Simple Energetic Tools For Promoting Physical And Energetic Health.

"Whenever anything is out of balance In your energy bodies or in your physical body, it automatically seeks to regain balance. Most of this system runs beneath the level of your conscious awareness. The wisdom held in this area of your being is probably much greater than you realize. We are just beginning to learn how to utilize it consciously." ~ Barbara Brennan 

Chakras

Chakras look like funnels of energy. They exist on the seven levels of your energetic field. They extend out in the front and back of your body.

Chakras take in and absorb energy (Chi) from the universal life energy field. If a Chakra stops functioning properly or becomes clogged the intake of energy will be disturbed. The body organs served by that Chakra will not get their needed supply. If dysfunction continues, normal functioning of the organs and body parts in that particular area can become weakened, as will immune defenses. Over time disease can set in, in that part of the body. - Excerpt from Light Emerging: The Journey Of Personal Healing

We feel Chakra health is so important we have a page dedicated to it. 

Fun Ways To Celebrate Spring Break Without Breaking The Bank!

• Get outside. Turn off the TV! If weather permits take advantage of the nice weather and take the kids on a hike, visit a zoo, go to the park, go camping, even camping in the backyard can be a lot of fun.
• Look for free or inexpensive activities taking place in your area.
• Host a potluck and invite friends, family and neighbors.
• Family fun game nights are a blast. Both our families have held game nights since our kids where little. Even as grown adults they love participating in playing games.
• Cook dinners or bake together. Make a home video to capture the memories.
• Spend quality time together. Participate and engage with your children. Listen to them. Ask them questions. These are the kinds of memories your children will remember.
• Do you have budding entrepreneurs? Encourage their entrepreneurial skills by brainstorming some ideas on how they can make a little extra money. Such as setting up a lemonade stand, helping out with chores. Two young ladies came to our houses the other day selling homemade marbles made out of play dough for .10 cents. Of course we supported their entrepreneurial spirit. Make sure your ideas are safe and appropriate for your children’s ages and neighborhood.
• Plant a garden or begin by growing herbs in the house.
• Draw on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk.

Colors can be used for supporting a purpose, treating disease, balancing dysfunctional Chakras and enhancing your home and life.

As I grab a cup of coffee and sit down to write today I'm drawn to the topic of color and healing. We've touched on the subject of color before but it's prevalent in my mind today so I'm listening to my intuition and exploring it even deeper. Maybe it's because I have an arm sprain that's been needing some attention this past week. Maybe, it's because I'm energetically shifting from Winter to Spring with mother earth. I'm craving to be surrounded by strong brilliant bold colors. Today i'm surrounded by purple. I'm wearing purple and drinking out of a purple coffee cup. Soon very soon I'll be able to fill my flower pots and revel in the visits from the bubble bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Every day the snow is melting more and the birds are returning here to Montana.

The funny thing is when I began to write this post for you today I was drawn to a favorite book of mine that I haven't opened in years. Light Emerging-The Journey Of Personal Healing by Barbara Ann Brennan. I randomly opened it to page 114 and was nearly brought to tears as words and colors popped out at me. Words and colors not just for me but for others in my life. Maybe you'll benefit from them as well. :)

Sound and color are created by vibrational waves, they both have structure and a frequency of vibration. Color is essential for health. We need all the colors in the auric fields, when we are clear, we are automatically attracted to the colors we need.

Intentional Conscious Parenting Tip For The Day!

"It feels good to know that I am safe and I am loved." ~ Louise Hay

Just a friendly reminder children feel safe when you do. If you are nervous and anxious they are going to feel this. Whatever you put out they receive vibrationally, energetically and physically.

Record Breaking Snow! Winter 2014.

This is Carol's swing and fire pit in her back yard.

Here in Missoula, Montana we are having record breaking snow levels. We haven't had this much snow in February since the 30's. It just keeps coming. We'll get it cleared out, have a little break and then another storm will roll in. As I type this blog post we are under a severe blizzard warning. 50 mile an hour winds are supposed to be blowing in this evening. Time will tell. Here is several pictures of the snow just in our little neck of the woods. To see more Missoula 2014 snow pictures go here! Just to give you a heads up, there is a lot of pictures. We wanted to make it easy for family and friends to see the pictures in one convenient space instead of emailing each and everyone of them.

The front of Carol's house. We had to dig our way out this morning.

You can guide your children toward becoming compassionate, heart-centered adults who lead fulfilling, no-limit lives. ~ Wayne Dyer

Does Your Child's School Lunch Leave You Feeling Helpless?

Nutrition and health is vitally important for our children. Nutrition supports healthy bodies, the ability to process, learn and retain information. School lunches are in the midst of change across the country. We support finding ways to provide all children with healthy food.

What If Your Child Has The Brain Of A Psychopath? Could you influence their life path?

(A picture of Carol's son Josh holding Marv when we was a puppy. 

No reference to being a psychopath!)

I recently saw a very intriguing episode on AC360. Anderson Cooper's guest was James Fallon a neuroscientist who's spent his career studying psychopaths and observing their character traits. He also examines their brains through brain scans. James Fallon is the author of The Psychopath Inside: A Neuroscientist's Personal Journey into the Dark Side of the Brain.

Here's the show I watched.


Video: Many presidents had psychopathic traits?

James Fallon found out through a brain scan of his own brain that he also has the brain of a psychopath. What really got my attention is when Anderson asked him why he thought he didn't turn out to be a serial killer.

Children's Book Review: Pocket Mommy

We want to introduce to you a new creative children's book Pocket Mommy by Aila Malik & Zayan Verma. It's a very original children's book to read and use with our kids before they start preschool or kindergarten. All of us parents are aware of the stress factor that goes along with the first day of preschool or kindergarten. Aila and her husband went through this with their own son Zayan. He was having a hard time transitioning. He was nervous and worried about being away so long from mommy. Aila wanting to ease her son's fears created a pocket mommy he could carry in his pocket with him at school. Inspiration followed and Aila later turned her real life story into a learning tool. This helpful children's book is perfect for parents who want to plan ahead and ease those nerves and fears ahead of time before school begins. The valuable lesson in this delightful little book is even though children may be away from their parents they are always in each other's hearts. 

Is Abundance A Mindset?

Abundance has been showing up on my radar today. I'm seeing references all over the place. On Facebook, in my inbox and on some of my favorite blogs. When you think or say the words "abundance" or "money" how does it make you feel? 

Does it make you feel excited, sad, frustrated or neutral? Money can have a vibrational charge to it depending on how we feel about it and what our core beliefs surrounding money are. 

If money seems elusive to you. I ask you to look deep within and find your blocks and clear out the clutter. Money flows in and out of our lives. Money is energy and carries it's own vibration. When you make peace with it, the flow is more consistent. 

You might be wondering what does abundance have to do with parenting? Well, here is my thoughts on that. When we clear our blocks with money the world opens up. Expansion happens and more ways of creating, manifesting and receiving are presented to us because we are no longer blocking the flow. Opportunities arrive out of nowhere? We can go more places, see and do more things. We can provide our children with what they need. We also can help more people. Look at the difference Oprah has made. If she never worked through her money blocks she would have taken a completely different path. The ripple effect she has created will continue long after she is gone. 

We pass on our money beliefs to our children through the words we speak and by our actions.
