Distance Healing Part II
Earlier this week, I started a conversation about distance healing. In the first post, I talked about science and research regarding distance healing. For Part II, I’d like to focus more on the energetic and spiritual nature of healing in general, but distance healing specifically. If you would like to learn more about healing in general, I wrote an article for The Heroic Journal about the difference in healing vs. curing, which can also be found here, in the July 11 archives of this blog. About half of my Blessings Enterprises practice involves distance healing. I have clients of all...
Read MoreDistance Healing Part I
About half of my practice involves working with clients of all ages at a distance. I’ve recently received more questions about “what is it?” and “how does it work?” so I’m going to do a few basics here. Please understand that volumes have been written about this, so I’m not going to adequately capture this in a blog post, even one this long. But I’d like to at least address the basic question, so I’ll include my own personal thoughts, as well as some hard scientific research available to us. Today I’ll talk about research and some of those impacts, and in a following post I’ll get into...

Read MoreRitual, Incense and Ritual Incense
Hello all 🙂 Several people asked me weeks ago to order incense and it has arrived. Much of this comes from Nepal, made by hand by the monks, and the rest from Japan, and has been on back order. I was going to just post this, but in offering my own incense this morning, of course I started thinking about random things and off on the boat ride of my stream of consciousness we go. Most people who come here for sessions walk in, take a deep breath and comment on the distinctive scent of the space. That is the result of high quality ritual incense. Incense has been burned for centuries as...
Read MorePhilosophers, Poets & the $64,000 Question
Today I had one of those interesting days, the kind when it all sort of flows and time bends softly and warmly around the looking glass, the kind that feels somehow touched by the Divine yet is sort of emotionally exhausting in that same way. This morning I blogged on the Spirituality of Grief and Joy site about my many ponderings…from Jean Piaget to Buddha and CS Lewis and a bunch of other stuff… and at the time it even seemed to make sense 😉 Tonight I’m thinking of Rumi and oddly enough, the Buddhist sense of the 8 Worldly Dharmas. The 8 Worldly Dharmas are: praise and...
