By 1 Comment

Second in a series While educating myself about the traditional medical approach to "fighting" cancer, I also searched within to discover what I knew and felt about the disease. Within a week of my diagnosis, I spoke with Carol Burling, program manager of Pathways Health Crisis Resource Center. Ironically, I had been one of their providers for over two years; now I sought support as a participant. One specific suggestion Carol had was to consider Katherine Pohlman's Health Coaching … [Read more...]

My wife Kristin and infant daughter Aida spent the second half of September in Ukraine. They left home the morning of the 14th and returned the afternoon of October 1. I missed them terribly while they were gone. I spent much of the time before they left avoiding any real thinking or feeling about it. It was just this thing that was going to happen one day. I knew they were going. I knew what day they were leaving. I had all the details of their trip. Yet, I didn't allow myself to fully … [Read more...]

Eliminate the Distraction from the Law of Attraction with EFT

By 1 Comment
happy

A conversation between Certified EFT Practitioners Dr. Kim Eisen and Cathryn Taylor What is the Law of Attraction anyway? Simply put: like attracts like. More complex: It is a law of the universe based on the fact that you are an energetic being that vibrates. This vibration emits a frequency that acts like a magnet, drawing back to you the vibrational match to any feeling you emit. Modern-day physicists agree that everything in the universe -- what you can and cannot see -- is pure, … [Read more...]

What is your Body Telling You?

By 1 Comment

What we feel in our physical bodies and our emotions, memories and experiences is inextricably wound together in ways that we can only begin to imagine. The connection between what we think and how we feel is becoming more and more well documented and well considered, but I believe that the room for exploration of this connection is still in its infancy. I also know that this connection can be exploited for the purposes of bringing people relief in a more profound and complete way. While you … [Read more...]

Emotions: Energy in Motion

By Leave a Comment

QUESTION:  What part do emotions play in our spiritual development? ANSWER: At the heart of this paradigm shift is spiritual adulthood and freedom. There are four passkeys to crossing the spiritual adulthood threshold: personal authenticity, self-examination, separating belief from truth, and integration. E-motions are the centerpiece of these two passkeys. However, many of us are afraid, ashamed and anxious about the exploration, acknowledgment and expression of certain e-motions. Most of … [Read more...]

Hypnosis and the Effect of Emotions

By Leave a Comment

Emotions play a large role in our lives and often govern our actions and reactions. As a general rule, humans prefer to feel good and do things that help them feel that way. When we become frustrated because we are not feeling good, we turn to activities that distract our minds from those less than optimal feelings. For example, I feel sad that my dog died and look to find something that will make me feel better. Well, I feel good when I go shopping, so I go shopping and spend some money. For … [Read more...]
