Symbolic Cards – Intuition and Healing with Art Therapy
As part of my training and development of my Intuition, my teacher taught me how to make my own personal ‘Symbolic Cards’ or ‘Innie Cards.’ They continue to help me to this day and I share with students how to make their own deck as part of the Intuitive Development Course. These cards combine Intuition and Art Therapy with Healing and Soul Development. They become a representation of what it is you may need to know about yourself or a situation in your life to help you heal. They speak directly to those places in you that need the balm of Spirit to lovingly guide you forward. Here is an…

Staying Healthy with the Seasons – Late Summer
Late Summer is the time of transition between Summer and Autumn. It has its own season in Chinese 5 Element Theory and it relates to the energy of the Earth.

According to the rhythms of nature and within the context of the Chinese 5 Element theory, Summer is governed by the Fire Element.

The meridians, or energy pathways, associated with this element are the Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium, and Triple Warmer. The pathways can be assessed to determine the energetic…

April is Occupational Therapy Month: OT Observations & Trends
Throughout my 15 years as an Occupational Therapist, I have often considered how to promote and help people understand what exactly Occupational Therapy is. I have contemplated this many times, because most people don’t fully understand it and would benefit from learning how it might help them or a loved one. When April rolls around, it is time to get the word out about this wonderful profession. Do you know what Occupational Therapists do? I was surprised to learn, early on as a new OT, that some physicians did not know how this therapy could help their patients recover more easily and more completely. They simply did not understand…

Spring Time to Renew Yourself
Spring Time is here and it’s early this year! The days are becoming warmer as the sun moves higher in the sky creating a burst of new energy and new life. This is the time of year for growth and renewal in nature and in ourselves. In his classic text on living in harmony with nature, “Staying Healthy with the Seasons”, Elson M. Haas, MD says, “In the Chinese system of Five Elements, the spring season is correlated with the element of Wood, which governs the gall bladder and liver. The Wood element refers to living, growing entities: trees, plants, and the human body. They grow simultaneously out and…
