You want to come in my life, the door is open. You want to get out of my life, the door is open. Just one request. Don’t stand at the door, you’re blocking traffic. (Author unknown)

Pretend to reconcile with a mate just to get back at an ex? That’s just playing with her heart and her kids’ hearts
In July 2011, I wrote about The ladies man who presents himself as a guru and a soulmate. A few weeks ago, his current fiancee made a Facebook post that she was heartbroken and devastated that he could leave her, literally bedridden, after promising he was brought into her life to help her heal from other physical problems. I know him to be a sociopath and a narcisscist. I sent a note of support and we had a brief private conversation. She wrote “he’s been with me pretty much 24/7 for over a year, so i know he’s not been cheating.” I knew he became engaged to her within weeks of leaving his last (secret) relationship. I didn’t need to tell her that. A day later she wrote on my FB wall, “Thank you, Andrea, I grew up a little bit more today.” A day later, she said she’d done her own research, including speaking with her ex. He’d convinced her that based on my intervention, they were now back together and had me to thank for it. It would be laughable in that I expected no less from him, laughable except that this is a woman’s heart and mind and health he is playing with. A woman with small children living in the same home with her. Under no circumstances is that funny.

How I Get In The Healing Vibe: Basking and Belly Breathing
A friend just finished a round of chemo and was feeling better. I said, It’s good to feel good, huh? It was cool last night so windows are open to the nature sounds. That’s always so healing for me: simply sitting, listening, feeling the air on my face, feeling how comfortable my body feels where I sit, knowing every day is a new possibility. So if I can take moments to just sit and bask in how good it feels in the moment, right now, I can make those moments last. That is what I find puts me in that receptive healing mode. It helps me to do deep circular breaths as well. I breathe in as deeply and fully as I can. I pooch my tummy out on the inhale and bring my navel to my backbone on the exhale. If I do a slow controlled exhale, the inhale will take care of itself. I raise my shoulders a little as I get to the deepest part of the inhale, to expand the lungs more. More oxygen to the cells= faster healing. It’s a really good anxiety reliever as well. This practice can accelerate your healing, getting more oxygen to your cells and clearing your mind. It sounds easy but daily breathing and meditation and appreciation can be a 12 hour a day job. If you do it right 🙂
