Everything is made of ever-moving energy, including thoughts and emotions, it’s when energy gets stuck the damage happens.

equipment. I help people listen to their body’s messages,” she explains. Murlowski uses her many skills and


knowledge in Brain Gym, aromathera- py and holistic coaching to first release emotions within the limbic center before going deeper to release survival response from the brain stem. Her other tools are chromotherapy, crystal light therapy, healing touch, Raindrop Technique using Young Living therapeutic-grade essential oils, acupressure points and positive affir- mations to effectively release the negative emotional and mental patterns that have been stuffed into the mind and body. She redirects them into positive emotional responses, thoughts and expressions. “I don’t prescribe medication or tell clients to go off their medication—that’s between them and their physician,” Murlowski states. “Some have found after a few sessions that they can eventually get off some of their meds. It’s holistic ER.” Relief can be found in one to six sessions with a tune-up down the road. Brain/body tune-ups are not unlike car maintenance as with regular oil changes. When beliefs change, that’s when real progress is made. Sessions are one hour. Special introductory rate during the


month of November: three sessions for $180.

Grateful for EVERYTHING


Create an Attitude of Gratitude All Day Long


by Mary Lynn Ziemer T


he secret to happiness and finding the enduring joy we all seek is Thanksgiving—the simple act


of continually giving thanks. To real- ize wonderful positive outcomes, up to and including seeming miracles, do one thing: Show gratitude all day long. Seeing everything in a new light, through a refreshing prism of love and appreciation, imparts a deep inner well of peace, calm and joy, making us feel more alive. We can feel that way every day,


in every aspect of life, awaking each morning excited to create the day ahead and enthusiastic about each moment and then falling asleep at night embracing a profound feeling of gratitude for all the good we know and have. Happiness is contagious and be- comes an upward spiral of joy naturally shared with others. Start today by launching a daily


gratitude journal. This single action, the simplest and quickest way to get results, will foster a habit geared to change everything forever. It fills up our love tank, sparks success and benefits everyone. To embrace better relationships, health, clarity, life and tangible and intangible wealth:


n Set a daily time for journal writing.


n Pick a handful of things that prompt gratitude that day. Perhaps begin with people that support you in some way. Everything counts, from expressions of beauty to basic conveniences. Eventual- ly the daily list will grow, generating the joy of gratitude at ever-higher levels.


n It’s important to write with love and joy, because such feelings create your


world. Even if something’s a work in progress, like encouraging steps in a relationship, focus on what makes you feel good and want more of and you’ll start seeing more evidence of them.


n Elaborate in detail about a particular thing that earns extra gratitude. This car- ries more benefits from intense feelings than creating a list. When we see how blessed we are with what we already have, it creates more of what we are grateful for, generating an endless cycle of gratitude.


n Take notice of the surprises and little miracles that occur, and be sure to make note of them to evoke an even stronger level of awe and gratitude.


Robert Emmons, Ph.D., of the


University of California-Davis, a leading authority in researching the science of gratitude and its impact on well-be- ing, instructs his study participants, “Be aware of your feelings and how you ‘relish’ and ‘savor’ this gift in your imagination. Take the time to be especially aware of the depth of your gratitude.” In other words, don’t hurry through this exercise like a to-do list. An all-day-long attitude of grati-


tude ramps up our awareness of life’s pleasures. It takes an already good life to a whole new zone of zest.
