancing your life quality:

1.  Live consciously each day. Stay connected with yourself daily. Be mindful.  Remain aware. Enhance YOUR Life Quality.

Ponder how you relate to your family members. Think about how you fulfill your role at work. Consider what you eat and drink, what you say and do each day. Live life with a purpose!  Strive to identify what that purpose — the life purpose that is unique to you — might be.

2.  No matter what you do during the day, put all your effort into it. If you’re going to engage in a task, focus on it, think about it and complete it. Make an effort. Put your heart and soul into it. Also, strive for improvement in whatever you do.

3. Know what makes your heart sing. Be connected with your own feelings, wants and needs. What makes you feel truly happy? No matter what it is — listening to music, spending time with your kids or talking on the phone with a friend — make room for those things that fill your heart with joy.

You have just one life to live.  This is all too true.  Have you been wishing you could live your life more fully?

You can!  Just follow the ideas below … and watch out for the changes that begin to occur for YOU:

1. Pause and reflect each day. Stop yourself from the rush and hub-bub of life. Sit quietly and reflect on how you feel.  Notice how you’re spending your time that day.  Decide whether you’re happy with how your life is going.

If you are, Great!  Continue to do what you have been doing!  Life Your Life More Fully!

If you are not happy with how your life is going, Great!  You can change it … select ways to change that will bring you the happiness you desire. This allows you to Life Your Life More Fully!

2. Spend time in nature as often as you can. It’s no secret that when you’re under pressure at work, escaping into nature will bring you back to feelings of peace and tranquility. A walk in the park, sitting on a bench gazing into a lake, or trudging down your street feeling the snow beneath your boots are all ways that can bring you back to what’s real.  These are all ways that allow you to live your life more fully!

Did You Know that …

Compared with people who are inactive, those who are physically active

• live longer and are happier;
• experience improvement in pain, sleep, and energy;
• are physically healthier; and
• experience improvement in day-to-day functioning.

This applies particularly to those affected by arthritis.  Despite having these facts supported by evidence, arthritis sufferers’ most common reason for inactivity is that arthritis limits their physical activity and recreational pursuits.

So, if you have arthritis — including rheumatoid arthritis — or if you know someone who does — join the American College of Rheumatology In this year’s annual World Arthritis Day.  It has the theme “Move to Improve” and is being held on October 12, 2011!

This year’s annual World Arthritis Day willl be held on October 12, 2011.  Under the theme “Move to Improve”, the American College of Rheumatology joined worldwide organizations to implement physical activities to combat arthritis and rheumatic diseases.  These primary arthritic and rheumatic diseases include osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and lupus.

The ACR offers tips for creating a safe, customized and realistic exercise plan:

• Consult with your rheumatologist
• Set yourself realistic short and long-term goals with rewards after every achievement
• Plan ahead identifying problems or obstacles for your exercise program and how you can overcome them.
• Create a range of exercise options and locations for variety
• Choose convenient, inexpensive and fun activities
• Exercise together with friends or family members
• Log your exercise progress on a calendar

If you have arthritis, I encourage you to follow these guidelines.  If you know someone with arthritis, do them a favor and pass this information along!

Here are an selection of some of my favorite Healing Quotes:

“A lot of people say they want to get out of pain, and I’m sure that’s true, but they aren’t willing to make healing a high priority. They aren’t willing to look inside to see the source of their pain in order to deal with it.”
— Lindsay Wagner

“I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.”   — Susie Bright

“This is the front edge of the spiritual, psychological movement and is where the tools of psychology have finally come together to create a mass healing. I think spiritual psychology is the next wave.”
— Kenny Loggins

“I just refer to myself as being Spirit, Mind and Body like everybody else and working toward the mastery of my natural divinity and the healing of my emotional mind.”
— Leonard Orr

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by.”
— Billy Joel

“It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.”
— Norman Cousins

“Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.”
— Sai Baba

“Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing, peace is the measure.”
— Phyllis McGinley

“The wish for healing has always been half of health.”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“There are so many ways to heal. Arrogance may have a place in technology, but not in healing. I need to get out of my own way if I am to heal.”
— Anne Wilson Schaef

 

The concept of healing is one that involves all of the aspects of our being.  These aspects include physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Each of us has physical dimensions to our being.  Each of us has mental aspects to our  being.  Each has emotional aspects.  Each one of us is a spiritual — energy — being. This has been proven through observation, psychology and physical science.

Any one — or all — of these aspects can become out of balance and/or out of natural harmony.  It is to address this unbalance and disharmony that healing enters the picture.

Healing comes in many different forms, methods and techniques.  There are many different approaches to healing!

The definition of Healing is simply, “Re-establishing a state of equilibrium and balance in the subject being treated.”  Energy Healing uses some form of energy — either theorized or veritable — to accomplish this return to equilibrium and balance.  For the human being, this restorative action can be called for on any of its four aspects:  namely, Read more

Have you ever heard of Reiki?  In my new book, “Arthritis Pain … FREE!  Heal Arthritis Naturally — I Did, You Can, Too!”, I discuss a number of different methods of healing.  One of these — that I heartily recommend — is Reiki.

So, what is Reiki, anyway?

Reiki is an energy healing therapy that helps the body’s ability to heal itself through the flow and focusing of healing energy. This technique is non-invasive, simple and powerful!

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “Spirit’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually a technique that allows the flow and focus of “spiritually guided life force energy.”

When one’s “life force energy” is low, the immune system becomes compromised. When the immune system is not functioning at its full capacity, it increases the possibility of getting sick or feeling stressed.  When one is sick or stressed,  healing is required to create a state of re-balancing and to strengthen the life force energy. When “life force energy” is strong, it increases the probability of being happy and healthy.

For more information about Reiki treatment and Reiki healing as a powerful method of natural healing, please return to this blog.  I’ll be writing more in the days to come!
