Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2010!

Blue Moon, A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse

The moon helps create the ebb and flow of the tides and our circadian rhythms. Let us be thankful that all is well and that the earth continues to spin in perfect balance.

What are you looking to expand, let go of, release and allow in the year to come?

Exclaim it. Affirm it. Feel the feeling of having it already. Imagine you are totally there.
If you but believe and have faith, which personally, I find miraculous, you can move mountains.

And we spin around the sun for another year! Like the top that never stops whirring. Ask me to see the water gyroscope next time you stop in. It's cool.

Thank you, Gracias, Merci, Danke, Parakalo, and
Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Christmas Miracle

It used to take Sophia two or more hours to fall asleep and then she rarely slept more than two to three hours consecutively. When she answered the question how long has it been since you felt really well, she wrote, "This question makes me cry...". Sophia wrote in the margins of the intake form: "What does relief feel like??!"

She tried to use drugs or "spirit killers", as she called them, prescription and over the counter to no avail for years. Sophia had extreme constant tension in her upper back and right shoulder and chronic low back pain.

But Sophia had one other challenge that she told me about that was really curious. She had no sight in her left eye and there was no physiological reason for it. None. Her eye had no reason not to see. When she was three years old her parents noticed that her left eye was "lazy". In an effort to correct this they had patched her good eye for one year which did nothing to help.Sophia slowly lost her left eye vision over the next year. She had no depth perception and could not see anything in 3D or Magic Eye posters. You need to have two eyes for those experiences.

For years her neck worked to guard her left side and was like armor that was impenetrable. Massage did little to help her and she had constant neck pain and spasms.

As we started working it was clear to me that her problems all stemmed from subconscious emotional memory override. The fact that there were no lesions or physical traumas causing the blindness was a big clue. So we used Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), Emotional Freedom Technique (E.F.T.) and other techniques to neutralize any interference in her subconscious that was recreating the physiology of blindness in the left eye and other symptoms.

During the second visit she told me that she had had some double vision since the last visit and that it was very disorienting. I was ecstatic because this meant her vision was returning!

Part of what needed to happen was that she needed to forgive herself for not being able, at three years of age, to tell the adults what she knew was true - that it was not her body that was failing her but her mind that was shutting off her vision. The innate intelligence that she connected with as a child was not recognized by the adults in her life. Forgiveness for herself and the adults was a crucial part of her healing.

At another visit I intuited that in fact her vision was going to return the same way it had gone away. Sophia would begin seeing shadows and double vision and also probably some headaches. These headaches were not a bad sign but rather an indicator that the brain was rewiring how she was going to see fully again! Sophia came in today having enjoyed a 3D movie last night! She saw everything and perfectly!

She has flexibility in her neck and she is happier than ever. Her relationships are meaningful again and she is filled with love and forgiveness. Her pain is non-existent and she sleeps sometimes 12 hours at a whack! (she's catching up!).

This is no joke. It's real. Sophia wanted me to use her real name because she wants to help others heal too.How do you get healing like this in your life? Be open. Be brave (which means being afraid and doing it anyway). Allow it to come from wherever and leave your ego behind. Receive.

In practice for over 20 years, Dr. English uses massage, holistic chiropractic care and nutrition to help people realize the power they have within and create a world where healing is always possible. http://www.blest4today.com

How are You Showing the Love?

How are you showing the Love to yourself, your family and your world? Are you being nice to yourself? Or are you filled with negative self talk about how you should or shouldn't do this or that? Would you say those things to your best friend or to an acquaintance you'd like to know better? If the answer is no consider redirecting your self-talk to reflect your love for yourself first.
The golden rule, Love others as you love yourself, means you are going to have practice loving yourself.

I have a quote from the Red Green show on my Facebook page right now: "If you`re looking for the perfect low-cost Christmas present for your relatives, try giving them each a little slack. With any luck, they`ll re-gift it." Try this with yourself too. Cut yourself a little slack and try accepting yourself as the miracle of divine love that you are.
You are loved and you matter!

About Grudges...

