Good Therapy to Empower our Lives
Posted by msterilinn on Feb 21, 2008
What is it that brings about an inner peace to bring harmony into our lives? Many people have had negative experiences which can be detrimental to our happiness as well as our health and well being. There are always those who try to influence us, through either words or actions, as to how they think we should feel or behave. Such experiences can leave emotional and spiritual scars. Finding true, lasting, good therapy can sometimes prove to be quite difficult. Not everyone is truly out for our best interests, so much as their own.
Let us look into this a bit further.
Empowering therapists maintain the belief that people can grow, heal, and transform. This hope is held no matter how intense one’s defenses and wounds are. People can heal if they want to and if they can contribute to their own growth whatever is sufficient and necessary to that end. When a therapist views a person as fundamentally flawed or incapable of change, the person is more likely to feel and become flawed. Yet, when a good therapist sees beyond a person’s wounds and defenses and holds in mind their true nature, the person is more likely to discover their own true nature for themselves. Some people may not heal in this lifetime, but let the therapist not be an additional barrier to whatever other obstacles may be presenting.
Good therapy often times needs to go deep. There seems to be a split in the mental health field between approaches that emphasize cognitive solutions and those that emphasize emotional or body oriented healing. Both are important. In many instances, the depth of our emotional traumas are buried deep within ourselves. Reaching these extreme emotional depths of hidden pain is a very delicate process, and must be approached very carefully.
If you, or someone you know, is in need of good therapy to Empower your Life, and wish to find a counselor or therapist, perhaps you may like to visit www.goodtherapy.org, and browse through their extensive selection of therapists. As always, use your good judgement and choose wisely.
As quoted from Good Therapy…
Our Purpose…
“There is a movement toward more collaborative, empowering, and nonpathological forms of psychotherapy. We promote this movement by helping people find therapists and counselors who believe “people are proficient,” capable of feeling peaceful and satisfied with life, and can, with a bit of guidance, access their own wisdom and healing potential to overcome the obstacles to health & happiness.”
~Love and Light to All
“Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible. The latter procedure is more difficult and therefore, unpopular.” ~ Carl Jung
Pampering our bodies with Nature in mind
Posted by msterilinn on Feb 7, 2008
I have had a bit of a rough time in the past year. Although I am much healthier now, this was not so last Winter and Spring. I have always maintained excellent health, spiritually and physically. Yet we all fall prey to the beast called ’stress’ at some time or other. This particular ‘beast’ caught up with me, and I seemed to get sick all the time, and was quite slow to heal. Once I realized the cause of my distress, I took a good look at my Life and noticed I had gotten too busy to truly take good care of myself. My daughter and I decided I needed to be especially aware of pampering myself on a daily basis. So each day I must set aside some time to do something special to enhance my wellbeing, and teach my daughter to do so as well, so it would just become a natural part of our day.
As I am into all things natural, I began by sorting though my natural skincare products. I have quite the collection, and was pleased with my options. My daughter suggested a nice foot massage, and I found this totally delicious and healthy sounding B. Kamins Maple Sugar Body Scrub by Skin Dimensions Online. Skin Dimensions Online offers the exclusive Skin Dimensions SB product line. Their exclusive line includes moisturizers, green tea anti-oxidants, acne care and anti-aging products, and the increasingly polular and best-selling retinols, including the new 1 % starter introductory line. I will definately be adding Skin Dimensions Online to my natural beauty selection of resources.
Well then, allowing the Goddess within to hold sway over the moments of each day, I will be on the lookout for many ways in which to pamper myself and my daughter as well. We shall enjoy browsing through the natural skincare essentials to pamper ourselves and enjoy the pleasure of just being and living in each wonderful, loving and natural moment.
A healthy Balance of Mind, Body and Spirit

While this subject is not a pleasant one to contemplate and talk about, it is not something I would see ignored or shuffled off to the side. What I am referring to is an issue which has, in many places of society, reached epidemic proportions. Drug and alcohol addictions affect all of us in one way or another. The physical and emotional impact of those who are addicted can be quite devastating, to themselves and to their families and loved ones. This hits very close to home with most of us, myself included. While I have been spared an addictive nature, some very close family members have not. This has served to create much heartache throughout the years. I would like to expand a bit upon the subject of drug addiction.
