I love you

I am sorry

Please forgive me

Thank you.

 Sometimes when I am having a hard time letting go of a thought that is toxic and annoying me, I have found that by repeating this mantra, I go from toxic to feeling calm and centered. 

I have shared this mantra with people that have ill feelings toward a person that has truly harmed them.  I get it…why would you want to forgive someone that has beat you up, abused or betrayed you.  It feels like if you forgive them, you are saying that all that they did was ok…and it will never be ok. 

But forgiveness in ho’oponopono and even in Course of Miracles, is not about forgiving the person, but forgiving the stored memories of that person and events.  It’s really not about that person, but about your own health; it’s about freeing yourself from carrying around a heavy burden every day. As long as you carry negative feelings toward someone, they will always...

This meditation is great for calming down the mind and nervous system.  Please try to make your breath connected...meaning no pauses in between the inhale and exhale.  

These two Egoscue Stretches have saved me and my clients many times.  When your back is screaming at you, it's time to slow down and let it rest.  

Please don't hesitate to contact me regarding any questions you might have. 

I know a lot of people think sound healing is woohoo medicine, but for the past few years, I have been studying sound and the research behind it is vast.  Sound healing is dated back to ancient Greece when music was used in an attempt to cure mental disorder.  

I have always felt the powerful effect of sound; sometimes I have been super low and depressed and put on a song and it completely shifts my energy.  Or have seen clients come in with stress and I put them in these yoga poses with some really relaxing music and can see their faces completely change.  But when I saw this video on youtube, I completely got it.

The vibration of sound re-organizes our cells into geometric shapes found in nature…like plants, trees, etc.  The higher the frequency of sound, the more complex the geometric figures get.  

In this youtube video, there is a sound machine below the metal plate.  Watch how the geometric shapes of the sand change and get more...

Beautiful Sunday morning with 30 plus lovely ladies trying to learn about stress and how to de-stress.  Dr. Erica Oberg takes you through the top reasons people feel stressed and what it does to your body.  Finally she gives great advice on how to destress.

Can breathing really have all these positive effects??  It's crazy that it can, AND IT DOES.  Besides all the proven physical benefits of breathing, the emotional integration and how it makes you feel whole, peaceful and in love with yourself, are the most healing side effects of Transformational Breath.  

Please take a few minutes and listen to these stories;  There are so many more.

Don't hesitate to contact me regarding any questions you might have. 

These 4 stretches are great to do before breath work or meditation.  They open the psoas  (we hold a lot of our emotions in our hips), and the chest area so that the diaphragm has room to expand.  

Most of us use 1/3 of our respiratory system and get only 25% of the oxygen we need for good health. The benefits of breathing properly are unbelievable.  

That's why for the next few months, I want to go over different breath modalities and their benefits.  Hopefully you will want to incorporate one of them into your daily life.

The only difference between your brain and Albert Einstein's brain is that his brain had larger blood vessels and therefore had more blood flow and oxygen going to his brain NATURALLY.  However, we can increase blood flow and oxygenation to our brain through certain kinds of breath work.  

Here is one breath exercise you can do:

Breath out all the air from your lungs in 3 stages...first from you chest area, diaphragm and then your belly,  Then inhale from bottom up... into your belly, your diaphragm and into your chest.  Then HOLD your breath for as long as you possibly can until you are desperate for...

Have you ever experienced neck pain or a stomachache right after a stressful day or bad news?   Have you ever gotten sick right after holding it together through a stressful situation?

Everyday there is more scientific research showing the correlation between physical and emotional health.  I have been using Louise Hay's book "You can heal your life" for 20 years;  each time I am sick or in pain, I open up the back part of the book and look at the correlation between the mental cause of the physical dis-ease.  And have to say that 85% of the time, it has been so accurate.  

There is also the book by John E Sarno, who has helped thousands and thousands of people overcome their back, shoulder and other conditions--without or drugs, exercise, physical therapy or dangerous surgery.  He explained that the root cause of most of his client's physical pain were emotional; how anxiety and repressed anger triggers muscle spasms and other...

If you have trouble sleeping, this 1.5 hour video is a must see.  This talk was organized by Dr. Mark Kalina from Pacific Pearl.  He really brought the right people together to address sleep issues from all angles. 

Dr. Edward Goldberg, MD Harvard Graduate, has a center in Carmel Vally called San Diego OrthoNeuro where he works with patience that suffer from sleep disorders.  He mostly discussed how lack of sleep can affect people at so many levels.  Not good news!!  

Dr. Denise O-Neil approached sleep issues from the emotional perspective, stating that unprocessed emotions and stress/worry are one of the main reasons people suffer from sleep disorders.  She recommended different kinds of therapy including EMDR to release old trauma.

Dr. Erica Oberg's approach was more on natural ways to create healthy sleeping patterns that focused on the Circadian Rhythm, supplements and food.

My presentation was more experiential.  Inviting...
