Welcome! |
As
the weather warms up and clothes come off, we all start
to look at our bodies in a different way. It seems that
some of us have 'eaten up' for winter's hibernation and
put on the pounds. With the extra weight, we need to
consider the alternatives to oozing over shorts and
swimsuits. Is it more exercise? More salads? More sleep?
MORE SLEEP? |
 |
Yes, research has shown
that if you don't get enough sleep it can interfere with your
insulin and melatonin levels, causing the body to hold onto
fat. Who knew?
By using your smart self-hypnosis plan
to deepen your levels of sleep, and to pep up your want to get
out there and exercise, you'll encourage your body to
re-organize itself for the new season.
Also, be kind
to yourself and take the opportunity to snooze on sunny
afternoons or lazy Sunday mornings. Allow your body and your
mind to slough off the heaviness of winter to move into sleek,
sun-kissed summer.
Exciting news! On Monday,
June 8th, I'll be hosting the chat room on the Shirley
MacLaine web site. The chat will be about the benefits of
hypnosis and past life regression, and I'll be answering
questions. People from around the world will be participating!
Namaste,

| Choosing a Holistic Practitioner |
| by Dr. Georgina
Cannon | |
|
|
|
More and more people all over North America are
seeking holistic therapies such as reflexology,
naturopathic medicine and hypnotherapy. Research shows
that the dollars spent on holistic and complementary
medicine are growing beyond that spent in the allopathic
field. This is an encouraging trend with positive
implications for everyone becoming responsible for, and
taking care of, their health for a longer, vital life.
But I have observed that most people spend more
time buying a car than they do choosing their new
holistic or complementary practitioners.
Think
about that for a moment. Holistic practitioners don't
just treat your body. They treat your mind, your body
and your energy field. You are trusting them with your
energy, soul and life force. That's the very essence of
who you are! That said, it makes sense to take great
care in choosing who will work with all those different
parts of you.
Easier said than done,
particularly if you can't get any personal
recommendations. So what to do?
- Interview potential practitioners, either
face-to-face or on the telephone, before you make your
decision. A five or 10-minute chat with the
practitioner or the receptionist should suffice for
your initial information gathering. Don't expect a
lengthy free consultation, but do expect to have your
pre-written questions answered fully. If you feel
you're being brushed off, or that you're too much
bother, don't go any further.
- Check out their web site. Is it simple and factual
with a personality you can respond to? Does it have an
opportunity for you to contact them by e-mail with
further questions?
- Check out their office if you can. Is it clean and
inviting? Does it look professional? Does the
receptionist look professional? Are you treated well
when you enter? If you have an opportunity to see the
practitioner, do they look professional? Are you
treated well when you talk to them?
- Pay attention to how you feel when you are talking
to the person. Does the practitioner listen to you and
demonstrate caring? Do you feel good, or is there
something in your gut that's telling you the person
isn't a good fit for you?
Remember, you have
the right to choose any practitioner you want. The
person might be very competent, experienced and caring
but just not click with you. That's OK! Different
practitioners have different styles and personalities,
and part of the selection process is looking for that
intangible connection that makes you feel comfortable.
Here are some questions to ask in your
interview:
- What formal training do you have in this field?
- What experience do you have in this field?
- Do you practice part-time or full-time? How long
have you been treating clients?
- What is the scope and nature of the treatment you
provide?
- What are your fees and payment policies?
- Can I contact any of your existing clients to ask
them about your service?
- Are you a member of any associations? What are
they?
- Does the medical profession refer clients to you?
- Would you be willing to share my case notes with
my medical doctor?
Well-chosen holistic
practitioners can help you change your life
dramatically. Take your time, do your research and
choose wisely. You are putting your mind, body and
spirit into someone else's hands -- literally.

| The Ancient Practice of Reiki |
| by Barb
Keshen | |
|
|
 |
We live in a world that is
constantly changing, becoming more stressful and
demanding much of us both physically and
energetically. As a result, people are turning to
alternative therapies to enhance and maintain
their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
well-being. One of these alternative therapies is
the ancient practice of Reiki.
|
Reiki (pronounced ray-key)
is a form of natural healing with roots going back to
ancient Tibet. Re-discovered in the early 1900s by
Buddhist teacher Dr. Mikao Usui, it has since been
acknowledged by our modern world as a technique that is
very effective in maintaining both physical and
energetic balance.
The 'rei' part of the word
means 'universal', and the 'ki' stands for 'life force
energy.' The word is very descriptive of what happens
during a Reiki session. The Reiki practitioner connects
with universal healing energy and brings it through his
or her hands into the client's personal energy field or
ki. During a Reiki session, you lie fully clothed on a
massage table while receiving relaxing energy from the
practitioner. The focus of the session is to clear any
blocks in your energetic field.
The session
increases the effective flow of your vital energy, which
in turn encourages healing on all levels of your being.
During the session, you can expect to experience a deep
sense of relaxation, increased energy, pain relief,
reduced levels of stress and an overall feeling of
wellness.
One of Reiki's most beneficial aspects
is that you can easily do a session on yourself; it is
very simple to learn.
Whether you choose to
experience Reiki as a client, or learn to do it
yourself, connecting with positive healing energy
provides an opportunity to experience profound peace,
enhanced healing and a wonderful sense of
self-empowerment.
