I hope you have had time to watch and enjoy some of the Olympic games. My family and I love to watch the athletes and hear their personal stories. It is so inspiring! Speaking of inspiring, did you see the Tai Chi players in the opening ceremonies? It was beautiful the way they all moved together in perfect harmony, all 2008 or them.

And, by the way, there are many styles of Tai Chi. The style on my Tai Chi Flow DVDs is Yang style. It is gentler and doesn’t have all the explosive kicks and turns that were done in the opening ceremonies.

On Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26^th & 27^th I will be presenting some workshops in Dubuque, Iowa.

These are fun, informative presentations, but they are NOT the Calyco Healing training. You may attend both mornings or only one--your choice!

Friday Morning 9 - 11:30 am
Workshop: Your Energy Speaks Louder Than Your Words

Sat. Morning 9 - 11:30 am
Movement Class: Tai Chi Flow & More Energy Info!

30 min. Private Energy Healing Sessions in person with me available both afternoons for only $50 per session.

More information will be listed on my website soon, but for now if you are interested in attending, please email me.

If you haven’t joined us on a Group Healing Call, I encourage you to give it a try! The feedback has been great! It makes me very happy to know that from these calls you are getting a lot of personal clearing, new insights and “aha’s”!

Here is the summer schedule for the Group Phone Sessions:

DAYTIME ~ August 25th - Monday - 11:30 am - Finances
EVENING ~ Sept. 3rd - Wednesday – 6:00 pm – Weight Loss
DAYTIME ~ Sept. 22nd - Monday - 11:30 am – Self Worth
EVENING ~ Oct. 9th - Thursday – 6:00 pm – Uncovering                       Talents/Creativity

I offer 6 different TOPICS, rotated so that every 3 months we begin again. Each call is different depending on who is calling in and what their specific issues are regarding that topic. You can join every call, or just jump in here and there for a single topic that interests you. I offer some in the evening and some in the daytime, to accommodate everyone’s schedule, so make sure to double check the time when registering.

This is #3 of a 3-part summer series:
Recognizing, Releasing, Re-weaving

If you missed part 1 go here to read it.

If you missed part 2 go here to read it.

June’s article talked about recognizing things that we hold on to that are not for our highest good. July’s article was a meditation to help release those self-defeating thoughts and actions. Now let’s talk about where to go after we’ve pinpointed the problem, and let go of the negative emotions encouraging the behavior.

It’s been scientifically proven that the Universe doesn’t like a vacuum. If we don’t fill the void that is left there after the negative emotions have been released, we take the chance of it subconsciously getting filled with more things we don’t want. So it just makes sense to consciously replace those lower vibrations with higher vibrations. That means, we choose to no longer think the negative thoughts, and instead focus on good, positive affirmations.

Writing your own positive affirmations is really quite simple. By thinking of what it is you want to change in your life, and how it would look in your “ideal” world, you already have the basis of a great affirmation. I always ask clients, “How do you wish it was?”, “How would you like it to be?” By answering those questions you get statements that can easily be tweaked into the perfect affirmations for you.

Here’s how to begin: Notice your speech patterns and change them when necessary. Do you ever say things like, "I'm not good enough", "I can't afford it", "I'm so fat," "There are no good men/women out there for me", etc. All of these are examples of very limited thinking. When you hear that negative self-talk creeping into your thoughts, acknowledge it briefly, and then let it go by replacing it with new positive affirmation.

Examples:
I am always good enough
Money flows to me
I am worthy and deserving of a great life
I always have enough money to pay my bills and much more
I love my healthy, fit body
I am worthy of and attract a healthy relationship.

Always state them in the present tense, I like to begin with "I AM". Even if you are 30 lbs. overweight and your conscious mind isn't quite buying it, the sub-conscious mind, which sees in pictures, will take it without questioning and your behaviors always align themselves with that sub-conscious belief.

If you catch yourself reverting back to any negative thought habits ask yourself "If I could have anything I want in this situation, what would that look like?" Feel it, smell it, taste it, touch it. The more senses you engage, the easier it becomes to manifest that into a reality. And the more vigilant you are about immediately kicking out those negative thoughts and replacing them with positive affirmations, the easier it becomes to make that your new mode of operation. It will become easier and easier to send away the self-doubt as soon as it shows up, instead of letting it stay for awhile and allowing it to discourage you. With patience and practice this becomes a habit, and that is how you re-weave your thought patterns into a beautiful, new tapestry!

Because I love kids and I'm always happy to spread the word about things that can help better their lives, I want to let you know about this helpful website: Grandmas Healthy Kids Club is an online resource to give parents everything they need to help kids stay fit and healthy. After seeing all the recent media coverage about the epidemic of overweight children, Bev Grey decided to do something to help. She created a website that has programs to help children lose weight safely or just improve their eating and exercise habits for better health and more energy. Her site also offers age appropriate books, dvds, and exercise equipment.
