Greetings!
Time is surely speeding up, and I find myself finally able to sit down and write this month's newsletter mid month! It feels to me as if there isn't enough time to get all the projects I have lined up tended to. More than ever I am having to really practice all the tools I know to stay grounded and therefore productive. I wonder if you are feeling the same......
Last month I traveled to California to receive training in HeartMath techniques for self renewal and creating inner ease. It was so uplifting to be with other practitioners from around the world as we learned these simple techniques together in the beautiful redwood forests near Santa Cruz. And I am excited and eager to pass these along to you!
Contact me if you have a group or organization who would like to learn these wonderful techniques for de-stressing and self-renewal. |

Creating Inner Ease
What does it take to create peace within oneself? Is it really as simple as setting intentions and following through with them? YES! The hard part is the self-discipline to practice. If you are like me, self-discipline is a challenge and the first hurdle in being well. The breakthrough for me occurred when I realized creating peace within is a moment by moment practice that does not require taking time "out" but rather being here and now with "in" the moment, even in the midst of seeming chaos. Breathing deeply into the NOW moment and drawing all our scattered energies into the heart for acknowledgment - acceptance - release, THIS is the gift of inner ease only WE can give to ourselves!

Tapping Too!
Yes, I am mentioning yet another tool for self-healing.....the powerful method of tapping called Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT.
Years ago I was trained in this technique and found it intriguing, but my skeptical mind blocked me from fully embracing it's simplicity. I used it a bit on myself and select clients, not giving it my whole hearted focus, therefore the effectiveness was lost. Recently I came across a wonderful book, The Tapping Solution, by Nick Ortner, and EFT has re-entered my life in full force! I cannot say enough how powerfully effective this practice is. I am seeing great results in my own self-healing along with the clients I have the privilege of working with. Tapping works wonders in relieving anxiety, pain, emotional blocks, trauma, addictions, you name it. I love it so much I have joined the practitioners alliance through Nick's website and look forward to learning/sharing more with others around the world.

Chanting for Global Healing
Over the Memorial Day weekend, here in the U.S., I will be attending an event that has been on my personal bucket list for many years - A 3 day kirtan experience with kirtan master, Krishna Das. Kirtan is call-and-response chanting accompanied by instruments such as the harmonium, tablas and cymbals. It is devotional chanting of mantras, performed in many Eastern religions. As a singer and mystic, I am drawn to music that uplifts the soul and is performed with the intent of healing. My intention is
to chant for the healing of our Mother Earth.
 | | Lotus at Yogaville |
Krishna Das is the best known U.S. singer of kirtan-style devotional singing. LISTEN to this youtube video of him performing "Om Namah Shivayah".
The kirtan retreat takes place in a beautiful setting near Charlottesville, Virginia, called Yogaville, the home of The Light Of Truth Universal Shrine (LOTUS), the realization of Sri Gurudev's universal teaching that "Truth is One, Paths are Many." Opened in July 1986, LOTUS is dedicated to the light of all faiths and to world peace, and embodies Sri Gurudev's efforts to foster religious harmony throughout the world.
Built in the shape of a lotus blossom - the ancient symbol for the spiritual unfoldment of the soul - the Shrine is a sanctuary for silent meditation, contemplation, and prayer. It is a place where people of all backgrounds and faiths can come together under one roof to honor individual traditions while realizing the ultimate spiritual unity of all.
