			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve teamed up with my friend, Whitney Ferré to offer a webinar combining our two crusades.</p>
<p>Whitney is the author of <a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com/?page_id=23" target="_blank"><em>The Artist Within,</em></a> and is currently promoting her <a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com/" target="_blank">Creatively Fit</a> program. This program assists women in creating change in their lives, by exercising their right brain and creating artwork! Getting the right brain in gear opens up a world of opportunities of change, and better aligns women with the life they desire.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m all about The LifeLine Technique, and helping people realize the infinite possibilities available to them, and removing energetic blocks keeping those possibilities out.</p>
<p>Put us together, and what do you have? A change-making <strong>powerhouse!</strong></p>
<p>I am going to do an group phone LifeLine session for those on Whitney&#8217;s next webinar call. The session will revolve around creating change in your life, and dissolving the subconscious blocks to achieving said change.</p>
<p>If you are interested in participating in the call, it is $20 and Friday, April 23 @ 12 CST. <a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com/?page_id=29" target="_blank">You can sign up at Whitney&#8217;s website</a>. (It is called the &#8220;Artist Within&#8221; Webinar).</p>
<p>Hope to &#8216;hear&#8217; you on the call! Now go paint something!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have three authors to promote, all dear friends of mine. Although, I think I might promote their work even if they weren&#8217;t my friends&#8230; because their messages are that good.</p>
<p>First of all, <strong><a href="http://www.drdarrenweissman.com" target="_blank">Dr. Darren Weissman</a></strong> (creator of The LifeLine Technique) has written a second book entitled <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401923836?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=nslifeline-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1401923836">Awakening to the Secret Code of Your Mind: Your Mind&#8217;s Journey to Inner Peace</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=nslifeline-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1401923836" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />. In this book Darren weaves amazing stories of personal transformations thanks to The LifeLine Technique with details on how to get started doing LifeLine work on yourself. It is a followup to his book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401917178?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=nslifeline-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1401917178">The Power of Infinite Love &amp; Gratitude: An Evolutionary Journey to Awakening Your Spirit</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=nslifeline-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1401917178" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.blossomingheart.com" target="_blank">Susi Roos</a> </strong>is a fellow LifeLine practitioner who has written these remarkably powerful books entitled <a href="http://www.blossomingheart.com/shop/product-info.php?pid3.html" target="_blank"><em>Rhiannon, Truth Seeker</em></a> and <a href="http://www.blossomingheart.com/shop/product-info.php?pid2.html" target="_blank"><em>Rhiannon, Truth Bearer</em></a>. Her books are so engaging because they are spiritual fiction about a young priestess-in-training. The lessons she learns include the oneness of all, non-defensiveness,  quieting the mind to hear the voice of the heart, surrender, forgiveness  and non-judgment. The questions, fears and issues with which Rhiannon  struggles area the same as you might encounter in present day life. I was deeply affected by these books.</p>
<p>Susi also has a new book coming out, entitled, <a href="http://www.blossomingheart.com/shop/product-info.php?pid1.html" target="_blank"><em>Harnessing the Power of the Mind for Healing (And the Science Behind It).</em></a> In this non-fiction book Susi teaches how your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and perceptions significantly  support or inhibit our healing capacities. Backed by research in a  variety of fields, it explains in easily understood terms how we cannot  afford to ignore our high stress levels, buried or past fears or trauma,  toxic relationships or anger. Simultaneously, it illustrates the  amazing regenerative capacities of our bodies when the power of the mind  and heart are consciously applied.</p>
<p>Lastly, I wanted to point out the work of <strong><a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com" target="_blank">Whitney Ferré</a></strong>. Whitney has launched her &#8220;Creatively Fit&#8221; program, aimed at empowering women to create change in their lives. Her vehicle for accessing that change is by making artwork and exercising the right brain. Her two books,<a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com/?page_id=23" target="_blank"> <em>The Artist Within, Your Guide to Becoming Creatively Fit</em></a> and <a href="http://www.creativelyfit.com/?page_id=23" target="_blank"><em>33 Things to Do to Raise Creative Kids</em></a> are both available on her website. Whitney also has all sorts of programs available aimed at all women who want to create change in their lives (artistic talent not required!). Stay tuned for an announcement about a collaboration between Whitney and myself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chances are there are some of you out there who have researched The LifeLine Technique and are still scratching your head going, but what IS it? And even though I&#8217;m a practitioner, I totally get it. LifeLine is tricky to describe. So here are a couple summaries, from fellow CLPs:</p>
