Now is the Time

As we all make new year's resolutions, I want to share the passage below with you. By the way. Hafiz is one of the world's most beloved poets, he is affectionately known as the “Tongue of the Invisible”

Enjoy and Namaste,
Tina

***************************************
NOW IS THE TIME (written by Hafiz, from the book “ The Gift”)

Now is the time to know
That all that you do is Sacred.

Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God.

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live
With veracity
And love

Hafiz is a divine envoy
Whom the Beloved
Has written a holy message upon.

My dear, please tell me,
Why do you still
Throw sticks at your heart
And God?

What is it in that sweet voice inside
That incites you to fear?

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is Sacred.

This is the time
For you to deeply compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything “YOU” do
Is Sacred.

Happy Chanukah to my Jewish Friends!!!!

I want to wish all of you that celebrate Chanukah...a happy one! Although I am not Jewish, I have fond memories celebrating with my dear Jewish friends. La Chiam!

Here is a link to Adam Sandler's infamous song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd9p47MPHg

Here are the lyrics:
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew

You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish

Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah

O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby

Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is

Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukah

Honoring Friends by Letting Them Know They Are Gifts

Today I received this from a friend and I encourage you to take the time out and honor your friends in any way you see fit. It could be a phone call, email, text, hug, card, or feel free to cut and paste the following and use it how you see fit.

Oh, and I dedicate this to all my friends...YOU!

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.

Thanks for being my friend!


Namaste,

Attitude is Everything!

I've been noticing lately that many people have lost their positive attitude. For some people, their lives have changed due to their financial circumstances or other areas of their lives. They are forgetting that we are all warriors. We can overcome so much. We have the power to transform, transcend and transmute our situations in our lives. We are like butterflies, always in a cycle of transformation. Change is inevitable. Going with the flow is must.

I would like to share with you this story:

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in
the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she
did and she had a wonderful day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that
she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle
today?"
So she did and she had a grand day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony
tail."

So she did and she had a fun, fun day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"


Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is dealing with issues. And when you give out kindness, you get it back tenfold.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Have a Good Day!

Happy October Everyone!

I came across the passage below from the late Christian D. Larsen who was an influential new thought leader. I thought it would be great to embody it as we create another month in our lives. Have the best month ever! Namaste, Tina

"Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for anger. "



www.TinaSacchi.com

Whenever I think of a departed one, I only remember the good and the joyful times so that I can continue to feed me with positive thoughts.

After someone dies even thinking about them can hurt so much that you can’t face it. Your mind may be crowded with images, thoughts and negative memories associated with their acts toward you or perhaps their illness and circumstances of the actual death.

It's important to consciously and intentionally select all the positive things and memories and have that run in your mind so that you can continue to feed your mind, body, spirit and emotions with positive energy.

As time passes you will begin to be able to remember things in a much less painful way. You probably have years of happy memories connected to the person hidden in between some sad memories. Select the positive ones and have them rerun in your mind so that you can deprogram the negative ones.

And if there is nothing you can think positive about a particular person, view them as teachers. Possibly one of your biggest teachers. All the teachings and learnings you have experienced. What have they taught you not to be like or what have they brought to your attention that made you improve your life ...because it was clear that they didn't live in a positive way? Thus teaching you through negative reinforcement.

In my shamanic practice, there is a pray that I say and part of it reads:
"I honor all my relations, those that came before me and those that have yet to come. Even my children's children."

And by honoring all my relations, I really am honoring myself since we are all connected.

Honoring Life Changes ....The Wisdom of fear

I've been dealing with a lot of people struggling with issues lately due to the economy such as losing jobs, homes, etc. As a result they are tapping into a lot of fear.

And so my assistant today brought the following Daily Om to my attention and I thought I would share it with you. Remember you are Light and Light always swallows darkness (which includes fear). Let's make lemonade from these lemons!

Namaste, Tina

www.TinaSacchi.com

*****************************


Daily Om
Honoring Life Changes
The Wisdom of Fear

Anything worth doing will always have some fear attached to it. For example, having a baby, getting married, changing careers—all of these life changes can bring up deep fears. It helps to remember that this type of fear is good. It is your way of questioning whether you really want the new life these changes will bring. It is also a potent reminder that releasing and grieving the past is a necessary part of moving into the new.

