Greetings Friends

I have some thoughts and suggestions about getting your decade off to a great start! I notice that as we become proficient in bodywork, we come to expect certain results based on our past successes.

This can be satisfying but it can also become a sabotage. Because Body Harmony brings something more to the table. Every session can, and should, at least touch upon some unfamiliar wonderments, and help create new standards of reference.

It’s important to see your clientele as they are.. but when you also see them as they can be, you make an excursion into some unexplored abilities. You add even more value to the process when you see yourself as you are….and as you can be.

Keep in mind that the sum total of human 
knowledge these days, doubles in months, (some say weeks) rather than 
years. Your ability to apply this knowledge is the key to your personal prosperity.

Intention works! But how well do you trust your Intention Quotient?

Do you suspect that some old familiar thought patterns might limit you? (more…)

Dear Friend and Colleague: The following may be of benefit during those times you are explaining what it is that you do. The following Question will probably come up…. Dr Don McFarland…..

The Book “The Brain That Changes Itself” by Norman Doidge has a great analogy (which I have paraphrased) for what I call the Healing loop.
At the start of the day, a group of mates decide to go out 4 Wheel driving. The track is sandy or muddy. The first driver picks a way through the mud. The others follow, and before long, the track is entrenched.  Any drivers following barely steer, the track takes them a particular way.

This track is like what happens in the brain when a behavior or pattern is reinforced. It creates a strong pathway in the brain, which becomes the main mode of experience if the pathway is triggered. Doidge advocates retraining your brain by brain exercises, to reignite new pathways or possibilities. (more…)
