July 2018 
 
As our national focus is on freedom this month, make an honest inventory of what might be encroaching on your individual independence. It could be a relationship that robs you of your power or dignity; an addiction to diet drinks or candy, social media or gaming; blind allegiance to a point of view; anxiety or fear; victimhood; the past. Realize that you are far from helpless in breaking any bonds that are holding you back. It is always your choice to remain as you are ... or find your freedom.

The Freedom of Relaxation 

In January, I shared a recording intended to help you get a good night's sleep. This month, do try this 13-minute full-body, seated relaxation intended to be a quick break in your day. As with any of my recordings, NEVER LISTEN WHILE DRIVING.
 
 
If you're curious to explore who you are without that fear of
  • heights
  • closed-in spaces
  • flying
  • public speaking
  • taking tests
  • driving on freeways
  • being judged
  • being hurt
  • speaking your truth
  • failing
  • succeeding
or any number of restrictions on your freedom, I'd love to help you know and celebrate true independence.
 
As I was preparing this month's newsletter, details of the Sacred Spiral Tour of Armenia 2019 were being finalized with Feel Armenia Travel. The trip just keeps getting better and better! Look for a full description of itinerary and pricing in the August issue.

Until next month, remember:  All is moving toward the good.
 
With heart hugs,

A Brand New Offering at A Higher Perspective
"The Someone to Watch Over Me" Inner Child Journey  

Artwork by Mary Derrick
Along with a whole new look, my website has a brand new offering to help you navigate these tumultuous times: Inner Child Journey.
  
 
The notion of introducing your Inner Child to your Heavenly Guides & Angels is related to my book, Someone to Watch Over Me and is at the heart of a unique two-hour session.
 
The Someone to Watch Over Me Inner Child Journey begins with instruction on the Heavenly Guide or Angel associated with the first letter of your first name and then moves into a hypnotherapy Journey that facilitates a meeting in Sacred Space between that Heavenly Guide or Angel and your Inner Child. I promise you've never experienced anything else like it.

School Tune-Ups for Children & Teens   

I love working with children and teens and they love the safe, simple, practical self-help techniques they learn from our sessions.
   
Does your child grapple with any of these? 
  • Chronic worry
  • Sleep problems
  • Test anxiety
  • Sports and other performance-related issues
  • Poor or low self-esteem
  • Poor focus and concentration abilities
  • Habit control
  • Bullying
  • Anger management
Most children feel the good shifts happening from the very first appointment. Hypnotherapy, TAT and EFT can make all the difference between stressed-out and successful.  
 
A reminder for adults: my areas of specialty are easing general and specific fears and supporting fertility.

The Sacred Science of Energy Healing 
Unleash Your Innate Superpowe r
I'm very excited to share a new program called The Sacred Science of Energy Healing. I helped to create it with the team at The Sacred Science, who were a lot of fun to work with. You may know The Sacred Science team from their award-winning documentary about indigenous healing plants and shamanism in the Amazonian jungle.
 
I spent a day with The Sacred Science team leaders Nick Polizzi and Mileen Patel sharing information on three techniques I'm passionate about:
  • A TAT shortcut very suitable for children
  • A Sacred Light meditation
  • An introduction to The Vimala Alphabet and the tradition of writing as a spiritual path
My contributions and those of other energy healing experts were combined to create The Sacred Science of Energy Healing, a simple, resource-rich video library of usable techniques and information.
 
If you're curious, you can start here with these three preview lessons from three of the participants for free: 
 
#1: Simple exercises for releasing negative energy and emotions in your body

#2: The Golden Waterfall - A Guided Meditation to welcome in energy and then clear any blockages, followed by a Reiki Exercise for grounding and protection

#3: The Energy Tourniquet - 4 Movements for Life Force Flow 
 
For more information on The Sacred Science of Energy Healing, including how to order your own copy of the library,

A Portal of Grace  

The Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) has been "a portal of grace." It's the newest technique in my celebrated mind-body-spirit toolbox and there's nothing else like it in the cutting-edge world of meridian therapies. If you enjoy the tranquility of meditation, then TAT may just be the mind-body-spirit avenue of healing for you. Even the creator of TAT, licensed acupuncturist Tapas Fleming , doesn't know exactly how TAT works - it just does.

Tap It Away! 

I have been using The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) with adults, teens and children since 1997. A recent study confirms that there's nothing better than EFT for the stress carried by returning veterans. If you are interested in a copy of the study, please email me. My website has a lot more information about EFT, including client comments. EFT can be done in person, via Skype or by phone with outstanding results.
A Higher Perspective Anywhere! 

Skype sessions are now available for handwriting coaching, The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and the Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT).   I'm excited about bringing these extraordinary mind-body-spirit tools to a new, world-wide audience. Since I will be conducting all the Skype sessions in my San Ramon office, those clients will benefit from the high vibration so many of you have enjoyed there over the years. 
Trauma Relief 

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, Boston TAT professional Patricia Thatcher put out a call to the TAT Professionals community worldwide for volunteers to join a Trauma Response Team . Along with many of my colleagues, I answered Pat's call.

 

Please keep me in mind as a resource in case of future need. I am available for three free TAT sessions via phone or Skype (preferred) in the aftermath of any natural or man-made disaster.

Success at Your Fingertips 

Believe it or not, writing in cursive is an important mind-body-spirit connection. Although handwriting originates in the part of the brain that's most capable of change, I've always thought of The Vimala System of Handwriting as success at your fingertips. Using The Vimala Alphabet in a daily handwriting practice offers incredible benefits to your mind, your body and your spirit. Check out Vimala Rodgers' wonderful alphabet for the 21st Century on my website; then call me to arrange a series of handwriting coaching sessions in person, via Skype or by phone.
