I thought I would put your CD on to listen to while I went about my chores. At some point, I was moved to sit down on a comfortable chair and close my eyes. As I listened to the CD I was surprised to realize that I was effortlessly meditating. It was a very powerful experience.</p><p>I have a close friend in England who is very ill with the last stages of cancer. I sent her your CD as a gift to use to relax. She has been listening to it for 6 months now and says it is the only thing she can do to cleanse her mind of negative thoughts and concerns.</p><p>I have been a very light sleeper for years. When I put on your CD I drift off to sleep and don&rsquo;t wake up until the morning. I sleep soundly all night. I have never heard the end of the CD when listening to it at bedtime. I&rsquo;ve had to make a point to hear the last tracks during the day!</p><p>My friend has the pasty ill look about him that is often associated with the symptoms he is experiencing with cancer. He came to visit me one day after I was meditating with your CD. He said, &ldquo;You are literally glowing!&rdquo; I asked him to visit me the next day and meditate to your CD with me. After experiencing the whole CD, he opened his eyes, turned to look at me and said, &ldquo;You are glowing again!&rdquo; I looked back at him and told him to go look in the mirror. He was excited to see that his body with flushed with healthy color and discover his body felt lighter and stronger. I made a gift of the CD to my friend and he continues to use it as part of his cancer therapy.</p><p>From a healing therapist: Today I had a client who was in incredible emotional turmoil. As I often do, I put on the last track of your CD to help bring a sense of calm and balance at the beginning of a session. When &ldquo;Harmony&rdquo; was over, with the client now able to close her eyes and visibly relaxed, I selected the first track, &ldquo;Clearing&rdquo; and continued the session. The client commented later that she was able to visualize for the first time and allow the emotional pain that she had been experiencing to release from both her physical and emotional body.</p><p>I am always honored to hear these stories and hope that you find the CD to be of potential benefit to you as well.&nbsp;</p><p>Blessings, Julie</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/8/23/dream-studio.html"><rss:title>Dream Studio</rss:title><rss:link>http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/8/23/dream-studio.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Julie</dc:creator><dc:date>2007-08-23T03:51:35Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A definite addition to any collection of meditation or healing CDs whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner.&nbsp;&nbsp;Julie&rsquo;s guided meditations accompanied by her angelic voice provide the listener with a deep sense of relaxation, wholeness and possibility.

There is the discovery of which path feels right at the moment, when it is time to release something that is no longer working or step out on a new path, and there are the inner discoveries of who you are, the dawning awareness that as you release pain and emotion you grow into a person that has more depth and awareness. </p><p>Healing Touch is one of the less invasive forms of healing body and mind. Wellness occurs by attempting to balance the subtle energetic field of the body and return the live-force to its natural state. Healing Touch outwardly appears to be working with the physical body. To an observer there is a gentle touch and even when a practioner&rsquo;s hands move off of the body, the client relaxation is obvious to the viewer. Breathing becomes deeper and even, there may be a sigh, the facial features soften and the muscles of arms and legs relax.</p><p>The human experience has many layers. Ranging through the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual layers is a linking process that can be accessed through tapping into the potential of energy healing. And that is the magic of Healing Touch. As subtle energy moves though your physical body it also is touching upon layers that, although not physical, make up the totality of who you are and how you operate through your life. </p><p>As the whole of the body becomes balanced, your reality can also change. This is called personal growth and can be one of the positive side-effects of Healing Touch. For example, whereas once you might have made choices that caused you inner anguish, after experiencing the balancing effect of Healing Touch sessions you may have gained inner awareness and clarity and now make lifestyle choices that add to your wholeness and self empowerment. As you move forward with clarity and awareness you will find you no longer react to people and events in ways that are damaging to either yourself or others.</p><p>Healing Touch is an important aspect of self care. Balancing of the body&rsquo;s subtle energy field helps the various layers of your self remember who they are and how they best work together. This is a positive move forward and you can&rsquo;t argue with the evidence, its also super relaxing!</p><p><a href="http://www.messagestoself.com/">www.messagestoself.com/</a></p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/8/17/healing-touch-conference.html"><rss:title>Healing Touch Conference</rss:title><rss:link>http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/8/17/healing-touch-conference.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Julie</dc:creator><dc:date>2007-08-17T04:07:46Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to Bev, Leone and Anne for helping to sell the Notes to Self CDs at the Healing Touch Conference in Barrie, Ontatio.&nbsp; Just look at their beautiful smiles!</p><p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 192px; height: 144px" alt="HTAC%20Conference%20Pictures%20014.jpg" src="http://messages.squarespace.com/storage/HTAC%20Conference%20Pictures%20014.jpg" /></span><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 320px; height: 240px" alt="HTAC%20Conference%20Pictures%20012.jpg" src="http://messages.squarespace.com/storage/HTAC%20Conference%20Pictures%20012.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1187324487140" /></span></p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/6/28/thanks-from-donna.html"><rss:title>Thanks - from Donna</rss:title><rss:link>http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/6/28/thanks-from-donna.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Julie</dc:creator><dc:date>2007-06-28T03:37:16Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think your CD is wonderful and sooo relaxing and I can't believe how clear the toning is.

