Health & Healing

Health is the free flow of energy through the body and can be achieved through an ever evolving mind, body, spirit balance or equilibrium.

Your body has incredible untapped potential to heal, that potential lies in a place of peace, deep inside you. It is always there, always accessible. Silence unlocks the body's innate capacity to heal and helps you move towards greater inner peace, guidance and well-being.

Power to Change Interview

I recently wrote a chapter in a book called Power to Change.  It includes my chapter - 5 P's to Making Life Enhancing Changes as well as chapters from 18 other experts in various modalities of creating change. 

In addition to outlining how to facilitate change, I answer the question - 'why do people often wait until they have a life-threatening diagnosis, like cancer, to make life-enhancing changes?'. The 5 P's are: Pain, Power, Permission, Passion and Purpose.  Please use this link to listen to my interview: http://www.thepowertochangetelesummit.com/audioseries.htm

Is it time to slow down?

As the pace picks up around the back to school period my thoughts are on slowing down.  I spent time in Cape Cod this summer and it was a great reminder of what speed my autopilot was set on – too fast!  Living in a big city with lots of traffic and lots of people I have gotten used to a fast pace.  Whereas in Cape Cod people not only stop for pedestrians at cross walks but they go out of their way to let tourists cross no matter where. They also let over cars go ahead when they are stuck in a tough spot somewhere.  It was such a refreshing change of pace that I could not help but reflect on how rushed we are most of the time.
 
So my theme for this fall is to slow down and take it all in, people, animals, flowers, the sky - clouds are so amazing to watch... 

                                  
If the notion of slowing down resonates with you I invite you to think of ways you can integrate it into your day.  For example;

  • Eating more mindfully
  • Purposely letting people cut in front of you in traffic
  • Leaving earlier so you are not in a rush to get places
  • Spending time every day admiring something beautiful in nature

But the most important of all, take time to breath well, really feel your in-breaths and your out-breaths and appreciate each breath for the revitalizing and renewing power it has on your system.  You can also use your breath to help you slow down and relax by extending your out-breaths so that they are longer than your in-breaths for a few minutes each day. I wish you all a slower and more leisurely month of September!
