My Alaskan Malamute is chewing me out of house and home. One day I started noticing unidentified strange shaped objects (USSO’s) in my back yard. Upon closer inspection I realized the strange blobs were tree roots which she managed to whittle away into amorphous, artistic shapes. Could my dog be an artist at heart?

We are all artists and create our own reality at every moment, everyday. Every time you make a decision you are being creative, no one else could have made that specific choice for you. We write new chapters of our lives everyday. Find out what makes you sing with joy and pursue it with all your heart.

Take a lesson from Maya the Malamute…

I wonder if I could sell them on EBay.

As I was walking around my neighborhood my mind kept wandering to every problem in my life. This was supposed to be a relaxing walk with my dog but I anxiously kept thinking about tasks I needed to do.

I then glanced up and noticed a plump little bird sitting on a telephone wire happily chirping away. I thought to myself how nice it must be to live in the moment and be free from worries and fears. People who believe in reincarnation say that to come back as a lower life form is not desirable.

However, I can’t help but wonder who really winds up suffering more, we as humans or the bird contentedly singing. In the rush of our everyday lives we forget that all we really have is this moment right here, right now and we need to live every second with complete bliss and abandon like the little bird on a wire. Freedom comes when we live without regret or worry for the future.… I just wish I could figure out a way to snuggle with the bird.

The other day I was busy cleaning my house while my partner was lounging on the couch listening to Justin Timberlake at ear splitting levels. As I was swiffering around the house, a feeling of resentment and anger started to emerge. Why is he not helping me while I am laboring over the house?. Anyway, My music snobbishness reared it’s ugly head and I wound up snapping, criticizing him and the music he was listening to (Justin Timberlake!?!?!).

My partner calmly looked at me and said “why are you criticizing me about my music? I don’t criticize you for the music you listen to”.  As I looked at him, a feeling of regret came over me and said “I know”

Sometimes in the heat of our anger we need to step back and realize that we all deserve love and respect even if the other person’s views or listening tastes are different. As a wise Buddhist teacher told me: “We don’t need other people to change, we just need to change our mind. If we stop seeing people with faults we can cherish them more.”

Since I began my spiritual journey to find inner peace and health, I have been using meditation Cd’s to help me through the process by reducing the mental chatter in my mind.  I have found several good Cd’s that seem to help me focus and reduce anxiety.  Here is a quick review of my meditation music listed in order of preference.

Kelly Howell- Brain Sync- “Healing Meditation” and “The Secret Universal Mind”- Brain SyncShe has a very soothing voice with beautiful music and the guided meditation imagery is excellent . She also incorporates brainwave entrainment technology to induce delta and theta states that are needed for deep meditation. I downloaded the Cd’s from her website and have been listening to them before I go to sleep. I definitely seem to remember my dreams more and have also been using the “Healing Meditation” CD for nerve pain.  These Cd’s require Headphones.

• Meditainment.com Subscription- I subscribed to this last year and have downloaded many different guided meditations for a 6 month subscription fee. These guided meditations have very creative imagery and I really like the British accented guide. However, they do not incorporate any brainwave entrainment sounds.
• Deepak Chopra-Soul Of Healing Meditations CD- I like the eastern music combined with the voice of Deepak Chopra to create a calming peaceful feeling that helps me with any physical pain that I feel. Incorporates some eastern mysticism/religion into the meditations.
• Rebecca Nagy Instant Calm© CD- A great Cd for people who are new to meditation. Includes beautiful piano music with guided meditations by Rebecca. She introduces some counting technique exercises, progressive relaxation, and positive affirmations that are very helpful and calming.
• Neuroprogrammer2 -Not really a Cd but a brainwave entrainment generator that runs on your computer. I have used this to make my own Cd’s or to use on my ipod. There are many different presets for different issues including fibromyalgia, depression, etc. I like this software and find it helpful but I miss the not having music or a soothing voice guiding me through the process. However, you can add your own affirmation or music to the generated tones.
• Hemisync Metamusic Oasis CD- Beautiful music with embedded hemisync tones similar to brain sync.  Unguided CD that helps me relax when I am under stress. I usually listen to this through my main stereo at home without headphones
• Doc Childre’s Heart Zones CD- I downloaded this from the Heart Math website. The music is really dated sounding. Reminds me of video production music used in the 80’s. Somewhat relaxing but could not get over the music.

Quantum-Touch represents a major breakthrough in the art of hands-on healing. Quantum-Touch practitioners use special breathing and body focusing techniques, to raise your energy level so high, that with but a light touch, you can see postural corrections spontaneously occur as bones gently glide back into their correct alignment. Beyond this, inflammation is rapidly reduced and healing is profoundly accelerated. Since the body already knows how to heal itself, the practitioner need only apply the energy to affected areas. For the millions suffering from neck or back pain, this may well be the safest, fastest and most effective treatment ever discovered. —Facilitated by Mike Love and Judy Johnston.
