Spring Cleaning With Feng Shui: Remove It and Move On NEW!
by Susan Tartaglino

Nature is beautiful in its imperfections and seems to express itself most fervently with the arrival of Spring. 

Life wakes up from the deep sleep of winter and everything comes alive. People just can’t wait to shed layers of clothing and feel the warmth of the sun on their skin. Nature responds the same way. The crocus and daffodil plants push their way thru the earth as they sprout new stalks and reach for the sun. Shrubs and trees start to form buds and are turning green. 

The Chinese system of living in harmony with the natural elements and forces of earth is referred to as feng shui. This ancient philosophy demonstrates that the world is defined by the following five elements of nature: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

Thai Yoga Bodywork NEW!
by Sonia Osorio


Lotus Palm: The Mindfulness of Touch

One of the ancient healing arts of traditional Thai medicine (along with herbal medicine and spiritual meditation), Thai massage is a full-body massage, performed on a floor mat, with both parties in loose, comfortable clothes. It incorporates t'ai chi moves, rhythmic motion, palming and thumbing along sen lines (energy lines), gentle stretching and the conscious use of breath. The practitioner uses her hands, feet, arms and legs to guide the recipient through various yoga postures, while remaining focused on their own body-center. This combination of movements and focused awareness creates a slow, flowing "dance" around the recipient's body.

"Thai massage is a well-respected and proven healing art that's quickly gaining popularity in the West because of its meditative approach and its application of yoga's well-established benefits," said Kam Thye Chow, founder of Lotus Palm, one of the first North American schools of Thai massage, located in Montreal, Canada.

Our Seven Spiritual Gene Sets
by Meredith L. Young-Sowers

Just as physical DNA can be turned on and off by attitudes, beliefs, nutrition, and environment, the same is true of our spiritual DNA—it too can be turned on and off. Our spiritual DNA is activated when we are living in accordance with our true Self—such as when we are attentive to our choices; when we strive to find ways of compromising, seeking solutions to problems that used to send us over the moon; and when we hold back anger and rage until it calms—and we calm—and find a wiser way to proceed.

Shielding and Protection: The Barrier To Something We Don't Want To Experience
by Christopher Cormier

I'm going to be honest with you. I have issues with this particular topic. Far too often the concepts of shielding and protection are filled with misunderstandings and a lot of drama. Rather than create a sense of security and comfort within Self, despite the appearance of safety, it tends to reinforce a belief that one is powerless. This in turn reinforces the fear that shapes our experience.

The Benefits of Energy Healing
by Wendy De Rosa

Today, in our advanced, modern society, people take time to perform some kind of daily physical cleansing ritual. A shower or bath, teeth brushing, shaving and hair styling are all standard forms of grooming that we make time to fit into our busy lifestyles. After all, it’s good hygiene, right?  Our outward appearance is something most of us take pride in, but what about what’s going on beneath the layers of the skin?

The Magic of Appreciation
by Lynn Grabhorn

There are only three states of being we run around in all day long. If we could be even a little more aware of which one we're wearing during each moment of the day, we'd have a big leg up to changing our vibrations. 

Victim Mode

This is the oh-dear-they're-doing-it-to-me-again-and-there's-nothing-
I-can-do-about-it frame of mind where we go nowhere but around in negative circles, forever magnetizing the same old same old.

"Let There Be Light" -  Is Matter Only An Illusion?

Is matter only an illusion? Do we exist as waves of energy on a vast sea of light - a hologram created by pure consciousness? Quantum theory threatens to unite science and spirituality as it pulls apart the very building blocks from which our world appears to be made. How might quantum theory explain the creation of the universe? Here is a perspective to stimulate your own thinking.

The Spiritual Psychology of the Chakras: The Window to the Soul 
by Grace Ross RN MSc

Chakras, auras, subtle bodies and energy healing have become common topics of discussion. What once was considered esoteric or fringe spirituality has become increasingly mainstream. In line with this more people are developing a new awareness of their own body energy – some from a desire for inner growth, others from a scientific (quantum physics) perspective and still others from a renewed sense of the sacred.

