Be the Harmony

Emotional Boo Boos and the Shadow Effect: Self-Induced Healing to the Rescue!

Unresolved emotions you have pushed away over time or judged as bad are injurious to your health. Stuffed feelings move deeper into your cells and tissues and become the causes of such things as digestive, elimination, organ function disturbances, and very scary medical diagnoses. Consider loving those emotional boo boos into wholeness the next time they show up for you. Offer your cells and tissues large doses of loving kindness. It’s easier than you think.

You can tell when you’ve been holding on to or brewing an emotion. When it finally does come up it’s explosive like a volcanic rage, or you cry for half an hour or all day about some little thing, or you’ve been worrying about the same seemingly trivial thing for years.

Old school for healing emotions was years of sitting with a counselor or therapist remembering and facing every crappy experience. Catharsis was big. Newer, less traumatic options besides screaming and yelling can encourage your release from emotional boo boo bondage. No matter what you choose, energy healing self-help is a valuable complement.

Start right where you are in this moment. Imagine loving every part of your self, the good stuff and the bad.

When you judge your feelings as harmful, bad, and shameful, you disassociate or separate parts of your self (shadow side). Today we know that your cells respond in a nano-second to your thoughts and feelings. That can be harmful or harmonizing. Every one of those feelings you push away or deny, suppress or judge to be not good, or someone else judges for you to be not good are pieces of you that you can bring into wholeness with love.  

Years ago a spiritual teacher talked about the importance of healing your emotions.  He said you could know God best through your feelings. My teacher gave this analogy.

If you fall down and severely cut your elbow so blood and bone are exposed, your immediate, innate response is to pull your elbow close to you and do whatever it takes to bring the elbow back to full health and usefulness. You go to the hospital. You might even kiss it like your grandmother used to do for you as a child. You will surely hold it to your body to stop the bleeding while you get more help. You baby your healing elbow, protect it from bumps, and keep it clean. Eventually nurturing it back to full health because you need to be able to use your elbow, right?

Do the same for your emotions and feelings: nurture them back to full usefulness. You need emotional balance more than you require your elbow. This is important because healthy emotions are a doorway to a sensitive awareness of things that are not physical and cannot be seen with physical eyes.

Parts of you, sticky thoughts and feeling pieces, sometimes called the shadow side, may be returned to wholeness, neutral; that place of being without any emotional “charge” good or bad. Consider lovingly drawing closer to you like an injured elbow, your emotional “elbows” or boo boos. Raising your feelings and emotions to a compassionate level of understanding connects you to a Force that is felt like Grace is felt.

How do you actually do this loving into wholeness thing? Begin by observing, being present with a feeling. When you find yourself judging or self-loathing or hating yourself or another person, shift the disturbance this way. Catch yourself when something is bad, shameful, obnoxious, rude, resentful, ridiculous, and say to yourself, preferably out loud: “I love the part of myself that is rude,” or “I love the part of myself that is mean,” or “I love the part of myself that I see reflected in that person who is being disrespectful to Mother Earth.”  

This might be a stretch, I know, I’ve been there. It really tests your mettle. Do you really mean it? And it gets easier. Love when you recognize judging. Love when you recognize hating. Love when you recognize shaming or belittling.

Can you imagine, for example, how loving the parts of yourself that you judge as ugly might have something to do with whatever parts of you want to continue to attack yourself as in an auto-immune disease? It is the same for any disease: cancer, AIDS, diabetes, heart disease. You may have to repeat self-love and healing your emotional elbows or boo boos a number of times to have a physical impact, especially deep-seated issues. Or, will you?

This is where the Instant Healing Zone comes in. One of the most exciting benefits of applying regular Healing Touch Quick Steps self-induced healing is that calling on additional Source energy to unburden and uplift your energies, frees up stuck energy. It doesn’t matter how long energy has been stuck. It is simply stuck energy that needs to be flowing cleanly. The fact is Source – Creative Intelligence, Big Picture energy, The Force that Edgar Cayce used to call it, is bigger than any earthly disturbance, faster than the speed of light. It is unconditional love.  You access this for healing.

Right now you can apply a Healing Touch Quick Step called Love Your Self; the perfect one to give yourself when an emotional boo boo or shadow begins ruling your present moment.