One of the first things I give a new practice member is the Forgiveness Exercise. Forgiveness can clear so much rubbish from your life. Forgiveness does not mean that you are condoning the incident that happened. It means that you are breaking free of the negativity that keeps you bound energetically/spiritually to the person who caused you the harm, even if it was you! You can achieve forgiveness doing this exercise. You can begin healing doing forgiveness. A grudge holds you in a negative thought and keeps hammering away at you whenever it comes up. So you can be having a great old time and someone brings up something that reminds you of the incident then you have to remember how mad, hurt, upset you were and here it comes all over again. Who needs it!? Try this: next time something reminds you of the incident you can say to yourself "That is in the past. I am living in the now. I forgive myself, the others involved and I wish them well. I am thankful for the lessons I've learned because of that and so it is!"

Top Ten Reasons to Get Cleared with B.E.S.T.!

10. How do you know that's as good as you can feel?

9. You are annoyed by just about everything.

8. You have obvious symptoms that your body is trying to be in healing mode but not quite getting there.

7. You just heard some bad news and felt a little power drain.

6. You started a new exercise routine.

5. If you're a baby you were just born, just held your head up for the first time, just rolled over for the first time, just crawled for the first time, just walked for the first time (all of these milestones create your the curves in your spine !)

4. You are "handling" stress.

3. Thoughts from your past keep popping up.

2. You are ready to make a change in your life to access more of your personal power.

And the #1 reason to get cleared with B.E.S.T. is....

1. You want to experience full blown life force everyday of your life!

Now I say cleared with B.E.S.T. however this also means adjusted and we use many techniques that can get the job done. We want to go through the open doors not keep banging on the closed doors and make the body/mind/spirit try to do something it's not ready for.

Peace and Relief

My friend Brendan is in The Gambia river valley in The Congo in West Africa. He is there with the Peace Corps for the next couple of years. It's great reading his blog. http://www.alittlehungry.blogspot.com/

He's on the move with a couple of friends to a city in Mali that has a very happening music scene. Take a moment and read what it's like to go into service for peace.

We hear so much, some would argue not enough, about war and violence that we can forget that most people are just living their lives the way it is right now. The past is so long for indigenous people that it has a whole different meaning to contemporaries who identify themselves by their grandparents from the "old country".

War has been such a present danger to Africa and for so long. War has been everywhere for eons, it seems. So when do we consider peace? Peacefulness, peace of mind, peace of heart. Even saying the word is like a whispered prayer of relief.

In Esther and Jerry Hicks book "Ask and It Is Given" the concept of relief is highlighted over and over again. When I hear myself grinding something over and over in my mind I can bring myself out of it by taking an action step as I affirm "The Universe loves and approves of me. It is safe to know and grow." I can move myself into relief from fear. It may be take a little more time and thought until I don't feel a charge of anger, fear, upset and can address the thing that is, in fact, instructing me to turn to the Light.

This is the most healing remedy to the weariness of war. If there is to be peace, let it begin with me. Let it begin from within. And let it be a noble thing to travel to far away places and wage peace.

Learning a little bit

For the past week or so I've been writing classes for online delivery. Because so many are using the internet for learning I wanted to make the Health Care Class more accessible. What used to happen was a class for all new members to come to with family and friends after business hours.

We spent about 1-1.5 hours learning about the Six Essentials for Life; what we eat, drink, how we exercise and rest, what and how we breathe and what we think. And how to make good choices in each area that would help our healing and get us to the goals we were setting. This entailed coming to the office after work.

Have you had to carve time out of your schedule lately? It's getting to the point with most of us that we really have schedule "down time". Time when nothing is scheduled. I was just talking with my dear friend Vicky about this. With blended families and children in different age groups and spouses with lots of outside activities, having some time to do whatever one feels like at the moment is really important. "Downtime" is just as valuable as any "productive" time.

So I've created little classes broken into 2-10 minute segments, you can learn any time you want in manageable chunks. There are handouts with every class that you can download and print out as well. I hope you enjoy the classes. You will get valuable information that you can use right away.

