My Rx for Living

Pay attention to your life. What do you enjoy? After you do something, notice your reaction, how do you feel? Ask yourself what it is that you want, not what you don’t want. Life coach Kath Schnorr works with those interested in finding their passion and directs them to take action. On “The Healing Chick Show,” host Lisa Grunden welcomed Kath and the pair discussed how to create a life of passion and fulfillment.

For many women who want to make changes the first step Kath suggests is to start by thinking about yourself each day. Take 10 minutes to exercise, take a walk, sit outdoors with a cup of tea. “Open for more creativity, more answers,” she said. “Schedule time on your calendar. Taking time for ourselves makes us feel better. There’s something that magically happens when you listen and honor that intuitive voice inside yourself,” she said. When taking those special minutes, ask yourself tough questions, then really listen and do nothing. She said it’s difficult to do absolutely nothing. It creates discomfort. “Sit with your discomfort,” she said. “That’s when the magic can begin.”

Once ideas begin to bloom, change is the next step. Kath has three tips to help make changes.

1. Tell the truth… You cannot change what you don’t know. If it’s not the truth, it loses its power.
2. Listen to divine messages… Instead of sending messages, take time to listen. You will be able to live your life more easily.
3. Trust yourself… Follow through, act on those messages. Honor the divine in your life.

Kath said to follow the bouncing ball. “Follow what makes you happy,” she said. Getting clear with your vision doesn’t mean that you must know how it’s going to happen. It is more important to know the “what” than the “how.” Be open to all the possibilities. “In our little box we can miss so many things,” she said, “like the funny things and enjoying life.” Lisa agreed. She said that children laugh about once every four minutes which adds up to about 600 times a day. Adults laugh less than 20 times a day. “Just as you are reaching out to your future, it will be reaching out to you,” Kath said. “Be open.”
There are certain things that can’t be changed. Kath is mother to a down syndrome child. That gift has taught her to enjoy and appreciate the little things. She said she got curious and opened up. She asked herself, “why is this happening to me and where is the gift in this. The same is true of the past. It can’t be changed. But you can look for the gifts, the lessons. She said to remember that life is happening for you not to you.

Kath offers coaching to all women. She said, “every woman should have a coach.”

“Stickability (of or pertaining to sticktoitiveness“) was the message from Kris Hardy on the “Healing Chick Show.” After being diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 7, Kris has become a keynote inspirational speaker and “stickability” coach. Because she has overcome many obstacles using planning and perseverance, Kris leads by example and experience. “Keep plowing ahead. Don’t give up. You have more in you than you think,” she said.

Because the arthritis was creating physical disabilities, Kris was told by “authority figures” what she would and wouldn’t be able to do. They said she’d never drive a car, she’d not go to college, and there’d be many obstacles in her way. “I wouldn’t settle. If you want a job done, tell me that I can’t do it, and I’ll make sure it gets done … be creative and persevere,” she said.

Kris saw herself as a person with disabilities. “I had to recognize what was holding me back, and then stick with a process to work past it. Having a disability or handicap, as with most things that cause pain and difficulty, brings something good to our lives as well as the challenge. When we figure out what that is, we can use it to help us,” Kris said.

Everyone has scars that are invisible, hidden from the rest of the world -- emotional baggage that must be discarded. Our own voices can bring us down. Kris said her head trash made her wonder if someone with her disabilities could run a successful business? Would it be too much work? Would she make enough money? Such doubts can prevent action. “Take that first step, keep moving and figure out what you need to do next,” Kris said.

Kris’ “stickability” technique teaches her students how to begin to make the improvements they desire. “Stickability” has three components. First is the core -- who you are at heart. Second is the grip -- having a firm hold. Finally, and most importantly, is the foundation -- what grounds, connects and supports you -- who you lean on and who leans on you. Being too close to a situation can add confusion as the old saying goes, “you can‘t see the forest for the trees.” “Everything rests on the foundation,” she said. “You don’t have to know it all. Ask for help, and keep plowing ahead.”

After attending a seminar in Anaheim, CA, “The Healing Chick,” Lisa Grunden said she came back all “pumped up.” She learned that taking action can be difficult, but the seminar encouraged her when attempting to make changes to say, “hey -- let’s do this together.” Connect with others who will encourage you by joining meet-up groups and using internet options, such as Twitter, because one of the most difficult obstacles we face is our own inner saboteur and we need support for that fight.

It’s something we all do… sabotage ourselves, especially when we’re trying to make a life change. On “The Healing Chick Show,” Lisa shared what an inner saboteur might say ... “What, are you crazy, give up my comfort food, my crutch?” She described how the “good” part says back, “I can do it. I can lose that 70 pounds.” Then that rebel, “yeah-but,” kicks in and finally wins the battle. Lisa said that we all have beliefs, some of them learned and others built over years in the family belief system on a cellular level. It’s time to get in touch with that saboteur.