<p><em><strong>From Pete Brandel:</strong></em><br />
 The Lifeline Technique is a quantum healing technology and philosophy that incorporates the blue print of the subconscious mind, the newest in western medicine, the power of infinite love and gratitude, and the tried and true findings of the eastern traditions. During the process of a session a client is able to create a healthier life (physically, emotionally, mentally, and in relationships) by setting intentions and harmonizing unprocessed emotion.</p>
<p><strong><em>From Kally Efros:</em></strong><br />
 The LifeLine Technique is a simple science based system that has helped thousands of people all over the globe move past pain, fear, and stressors. It is an advanced holistic system of energy medicine. The subconscious mind controls every function of the body including your heart rate, blood pressure, immunity, hormones, blood sugar, muscle tone, etc. It is also a storehouse of emotions. We use a kinesiologically based system and a flow chart to access the subconscious mind to determine which emotions are blocking the flow of energy throughout the body which can manifest itself in the body as physical pain, stress, or anxiety. We teach you about the five basics of life. Our goal is to help you achieve your full potential. The LifeLine incorporates the traditions of natural healing, the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine, Modern Science and the new frontier of energy medicine into one easily accessible system. It can be utilized by everyone.</p>
<p><strong><em>From Sue Cook:</em></strong><br />
 We take any symptom or stress you are experiencing, find your positive intention about the situation and then harmonize and reprogram every cell in your body to mirror your intention, so you can consciously attract your intention to you.</p>
<p>Crystal clear, no?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you really ever thought about the healing journey? And what it takes to become symptom free? And I&#8217;m not talking about going to the doc and taking perscription meds for the rest of your life. I&#8217;m talking about NO MORE SYMPTOMS. NO MORE LABEL (Diabetic, arthritic, etc).   Is it even possible?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.monagrayson.com/">Mona Grayson</a>, a super cool gal I&#8217;ve &#8220;met&#8221; on <a href="http://twitter.com/monagrayson">Twitter</a>, has a <a href="http://www.monagrayson.com/5-on-friday-3-lessons-from-fibromyalgia/">blog post up about her healing journey in regards to fibromyalgia</a>, and man, does she hit the nail on the head. Her post is called 5 Lessons From Fibromyalgia, and her points are so accurate. Here is what she has to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>Here are some things I’ve learned from my experiences with “Fibromyalgia.”</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Fibromyalgia is NOT incurable. </strong>When I was diagnosed with it back in 2002, (at the age of 25) the specialist I saw at the University of Miami who had been doing extensive studies on it, didn’t have much good news for me. She said, “Make friends with Advil.” Um, hello? What kind of life is that? My mom and I looked at each other and knew that we would figure out some other way to heal myself from the pain my body was going through. Advil is great and all. But I wasn’t going to be taking that for the rest of my life. No way. And I DID figure it out. And I <strong>don’t</strong> have fibromyalgia anymore. Ta-da!!</li>
<li><strong>I’ve had a lot of anger.</strong> ALL of my Fibro-related body pain was as a result of my emotional state. Especially my anger. And the anger that I cared not to acknowledge because it was too crazy and scary and upsetting. And I hesitate to say anything hokey like “Getting in touch with my anger cured me,” but in some ways it did. And because it was so instrumental in curing me, that makes it <strong>awesome</strong> and not hokey at all. Anger is a powerful thing. And because my mind thought it woud be too scary to deal with the anger, it created physical body pain to distract me from the emotional issues.</li>
<li><strong>My body is trying to help me.</strong> When it acted up and was in incredible pain, it was really just trying to protect me from things it thought would be much more uncomfortable for me. Namely painful emotions. Don’t pay attention to those yucky emotions. Just pay attention to this pain in your body instead. (Distract, Distract. Pay no attention to that thing you want so badly that I’m hiding behind my back. Eat this lollipop instead.) Also, in case you haven’t noticed, it’s much more socially acceptable to say that you’re too sore and tired to go out and do something with your friends than it is to say, “Sorry, can’t do that because I’m a raging bitch underneath all of this and I don’t have control of my emotions.” So the body pain also made it easier for me to say No to things. Which brings me to the next thing…</li>
