Spring Internal & External Cleaning

Your body is talking to you, are you listening? It is that time of the year, to do some spring cleaning in the house and yard. Notice all the weeeds that have accumulated. It feels so cleansing to remove them and allow the beautiful flowers and grass to grow without interference. Have you also thought about doing some internal cleansing. Of course, physical cleansing that is appropriate for your body is really good. In this blog, I am referring to emotional cleansing which also affects your physical body. To explain further, my clients taught me the mind/body connection over 30 years ago. The information has been invaluable for my personal healing and professional services. I have helped many people heal their bodies and prevent physical problems. I offer intuitive body scans and a process that resolves the emotional caused blockages in the organs or glands so that the body parts can function properly. With a background in biology, I actually intuitively see the body parts, and can tell people the problems and help them to solve them. The information is in my book, "All You Need is HART" and my "Healing Your Body" CD. I am offering Spring Specials now for $15 minute sessions for only $39. GO to: www.lovetopeace.com/healingsessions.html Your garden does better when you cleanse what does not serve it, as does your internal emotional clearing. Then you can probably look and feel better, and allow yourself more success in every area of your life. You deserve it all! Go for it!

Please Teach Constructive Communcation & How To Raise Self-Esteem!

For most of my life, I have been teaching basic constructive communication and helping people raise their self-esteem, as a Marriage and Family Therapist, teacher, author and speaker. It is so crazy that we have such advanced technology and such backward thoughts about education. I have many brilliant clients who have the degrees and prestigious roles in their companies, and they are weak in what matters the most. Their riches do not give them the peace, love and fullfillment with their loved ones, until they can raise their self-esteem and listen and express themselves in positive ways. Wake-up teachers, administrators, Congressional leaders and everyone in powerful positions who can make a difference. Wake-up before we destroy each other with our high techcology, because we do not know how to express ourselves. I am holding the faith that it is happening now!!!

Reguvenate and Be Truly Alive

As a mature senior, I have actually become younger and healthier in many ways.
I honor what my body can do and avoid pushing it beyond its limits. I also stretch, exercise (including weight bearing), laugh a lot, balance my life between counseling, teaching and playing, and eat and sleep well for my unique body.
Are you?
It is never too late to take care of your body and help it prevent problems and heal itself. Our bodies have an amazing abiltiy to strive for homeostasis (balance). Help it do that and you can enjoy the sweetness and adventure of life!

Living in Gratitude Every Moment

All the earthquakes, storms, flooding, loss of jobs, fires, etc. remind us that our lives can change instantly. I believe that our only protection is our intuition. It is our all wise part that can guide us to safety and another job or opportunity.
This way of life is especially powerful when we live from gratitude.

I often say the words, "I am grateful for or to ____." Thanksgiving is a holiday that reminds us to express our gratitude and not take anyone or anything for granted. By the way, that includes you and what you do or say. So, set you intent to be grateful for all that you are and all that you have. That is one of the secrets to happiness.

Making a Difference Now!

A wise speaker shared how important it is to stop complaining. We do not need reasons all the time. We do need to observe and accept what is. Then focus on improving the situation if you can.

Sometimes I have to remind myself to shift in this way and it is very empowering. I often suggest to complaining clients that they focus on a solution. Their energy perks up and they feel more hopeful.

We do make a difference when we accept, avoid judging, and do what we can to make a difference. How are you making a difference? You know you can, by just staying in your peace, love and joy.

No More Excuses! Awaken Now!

We live in a time when so much information is available in the media, books, CDs, e-books, mp3 audios, workshops, classes, etc. It is available to all who are tired of struggling and feeling like a victim. On TV, Oprah Winfrey has shared so much, and Dr. Oz is offering many wonderful insights and solutions to help us be healthy and happy. It is time that we take our health, well-being happiness into our own hands. With all the support available also on the internet, and with determination we can change our lives. We can live in love, joy, health and abundance. Gor for it!

Loving Relationships

Do you know of anyone who is successfully maintaining a loving relationship? Or do you know of many people who have broken up with their loved ones, or are staying in an unloving relationship?
Could it be that we just don't know how or what it takes to have long lasting, loving relationships? That is what I would say, as a Marriage Therapist. We are unique but our problems are not. In my observation, we are doomed for failure because of the lack of insights and solutions needed.

Would we be expected to build a home without learning how and having a manual? How crazy it is to assume that we can build a loving home life without instructions or tools. I advocate that everyone study how to have loving relationships. There is so much information out there in the form of classes, workshops, books and CDs. I have learned so much from my personal life and my clients and I love sharing my books and CDs. Let's set the goal of creating great relationships! We want them and we can do it! Let's go for it!

