Natural Healing Resources

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 29 - 2008

With Prescription Drugs killing more people than all the illegal drugs combined more and more of us are looking into alternative means to heal. I am a HUGE believer in the mind/body connection and “healing from within” because I have done it myself. The mind/body connection alone encompasses MANY techniques and when you look into integrative, complimentary and alternative medicines there are a mind boggling amount of ways to be well and heal without prescriptions. Since I began blogging almost a year ago I have seen a HUGE increase in wellness sites. I wanted to provide a resource list to my readers of some of my favorites and some new ones that my blog is fed into. I also wanted to differentiate between integrative, complimentary and alternative medicines. I

Weeding My Thoughts to Plant New Seeds

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 19 - 2008

It is wonderful (yet I’ll admit a little scary) for me to be able to share something that I have considered so intimate for so long with my readers — my poetry writing. I have posted 2 other poems on my blog; My “Happy Birthday Poem to Aaron Potts” of “Today is That Day” and the Dual Purpose Meme I Wrote “Jenny from A-Z — 26 Things you Did Not Know About Me“. The next poem is a little more serious and the idea came to me from a dream that I actually remembered (a rarity). I love gardening and working on my self-talk so this poem is a good reminder for me to keep on weeding! I hope you enjoy it and I welcome comments.

SFT Will Teach You How to Remove Emotional Pain

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 16 - 2008

I am very happy to present a guest post by Jennifer Abbott from Principles for Peace. I met Jennifer via one of my favorite blogs, Tim Brownson’s, “A Daring Adventure“. After corresponding a few times she told me about SFT Awareness and I asked her to write a post for my readers to share this amazing program. I believe everyone has the capacity to change habits, adopt new positive behaviors and to grow and heal. I also believe hearing of a technique that YOU feel a strong connection to is the BEST way to ensure lasting success. Jennifer teaches SFT Awareness which I had not heard of before but will resonate with many people. This wonderful program will surely help many…

10 Things That Made Me Happy Today

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 11 - 2008

Suzie from The Abundance Highway tagged me for the “10 Things That Make Me Happy” Meme. Since I ALWAYS LOVE to think about happiness and what I am grateful for — this is perfect for me. Thanks Suzie! One of the questions asked was what made you feel happy TODAY and that is the one I am answering….

1) Waking up and feeling it cooler than in has been but still having it be bright and sunny out (minus humidity).

2) Watching my children take and ENJOY tennis lessons and chatting with another mom who is a friend.

3) Thinking how happy I will be when Ray gets home — 3 hours — whoo hoo! (My husband is away from us all week working).

4) Picking up fence stain.

25 Words of Work/Life Wisdom

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 9 - 2008

I have not participated in a Group Writing Project in months and I am very grateful to Liz Strauss from Successful Blog for this wonderful opportunity. I thoroughly enjoy blogging but sometimes it is nice to go back to my roots of poetry and looking at fewer words at a time instead of editing a 1,300+ word post. I love writing exercises as mentioned in my post “5 Writing Exercises to Help Heal Pain” and this project brought my attention to another area of my writing — the importance of every word. I loved Liz’s personal examples in her post explaining the “Writing Project: 25 Words of Work/Life Wisdom“. Here are my entries:

5 Writing Exercises to Help Heal Pain

Posted by Jenny Mannion On July - 1 - 2008

Writing has always been a part of my life in some form. From poems, plays and journaling to my writing about how sad and sick I was when I was ill. I would write about how much pain I was in, how upset I was that I could not do the things I wanted to do and just how miserable I was in general. I told myself I was “getting it out” but I now know that doing that perpetuated my conditions and me feeling unwell. Receiving my first Susan Sark book got me writing positively again. Reading “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill added more positive writing exercises. Discovering my passion for blogging and writing about health has been such a gift for me. I would love to
