A Total Approach to Healing

Saturday July 7, 2007
The 93rd edition of the Carnival of Healing has been posted this morning at Real Woman's Fitness blog. Ramsay starts the carnival off by explaining her idea of real health. "To me real health is where you are healthy on the outside, inside and in your mind." She's another newbie host and I'm getting really excited about all the new bloggers signing up to pitch our carnival tents on their blogs. The carnival is traveling far and wide, spreading its healing message to more and more readers.

A few attractions from this week's carnival midway: Hugs to Isabella

I've met some wonderful and caring people through being the organizer of the carnival. I was surprised this week by Isabella Mori, change therapy - Isabella is a veteran carnival host. She gifted me with an e-certificate for a book of my choosing. This was a result of buyafriendabook.com's good Karma, good books initiative. Isabella asked me if her surprise "shocked the pants off of me." My honest answer is "Not really, I am not surprised to get an unexpected gift". But, I WAS pleasantly surprised to have one of my fellow carnies be the gifter. FUN! FUN! I actually do get little surprises, I call them unbirthday gifts, fairly regularly. Why? It's probably because I'm a great believer in both "giving and receiving." And, that's kind of what karma is all about, what comes around, goes around. I extend my gift-bearing hand outwards, and eventually the boomerang returns. The return "getting" is not the reason why I give to others, but "getting" is about being grateful and feeling deserving of thoughtfulness. Isabella, FYI, I was able to order 2 books using the ecert. The first was a out-of-print feng shui book that looks interesting. It is suppose to have a lot of great photos according to reader reviews. Good "chi" is as good as good karma! The second was a copy of The Four Agreements. I really love this little book. I like to have extra copies of it around to pass on to friends and clients. Thanks Isabella!

The Carnival of Healing is a weekly round-up of blogs across the Internet featuring information about healing, self empowerment, and spirituality.

This Week: More carnival attractions at Real Women's Fitness.
Looking Back: Last week the carnival was hosted at Becoming Your StellarSelf.
