Thanksgiving is a special holiday. It is a wonderful opportunity to gather with our loved ones and be mindful of all of our blessings. Gratitude is a powerful emotion and one that is beneficial for our health. When we focus on what we are blessed with, we cannot focus on our fears and worries. By focusing on gratitude, we drive away feelings of anxiety. This lightens our energetic system which improves our mental, physical, and spiritual health.    Gratitude can be a powerful healer but it can be taken a step further. We can feel thankful for our blessings while deep down still harb ..read more

One of the common themes of these blogs is your energetic system’s need for maintenance. Everyday the stresses of living can take us out of balance. Our chakras can be overactive or underactive, our auras congested, and our energy system as a whole dirty with negative energy that will ultimately manifest itself in physical, mental, or emotional ailments. It is for this reason that I believe so strongly in Pranic Healing because it is a way of “tuning up” and maintaining our energy systems. But I recognize that these terms “tune up” and “maintenance” are loaded and may give you the wrong impre ..read more

It is now June and most of us are dreaming of the perfect summer vacation. Who doesn’t love the beach? It offers a place to relax, play, and explore. It is both aesthetically gorgeous, with sunsets and reflections, and emotionally poignant, as the place that holds charmed memories with loved ones. For these reasons, many people consider it their  “happy place”. What you may not have considered, is that there are a host of energetic reasons why this may be true as well.    From an energetic perspective, the beach is magical.    The coastal salt air and salt water, whil ..read more

Our bodies can be amazing communicators. When working correctly, they tell us what they need to be healthy. Unfortunately, the wear and tear of living and the stress of our many responsibilities can cloud our energetic system. Dirty and used energy in essence clogs our chakras and auras and prevents our body from communicating its needs. When energy is flowing through you, you are able to feel if there is a blockage… because it feels different. It is uncomfortable compared to the rest of your body. These blockages start as an energetic phenomenon but, if uncorrected, will grow into an emotion ..read more

The winter months have finally passed and spring is upon us. Winter can be a difficult season from an energetic perspective. We are limited in our access to fresh air, ground, and solar prana as the days are shorter, darker, and temperatures and weather have us spending more time indoors. Spring is a marked change and a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the energetic benefits it provides.    One of my favorite activities to do once the weather permits, is to hike in the woods. The serenity and beauty of nature is not only healthy for our mental state, giving us a chance to ..read more

February is here and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. It is a day of love, symbolized by the heart, an image that is inescapable on February 14th. Heart shaped boxes of candies, heart shaped Valentine’s cards, and heart shaped balloons are gifted every year to the people we love. With hearts on our mind, I feel it is a fitting time to talk about our heart chakras and their role in healing. Every person has a front and back heart chakra. We are familiar with the importance of the physical heart, but are you aware our heart chakras play an important role in not only the health of ou ..read more

There is a saying concerning success that you may have heard that goes “The enemy of great is not bad. The enemy is good”. In other words, choosing to settle for good performance will keep you from greatness. This paradigm has been applied to business, athletics, and competition of all sorts but I believe that a similar notion applies to health. If the enemy of great is good, then the enemy of feeling great is feeling ok.   When we are sick or unhealthy, in any form, be it mentally, physically, or spiritually, we become fixated with our condition and the pain associated with it. W ..read more

The health benefits of physical exercise are well known. We are all familiar with how regular exercise can strengthen our cardiovascular system and maintain musculature. What is often omitted from the conversation about the benefits of exercise is its positive energetic effects on the body. In addition to helping your heart, lungs, and muscles, exercise is extremely healthy and beneficial to your energy system. The dynamics of lifting weights, playing sports, swimming, jogging, etc. require stretching, contracting, and rotating your body. This sort of activity in a part of your body causes t ..read more

Do you ever feel that there is something not quite right with your health? People ask you how you are doing and you know that when you answer “Fine”, that it isn’t quite the truth.   When you know that something is “off”, you’re always right. The body, mind, and spirit work together to communicate to us what they need to stay healthy. It’s a remarkable system and one of the reasons I refer to my work as “facilitating” healing as the majority of the work is done by supporting the client’s self-healing. It is said in Craniosacral Therapy that we are following the guidance of your “inner ph ..read more

The seasons are changing and autumn has arrived. With the changes in the weather and the color of the leaves comes changes in our lives. The laid-back summer days are gone. Children return to school and we look ahead to the busy holidays.    The renewed obligations that come with this season can leave us pressed for time, low on energy, and stressed. To make time and juggle all our responsibilities, we can quickly neglect ourselves. When taking care of everything else, looking after our own well-being is often the first thing to go. This month, I urge you to be cognizant of your hea ..read more
