Towards Joy and Love

Posted on March 30, 2011 by Suzanne Schevene

This funny, insightful and important 20 minute talk is well worth your time. Have you realized that numbing is not a selective process – that if you numb down your pain you also numb down your joy, creating a cycle that flatlines your life? How depressing is that?!?!?! To break the cycle…well, I’ll let you watch and see. And in all honesty, I am so very grateful to be working with my passion, which is helping people to live a fully alive life. Enjoy!

How do you smell?

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Suzanne Schevene

Ok, I’m not really asking how YOU smell to others but how do you personally take in the scents of the world? The forests, the oceans, the restaurants, the earth, the chemicals, the garbage.

Some of scent-ual things you may want to completely inhale, absorb and infuse into every cell in your body. And others, well, you’d rather not breathe it in at all.

Can you do that? Yes, of course – to a degree anyway.

Scents that delight you and nourish your well-being are abundant. They are often found in or arise from nature – trees, flowers, water, earth, home baked bread … the list is endless. With these, slowly inhale through your nose deeply filling your belly then your chest. Feel the nurturing life force enter your system and feel, sense, think about, imagine or intend for the energy of that scent-ual experience to fill your whole being and expand out beyond your physical body into your energy fields all around you. And exhale gratitude for the joy of being alive and the ability to enjoy this luscious experience. Do this a few more times deepening and slowing the process, allowing yourself to bask in the juiciness of this sensory experience.

And then there are those other scents; Continue reading →

The 36 Jin Shin Breaths

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Suzanne Schevene

The simplest and most important self help tool we have is our breath: the exhale and the inhale.

When we exhale consciously and deeply, we release tension and stress. When we inhale naturally, we receive an abundance of life energy. This life energy connects our body, mind, and spirit.

Simply and consciously exhale while dropping your shoulders as if they were touching your feet. The smile comes naturally as you release and gently welcome the inhalation.

Each day use this formula to exhale consciously and inhale naturally 36 breaths. You can do this all at once or you can do 9 complete exhales and inhales four times per day. Use your breath!

Full to Overflowing or an Empty Barrel of Apples?

Posted on December 30, 2010 by Suzanne Schevene

Which are you? Are you able to maintain your fullness and presence with yourself and others? Or are you feeling … you know, the other one?

As we come to realize that an empty barrel has no more apples to give, hopefully we also come to understand the real necessity for self care.

There are many ways to do this and you probably have your favorites. What is important is that you remember to keep yourself full to overflowing, so that you can offer the best that you have to give.

Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, in her book Full Body Presence, offers these 5 principles for creating or maintaining your full body presence:

1. Trust the existence of nurturing life energy. Trusting that there is an unlimited source of nourishing, life-giving energy in the Universe allows you to recognize that you are loved and supported throughout your life, and allows you to live from trust rather than from fear.
Feel the presence of this life energy in your body. Feeling your internal connection to this life energy as a natural state of being opens your awareness to discover a sense of belonging, reclaim your inner wisdom, and experience vitality and joy.
Integrate this energy throughout your entire system. Integrating a felt sense of this nurturing energy throughout your entire body helps you establish a full personal container with strong, flexible, healthy boundaries.
Expand your perceptual lens. Expanding your perceptual lens enables you to see clearly, release expectations and limiting beliefs, and open fully to life.
Choose nourishing resources moment to moment. Choosing moment to moment to connect to healthy resources requires commitment, courage and kindness, and provides you with a steady foundation and a deep sense of inner peace.

Integrate ways into your daytime routines to keep yourself full. Not only will your life be that much better, but it will ripple out to others as well. And it will ripple out from them to others. And from them. And from them…

EMF Balancing – Phase XIII

Posted on July 29, 2010 by Suzanne Schevene

Phase XIII of the EMF Balancing Technique

The Way of the Evolutionary

Everyone is feeling the changes.

