The secret to getting things done is taking a few breaks.

Oftentimes when people have busy schedules it is difficult to find any down time.  Sometimes it is your boss who won’t give you any break time.  Even many self-employed professionals have very demanding careers that can seem to take the entire day with no room for any play!  If you are one of those people who are pushing it to the limit, consider the importance of taking Me-Breaks to not only improve your overall health and well being, but also to be more productive!

A Me Break is a short 15-minute period where you relax doing something for yourself.  I created Me-Breaks for my clients so that they could get more things done and feel less tired.  You can find more information about the importance of taking your breaks, as well as an “ahhh Me-Break CD,” at my other site Yes I Can With A Plan!.

A good Me-Break is taking a walk in the woods.  If you don’t have the woods nearby where you live, consider a nice quiet walk in the neighborhood.   And of course Me-Breaks are wonderful indoors where you might do a meditation or just simply take a nap!  If you are cooped up at the office a nice short stroll to a quiet area can be easy to fit in without anyone noticing.  Remember we are only talking 15 minutes!  And Me-breaks are not lunch breaks.  You need Me-Breaks as well as meal breaks too.

For me-breaks to be effective they have to be devoid of work.  Even though booking a hotel reservation during a Me-Break is about your personal time, this is still a chore.  You need a relaxing few moments to be yourself and regain your composure.  And once you have had a period to relax, you are more productive during subsequent periods of work.  So don’t forget to tell your boss someday that the most important ingredient to productivity is a good ole’ fashioned break.

Getting Answers to Life is Easy… through your Dreams!

It’s no secret that dreams hold clues to your super-consciousness and connection to the rest of the universe.  Dreams are powerful visions that can help people understand their lives.  All one has to do to harness this ability is to be more observant; and as a healer I can help people get focused.

There are well known dream analysts throughout history, including famous psychoanalysts  Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, who have helped numerous patients come to terms with fears, anxieties and phobias through dream analysis.  But not only can you see your problems in your nighttime visions, but I can also help you spot opportunities and success.

Through dreams, you may also be introduced to your secret wishes… and methods to explore and bring your desires into reality.  All one needs is special guidance to recognize what a person is seeing.  As a trained therapist, I can help anyone jump start their life through their dreams.  I have helped numerous clients achieve a deep core of healing.

However, due to stress, trauma, illness, inability to focus, you may not be able to dream, or remember anything about your dreams.  Nature allows everyone the ability to dream; and with special training anyone can be a more disciplined nighttime dreamer!

I took a class on lucid dreaming where some students absolutely were not able to follow the path of lucid dreaming.  They confessed that they don’t dream and they were hoping the class would help the dream so they could connect with their subconscious and super-consciousness.

Upon hearing this, I offered ColorPuncture, a healing modality from Germany that combines ancient knowledge with modern technology.  It’s extremely powerful, non-intrusive, space age healing modality. ColorPuncture teaches that dreams are essential in getting in touch with one’s program ie – why you’re here, what is your path, where are you on your path and if you’ve gone astray, how to get back on your path.

Over the course of a four month period working with the individuals from class and a few new participants who were just curious, we began having a lot of fun discussing their new connection with themselves through their dreams.  The stories that we can tap into each night are as good as any fine book or Hollywood movie.

Personally, when I’m working on a specific task, I will state out loud that I would like help with getting answers to this task as I’m laying down to sleep for the evening.  I have learned to ALWAYS keep paper and a pen near my bed to jot down notes about my dreams as I wake up.  And, wow, do I ever get the answers!  It’s amazing.

Through my dreams, I’ve received answers about my landscaping, marketing, my health, my love life… you name it.  It’s so simple… and so amazing.

Think for Yourself!

Many of my clients ask me how some people can be successful and others can’t seem to get anything right.  Think about what it is like to be confused.  Confusion happens when the confused gives up control and allows chaos to ensue.  When a person has grounded themselves they take personal responsibility for their own thoughts and actions.  Once YOU are in control you now take the helm of your own destiny.   Now you can’t blame anybody but yourself for your success or failure.  Why leave it up to the Universe when I can think for myself!  Remember, you have universal power right inside of you, why would you not access this library?

