    The Enneagram Personality System: Seven, The Enthusiast
    by Viki Markham, Ph.D / Psychotherapist and Certified Enneagram Teacher
    The Seven is in the ‘Head’ or Fear Triad with numbers Five and Six. They have in common issues of anxiety and trust. In the childhood of the Seven, there was some sort of emotional neglect, usually by their mother, but not necessarily intentional neglect. Often it is circumstances that occur to cause the young Seven to not get the nurturing they need, so that they became self sufficient before they are emotionally capable of doing so. This causes an anxiety driven personality looking out for themselves because they don’t believe anyone else will. Many Sevens are not aware of the anxiety that drives them, seeing their own attitude as positive and useful.

    Self Worth for Better Balance
    by Stefanie Miller / Reiki Master, Angeltherapy Practitioner and Certified School Teacher
    We strive to live balanced lives filled with love, happiness and peace. The only way we can have that is by creating relationships and situations that are authentic. Take a look at yourself and see how much you have to offer. Do not cringe at any mention of your worthiness. Look yourself in the eye (in the mirror) and practice some positive affirmations. Make time throughout the day to connect with your heart. Connect with your authentic feelings. It's important that we feel and own our feelings, rather than suppressing them for fear of upsetting someone or hurting their feelings. Check in with you solar plexus or stomach region. It is the area that is the seat of your emotions. It is where we hold in our feelings. It also represents power and control. Check in to see if you feel that you are in control of your life and feelings. Breathe through it.

    The Power of Pure Leisure
    by Lee Chamberland / Power of Wellness Coaching, Seminars and Retreats
    For so many of us, pure leisure feels like a distant memory – our lives are so full of the day to day tasks of living and taking care of business. And when we do take time out for leisure, there are often ulterior motives. For example, we walk around our neighborhood or play tennis in order to stay fit and/or lose weight; we go dancing so that we can meet other single people, we do crossword puzzles in order to keep our minds sharp because we’ve read somewhere that that helps. Of course these are all wonderful activities and it’s possible to enjoy ourselves immensely at the same time as reaping the other benefits; and yet it’s also possible (and common) to neglect the enjoyment factor in pursuit of the other pay-offs we’re seeking. And when that happens, even our “free time activities” can begin to feel like work … another task to add to the long list of daily to do’s.

     FEATURED BOOK
    LIFE and MIND —
    In Search of
    the Physical Basis

    Edited by Savely Savva

    Contemporary physics cannot explain life. The postulated concept of the biofield control system and experimental and theoretical works presented in LIFE and MIND - In Search of the Physical Basis suggest ways to broaden current scientific paradigm. Experimental studies presented and referred to in this book suggest that the operation of the organism cannot be reduced to chemical interactions since contemporary chemistry knows only electric and thermal forces; that the biological nuclear synthesis presented by Louis Kervran in 1960-80's is not a myth; that the non-structural memory of water manifests itself at organism, cellular and enzymes levels; that human intent and / or expectation may effect cellular equilibrium, etc.

     FEATURED BOOK
    NEW
    From Deepak Chopra

    Why is God Laughing?
    The Path to Joy and Spiritual Optimism


    In WHY IS GOD LAUGHING? bestselling author Deepak Chopra uses a fictional tale of a comedian and his unlikely mentor to show us a path back to hope, joy, and even enlightenment — with a lot of laughter along the way. This refreshing take on spirituality gives us ten reasons to be optimistic, even in our challenging world, and shows us why laughter from the heart is the healthiest response to life.

    NAAM YOGA TEACHER TRAINING with GURUNAM
    3 Week Intensive in Joshua Tree, CA
    August 1-23, 2008


    FOR HEALING:
    "Serve! Because when you serve, you forget yourself and the Heavens take over. They will do it for you. Then, forgive people. FORGIVE THEM! Whatever they did to you, forgive it. FORGIVE IT! As soon as you forgive it, the bundled up energy inside you that you are holding to not forgive them, will release itself and go out. Otherwise you have 50% of the healing energy that is in you stuck with somebody you don't want to forgive. It is stuck! But as soon as you forgive, it is released and you let the cosmic do what it does best....which is having 100% of the healing energy working for you. Then you heal. When you heal, things work for you. Blocks just melt away. That is how life is." - Joseph Michael Levry (Gurunam)
