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). Fry-Kizler talked about how not all types of meditation suit all people. She walked us through three types of meditation – mindfulness, focused, and movement. 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 »

One, Two, Three, or Four sessions a week; You Choose
Dear friends, Through the years, clients have provided feedback on how I schedule our Bioenergy Therapy Clinics and the four, one-on-one therapy sessions. Instead of consecutive sessions, clients have asked for me to spread out the days that we meet. In doing so, I found that frequency works just as well as consecutive.

She lived in what was then called “the Transvaal,” a former province just north of the Vaal River in South Africa. She had a country store in a forestry reserve near the town of Sabie.
