The Need for Healing and Restoration

I've had a lot of changes and stress in my life in the past year, and even more in the past month. I'm not complaining; it is just the truth. I'm sure many can relate! As someone who works in the healing professions, you would think that I have a long list of healers with whom I am able to trade sessions. While there are many wonderful healers I work with, I almost never make time for myself.

What does time for myself mean? Taking time to exercise, to breathe and meditate, to write, time for energy work with my friend and colleague Paul Lamb (excellent reiki master, chi gong therapist, reflexologist, massage therapist), regular chiropractic adjustments with my wonderful chiropractor Dr. Eric Santo, occasional chats with my friend and amazing medium and healer Karen Noe, and massage therapy as regularly as I can fit it in!

What is the result? Healing, nurturing and restoration of spirit, physical energy and positive mood. I feel great! My mind is more clear. Pretty good, huh?

It is important for me to work with healers that I trust, which is why I am mentioning their names! In addition, personal growth and self awareness are goals that I prize highly in my healing work.

How can you fit in just a bit of healing and nurturing for yourself today?

Birth of Peace and Creativity

I just got off the phone with a colleague of mine, Anton Bluman, a NeuroBiofedback Therapist. Just trying to set a time to meet, to join him and our two colleagues Rory Pinto, specializing in spiritual Recovery, healing, meditation and guidance, and my dear friend Paul Lamb, reiki master, chi gong therapist, for a return to their fantastic program, New Perspectives, on RocklandWorldRadio.com, was a daunting task. (Check out my last visit to the program at

I have concluded that life is just too busy! How does this happen? I am mindful in my daily practice, but also usually multitasking. While my weekdays are very full, I promise myself that this weekend I will allow myself at least one hour each day for reflection, meditation and peace.

I already know that I am at my most creative when I give myself the time and space for new ideas and feelings to emerge. If I give myself some time, but not enough time, the ideas remain ungestated in my mind or heart, but nag away at me until I give them the nurturance to bring them to full term, when they joyfully spring forth.

I promise to continue to give myself the space to give birth to myself!
