Quote du jour |
Anything that you cannot
relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness possesses you, and in this
materialistic age a great many of us are possessed by our possessions. We are
not free. ~Mildred Norman Ryder The Peace Pilgrim (1908 - 1981) |

ERASE YOUR PAST TEA… A wonderful metaphor Face
it, trace it and erase it! That’s
a big part of your inner journey. Forgiving is NOT condoning… The
LISA
Method… |
Imagine
my surprise as I was meandering through a little gift shop in Gloucester, MA
when I came across this unusual tea collection. I immediately started giggling, and shared
with my friend the hilarity of this box of tea. The
notion that we could drink a cup of tea and declutter our mind – and be rid
of all our past traumas, losses, betrayals and negative memories -- is
clearly absurd. Or is it? Let’s think beyond the proverbial box for a
moment… I
began to wonder, could it be possible? Could someone just make a CHOICE to
let go, forgive and move on and in a heartbeat – the time it takes to sip
tea, as it were – and be free from the past? Could it be a spiritual or
philosophical DECISION? Would that the tea could be just the costume for a
vision, a prayer, and a hope for transformation... Anticipating
your transformative turnarounds and supporting you in decluttering
your whole life keeps me hopeful and grateful – because the entire process is
mostly a joyful endeavor – including the griefwork. I often say your inner journey can be
condensed into six little words: Face it, trace it and erase it! To
that end, this fall there are more opportunities to join our fun interactive
groups for decluttering on every level. Decluttering
is ultimately a sacred event, and I always feel privileged to assist you as
you release and let go of unwanted relationships, or things. Yes, I always look forward to helping you
create a space for grace in your life. I
invite you to scroll down to see the event details, and join me as we trudge
the road to freedom and learn to live in simple abundance! With
warm blessings, Lisa |

Exciting brain
research… What is
neurotheology and how will this emerging field change our lives? |
Over
the summer I dabbled and bumped into some wonderful new ideas. Side by side with the trilogy Shades of Grey (oh my), I was also
excited by the new research on neurotheology. According to Wikipedia, “Neurotheology, also known as spiritual
neuroscience, attempts to explain religious experience and behavior in
neuroscientific terms.” Dr.
Andrew Newberg is a pioneer in this fascinating field of neurotheology. He currently holds the position of Director
of Research at the Myrna Brind Center for Integrative Medicine at Thomas
Jefferson University Hospital and Medical College. He is also Adjunct
Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University
of Pennsylvania. He is frequently interviewed and has published numerous
articles and books on human consciousness, spiritual experiences, and how
practices such as meditation and prayer change the brain.
Here
is a six minute segment from the television series “Through the Wormhole,”
which gives an impressive summary of Newberg’s exciting work. What he is
demonstrating in the lab is how communicating with a living G-d essence
changes the way our brains work, all for the good. According to this
research, a certain kind of stimulation occurs when one prays to a G-d vs.
just pausing, or meditating on nothingness. Newberg on Neurotheology (6
minute video) I
love when scientists give us evidence that there is power in prayer, and that
prayer changes our brains in a positive way.
As
a spiritually based counselor, it’s important to me to access all sources of
transformation and power to change, including prayer. Whatever works, let’s use it! |

Lisa’s Longevity news… Centenarians who
rock!
Bessie Cooper, oldest
living person in the world, turned 116 this August! |
Bessie Cooper is only the eighth person in the world, and
only the fourth American, to reach 116, according to Guinness World Records. Longevity tips from Cooper? "I mind my own business, and I don't eat junk
food," says the Sullivan, Tennessee native, born in 1896. That’s a good reminder, not to meddle and to avoid all
those inflammatory foods that wear us down. |
