    Ask BR: How Can I Get The Most Out Of Using Affirmations, And What’s The Difference Between The Subconscious And Unconscious Mind?

    Hi Belleruth,

    I'm wondering about the most effective use of affirmations. For example, one of mine is:

    "Even though I sometimes have suicidal thoughts, I understand that these thoughts are symbolic of me wanting to make significant changes in how I feel about myself and how I see myself in the future. I allow myself to be the person that I have become and I accept where I am in life. I’m willing to grow and change.”

  4. Teach Your Children Well — But Remotely, Or In Person?

    Teach Your Children Well — But Remotely, Or In Person?

    Back in March, a good friend of mine had been right smack in the middle of a semester abroad, living out a dream and residing in the heart of Salamanca in Spain — and then the coronavirus hit. At first, she was hopeful that the threat would be minimal, that she could safely shelter in place, complete coursework online, and finish out the school year before returning home.

    The Key to Healing Shame; and How It’s Profoundly Different from Guilt

    I’m really happy we produced Emmett Miller’s exceptionally powerful, high-test guided imagery for healing shame. It’s arguably one of his all-time best meditations, ever. Please check it out.

    Now, although I agree with Emmett’s insights on Youtube about the difference between guilt and shame, I also adhere to the even more basic, old fashioned, rock-bottom, psychodynamic distinction between these two highly yucky feelings.

  7. The Power of Positive Affirmations

    The Power of Positive Affirmations

    Hello all,

    It feels so good to connect with you all once again. I’ve been wondering: how is your self-talk these days?

    I’m asking because as you probably already know, we engage in self-talk countless times a day, usually with little to no awareness that we’re doing this. Our self-talk creates an endless stream of affirmations that can either help or hinder us.

    8 Tips From an Introvert on How to Stay Home

    We found this article in Spirituality and Health by self-confessed introvert, S. Rufus, to be really smart, fun, well written, insightful and resonant, reflecting thoughts we’ve had, too.  And because we couldn’t figure out how to improve upon it, we’re just sharing it with you here. 

    So, what are you – introvert or extrovert? And how do these pointers strike you?  


    For loners, recluses, and other solitary types such as myself, sheltering-in-place feels natural and normal.

    The Unique & Successful Connor Integrative Health Network at University Hospitals Is Not Your Typical Anything

    A new hospital department of Integrative Medicine can be vulnerable to becoming siloed and separate from general patient care.

    The genius of the Connor Integrative Network (CIHN) at University Hospitals of Cleveland is that, as a network, it can be everywhere, seamlessly woven into the fabric of everyday patient and employee care.

    Champions of Whole Health Care are either recruited from specialties at the hospital or are hired outright. They are first-rate providers, chosen for their expertise, skill, commitment, and compassion.