Cross your hands in front of you and gently grab your opposite mid-upper arms (thumb on inside of arm, the rest of your fingers on the outside of the arm). Relax your shoulders, arms, hands and fingers and simply be with your body’s natural system of healing for a minute or so. Then wrap your thumb and fingers around your left INDEX finger. Again, relax your shoulders, hands, arms and fingers. Comfortably breathe for a minute or so. Then switch hands and wrap your thumb and fingers around your right INDEX finger for another minute or so, breathing normally all the while. Then wrap your thumb and fingers around your left LITTLE finger and simply be in the hold for a minute or so. Then finally switch sides and wrap your thumb and fingers around your right LITTLE finger for the same amount of time.

Supporting your shadow effect healing, bringing your emotional elbows or boo boos into wholeness may be that simple. Actively love your separated parts as they show up, and nourish your body-mind-spirit energies with Healing Touch Quick Steps. Drawing your emotional elbows into yourself with compassion expands your connection with Source-Creative Intelligence. Starting with yourself, healing your own emotional boo boos makes it easier for you to feel kindness for others.

Many blessings for your health and wholeness,

Lynne McTaggart, Dan Brown and Instant Healing - Are you ready?

Today I’m announcing my new book, and letting you know some cool synchronicities about it too.

Instant Healing is on sale now. Your Body’s Been Waiting for This!

Instant Healing – Accessing Creative Intelligence for Healing Body and Soul is the complete title of the book. It’s on sale now through Xlibris.com. You’ll find buying details at the end of this entry if you are interested.

First, I want to let you know that in November, when all goes well, on Tuesday, November 10 we’ll have a campaign to launch the book on amazon.com. Right now I am gathering endorsements from authors, and bonus gifts from as many partners as possible to offer to anyone who buys the book on that day – November 10. Every one who does buy Instant Healing on that day in that 24-hour period will be helping raise awareness for this timely information, which in turn gives the book tremendous exposure. Plus, you get LOTS of bonus gifts from my partners. Yay!

If you are someone, or you know anyone, who wants to participate in my book launch campaign with amazon.com by giving a bonus gift, please contact me at Info@healingtouchquicksteps.com. I’d love to connect with you about partnering on this far reaching campaign. I am happy to support your work too.

The book launch campaign and your efforts all help to get the book in the hands of as many people as possible with information that I know can change how the world thinks, feels and acts about healing, especially with all of the chaos around health care and funky viruses.

Instant Healing is first class, high quality, top of the line premium, gorgeous. With 160 pages of full color pictures, graphics and life-sized close-ups, the book is 8.5 x 8.5 inches, and contains 50 Healing Touch Quick Steps you can do anywhere, anytime to bring your body and spirit into harmony, plus wisdom you might be reading for the first time. The pictures help you "get" it without using your brain. You can quickly look at a picture and know how to help yourself.

I showed a review copy of Instant Healing to the owner of our local Chinese food restaurant and she confided that she could not read English. I said, “No problem, just look at the pictures.” She was able to apply the self-help in less than 30 seconds.

Safe. Proven. Easy to apply.

What you learn here will help you become healthier and stay healthier. Your Body’s Been Waiting for This.

Science and Spirituality FINALLY agree. You can harness this knowledge for healing your body and soul. In addition to being a condensed version of a "medicine brew" as visionary activist Caroline W. Casey would call it, that includes snippets from Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Lynne McTaggart, Institute of Noetic Science, Eckhart Tolle, as well as sparkling gems from others like Mary Burmeister, Gregg Braden, Pythagoras and Paracelsus too. You might be surprised when you read how simple instant healing is.

Even if science hadn’t proven it, I’ve experienced it time and time again while giving my clients healing sessions. The moment someone starts talking about her failed marriage or his lost job, the life force flow takes a dive. The second the person switches to talking about her cat or dog or the last thing the new baby did, the life force soars. Hmm. Your pulses tell a story.

Now I am so excited about the “Science and Spirituality agreeing” part because of three synchronistic things:

1. I hear that Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol, is on sale.
2. Lynne McTaggart’s work in The Intention Experiment was a key influence in Instant Healing (my book); she is featured on Pages 12, 22 and 148; and it appears,
3. Lynne McTaggart’s work is listed and iterated in Dan Brown’s book as a major factor in his plot development that includes one of the characters having written two books on bridging science and spirituality!

How timely is that?

