I am sure most of us have experienced that nagging tightness and discomfort at the top of either or both sides of our back. These spots are near the spine and beginning of shoulder blade caused by energy blocks. Jin Shin Jyutsu®, (The Touch of Healing, by Alice Burmeister with Tom Monte) refers to these points as SEL #11, which stands for Safety Energy Locks. You can practice this simple exercise using Jin Shin Jyutsu® to reduce fatigue, tension, and stress. It is called Harmonizing The Mediator Flows. This practice helps bring harmony and balance to your body. Many find it calming and use it to fall asleep, while others use it to invigorate themselves upon awakening. For optimum results, you can use this daily, whenever needed for a couple of minutes on each side. If you spend a great deal of time at the computer, it is a No-brainer….try it!

Do you ever have difficulty recalling dreams? These crystals can be most helpful to you in remembering dreams. These are my five favorites. Place the first four crystals, either one at a time or all together, under your pillow at night. It might take a little while to begin to recall your dreams. Don’t get discouraged. Dreaming is healing.

During an MRI test the author needed, to make sure her brain tumor had not recurred, found the banging noise of the test made it difficult to chant, meditate or pray. She started using an affirmation in step with the noisy rhythmic beat of the machine, (more like chanting inwardly). She repeated over and over “Relaxed and happy from head to toe”, saying one word for each beat. This helped to keep her mind focused and calm, preventing thoughts like, “I can’t stand this”. Thoughts which were waiting to emerge. She reported how much it helped when the test was completed. I am sad that I hadn’t remembered this before a loved one of mine had to experience the noise of a MRI test.
For many years Goddess expert, Caroline Wise, has been researching the origins of Elen. Here are some of her views on this little known deity, who might easily have existed as long ago as Palaeolithic times:
Here is the contents of Meryl Streep’s letter printed by the Associated Press: “I am writing to ask you to stand up for equality – for your mother, your daughter, your sister, your wife or yourself – by actively supporting the Equal Rights Amendment. A whole new generation of women and girls are talking about equality – equal pay, equal protection from sexual assault, equal rights.”
While on my early walk, I came upon 3 pileated woodpeckers. Now they are common in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, but very seldom do I see them on my walk and never 3 together. I was fascinated listening to the sounds they make before starting to drill for hidden pleasures. I followed this amazing trio from tree to tree until they flew off.
