Three-Legged Stool



It has been over a year ago that I was asked to do a talk on Healing: Body, Mind, and Spirit. While the title is new, the significance of weaving together the threads of body, mind, and spirit are anything but. My first idea for a name of my healing practice was "tapestry."

The image that I often use to help us really get the point is a three-legged stool. If you think even for a moment about the logistics, you realize NO stool can stand without at least three legs. For our focus today, let's think about our goal for well-being as Body: calm; Mind: confident; and Spirit: focused. 

I found this perfect illustration on line! Thank you to whomever created it.


What is key to your having a calm body? For most of us, we must retrain our brain, because the human brain is still functioning as though we are being chased by lions and tigers.

According to world-renowned emotional intelligence expert Daniel Goleman, most of us are still acting out of the ancient fight-or-flight response, and an upgrade is long-overdue so you can stop emotional hijackings and develop emotional intelligence.

Most everything I share with clients, friends, and family is designed to retrain the amygdala and allow you to know you are safe so you can make sane choices about how to best respond with love and compassion and wisdom and kindness. Here is a sampling list:
  • Self Full Body Connection
  • Etheric Vitality Plus
  • Aromatherapy
  •  NLP
  • Hypnosis
  •  Music
  • Meditation 
  •  Guided Imagery
  • Yoga
  • Tai Chi
Let's face it, life is hectic. Parents with young children know that; working people know that; and even retirees know that. That is why I like these offerings because they address all three legs at once. They calm your body, empower your mind, and inspire your spirit.