Also, my book, Instant Healing, will be displayed for 3 days as well as being featured in a full color, full page ad in the catalog for the Miami Book Fair International, November 13-15, 2009! If you are in the area, stop by and take a look at my book at Xlibris’s booth. I guess there will be over 100,000 people there from all over the world – literary agents, book sellers, publishers, and so on. So create your best parking space in your mind ahead of time. (Can you tell I am excited about all of this?!)

So, back to how to buy the book. You can buy now directly from Xlibris.com, or you can wait until the November 10th launch day and buy it from amazon.com. It’s not available on amazon.com yet. They need some time to get it into the channels of distribution. Or, you could buy a copy now from Xlibris.com and buy another one or two on the launch day for friends and loved ones for Christmas. I wanted to give you options.

You’ll reach for this book a lot just like a favorite cookbook. It contains a lifetime of health benefits. If you want to help someone feel better in 10 seconds or less, this might be the book to give.

Here is what some people who have seen the book are saying:

“It’s really fun.”

“Keeps my interest, each page is fresh and alive.”

“I love how it feels in my hands.”

“The colors are amazing.”

“This book makes me smile.”

“I’ll keep this one on my coffee table.”

“Great healing consciousness and wisdom too.”

What a lovely way to influence your personal health and well being, and have fun at the same time! When was the last time you read a book that actually felt as good holding it as reading it?

So, if you can’t wait until November 10 to buy Instant Healing, you can buy online through Xlibris.

Go to www.InstantHealingBook.com and click on the Buy Now button for all of the details.

That’s it for now. Thanks for sharing in my enthusiasm. Instant Healing is the culmination of 4 years of research and development plus 9 months of putting together every picture and graphic, and a thousand (just kidding) re-reads to make sure everything fit perfectly. It has truly been a divinely guided project. Thank you for sharing this moment with me. And thanks for envisioning its success in the world too.

Take care. Take great self-care. Many blessings,

What is Harmony?

What is harmony and what are you doing when you harmonize something like an emotion, for example, fear?

Well, first let’s look at the word ‘harmony.” Even if you are not sure what harmony is, you have a sense of what it is NOT. Layoffs, can't afford health care, can't pay mortgage, lost house, homeless, lost savings - These are plenty of deep survival issues about which you can feel fearful, and they say that something is out of balance. Feeling out of balance is NOT harmony.

What if you look at world events, fear or anything - anything at all - as simply energy? What if your pain or discomfort is a stuck or wacky energy response experience? Certainly recovering from a bout of fear seems more attainable than fixing the world economy. Energies of fear, loss, sadness, hopelessness, frustration and anger may very well be encouraged into a sense of order and comfort with energy healing self-help. This is important because in spite of all the disturbances occurring in and around your world, harmony is occurring all over the place too! We exist in an ocean of harmony. Yes, "doo doo" happens, AND there is mostly harmony. Harmony you have some control over invoking.

Define harmony: ‘an agreement; accord; a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts.’ In other words, harmony can mean that various parts, relationships, and interactions are all getting along well together. Thus, harmonizing is an activity or movement of energy that causes harmony or accordance or a pleasing arrangement of parts to exist.

Consider this. You have billions of interactions and relationships taking place within your body as well as your outer world every second; yes every second. For instance relationships with family, friends, pets, co-workers, at church, as well as your thoughts, feelings and actions all need to comfortably “get along with one another” for you to experience a sense of balance or stability in any given moment. Your body, for example, has hundreds of millions of cells, thousands and thousands of special body tasks and unique organ function details that are all interconnected and basically do relate pretty well together. This is important because paying some attention to your personal harmony will most certainly influence subtle and not so subtle occurrences in your life. When you feel peace and tranquility, everything and everyone around you may know it too.

Harmony is unique to you. To you it may mean stress relieved, immune system boosted, muscles toned, elimination and digestion improved, circulation increased, or that often debilitating emotion called fear disarmed. Harmony is also less specific. For me it is a state of being in an effortless ease, grace and joy; an uplifting flow my body and soul rhythms synchronized with Nature’s rhythms.

“Why synchronize with Nature with all of the changing weather patterns, tsunamis, hurricanes, wildness and unpredictability?” you might ask. Well the fact is you cannot separate yourself from Nature. Your body is an exquisite articulation of Nature. You are part of a Unified Field of Consciousness or Web of Life with a Source, Creative Intelligence energy in action, continuously animating and creating life. You always get to choose participating with instead of against your natural state of being. Healing Touch Quick Steps energy healing self-help is one way to support your alignment with Nature. It doesn’t mean “doo doo” will never happen. “Doo doo” still happens only now you handle it gracefully because you’re connected with “Big Picture” harmony. Ah.

