These techniques help to remove congested or blocked energy in the body. When the energy is not flowing because of unresolved physical or emotional, mental or spiritual reasons, this causes stagnant energy flow.

Research has shown that there is an energy field around all matter. Think about the times that you enter a room and can tell if there is any tension in the room. Also, do you notice when someone walks into a room and you “sense their presence” before you actually see them? What you are experiencing is their energy field.

Energy based techniques work with the energy fields,helping to balance the body on all levels-physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. These therapies address the whole person, not just the symptoms.

Energy healing helps your body to self heal by re-aligning the energy flow through out your body, helping your body to regulate itself.

Your body is always trying to get back to a balanced state, but sometimes we get in the way.

Pain is one way to get our attention. Start listening to your body signals.

In our world today, people are becoming more and more overwhelmed with life.

Many are accepting that poor health, emotional baggage, negativity, fears, worries and lack of fulfillment are a normal part of life.

Many people are feeling stuck, accepting that life has to have emotional trauma and drama.

Instead of searching for ways to achieve joy and satisfying lives, many turn to pills. This is attempting to get immediate relief for sleep problems or to numb the pain and themselves, suppress anxiety, compulsions and addictions.

Are you feeling trapped as you are caught up in this vicious cycle not seeing a way out?

Most people do not want to be sick, depressed, discontent or anxious. But what are the alternatives?

It is your right to flourish, and thrive, putting the past in the past. It is important to be your best, living a life that is filled with peacefulness, joy, and fulfillment, from day to day and moment to moment.

There are many ways to achieve this. In our hustle and bustle of being on the treadmill of life, sometimes it’s difficult to get off and simply take 5 minutes for yourself.

Sounds easy enough, but is it? You can take your physical and emotional well-being into your own hands. It’s simple for anyone to master, and it’s free.

One way to do this is quiet reflection, meditation or prayer. Start your morning this way and set your intention for the rest of the day.

Wake up and go to bed each day giving gratitude. As you start saying, I AM GRATEFUL for… you will find more things to be grateful for in your life. Keep a Gratitude Journal…start by writing what you are grateful for each day. The more time you spend thinking about what you are grateful for, the more you will find things that bring gratitude into your life.

Whenever you find yourself being negative, rephrase your thought or statement into something positive.

Take a 5-minute walk; especially as our weather starts to cool down, it can be very refreshing for your mind, body and spirit. If you are fortunate to live near a park or nature trail, this is even more invigorating.

Turn off your television for one day and feel the difference. Reduce you cell phone use for one day.

Clear out a clutter corner, drawer or desk…. your mind will feel less cluttered as well.

Schedule a massage, energy work session; start a yoga or Tai Chi class…change your focus to a positive one.

Take 5…

Another way is to pamper ourselves. We deserve it. Make it a spa day…you can do this in the privacy of your own bath. Take that extra 5 minutes to soak in a tub that you sprinkled a few drops of coconut oil…it’s wonderful for your skin and feels great! There are many essential oils that can be added…don’t overdo it…just a few drops goes a long way.

Exfoliating your body can make a major change in your skin’s makeup from head to toe. By adding raw sugar to your body wash, you can exfoliate your whole body economically and not using harsh chemicals that are in some cosmetics or body washes.

Whenever there is a physical or emotional pain or illness, there is a disruption of the body’s energy. Negative emotions are intricately connected to health problems.

These health problems are creating feedback that something is not right. By approaching all aspects of a person, the root cause is addressed, not just the symptoms.

Mind, body, spirit coaching addresses the whole person and helps you to see which areas need more attention, giving you tools to use to accomplish improvements.

Are you ready for a change in your life?

I’m always delighted to hear your news, views and feedback.

The chakras send and receive energy of everything that has ever happened to us.

The size of your chakras are about the size of your fist. When balanced, these energy centers should be spinning clockwise. Whenever our chakras are balanced, we maintain optimal health and well-being. Our health is affected on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Problems such as illness and disease may result from chakras not being balanced. There are exercises and meditations that can help and having energy work can be very beneficial in creating and maintaining this balance.

Although there are many chakras throughout our bodies and layers of our energy fields, there are 7 major chakras, which correlate to the colors of the rainbow.

First chakra(red) – root chakra and has to do with survival, our foundation, being grounded. It relates to insecurities, bladder and nervous disorders, sexual dysfunctions and skin problems.

Second chakra(orange) – sacral chakra located below the navel. This chakra relates to pleasure, relationships, appetite and our creativity. Examples of dysfunctions would be colitis, PMS, kidney problems ovarian/uterine disorders, emotional issues.