The sound healing on this CD is quite <br />powerful. I look forward to Julie's presentation where I believe she will do <br />some toning for the group and have her CD's available for sale. I have found <br />her work to be vibrationally powerful for healing for myself and with client <br />sessions.

Relaxation is healing to your body and your mind.</p><p>A basic and effective form of relaxing is meditation. While it has become common knowledge that meditation may affect genuine physical responses such as lowering blood pressure and reducing pain, meditation also has additional psychological benefits such as reduction of stress and anxiety and an increased feeling of well-being. </p><p>Although we all know about the benefits of meditation, many of us simply don&rsquo;t feel we are able to take time to sit quietly or don&rsquo;t believe we have the ability to focus and concentrate. The easiest and quickest way to obtain the benefits of meditation is to take a few minutes, sit or lie down comfortably, and listen to a guided meditation on tape or CD. As you follow simple directions you will feel your body and mind begin to ease. </p><p><strong><em>Guided meditations can enhance your personal healing journey</em></strong>. When I lead meditations, I will often encourage visualizing the body as a channel connected to the energetic forces of the Universe and the healing vibration of the Earth. While deeply relaxed, a person is also deeply connected to their essence and able to enlist the vibrational forces for healing.</p><p>The effect of vibrational medicine is further enhanced through bringing toning into the meditations to help support the energy centers of the body. Toning uses the vibration of the human voice to positively affect the energetic flow of the body. Toning also focuses the mind, helping you to slip into the space of wholeness and higher awareness - your true Self. </p><p>Recreating harmony in the body, mind and spirit through the effects of sound vibrations is a centuries old tradition by various peoples. The resonance of Tibetan singing bowls, the words of mantra spoken in the Hindu traditions and the songs and drums of shaman healers are still effective healing methods to this day.</p><p>The followers of Pythagoras used music to cure dysfunction of the body and disturbances within the psyche. Pythagoras was a philosophical mathematician who taught, among other things, that there was an inter-relationship between the various parts of universal creation and sound. </p><p>Science is now re-discovering the benefits of both vibrational healing and meditation. The combination of toning and guided visualizations can help to shift brain waves into alpha and theta states, putting the body and mind into a state of relaxation which is highly conducive to healing. </p><p>As you step forward on your healing journey, you begin to gain a clarity about who you are, a sense of wholeness and a return to your authentic Self. Make your life a living meditation. Bring your awareness back to center again and again, focusing on the health and reality you wish to create. <strong>Create your Reality, Right here, Right now.</strong> </p>Julie Pelzer is active in her local Healing Touch community. She recently recorded a CD of guided meditations and toning entitled, Notes to Self. Julie is currently focused on developing more tools to encourage the expression of the authentic Self which is the foundation of healing body, mind, spirit and soul.

No matter what direction you find your Self traveling, your physical body, your mind and spirit are so closely connected that any route you choose will positively affect all aspects of your being. </p><p>If you have some form of illness, finding a new approach to healing often creates an opening for the experience of personal growth in ways that you may never have expected. If you start to address personal issues such as fears or stress you may be pleasantly surprised to find relief in areas of your physical body that had been expressing pain or discomfort. </p><p>Some of the less invasive forms of healing body and mind can occur by attempting to balance the subtle energetic field of the body and return the life-force to its natural state. You may be drawn to facilitate your healing journey through a form of vibrational medicine or one of the many alternative healing modalities. </p><p>You may choose nutritional or spiritual guidance, take an intriguing course, gain insight from someone you meet or read a book that inspires you to release old patterns of behavior. As you move forward with clarity and awareness you will find you no longer react to people and events in ways that are damaging to either your Self or others.</p><p>No matter how personal your healing journey, every step you take supports you in the return to wholeness and the closer you come to that place of wholeness the more clear you become about your true Self. When you allow your authentic Self to shine through you can expect to see many areas in your life, such as health and lifestyle choices, change in positive ways. <a href="http://www.messagestoself.com/">http://www.messagestoself.com/</a></p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/6/28/thanks-from-chris.html"><rss:title>Thanks - from Chris</rss:title><rss:link>http://messages.squarespace.com/journal/2007/6/28/thanks-from-chris.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Julie</dc:creator><dc:date>2007-06-27T03:01:29Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I want to thank you for bringing forth your gifts and creating this powerful CD for us all!
