Follow the Labyrinth
Labyrinth

Until recently, I've always found that my mind won't get quiet enough to meditate! It's been disconcerting when friends talk about how much they benefit from just being alone with their own mind, silently. Well, I found a new way to do it - I found a "new" meditation tool that's only 7000 years old! The labyrinth.

I read the most lovely book describing how one quietly walks a path to quiet the mind. Somehow, the walking (like taking a nature walk) works for me and I stop my mind-buzz. The book I recommend is The Magic of Labyrinths by Liz Simpson - find it at http://tinyurl.com/y8wsh2. Next, I found an outdoor labyrinth nestled in a gorgeous meadow (like the one pictured) and enjoy walking it silently, occasionally hearing a hawk cry, overhead.

You can read Liz Simpson's wonderful book and surf the link below for a labyrinth near where you live. Truly, there is a lovely resurgence of interest in this wonderful meditation tool and you can easily find more information about labyrinths on the internet.

It is a season for gift giving - you can't miss with GIRLS for the girls in your life.


Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFTHave you talked to career counselors or coaches or family counselors or... You have, right? The operative word being "talk", only. Well, this stunningly simple tool packs a wallop, when it comes to coaching. Roughly, AS you talk to your coach, you also lightly touch energy meridian areas on your face. Energy from your mind AND body get focused on your topic.

I have been learning about this gentle accupressure technique used when discussing your goals, career blockages, life stall-outs, or whatever. My friends who told me about this are so happy to have discovered it.

Dare I say you realize 5 visits for the time spent on one? That's just my informal way of trying to describe this interesting technique's effectiveness! Accupressure/massage is thousands of years old and well-known for "centering" the body's energy. So, why NOT use it to get your whole self (mind AND body) into your coaching session?

Check it out - read the testimonials! One coach using this technique is Lynne Morrell at www.lynnemorrell.com.

About Jean

As a Virtual Assistant, I partner with entrepreneurs who'd like to spend more time performing their expertise, not working on operational, administrative, or promotional tasks. That's where I fit in.

If you or someone you know would like to delegate tasks that cause "the most pain" each month, or that are neglected because of that aversion - that's where I fit in.

I invite you to contact me with questions, suggestions for my newsletter, names of overly busy people who'd like to be referred to me, or just to say 'hi'. Please email me - or click my web site link. Be Well!
