Kenny Loggins on relationships

Relationships was the topic of conversation between singer songwriter Kenny Loggins and Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters, Series 12.

In recent years of his musical career, Kenny teamed up with two other award-winning songwriters Gary Burr and Georgia Middleman, and the blend of voices is magical. (Watch and listen to "Dream" performance of the Blue Sky Riders.) He talks with Jennifer about how the magic happened and continues:

• Learn to expand in new ways; move into a place in life with convictions of the heart.
• Be present. Be transparent and completely honest. Tell the truth gently.
• Speak the truth and be with someone who wants to hear the truth.
• You need to have a willing partner.
• Start with a social agreement, a method of operation. Integirty is a primary objective. I answer to myself.
• Your first relationship is with yourself because that dictates your relationships with others. Do you love yourself?
• As we write the songs, we see what we stand for. I feel fully alive on stage.
• Live with your heart open. You need to have access to the heart to feel, to write. Just keep saying yes and see where it takes you.
• If you feel a spark, follow it. Explore it!

self healing

Chunyi Lin  is a certified international qigong master, the founder/creator of Spring Forest Qigong, and coauthor of the #1 Amazon.com bestseller, Born A Healer.

He recently spoke with Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters, Series 12. Snippets of his experience follow:

• Qigong helps transform energetic expression (pain to feel good).
• Everyone is born a healer.
• Flow or energy (love) has four basic elements:
• Breathing to connect the heart, mind and body.
• Power of mind.
• Gentle simple movements.
• Sound/vibration of voice to help open energy channels in the body.
• Most of the energy we get each day is from breathing. Take 15 minutes per day to breathe in/out 10 times per minute to this reduce stress and blood pressure.
• Normal breathing only exchanges 60% of air in lungs/body. Take slower deeper breaths to activate the love energy in your heart.
• Qigong is about you; it is not a religion although qigong techniques are used in some religious practices.
• Breathing includes the lungs and the skin.
• The voice is a powerful tool (chanting, singing, humming) because over 80 energy points in the mouth connect all over the body.

your expansion

One of the HWTM-12 speakers, Jo Dunning, offered some of the infinite possibilities for our souls’ expansion. If you listened in, here is a short list:

• Each of us is always connected to Source. Depending on our receptivity, we accept the connection to a greater or lesser degree.
• We are connected individually with our own vibration. What we do and interact with affects our vibration - how connected we feel.
• As our personal vibration goes up, we experience a greater connection - more conscious awareness to more easily receive.
• What we do impacts our personal vibrational resonance. We are the sum total of our beliefs, experiences and interactions.
• Spend time outdoors to release stress.
• Change consciousness by being aware where you are when you go to sleep. What is not resolved remains in your field to handle and is also incorporated into your personality.
• Be in peace, harmony, balance by focusing on something you love, a full-hearted loving place where you are peaceful.
• Clear old stories and negative thoughts.
• Address issues when they happen to clear them from your awareness and attention.
• Follow your own inner knowing. Tune within. All of us have intuition, inner knowing; it is subtle and deep within. The mind is loud and distracting you from inner peace and knowing.
• Breathe deep so receptors deep in your lungs feel peaceful and relaxed, reconnect to harmony and balance, decrease stress and discomfort.
• Stay focused and grounded in love and connection.
• Release worldly attachment and focus within - feeling, knowing and greater connection.
• The heart is a launching pad for higher awareness, thoughts, beliefs, experiences, change, and improvement. Find joy where you are to create a potential to move into a better place.
• Hold the knowing that all is well - deep within. The surface holds pain and loss.
• Loving acceptance of a presence we DO NOT like, completes its role of creating compassion for an experience - not judging - so it is free to move on.

music

Jon Griffin spoke with Jennifer McLean on Healing with the Masters - Series 12. Some great tidbits garnered from the conversation follow:

• Intention is your conscious awareness of vibrations you create and give to others plus what you choose to receive.
• Choose what resonates with you.
• Choose to co-create (what you believe is what you see) rather than exercise passive acceptance (what you see you believe).
• Hold an intention while aligning yourself with frequencies to resonate authentically with your core.
• Hold intention and move through frequencies allowing them to move through you - to create different kinds of alignment in your body.
• Every moment is an opportunity to realign, repattern and retune ourselves.
• Shower the ego with love through music.

Another way of making the point comes from the Abraham-Hicks workshop in Virginia Beach, VA on April, 12 1997.  "Your work is to go forth into this physical environment looking for things that are a vibrational match to joy, connecting to Source Energy, and then following with the inspired action."

transformational fitness and health

Masterworks Healing just completed a fitness and health series offering information for those who are proactive, responsible and preventive! You are powerful when you take responsibility for who you are spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally and so on. Fortunately, teachers are available to everyone through The Internet!

This time, Jennifer McLean brings us five experts who discuss functionality and easy ways to improve it (for men and women). Here is a brief description of the hour-long sessions:

• Sara Gottfried (natural hormones) - nutritional and lifestyle changes affect hormone balance; prayer and forgiveness lower cortisol; take proven herbal remedies; take bio-identical hormones is short-term low doses; take probiotics; stress management by changing your perception; awareness in each moment is the key to balance. (Visit Sara's blog)
• Caroline Sutherland (medical intuitive) - diet of mind and diet of body work together for a strong vital body so you can attract what you want; belief is the key; digestive enzymes; hormone balancing; daily exercise
• Ana Forrest (yoga) - learn how to ask better questions of your body; change breathing for vitality, attention and peace; get active; connect breathing then feeling, and live in truth; yoga work: tiger breath, relaxing the neck, and shoulder shrugs.
• Anat Baniel (physical movement) - map the area of the body to the brain: be aware of what you are doing and what you want; movement with attention; use your imagination, talk to your brain; slow down with exercise and movement so patterns get grooved in; give small changes in movement so brain detects small changes
• Marilyn Mercado (lymphatic system) - twice as much lymph as blood in the body; stress is the number one aggravator to lymph flow; lymph likes thoracic breathing; salt bath with baking soda; use a rebounder so that feet always touch it (before sleep) or use a large ball to bounce gently (before sleep); use a body brush on dry skin (before shower) brushing toward the heart in slow rhythmic motions a few minutes each day; wear tights when you fly to prevent swelling of your legs; the body responds to GENTLE, KIND treatment; lymph system meditation provided.

This was a gold mine of information for easy changes to make in daily routine, exercises, thought process, and nutrition. And, there is no charge for listening and making notes for self-improvement. The overall theme is to know thyself. Pay attention to body signals. Find ways to de-stress. Take time for you. No one knows better than you what you need to live joyfully. There are many paths to a joyful life, so take the time to find yours.

In closing, quality of life is measured by your level of joy in each activity. Always seek YOUR path of greatest joy.