Energy Kinesiology: Treating The Body Through Muscular Biofeedback
by Ann McFerron

Did you know that your body is an energy system? You actually have measurable current running through your body all the time. Energy medicine, a part of the holistic health care system, works to release any blockages in your body’s energy system. This balances the system, and allows the body to function the way it was designed to.

The Body's Energy Centers
by Dick Derrick

Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient India and China, have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body, representing the flow of life energy and, in some sense, conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person’s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as “whirlpools referred,” and in Indian, they are considered ”energy bursts” or “wheels.”

Achieving Human Balance By Aligning Yourself With Gravity
by David Wronski

Finding one’s balance in the world is part and parcel to living well. There is a universal factor for living a well ordered life that is mostly overlooked—the structural balance of the body. Once seen it is forever obvious. Specifically, how well the body stacks up in gravity has a profound, yet underappreciated effect on one’s experience of living, health, and well being. The balance of your body, its verticality and symmetry, determines whether gravity is friend or foe. To ignore this or leave it to chance is to place yourself in default for putting up with chronic pain and stress and living below your potential.

Feng Shui - Water and the Cycle of Life
by Rita R. Powers

The spiritual connection to the physical world is about harnessing the positive energy that surrounds us through the ancient Chinese art of placement, arrangement and connectivity known as Feng shui (pronounced "fung schwee"). Feng shui literally means "wind and water" in Chinese. The connective flux or the constant state of change between all five elements-fire, earth, water, wood, and metal-urges us to be in balance and in harmony with nature. There is no greater pathway of least resistance to this invisible energy that is constantly circulating, or ch’i (pronounced chee) than through flowing water. To begin by incorporating water into your environment in a harmonious way, it can bring balance into your life.

Balancing Your Yin And Yang Energies With Color
by Mike Z. Wang

Have you ever wondered what feelings you have when you look at a bright red rose in the garden? Can you imagine a garden that does not have colorful flowers, but only green foliage? Early in the morning, when you see a newly opened flower in your garden, your heart is filled with joy and happiness. Each flower in the garden has a different color and hue that affects you differently. While the white lily touches your soul for its serenity, the red rose with its vibrant energy elicits a feeling of love and passion. The feeling is different because the flower is reflecting a different color and Feng Shui uses this natural magic of colors to transform your life.

Top Ten Benefits of Play
by Marianne St. Clair

Play is extremely important for humans from birth to death. Play is not meant to be just for children. It is a form of release and connection that can tap the creativity and can allow you the chance to connect with your inner child and the inner child of others. Play is a state of mind, but it is also a state of body, emotion, and spirit. Yes, it is something you do (playing games, swinging, playing "tag", playing with dolls), but it is also something you watch others do, and gain pleasure from simply watching. It is often described as a time when we feel most alive, yet it is something we take for granted and may forget to do. It can be entirely positive, or can be dramatic (such as acting out a thrilling or suspenseful activity). Play can be used in many ways to not only stimulate creativity but as a way to transform negative emotions. We are hardwired as adults to engage in play, and it is crucial to our vitality to spend time with play each day.

Alleviating Anxiety with Zensight Process 
by Carol Ann Rowland

Rachel looks in the mirror and notices a mark on her cheek. Immediately her breath becomes shallow, her heart races, her chest tightens, and she feels nauseated. She checks the spot more closely, and sees that it’s just a speck of dirt. She washes it off and tells herself firmly that she is fine – it wasn’t the beginning of skin cancer, it was nothing. It’s gone. She is okay.

Why Humans Make Lousy Lovers 
by Jean-Claude Koven

How can I, love, and you, three of the most misunderstood words in human language, be linked together to form our most sublime sentence? Like a Linus blanket we refuse to relinquish, this seemingly simple phrase comforts us from cradle to grave. Since long before grunts gave way to words, its message has been expressed by mothers to infants, children to their best friends, people to their pets, lovers to each other, and, most notably, by those facing death to their God.