What is fear doing to your body? When you stand in fear, your energy descends and cannot rise. Have you ever been so scared that you felt you might poop your pants? That is what fear does in an extreme case in the body of energy descending. This is important because it is your universal life force energy freely rising up the back of the body that brings in vitality. Harmonizing fear then has something to do with urging your body’s natural system of healing to rise up the back. Energy not rising = no vitality. No vitality = Destruction of health. This is important because when fear is harmonized, you are able to relax and receive nourishing life force to live your life well. Ah.

Harmonize fear now. Hold your index finger. Wrap your thumb and fingers around your index finger and gently, I do mean gently, be with your body's natural system of healing. Relax your arms, fingers and hands. Holding your index finger is tapping into Source energy. How great is that?

What this all means for you is that you have options in addition to conventional medical care to help your self align with harmonious forces of Nature by applying Healing Touch Quick Steps. Paying attention is where it all begins to change.

When you do not feel strong enough or healthy enough and fear overwhelms you, take it easy for the moment. Even when you are perfectly healthy, fear still creeps in. Whatever is going on, whenever fear comes forth, disarm it as smoothly as water sliding off a duck’s back by gently holding your index finger for a while and then hold the other index finger too. Hold it all day long if you need to. Sit in your rocking chair and hold your index finger. You are actively choosing to regain harmony. Watch your energy shift. Think about that ocean of harmony that is occurring all around you right now. Your natural state of being is peace and harmony. Ah.

Take care. Take great self care.Many blessings,

Barbara

Fall in Love With Your Life

Happy Fall Equinox!
The message for today is:

Fall in love with your life and be the scientist of your spiritual practice.

I know it has been a while since I've written. I basically took the last 2 months off from my development of the Healing Touch Quick Steps® programs and marketing. I was beginning to feel way too much pressure to do and be too much. So, I have waited for Spirit to enliven me back into the writing mode. And today I celebrate my return!

During my time off, I became newly acquainted with a very-different-from-ocean-energy, great body of water. Spending 4 days watching Sun and Moon rise on the North Shore of Lake Superior, I found a few agates and some very cool jasper rocks. I also discovered a deep stability exuding from formidable Lake Superior with her constantly moving oftentimes robustly agitating waters that feels profoundly sound to me - sound like a solid foundation; sound like the center, the core of Earth is stable. The vibration of the area filled with ocean-like waves and glimmering light seems to be highly magnetic. In fact I found a small piece of red jasper on the shore that actually had a third of its weight variegated within the jasper as hematite. When I held a magnet to it, the magnet stuck to the rock! I had the sense that as a resident of the west coast where Earth's magnetic flux has always been more unstable and fluctuating, indulging in relaxing time at Lake Superior was a beneficial "re-set" for the magnetic particles within my brain. And so it is.

This morning, still on the cusp of this equinox, I acted on the urge to step out into the warming morning light and look for fresh red clover blossoms for tea. I came upon some plantain that wanted to be harvested, and I picked one of our red delicious apples from the tree. I became lost in the bounty and beauty of Mother Earth's land and trees, radiant sun, the perfect redness of the apple, the luscious verdant green of the plantain, and the perfect, perfect blush of red clover. I felt I was being made love to, given strengthening energy, and…I completely lost track of time. Ah.

I thought about anyone who might not have a yard to walk in and I wanted to say to you, "I encourage you to grow something that you can eat, even if it is only a windowsill herb garden. Eat an apple fresh from the tree (organic, of course). All of the elements have come together in a magnificent way for Apple to reach her peak. Buy from your local farmers' markets. God bless them all for the labors of love they provide us. Find some way to be in a human-plant kingdom relationship. To be so is truly a nourishing gift of love to yourself."

You might think how funny, seeking out and participating gracefully in relationship with the whole process including growing, loving and harvesting a plant. Consider this. Plants are masters of light, you see. Their entire existence is all about receiving the light of Sun into every part of their being, and transforming it, synthesizing it. After you pick 2 or 3 plump red clover blossoms that still have the morning dew kissed with sunlight in its folds, rinse them clean and place them in a cup. Fill the cup with boiling water, cover it and let it steep for 10 minutes or so. Now look at the red clover blossoms. Red Clover has given forth the best of herself into the water. The color, light and immediacy of her recent connection with Morning Sun are now in your cup. Add a little raw honey if you like and there you have it! Liquid light is now nurturing your being."