And as in the past with the Health Care Class, those that take the class get to their goals faster and easier.

Discovering Talents

Ed and I recently received a note from one of Sam's teachers exclaiming his brilliant writing on a memoir about fear. He really captured the feeling well. It was a big surprise because this was his struggle for the last two years.
Writing was the most frustrating thing he could possibly have to do in school. His handwriting was almost illegible. He didn't follow punctuation rules and the most debilitating part was he could get hardly a word on paper during class.
We became concerned that he would not be able to express himself in written form when needed. He went for testing and came up with no real definitive problems but a little bit of this and that.

So you can imagine that when Ed called to tell me the news that he had an email from a teacher, oh brother, what now, was my reaction. When he read the email aloud to me I was blown away. My son had become a great writer! His story of fear had tension and changing of perspective. It was "writerly". So a transformation had taken place. Sam's is in ownership of his talent.

What talents do you have yet to discover? How about talents as a community? Did you hear about the families that adopted Liberian orphans? The whole community let their hearts open to orphans of war and are now being blessed over and over for their willingness to allow others in. It started out as one woman listening to a boys choir and it changed a whole community in two countries!

When we allow ourselves to grow into our passions we can discover amazing talents we never knew we had. Here's to discovery!!

How is Life like Pie?

PIE PARTY!!
Life is like pie. You can have whatever you want in it. What do you want?

On October 24th we'll have a party that kicks off at 2:00 pm with the
"Awakening the Healer Within" class.
This class has been getting rave reviews for 4 years. People start healing right then and there! I hope you will bring your friends and loved ones who are in need of healing. It's easy and fun!

Then at 4:00 pie! Bring a pie to share.
Savory or sweet, fruit or meat, oh me, oh my, I LOVE PIE!

If life is like a pie and you had a kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly want, what would you put in your PIE (life)? Put your attention on what you really want and share with us what your PIE would contain. It could be a poem, song, list or story board.

We are given what we want but only to the extent that we are clear about it.
So what do you clearly want in your PIE?

Time to get in gear already!

So it's taken me over a year to get going on this. You know how you decide you want to do something and the Inertia takes over? It happens to me too. So here goes...

Several limits for what I write here:
It must be True - insofar as it will not hurt others
It must have a Brevity - so that I cannot rant for hours
Personal - that it is my truth and others can have their own

My day is beginning by a long meditation to clear my meeting house. The time I spent thinking about this building, filling it with pure water and light and clearing it of all unwanted energy, lifelessness, negative feelings and upset has made a difference in my day and I trust in the day of this wonderful meeting house.

The energy one expends in daily thought helps to create the day and my goal is to create a day of healing for myself and others everyday. Some days it's not so easy. Resistance is real and it can be really hard to make that final leap to "doing". Do you sometimes feel like your feet are stuck in the slimy mud of indecision or low self esteem? Like the harder you try to pull your foot out the lower the other one sinks so that even trying becomes futile?

Even the word "trying" sounds strident and stuck. But "being" and "allowing" become the most relaxing words that we can use to create our experience.

I believe that life is supposed to be effortless and easy. That will push some buttons, I'm sure. I used to have a boyfriend that thought that life was about suffering. It was hard for him to have life and relationships be easy because his belief created his suffering as well. But that's what he learned from his parents. His unconscious reaction to things was what he had learned from 0-6 years old. What he mimicked from his parents.

No one is at fault it's just the way it is. As I have learned to overcome my unconscious thought (this is a daily lesson) life becomes much easier. The task to stay conscious becomes less a task and more of a joy! Imagine it as a joy to remain conscious!

I often tell practice members that it's like playing the piano. At first you have trouble telling your fingers which keys to hit when and it sounds very unlike the way the composer intended but as you practice a little bit, I practiced 20 minutes at a time as a child, it became easier. By the end of my piano phase I could play a Scott Joplin rag, in time and pretty fast! Easy! Fun!

So I'm practicing a little every day healing, clearing and being conscious. You can too.
Hugs,
Tanya
