Ah! The holidays! As a child there is nothing like the anticipation of all the joy that the holidays bring but as we grow older, it seems as though we take on some stresses that we would rather not have. Here are some tips that can help relieve the stress and tension: Take Care of Yourself Get regular exercise; take it easy on the caffeine, sugar and alcohol; get enough sleep; eat healthy food — all the things that are good for our well-being -you know this stuff. Take a mini-break to get grounded Visualize your feet being connected to the earth, those connections going through carpet, cement, etc. and down into the earth.  Also the healing energy of the earth coming back up through your feet to the top of your head and beyond connecting you to the heavens, keeping you strong and balanced.  This can be done anywhere, even standing in a line! Let go of expectations That things need to be a certain way That people around you need to behave a certain way That you need … Continue reading →

Got Clarity? Replenish with your own mini-retreat! One of my husband’s very favorite things to do is lie on a beach with no schedule to have to conform to (isn’t that everyone’s?). This isn’t always feasible, since we have busy schedules and live in the desert of southern Utah. So last week I took him to Jamaica for his birthday, and for six days, that’s what we did- enjoyed the beautiful Caribbean water and weather with no phones, computers, or agendas to stick to. Ahh…it was heaven! It got me thinking…why don’t I add little mini-retreats like this into my life on a more regular basis?  Well, I mean without the amazingly clean smell of the ocean air, the sand between my toes, and meal prep all taken care of for me. But I can still derive some of the benefit of big get-aways like this by finding ways in my everyday life to retreat and renew. Here is my list I came up with of things I can do to replenish my soul when my cup is nearing empty-or … Continue reading →

The sound may be faint as the stirring of butterfly wings or as loud as a brass band on Fourth of July. Or you may not hear a sound at all, but feel an urging, an inner pull, a sense of excitement and longing that resonates from within. This is the call to create, and it is universal, bidding each of us to bring something new into being. “Creativity is the Self searching for itself,” said George Gamez, Ph.D., author of How to Catch Lightning in a Bottle. We create in order to express our unique visions and perceptions. We create to communicate and to form a bond with our fellow human beings. Creative expression helps us feel connected to the world and builds bridges of understanding. It nourishes us and helps us grow, provides insights and deeper understandings. Creativity is fun, exciting and playful. It relieves stress and releases tension. It provides a way of communication when normal channels may be blocked or are insufficient—when we must speak in colors and textures and shimmering visions and music. Creativity is … Continue reading →

Question: Why don’t I feel like the energy work that’s been done on me in the past isn’t working like it should?

People ask me all the time what I think about crystals. There seems to be some controversy about this subject, but I think crystals are fabulous. 

Wow, I had such a fun time in Birmingham, Alabama last month! I taught my SimplyHealed Training to a great group of people. Many traveled to get there; one woman came all the way from New Zealand and another came all the way from Scotland!

I’m excited to introduce these certified SimplyHealed practitioners! These practitioners have completed the four-day SimplyHealed course, along with some additional requirements for the SimplyHealed Master’s Program. Hailing from several U.S. states as well as Australia, each of these wonderful women bring their own special gifts to and are great at the work — they can help you with all types of issues! Since I tend to be booked out about four months in advance, a great option is to have a session with one of them since they can get you in much sooner, usually within a week or two. Many more amazing practitioners will be added to the certified SimplyHealed practitioners page in the coming months.

If you’re ready to start your very own healing practice, this is the place to begin. Energy Healing Basics Clean & Simple is a 5-module online course for those who’ve had no training, or for those who may have a lot of training, and simply want to get more in touch with their gifts and more grounded in the field of energy work.

In part one of Chakra Energy Healing I described what the chakras are. Now let’s talk about how to assess whether or not your chakras are working optimally. This list is certainly not meant to diagnose any physical problems; we are just checking the energetic vibrations of these energy centers.

The purpose of chakra energy healing is to align and balance the Chakra system, which is one of our body’s electro-magnetic energy systems. It is comprised of seven spinning vortices of energy running from the root chakra at the base of the spine all the way up the midline of the body to the crown chakra on the top of the head.