You may be experiencing this in a myriad of ways ranging from unsettled anxiety to major life challenges and you may be traveling with the flow of change or fighting like heck to maintain some degree of normalcy. Where ever you are and whatever you’re doing, know that you are not alone. We are all going through this.

And although the language is different, everyone is talking about it whether you listen to the physicists, the channels or the leading evolutionaries in consciousness. There is no denying it. It IS happening. The question is – how are you choosing to handle it?

We are living in a time of great change, personally and collectively. This time of transformation presents us with a golden opportunity to evolve beyond our current limits. If we keep doing the things we have always done, we will continue to create the same results. Do you choose to embrace your evolutionary process, or do you choose to remain the same?

Jin Shin – Heart Meridian

Posted on June 29, 2010 by Suzanne Schevene

Let us continue to look at a series of easy self care, quick release techniques to help you feel better. The body can regenerate and restore when the energy is flowing. With Jin Shin, we work with the acupressure points on the body using light touch to release stress and tension.

Remember that you can work on yourself or use these points to work on a client. For Quantum Touch students/practitioners, holding these points while doing QT really pumps up the effectiveness. These are quick release points not full flows that a practitioner would likely use.

This month we are peeking into the Heart Meridian.

Do you notice any of these tendencies in yourself? Pretense, crying on the inside while laughing on the outside, inappropriate joy, masking feelings, insecurity, trying too hard, nervous or circulatory system issues, seriousness, shyness, afraid to play.

The Heart Meridian thrives on new ideas, action and adventure. It is the force which enables our planted seeds to grow, ripen and flourish. It gives us the power to act. It brings us prosperity, spontaneity and integrity. This flow is most responsive to spiritual thought and is nourished by exercise and playfulness.

Jin Shin – Gall Bladder Meridian

Posted on June 19, 2010 by Suzanne Schevene

Let us continue to look at a series of easy self care, quick release techniques to help you feel better. The body can regenerate and restore when the energy is flowing. With Jin Shin, we work with the acupressure points on the body using light touch to release stress and tension.

This month we are peeking into the Gall Baldder Flow.

Do you notice any of these tendencies in yourself? Arthritis, cancers, cheek/back of ear pain, digestive problems, joint pain, eyes at outer corners – achy and crusty, shoulder/upper arm or elbow pain, feeling of disconnectedness or overly attached, lethargic, space cadet, rash decisions, need to control as well as indecision and timidity. Headaches may occur on one of the two sides of the head because the GB meridian zigzags the head and during stress/tension it becomes like a vice.

The general function is to bring mental clarity and the power to focus, plan and make decisions.

Quick Check & Self Help: Very easy to do - hold both 14’s (along the base of the rib cage below the sternum and off to the side a couple inches). Remember too to take nice full, deep breaths and hold a positive mindset.

Generally speaking, if you are not able to feel a pulse, it is likely that there is a blockage. If the pulses are erratic, there is a restriction or overflow involved. When there is free flow in the meridian, you will feel both points pulsing in harmony with one another.

Visualize the hands as jumper cables. Just apply – no strength is required. There is no need to rub or massage.
Relax. If you are unable to relax, just be as you are. Trying takes effort and can be counter productive
You may sit, stand or lie down – whatever is most comfortable for you
Simply apply your hands for a few minutes at a time until you can feel an even rhythmic pulsation
Jumper-cabling can be done at any time of day. It is the daily application that will accomplish results.

Jin Shin – Umbilicus Meridian

Posted on April 6, 2010 by Suzanne Schevene

As we get closer to spring, the quiet inner reflective time of winter begins to move towards the birth that spring always brings.

This month we are peeking into the Umbilicus Flow, also known as the Triple Heater, which connects spirit and body through breath and blood. It is symbolized as the “doorway” between the spirit world and the physical world. It brings the spirit’s fire force into physical form.

Another aspect to this meridian is to govern the fight or flight response, Continue reading →
