I’ve had some hard knocks in my body and building my way back to strength has been quite challenging at time.

If you are an empath or a highly sensitive person you can likely feel a lot about everyone you encounter.

Pain isolates is. It can make us believe we can’t be with others. It tends to invite cocooning which can be nourishing at times but it can prevent us from meeting others as we are.

When life is intense I definitely contract instead of open. My mind starts obsessing, I start doubting and without even realizing it…

With all this talk about meditation and chanting and all the ways it can heal your life, it's important to remember that you don't have to believe it until you feel it.

One of the beautiful things about a regular meditation practice is that it brings you to the place of listening within.

Chanting a mantra is a form of vibrational medicine, It will subtly, yet profoundly change how you feel, how you think and what you are aware of.

Flowing water helps bring me back to my truth. As I walk along the trails, I am reminded to get out of my own way…

How comforting to know that there is a place within that I can take refuge. When I am really triggered or scared, I can't always access it immediately…

If you belief everything your mind tells you, you will suffer greatly. The mind is a wonderful tool for doing many tasks.

Sadly, most people don’t correlate skin eruptions and mysterious pains with their emotional process, or lack there of. They mistakenly perceive the symptoms in their body as random and unrelated.

Chanting expands the strength of your auric field, the space around your body. You may not yet be consciously aware of your field but it's there.

Everybody adapted to survive his/her childhood. It sounds extreme but it’s true. There are no perfect parents and everyone has some degree of relational trauma, even in happy, well-adjusted families.

People often think that treating naturally means letting the body heal itself. There are situations where the body can heal itself and any form of treatment won’t make much difference.

So many of the medicines that are readily available are suppressive in nature. Analgesics for headaches, anti-inflammatories for joint pain, laxatives for constipation.

I believe the way through is through. What does that mean? To me it means that radical healing requires us to feel the emotions that we have repressed.

Sometimes we need to do some inner archaeological digging to make sense of what’s happening in the present. Why is that reaction or sensation so intense when nothing significant seems to be causing it now?

When we have any symptoms in our bodies, we go to doctors to ‘see what is wrong’, which is a logical first step. We should make use of all the medical knowledge and screening that’s available to us.

Most of us think our symptoms are our problem. If we have a headache, it’s that headache that we want to get rid of.

People have all kinds of ideas about what they will and won’t do but often those personal rules get broken?