Just getting inside yourself daily is the secret to meditation.

Greetings,

So many spiritual masters claim that healing begins when we take responsibility for all our thoughts and emotions and learn how to better manage our minds.   No matter what we are pursuing in our own individual spirituality, we are told time and time again control happens when we learn the importance of meditation.  At times it seems almost mystical and afar.   But is it really that complicated to learn how to meditate?  How do people know if they are meditating correctly or even at all?  Is meditation even right for me?

In my studies as a therapist I have noticed that meditation is a natural function that all people do whether we recognize it or not!  Learning anything is taking the time throughout the day to think about things that pertain to a particular challenge  or topic of understanding.  To meditate effectually is really just to become a better time manager and take the time to spend each day thinking about something toward a greater awareness or attention.   Some people like to take nature walks to quietly think things over while enjoying the great outdoors.  For others meditation can occur while they are driving a car along a familiar route while listening to music.  Of course we are all familiar with the lotus seating position of meditation.  I suggest that meditation even happens while working out.  Anytime a person is engaged in personal introspection, he or she is meditating.

And the great benefit of meditation are personal growth and increased understanding, giving people who meditate an edge over others who are unprepared.  Thus by meditating we make progress over our intelligence, relationships, happiness, understanding, love, etc., by having controlled times throughout the day to quietly mull things over for ourselves.   Even if your focus is to not concentrate on outside thoughts and relax your mind by staring at a candle.  Meditations are as unique as the people doing them.

Surprised to hear how simple and easy it is to be meditating; and the idea we are doing it already?  The trick is to recognize when we are doing it, or what works for us, and do it throughout your day.  This is the focused attention that is meditation that most spiritual masters talk about.  There is no special qualification to be meditating — just a willingness to further focus your intentions along a specific line of thought.

During my practice at “Center For the Self” in Sedona I have helped many clients achieve lasting success by helping them realize their power within to take charge and effectively accomplish healing meditations.  And many times healing the body naturally, without unnecessary drugs and medication, right over the phone.   I go inside my mind to find ways to combine our energies together to accomplish a healing vibration.  And by using the art of ColorPuncture I am able to focus my attention on the energies that are emanating from my client.  Then I can be more specific by quietly focusing on what is wrong — and how I can heal it by projecting my intentions through a color therapy wand.

Regardless if your meditation is in solitude or part of a group effort involving tools, the only thing that has to be realized about the so-called elusive art of meditation is how to recognize when you are doing it and having a plan to just practice it.  How simple is that?  Contact me at lisa@centerfortheself.com for a custom meditation session.  Together we can learn what it means to be spiritual beings and heal our own lives with the power from within.

Kind Regards,
Lisa D. Long,  MSW, CCP

When Is A Toothache NOT a Toothache?

All of us, or at least most of us have had a toothache at one time or another. What you may not have realized is that the pain in the tooth, or actually the gums around the tooth, could be an alarm that there is a problem in a correlating organ. It may not be a problem with the tooth at all. However, because each tooth is aligned energetically with a specific organ, the dis-ease from the organ may be manifesting as pain in the tooth area.

Pain is an alarm clock, telling us it’s time to take care of ourselves. Ouch, ouch, ouch, something is out of alignment! The pain is a trigger for us to change our behavior so we can avoid a particular harmful situation in the future.

Pain is the most expensive affect in our life. It is the number one, most common reason over half of all Americans seek medical attention every year. Pain is one of the heaviest costs distressing our already over stressed health insurance system. The good news is much of the pain can be prevented. We can start by paying attention to our diet and avoiding excess caffeine, alcohol and sugar. Another sure fire method to decrease or avoid pain is to learn to relax. Meditating, walking, doing what you find enjoyable will lower blood pressure that often causes headaches and leads to other stress related health issues.

What does ColorPuncture have to do with toothache pain?

If you have a toothache now, you don’t really care what ColorPuncture has to do with toothache pain, you just want to know how it can make the pain go away, right?!

