Join us on Monday, Feb.22, 2010 as we continue our series on care for the caregiver. In this show we will be discussing the difference between care and over care, how the heart plays a role in your stress management as well as in the quality of our care giving, and how you can move gracefully within the complexity of the caregiver role and stay centered, peaceful and healthy.
“Appreciating Beauty in the Bottom 80” is a study of teens who were not top achievers. One important finding of this study was that many of these students had gifts that conflict with their educational environment.
The author of this study, Christine Duvivier, will be our featured guest Monday, Jan. 11, 2009 at 10 A.M. Christine will be speaking about the how to understand and unleash the full potential in teens who are not “A” students and also how to improve lifetime happiness for all students.
In her work Christine guides parents, teens, college students and business leaders through talks, workshops and coaching to develop the gifts and strengths in our future leaders—today’s students. Find out more about her and her work @ http://www.positiveleaders.com
Christine has a master’s degree in Positive Psychology from University of Pennsylvania as well as an MBA from Cornell. She has given keynote speeches and workshops in the U.S., the UK, Australia and Japan. She’s spoken to audiences at Microsoft Corporation, Massachusetts Women in Technology, The Working Woman’s Conference, University of Tokyo, Toastmasters International, Wellesley High School, Wellesley Youth Commission and many other organizations.
Christine is doing some cutting edge work in applying the concepts from Positive Psychology to teens. It may be that these same conceptscan be applied to anyone seeking to create a more satisfying life! We hope you will join us for what will be a lively and informative hour!
Family get togethers, office parties, neighborhood gatherings—at this time of year we have so any opportunities for encountering the relationship dynamics that exist in our lives. At other times of the year they may be less apparent, more able to recede into the background or be avoided but the holidays bring us right up against them!
A major necessity for healthy relationships that work for all involved are good boundaries. Without them we fall into victimhood, feel out of control and overwhelmed by the demands, needs and desires of those around us.
How can we begin to approach this issue of establishing healthy boundaries?
1. Develop self respect, self love and self acceptance. We have all heard that we need to care for ourselves before we can to truly care for others. This must become a reality that lives within you instead of simply an idea that exists in your mind.
2. Boundaries are not about conflict, acting against another or doing something TO them. Boundaries are about identifying what YOU will do, be, tolerate or expect in a relationship. With healthy boundaries you take charge of your self—you do not and cannot control others.
3. Bring your focus back to yourself instead of trying to be in another’s head—attempting to mind read them. Be clear on your values. Identify your beliefs about what is important and healthy for you.
4. Center and ground within your own energy field. Work with techniques that help you to connect with your core, practicing until you can reliably contact the peace and love that naturally exists there. Develop the ability to maintain that focus, learn to live from that center instead of attempting to think or analyze your way through each relationship situation. Working in this way provides you with a more reliable means of creating healthy boundaries out of which flows the most appropriate and kind response to others.
On Monday, December 21, 2009 we will be discussing more about boundaries and how to take charge of your energy. We will be talking about three common types of energetic interactions and how to make them positive for you and others. In addition, we will be introducing four patterns that are used to maintain control, fill up energy reserves and attempt to get needs met. As with the three types of energy flows between people, these patterns can have a positive or negative influence. It is your awareness, knowledge and ability to manage your energy that makes the difference. So don’t go into the holiday gatherings unprotected and unprepared —learn what is going on beneath the surface of social dynamics and you can sail through the holidays energized, rested and able to truly enjoy the season!
If you cannot join us then remember that all shows are recorded and available for download at your leisure.
In addition to our shows you will find a link to a recording of the first session of 12 Keys for Life and self Mastery—Living an Authentic Life—our holiday gift to you.
On our radio show on Monday we began a two part discussion on the energy of relationship and how to shift out of old patterns through that awareness.
This brief video by Anodea Judith speaks to a similar theme: that our energy systems play a major role in navigating change and creating a better experience for ourselves and the world.
Here’s a brief recap of our Monday discussion and some notes about next week’s continued discussion about how to improve your relationships through energetic awareness.
(1) Energy as it pertains to and is reflected in the changing roles of men and women in current society
(2) The specific types of energy flows that occur out of conscious awareness between people.
Our primary point in this discussion is: Understanding the energetic interchanges between you and another can make it much less difficult to shift from negative ways of relating to positive ones that help form more profound loving bonds that can help create a better life and relationship for all concerned.
Three Types of Energy Field Interactions that we highlighted in this show were:
(Note each of these types can be either a positive or negative force depending on one’s basic energy signature, intention, unresolved issues or stress)
1. Harmonic Induction: Adjustment of vibratory rates
AND, just in time for those holiday gatherings with friends and family Next Monday Dec. 13 @ 10 A.M. we will be continuing our discussion with Holiday Relationship Rescues.
In this show we will talk more about how to take charge of your energy and make those three types of energetic interactions positive for you and others. In addition, we will be introducing four patterns that are used to maintain control, fill up energy reserves and attempt to get needs met. As with the three types of energy flows between people, these patterns can have a positive or negative influence. It is your awareness, knowledge and ability to manage your energy that makes the difference. So don’t go to that holiday gathering unprotected and unprepared —learn what is going on beneath the surface of those social dynamics and you can sail through the holidays energized, rested and able to truly enjoy the season!
Peg, Tony and I would love to have you join us for our radio show on Monday Dec.7, 2009 at 10 A.M. – our topic will be The Energy of Relationships. We will be discussing the energy of attraction as well as the common energetic flows between people that can help or harm relationships. Through understanding these invisible dynamics and how to shift them, we can improve all our relationships, personal and professional. If you cannot join us live the show is recorded and available for listening later. http://www.divatoolbox.com/diva-toolbox-radio-/hosts/2007-peg-donahue-and-karen-kallie-living-energy.html
We have been recreating the role of relationship in our lives for sometime now. Energy has a great deal to teach us about how we can enhance participation in our relationships to make our own lives happier and more fulfilling, and it seems according to Barbara Max Hubbard that we may also be able to bring more creativity to the world through high energy relationships! Take a look at the video—what do you think?
Each strong thought or emotion creates a response in your energy field
Fear & stress reactions tend to vibrate more intensely and easily
Disturbances in your field cut you off from higher level functions
Habitual thought and feeling patterns affect body’s energy, health & well being
Inconsistencies in energy field show where disturbances may manifest in future
Changing thought patterns takes persistence
Changing emotional patterns takes will and strength
Working directly with energy & consciousness provides you with an easier and more powerful method for change, health, development of higher level functions and achievement of goals
When you understand and manage your energy you can offset field disturbances and introduce a healthy pattern e.g. shift frequency, enhance coherence, dissolve blocks to assist with healing or avoid illness. You can physically bring in new energy at the pre cellular level and create new patterns.
Your energy field is your primary immune system and you can learn to support and strengthen it so it will serve you in every facet of your life!
As youwork with your field, enhancing its strength and coherency, you’re not locked in to energy patterns unconsciously. This means you can adapt to circumstances and flow with life more easily. This ability provides you with a profound sense of empowerment anda deep inner peace in addition to the health and relationship benefits!
The ability to manage your energy is a major bonus in attracting healthy relationships, as well as in maintaining them and being able to create deep and lasting bonds.
Join us for our radio show on Diva Toolbox on Monday Dec. 7, 2009 as we discuss how energy operates in relationships and how you can use the magic of energy to not only attract, but to sustain and build healthy, happy and rewarding relationships.