Fear has a way of throwing us off balance, making us feel uncertain and insecure, but it is not meant to discourage us. Its purpose is to notify us that we are at the edge of our comfort zone, poised in between the old life and a new one. Whenever we face our fear, we overcome an inner obstacle and move into new and life-enhancing territory, both inside and out. The more we learn to respect and even welcome fear, the more we will be able to hear its wisdom, wisdom that will let us know that the time has come to move forward, or not. While comfort with fear is a contradiction in terms, we can learn to honor our fear, recognizing its arrival, listening to its intelligence, and respecting it as a harbinger of transformation. Indeed, it informs us that the change we are contemplating is significant, enabling us to approach it with the proper reverence.

You might wish to converse with your fear, plumbing its depths for a greater understanding of the change you are making. You could do this by sitting quietly in meditation and listening or by journaling. Writing down whatever comes up—your worries, your sadness, your excitement, your hopes—is a great way to learn about yourself through the vehicle of fear and to remember that fear almost always comes alongside anything worth doing in your life.

Laughter is Great Medicine

Today I felt that we need to bring some sense of humor in our lives and so I bring to you the following:

AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to
hold them while you chop.
Avoid arguments with the Mrs about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.
For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives; then you'll be afraid to cough.
You only need two tools i n life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Daily Thought:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES; MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR CERTAIN THINGS BUT THEY BRING A
SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. Then again what's normal? Everyone has their own definition.

Namaste and have a great day!

PEACE Be Within All of YOU

PEACE Be Within All of YOU

July 4th is a milestone of freedom for our nation, and it goes deeper than a barbeque gathering with friends or a summer night illuminated by fireworks. Today is a day to reflect upon what is free, and what ought to be free. I believe that freedom begins from within each of us. And so I would like to share this piece with all of you and hope you put peaceful energy to this intention:
"A man of peace is not a pacifist; a man of peace is simply a pool of silence. He pulsates a new kind of energy into the world, he sings a new song. He lives in a totally new way. His very way of life is that of grace, that of prayer, that of compassion. Whomsoever he touches, he creates more love-energy. The man of peace is creative. He is not against war, because to be against anything is to be at war. He is not against war, he simply understands why war exists. And out of that understanding he becomes peaceful. Only when there are many people who are pools of peace, silence, understanding, will the war disappear." OSHO
So let’s spread the energy of peace by first making it an intention to be peaceful. Allow the peace to radiate and exude from us and be available for others to feel, see, smell, taste, hear, and know that it is truly possible to be at peace. And where there is peace, there is freedom. This is what our forefathers’ intention was on July 4, 1776. Let’s be a woman or man of peace. Who is with me?

Peace and blessings,
Tina

Working with a Shaman... A Soulful Cure

A friend of mine came across this in the Daily Om and it comes really close to what it’s like working with a shaman.

************************



Since time immemorial, certain men and women have felt
called to heal the sick, to safeguard knowledge, to guide the
lost, and to commune with the spirit world.

These unique individuals, known as shamans, were mystics
and seers, repositories of wisdom, and keepers of herbal lore. During those periods when ignorance loomed large in the world, shamans across the
globe bided their time, peacefully practicing their practical
yet refined arts in the jungle, mountains, deserts, and tundra
that protected them from those who misunderstood
shamanism. Today, however, shamanism has reemerged, as
modern men and women feel the same call to service that
their ancestors felt long ago. Also, as more individuals
explore the notion that healing necessarily involves the soul
as well as the physical self, people are consulting shamans
in their search for wellness, wisdom, and guidance.

The word shaman literally means "he or she who knows."
Shamanism is an art that has not changed in any quantifiable way for millennia and is not bound to any particular form of spirituality. It is grounded on the principle that the visible world is saturated with unseen forces that influence the lives of human beings. Shamans, in addition to acting as fonts of wisdom, are dedicated to diagnosing and curing human suffering-whether emotional, physical, or spiritual. To treat an illness, a shaman may communicate with the spirit world in order to connect more directly with the soul of their patient or with the force causing ill health. They often work closely with animal guides, plant and earth spirits, or your spirit guides, and may make use of use of herbal remedies to supplement other forms of treatment. Shamans, as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms, recognize that all objects are in manner alive and retain information that can be utilized to heal.

Shamanism is powerful in part because its practitioners tailor healing to the individual needs of those who seek them out. A shaman manipulates energy, giving you power where you have lost it and removing misplaced energy lurking within you. When you seek out a shaman, they will endeavor to know and understand you before treating you. In this way, they can provide you with therapies that act on your whole being, positively influencing your body as well as your soul.

