Let Go…
Are you one those people that is constantly searching for something?
Waiting to be awakened, to understand, to achieve the next goal? To find Success?
Acknowledging What IS…
It’s human nature to be curious and wondering about the world outside of you. You are always in a creative process of building your own perceptions about life. But did you know that it is possible that your adhering beliefs on a mind level can separate you from what is actually here and now?
The Gem to Quality Life is actually in the present …
And yes…It is possible to reconnect your consciousness to Source by allowing God to shine.
If you take the time to fully be mindful in the moment, you can actually hear the Light inside of you. As your listening deepens, You’ll remember that all you ever wanted was right there all along. Listen and Prayer can open up our world into a much bigger universe.
We are all inter-connected. Everything inside and outside of us. Tune in to the Truth.
Take a chance and Receive Grace.
Remember, as Dorothy once said, ” there is no place like Home:)”
Let Go and Let God be Known, however you are able to discover…

Many clients have a hard time understanding Sciatic Pain.
What they do know is that they are experiencing symptoms like: possible lower back pain, pain that shoots down one side of the leg- possibly all the way to the foot, aggravated pain when standing or sitting, and possible nerve effects such as numbness or tingling.
Often this pain is the result of a disk problem. So the best thing to do when pain continues is to see your physician and find out the “root” issue so to speak. Hopefully, an integrative doctor will send you to a spine specialist, and have some referrals for some excellent massage therapists and bodyworkers in your local area. An integrative approach will often be more helpful because each individual is organized uniquely and it often takes an individualized plan to help restore corrective posture and movement to bring health back to the lower lumbars and sacral area.
An Integrative Approach
What I have found helpful with the combinations available to clients is a unique plan to practice movement such as Feldenkrais or Continuum, checking in with an experienced chiropractor, and a focus on correcting posture through Structural Integration and Craniosacral. Because the fascia contains all the cells, tissue, organs and living materials in the body, it is responsible for helping to keep a body nourished and well dialoguing for health and wellness. When the connective tissue fascia adheres, dehydrates, and stiffens, fluids and other nutrients can’t reach their destination. The flow of life diminishes in that area. People end up with bulging and herniated disks from wear and tear or imbalances that were not recognized and treated earlier.
Take charge of your self care plan. Sciatic Pain is not something to take lightly. It is possible to resolve by itself through hot/cold treatments, but is likely to show up again without making some real change in the body. Sharon Hartnett LMT has seen some very positive changes where people shift into a pain free life with myofascial massage and bodywork.

Whatever unhappiness rests in your life may be because you have forgotten the Truth of your Soul.
It’s so easy to get caught up in everything you believe. The outside world can be so enticing and easy to get lost in.
We are taught from an early age that this is this and that is that. We identify with objects and people so that our mind takes precedence over our sacred human hearts. We forget that love is what leads the Universe rather than our thinking.
Finding Your Truth
So how do you get in touch with your Authentic Soul, the reason of your Being?
7 ideas to help you Change your Life:
- Question Your Thinking… When you have lost your joy of life, your thinking is usually out of alignment with truth. You’ll find the truth when you truly pay attention.
- Listen to the Kindness of your Heart. So often- our minds are the master of our lives. What if we turned that around?
- Mindfulness: Slowing down into the Moment to explore your sensory and emotional relationships. When we take the time to BE with reality, it’s easier to re-discover the joy and grace that has been there all along.
- Recognize your Inner Critic. How many times have the old beliefs that you heard growing up start repeating themselves in your head? Look now with fresh eyes and a fresh outlook.
- Invite Life to BE your teacher rather than trying to control life. There is no such thing as control so best to let go of that concept.
- Try positive statements while looking in the mirror that reflect your core qualities. So often people get the wrong message about who they are. Try out life affirmations and let them drop into your consciousness with awareness. For example, say, “I am beautiful”. And watch the negativity melt away as you stay firm in your intention to know the truth rather than the negative banter in your head.
- Ask for help. So many people have been told that it is important to do it alone. Well, that simply is not the truth. While I am not advocating becoming overly attached with boundary issues, I am suggesting that when you do feel limited, to explore outside the box. This is done by asking for guidance or having someone else lead you into a more wide spiritual realm of seeing things. We are not meant to be alone.
The Truth of Your Soul is that you are love. When all illusion is dropped, we will all hold hands as individuals living in harmony, but also being in peace simply because we know we are all part of the Creative Process of Being One in Unity.
The World of Duality is a challenging way to live. But by exploring life with openness and curiosity, one is able to raise the consciousness of darkness and expand all of life into the Light.
