Words of Wisdom
Some of you know that I have studied with Terry Real, a nationally recognized relationship therapist. The other day I was considering some of the relationship wisdom I have learned from him...
1. Ask for what you want
2. Speak with love
3. Listen with generosity and curiosity
4. Empower each other
5. Cherish your partner
I also remembered a few words of wisdom from my friend and colleague, Ned F. Ned invites me to consider the Relationship Golden Rule: "Ask only for what you are giving." and to remember that Love is a verb. As I was pondering these amazing invitations, I couldn't help but think about this wisdom in the context of loving oneself. In fact, how can we love another in these ways if we do not love our self in this way first?
Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in our daily to do lists of life that we forget to consider the more quiet wisdom that comes from our heart and our relationships. As we enjoy the waning days of summer, I invite you to consider yourself and to remember that Love is a verb for oneself and for those who are dearest to us.
We look forward to seeing you at CUP soon!
Warmly,
Amy L. West, Director

The Importance of Loving Your Body
 Jann A. Jennelle
Healing Arts Practitioner of 27 years
(continued from last month)
Our bodies deserve positive regard and attentive care. As stated last month, stressful activities of daily living
can create strain patterns, postural problems, and physiological imbalances in
the body. If left unaddressed, these changes can become significantly
problematic, such as developing into pain syndromes.
What keeps us from meeting the needs of our bodies? Indeed
many factors. A large factor for many of us is how busy we are throughout our
day. However, if we can take a moment to consider the needs of our bodies,
we'll often discover the first step is quite simple - taking the time to stop
and breathe fully - - while simultaneously bringing to mind an awareness of our
full Self in our surroundings. That is,
to be still and listen in a quiet
expansive space of mind.
This may allow us to take in life and just "be"... letting go of the excess "doing". Spending even
just a few minutes each day in a quiet, contemplative state, with attention to
full, effortless breathing, can have many positive effects on our sense of
well-being and health.
I believe that becoming mindful of the importance of taking
time and space to create this harmony in our body is an act of Self-love. As we generate Self-love, those around us will appreciate the quality of
presence we offer. Thus, one could consider generating Self-love an important relational tool, well worth
developing.
Initially, if you can't justify taking the time to attend to
the needs of your body for yourself, perhaps you can do it in the name of
serving your relationships with others, until your inner relationship with Self becomes a priority.
I would love the opportunity to support you in learning new
ways to care for yourself that can help you establish a sense of well-being in
your body and in your daily life. A little support can go a long way. I invite
you to contact me by phone at 678.431.7096 or email, jannjennelle@yahoo.com to discuss
your needs and how my services may be able to help.
In Harmony & Health,
Jann

Financial Health Workshop
with Rick Kahler and Amy L. West, MSW
 We all experience how stressful unanticipated expenses can be and money worries are becoming an everyday problem for so many (even the "rich and famous"). With uncertainty all around us, your financial life doesn't have to be yet another cause for anxiety. Research has found that we hold over 250 unconscious beliefs about money (or our own "money scripts"), which we've built since early childhood. Some are helpful, but the majority thwart your best intentions to attain financial goals and find peace of mind around money.
Rick Kahler, Certified Financial Planner, best selling author and national speaker on Financial Health, and Amy L. West, MSW, provide clarity to uncover your hidden beliefs which may transform the role of money in your life. Through this highly acclaimed new workshop combining sound financial principles and crucial experiential therapy (a groundbreaking integration called "financial therapy"), your lifelong "money scripts" can be rewritten, creating a healthy new relationship with money. This new found clarity can change lifelong financial behaviors, enabling you to finally attain your goals, achieve aspirations, and honor your life values.
Featured on ABC's 20/20 and Good Morning America, endorsed by celebrities including Wynona Judd, and touted as "a pioneering approach for a new financial age", this workshop is for anyone who seeks to end money worries once and for all. Join us on October 23, 2010 and experience the life-changing power of a lasting financial peace of mind.
