We are Human Beings not Human Doings

I am really writing this post for myself and I know I’m not alone in our chronic desire to fill every minute with doing. Doing can be quite satisfying because you feel good about what you are accomplishing and our accomplishments can contribute to our feelings of increased self esteem. I know I love the feeling of crossing things off my to do list. However it is worth checking in from time to time to see what lies behind our doings. Are we motivated out of fear or out of a pure place of joy? I find when I have to fill every possible moment with what I deem as productive behavior that is a sure way to burn out.

It is important to pay attention to chronic busyness. Are you afraid that if you stop, smell the roses and just rest a bit that your life may fall apart? I know there have been times in my life that I felt I had to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. Of course this was self imposed. The more I felt I had to do the less my life would work.

Forgive Your Way to Optimal Health

Forgiveness and living from a place of love is the greatest of healing healing states of consciousness. There is much we can do in terms of nutritional supplementation, exercise, energy work however when we distill healing to it’s essence it comes down to forgiveness. Until we forgive ourselves and others we are going to be consuming great amounts of energy in managing negative emotions from shame and blame. I believe until we truly forgive ourselves and each other we will eventually manifest disease (dis ease) in our bodies. Another benefit of forgiveness is that you can start right now and there is no class, or product to purchase.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Energy Medicine Comes of Age

There are reams of information on Emotional Freedom Technique on the web including some excellent video tutorials on youtube. You need to explore several practitioners and their work discovering who you’d like to work with. Many offer books, podcasting and videos of EFT which allow you to get started right away. If you feel you need to personally work with a practitioner, it can be done right over the phone. I have worked with Brad Yeats and can highly recommend him. He is amazing. Brad is funny and is very intuitive in his approach to EFT. His website is http://www.bradyates.net

Body Mind Spirit Connection

I couldn’t do a health and wellness blog without covering the importance of the Body, Mind, Spirit Connection. My personal belief is that everything starts with Spirit and then manifests on the physical level of mind and body thus all are connected as one. We know the power of music, laughter, friendship, our environment on our well being. Where there are close net communities people tend to live longer healthier lives. We need the connection to others as much as anything to maintain optimal health in all areas of our lives.
