Health Counseling Update

josephD — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:51:14 GMT

Today is a great day my friends. I hope you all are doing wonderful. I am contacting you to let you know that my Health Counseling service, "Best Life Ever" is now in action and ready to rock. I'm now working as a Holistic Health Counselor and working with people to help them live happier and healthier lives. This work is so perfect for me and I'm loving every minute of it. It charges me, I think about it all the time and I really feel like I'm on the path I'm meant to be on. So what does this mean for you? Well obviously that I'm happy, well and very pleased to share this news with you. But it also means that by doing this I can help you and those around you too. The point of this service is to help the person I work with be on the road they want to be on with nutrition and their lives as a whole. I love this work, and even just in the first few sessions with my existing clients I've seen a change in them as they are growing and embracing life anew. It's so beautiful and I can't wait to support everyone that comes across my path. It truly is amazing. So check out my website I've got up, it's http://www.best-life-ever.net. On the site it gives you some more information on what Health Counseling is, on what working together would be like, some resources, and more. I'm really excited to be rolling this out and to be able to start helping more and more people. It makes me smile!! So feel free to pass this info along to friends, family, and anyone you know that could benefit from a Health Counselor in their life as I'm ready to help them create their Best Life Ever!

Take Refuge in Silence All sound arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. All thought arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The universe arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. Suffering arises out of Silence and dissolves into Silence. The unbounded spaciousness of Silence, filled with the clear light of Awareness, dissolves the roots of pain and sorrow. Take refuge in Silence and know unshakeable joy. Kalidas (Lawrence Edwards Ph.D.) Timeline (1952 - )

Oh Great Spirit

Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds And whose breath gives life to everyone, Hear me. I come to you as one of your many children; I am weak... I am small...I need your wisdom and your strength. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunsets. Make my hands respect the things you have made, and make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may understand what you have taught my people and the lessons you have hidden in each leaf and each rock. I ask for wisdom and strength, Not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come before you with clean hands and a straight eye, So as life fades away as a fading sunset, My spirit may come to you without shame. - lakota - chief yellow lark - 1887

Imparted with the gift of wisdom I take down this prayer I honor all my relations, I cherish the gift of life and the great mystery Aho Great Spirit as we are one Grandfather I heard your wisdom, seeing you in the boulders Your many faces all were one to me The stable wisdom of ancient energy Eternal and beautiful, it speaks to me beyond my thoughts and words Grandfather I honor you and I walk with you We are one. Grandmother Moon, I have long respected you And interacted and gave praise But now I see what I lacked I honor you, not only as my overseer, my kind grandmother But I respect you as a great mystery, a great force, a powerful manifestation of Spirit Your cycles affect me in ways I do not understand And I recognize and honor them I am at one with your energies from new to full to new again We are one as I walk this Earth under your silvery glow We are one. To the Great Grandfathers, the Sun and Stars Ancient wisdom! Merely feeling your energy brings peace and inner light Refined over countless years Shining bigger and brighter than I can comprehend Passing through space and time Reaching me Timeless already Formed perfect and refined further With each passing year We walk together through this space and time We are one. This innate wisdom Now believing what I’ve thought many times Now I walk with it, not looking at it but being it This wisdom! Oh Great Spirit I am here to listen To be guided Let me walk with you In between the worlds Shining bright and walking strong We are one. Now I see it in all things The elements now seem so clear They are the most ancient of all The fire I’ve created Is no different than the fire on the sun The fires that have existed long before the Earth It is ancient, perfect and carries enormous wisdom with each breathe It lives, it eats, it’s glow transcends our presence And with respect I cannot describe I sit and honor the great universal fire Oh how Spirit shows itself! Oh how powerful and mysterious! And the water! The earth! The air! All the elements are older than our very planet They are everywhere in the universe And each glance we have upon them represents the whole Ancient and magnificent With honor we can learn much from these forces Much respect from this humble soul May we walk as one. Stepping back, I see that the plants come to perfection so easily Their ancient mapping brought to life Refined again and again As each leaf unfolds As does more wisdom than I know I honor you plant brothers as we are one! Next I see the birds, the animals, all living things I see their ancient flow Their innate wisdom Perfected over time We may see them on the surface But I now see their instinct, transcending all boundaries Cutting deep into the fabric of life Weaving through the webs we create And just being..so perfectly Refined in each pure creature Wisdom handed down with each generation To it’s current form Each creature having already lived countless lifetimes I honor you! Your wisdom is so great and mysterious! I honor you! May I walk with you and speak with you May I learn from you and interact with you May all humans understand this divinity in every being May we be as one. May we all understand this deeper wisdom May we all walk with the Great Spirit Manifested in all it’s forms May we walk closely with creation Understand it deeper than our thoughts And respect it deeper than we know Bringing harmony into each step And sowing the seeds of future refining I honor all my relations, big and small, animate and non, seen and unseen May we walk together in perfect harmony Aho Mitakuye Oyasin
