Life Balance

“Life Balance: I give important areas of my life  the attention they need to run smoothly, yet I don’t risk my equilibrium or wear myself out.”

That’s the card I picked today from my Healing Man Healing Woman card game.   How true or untrue is that statement for you?

It hasn’t been as true for me lately as I think it should be–which is exactly why I’m taking a 2-week vacation at the end of this month!!! HOORAY!!!  Life Balance is something that a lot of people struggle with as they juggle (rather than integrate) the various responsibilities and interests in their lives. And yes, at times, certain things will require more attention and more effort than other things. But even then, a part of establishing and maintaining life balance is knowing where to draw the line between paying attention and being consumed.

Let Me Tell You What I’ve Seen a Shaman Do!

“Tell me what you’ve seen him do!” That’s what my friend Jerry Mintz who runs AERO – the Alternative Education Resource Organization (http://www.educationrevolution.org) just asked me about the shaman I’m bringing to New York.

I replied, “In terms of healing, I’ve seen him heal paralysis from the neck down (this took nearly a year), chronic back pain (in about 20 minutes). He’s cured people’s fear of heights and fear of the dark in under 30 seconds. Plus I’ve seen a lot of deep emotional and spiritual healing. He also spiritually “diagnosed” that someone on our last trip had an ailment in some part of her body, which she later confirmed after seeing a doctor here in the States.  People and their lives can change so dramatically when they work with him [both personally and professionally]. I’ve also seen him command fire with his hand from a good 10 feet away. These are some of the highlights that I know about first hand. I’ve also heard of stories of him healing serious illnesses like cancer, which took several weeks from what I understand. But he’s just a great spiritual teacher as well as a historian. He also used to teach at one of the universities in Peru.”

“Wow, that’s amazing,” Jerry said. “I’d love to meet him.” Then it’s a good thing he’s coming to NY to do this retreat! Learn more http://bit.ly/shamanicretreat