How to Stay in your Peace During These Times& Make A Difference

As you well know, lots is happening in the world. Turmoil is rampant in our earth, oceans, economy and governments. As a therapist, I often see the turmoil in so many individuals, couples and families-- and this is in middle and upper class democratic America. Our news of domestic violence, gang murders, drunken driving accidents, shootings in schools never seem to end. The names just change. And now politicians in our government are trying to erase many years of costly fights for women and workers freedoms. To make sense out of this insanity, I perceive all problems and crisis as caused by our fears, and that includes anger, greed, control and abuse. Societies have still not learned that the most important things we have to teach our children are about loving themselves, communicating constructively, dealing with their feelings in healthy ways, and doing unto others want you want others to do unto you. Also, about tolerance of others beliefs and living from integrity and kindness. Schools must include how to be in healthy marriages and raise loving, caring children. When will we wake up to what is really important and what needs to be number one in our priorities, if we want a peaceful, caring world. All I can do is continue to help people to love themselves to peace and share their love and caring with others. Of course, I also need to be a model of good communication and living from integrity. If everyone would transform today to be the loving person they basically are, there would be instant world peace. Since everything is energy, I believe that we can even calm the earth and oceans. Our wonderful advanced technology has not stopped the violence. It is our hearts that need to be advanced much more than our technology, if we are to be in peace. Let's wake-up now and be the best caring people we can be to everyone, including ourselves. Let's make a positive difference in the world. What we do, say, and think does make a difference!

2012 - Time of Transformation

Wow! I can't believe it has been a year since I wrote a blog. I stopped because of the lack of response. And I felt motivated to comment now on the happenings in the Middle East.



I wish that there will be a peaceful transition of power from dictators to the people. I support democracy as it is everyones' human right to be free and choose their leaders. It is also their right to have opportuntities to speak their truth, serve others, and receive the funds they need to take care of themselves and their families. I am praying that the dictators will let go of their control and listen to the people they are leading.



I have the thought that this spontaneous happening is no coincidence. This year we are preparing for the shift in 2012. It is not the end of the world. It has been predicted that it will be the end of corruption and greed. It will be a time of new beginnings--of treating all people with respect, dignity and fairness.

The Courage to Follow Your Intuition

Do you listen to your intuition? Do you trust it, even if it is not logical?
I do. For example, I was looking for a place to move and my intuition told me that I did not have to worry about giving a 30 day notice--not at all logical!:)
Well, I did find a new home, and I also connected with a great tenant on Craigs list to move right in. The landlord, new tenant, and I were all happy, because we created what we wanted.
This is just one example of the many times I courageously trusted my illogical intuition. It always seemed to work out perfectly.
The logical mind is quick to discount our intuiton, especially if it does not make sense. When we override the limited mind, and listen to our intuition, we can enjoy many fun, great happenings.

Love is the answer!

In February, we have Valentine's Day to remind us to express love. This would be a better world if we expressed our love on a daily basis with others and ourselves. Try this, express caring, which is a form of love, to someone you have a problem with. They are likley to surprise you with their reponse. I always say, "Love is the Universal Antidote for the poison of fear."
Fear can be seen as a poison, as it often causes people to hurt or kill others and/or themselves. It can also contaminate our society. Fear is behind anger, greed, violence, addictions, bullying, aggression and everything that does not feel loving. Loving people would never destroy our beautiful gift of nature. They would not hurt others, including animals. They would not litter our land or contaminate our waters. Love is the answer! Teach people how to love others and themselves and we will transform our world!

Positive Law of Attraction

I imagine that you have heard about the "Law of Attraction." It means that your words, beliefs, thoughts, and what you imagine are all magnetic. Therefore, being positive can create positive results.
Of course, the opposite is also true. When I am not creating what I want, I ask myself, "What am I thinking, etc." Once I am aware of the negative influence, I can change it to a positive one. The HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation) process I developed helps you do just that.
It helps me feel empowered no matter what is going on in the outside world. I learned a long time that if I want to succeed I need to first shift myself internally. Then I magentically attract what I desire, and I take the actions necessary to enjoy the success. So can you!
Have a Happy, Empowering , Successful New Year!

Enjoy a Spiritual Thanksgiving

To me, all the holidays have a spiritual aspect. Of course, this one is about sharing your gratitude. To me, everyday is a thanksgiving day. Everyday there are things, events, and people to be grateful for, including yourself.
I often say, "An attitude of gratitude is a high altitude." What I mean by this is that it takes you to a higher level of counsciousness. There is basically only fear and love consciousness. Gratitude, being thankful and appreciating are all examples of love consciousness. It feels so good and attracts more positive things and people into our lives.
Everyone needs appreciation at all ages. Express your gratitude and watch a smile cross the person's face. You are likley to respond with a similar happy expression.
Thanksgiving also reminds us to give to others, family, friends and strangers. Since everyday is thanksgiving, it serves everyone to look for ways to give to others unconditionally. It feels so good and it makes a difference in other peoples' lives and ours.
Happy Thanksgiving!

