Oh Yes, Let There Be Light!

Dear Friends,

As the days finally begin to get longer, light is the theme all around. I feel lighter and more energized when I rise with the sun for my contemplative practices – and actually see it! It is great to write, practice qigong, yoga, chanting and/or meditation while facing the rising sun. On rare sunny days, I drive with the window down and catch golden rays on my face. Lightening up my attitude is a powerful choice always available to each of us. Taking ourselves and circumstances less seriously allows more light into our spirits.

For gray days we often experience in Minnesota, there are full-spectrum lights to help boost our mood. It can also be wonderfully warming and energizing to simply envision (or sense) the warmth and light of the sun (or 10 suns!) just behind your navel, whenever you’re feeling chilly or sluggish. Raise your energy vibration with a basic chant: Repeat aloud 21 (or more) times Ohm or Aum, making the sound for each full exhale. Try one or both of these practices and share your experience!

I support your unique goals with compassionate coaching – empowering conversation – and profound energy healing support in person, by phone and at a distance. Check out the testimonials (link) below, and call or email today to schedule a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s time – and you’re worth it!

Improving the quality of life with compassion

Positively Healing is:

The Wonder Horse Way to help, heal, and support students, clients, and their families
Support for your goals: Coaching with empowering conversation, healing energy, holistic healing concepts and resources to help you make real progress toward your vision and intentions
Empowerment though truth, accuracy, and optimism
The practice of loving yourself through it all
Using the Law of Attraction which says, “What you focus on INCREASES.”
Choosing to focus on things other than: no, isn’t, doesn’t, don’t, won’t, can’t, shouldn’t, bad, wrong, etc.
Language supporting healing goals, like: “I’m healing my pain, illness, or injury.”, “I am always on a healing path.”, or “Healing is in progress!” or even “Open during remodeling.” instead of programming the cells of the body with ‘energetic, oral training’ like “I have pain all of the time.” or “I’m never going to get better.”
Releasing failure messages and false beliefs about limitation and rooting for the goodness, greatness, fun and (of course) optimal healing, even when there are doubts or fears
Re-framing and refocusing fatalism, permanence and dread, to pure potential and the pathway leading there
Awareness and practices of ‘No one (and nothing) has to be wrong’…working with it all
Honoring the value of each individual and each experience: Everyone is on an important mission, with no one (and no part) left out
Truly holistic healing ‘life support’

Autumn Events Report

WOMAN SPIRIT NETWORK RETREAT

In late October, fifty women gathered in Crosslake, Minnesota to focus on healing, creativity, community and spirit. The theme this autumn was ‘Lifting the Veil – Connecting with Your Higher Self’. Group drumming, presentations, opportunities for sharing stories and the light of our hearts were ample. One standout aspect of this retreat is that its aim is not to create profits, but to regularly connect and serve women, in a place of respite and deep healing and transformation. Working with women in support of their positively healing journey is deeply inspiring, especially in this beautiful setting. The staff at Camp Knutson and volunteer women running the retreat always work to make it a phenomenal experience for participants, whose ages range through three generations. It was my particular delight to get to know some of the original planners of this retreat, which has been occurring twice yearly for well over a decade.

REFLECTION DAY

I served as an energy healer practitioner for a Day of Reflection at Benedictine Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The theme: Global Heart; Humanities rite of passage from the love of power to the power of love.” was prompted by Anodea Judith – American author, speaker, and therapist. There are many wonderful ways to heal and reflect upon heart, spirit, meaning, beliefs, and life there. Exploring with open hearts and minds, more than a dozen women endeavored deeply together, and enjoyed solo time. It was wonderful to participate in the closing circle discussion after my final client session was complete in November. I look forward to returning in January!

PERSPECTIVES ON PEACE (and Horses!)

A wonderfully diverse group of students at Metro State University studied the course: Perspectives on Peace this fall. They delved deeply into the meanings of and pathways to peace through study, journal keeping, somatic practices – even peace games! I was invited to do an interactive introductory presentation with them: Qigong for Peace and Vitality, which was received well by all. At a later even there, I met a young woman from a horse sanctuary (nonprofit organization) in Hastings: ThisOldHorse.org. I expect and plan to engage in qigong healing and volunteer qigong training there in 2019. Peace and horses: two favorite subjects!
