Meditation Muse:
Free Resources Flowing Your Way
By: Nancy S.B. Ging, LCSW
At all times we have access to vast - and free - resources for our enlivening, for our healing, for our transformation.
Through our breathing process we can, in any conscious moment, take in the spaciousness of All That Is, through our breath. The spirit of the whole/the Holy Spirit is as available to us as the next breath. Profound peace can be yours, soothing comfort as close as your next breath.
In addition to the harmony and serenity that can come to us when we focus on our breathing there is also the love within the Earth beneath us which is flowing up into our feet and legs at all times. We continually receive this energetic gift from the Earth whether or not we are conscious of it, but we can drink it into our bodies more abundantly if we consciously ask for this energy with gratitude and put our bodies on the receptive mode known as the feminine principle. Just imagine you're pushing a button that says "You're now on YIN." Rhymes with "Taking it IN."
As if these two precious resources of Heaven and Earth were not enough sustenance, we also have the primordial element of fire to focus on for enlivening ourselves and empowering our intentions. To focus on a candle or a fireplace will re-charge the spark of firelight within your heart. The flames of your very own sacred heart will be ignited anew as you fix your gaze on a flame and watch it dance with the transformative energy that is fire. Feel your heart glowing as firelight itself.
Impoverished we are not! Not ever. An abundance of support surrounds and enfolds us. Remember this and connect with it all in humble gratitude for these gifts.

Research over the past decade has revealed much about the incidence and treatability of mood disorders among children and teenagers. But questions and controversies remain. What do we now know about the age-specific safety and effectiveness of medications for mood disorders? Is Bipolar Disorder over-diagnosed? What kinds of psychotherapies for mood disorders have been shown to be most beneficial? What is serotonin syndrome?
Clarus Center is proud to offer a two-part lecture series on mood disorders in childhood and adolescence presented by two child psychiatrists. Dr. Matthew Parvin will share data on cutting edge developments in the treatment of Pediatric Depression & Pediatric Bipolar Disorder. Dr. Joseph Nemeth will address the broader historical context on various treatment paradigms and trends. The two speakers will provide well-informed perspectives on both the details and the big picture of these two major illnesses affecting children and teens.
