life challenges

Many times we are asked by our doctors, ‘how do you feel’? We give them answers they can understand or expect to hear. Recently, someone asked me about how my head was doing? My answer: “Woke today and head felt like a bag of metal space junk tossing around with sharp edges, swamp stench, and distortion” How about that description! When we use descriptive words to explain our experience, it leads us to a very unique way of exploring our current situation. It is invaluable to an experienced doctor who can guide you through the process of exploring what is…

In the past decade, I would always post pictures of the clouds and the pictures they would reflect. I haven’t been posting for quite awhile. Life challenges take over and our world is changing so fast, I can hardly keep up. Today, it was a pleasant day, cool temperature, and dry air.

Heat and humidity to return. So here is a profound…

Below is what I have been experiencing over the last few months. It is long, it is a story, and it may help you find words that perhaps you have been also feeling. At this time in our life, we are opening up to a spiritual journey that is taking our physical form along for the rip roaring ride; it has been difficult many times. How have you been doing these past few months? When I was in a book store last November and passed the table with date books for this year, I set my hand on top the…

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Agnes Lui, author of Into Your Child’s Heart, to share how life events can shape a child’s life. Children are growing up in times of tragic life events; 9/11 and an epidemic. How you speak to your child and engage in their thoughts and emotions about these events can shape how they handle future challenges in their lives. A trauma in early childhood can create beliefs that are rooted in fear, death, or loss and damage a heart for a lifetime. Healing, teaching and learning through the generations with eyes of the present moment is essential from elders to children….

Thought for the week to consider:  How has life changed for you? Are you looking to go ‘back’ to the way you had things? What would you like to see change for your life going forward? The fork in the road has already altered our lives and if we consider this as a great opportunity for self reflection, might we let go of getting back to anything.

Join Dr. Jeanette as she shares on radio, blog postings and social media for the latest updates and thought provoking concepts of creating a new…

Copyright 2010 Out of the Box Healthcare All Rights Reserved Notice anything in this picture? We did. We thought perhaps the bird just had it’s leg up or it was turned. So we decided to check our other five photos of the same birds. We discovered that the same two birds had only one leg. Yet, if you were not looking for it, you would not have noticed it. So, if you are in a group of people, do you know all there is to know about them? Are they standing on one foot?   If you walk down your…