Some shamanic techniques include:

lluminations
Our Luminous Energy Field or some people call it the aura or spirit body which contain our chakras, holds karmic, personal and ancestral memories, patterns, imprints, traumas, wounds, beliefs, etc. In this session, Tina will facilitate the release of these obstacles and barriers that hold us back. These obstacles may show up in us through many forms such as addictions, headaches, anxiety, depression, anger, shame, blame, sadness, etc. Once your field is clear, your chakras will be illuminated with the Divine Light restoring you to your authentic peaceful self. (In person or phone).

Soul Retrieval
This technique is has been used in many cultures and shamans around the world. It involves the Shaman (Tina) to journey on your behalf and seek out soul parts that may have “checked out” when you may have experienced trauma, difficult times, pain (whether emotional, physical, mental or spiritual pain) in any time and space. When part of our soul is missing, we can experience emptiness, uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, shame, blame, anxiety, blocks, addictions, weight issues, lack of direction. Once the soul part(s) is brought back, it is gently integrated in your chakra system so that you become and feel whole again. This process is usually preceded with an Illumination session. (In person or phone).

Ceremonies
Tina is an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church in Modesto, California and a Shaman. She can perform ceremonies that include weddings, property and/or house clearing and property care-taking, renewal of vows, house blessings, friendship, engagement, baby blessings, etc. All ceremonies are tailored to you.

Happy St Anthony Day

Anthony of Padua is one of the most beloved of saints; his images and statues are ubiquitous. Proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on January 16, 1946, he is sometimes called "Evangelical Doctor". He is especially invoked for the recovery of lost things. Not only physical and tangible things but physical health things too.

I remember at age 15 that I was given a beautiful, valuable white gold bracelet with authentic pearls from my relatives in Italy. My mom specifically told me not to wear it to the park that day. Of course I didn't listen and sure enough i lost it in the park among the acres of grass. I headed home feeling upset and I knew I was going to be in trouble. On the way home, I looked at the statues of St Anthony at the various neighbors homes. It was very common to see statues in their front yards. (I lived in a very Catholic-Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY and St. Anthony was the man.) All those years of friends and family praying to him and seeing miracles, i decided to go home and pray. And that I did.

The next day I headed to the park and asked St Anthony to guide me to the spot where my bracelet was located. And bingo....there it was!!!!! I was a believer!

Years went by and I have called on St Anthony for various things in my life. Including when I was pregnant with my second son. I had such a difficult pregnancy that my doctors were concerned about my child. I prayed to St Anthony and made a vow for a healthy child and in return my child would be named after him. Sure enough, my water broke and I arrived at the birthing center at 6am and presto, Anthony was born at 7am.

The next time you need to recover something lost like an object, emotional feeling of love, peace, joy and serenity, or physcial health, ask St Anthony to help you. Ask from a feeling of true belief and intention and you will get healing in return.

Happy St. Anthony's day everyone!

Tina

As you travel through life

Many people are experiencing difficult times nowadays. I came across this passage and hope that everyone gets a lift.....and comfort.

**************************

***************************
As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead

There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

blessings and love to you all,

INSPIRATIONAL STORY FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS

HERE IS AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THAT RELATIONSHIP BEGINS FROM WITHIN. HAPPINESS STARTS FROM INSIDE. IF WE KEEP LOOKING OUTSIDE OURSELVES FOR HAPPINESS, WE WILL ALWAYS LONG FOR MORE. Namaste, Tina
***************************************************************
BRANDI WROTE THIS TO TINA:
"I have a couple more messages to share if you don't mind....

I was driving back from school the other night upset and down because I felt "alone"... I want to be in a relationship.... I feel alone.. wanting true laughter, wanting that special someone to love.... Ready to cry... Spirit told me so gently... "What are you going to do about it?"...
Seconds after, I broke down crying and wanted out because I was so tired of being in this world doing worldly things (again), having to relearn what I've learned and taught so many times before... having to start from the beginning once more although its all so familiar in my soul... I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I'm done..nobody understands, people cant see what it is they're doing here on this plane....yadda, yadda.... Spirit gently said "Well, what are you going to do to get through it?"....

In that moment, it made so much sense.....