Nature is the force behind these miracles and mysteries of goodness and light. Nature is the force that you and I engage when we apply Healing Touch Quick Steps energy self-help. We are all made up of the same elements that are finely directed and wielded by the Creative Force within and around All of Life. On this day of equilibrium of Sun and Moon, day and night, I wish you Unconditional, Cosmic Love. When you actively participate in your self-healing, you are actively self-loving. Self-Healing = Self-Loving.

Many blessings,

Oprah and Eckhart have catapulted a momentum!

I am feeling a profound energy occurring as we are in the cusp of the Vernal Equinox and Aries Full Moon [Aries - Think strong, forceful enough to spring tulips up from their winter sleep.] I think I have never before felt the magnitude of such unconditional love energy surrounding me, and so I write. 

The thing I love most about my Healing Touch Quick Steps self-help practice (which is a direct off-shoot from my studies of Jin Shin Jyutsu® self-help) is that when I place my hands on my body, or when I give someone an energy healing session applying the art of Jin Shin Jyutsu®, I am touching Source energy, or Universal Consciousness. This is as Big Picture as it gets – Source, the Source of All Life. And the world is becoming aware of this very same Source in a new way.

On the Monday, March 17^th telecast with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle, someone asked “Who are we beyond the mind?” Eckhart responded that no conceptualization is correct. “Here is a hint,” he said. “We are the formless consciousness behind all that.”

I have been participating in the phenomenal 10 week telecast with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle and I am loving knowing that there are 2 million plus people who are focusing at the same time on allowing more and more of their “Big Picture” [my words] Consciousness to be the “Big Doer” [my words] in their lives. I think it was Oprah who said that night that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Eckhart said he feels it is, “I am the consciousness inhabiting this body.”

Recently, our much beloved Mary Burmeister, Founder of Jin Shin Jyutsu® of the West, returned to the Creator, the Eternal Formless. A student wrote a remembrance of her first class experience with Mary in about 1983. She said, “Mary walked into the room, sat down, put her hands in her armpits and said, “I’m giving my best friend a hug.”  Wow! Ponder that. Was she speaking of her "best friend" as the "consciousness inhabiting her body"? Those of you who have already discovered Healing Touch Quick Steps know that what Mary Burmeister was doing when she crossed her arms and placed her fingers in her opposite armpits is called “The Complete Breath Hug.” Thank you Mary.

Being a long-time and now life-long student and practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu, I learn that we are all alive because the Formless becomes Form AS us. Knowing the formless, that “consciousness that inhabits this body” as Eckhart calls it, could be a really cumbersome thing to do, requiring more of your sometimes limited time and energy, you might think. "It will take me too long to get there," you might think.

Reconsider. Where does one begin? You’ve already begun by reading this blog, by engaging your mind in thoughts of healing and Oneness; reading Eckhart’s book, participating in the telecast, and by including a daily self-help routine of Healing Touch Quick Steps. This is important because when I place my hands on my body and feel the pulsing of energies flowing, moving, changing in the moment, and my body responding in the movement, surface to deep and deep to surface, I am truly having an effortless (key word, effortless) personal experience of a Formless/Impersonal Source. And, I didn’t know that’s what was going on when I first began doing it 17 years ago. Especially tuning in to Oprah and Eckhart, I'm having my own Aha! moments about healing touch self-help. You have access to the very same Source when you apply your hands with Healing Touch Quick Steps self-help, as simply as placing your fingers in your armpits. Try it.

With the magnificent momentum of unconditional love and Cosmic forces that are surrounding all of us and everything on this planet during this particular Vernal Equinox, and your thoughts of the vastness of  the Formless part of yourself, consider this. The generations being born now will reap the benefits of awakened collective consciousness that were started in the 60's and 70's and 80's and so on. They won't need to go through the challenges many of us have already journeyed. That's effortless for the newcomers.

Author Greg Braden says we only need 8,244 people for a critical mass to cause collective shifts in awareness to occur. Translation: A momentum is with you and everyone in the world right now. Think of the Oprah programming, millions of people engaged [a lot more than 8,244], and, the ever-expanding peace movement, and, the increasing global stewarding movement. Like a rocket shot up into space, there is lift in its tail that carries what is behind it upward too. A lot of fabulous vertical energy moving is going on! Think of all of the people who are awakening every moment to the whole body realization of choosing life and harmony among all species. Ah.