While I was earning my certification in ColorPuncture(1), I learned that each tooth is energetically linked to a specific organ in the body. This turned out to be invaluable information as my very first long-distance client, Carol who lives in Texas, was experiencing excruciating pain in her fourth tooth. And, as you may guess, her goal was to avoid a root canal.
Carol was seeing a dental specialist during the course of our treatments to make sure she didn’t have any infection or poison leaking into her body. I did three treatments on Carol. The fourth tooth is associated with lung and colon. By doing specific treatments for the fourth tooth along with lung/colon treatments, we were able to unwind the dis-ease. Carol and I are both happy to report that Carol was able to avoid a root canal.
Side-effects of the treatments on Carol include and increase in energy and clarity, a better outlook toward life and she is now able to let go easier. Without the need to hold on and be in control, Carol has a new sense of peace and freedom. Why would this happen from a ColorPuncture treatment? Because ColorPuncture treats the spiritual, emotional, sexual and mental, as well as the physical. In other words, we treat the entire fabric, instead of just one thread.
Below is a photo of the teeth.
Here are the organs associated with each tooth:
Starting at the front of the mouth, with the first tooth being number 1.
Teeth 6,7 & 8 are not shown is this photo. The Wisdom-tooth is #8.

Tooth Organ(s)
1 & 2 – Kidney & Bladder
3 – Liver, Gall bladder
4 & 5 – Lung & Colon
6 & 7 – Stomach & Spleen
8 - Heart, Small Intestine

No bones about it, today’s economy can be stressful on the human being.  Companies are cutting pay while banks are pulling in the loans.  So sales are down and people seem to be struggling.

Why so serious? Because someone said so? Life is challenging in bad as well as good times. There are always things to overcome but we must learn how to live and enjoy life no matter what climate we might find ourselves in.

Once you have a plan to manage your life, you can easily find time for a little laughter.   It is so important to have free time to spend with yourself, as well as the people you know and love.  Here is a video that is so cute that it can make you laugh.  Enjoy and remember to laugh and smile everyday.

What is Color Puncture? Or rather ColorPuncture?

ColorPuncture is a space age healing modality, combining the age-old art of acupuncture with the high technology of crystals and colored light waves. The tools and the art are absolutely amazing. The healing instrument looks like something right out of “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Peter Mandel, a German scientist and naturopath, developed ColorPucture. Over 25 years of intensive research went into developing this unique system of healing.

Scientists have proven light penetrates deeply into all cells of the body. ColorPuncture delivers pure information, via photons to the cells; physicists are proving that cells communicate with each other via biophotons. Stress, pollution, trauma, suppressed emotions, depression, etc., all these illnesses force cells out of balance. This directed energy therapy can bring cells back into harmony so they are able to communicate again, thus addressing the root cause of our disease.

 

The amazing thing about Colorpuncture is that treats the physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions simultaneously. People undergoing treatment report almost immediate relief from pain. From upset stomachs to tight muscles, clients report having more energy and clarity, and a better sense of well-being, who have undergone this very interesting form of treatment. Lisa can relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Since there is no limit to the imagination and the penetration of light, ColorPuncture can be a ‘drug free’ relief all for all sorts of aliments.

Lisa Long, Certified ColorPuncturist, has had many satisfied clients over her many years of practice. She had started doing face-to-face healings like many healers, but soon discovered the rare ability to project this fine energy over phone therapy sessions. Scientists have proven light is fine in effect and fast moving, allowing Lisa to be one of the few ColorPuncturist in the world able to do phone sessions.  Please visit Center For The Self to schedule your own private session.

Lisa Long’s ability to plan and then focus allows her to better understand her client from a psychic level. She then is able to use a spectrum of color to penetrate the cells and disrupt the negative vibration from the ailment. We have found ColorPuncture to be easy on the client, very effective and quick.  ColorPuncture gently “unwinds” stuck information and energy at the subconscious, or root level. To learn more about ColorPuncture, please visit www.colorpuncture.com
