R ecently while driving my 9-year-old and her friend to the pool, they played a game in the back seat to see who would laugh first. Whoever withheld laughter the longest, won the game. So hard was it for them NOT to laugh, it was indeed a challenge. One of them ultimately said to the other, "you've got a laughing problem." This all made me laugh and think of Lynn Shaw's laugh therapy course, which goes through great lengths to help us adults re-discover laughter and use it for self-healing.
Some Researchers believe children laugh 500 times daily while us adults laugh only 15 times daily. Find Lynn's Laughter Blip below for tips on re-connecting with your laughter.
Also in this issue, we are pleased to launch a new course by Reiki Master Teacher Maggie Wahls entitled
"
Reiki for Healing: Level II".
And check out our latest flash show with uplifting reggae music entitled
"
Summer Love Consciousness"
(details below). We hope you are able to embrace some summer pleasures this month - wherever you are.
Peacefully Yours,
June Cook

Here's What You're Saying About our Courses...
"The course has helped my awareness open up, by reviewing the 'old' Lord's Prayer of my youth in a 'new' light and with a 'new' life. It is a fresh breath of air for me."
~ Gilbert B. Smith, Louisiana (
Aramaic Lord's Prayer course)
---<>----------------------------------------<>---
"Deborah Redfern's
online course about Feng Shui and color
has many ways for us to experiment with color in the different aspects of life. I have been amazed at what I have discovered about myself and color what I wasn't aware of before… I highly recommend this course even if you practice Feng Shui already. It is packed with information, but the exercises are what brought me the most insight. It is also a lot of fun. Thank you, Debbie, for this wonderful experience."
~ Liz Rowell of Rhode Island (
Feng Shui & Color course)

"This course was delivered in a very caring tone and you are left feeling as if you've gotten some very useful advice from a good friend. I found the creative visualisation exercises quite useful and the online learning tools added to the quality of the course."

Dear Marty ~ A Letter of Thanks by Barbara Davis
|
I want to express my gratitude to you personally for the comfort and strength you have given me, and others like myself who have lost special companion animals. My cat of eleven and a half years, Taz, died of kidney disease a little over two months ago… In the days immediately following his death, as I searched for comfort from my grief and pain, I came across your website and read the "Lesson #1 - Pet Loss: An Introduction" to your course
"A Different Grief: Coping with Pet Loss"
I can't express how much it helped me to find comfort, strength, kinship, and hope at that time. It was like...

This letter of thanks was sent to Marty Tousley, instructor of "The First Year of Grief: Help for the Journey" and "A Different Grief: Coping with Pet Loss."

A Green Note ~ Greening Your Home
By Judy Morgan, Environmentalist
|
Weatherize your home so that you require as little heat and air conditioning as possible. In addition, you can landscape your homes so that deciduous trees on the south side block the summer sun, while allowing light through in the winter, and evergreen trees on the north side provide a winter windbreak, as well as additional shade in the summer. The more trees the better, since trees absorb the carbon dioxide emitted when we burn fossil fuels.

Healing the Environment: Healing the Planet Starts at Home.

A Coping Blurb from Art
By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist and Brain Tumor Survivor
|
As I gaze at the orange tea roses climbing to who knows where, I visualize my disability in a different light. My ability to enjoy the beauty of my flowers far outweighs my thoughts of discomfort. Those moments of pleasure predict new pleasures. I am reminded that disability too is a momentary phase.
Arthur Soissons-Segal lives in California is the instructor of the course

Closing Thoughts
Laughing Song
When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the air does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green hill laughs with the noise of it;
When the meadows laugh with lively green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene,
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, Ha, He!"
When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread,
Come live and be merry, and join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of "Ha, Ha, He!"
~ William Blake (1757-1827), English poet
This Month's Holistic Prayer

May I be happy, with only good thoughts and experiences
May you all be healed of problems and pain
May you all forgive yourself and find peace
May you all be able to live from your heart
May you all be happy and give happiness to others
~ Buddhist Prayer
