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

Why are you here?

This is one of the questions on the back of the menu at The Why Café.
 
Some of you may have read the intriguing book The Why Café by John Strelecky.  Over the next few weeks I will be sharing with you some of the insights from the book that may open you up to a new level of introspection.

The character in the book is named John and as the story begins he sets off on a much-needed holiday only to get stuck behind a major accident on the highway (of life). After his patience runs out he decides to try to find an alternate route.
 
Without realizing it John’s trip starts to become a metaphor of his life.  He set out with a game plan, ran into some roadblocks then headed off out without a map or a clear sense of where he was going. As time passed, he got lost, hungry and almost ran out of gas.  Yet he kept going, feeling it was too late to turn back, getting himself deeper into a situation in which he felt very powerless.
 
He eventually happens upon a diner in the middle of nowhere.  At the diner (The Why Café), he tells the waitress that he is frustrated, lost and out of gas and she smiles, a knowing, slightly sly smile that John does not yet understand.  Then she asks him the big question – why are you here?  He explains his view of the situation, not realizing that the question is a bigger one, and refers to his purpose for being on earth, not at the café!  She smiles again.
 
Until next time you may want to see if the question ‘why AM I here?’ resonates with you. But be forewarned, once you start reflecting on it you might not be able to stop…