Third chakra(yellow) – solar plexus. This chakra is the seat of the ego. Digestive and weight disorders would be a dysfunction, as well as power issues, gallbladder, fear and self-esteem problems.

Fourth chakra(green) – heart center, is about giving and receiving love, compassion. Dysfunctions would include blood pressure, heart and lung problems, asthma and sleep disorders.

Fifth chakra(blue) – throat center, governs all aspects of communication. It is the will to express, whether written or oral communication. Problems in this chakra may include the thyroid, jaw, tonsils, or an inability to express oneself.

Sixth chakra(indigo) – brow center, is also known as the “third eye”, our inner vision. An unbalanced brow chakra may show up as eyesight problems, headaches in the brow, glandular or endocrine issues or hormonal imbalances.

Seventh chakra,(violet to white) located at the crown or top of the head is about our purpose in life. Major depression, problems relating to the pineal gland, learning disorders, headaches and light-headedness are associated with imbalances within the crown chakra.

Children have such a joyous outlook on life. It’s seems that children can reach into that place where joy tickles their soul. But as we get older, we tend to lose that sense of wonderment and spontaneous joy.

Pre-school aged children don’t have to be told to laugh. They laugh naturally and a lot more often than adults do. In fact, a study has shown that children laugh about 400 times a day as compared to adults who laugh 17 times a day.

More health-care professionals are finding that laughter helps to lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, and reduce stress hormones while triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.

More and more research is indicating that laughter is indeed the best medicine. The bottom line is that laughter helps to produce a wonderful sense of well-being and there are no “feel good” pills required.

Laughter is contagious and has no known side effects, unless you count laughing until you cry. It’s that good belly laugh that exercises the diaphragm, relaxes muscles, and reduces stress while giving the heart a good workout as well while contracting the abs.

Humor Therapy is showing up in hospitals around the country as being therapeutic. Studies even show that laughing actually raises levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies and also helps people to heal. The physical and emotional releases from laughing produce a cleansed feeling.

Laughter and humor give a light hearted perspective to life’s challenges and brings the focus away from negative emotions such as guilt, anger, fear and stress.

Laughing Clubs are becoming popular in countries such as India as well as the United States. Participants gather for the sole purpose of laughing.

Humor is a universal language which connects us to each other. As a natural diversion, it helps to break down barriers and bring people together. Perhaps by lightening the mood, it helps to improve the quality of social interaction. As more and more people bring laughter into their lives, others around will most likely laugh more and everyone will realize the benefits. Yoga laughing is receiving attention as a means of healing mind, body and spirit.

How can you find more humor in your life?
TV and Movies offer an assortment of comedies, while getting together with friends at a comedy club is a great way to bring more laughter into your life.

Change your attitude and instead of complaining about life’s frustrations, bring humor into the situation. Approach life with more joy and you’ll feel less stressed about negative events.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words. Rei and ki.  Rei means supernatural force of spiritual intelligence and Ki means life energy.  Thus Reiki is spiritually guided life force energy.

Treatments can be done in person or remotely. It may aid in helping illnesses, injuries and diseases.  Reiki is very versatile and can be used to heal or improve any condition or difficulty.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a Religion.  It has no dogma and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn or use Reiki.  Reiki is compatible with all Religious paths and faiths.

Sessions usually involve a combination of energy-based modalities that are individualized to fit the client.

The Five Spiritual Principles of Reiki

Just for today I shall not worry.

Just for today I will do my work honestly.

Just for today I will not anger.

Just for today I will respect and be kind to all beings.

Just for today I will show gratitude for all my blessings.

Holistic means treating the cause (Root) of the problem, not just the problem itself. Only then can TRUE healing take place. There is a place for everyone. Holistic means not using drugs or invasive procedures such as surgery.

However, true Holism does NOT rule out Allopathic Medicine when needed. If I had a life and death situation then I would go the allopathic route and then pursue treating the cause of the problem.

Scientists have proven that the energy of our thoughts, feelings and emotions can positively or negatively affect our DNA structure.  We’ve all heard how someone taking a placebo is healed simply because they believe the medication (which actually has no medicinal value) will heal them.

The holistic approach treats the cause of illness with natural means to heal not just cover up symptoms. Holistic healing treats the whole individual not just parts of the body.

The holistic approach treats the cause of illness with natural means to heal not just cover up symptoms. Holistic healing treats the whole individual not just parts of the body.

It’s a wellness approach that addresses the body, mind and spirit or the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual. Our bodies are always working to get back to a healthy balanced state, but sometimes we get in the way.
