Bury The Hatchet with your Unhealed "X's"
This article is featured in Healing section of the Feb/Mar 2010 issue of Sunstream Magazine.
No, I'm not talking about where some of you might like to bury those hatchets... I am talking about actually healing the wounding that is current every time you think of that person. Maybe you aren't aware that every time you X this person out by not using their first name, you are actually creating more scarring and tension somewhere in your psyche. You are reminding yourself to hurt your self through this unhealed wound. Sounds crazy, but that is how our subconscious takes this symbolic communication.

Christmas: Heaven or Hell?
Do you have layers of resentment or grief from 'old hurts' carried over from past unhealed run-ins with family or friends? Relatives can activate unhealed memories that will become current events year after year. Sometimes Christmas is only an anniversary to celebrate pain over and over again.

What Is Your Biggest Fear?
We will often solve habitual fear by going away from it. The unhealed story of origin is then stored and a pattern of avoidance is created.

Do You Suffer From Undigestion? 
Undigestion is similar to indigestion, only it is slightly different...

Self-Sabotage Gets a Bad Rap
Self-Sabotage appears to be a persistent recurring pattern that creatively presents itself just when we are finally expecting that we will have our goal come to fruition.

Seeds of Thought
Programs of thought that we continue to run are like seeds that we plant in our minds. If we plant weeds in our garden we will never get a good crop flowers.

Break the Chain of Unbalanced Giving
If I am constantly putting the needs of others ahead of mine and giving out of control, I may unknowingly be attached to approval from the receiver.

Is Your Inner Child Running the Show?
Take a moment to check in and find out what are the things about you or others that displease you . Is it anger, feelings of abandonment, abusive behavior, addictions, chronic blaming, jealousy, judging, victim consciousness, lack of love, lack of money, et cetera?

The Comfort Zone
At first, we may see through a victim's eyes and claim that we didn't do this to ourselves, but eventually, the questions arise: "Why does this keep happening to me? Do I have a sign on my forehead? How do these people come into my life and keep showing me the same lessons - of lack, victimization, abuse, shame or addiction?

Emotional Clutter
"We do all kinds of things to escape from the nagging voices in our mind. We may become emotionally bankrupt after funding such expensive patterns of avoidance. Eventually our physical body or life itself will create a way for us to look at our yard sale and notice the chaos. Messengers will show up to remind us what is not healed from our past."

Feng Shui Your Inner Closets
"Let's look at what isn't working and use the tools that can quickly bust though these obsolete patterns. It can mean changing your mind. This is a time of miracles and there are plenty happening daily. We can have the shift in our thinking that will run a different program."

Freedom is Possible
"We are taught to strive to feel good and when we don't feel good, we think something is wrong with us and we seek to find a cure for this symptom, sometimes by masking the pain with addictive behavior."

Our Inner Programming
"We all have influences from our first seven years of life that have anchored states. These anchored states become belief systems and are emotionally charged. These belief systems hold the key to healing our present issues."

Shake Hands With Yourself
"I invite you to pay attention to that inner voice. You know the one. We may have been ignoring it as we struggle back and forth with what we really want to do and what we were taught or even allowed to do. If we authentically pay attention to the ways that we con ourselves into believing that we are doing what is right for us, we may discover that we have been operating from someone else's information. Go ahead - wipe the dust off that file."

What if
"Have you noticed over the years how different people will keep showing up and re-presenting what is necessary to be updated according to who you really are? Is this punishment from the Gods, or is it the Universal Intelligence recognizing that we are ready to find out that we can exorcise the old belief system and see the Divine within?"

It is all about Love
Think about how much you are dearly loved by someone,a child relative, spouse,or adoring pet ...Recognize that this love is very exclusive from their perspective...

The Energy of Healing... Change ...
Do you find your life taking on a different energy? Is there new information being added to the old stubborn blocks that you have witnessed repeating over and over?

" Talksick " Inner Dialogue
How do you address friends, co-workers and strangers? Are you polite, understanding and patient? Are you careful not to hurt or bruise anyone's delicate feelings ? Do you tread lightly in new social situations so that you may give a good impression?