"Economy Stimulus Program" to Enhance Your Spirituality

The "economy stimulus program" I am referring to is not regularly publicized. In fact, many people do not know what it is. It is merely how I see a major opportunity to turn inward and base our happiness on trust and faith, as well as doing what we love, being grateful for what we have and for the opportunities to serve others.
Ironically, the tough economy has offered many people more time to enjoy their life and make major changes. The illusion that things are our security, or what we need to be happy, is crumbling. Whether you have a lot or not, the key to inner peace is loving yourself, staying positive, and keeping your life simple, so that you can enjoy everyday, no matter what happens out there in the world.
An attitude of gratitude gives us lots of joy and an openness to receive and give even more. Making a difference in other people's lives makes a difference in our lives. We all have gifts to share and a life purpose. These make life meaningful and much more fulfilling than any things we may have.
When we enhance our spirituality, we live from more love, trust and faith.
We feel more peacefully powerful. We are in the divine flow. We are happier and healthier.

Information Vs Transformation

Information is great, but is it always enough? In my counseling sessions, workshops and books, I offer important insights and solutions. However, then I also offer guided visualization exercises to help people transform. The results have been phenomenol.

For example, Mary new that she was angry at her parents. However, only after I helped her heal her issues with them, with my HART (Holistic And Rapid Transformation) process, did she release the anger and feel great.
She was also able to forgive her parents and improve their relationship. Mary experienced a transformation.

In summary, information is important but often it takes more than that to change--to experience a transformation.

No More Excuses! Go for it!

I love that President Obama is publically saying, "No more excuses!" There is proof, by the many people who have overcome extremely difficult times, that we all can succeed. It is a matter of constantly asking yourself, "What can I do to improve my environment and myself?" It is a daily committment to choose to act from love rather than fear. It is a willingness to accept responsibility for yourself and what you have created.

Do what you need to do to grow and raise your self-esteem. Be kind and loving to everyone, including your loved ones. Teach childen how to be kind and loving by your words and actions. Avoid repeating the painful, negative patterns that you may have experienced as a child. Break the pattern! Spend quality time with them. Tell them you love them. Support them to be themselves and not who you want them to be, or could not be. Love and honor them and yourself, and make a diffference. Take control of your life and move forward towards your goals. No more excuses! Go for it!

The Personal Message of Independence Day

Many people will be celebrating this wonderful national holiday. I also see it as a personal celebration to acknolwledge our freedom to live from love instead of fear. That includes being true to ourselves and others, and following our heartfelt desires.
If we do not feel this way, then we can use this holiday to remind us to set our goals to release our fears, so that we can be who we are and reach our personal and professional goals. We do deserve to be independent, successful, happy and healthy.

Faith and Trust

During these difficult financial times, our faith and trust can be very helpful. Many people are hopefully realizing that their security is not out there but inside of them.
In the past, one of the benefits of being a teacher and government employee was job security. Obviously, that is not the present reality. Many people felt comfortable matching their expenses to their income without having much of a cushion. Even more men and women lived beyond their income with the use of credit cards.
No doubt that these times are financially tough, but hopefully we can also benefit by learning from the experience. It is important to have a budget and save money first before the rest is spent. Some financial experts call it, "Pay Yourself First!" It is also helpful to control our buying so that it does not control us.
Finally, let's make the best of the situation and keep the faith and trust that the economy is recovering now. Let's help others in any way that we can. That helps them have trust and faith, too. Our thoughts are very powerful. Together we can emerge even better economically and as more caring and trusting people.

Our Problems are Universal

I have been traveling and moving often in the last four years. I have lived in Australia for nine months and visited New Zealand twice. I also spent a total of 10 months in Hawaii, dividing my time between the four major islands. My journey took me to Sante Fe, New Mexico, Ashland, Oregon, Southern and Northern California, Florida, and Puerto Rico. They are all beautiful places that I have been grateful to enjoy.

In the past, I have lived in Brooklyn, New York, The Foothills of the Sierra Mountains, and Sedona, Arizona. Being an extrovert, I love to interact with people. As a Marriage, Family Therapist for nearly 30 years, I have counseled many people internationally.

One of my observations is that wherever we live, whoever we are, whatever we do, we all have the same basic issues to resolve. We all improve our lives, when we grow to the point that we can avoid attaching what others do or say to our self-esteem, which includes our self-worth. We are okay no matter what others do or say! This concept helps everyone resolve many problems as well as prevent emotional pain. It feels so good when we remember this truth. What people say or do is about them and not us. We are okay!
