Have you ever had a time in your life when you had no control over an outcome? As I live in New Orleans, this feeling comes around every June and lasts ’til November 1. Five months of living in uncertainty of a storm coming, potential evacuation, impending destruction, and living in unknown conditions. We have lived through many hurricanes and experienced dangerous conditions. Uncertainty digs up the darkest and deepest emotions you can harbor and challenges the best to see what you are made of. As you watch the weather this week going forward, consider your present status; what would…

“When you have a reading You may hear snippets of something that does not seem to fit No worries They may be reading that part of you that you are not aware of yet Or that part of you in another space and time Or perhaps, they may be reading you through a filter Listen, let the energy move you, and let go of the story and validation behind it All is just a blink of an eye to never repeat again Everything is story of the cosmic waves and how we dance with them A reading may open your…
When emotions, pain, and challenges seem to be at every turn:You are not brokenYou are stuck in the doorYou are not downYou are taking a breathYou are not defeatedIt was the wrong roadYou are not destroyedThe story line ended.Be guided to find conversation and support for the time you are in. Reach out, ask for a few minutes of time. Check the website for a special on sessions until August 1. Find a local chapter that supports you with meetings or resources. We were meant to explore these rocks in life but perhaps asking for support is also part of…
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. I had grown weary of intense inferno heat and high humidity where the weight of the air was oppressive. As I hope for more days such as today, I can only enjoy today, as tomorrow is another story. Heat and humidity to return. So here is a profound…
The physical pains they show up. I hold them within my hands. What are they trying to say? What are they creating?
Dr. Jeanette welcomes Jane Makovicka, author of With Every End There Is A New Beginning, to share how life experiences can hide from our thoughts and deny the healing in this life we are seeking. Time to express our true feelings on paper and see with our eyes the path we are on. Has your life been so harsh and painful that the sooner you forget it the better? Are you storing up your emotions of grief and anger because you would not want anyone to see them? How hard are you pushing things down inside of you because you…
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. Once you open a door of creativity, compassion and kindness, and supporting others; are you willing to say ‘I am only doing this for now. Once things get back to normal I am…
