Releasing Emotions for Health & Happiness
By: VitalityLink Finder    Saturday, Dec 31, 2011
When something painful, negative or traumatic happens to us, we often don't get it out of our systems and the effects accumulate. In the course of just living, we're bombarded with traumas, grief, fear, anger, and other emotions. The memories of these experiences accumulate and are retained on many levels, even in our bodies. We react to trauma on many levels: physically, we flinch, grimace or go into shock; energetically, our space has been violated; mentally, we deny or rationalize the experience; emotionally, we become angry, shameful, frustrated, sad, fearful, humiliated; spiritually, we ...Read More
Seven Steps for Cultivating Happiness
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Friday, Jul 01, 2011
Are you happy? Do you know what makes you happy? It is easy to look to the external world for happiness. You may look for happiness in a love relationship or you may think that having lots of money will make you happy. However, nothing in the external world will make you truly happy because happiness is an inside job. That being said, I am offering you seven ways that you can cultivate happiness. You may not be able to do them all at once and that is fine. Start applying one or two of these steps at a time and notice how you feel. Give yourself time to make internal shifts and you will see ...Read More
Looking for the Good in Life
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Sunday, May 08, 2011
Do you have a habit of noticing what is missing in your life? Do you focus on lack rather than appreciate what you already have? I have found that many people have this tendency. Often this behavior is not even conscious. What you focus on magnifies and expands. If you focus on the lack of anything such as with health, money or love you are attracting more of that into your experience. Rather than look at what is missing train yourself to focus on that which is good in your life. I have been involved with a wonderful coaching program with Mary A Hall. Mary teaches you to look for “what ...Read More
All You Need is Love
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Friday, Oct 08, 2010
Remember that Beatles song? Well it’s true – all you need IS love. Pure unconditional love, is the most powerful force in the universe. Love is also a powerful healing force. Even if you do not know any healing modalities you can still tap into the power of love. I recently listened to two interviews with two different acclaimed energy healers, Jo Dunning and Chunyi Lin about the healing power of love. Each of them talked about the miraculous healing power of love and the importance of sending love to yourself, including your body. I believe Jo Dunning had a severed nerve in her ...Read More

Are You Lazy or are You Practicing Self-Care?
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Saturday, Jun 12, 2010
Recently on Twitter someone asked me what the difference was between self-care and being lazy. I thought that was a great question. One that was deserving of exploring as I believe self-care to be of the utmost importance. First of all I believe that for most of us the word “lazy” is a term our ego uses to push us into doing something our spirit doesn’t really want to do at the moment. It’s a “should” statement/ a judgment that can throw us out of alignment. Self-care means taking care of yourself – body, mind and spirit. You practice self-care by ...Read More
Practicing Loving Kindness
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Monday, May 17, 2010
Back in the late 1970’s I practiced Vipassana meditation with Dr. Rina Sircar, a Buddhist nun who teaches at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). At that time CIIS had not been established yet and the school was called the California Institute of Asian Studies. Every morning, five days a week, a group of us gathered with Rina to meditate for an hour. Vipassana meditation, also called Mindfulness or Insight Meditation, consists mainly of focusing on your breath. We would focus our attention on the in and out movement of the breath and sometimes on the rising and falling ...Read More
How to be in a Love Relationship and Make it Work
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Wednesday, Apr 07, 2010
Chances are, you were taught basic skills such as reading, writing, and how to ride a bike. Yet how many of you were taught how to be in a love relationship and make it work? It's quite amazing that in these sophisticated times people are not taught basic relationship skills. It’s obviously needed because the divorce statistics are so high, not to mention all the single people out there looking for a mate. That is why I want to share some key factors with you. These factors are: 1. Relationship is a path to growth and healing. 2. The art of listening 3. The three A’s - Acceptance,  ...Read More
Easing the Process of Change
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Thursday, Mar 18, 2010
How do you handle change? Do you fear it, resist it, welcome it, or deny it? How you react towards change often depends on whether you initiate it or feel subject to its control. When change occurs abruptly, it may be a final wake up call to an already existing situation. One that has long been in need of an overhaul. Regardless of whether you feel the victim of change or the initiator, the process of change happens slowly and subtly over time. I like to use the metaphor of a garden. When you plant a seed in the earth, it usually takes a period of time, sometimes weeks, before any visible ...Read More
Five Steps to Transform Negative Thinking (And Your Life)
By: Susan Eller, M.A. RMT    Tuesday, Mar 09, 2010
What thoughts dominate your life? Do you ever stop to notice? Most people are unaware of the impact their thinking has on their lives. However, your thoughts directly affect your mood and self-esteem. If you are not aware of that try this little test. The next time you feel sad, angry, or anxious for no apparent reason, take a moment to observe what you were just thinking and jot it down……It could be quite revelatory. How you think also affects your body. For example, if you are in the habit of entertaining self-critical, pessimistic thoughts, you may find that your body becomes  ...Read More
