It has been so long since my last post!  I apologize to my avid blog readers :)  My only excuse is that I’ve been focusing my energies into starting this new venture and all that it entails.  I have never owned my own business, so at times I feel very overwhelmed and nervous.  I know change is the only constant, but I still struggle with all of the changes in my life.  I am accustomed to working 8-5 for someone else, having a routine and knowing what is expected of me.  Now, I am my own boss, I have no strict routine and my hours change daily.  I am learning new vocabulary words such as LLC, DBA, line of credit, etc. which is difficult for me.

I am trying to take it day by day, trust the abundance of the universe and take advantage of this life-transition by nurturing my inner self through journaling, meditating, practicing yoga, walking my dog, and enjoying nature.  When I let go of the fear of starting my own business in this weak economy, I feel so grateful and honored to share sound therapy with the community!

It is my pleasure to announce I have recently made the move to practice sound therapy full-time. Because I’ll no longer have that pesky day job taking up all my time, I’ll now have more availability to schedule sound therapy sessions!I guarantee that I can find everyone an appointment time that works with their schedule.

To celebrate this transition, I would like to offer a special deal. If you contact me to schedule an appointment within the next two weeks (that’s until September 24) you’ll get $20 off the cost of that session!

Please call or email for scheduling or any questions you have. And please bookmark and keep visiting this blog for regular updates, posts, and the new “Testimonial” page!

I look forward to working with you!

A Student of the Truth asked her Wise Teacher, “what does this mean?” and the Wise Teacher answered, “what does this mean to you?

How often I look to others I consider wiser than me for answers to questions that I feel I’m in no way capable of answering on my own. The answers to life’s mysteries, to the Universal Truths of humankind, to the deep ache in my heart that longs for peace and serenity and love. I ask the Universe to send me a sign to the questions that I long to know, to allow clarity so that I can see. When I receive that sign, that feeling in my heart that tells me the Truth for me, I go directly to my teacher and ask, ‘what do you think this means, what should I do?’

I am extremely grateful for the patience of my teachers, as I do ask many questions, always sharing their experience yet encouraging me to seek the Truth from Within. It is like them that I strive to be.

I heard the conversation that began this blog just this afternoon in Tribal Wisdom, the Native American Store that my studio is above. I feel so blessed to be practicing massage in an environment that is infused with the energy of such wisdom.

If you are Leo, chances are you have some of the following characteristics:  enjoy being the center of attention, rock stars, movie stars, selfish, leaders, talented, confident, passionate, athletic, stubborn, jealous, over-bearing and arrogant.

The Sun rules the sign of Leo.  The Sun represents the vital life force and helps us define our individuality, integrity and independence.  The Sun helps us become all that we are so that we can shine in the universe.

The Sun is related to the immune system, heart function, the spine/back, and the eyes.  In my practice, I use the Sun tuning fork to bring energy, heat and vitality into the body.   This fork treats fatigue, immune system disorders, depression and arthritic pain.  When I use the Sun and Om forks together, this interval creates a strong and positive influence that brings feelings of empowerment, energy and calm.

I, too, want to thank you all for your positive words about our new website. Lula and I learned a lot about creating websites with the help of our designer, Sharon Powers. I am grateful for the experience and excited that it is up and running! I also want to thank Shannon and Erin for taking pictures for our site. Thanks to all of you for your gifts of friendship and loving support.

We had a blast at the recent Krawl.  Jim Delli Colli and I had a table set up outside “The Healing Center at Tribal Wisdom”.  Jim offered free mini astrology readings and I gave free sound therapy demonstrations.  We had a wonderful turnout. Every time I looked up from my seat, I saw a long line waiting for our services!  Lula, Christina, and Jonathan were busy showing people around our studios upstairs and talking about the services we offer.   Local artists displayed their work throughout our space giving it a wonderful feel.

I want to thank everyone who has already visited our site!! (Hey Christy, I love you and miss you too!!)

Everyone’s support and wonderful wishes is overwhelming my heart this morning with love and gratitude. I feel blessed to be surrounded with such beautiful souls.

Jen and I are truly grateful and we love you all, Lula

Characteristics of the Cancer sign: emotional, nurturing, kind, artistic, enjoy food, very sensitive, and difficult to satisfy. Cancer rules the stomach which is important in digestion and emotions.

The moon is our soul, our past, the container. It rules the sign of Cancer. The moon regulates all of the cycles in the body and rules over our bodily fluids (lymphatic, sexual, digestive, synovial, and cerebrospinal fluids). The moon’s energy can help us when we feel out of rhythm or out of flow. The moon can help us reach into our subconscious and trust our intuition.

I have a New Moon tuning fork and well as a Full Moon fork. The new moon represents the cycle of one New Moon to the next. It is opening, spiritual, and feminine. The Full Moon represents the cycle of one Full Moon to the next. It is feminine, bridging, and building. I use the New Moon fork on acupuncture points to open a meridian and invite yin energy into the meridian. I usually follow this with the Full Moon fork to bridge and complete the cycle of energy moving. I also use both of these forks on all of the chakras to help open up the stagnate energy that is present.

So the next time you look into the night sky, thank the moon for all of her wonderful healing qualities. You may even see her wink back at you!

I absolutely love giving massage and energy work. It is truly my passion and my gift. I feel healing work is what I chose as my purpose here on Earth to do to contribute to the harmony of life. I Know it is ever evolving and I am FOREVER learning from others and reading books to enhance my practice mentally, spiritually and physically.

With each session, I invite in Source Energy. I invite my Guides and Angels and the clients Guides and Angels. It is not necessary for the client to believe in this process for it to work. I create a safe and sacred space for clients to come and relax and just let go… My hope is that each client feels nurtured and healed to whatever capacity they are ready to be healed. We are all growing and opening to the Love that is here for us at our own pace.

That is the beauty of Earth. It is a school for us to learn and to grow. It is not a judgment of who is better or worse, right or wrong. It is our own unique experience becoming truly what we make it. I choose to make it BLISS!! One of my lessons here is to be grounded. My natural state is in the light and fluffy space where all is spiritual and heavenly, with metaphysical philosophies flowing. What I must concentrate on is Mother Earth and her powerful energies. Being grounded is a beautiful place to be too. For that I am truly grateful. heart smiles to all….

I have decided to write a monthly blog on the current astrological sign, its ruling planet and the mythology behind the planet. So here goes…

Characteristics of Geminis: intellectual, problem solvers, enjoy trivia, energetic, writers,  seek information, quick learners, love short distance travel, witty, nervous, particular, have little emotion, and black and white thinkers.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. In Roman mythology, Mercury is the messenger of the gods who guided souls of the dead to the underworld. He was known to talk his way out of messy situations so he is known for his communication skills.

I use my Mercury tuning fork on most of my clients to help communicate relaxation, balance, harmony, self love, optimism, creativity and growth. I also use it to open the throat chakra which helps clients with their written and communication skills. Whether you need to stand up for yourself, set a boundary or speak your truth, Mercury is there to help.