Water As A Spiritual Element
by Annie B. Bond

Water is the central source of our beings. It is part of every cell and fiber in us; it is our very essence. Could water be the common denominator that weaves us all (earth, animal, human, and plant) together as one? Is it the ultimate connector? It's awesome and humbling that water carries so many entrained messages, especially when we consider that there has been the same water, and the same amount of water, on the earth for millions of years. What messages are we receiving from our ancestors when we drink? And it is overwhelming to think that in the past 60 years alone, the human hand has imprinted so much pollution on the water, bringing it out of healthy balance. It is our spiritual obligation to be water's caretaker and cause it no further harm.

Do You Have Psychic Protection?
by Jenny Smedley

Anyone who opens their centers to energies that they have little knowledge of or control over could leave themselves exposed to dark influences. Possession by a malevolent entity is the most obvious form of psychic attack, but there are more subtle ones. Have you ever picked up your telephone and got a horrible sinking feeling for no real reason when you discover that a certain person is calling? After the call do you feel drained and emotionally exhausted? When you bump into a certain person, do they always stand too close to you, invading your aura, and leaving you feeling almost violated? Have you ever found yourself acting totally out of character in a negative way or suffering sudden loss of memory, or feeling constantly tired despite rest? Do you have recurrent nightmares or visions, or a scary feeling that someone is watching you? Is there a room in your house that used to be a haven and yet suddenly feels hostile to you? If you have experienced any of these uncomfortable situations, then you may well be experiencing a ‘psychic attack'.

The medicine bag is known in all cultures and through out all of history. They contain objects such as leaves, feathers, stones, herbs such as sweetgrass, sage, cedar, lavender or pinion, and other objects which have been added by the wearer and considered spiritually significant.

Taoism and Sexuality
by Rachel Carlton Abrams, M.D.

Taoism is a spiritual tradition that embraces our sexual desire and uses it within our bodies as a force for healing and spiritual growth. Desire is a rich and potent part of our human experience. The Taoists think of desire, called sexual energy or jing chi, as part of our life energy, or chi. To be passionate is to be full of chi. The English words "desire" or "passion" connote a feeling of yearning and fervor that includes sex, but they also reflect our strongest feelings about life. When we are passionate about anything--our family, our work, our spirituality, an important social cause--we are investing our chi in this experience. Our passion is what moves us to action and ultimately is what gives us joy. We are passionate about the things that matter most to us.

The Body-Temple, A Song of Glory: Speaking And Listening To Our Bodies For Greater Peace, Health And Harmony!
by Judith Pennington

One of the most fascinating stories I've ever heard came from a psychic development teacher who had worked with a man waiting in a hospital to have both feet amputated. The psychic, speaking with the man by phone, wasn't told about this, but intuitively heard his feet complain that he never let them rest. She told the man what his feet said, and the man, knowing this to be true, quickly promised to change his ways. His exhausted, but now hopeful feet began to heal immediately and within days healed entirely.

Out of Control Yang: The Root of Cancer, Chaos and "Dis Ease" 
by Dr. Darryl Pokea

The Book of Changes, written in China during the 3rd Century B.C., observed the cycles within nature expressed as Yin and Yang, dynamic complements of one another. Chinese Medicine, as a science, observes and supports the flow of Yin and Yang within the body. Yin energy, akin to the moon and Mother Earth, reflects the feminine and aspects of nature that are cool dark, quiet and solid. Yang energy, akin to the Sun, mirrors the masculine facets of nature that are boisterous, bright, and expansive. Yin and Yang's harmonious continuum of balance allows healthy Chi (life energy) to flow in the body and within all life. Chi keeps the body in the fullness of health through its balanced flow in the meridians of the body. Within Chinese Medicine the removal of barriers in the healthy flow of Chi turns the body from disease back to health.

