February 2008, Issue 62 ~ Singing and Speaking Your Truth

Ken and I attended "Rain: The Beatles Experience" in Philadelphia in January. As we relaxed into the experience, the audience of aging baby boomers took great delight in singing the all too familiar songs. We sat by a woman who could barely walk to and from her seat but she stood up and danced as best she could during several songs. But the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when the entire audience of about 2,500 stood up and sang "Hey Jude" together during the encore. Singing is one way to open the throat chakra - allowing us to speak our truth.

See which article, course, or web tool below might support you in finding and claiming your truth, your song this month.

Breathe,

Tapping the Inner Miracle Maker by Claiming Our Truth By Laurie E. Smith As I stood on the sidewalk with my son in my arms, the real estate agent chatted on and on about why the house we had just seen was perfect for us. I tried to be polite but felt my body growing tense. Many thoughts were going through my mind. "My son needs a nap...I don't have time for this right now." And perhaps the most prominent: "I hate this house!" At the time, however, I just stood quietly, listening, my inner truth grumbling underneath my calm (I think!) exterior. Each of us, at one time or another, has buried his or her inner truth... Read on. Laurie E. Smith is the creator and instructor of the course Miracles: Creating Your Magical Life with Energy and Intuition.

Understanding Waking Life through Your Nightly Dream Symbols By Laura V. Hyde (Excerpt from Lesson 17) Would you agree that when you're dreaming, it feels very real?

After Disability: The Role of Family Caregivers (((audio))) By Arthur Soissons-Segal, Ph.D. ~ Therapist and brain tumor survivor (Excerpt from Lesson 5)

We are part of a social system that influences our every move. Your primary social system is your family, the people with whom you live… Your disaster, your disability sets up a new reality, which conflicts with much of the system's teachings. The disability destroys and/or alters their expectations and tests the strength of the bonds that hold the systems together. You want to reconnect. You ask, "How." You and the family members are confused and rightly so. Read on and listen to recent NRP show on Caregiving. Arthur Soissons-Segal is the instructor of the course The Joy Of Coping: Overcoming The Stress of Dis-ease. by Arthur Soissons-Segal.

Grief Observed: Using Movies to Move through Grief by Marty Tousley, Bereavement Counselor Healthy grieving requires that we acknowledge, experience and express the pain of our loss. For many of us, this is the hardest part of grief work, and we may prefer to put it off or avoid it all together. Sometimes we need help to get started, both in getting in touch with the pain and in finding the relief that comes from having a good cry. Watching a sad movie can be a simple but very effective way to put us in touch with our feelings and help release the pent-up emotions of grief. In this spirit, this list of movies for those in mourning is offered... Printable Movie List
