Holistic Health and Meditation:
Tools for Personal Transformation 

We all wonder about the mind-body connection.  The subtle links of interconnection often seem like a mystery, but in fact, they can be discovered by self-observation.

How do your thoughts and emotions affect the decisions you make, in how you care for your self, what you eat, how much you sleep, rest, exercise, play, and work?  In reverse, how does the condition of your body, affect your mood, your decisions, attitudes, and behavior?

Discovering these links, and becoming aware of the best decisions for your whole self, with all its components, is the basis of holistic health. In psychotherapy you can become aware of how levels of anxiety, depression or other emotional states, affect your ability to make choices, which are the best for you. 

Finding a balance in every area, in how we use our energies, helps us to live most productively and creatively. The kinds of thoughts we focus on, and the choices of who we spend time with, also influence our attitudes and behaviors. The ways in which we care for, or ignore, our own selves and bodies, reinforce ideas and beliefs we have, which might be limiting to growth and well-being.

If we have a growing awareness of the myriad of decisions we make in daily life, and how mood and thought patterns affect these decisions, we can become more productive, and less confined by old habits. Having more energy for the challenges of life, patterns of disorganization can be replaced by a more efficient use of your time and energy.

I can help you to develop practices in observation of yourself, ranging from breath work to meditation, to yoga, to working with negative and positive thoughts, in any combination, which works best for you.  These practices can become your own laboratory of observation and self-knowledge, which is an irreplaceable source of awareness, and inspiration for change and growth. Old habits, which are not helpful, can be replaced with new ones, which give you energy and contentment.
