A time for healing while sheltering at home By now I know you understand that I read a lot of books, articles, and follow some social media.

Meditating Last May I listened to a lecture on meditation by Nina Fry-Kizler. It was one of the free Friday lectures given by the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS).

Not all meditation involves sitting quietly with your eyes closed. I found the Movement Meditation interesting and invigorating. Nina’s talk got me thinking about meditation in… Read more »
Remote Healing Healing Transformation’s practice has changed quite a lot since the start of the pandemic.

We work the same way during remote healing as we do when clients come into the office. We use our hands to guide energy to an area of dis-ease or to… Read more »

If you’re like me, this year’s passing comes somewhat of a relief. I am grateful for having survived. Fall Colours As I write this month’s message to you, our leaves here in Toronto continue their spectacular show. The red leaves have mostly dropped, and the yellow leaves shine in their… Read more »

I am sure you have heard people talk about their health and one of their personal COVID-19 struggles has been weight gain. Those of you who subscribe to my newsletter heard me lament about it in April talking about my book review, The Personalized Diet. More time on the couch and easy access to the kitchen seems to be encouraging weight gain on our bodies while we shelter at home. Many of us also tend to eat more sugar than… Read more »