Yes, there is chaos with this huge movement of energy, humanity in great flux, and, there certainly is a marvelous movement of goodness “afoot!” No matter what chaos and goodness are going on in the Universe, Cosmos, Gaia, and your own body and little every day world, remember adding Healing Touch Quick Steps is one of the easiest, most effortless ways for you to connect with Source, the Formless consciousness that is inhabiting your body, anytime, anywhere, in a very palpable, ever-expanding way. How great is that? Feel it pulsing. Listen for your harmony. It’s waiting to be heard!

Many blessings,

Barbara

2008 Looks to Be a Powerhouse Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

2008 has a Universal energy picture to be a powerhouse year filled with goodness encouraging us to breathe freely and fully while actively creating our inner and outer worlds. Let me explain.

2008 is a 10 year (2 + 8 = 10). From the study of sacred numerology, I know that the sacred number 10 came into the Universe as the Infinite Abundant Storehouse of Life Power. From my 18 years as a practitioner of the energy healing art known as Jin Shin Jyutsu®, I know that on the body, the divine intelligence of 10 is located on the upper back at the shoulder blade area where our "wings" are, and helps us receive the Infinite Abundant Outpouring of Life Power through our breath freely and expansively.

Also, 10 is 1 amplified 10 times. The sacred number 1 is the divine intelligence known as The Prime Mover. Located on the body at the inside of the knees, its essence is very physically active and moves anything that needs to move. Its nature is vertical connecting the heights and the depths of us.

So, what rings true for me is that 2008 with its Universal energy pattern of 10 and 1 is full of possibilities and full of uplifting, shifting, "Great Movement" potential. 1 is Unity. One Thing connects heaven and earth. Let it be so for you too. And so it is.

On that joyful note, may I remind you to check out my website www.healingtouchquicksteps.com for superb self-healing products, upcoming classes, as well as finding a practitioner so that you experience this year 2008 in a way of being in life effortlessly - with ease, grace and joy. Take care. Take great self-care!
Blessings,
Barbara

Not Everyone Can Heal

Every human being has the same "built-in" natural system of healing, and yet, some people don't heal. On a spiritual level we are all perfect health, there is no imperfection. And, eating right, thinking and acting right, exercising right, right livelihood and such are no guarantee for anyone that illness will pass us by. With energy healing everyday, a person can still get sick and die. Why such things happen are unknown. It just is what it is. What is thought-provoking is that some people are very good at struggle and strife. People who have a vested interest in being sick and miserable could very well have a difficult time holding on to their suffering when they begin a daily routine of therapeutic self-healing touch of Healing Touch Quick Steps.

Some of the emotional advantages of illness are that you become the center of attention. People help you and give you their time and energy, and they support you when maybe no one ever paid attention to you as a child, or pays attention to you now. Going to physical therapy and doctors might be the only time someone feels cared for or physically touched or special in the world. Maybe you know someone who burns the candle at both ends with work, play and relationships and getting sick or hurt every once in a while is the only way to stop the chaos, to retreat and get some rest. And, it all happens subconsciously. Is it the person's default mechanism for getting through life with a little love and attention, or peace and quiet? Quite possibly.

Of course not every person who gets sick or hurt has a vested interest in being sick. Even if someone's behavior pattern does hold on to illness as a valuable asset, a slight "tweak" to the system (with Healing Touch Quick Steps, for example) may be all that is needed to reinstate harmony for the rest of his or her life. Ever-growing numbers of folks do recognize the messages, learning and (sometimes terrible) gifts from an illness. These people tend to be happily motivated to live and enjoy life to the fullest and they actively participate in their health creation and recovery. If you are a healthy, thriving life "activist," you are the kind of person who may really enjoy the unburdening and uplifting energies that can be felt from regular Healing Touch Quick Steps. You not only acknowledge when you might be in your own way and quickly get out of it, you also encourage, welcome and nurture your wholeness.

Consider this. No matter the size or shape or personality of sickness, when you can know a deep peace and harmony that comes through the repetitive involvement in your body's natural system of healing, and ease, grace and joy are a visceral part of who you are in the world, your personal energy enlivens and harmonizes everything around you. Since human beings learn from experience then, as Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Take care. Take great self-care.

Blessings,
Barbara
