Colors of Energy – The unexpected beginnings of my adventure

Brent Smith

When I start a conversation about ‘energy healing’ with friends, I have a hard time explaining what energy is. I only know my story about how I got introduced to energy work and what it means to me today. I was 5 years into my profession of Air Traffic Control in the California Bay Area. It is challenging work that takes complete concentration. After a full shift of work, it is very difficult to ‘come down’ from the intense day. I tried to relax and de-stress many different ways, some more destructive than others. There came a time when I realized I needed to do something about my stress and depression in a healthy and productive way. I felt fortunate because as an Air Traffic Controller, I was not able…

Energy flows where your attention goes.

Koichi Naruishi

Energetic Grounding- It can feel sooooo good! Who needs drugs when you can activate your own chemical stores your body? Your hands can be a powerful guide in directing your awareness THROUGH and IN your body. So as you allow your hands to guide your attention through the inside of your body, you are using your brain in a different way. Your focused awareness will guide the “energy” or chi downward through the different centers. I got to learn this from different teachers from different traditions for different purposes. Some were martial some were for healing. And yes intention matters. Especially in the beginning. Using body and arm movements can be great for learning how to block a kick, for example, for external martial arts. However, if you are starting…

Coherence of Heart and Mind

Anne Smith

Why Coherence of Heart and Mind is your Ally: One heart, one mind Harmony in our mind, emotions and body is the foundation of great physical and emotional health and general feelings of well-being and joy. We love watching children for their joyful and exuberant nature! The experience of joy and exuberance is not just reserved to children who are not yet responsible for paying the bills. As adults we deserve to reclaim exuberance, peace and joy as the energies from which our lives unfold. When we feel peace and joy, we can get in touch with who we really are. We feel compelled to share what we came here to experience and express. We enrich the world with our contribution! https://youtu.be/3bnZAiQj3c8 Koichi, Anne, Brent and You! How to shift…

The Transforming Power of Being Me!

Guest Posts

I just logged off. Somehow I felt like I was in another dimension, and for some reason I didn’t want to leave that place... and that feeling, because the outside world is now having a very difficult time. But what a gift I had to see my friends Brent and Anne again and to meet this enlightened person named Kiochi. As we were talking, one question arose. How can we deal with frustration and move to the next healing step? Definitely that’s my story. Fortunately, Kiochi led us to this amazing experience to understand that feeling, and that being here and now is necessary, as much as understanding the amount of possibilities we do have to overcome fear, frustration and pain. As he led us in the breathing exercise, I…

How Can I Really Be Grateful During All This?!?

Koichi Naruishi

During this outbreak of Covid, sheltering in place, people losing their jobs, people losing their life over the color of their skin, there is a lots of reasons to be upset and horrified. Does it cause you to lose sleep? Be on edge with your family or people you are rooming with? Feel resigned? “How can I authentically experience gratitude in times like this?” Well you can tell yourself you are grateful, but if it’s just words you are just faking it. It’s fake news. And it’s actually okay to be where you are at. Before getting on with it and getting grateful, what about getting present first. Get with what IS. That doesn’t mean stay in it. What we resist persists. If you’ve numbed yourself it will come back…

Safe Harbour – The safe place I’m looking to experience more often.

Brent Smith

It will ALL fall apart and it’s ALL up to me. As I was taking a walk this morning, thoughts and to-do lists running through my head. I felt as if it was all up to me. If I didn’t pick up the pace and put everything in line, everything will go to shit, and once again, everyone will think I’m a failure. This might sound dramatic and over exaggerated, but it’s true, this is how I have lived the last 41 years of my life. Living under the impression that my family, work and friends will all be ruined if I don't live my life with total perfection. I don’t have the time to be a kid anymore. I don’t have time to be creative. I don’t have time…
