Is there something you need to change but haven’t quite been able to muster the determination? Or maybe it’s something you know you need to do better at but have lost the drive to accomplish it? In nature the cycle repeats itself over and over again. Each year we enjoy the influx of birds feeding on the nectar of the tender blossoms. The park is over run with photographers! The beauty and simplicity is at its finest! Everyone seeks that perfect shot to capture the story behind the picture… #timetochange

Wonderful options are available!

This is the best time of year to make adjustments in your energy systems to reflect the change you desire! It’s amazing how these changes come into play. Here’s a testimonial from a client that you may be able to relate to…

“I would like to take the opportunity to leave a little feedback if I may. If you or anyone you know is considering energy work and maybe doesn’t quite know rather or not to take the plunge, may I be so kind as to be the one to push you off your place of insecurity? I too have had my doubts, fears, and thoughts that have taken me to a place of numbness of decision. You know, that place of being lost in your ability to make a decision? I know you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, it’s time to do something about it….now! I had my first session with Loretta this morning. It was wonderful! It didn’t hurt, it wasn’t weird, and best of all I feel better than I could have even hoped for. Loretta made me feel at ease right from the start. She took the time to explain everything and anything. I never wondered if I had made the wrong choice even a little. Loretta truly cared for me and my concerns. She walked me through the things that she worked on and helped me to fix them. I truly believe her to be the “real” deal. I will definitely be back for more and I hope that you will finally give yourself the gift that you deserve! Don’t you think it’s time to feel better?”

Chakra Evaluation

When is it time for a session?

chakrasI’m often asked by clients, “When should I have another session?” This is a personal choice. Here are some thoughts on just one of the energy systems, the Chakras… If you answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions, and cannot manage to switch that answer to a ‘no’, it is a strong indication that it may be time for a session…

  • I tend to render my power to others and put myself second.
  • I’m apprehensive around powerful people. I’ve experienced people misusing their power, I don’t want to be like them!
  • I feel more guilty than blessed.
  • I don’t ever want anyone to see me express my true emotions.
  • It’s difficult for me to be alone. I feel so lonely!
  • The economy is scary! What money I have, I save for fear of losing it!
  • It’s difficult for me to forgive those who have wronged me.
  • I have difficulty looking at myself in the mirror unless I have to brush my hair or floss my teeth.
  • I cannot express my true feelings, my thoughts are not as important as other’s thoughts.
  • It’s difficult to express my ideas clearly… people don’t really hear me anyway.
  • My life is set in place, I see no change ever occurring for the better.
  • I feel lost and alone.
  • I prefer to be single, relationships are too complicated.
  • I feel stuck, as if I’m repeating the same pattern over and over again.
  • People just don’t like or appreciate me, I feel uncomfortable at parties.
  • People judge me if they see my true authentic self.

Correcting these false assumptions is easily accomplished with energy sessions. It’s amazing what can be accomplished in just one 50 minute session.

Here’s what satisfied clients have said:

“It’s amazing to me that I no longer feel nervous in a group of people! I had struggled with that all my life!”

“I had that residual pain for months, and it’s just gone! What did you do??!!”

“My friends and neighbors have been asking if I colored my hair or got a hair cut. They notice something different about me but can’t put their finger on it… then I tell them how great I feel since having a session with you!”

You too, can have these wonderful results!

The Chakras

So much to say!!!

There is so much to be said about this energy system! Let’s begin by saying that when in a session with a client, so much is accomplished simply by focusing in this energy system!!! There is so much to cover that this little blog post just can’t touch on everything, so please forgive me for being brief. It’s important that we address this amazing energy system!

The word chakra translates from the Sanskrit as disk, vortex or wheel. Each chakra is a concentrated center or swirling disk of energy that is positioned at one of 7 points. Beginning at the base of the spine with the Root Chakra continuing up the body to the crown of the head and the Crown Chakra, each Chakra has significance in the body and life of the individual.

