What occurs when a massage therapist and a sound healer join forces? To begin with, an extraordinary session of relaxation and bliss. What is sound healing? Sound healing is a potent therapy that blends various sounds, such as tuning forks, sound bowls, chimes, and other instruments, to create melodies and vibrations that enhance our overall well-being. This therapy offers a beautiful experience where all aspects of our energy field—body, mind, and spirit—are gently awakened

What if? What if the person you’re struggling the most with is really an angel in disguise? A while back I read a book called Soul Contracts  as research for my writing one of my books. The story goes: There were two men, one who lived on Skid Row , a place known for its large homeless population and people afflicted by addictions and mental health issues. The other was a lawyer who worked in the same area. Our society would be saying to the the lawyer, “What a great thing

What does that mean, your intutive self? Everyone has an intuitive element to them. Most of us have effectively learned to tap it down as we've gotten older. Why? It just didn't fit into our western culture of how we operate. Our westen culture is mostly about rationalism and logic (living in our head). By contrast, intuitiveness is held in high regard by other cultures. Among them, Native Americans, Abriginal Australians, along with Africa, India, and Japan all come to mi

Resting was not a word found in my vocabulary. From an early age I learned that working 24/7, accomplishing, driving myself to exhaution were the things that held value in my family of origin. I called my sister to ask her if that was her childhood experience too and without hesitation she said, "YES," with an implied "DUH!" When you hear the word rest - perhaps physical resting comes to mind. But there are several things that fall into the resting category. Physical - sle

Standing up for yourself, asking for help or stating what you need, want, and desire, for many of us, have long been taboo in our culture. I don't know about you but I was taught by my family and religious affiliation that stating a desire or need was selfish. I remember watching an old movie about Catholic nuns and thinking it was incredible, that they were not supposed to ask for anything, including the salt at the dinner table. They had to wait for someone to notice they

Put a room full of people together and ask them the same question and you will get many different answers. Why? We see things from our own point of view, from our experiences, cultures, family dynamics, people who have influenced us and of course social media. Or, seeing things differently from someone else can simply be a matter of where our interests are and where we place our attention. It does’t mean one way is right or wrong. It’s simply a matter of they’re different. I

Living in our heads means that we do the things other people have told us is the right thing to do. Sometimes we do things from guilt or feel that we should.  Living in our heads means we react to the things going on around us, rather than paying attention to what is happening inside of us. Many of us have been taught to push  through things that make us feel uncomfortable without paying attention to what our heart/body is feeling. Not being true to what we are feeling can m

I lived my first 40 years pretty good (or so I thought). I married a nice, handsome young man, we had 4 children, I worked and volunteered endless hours. AND I was there for everyone. If you needed something just ask. Actually, you didn’t even have to ask, I'd anticipate what I thought you needed or wanted and I would do just that! After volunteering for many years with the Catholic Church, I eventually became an employee. As my children began to grow and leave home, I becam

Thanks to the hard work of many Evolve to Live supporters, Self Care Awareness Month was established on the National Calendar each September to be recognized as Self Care Awareness Month since 2017. Why is this a big deal?  Well at the time, there was very little being said about the importance of making oneself a priority in our own lives. In my case, after finding out I had codependency tendencies , I definitely had put everything to do with me, my wants, needs, and desir