“That little voice that says -- yeah but -- is what is keeping you safe, but it really isn’t working very well,” Lisa said. Get in touch with that saboteur. Think about the courage and strength he exhibits, what persistence he musters to keep his agenda in tact against all odds. “Sit down and chat about it like you might have a chat with a dear friend. Give him a name like Johnny or Suzi or Cupcake,” she said. Tell your saboteur that what worked before isn’t working any more. Say what you want to the saboteur … I appreciate you getting me to this point. I’m full of gratitude. I honor the part you’ve played in my life. Now I want to use your courage, strength and persistence to get different results … “Imagine all of that energy on your side. Keep going and knocking on that door,” Lisa said.

Bright, shiny objects are those things that tantalize, tease and take us away from the current moment. Become aware of those bright, shiny objects and the effect they have. They can even be thoughts that nag and distract us from sticking to our resolve. When you run out of steam, ask yourself what you want to see today, tomorrow, 30 days from now, next year … ? “Make a plan of action and keep your support system near,” she said, “a body in motion tends to stay in motion. Let’s roll with it.”

A baby smiles a big smile and laughs an infectious laugh, just seeing a baby feels, like, Wow! Something totally opens up,” said Lisa Grunden on “The Healing Chick Show.” Her guest Cliffe Connor agreed. “It’s angelic -- being around one who hasn’t been programmed by the world yet -- with no overlays about what he or she should be. That’s angelic energy,” he said.

Cliffe said that the Law of Attraction is not the beginning of creation. There are two things that have to occur before attraction can be enacted. First radiation is the beginning point of form -- physical, emotional and mental creation starts with something radiating. “Call it God or love or a tree,” he said. Then there is a response. The response allows the radiation to come through in a purposeful way. At that point attraction comes in. The response leads to attraction. Finally is unified radiation, which starts the process over on a higher level. “One and one make three,” Cliff said, “a mom and a dad create a baby, a new way, and then the process begins again.”

When people use the Law of Attraction to get things it reflects a want and a lack. It assumes that there is something missing. It is like praying a prayer of want and need. Another way of bringing what we need is by praying a prayer of thanksgiving and abundance, Cliffe said.

Albert Einstein said, that a problem cannot be solved at the level at which it was created. Cliffe said, “I have to be above the problem, where I have greater vision. I an see more from the mountaintop than I can from the valley.” Perspective is important. That’s why crime and drug problems are not being resolved. People are trying to solve them on the level they exist, not above it, not from a perspective outside the problem.

Vibration is important. Love vibrates at a high level. So does science and spirituality. But things like depression, sorrow, victim- hood vibrate on a lower level, Lisa said. It’s just like being stuck in judgment. Then things are constantly in a state of being good or bad. “We need to accept individual responsibility using the creation process. What you attract with judgment, at best, what is attracted doesn’t have much weight to it, and at worst, it brings the same judgment back,” Cliff said. A sense of thanksgiving and learning to master the ability to let love radiate without manipulating the results creates prosperity and brings what is wanted and needed with thanks and abundance.

“The Healing Chick Show,” with Lisa Grunden welcomed Feng Shui practitioner, Reiki Master and Life/Spiritual Coach, Katie Haley. “Get rid of it. If it’s not doing you any good, get rid of it,” Katie said. Clutter can stand in the way of progress, so clean things up and let go of what isn’t being used. “Sometimes we attach ourselves to things, either mentally or emotionally, that prevent us moving forward.” She advised listeners to ask themselves what they are holding onto, to look around and notice their clutter. Then meditate about it, acknowledge it, thank the obstacle for the lesson -- then let it go.

Feng Shui has been used for 5,000 years to define the energy flow in the home as well as assigning a given area of a house a particular life theme. For example, Katie described two specific areas of the home. Stand at the front door and the area that is the far, left, back corner of the house is the “wealth” area. The far, right, back corner is the “relationship” area. “Feng Shui is the easiest place to start when you want to improve a relationship,” she said, “or if you are looking for a partner.” Post photos or other objects with pairs, such as a painting of two people or figurines of couples or anything that represents partners in your relationship area. Add water, too. A fish tank with two swimming fish is often used.

But don’t stop there in working on your desired relationship. The bedroom is the relationship room, regardless where it is located in the home, so making it warm and inviting is important. “Keep it neat and organized. Put a nightstand on each side of the bed to make the space ready for a partner,” she said. “It is more balanced with two nightstands, and if you scoot one side of your bed against the wall there is no space created for the person you want to attract.”

In the wealth area she suggested using water. Water represents abundance and health, especially moving water. “In your wealth area, you might want a fountain to encourage the positive flow,” she said. Staying positive is important, too. Katie suggested that people stop listening to the “fear-based” media. “TV is not doing us any favors,” she said, “with the economy and the stock market news, it’s like hearing the sky is falling. When you do hear people talking about it, try to bring out the positive.” What we put our minds to is what we will get. Watch the words we use, she suggested. “Focus on what we want, not what we don’t want. Tell yourself that you already are not that you are wishing to be,” she said. “Thoughts are energy. Energy can be strengthened. Thoughts can be changed. It has already happened…Yes I can! Anything can happen.”

