May2004newsletter

Dear Friends,

Welcome to May! Since the new year, my practice has undergone several changes, one of them being the introduction of this newsletter in new HTML format. I'd love to hear your feedback on the new look and content of my May newsletter. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested. It's easy to subscribe or unsubscribe---just click on the links at the bottom of the page.

Much of the new direction of my work over the past four months has been inspired by my clients. Below you'll hear more about my new training program in energy medicine, and I've also included two brief essays based on questions my clients had about their creativity and being an expert, and about handling the challenges of being highly intuitive, creative, and sometimes introverted. I hope you enjoy!

Have a wonderful spring

Love – Elaine

Energy Medicine

Many of you have already experienced on the spot energy work during my individual coaching sessions and intuitive readings. After so many wonderful results and such great feedback from my clients, I decided to expand my formal training in energy medicine. In March I began attending Alberto Villoldo's Healing the Light Body School. Now, not only can I help my clients manage their energy, I can also help clients release recurring emotional patterns. Please click on the link below to learn more about my training, and what I am now offering my clients.

Creativity and Beginners Mind

In the latest meeting of my Vein of Gold workshop we discussed the importance of approaching our creativity, and life in general with a beginners mind. When we become experts on our art, or our friends and family, or on life, we lose our ability to engage and to appreciate our lives fully. In reality, we cannot even know ourselves completely---we are each that much of a mystery. Creating with beginners mind becomes a way of ongoing self discovery, of awareness in the moment, and of fully embracing the world with freshness. By approaching our relationships in the same way, by acknowledging that we cannot know everything about another, we are able to be fascinated anew. Try beginners mind not just with your creative endeavors but with your partner and see if your sense of admiration for them increases. You may just fall in love all over again. I would love to hear about your experiences with beginners mind.

Are You Intuitive, Introverted and Do You Want More Intimacy in Your Relationships?

Are you highly creative but need plenty of down time? Is your inner landscape as defined or even better defined than your outer world? Do you sometimes know the feelings of others and what motivates them, without knowing how you know? You're probably an intuitive introvert. Intuitive introverts make up only a small fraction of the American population. We have enormous gifts and we've made grand contributions in both the arts and the sciences. We also have our challenges, including how we care for ourselves and our sensitivity. While we tend to have a small circle of close friends and we do extremely well as parents and partners, intuitive introverts share a typical relationship pattern that can lead us to push away our loved ones.
