The Law of Distraction

If people in my home state of Maine weren’t paying attention last year, they might have thought we went from fall to spring by skipping right over winter. Call it global warming or just plain luck (I loathe winter), but I only used my snowblower once the entire winter season. Yippee! So I hoped this winter would be much of the same.

Looking at my ten-year-old snowblower this past December, I noticed it was looking sad and rusty. I wasn’t sure it was going to start this year, as I had to pull the starter pulley dozens of times last winter before I could get it to work. Nevertheless, this year, I kept procrastinating bringing it in for a tune up until it was too late—the weather person predicted a nor’easter.

Forgiveness: 8 Check Points On This Journey To Freedom 
by Trish Whynot, D.C.Ed. 

Forgiveness is a journey toward freedom from our past. It can be transformational, complex, is not to be taken lightly and cannot be commanded. If you are patient and open to the unfolding of forgiveness, your desire to forgive will be fulfilled.

There may be plateaus along the way where many of us are lulled into thinking the journey is complete, but you will know you have reached your destination when only love and gratitude remain in your heart for the person you have forgiven. When a hurtful past relationship has been transformed into an opportunity for personal growth and healing for which you are grateful—with or without an apology—then you know you are free.

Responding to the Bullycides: How We Can Stand Up & Honor Their Memories 
by Rachel Simmons 

It’s been said that once you have a child, you look at the suffering of other families in a different way. You know what it means to love someone with your entire being, in a way that you never could have imagined before bringing your child into your life. In a way, every child becomes your child.

The suicides this week of two young men, Asher Brown and Tyler Clementi, are devastating, and they are sounding an alarm to all of us about the crisis state of bullying in this country. These tragic events are also a call to parents everywhere to stand up and speak out on behalf of tolerance, respect and dignity for children everywhere.

Sound Healing: A Therapeutic Tool for the Future! 
by Zacciah Blackburn

Sound Healing is the new buzz word in complementary therapy.  Sound healing therapies are being incorporated into traditional and non-traditional healing practices, more and more, from one’s own meditation room, to practitioners utilizing traditional massage, reiki, acupuncture, shamanism, nutrition, psychology, and standard medical practices.  One heart surgeon recently was reported to say, “Any surgeon not using music (therapy) in the operating room is simply being negligent,” because he has found it so significantly effective in his patients recovery.  Some say ‘sound healing is the new yoga’, meaning that it will soon be practiced everywhere.  What is it?  Have you heard of sound healing yet?  If not, you soon will. 

Sound healing can be defined as the intentional use of sound or music to bring about enhanced states of wellness in our physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual being.  Therapists and clinicians are using it, because sound healing works.  Sound methods vary from the simple use of music for relaxation or invigoration, to tuning forks, technological devices, drumming, crystal bowls, chanting, and ‘toning.’