Research shows that more than half of the people affected by one condition (such as an addictive disorder) are also affected by at least one other condition (such as an emotional condition or mental illness), and vice versa. This diagnosis is referred to by a variety of terms including: co-occurring disorder, dual diagnosis, co-morbidity, concurrent disorders, co-morbid disorders, and dual disorder. Individuals with co-occurring disorders often face a wide range of psychosocial issues and may experience more than two interacting illnesses. When all conditions are not simultaneously treated, recovery is far more difficult. Unfortunately, because many addiction treatment and mental health programs treat only one condition, many people are under-treated or inappropriately treated. A single course of treatment is less likely to be effective than a comprehensive plan of treatment that simultaneously treats all conditions, addictions, and disorders.

The treatment program at The Canyon is nationally recognized for integrative methods and evidence based practices that have produced proven results for individuals with dual and multiple addiction and mental health disorders. While many programs claim to be or dual-diagnosis, they are one of very few facilities that are truly prepared to deal effectively with co-occurring disorders.
It is good to be aware of our options when choosing a drug rehab center. Emotionally and spiritually, those who enroll in addiction treatment with an open heart and mind will be more successful in rebuilding their self esteem, personal relationships and establishing a spiritual connection. The Canyon is the premiere sanctuary of healing for individuals with co-occurring conditions. This elite center offers a complete continuum of care that includes many treatment options, services, and learning tools that allow each client to build a lasting foundation of recovery.
My prayers go out to all those who are affected by these devastating dis-eases of our physical and mental states. May each one of those precious spirits find the help to restore their health and wellbeing, and find their paths to lasting happiness, as well as a healthy balance of Mind, Body and Spirit. Give yourselves the Gift of Healing.
Healing the Heart of Humanity - Energy Healing
Posted by msterilinn on Jan 13, 2008
When it comes to the Spritual realm, I am an avid student. I am quite fascinated with the connection between our bodies and our spirits. I strongly believe we can heal and strengthen our own bodies, with our own spiritual energy, and therefore wish to learn as much as I possibly may on this important subject of spiritual healing.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing teaches how to focus conscious awareness on the lessons of the soul. Conscious awareness provides a direct experience into the energetic disharmonies that manifest disease.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing results from connecting with the higher realms of our soul. Our human body and energy system is the vehicle for the soul’s learning. Disease is a clear sign that the soul’s lesson has not been received and the circle of health (joy) is incomplete.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing brings us to the core of disease. It teaches us to use our own awareness to access the body’s wisdom find and heal the places within that are waiting to be restored to wholeness.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing awakens the heart chakra, and through awareness teaches us to believe in ourselves, to trust our deep truth and be willing to express our truth with compassion.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing is easy to learn because it is so natural. It is an integral part of our human nature and it can be used both for healing oneself and others.
The cellular structures of our anatomy are intelligent, aware, and responsive. They interconnect the chakra systems (centers of consciousness) and allow energy to circulate. Through the chakra system, stagnant energies are released as fresh, clear energies replace the old. Disease occurs when consciousness is unable to purify itself through the release of these lower frequencies. Energy becomes stagnant and then spirals inward and upon itself unable to release. These incomplete learning’s create tension within the energy field which in turn affect the body. They form an energetic pattern that can be seen and felt, and can often be pinpointed as the cause of pain in the body. Clairvoyantly, these energies look like tightly wound masses of rubber bands. The correlation between specific soul teaching, chakras, and physical organs is called the energetic anatomy, which Advanced Energy Healers learn to feel, see, and interpret.
What makes Soul Directed
Advanced Energy Healing different?
Advanced Energy Healing is the ascension process of soul-directed healing.
Advanced Energy Healing goes to the core of an issue to heal. It activates the soul’s desire to come into wholeness and expand further into sovereignty and enlightenment. This is done through healing incompleted cycles of abuse in your life.
Soul Directed Advanced Energy Healing is an Ascension Process where …
Your conscious awareness continually expands.
A mind, body, heart connection is made that assesses your body wisdom.
You learn to love yourself and accept yourself just
the way you are.
You learn to hold a vision of wholeness for yourself and others. The vision that says “Yes! I am ascending in my healing. Yes! I too can be enlightened, and so can we all.”
You come to peace with yourself. Life’s challenges become things of beauty as you recognize their positive intent.
You come into the experience of Truth.
