When you travel on an airplane, you are instructed, “In case of an emergency, put on your own oxygen mask before helping others.” By taking care of yourself first you create energy to help others. In the same way, using self-help energy balancing techniques will give your body the chance to be strong, healthy and vital because it brings adequate energy to all parts of the body.

Attend the upcoming self-help wellness workshop to learn easy-to-use energy techniques that will help reduce stress and anxiety, relieve pain, take care of chronic symptoms and create emotional balance. You will discover how easy it is to have a daily energy practice in your life that will prepare your body for whatever you ask it to do.

Join Deborah Myers, director of Health at Your Fingertips, at the Malaya Center on Friday May 29th and Saturday May 30th and empower yourself towards a healthier life. For more information and to register for the workshop, go to www.healthatyourfingertips.com or call 707-546-5692.

To get a “sneak preview” of the workshop, join Deborah and Joan Silva, a money counselor in the East Bay, on Thursday, May 7th at 7:00 pm PST for a free tele-seminar.

You will come away with easy-to-use energy balancing movements that will relieve pain, reduce stress, create breath and increase your vitality and prosperity. Sign up by going to http://www.the-money-minute.com/may7signup.html. Once you have signed up, you will receive notice of the telephone line and access code for the call.

Mark your calendars for two great opportunities for self-healing!!

March 2009 - What does it take to cultivate awareness, attention and acceptance in these trying social and economic times? This is a simple, timely question, but it is not easy to address. For most of us our mind will find the mere mention of this idea uncomfortable and will wander off. Ah, but we can celebrate the mind’s wandering. We can enjoy the idle daydream that takes us away from the present moment and still observe our mindless state!

Once acknowledged in this way, we can use our mind to be curious about what else is present during those precious, if mindless, moments! We can begin to free ourselves from needless suffering at the effect of unconscious, habitual thoughts and feelings. I see this natural human phenomenon as a ready-made opportunity to observe the mind’s behavior and to attend to what our intuitive senses can tell us.

Relaxed observation is the beginning of awareness. To further cultivate the three As of awareness, attention and acceptance in everyday life we must consciously commandeer the workings of our mind, give it quiet direction to pay close attention and deliberately engage our senses in collecting information, impressions and perceptions with openness, non-judgment and compassion.

The primary purpose of focusing on being aware, attentive and accepting is to eliminate unnecessary suffering by cultivating insight into the workings of our mind and the nature of our perceived world. In time, we are better able to manage our mind with intention and compassion.

At my last networking meeting, I asked a hypnotherapist if New Year’s resolutions made January the busiest month for him.

“Yes!” Then he said, “However, those resolutions can be their first obstacle.”

“Why would a goal be an obstacle?” I asked.

“They really wish they accomplished that goal right now, but they chose to wait. They’re waiting for one more party, one more month, one more year. They’re always waiting for something else to happen.”

He continued, “There will always be a reason to wait. But the people who have the most success, are people who start doing something right now.”

Do you have goals for 2009? What are you waiting for?