Bringing tears to my eyes now.... it's so darn simple.... why can't we understand that this is not supposed to be that difficult? All we have to do is go within... like you continue to remind us time and time again....we are searching out instead of in....

My experiences lately, I've not shut myself off from the world around, but I've stuck to myself and out of group settings. I understand how powerful we individuals are if we quit making things so difficult and quit running to others every time we feel our Beings slip. When we're young and we fall... we're told to get back up... when we're young and we hurt... we're told you will be fine.... when we're young and begin to search... we are told you will find....
Just because our physical has aged, does not mean that our spirit doesn't need to be tenderly loved. Think of a time when you felt the world was about to fall and no one was in sight to see.... How in the world did we make it through? We made it, because we have our higher selves.... We made it because we have our angels, We made it because we have our guides, We made it because we have our loved ones who've transitioned over and we've made it because we have the strength. Without this mighty strength, we wouldn't be challenged with these crazy things in the first place... Continuously being helped and guided, and nudged.. Spirit stands and smiles right back.... so proud and so content. So proud of the wisdom we gain and so proud of the feats we all surpass. We need to stand proud, we need to stand Tall. We need to continue being firm with the truths that we already know... No need to look out, listen to whats already within.... what are we going to do to make it through?

When in a space of discontent or discomfort or unfamiliarity.... instead of running to find something that doesn't need to be, all we need to do is repeat... "I have all that I need... my Angels, my Guides, and Me."


THANKS BRANDI FOR GIVING ME PERMISSION TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS. LOVE, TINA

Swine Flu

With all the crazy media frenetic energy surrounding the Swine Flu, I've been getting lotsa calls and emails. I invite you to read Dr Mercola's article on this. you can click on the link below and here are some things you can do to prevent viruses and bacteria in general:

How to Protect Yourself Without Dangerous Drugs and Vaccinations by Dr. Mercola

For now, my point is that there are always going to be threats of flu pandemics, real or created, and there will always be potentially toxic vaccines that are peddled as the solution. But you can break free of that whole drug-solution trap by following some natural health principles.

I have not caught a flu in over two decades, and you can avoid it too, without getting vaccinated, by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.

* Optimize your vitamin D levels. As I've previously reported, optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself.

This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take. I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D level monitored to confirm your levels are therapeutic at 50-70 ng.ml and done by a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab Corp.

For those of you in the US we hope to launch a vitamin D testing service through Lab Corp that allows you to have your vitamin D levels checked at your local blood drawing facility, and relatively inexpensively. We hope to offer this service by June 2009.

If you are coming down with flu like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection. Some researchers like Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high as 1000 units per pound of body weight for three days.

*

Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.
*

Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Be sure to check out my article Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for some great tips to help you get quality rest.
*

Have Effective Tools to Address Stress . We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.

If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using an energy psychology tool such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma. You can check out my free, 25-page EFT manual for some guidelines on how to perform EFT.
*

Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. You can review my exercise guidelines for some great tips on how to get started.
*

Take a good source of animal based omega-3 fats like Krill Oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are trans fats and in processed foods as it will seriously damage your immune response.
*

Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.
*

Eat Garlic Regularly. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. And unlike with antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use. However, if you are allergic or don't enjoy garlic it would be best to avoid as it will likely cause more harm than good.
* Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines In this particular case, I'd also recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug. Vaccines will not be available for six months at the minimum but when available they will be ineffective and can lead to crippling paralysis like Guillain-Barré Syndrome just as it did in the 70s.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/04/29/Swine-Flu.aspx
The above was written by Dr. Mercola. You need to determine if it resonates with you and consult with your medical and holistic professionals.

Here's to your health, awareness and insight.
Namaste,
Tina

I want to share with you that I was invited to participate in a healing ceremony the other night with medicine men from Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta from Colombia, South America. We did a beautiful ceremony healing the Earth and ourselves. See photos in my group page.

Here is a website with their info: www.corazondelmundo.org You can read it in English or in Spanish. Take a look at the gallery and the photos. Most of them don’t even speak Spanish. They have their native lingo. They are simple people. They asked us for something to cut some thread and we gave them scissors. They looked puzzled and asked us how to use the scissors.

They are wonderful people spending lots of time in meditation and in ceremony to heal the Earth with the hope that everyone will gravitate to peace. So humble they are. Being in their energy was beyond words.

