Geopathic stress and wellness
Energetic disturbances in the environment can affect your physical, mental health and wellness. Geopathic stress is placed on the body when you live or work around weak electromagnetic fields cured by underground streams, fault lines, caverns or certain minerals. Some early symptoms are restlessness, headaches, insomnia, and fatigue. Over time these symptoms can grow into more serious health concerns including Multiple sclerosis, (MS) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, cancer, and emotional or behavioral problems. If the body is not able to rest and repair through healthy sleep patterns, it cannot perform the necessary metabolic processes, repair cell damage, fight infection or properly absorb nutrients. Instead, the body must use its energy to fight the effects of geopathic stress.
There are several types of offending geopathic stresses. Start by thinking about the type of stress and the location of it in your home. This will affect how you deal with it. Underground streams, vortex, or fault lines can amplify the effect of energy. Patterns may be constant or seasonal.
Find the location of the energy by dowsing with a stick or a pendulum. I prefer self-muscle testing. A compass can also help you find an electromagnetic disturbance. Turn to face north and then slowly move […]
Improve your employer and employee relationship.
Do you want to improve your employer and employee relationship?
Are you looking to become a likable leader? It doesn’t matter if you have movie-star good looks, what matters is the quality of your relationships. For a company to perform optimally, it’s important to feel comfortable with the company’s leadership. If you have a good employer and employee relationship, you will be motivated to perform better and work harder. A likable leader interacts well, is respectful and gets results. The better your employer and employee relationship are, the stronger your company will be.
Day to day interactions means a lot. Good communication, timeliness and keeping your word are crucial to building trust and a sense of community within your organization.
Increase your positive emotional connections.
Relationships are contagious just like flu or cold. If a leader is a frustrated, short-tempered and angry type, the emotion will spread faster among employees. But, if the employer is good-natured, polite and optimistic, the positive emotions will flow to others. Make sure you have only positive emotional traits to spread to others.
Showcase solid integrity.
Your integrity will be established only when you are trustworthy and reliable. If you keep your promises and commitments, […]

Change is inevitable and you can grown from it
The only this that is certain in this life is change.
I recently read an article that said all of the Buddhist teachings could be summed up in two words. “Everything changes”. The harder you resist change, the more you suffer. Be flexible and embrace change, and your life becomes infinitely easier.
A lot of people are uncomfortable with uncertainty. As a result, they struggle to feel a greater sense of control over their lives. They feel more secure knowing what to expect from every day and every situation. This need to be in control can range from subtle and easy to manage, to highly difficult to live with.
Often, a disruption in life circumstances is the catalyst that brings people into therapy. The death of a loved one, divorce, college graduation, and job loss are all major adjustments that cause stress and sometimes trigger emotional or physical symptoms. Those triggers are easily identified and usually easily resolved.
Most people are afraid to change because they lack practical skills to help them cope. They may have had chaotic childhoods that did not prepare them. Others were either sheltered from change or suffered so many changes in their young […]

An anxiety disorder may be treated with anxiety treatment. The treatment choice is dependent on the kind of disorder you are having. It all depends on how frequent you have anxiety attacks and what type of disorder it is, how severe it is and the personal choice of the one having it. Physicians often use a combination of treatments to offer maximum relief. In this section, we will discuss the various treatment options and the types of treatment for this particular disorder.
The various causes of anxiety…
Whenever there is a stressful situation, your reaction is getting anxious. But, anxiety helps an individual to cope with tough and demanding situations. Being anxious when the situation calls for it is pretty normal. But, if anxiety is a common occurrence then it is a disorder. At times, the reaction to the situation may also get out of control. This is again a disorder.
Anxiety disorder is that condition whereby the sufferer experiences stress and uneasiness at situations that seem normal to the other person. Such a situation and experience interferes with […]
HBLU and the structure of trauma
I watched for the better part of two years as the Tappan Zee bridge was replaced. The parts for the new bridge were assembled and the structure was created from deep under the water. Layer upon layer was added until the structure was capable of allowing its first passenger vehicles. It was finally complete and with the same painstaking attention to structure, the old bridge was disassembled and removed until not a trace of its existence is left. HBLU is groundbreaking in its ability to map out and dismantle the structure of trauma.
Judith Swack published her first paper on the structure of trauma in 1994. She recognized that most traumas fell into one of two categories: loss and violence. Because it takes so much energy to compensate for traumatic experiences, people who have suffered but not cleared trauma may have difficulty fully engaging in life. They remain numb even after the initial strong negative emotions have worn off.
Initial Shock
The initial shock occurs at the first introduction of trauma. The phone call, face to face meeting or first hand witnessing of the traumatic event is imprinted in the body […]
Three scientifically proven steps to increase happiness
People rate happiness as the most important factor in one’s life– more than material success or physical beauty. In fact, a new branch of psychology called ‘positive psychology’ focuses on what we can change in our habits and lives to increase happiness. The science of happiness is a blossoming field of study which identifies key factors to improving overall feelings of well-being.
And with good reason. Perceived happiness has been linked to physical health, including reducing inflammation, preventing cardiovascular disease and life threatening illnesses. Happy employees are more productive, and deep contentment in one’s life and mind offers more freedom in life.
There are several factors involved in your happiness level: genetics, life circumstances and personal outlook all play a role, according to Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD. In her book ‘The How of Happiness,’ she explains genetics account for 50% of our happiness (called a ‘set point’), life circumstances take up another 10%, leaving 40% to our mindset.
That means a whopping 40% of our happiness levels are our choice. It’s a conscious decision to incorporate scientifically proven methods on how to be happy. Although it takes effort to change our habits, it is our natural state to be blissful and at peace. Below […]

Why forgiveness matters.
“Forgive and forget” is one of the most widely used platitudes. It is simple advice taught to children but rarely followed by adults. Adults always find a way to avoid or explain away the need for one or both parts. We avoid forgiveness in order to maintain our sense of righteous indignation. We avoid forgetting in order to stay safe from future slights or assaults. Or so we think…
I spoke to my cousin after a very long estrangement. My parents had ended their relationship with her many years before and were against my reunion. Then, a huge tragedy rocked my family and she wanted to be included. My father finally gave in and spoke to her only to realize that everything he thought he knew about her was wrong. His memory of her and his feelings was frozen in time. He had spent 20 years telling himself a story that wasn’t true anymore. She had gone on with her life but he still held this outdated opinion about her. What’s worse, the relationship was damaged and beyond repair. In that short interaction, I understood why forgiveness is so important.
Withholding forgiveness keeps you frozen in time.
A grudge happens when a […]
HBLU for trauma therapy
I have practiced trauma therapy for almost two decades. Clients who have worked with me over the last 3 years have heard me talk about HBLU for trauma therapy and more. Many of my clients have tried it and experienced the positive results and lasting benefits. People have seen their lives improve. I realize that HBLU or “Healing from the body level up” is not yet a household name, but it should be. I became a therapist because therapy helped me as a child. I studied psychodynamic psychotherapy because that was the background of the therapists who helped me the most. Throughout my career, I have loved learning about human nature and I love the field of psychology. I have followed the paths of therapists who taught me, inspired me and piqued my interest. HBLU has been no different.
I found HBLU quite accidentally while attending a conference for comprehensive energy psychology. At that point, I was curious, but still skeptical about how the bodies energy system can be utilized to accelerate change and growth. I found myself mesmerized by the lecture and demonstration the founder of HBLU, Judith Swack, gave at the conference. She took a […]
