Embrace Your Passion
I embrace my passion and I imagine and feel my passion embracing me. We dance, sing and create the life we love. My passion is in partnership with my heart. Together they are powerful. Beauty springs up before us as we share what we love with the world. All aspects of myself come into harmony.
Responsibility
I would imagine the word responsibility invokes different images for people. We’ve all had a variety of experiences around responsibility. Most often responsibility makes me think of things I need to do or things outside of myself that I need to take care of. To act responsible.
We can use responsibility as a defense. To be overly responsible. Take on responsibility that isn’t healthy. As in trying to be responsible for other people’s reactions. Modifying your behavior so that other people won’t feel uncomfortable or angry. Your defense in response to trying to avoid someone else’s defense.
When things aren’t working out so well with all this defense going on we generally start the problem solving by pointing the finger outside ourselves. They ……, we can fill in the blanks with so many things. They just don’t get it. Ahem, ok go ahead get it out of your system. Unless you’re a saint we both know we are both going to travel down that blame path a bit. Sometimes a lot. We’ll rally our friends around us and they will conspire with us about how wonderful we are and how pathetic or awful “the other” is behaving. We are licking our wounds in hopes of healing them. In reality we are keeping them open and festered. Get the picture?
Let’s go back to responsibility. Responsibility to self. That’s right, point those fingers at yourself. This doesn’t have to be punishing. I know you wanted to punish the other. So now you might think you need to punish yourself. NO! Don’t go there. Take a deep breath and let it out. Do that several times and as you release your breath allow the tension to melt away as much as you can.
This isn’t about punishment. It isn’t about being bad. It’s about learned responses. Oh now isn’t that better. Learned responses. Kinda ties into responsibility pretty nice.
I’m not done with this topic, but right now I’m going to shift the laundry around and go out an enjoy this beautiful day a bit. I deserve it. I am responsible for my own joy. Yep, no one can take it away but me. See you soon.
If you need to talk to someone about your own responsibility issues feel free to call me for an appointment.
In Love,

Thymus Thump
The Thymus glands job is to produce and process T-cells or white blood cells. You can stimulate your immune system by stimulating the thymus gland which is located behind the breastbone.
Make a gentle fist and tap or gently pound over the thymus rhythmically. When ever I share this with students I always think of Tarzan swinging through the jungle and pounding his chest. Maybe he was onto something and all that chest pounding had a greater purpose,
.
Up the positive vibes by smiling. If you can focus on something you love, but you don’t have to. Sometimes when you are particularly feeling low it can be hard to think positive. Putting a smile on your face can help get that shift going.
Another good tool is the sound “ha”. Yep you got it. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Make it rhythmic with the thumping. Laughter stimulates the immune system. The “ha” sound sends a positive vibration into your body to shift the negative energy.
Give it a try.
ha ha ha ha ha

Joy
I like feeling the joy of source flowing through me.
When are you in those times of flow? I generally feel that flow when I am dancing, though not always. Other activities that help me get in that flow are tai chi, yoga, meditation. I remember times when working on art has helped me make that connection. There are times when I get engrossed in my garden that I feel that free flow.
How about you? Do you know what that feels like? Would you like to experience more?
Make an appointment with me and I will assist you in strengthening your connection to source, to your joy.

Loosing My Marbles
We all have some days where we feel like we’re loosing our marbles. I think the universe is just trying to re-arrange them to give us a different perspective. The universe will use those around us to help with the process. Here is Mumford after he spilled my marbles. :)

Smile, It Does A Body Good
It can be easy to get sucked into negativity some times. Especially if you are in the habit of watching the news or reading the newspaper. If you find yourself in a sour mood or maybe you just want to keep yourself more upbeat, SMILE. Science has proven that smiling can help improve your health. More good news…it doesn’t cost anything. Woo hoo. Now there’s another reason to smile.
Feeling down? Plant a smile on your face and see what happens. It may feel odd at first, but if you keep those corners turned up your mood will follow.
As a direct result of feeling better your stress levels go down. You can trick your body into relaxing.
Smiling is contagious. This is something you want to spread around the office and at home. Get in the habit of smiling at people and see what happens. Make it a genuine smile from the heart.
You will also be boosting the immune system, lowering blood pressure, releasing endorphins, natural pain killers and serotonin. Wow!
I feel better already.
You’ve most likely heard the saying, “be the change you want to see in the world.” It can start with something as inexpensive and as easy as a smile. A smile can be like the gentle movement of the butterfly in flight. Don’t underestimate the power of simplicity.
In Love,
Susan
When Things Fall Apart
Tom Lescher Aug 24 Astrology Update
I have done a good bit of “healing” work. Before going to the Barbara Brennan School of Healing I learned and practiced Reiki. I have also played with some other healing modalities. The latest being Matrix Energetics. I love the work. I love helping and supporting people through their journey.
It can be challenging to let go of what “that” looks like. Our clients and my ego want to see all sunshine and great health emerge. You know where everyone goes off smiling and happy. That doesn’t always happen immediately. Life is still a process and journey. Sometimes it gets messy.
I try to remind myself and my clients using this metaphor: When you are remodeling a house you have to remove the old and usually make a mess first before the new can be installed.
So don’t worry if things look a little messy. It may be the perfect time to go within yourself and discovery treasure within yourself that you have been ignoring. Tom’s astrology update in the link above reminded me of this.
In Joy,

Going Out of Your Mind
The astrology link above is an update for this weekend with Tom Lescher. I find his interpretations to be fitting and in alignment with my experiences.
With that said the energy is one of uneasiness with what is. Wanting to be “through it.” Through what? The transformation. The discomfort. I’ve found myself in that place of “I just want the change NOW.” You know the place when you want to do something to make the change happen.
The message I get is to keep coming back to myself. Take some quiet time. Go within. There’s no rushing anything. Find the joy in the moment. Take the time to meditate and be quiet. It’s not all about being quiet, but that is helpful when you find yourself on the hamster wheel going around and around in your head trying to get out of your present circumstance. Get in the habit or re-new your habit of being still. Yep, that’s another way of saying meditate.
Why? Meditation takes you within yourself to listen to the inner wisdom. It calms the nerves, quiets the mind. Keeps you from jumping off the cliff. Meditation will help you allow the change to happen within. Once the change happens within, you will find the change happening outside yourself.
More on meditation soon.
