Sound healing using tuning forks is a simple but powerful modality whose popularity is growing. Sound works on emotional, physical, spiritual and mental status of a person. It is a tool for transformations and wellness. Hearing is through the ears but this affects the body even if the tuning forks are not touching the body. The earlier believe is that human bodies are a solid matter. Recent discoveries in the quantum physics show that everything that we assumed to be solid ma

We all have a dark side and we are masters at hiding it. We all have traits within us that we don’t like. Usually we choose not to look too closely or we practice complete denial. It’s not at all easy to get real with ourselves. I found there are two types of people in the world, those who want to know and those who want to believe. People don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed. Interesting, isn’t it? You can see it if you look at the people in your life. Do you know into which category you fall?

Several years ago, during the process of dealing with yet another painful situation she was going through, a friend of mine experienced a deep connection with her own feelings and needs. I like to refer to this as a connection with her core self. In that moment of clarity she exclaimed ''bloody awareness!'' She realised, or rather, re-realised that 'the secret' of whether you react to situations and outside triggers or whether you respond to the outside world acting from your core in harmony with your values is very simple – awareness.

In the previous blog I mentioned that the first step to happiness involves becoming free of your ‘tribe’ – whether that tribe is your family culture or society at large. By free I mean the ability to have your own freedom of thought and values within your tribe. Now some tribes are progressive and encourage growth and free thinking but all too often the tribe evolves far slower than its individual members, weighed down as it is by the speed of all its members.

The race is on! Your alarm has rung; you bolt out of bed and begin to go through your mental “to do list”. Before the day has started, you are already feeling stressed.

Everyone of us at one point or another may need relationship counseling. Some people think that relationship counseling is for couples, while in reality all couples-to-be, family members, employees with their employers, and clients with their professionals can make use of it during troubling times. In fact, it should not even be restricted to troubling times. Couples who would like to enhance their relationship, for example, can also go for it. This article will describe seve

What is stress? It is certainly a word that we toss around a lot and loosely. When was the last time you were “stressed out”? Was it work related? Family? Financial? Relationship? What happens to your body when you are stressed out? How do we find stress relief? Most of us have heard the expression that “all disease is stress related”, but what does that really mean? The changes that take place in our bodies are certainly real. Our diagnosis is real. So, how does ‘stress’ contribute to DIS-EASE in the body…DIS-COMFORT?

Top 15 Questions to Plan For Success To be a success in your career, you have to spend time not only IN your career (painting, teaching, coaching, designing, nursing, etc), but also ON your career (planning, marketing, networking, visioning, etc). This holds true for all parts of life. If you want to be successful in business, corporate life, relationships, parenting, teaching, learning, or whatever else is important to you, the necessity is the same. Step out of the system to mold it. A vase is not created by stepping into the clay.

SELF-HELP for Self-Help = THINKIATRY Please Click this Link to view Video. THINKIATRY is SELF-HELP for Self-Help! Einstein once said “The solution to a problem will never come about from the same level of thinking that created the problem in the first place.” Paraphrased, that’s: “The solution will never come about from the same level of thinking!” Dr. Einstein recognized levels of thinking, confirming Thinkiatry’s founding premise: Our emotional lives and happiness cannot be changed without first understanding how our minds work and changing the way we think!

We are all surrounded by clutter. Everywhere we look, everywhere in our life, there is too much. There is too much to do. There is too much to buy. There is too much to worry about. There are too many obligations. There is too much stress. And the heart of the "too much" often lies in our homes. We have dishes we never use, clothing we never wear, food we never eat, hobbies we never engage in. Our society is always pushing us toward more. We need MORE: We need the latest and greatest electronic gadgets. We need clothing that is in style.

Horses are natural peacemakers As I was growing up, I often found myself in the role of family peacemaker and wondered what it would take for people to focus more on the ways that connected them rather than divided them particularly within families. I guess this is one of the reasons why I decided to study law, and to forge a long career in divorce/family and litigation law.

The first thing to do when creating something new for yourself, such as a new job, is to be clear about what you want.

The blues. We all encounter a period of time when we are feeling down. Maybe there was job loss, the end of a relationship, or trouble dealing with an illness. Those things naturally bring us a feeling of depression. Usually when the thing we are dealing with is over or resolved, we start to feel our mood lift and we begin to feel better. But what if you don't begin to feel better? What if it becomes too hard to think positively or see the light at the end of the tunnel?

How To Change Anything In my work, I talk with people every day about the things that hold them back from creating the life they want to have. These things range from thoughts of dis-empowerment, feelings of depression or fear, to behaviors like procrastination and avoidance. When I tell them the answer to creating the change they want, it always sounds too good to be true. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true, it is not true, right? This is the one exception: our mind. We complicate our lives to the point that we box ourselves into a corner, with no way out.

This week, I saw two posts on Facebook that spoke of there being "no good men" out there in society. It broke my heart that so many women are disheartened in their dating search. As women, we are programmed from the start to want the beautiful wedding complete with the dress, the good food and music, and the knight in shining armour. The reality of it is, after that four hour wedding comes a lifetime of marriage. Are you ready for marriage and commitment? Does your relationship resume measure up?

OUR THOUGHTS CREATE OUR FEELINGS Please click this Link to view Video. In video #1 we learned about Thinkiatry’s 1st Principle – Thinking.

There’s no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we communicate. Perhaps “change” is not the best choice of words. Rather than saying that we have turned into different communication-style beings, it would be more fitting to say we’re adapting our communication skills to the new situation. If there’s one thing we have improved during these challenging times, it’s our interpersonal skills, starting with communication.

One of the perks of living in a digital age is that everything is accessible from the palms of our hands, even therapy it seems. Long gone are the days when people would slink on the therapist's sofa, tearfully narrating all their life’s problems.

There are two types of healing: physical and mental. Obviously, physical healing is easier as compared to mental healing. Physical healing is the defense mechanism of the body to prevent further spread of disease or infection and this can be achieved through medical treatment and medicines.
