Welcome back, everyone. I am delighted to present the September edition of my newsletter. My aim is to provide you with informative and engaging content. Thank you for your continued support.

As autumn approaches, most people are busy preparing for the upcoming months. It's important to take a step back and appreciate all the hard work we've put in thus far. Whether at work or in our personal lives, we have been proactive in accomplishing some projects and goals. Now is the perfect time to slow down and appreciate the fruits of our labour.

Remember to take some time to enjoy the changing leaves, the crisp fall air, and the sun's warm glow as it sets earlier each day. Embrace this season as a time of reflection, gratitude, and growth.

Today we'll explore 'How to Build and Maintain a Healthy Ego.'

How many times have you heard someone say that the ego is bad? It has the reputation of being the bad guy. Is this true?

I appreciate your continued support and value your feedback.

Using Stones to work with your Chakras

A tool you can make for yourself is choosing stones to represent the seven chakras, or some of you might prefer to work with the 12 chakras.

I had many individuals gift me with stones and crystals. At first, I wasn’t sure how I could best use them, but I did come up with the idea of choosing for each chakra a stone that I felt matched, either by colour or by what I felt represented that particular energy centre. I had so many stones that I used three sizes for each chakra. Small size represents that there are blockages; mid-size symbolizes that there has been growth and healing but still requires more healing. The larger stone means having healthy and balanced energy. I placed all these stones into a cloth bag to pick one without seeing which stone I took.

Some days, when I’m unsure why my body doesn’t feel balanced, I’ll pick two stones. They show me which chakras aren’t flowing as well as the others. If you want, I’ve provided a chart with a fair amount of information, but there are many to choose from online.

I hope this will be beneficial to you as you continue your journey.

Today’s Topic

 ‘How to Build and Maintain a Healthy Ego.’

An unhealthy ego is like a shield protecting us from the outside world, but it also prevents us from loving ourselves and our lives. The low-strength ego will tell you to stick to what's comfortable, to avoid uncertainty, and to have unrealistic expectations of yourself and others. Also, when you criticize and judge yourself or others, you lose motivation and become unhealthy. A strong ego finds balance in moderation.

Your ego is your character and an essential part of your being. Instead of weakening your ego, consider exploring and developing your character, which would be your healthier self. It's beneficial to relate to life based on ego development instead of ego destruction. A strong ego doesn't mean putting oneself above others; it means taking ownership of one's character and being motivated to continue to develop and grow.

Here are some ways to develop and maintain a healthy version of yourself.

Honesty: Stop hiding the beauty within and aim for who you want to be. Imagine a healthier version of how you wish to evolve, and find ways of living in such a way to reflect it. Dare to follow a unique path by being honest about your feelings and choices.

Courage: To desire and seek personal improvement by continually pushing yourself to face your fears instead of shrinking away from them. It'll give you more options to choose from. Throughout the day, pay attention to whether you choose to remain open or to be defensive. The question is whether the decisions you've made feel right for you at this time.

Exploration: Be open to experimenting and trying new things. It will open the door for your ego to learn, love, dive in, and explore new things. Be present by experiencing your life in the moment. Find ways to set up the conditions needed to accomplish your growth.

Acceptance: By accepting who you are, your ego will be more willing to embrace growth, which is part of the ego's journey.

Discipline: Develop an ego that identifies itself with good habits like regular exercise and being productive.

Connection: Develop your social skills to connect with others more easily without rescuing everyone around you. Learn how to surround your ego with social support that helps refine your positive qualities while chipping away at your unwanted attributes.

Our ego is an integral part of who we are as individuals. The ego is part of our character. Therefore, don't get rid of it; instead, focus on personal growth. Overcome the limitations of our low-strength ego and reach new heights of success and fulfillment with a healthy ego.

The next edition will be "Ego versus Intuition: How to Tell the Difference."

An Update

 In December 2002, I became a licensed Massage Therapist, and over the years, I began to develop my unique skill sets, which included using my intuition. My goal has always been to find new ways to help my clients heal.

During the lock-downs in 2020/21, I took advantage and began to research and explore what could help my clients find a new sense of freedom. I realized how many body systems needed to be included for the most effective treatment.

It was then that I created what I call 'Multi Sensory Bodywork.' The treatment encompasses various skill sets, where I connect with the inner dialogue of the body to choose the best techniques for one’s well-being. When I became confident that this process would enrich the client’s experience, I offered it to them. Three were happy with the old way, and one client chose not to try it. Everyone else now requests 'Multi Sensory Bodywork.'

I love how the 'Multi-Sensory Bodywork' continues to evolve into new tools that can be added to this process. If you live in Winnipeg or the surrounding area and would like to experience this bodywork, click the link to book now to schedule an appointment.
