The Lithuanian language is partly responsible for this newsletter also. My first language was not English, but Lithuanian, although I was born in America. Learning English was difficult for me. I remember wrestling at a young age with sentence structure and separating words into syllables. But once I got to know the English language, I really enjoyed being creative with it. And that creative delight continued through Boston University School of Public Communications, writing for a rock n roll newspaper, producing thousands of informative emails about holistic practitioners, and up to today.
So how did I personally delve into the holistic world? It started with meditation, suggested by a 12 step program. I’ll share more about that in the future. But my personal education and practices include not only facilitating meditation, but becoming a polarity practitioner, a Reiki master teacher, an EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques practitioner, and a hypnotist. There is a plethora of information inside me, beside my personal practices, garnered from 20+ years of producing a holistic wellness fair which has featured hundreds of amazing practitioners.
The community that grows through this newsletter will likely be a gathering of people who are already practicing holistic techniques, people who have heard a little and are eager for more, people who are seeking wellness through a variety of paths and old friends. I’ve already heard from a holistic friend from 15 years ago.
For now, I will publish a newsletter each Tuesday. If I really understand Substack, subscribers can expect to find it in their email box. The paid version will offer a reading of the post for now, as well as the ability to comment. I personally do most of my “reading” by audio, so I imagine that will appeal to some others. When you subscribe, you will be given several options to pay or not pay. I will be very happy if you subscribe without paying. On the other hand, if you want to encourage this work, you are welcome to toss a few coins this way.
Next Tuesday, we’ll focus on MEDITATION, a vibrant aspect of my practice just now.
Meanwhile, breathe…