The Chakras – Basically, and very briefly…

  • Chakra 1 is the Root Chakra; Survival: “Tribal Power – All is one” This chakra is located at the base of the spine. If there is an issue in the legs, bones or even the immune system, for example, this chakra requires attention.
  • Chakra 2, located beneath the naval, pertains to creativity and partnership: “Honor One Another”. For example the strength in the Sacral Chakra is the ability to survive financially and physically. Should there be an issue in the pelvic region or the lower back area, attention should be given to balancing the second chakra.
  • Chakra 3, the Solar Plexus addresses identity and personal power: “Honor Oneself”. Located between the navel and chest, I like to refer to this chakra as the one where you feel “gut” reactions. Should this chakra be out of balance, you may experience problems in the bladder, kidney, pancreas, upper intestines or even the stomach.
  • Chakra 4, your Heart Chakra. Though this chakra is located over the heart, and even referred to as the Heart Chakra, it also affects the lungs, ribs, breasts, diaphragm, thymus gland and even the shoulders and arms. When grief is experienced, this is the chakra most affected.
  • Chakra 5, the Throat Chakra is located at the throat but also includes the mouth, teeth and gums. When this chakra is out of alignment, you may feel unheard or unable to express yourself in certain situations.
  • Chakra 6 is the Brow Chakra and is also referred to as the Third Eye as it is located at the forehead. Comprehension and power of the mind; “Seeking Only the Truth” is the focus in this chakra. The brain and nervous system are affected by the energies of this chakra, as well as the ears, nose and glands.
  • Chakra 7, the Crown Chakra is located at the top or crown of the head. Considered to be the spiritual connector, “Trust in the Divine” is the focus. The body systems affected by this chakra are the skin, muscular system and skeletal system. This chakra pertains to your individual belief system and trusting in that.

Is it no wonder many energy healing methods focus only on the chakras? Often times, clients truly feel the shift when the chakras are balanced, and now you can understand why that is so! This knowledge has changed the lives of many of my clients as well as my own life. And though it seems magical or voodoo, it isn’t. And it even works when you’re skeptical! I was completely skeptical myself, and was amazed at the changes I’ve witnessed!

A few words from Loretta…

DSC_0004

I just love the peace and calm I feel when my energy systems are balanced. I also love being able to perform this work with so many of you! I hope you have enjoyed the 2nd in a series focus on the Energy Systems of the body. I hope you’ll come back for the next focus on the Energetic Grids and Meridians!

Laughter Therapy: after all it is the best medicine!

Carolyn Cooper had taught me how to live a new life with the use of SimplyHealed™. I love her philosophies, too… Here’s what she has to say about Laughter

“A clown is like an aspirin, only he works twice as fast.” (Groucho Marx)

We’ve all been there. Maybe sitting in a restaurant, an office waiting room, or shopping at the grocery store and you hear someone laughing heartily or uncontrollably giggling. It’s hard to not smile and maybe even (depending on how great the laugh is) begin giggling yourself. Laughter is contagious–just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in on the fun. Laughter is so good for us in so many ways…..

Balances your Energy Systems

Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss. It literally raises your energetic vibration, so not only do you feel better, it radiates to everyone else around you. More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Often during an energy clearing session clients want to work on having more clarity and opening up to more creativity. I like to pose the question, “How many times this week have you had a really good laugh?” Sometimes until we talk about it, they don’t get the connection, but laughter can have a huge effect on your creative processes. It opens your mind and heart and strengthens your aura!

Increases Joy in Relationships

When we laugh with one another, a positive bond is created. This bond acts as a strong buffer against stress, disagreements, and disappointment. Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting. Humor is a powerful and effective way to heal resentments and hurts and it unites people during difficult times. Humor and playful communication strengthen our relationships by triggering positive feelings and fostering emotional connection. I always love to see a couple that has been together for years, and they still laugh at each other’s semi-humorous comments. That speaks volumes about their relationship. Mutual laughter and play are an essential component of strong, healthy relationships. By making a conscious effort to incorporate more humor and play into your daily interactions, you can improve the quality of your love relationships– as well as your connections with co-workers, family members, and friends.

Benefits your Physical Health

In addition, laughter triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Did you know a good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after? Laughter also decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease. It triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. Laughter protects the heart by improving the function of blood vessels and increasing blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
The focus on the benefits of laughter really began with Norman Cousin’s memoir, Anatomy of an Illness. Cousins, who was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a painful spine condition believed that he could, cure himself, even against all the specialists’ prognoses. He used humor as both a painkiller and a substitute for chemical therapy. He found that by watching a lot of comedies, like Marx Brothers films and episodes of Candid Camera, he was, in fact able to heal. He said that ten minutes of laughter allowed him two hours of pain-free sleep.