<li><strong>Body pain gave me an excuse. And at the time, I needed one. </strong>I didn’t grow up feeling confident in saying No to other people. Mostly I said yes to everything and I wound up sacrificing myself and my happiness. Sometimes in some pretty big ways. It got so bad (my inability to say no) that I actually wound up having sex with a guy I didn’t want to have sex with…and I was severely traumatized by it and soon after that’s when all my Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms started and then stuck around for several years. I did not feel safe saying no. My body collapsed with all the symptom to try to help me stay safe, stay indoors, stay away from people, and curl up in a corner and heal and take care of myself. Ultimate excuse: my body won’t let me.</li>
<li><strong>We are “meant” to be free and clear. </strong> It’s not okay to have chronic pain in the body. Yes, sometimes that’s “what is” so it’s okay in that sense, but it’s neither normal, nor natural to have chronic pain. When there’s chronic pain, something is OFF. Outside of structural abnormalities, there’s no reason for chronic pain. Especially the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. There’s nothing structural happening with that kind of pain. That means something else is causing it.  I didn’t want to look at the mind/body connection for a whole year when I was first diagnosed. (Nothing wrong over here with my mind thank you very much!) But ultimately it was working with my mind and my emotions that healed me. That’s what did it. When you have things that hurt for long periods of time, it’s a signal that something is off. The body is trying to get back to its natural state of feeling good – and it needs our emotions to be on board with the plan.</li>
</ol>
<p>I’m now a HUGE fan of emotional wellness. Understanding myself and what I’m feeling. Understanding the beliefs that lead me to feel certain things. Sometimes I feel bad, sometimes I feel angry, sometimes I feel weird or confused. But there’s no reason to stay that way chronically. Chronic anything is a huge wake up call for me now. It’s a wake up call to look at my inner world. My emotions. My feelings. To acknowledge and love them.</p>

<p>I do not know what process Mona employed to overcome her emotions and her symptoms. But I can tell you the process she describes does sound very much like the LifeLine process. So no matter what you are working to overcome, and no matter what tools or techniques you are employing, keep the following in mind:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>If you get a scary diagnosis from a doc, and they tell you that you are stuck with it for the rest of your life, go deeper.</strong> Get a better understanding of what is going on in your body and life. If you don&#8217;t want to deal with it forever, then do something about it! Symptoms are not intended to be permanent. A diagnosis is not permanent. And for gosh sakes a perscription shouldn&#8217;t have to last a lifetime.</li>
<li><strong>Emotions are the root cause for your symptoms.</strong> Processing and releasing those emotions also releases the symptoms. Mona said it best:<br />
<blockquote><p>And I hesitate to say anything hokey like “Getting in touch with my anger cured me,” but in some ways it did. And because it was so instrumental in curing me, that makes it <strong>awesome</strong> and not hokey at all. Anger is a powerful thing. And because my mind thought it would be too scary to deal with the anger, it created physical body pain to distract me from the emotional issues.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Symptoms are sent from our subconscious, as a means to protect us.</strong> Sounds crazy, no? Again, Mona said it best:<br />
<blockquote><p>When it acted up and was in incredible pain, it was really just trying to protect me from things it thought would be much more uncomfortable for me.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, it actually works that way. Thank you, subconscious.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Discover the root cause of your symptoms.</strong> It wasn&#8217;t that she woke up one day with fibromyalgia. Following a complex series of events in her life, her subconscious kicked into protection mode, which resulted in her symptoms. We LifeLiners like to call symptoms &#8220;gifts in strange wrapping paper.&#8221; The symptoms while they did &#8220;protect&#8221; her, they also were a wake up call:  to deal with the root cause, process it, learn from it, and grow beyond it moving closer to her truth. Her truth was not a &#8220;I&#8217;m a gal with fibromyalgia.&#8221; Her truth is who she is today, a gal who has transcended fibromyalgia, and has learned from the process (and is sharing with others)!</li>
<li><strong>We are meant to be healed and whole!</strong> Since the body speaks the mind, if there is imbalance in the body, then it exists in the mind. But it isn&#8217;t permanent! You are not incurable! This time, Louise Hay says it best:<br />
<blockquote><p>When clients come to me, no matter how dire their predicament seems to be, I KNOW if they are WILLING to do the mental work of releasing and forgiving, almost anything can be healed. The word incurable, which is so frightening to so many people, really only means that the particular condition cannot be cured by outer methods and that we must GO WITHIN to effect the healing. The condition came from nothing and will go back to nothing.</p>
</blockquote>

</ol>
<p>Thank you Mona for your honest recount of your healing journey. I applaud you for shining the light of your experience for others to learn from! Infinite Love &amp; Gratitude!</p>

And that&#8217;s those miracles that they talk about every day. They&#8217;re not miracles at all, they are the natural order of things. But because they are rare, people think they are miraculous. They&#8217;re not. That&#8217;s the way it is supposed to be. You&#8217;re supposed to thrive.</p>