They are holding a space of peace for all of us. They live simple lives and they don't have to be distracted like the rest of us with all the noise, technology and "stuff". Their meditations and intentions are magnificent, powerful and compelling.

These people ask for your help in recovering their ancestral lands and protecting their sacred sites. So check out their website and see if you can donate money and/or send out healing loving energy prayers to them. Also energetically we can thank them for helping us heal the earth and promoting peace.

Namaste
Tina

It's Renewal and Rebirth time whether you celebrate Easter or not.

It's that time of year again when little children start painting boiled eggs and gluing cotton balls on little bunny rabbits all in celebration of Easter. I have many fond memories of Easter. I remember baking Italian Easter cookies with the colorful eggs embedded in them. I remember eating boiled eggs of many different colors and varieties. And cooking the variety of Easter dishes.... and the big feasts my family had with our relatives and friends.

Many Christians are celebrating Easter this weekend. Their meaning of Easter is Jesus' victory over death. The time when he overcame death and rose to live in heaven forever.

Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I would like to invite you to overcome somethings in your life and to a celebration of renewal and rebirth. What are the things you want to finally let go of? What things would you like to give birth to? Let's do some spring cleaning not only physically but emotionally, mentally and spiritually? Let's let go of things that do not serve us any longer like sadness, resentment, anger, disappointments, etc. And by letting go of these limited beliefs and limitations we can make room for things positive things like harmony. Let's allow our spirit to soar and live in peace, joy and serenity! It all begins with one step....:)

With peace and love

Meditation Tip

A tip is to meditate the first thing you do in the morning as you wake up. You are already in a relaxed state and so use that opportunity to set the tone of the day. Repeat wonderful, positive affirmations that are in present tense such as:
*I follow my heart and I know I am on the right pathway for me.
*My life continues to get easier all the time. Life is good!
*I am so grateful for the miracle called the body. It serves me well.
*I always have enough money. Every though I think is creating my future, so I choose to be well balanced financially.

Reiki, An Enlightened Experience...

"In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy." Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine

What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray key) is an energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing using our life force energy. Learning Reiki or receiving Reiki is a step toward being proactive (preventive) in your healing process. Reiki is also a complementary healing that can be used in conjunction with any healing technique, whether medical or alternative.

How is Reiki performed?
Reiki is administered by laying on hands (touch therapy), connecting with a person’s energy points or chakras. The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it. When a child falls and scrapes her knee, she wants her mother to touch it (or kiss it) and make it better. Human touch conveys healing.

What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of life force energy to improve health and enhance the quality of life. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. It’s a way to work with your Higher Power. It’s an enlightening teamwork experience. It will change your life!

What is Ear Coning or Ear Candling?

1. What is Ear Candling?

Ear Candling is a natural way to clean out accumulated wax and white, flaky fungus from the ears. The accumulations withdrawn from your ears may be many months or even years old. Ear Candles are custom designed from natural fibers and tapered to precise specifications. This technique dates back as far as the Egyptians when they used hollow reeds from swamps. It has been passed down by many generations by the Egyptians, Asians and Europeans.

YOU WANT A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL TO DO THIS PROCEDURE!!!! Hot wax in the ear is not only painful, it's also difficult to extract.

Ear Coning can be beneficial for ear infections, ear aches, wax build up, tinnitus, hearing difficulties, etc. It also assists you in opening your body's spiritual centers, thus cleansing the spiritual body through the physical.

2. Does Ear Candling hurt?

Absolutely not! It is a painless, harmless and totally relaxing experience. If it weren't for the intermittent crackling and hissing sounds -- due to the burning of the wax and fungus being drawn up the chimney of the candle -- you would never know that anything was happening in your ear.

3. How long does an Ear Candling session last?

About forty-five (45) minutes per session, however, you should allow one (1) hour for your appointment.

4. How often should I have Ear Candling done?

Initially, most people need just 2 or 3 candling sessions to get their ears clean... However, some people, may need up to eight (8) sessions over a six month period. Once your ears are clean, personal preference should determine how often you have your ears candled. Every three to six months would be practical.

5. Who can benefit from Ear Candling?

Ear candling can benefit almost everyone, from infants to adults. Musicians can benefit - especially singers and horn blowers - who often have a lot more wax build up than other people. People who wear hearing aids can benefit. Also, those people who have had previous ear injuries, can benefit from ear candling as they tend to have a greater build up of wax and fungus.
