Category Archives: Private Practice Notes

Here is where we talk about the nitty gritty of day after day being in a room with a client in person, on the phone, or just doing the proxy work, in the absence of other practitioners with whom we can interact.
Here we can talk about how to nurture ourselves and stay connected to our best selves and peers while in the service of others.

Speaking From My Heart- Nourishing My Soul

The energetic transformations that so many of us are experiencing and that Patricia Cota-Robles so masterfully addresses are not once removed news items for me.

I have been experiencing profound shifts and readjustments that have been intensifying steadily. This is especially since I had my first Virtual retreat with Mark Silver www.theheartof business.com  in November 2010.

On a physical level my body has been streamlining and strengthening. With the support of pilates, walking, the services of my gifted massage therapist  Erzsebet Foldi, doing lymphatic massage with me,  with my wonderful holistic internist, Dr. Dana Cohen www.drdanacohen.com  and my new chiropractors , both Dr. Frank Gilbert and  Dr. Eric  Uuksulainen at  the Gilbert Chiropractic www.gilbertchiropractic.com  I am enjoying a new burst of vitality, alignment and groundedness.

On emotional and spiritual levels I am feeling greater connectedness to God and experiencing, with bittersweetness , a letting go that is deep and profound. I have been feeling like I am in the rabbit hole that Alice in Wonderland found and I am waiting to see where I will land.

With great conviction I know that all I am experiencing in terms of my paring down to essentials in all aspects of myself and my life , is but preparation for the next phase of my life.  After repeatedly trying to energize old projects and begin new ones I have come to the conclusion that at the present moment my job is to let go of all that stands in the way of my simply Being.

My job is to stand in my power simply by being an open-hearted human female. My power and worth is not through what I do, practice and  know. Neither is my power through how I think I serve God and other people.

Of course I have known that aspiring to a state of just Being while conducting my life in the world is the key to being in the flow and Grace of life.  I have been practicing to deeply have Being the foundation of my life for such a long time but something has shifted within me that now makes it imperative that I simply make this so for myself.

Those who are familiar with the values of the Metal element and the release that is appropriate in the Autumn season will appreciate the perfection of my process coinciding with our earth’s seasons.

The point of this lengthy disclosure is that at this time I am very conscious about nurturing and inspiring myself these days so I can continue to be of some use to others and myself. Of course I continue to use my Resonance Repatterning tools both with self sessions and through regular sessions with other practitioners. Where would I be without it?

Last night I went to the New York Public Library because I just knew that I had to hear and see Harry Belafonte being interviewed. This advance notice of the event will describe the context of the evening.

I was truly moved by the eloquence, humility, intelligence and humor that Harry Belafonte embodies.

The man who moved my heart did so because his light shone so brightly. His spiritual magnificence is thoroughly integrated into his life by his conscious life purpose of fighting injustice every day.

I bought his book to fuel my being inspired, to help me sing my song. I shook his hand and told him how moved I was by his interview. I felt his sincerity as he thanked me, shook my outstretched hand and looked in my eyes.

It was a great moment, a great night and today I luxuriated in readying his book for a wonderfully long time.  I feel fortified.

Thank you Harry, Paul Holdengraber  and the New York Public Library!

The Yoga Of Marketing

One of the very best outcomes from my participation in Mark Silver’s course The Heart of Money; A Transformational Journey (see www.theheartofbusiness.com for more about Mark) was the opportunity I had to partner during the eight weeks with some extraordinary people.

Cathy Wilke ,  www.freedomandfulfillment.net , and I worked extremely well with each other during the course and we continue to do the work of the course together as follow-up on a weekly basis.

Her business mission is to help people in business as holistic practitioners to successfully market themselves and succeed in prospering by doing what they love.

I experience her as insightful, organized and she has an intuitive vision of a possibility for her client’s work that is unique and quite frankly magical.  She is a gem!

I am happy to pass on to you her information about her one day class, The Yoga of Marketing, which is being held at The Oaks in New Rochelle.  I expect to be there and I hope that you’ll come too.

 

 

 

The Yoga Of Marketing: Foundations of Abundance.

Sunday, October, 16th

10am – 5pm

Cost: $150

The Oaks

590 Davenport Avenue

New Rochelle, NY

Your work is powerful and transformational–people have even told you that you’ve changed their lives.

You know you have a gift and you want to get it out into the world, but sometimes, you don’t know exactly how to talk about what you do in a way that makes people want to pay for it.

And you’re overwhelmed by the idea of having to market or promote yourself.

You can grow your practice and have a thriving business without having to sell yourself or your soul.

If you’re struggling with getting clients or marketing your practice, please join me on October 16th for this workshop.

Some of the things that we’ll cover are:

  • The #1 mistake most holistic practitioners make when talking to potential clients.
  • How to use social media to engage a community around what you do.
  • How to create and promote workshops and events so that they sell out.
  • How to position your service so that you stand out from all of the other people who do the same thing you do.
  • How to eliminate the blocks that keep you from growing your practice into a thriving business.

There will be a follow-up class one month after the event to get your questions answered and resolve anything that might be keeping you from moving forward.

You’ll also have peer support to help keep you on track from the moment you leave the workshop until the follow-up class.

You must register in advance
