"Do or do not. There is no try".    Yoda   

We are not a physical being having a spiritual experience. We are a spiritual being having a physical experience.     

            ...Dr. Erika Duffy.

What I do and Why:

When I was a teenager I suffered horribly with colitis for years. I was placed on medication that never worked and numerous tests. The Drs. could not figure out what they could put me on that would work since nothing they prescribed ever did. I was put in the hospital for further testing with a colostomy being considered next. That's when I thought "I don't think so!" and made a conscious choice to heal myself. That was my first wake up call.

When on vacation I suffered a spinal injury. I became totally crippled. I could not move and was so terrified I would never be the same again. That was my second wake up call and rather than have surgery, I started looking around for alternative ways my spine could heal.

A mental illness can be just a debilitating as a physical one, if not more so. Ten years ago I suffered with depression, black outs, anxiety attacks, post trauma stress disorder, and had so much vertigo that I could not tell the ceiling from the floor. I thought I was dying and felt totally out of control. I was again put on medication and was told it would take approximately 3 months for it to work and that the medication prescribed would create more vertigo until then. I dumped the medication down the toilet and vowed to regain control of my life and to heal by finding out why these things were happening to me. This was my third wake up call.

This led me to natural techniques and alternative ways to look at things which created me to heal mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. We all have the power!

C.O.R.E.™ Therapy/Education
From past programming (which can be negative and destructive) that is stored in our unconscious, we make conscious choices and decisions that directly influence our quality of life, health and relationships. The willingness to learn the core issues of why we are unconsciously repeating these patterns and by releasing this old programming allows us to become more aware of more positive choices and decisions we can make to have optimum health, more love and more success in our life.

HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis is a technique to access the subconscious/unconscious mind to eliminate old patterns of thought that may be interfering with what a person desires in his life. It has worked with weight reduction, smoking, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, self confidence, self esteem,and scholastic improvement to name just a few. The public has had many misconceptions about hypnosis. Contrary to public opinion, it is not sleep. Actually, it is similar to sleep that is like a daydreaming state where you are always in control, aware of your surroundings but are in a highly receptive state of mind. Meditation is a form of self hypnosis as well as missing an exit while driving. For information click here.

Reiki
Reiki is an ancient hands on healing technique from Tibet rediscovered by Dr. Usui in the late 1800's. We are alive because a life force (energy) is in us. It becomes disrupted by our negative unconscious and conscious thought forms (old programming about life and ourselves) and stress. This creates imbalances of energy in our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. Learning how to channel this natural healing energy (Reiki) through our palms balances this energy, releases stress, builds the immune system, shortens healing time, prevents illness and creates peace. It is something we can do on ourselves and others. It is easy to learn and lasts forever. Anyone can learn! For information on certification classes click here.

Spirit Regression

I have been very blessed to have been taught by Dr. Michael Newton, the author of "Journey of Souls" and "Destiny of Souls" Spirit Regression Work. I believe in the course of our lifetime we all question why we are here and what is our purpose.  To find out these answers creates great peace and harmony in our lives.  We then can walk in a life that is our "true purpose".

Essential Oils
Essential oils have been here for thousands of years. They are extractions from the different parts of plants that can be used by us for optimum health. Some of the benefits of oils are anti-fungal, anti bacterial, anti-tumoral, anti-coagulant, anti-infectious, they build the immune system, get rid of pain and release stress. The more we are willing to learn, the more we can apply all this knowledge to our life and health.