Emotionally

Humor helps you be more spontaneous by getting you out of your head and away from your troubles. It helps you let go of defensiveness, by helping you forget judgments, criticisms, and doubts. Laughter also helps to release unhealthy inhibitions. It brings you to a place where you can set aside your fear of holding back.

Developing a sense of humor about yourself opens you up to taking more risks that will move you forward in all aspects of your life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laughter is a natural part of life that is innate and inborn. Infants begin smiling during the first weeks of life and laugh out loud within months of being born. Sometimes we as adults get so busy with the ‘important’ things on our to do list, we neglect the levity that is so much needed in our lives. So how do we add more light and laughter into our lives? Even if you did not grow up in a household where laughter was a common sound, or if you did and you’ve forgotten how important that is, you can learn to laugh at any stage of life.

Here are some ways to start:

  • Smile. Smiling is the beginning of laughter. Like laughter, it’s contagious. Pioneers in “laugh therapy” find it’s possible to laugh without even experiencing a funny event. The same holds for smiling. When you look at someone or see something even mildly pleasing, practice smiling.
  • Count your blessings. Literally make a list. The simple act of considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter.
  • When in a state of sadness, we have further to travel to get to humor and laughter
  • When you hear laughter, move toward it. Sometimes humor and laughter are private, a shared joke among a small group, but usually not. More often, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it. When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”
  • Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily-both at themselves and at life’s absurdities-and who routinely find the humor in everyday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious.
  • Bring humor into conversations. Ask people, “What’s the funniest thing that happened to you today? This week? In your life?”

Anyone can join the laughter movement. All it takes is a willingness to see the humor in things. Now of course you understand I’m talking about good, wholesome humor. Not sarcasm that is funny to only some and hurtful to others. There’s more than enough negativity in our world. We want to be able to be optimistic; laugh when we have a choice of being annoyed or seeing humor in our daily situations. All we have to do is allow ourselves to relax, lighten up and look for opportunities to lift our spirit and the spirits of those around us. Laughter is feeling deeply which allows us to live fully.

Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. Here are a couple of great quotes from men who faced grim circumstances and still understood laughter’s power to heal, renew and take the edge off of surmounting problems.

“Gentlemen, why don’t you laugh? With the fearful strain that is upon me day and night, if I did not laugh I should die, and you need this medicine as much as I do.” Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War

I would never have made it if I could not have laughed. Laughing lifted me momentarily . . . out of this horrible situation, just enough to make it livable . . . survivable.” Victor Frankl, survived Nazi concentration camp

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easily accessible!

You ARE Enough! You are AMAZING!

How would it be if…

  • You felt at ease and confident among your peers?
  • You knew deep down inside that you have value…
  • You truly believed you fit in and have a purpose in society!
  • Being right or wrong in a dispute no longer mattered?
  • You were attracting the perfect clients for your business?

Have you ever wondered…

when or if you would ever have a healthy relationship with your sibling or parent?

Why do people react to me negatively? We all wonder if we are enough.

Why do people react to me negatively? We all wonder if we are enough.

These are the questions most of us have pondered at various times in our life. Maybe you have wondered if you would ever be happy at work, or would you ever find that lasting relationship.

As Energetic blocks are cleared, AMAZING things happen!

That is how energy healing works. When negative emotions or experiences are neutralized, change is eminent and occurs naturally. Confidence is increased or restored. Peace and joy flourishes! The simple act of re-aligning your Chakras works miracles. Add in balancing all the other energy systems and clear out all generational DNA negativity and you have miraculous success in all areas – personal and business! The real kicker is those emotions do not need to be vocalized like in traditional talk therapy. The techniques of SimplyHealed™ effectively bring the change needed for success.

We are creatures of habit…

Our reactions to stimuli or situations are predictable – that is until we have cleared the energetic clutter of negative emotions. We then become free of those negative reactions that build barriers to having successful, productive or loving relationships in all areas of our life!

A Thought From Loretta…

It’s not unusual after a session, for clients to contact me to report they spoke with an estranged loved one, or had a positive conversation with someone they had struggled with in the past. These DSC_0004encounters open the lines of communication and initiate the change required to create a rewarding relationship. When blocks are present – either our own, or inherited from our ancestors, these positive encounters occur less often without the assistance of a clean, clear energy system.
