Welcome to May 2020. We are still under social distancing guidelines in Southern Ontario, so I wish to update you on the services still available with Inside Out.

Happy 2018 to all…a fulfillment of my intention words for last year led me to book a spiritual reiki trip to Japan in November. It was there that my 2018 Intention words were inspired. The Trip of a Lifetime Yes – a trip of a lifetime opportunity arrived in my inbox early in 2017. Coincidence […]
I was at my chiropractor’s office where I really enjoy reading a magazine they distribute called “Pathways to Family Wellness”, and this perfect article was in the current issue. So – I am going to interrupt the planned part 2 of my last blog and insert this timely article. Please watch for the part 2 to Heart Intelligence for next time. Here is the first section of the article followed by a link to read the full article if you are interested.
The steering wheel can represent the Spiritual – the true driver! If any wheel is flat, the ride is affected. We can all handle being off balance for short periods of time before the body gives us stronger and stronger signals to pay attention to before a breakdown will occur.
For me – I want to be at peak performance to live my life every day. Together with my Dream Team, I have created a vision statement and business plan that incorporates strategies for all four wheels. The first 3 are quite straight forward so I thought I would share with you my strategies for the 4th wheel entitled Stress Management.
It didn’t work when I had to answer for myself, to know what my opinion was and risk that it was different from everyone else. It began to get confusing as an adult when my opinions were challenged. How could I discover and speak my truth and still keep the peace? I felt lost and empty. Of course that was the beginning of my awakening journey. I learned that my attempt to keep everyone else happy, was not really working for my highest good. I was paying a price for it. I also learned that going along with others when I didn’t necessarily agree 100% was also not serving them in their highest interest.
What I have noticed in my practice is that once my male clients realize the benefit of making regular appointments, they commit fully. The next session is booked before leaving the office and they do not have to put it on the “to do” list. My female clients on the other hand tend to call when they are in crisis! I just “have to see you” is the call I will get. The build up of stress in their lives is causing more challenge than they can ignore and it’s time to come back into balance. We get to choose how to support ourselves. My experience both personally and with my clients is that many women still have a pattern of putting themselves last. I can handle IT – whatever IT is! We pay a price for this choice and it’s not typically a monetary price at first! It’s a quality of life price.
As we discussed the relationship of our physical, mental, emotional, and energetic or spiritual parts of our being with what we were experiencing in our current lives, a pathway began to open up for me. At that time I used to get severe headaches and also was prone to cold sores. As I received reiki treatments that weekend, the emotions that surfaced in my body when hands were placed on my head, neck and shoulders were very surprising. I was storing all my emotions inside believing that I had to be strong to deal the with challenges of being a mom of 3 young boys, working full time which included travel and balancing the responsibilities of a house and marriage.