The Millennium of the Medical Intuitive
by Charles Lightwalker

As we move into the new millennium, the face of health and healing are taking on a whole new look. With it, a new paradigm in the assessment of health is making its way to the forefront, its tool: Medical Intuition. As the name states, Medical Intuition is a science, where the practitioner, using a highly developed sense of intuition, "looks" into the body, evaluating it on energetic levels. According to Medical Intuitives, we, as humans, are more than just a physical body. Instead, we are made up of a vast array of interconnecting energies and energetic fields, with physical diseases appearing as an external manifestation of disturbances to these energetic fields. A Medical Intuitive's job is to detect these disturbances.

Using Colors And Stones With Meditation
by Keith Zang

Meditation is a very powerful tool to use for reducing and releasing the stress of the day as well as for healing and bringing enlightenment into your being. There are many methods for meditation. Some tap into mindfulness to bring the present moment into focus. Others utilize the breath to create a sense of timelessness by focusing on a single sensation or point and letting all other distractions go. This article will be focused on another type of meditation, that of the energetic healing form where the energies of the body and surrounding life force energies are focused for dynamic and accelerated healing.

Recognizing the Voice of Healing in the Twenty First Century
by Dr. Darryl Pokea

We need to wake up. For this author the most important element to understand energy transformation in healing is to realize the powerful effects our words and thoughts have on one another. Each one of us can have more of a negative impact than we want to be aware of.  This causes damage. Equally important, we each have the potential to have profound positive effects on one another. This causes healing.

The Effectiveness Of Distance Reiki
b
y Keith Zang 

Reiki is a form of energetic hands-on healing that originated in Japan. Most people know and understand Reiki as an “in-person” form of treatment, treating everything from stress to helping to speed healing after surgery. It is increasingly being utilized in hospitals throughout the world and Reiki volunteer programs are becoming recognized as viable accompaniment programs with traditional western therapies. But what many people don’t realize or have much faith in is the ability of Reiki practitioners to send Reiki energy to anyone, anywhere in the world and get great results doing so.

What Is Energy Healing?

What is Energy Healing? Ask ten different people and you could get ten different answers. Energy Healing can include several different—however related—holistic approaches including: Reiki, Polarity, Therapeutic Touch, Qi Gong, or even Biofeedback Therapy, to name just a few.

We have included a category page for Energy Healing exactly for this reason—to satisfy the varied interests of different people. Some holistic approaches to health and well-being simply do not fit under any particular category, but they fall under the broad category of energy healing nicely. Others, while they may already have their own category page, can also file under this category in order to flag the attention of those of us who are unfamiliar with it, and therefore would not otherwise have learned about it.

Since most holistic interests from acupuncture to psychic intuition to therapeutic touch all relate to energy in their own way, we hope you'll enjoy this smorgasbord of articles and links for your education and empowerment.

Students Discover Unexpected Reward At The Acupressure Therapy Institute
by Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor

Upon attending an open house at Barbara Blanchard’s Acupressure Therapy Institute (ATI), I discovered an unexpected benefit to learning about energy. I went to the lecture and demonstration anticipating a rather predictable discussion on the benefits of acupressure shiatsu. What I learned, however, came as a surprise. I discovered how students of acupressure shiatsu gained much more than an education toward a new fulfilling career; they also gained an education about something that would forever improve their personal lives, as well.

Light Is Life: Using Light & Color to Heal the Body, Mind, and Spirit
by Manohar Croke, C.C.P.

The idea that our repressed or unlived emotions and our disconnection from our deeper life purpose could actually affect our physical health may be new to some people. Perhaps newer is the idea that colored light applied to the body can be a powerful key to unlock the mysterious interactive connection between body mind and spirit. We've often read in spiritual or religious writings about light as a metaphor for the highest potential in human development (enlightenment] or a symbolic destination in all our lives (toward the light).

Sound, Music, & Medicine
by Julianna Souza, RN, HNC, HTP.

Recently I have been delighted to observe an increased emphasis on music and sound as a medium for healing. Perhaps because music has been an integral part of my life I am more keenly aware of this phenomena. On occasions when I have felt my soul inspired by a particularly beautiful piece of music, I have realized that I would literally wither if music were not a part of my daily life. For me, music assumes many forms and I am as deeply touched by the musical sounds of nature as I am by a beautiful concerto.