Sailing away from Fiji into the setting sun dolphins danced in front of the boat. “They led us out of the channel and into the ocean,” said Karen Mehringer author of, “Sail into Your Dreams: Eight Steps to Living a More Purposeful Life.” She transformed moments on “The Healing Chick” show as she described her own transformation. Sailing from Fiji to Singapore, Karen and her husband spent six months on their 46 foot boat. The pair released the work-a-day world for a moment-to-moment simple life.

In 1998 Karen and her husband lived in Seattle and held corporate jobs. They had stock options, lived in the suburbs, had their dream cars in the garage, but they felt like they were dying inside. They would get home, exhausted, after work and plop down in front of the television for hours. To change things, they quit their jobs and went sailing. Once the decision was made their plan began falling into place. Karen said it was providence in action.

The experience was life-transforming. “There was no TV, no cell phones or internet. We could hear our own voices. Being in the moment, watching the sunset, washing dishes by hand, being separate from all the ‘stuff’ allowed us to go within which is the only way to find peace,” she said. Even a storm at sea stirred her sense of purpose. As waves, eight to ten feet high, broke over the stern of the boat, she held fast to a rail and jammed her toes tightly into a wall. She was terrified but exhilarated, too. “I never felt so alive -- getting to land at the other side of the storm,” she said.

Karen said that seeing the simple lives of the Fijians left a real impression. She and her husband had hiked across the island. After a long trek they began to hear music. They found 200 costumed Fijians in ceremony. After accepting an invitation to partake of the celebration she noticed two things -- these people were poor, and they were the happiest people she’d ever seen. They were smiling and had a sparkle in their eyes even though they lived in huts and had little to eat.

She has learned that she can find that peace, even in the busy world, if she makes an effort to slow down every day. She suggests singing, meditation or yoga, something simple, to keep in touch with the inner self. “We are creative beings,” she said, “we are always creating anew. It’s not about the destiny but the journey.” Of the eight steps that Karen describes in her book, step number four says, “sail away from the safe harbor. Take risks. Often fear will come up. Just keep showing up.” She said, “it’s not some big, grand thing, but a bunch of little steps. Go for it. Life’s too short.”

The Healing Chick has popped out of her shell with the opening of her first show on Real Coaching Radio Network. Lisa Grunden is, “The Healing Chick.” With her fiery, entertaining personality she used a garden analogy to inspire and motivate us to care for ourselves as individuals. Her health-based show provided the nutrients we need to grow healthy lives.

Just as a farmer prepares the soil, sows his seeds, waters them and provides nutrients, we must nurture ourselves. “The seeds are your visions, dreams and goals,” she said, “take little steps every day and add nutrients to help those plants grow.” She had the dream to move to Denver, Colorado and she finally arrived about six months ago. With the help and support of her loved ones, she started her own radio show which was all part of her vision.

She said that we often look for instant gratification and crops don’t grow overnight. Take the time to enjoy watching the crops grow. Light is needed for gardens, too. Sometimes when there isn’t enough light it slows the process. It‘s the same when we get into a dark place, such as when things don’t go as we want or expect. She said when that happens to stop and breathe -- “Move that stagnant energy through your body -- eat, drink water, move, get that energy flowing. Laugh! Go to a joke web site.”

Another thing we can do to get the energy flowing is to use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). She demonstrated how to tap on specific acupuncture points that spark energy flow. When a caller asked her what might help her recurring headaches, Lisa went through the acupuncture points to release the blockages that create pain and other difficulties. Lisa said you can tap on just about anything and it will help. If you’re running a marathon and don’t think you’ll be able to finish, you can tap and run to make it to the end.

Lisa’s favorite word is, “YES! Y-E-S!” She says we hear, ‘no’ too often. It’s like thinking about all the things we don’t have or that have not gone the way desired or expected. Take little steps to change things, breathe. When we take big gigantic steps we burn out too quickly. Set a time to do each thing you have planned, and take action. Get what you want. “Sometimes it’s not packaged the way you expect. It can be way more or just the beginning of your dream. I challenge you: Instead of saying what you didn’t do, say, ‘I made someone smile today,’ or play with children,” she said.

Nurture yourself and your dreams just as the farmer nurtures his garden. She said decide what you want for yourself. Write it down. Make it real. It’s that little bit that we do everyday that brings results. Remember that we can’t do everything by ourselves. Ask for help from others who support you. Every step we take either takes you where you want to go or away from it. She said, “transform that no into a ’yes!”

Join, “The Healing Chick,”every Friday at 3:00 pm Eastern.
