•"Magic of Pray Rain Journaling," by Jeannette Maw
I recently attended a teleconference with Jeannette Maw and a colleague of hers she called the Queen of Love!!
Jeannette was discussing her Electronic Book "Miracles of Pray Rain Journaling." The call was a question and answer session about the Pray Rain Journal experience.
This Electronic Book was a real insight for me because I've kept journals for years but they are about things that happen and some of those experiences made me feel bad.
The journaling experience for me has always been...
•Banish the Blahs TeleInterview, by Kate Loving Shenk
I was happy to attend the teleinterview of Joan Adams and Betty De Lorme 7/8/08. Charlie Leetham did an expert job in interviewing these two energetic ladies, whose laughter and love lit up the telephone lines and cellular phone towers all across the globe!!
Betty and Joan are sisters and several other family members attended the call. They all were full of life and exuded great vitality!
By the end of the call, my vibe was revved up! I wanted to go dancing! But instead I found my favorite...
•Eternal Blessings of BaBaji
The moment you think you have gone as far as you can in the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, a great mystery presents itself and allows the unanswered questions of life to expand.
Such a moment happened to me on the way to work the other night. I am thankful I have some time to ponder this unusual occurance.
Let me first say that one of my favorite books of all time is: "Autobiography of A Yogi" by Paramahandsa Yogananda. My mother purchased it the moment it was published in 1946 and...
•Nighty Night Shift
Working the night shift, as I have, has been a wonderful exercise in letting go of Circadian Rhythms and creating my own rhythm. By changing my perspective in this way, the night has become my familiar, a kind of safe haven in the routine of life.
Night shift has the unusual capacity, as far as nursing goes, to create a camaraderie of helpers who pitch in and get the job done efficiently.
Nights in our Labor and Delivery unit is where the action is sans administration, or ancillary staff...
•Nurses And Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to one or more terrifying events in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened.
It is a severe and ongoing emotional reaction to an extreme psychological trauma. This stressor may involve someone's actual death or a threat to the patient's or someone else's life, serious physical injury, or threat to physical and/or psychological integrity, to a degree that usual psychological defenses are...
•Punitive Leadership Styles
I was tidying up the books beside our bed recently and saw a book my husband Tom was reading: "The Sociopath Next Door" by Martha Stoudt, Ph.D.
I remembered reading that book several years ago during a particularly traumatic time I was experiencing with my boss.
Sure enough, Tom was grappling with a boss who was singling him out for public ridicule.
Over my twenty three work history, I had three bosses who seemed to be insane. After dealing repeatedly with their psychotic behavior,...
•The Saint Francis Effect
I just saved a Bull Frog in the cistern we are restoring in our 100 year old barn. She is a beautiful creature and has lived there for for perhaps more than a year. But since we are about to do some heavy duty construction on the barn's foundation, I needed to go down through a very narrow hole to retrieve her.
I grabbed her with two hands and looked into her eyes before placing her in a plastic jar to hand to Tom, my husband, who had created a large pool for her in the basement.
A Saint...
•Therapeutic Touch Revisited Ten Years Later
I was cleaning the barn today, a job that will take at least several days. I kept finding things I totally forgot about, like an old green urn that used to sit in the corner of the living room in the old home stead, which housed a large wooden protractor we used to draw circles with on the chalk board.
This urn is probably a good sixty years old, at least.
Then I found a letter I wrote to the New York Times in 1998 that I sent but was never published. I remember the feeling of disappointment...
•Z For Z Point
One of my fellow Abundant Babe Master Mind Members offered to do a Z point session with me by telephone last week. Her name is Laura Whitelaw, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and soon to be Z point practitioner and author of "Resume Writing Strategies Revealed."
I decided not to do any research on this energy healing method for clearing old residual patterns and dysfunctional emotions that styme progress along the pathway to Self-Realization.
I doubted it would make much sense until I had...
•ZPoint For Pain
I have a pain in my brain, it seems, near my left temple. The pain surfaced last night as my Labor and Delivery unit got busier and busier. I started out the night with a headache which my nursing colleague soothed away with the Mechano treatment I teach.
She does a superb job.
The pain in my brain keeps surfacing and I think about everything it could be.
An atypical migraine, perhaps?
A lingering pain from the earlier headache?
A brain aneurysm? A brain tumor?
A stroke?
My imagination...
