Dear Melissa,
Letter From the Editor:
WHAT YOU NOTICE MATTERS! And, what I've noticed is that I'm getting better at describing my life purpose and my soulful intentions to others. How about you? Are you having the success you want in this area?
Ever since I got the powerful insight that visuals and awareness can play a vital role in informing our lives, I've tried to communicate this message in a way that is meaningful and clear. In the early stages of developing this conscious living philsophy, I often felt inept in my explanation. And, I wasn't sure if I was projecting a presence that reinforced my message.
Practice, practice, practice!
I recently was the featured guest on an Internet Radio Program called the Wellness Road show, hosted by Catherine Bradford. And, guess what? The conversation was fun, informative and it flowed! Yeah!
So take heart if you still struggle to communicate your soul's passion. This is a life process that is about ongoing refinement. As you grow, so does your message to clients and friends. Of course, the way you live and model your passions is the best way to clearly communicate to others what you believe. Only then do you powerfully project a presence perfectly in sync with your message.
If you'd like to listen to the radio broadcast, follow this link and look for "What You Notice Matters!" under "recent shows." You'll receive a gift when you listen and follow the instructions at the end.
Happy Dog Days of Summer!

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EZINE TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT ENJOY IT.

| Meet Energy Healer Gloria Two-Feathers |
 |
What you notice first about Gloria Two- Feathers is her warm and inviting smile. She shines with a generous nature that extends to her easy conversation, and the happy energy of sincere interest.
The Role of Energy Healing Such attributes serve her well in her work as an energy healer instructor at her Earthwalk School of Energy Healing in Woodinville, WA, where students come from all walks of life (massage therapists, registered nurses, radiologists, veterinary technicians, teachers, engineers, artists and stay-at-home parents) to obtain a broader view of the body, mind, and spirit role in the healing process. They arrive eager to comprehend the causes of illness and to develop their intuitive self and creative focus, in addition to developing their healing energy.
Some students are from the alternative medicine field, or traditional medicine world, and want to supplement their current work by adding their understanding or practice of another healing modality. Some students are attracted to energy healing because they want to learn how to more to positively influence their own healing.
Energy Healing and The Law of Attraction Making the most important point first, Gloria explains that all we are is energy (the law of attraction) and everything is in vibration. In humans, thought has the highest/fastest vibration, followed in descending order by light, sound, smell, taste and physical manifestation.
"Our physical senses can both create illness and create health. A particular smell (diesel) may bring on a headache, and another smell (an essential oil like lavender) can be used to deliver relief. Energy healers look at what disrupts energy in specific parts of the body and then "reconstructs" that energy so that it is vibrating at a healthier level, " Gloria explains.
Awareness of Her Personal Path Gloria began her own journey into energy healing as the result of several "defining moments" in her life. As a teenager she read books by authors like Ruth Montgomery, Edgar Cayce, Arthur Ford and a complicated Native American text called Black Elk Speaks. Once, after talking to a bookstore owner about it, her friend said "Wow, you really understand that!" At the time Gloria, thought "I do, doesn't everyone?" It was the first incident of many in which topics like the power of color, aura fields, and the chakra system (energy centers of the human body) were being presented to her, very nonchalantly from people who came in and out of her life: a waitress, a hair stylist at cosmetology school.
I became aware that there was great learning in these situations. I was learning from kindred spirits," says Gloria.
Awareness of One's Calling In The World In her thirties, she became a massage therapist and was getting closer to accepting who she was. A critical defining moment occurred when a gentleman came to her for a debilitating leg problem that traditional doctors could not determine a cause for. He told her, "You know, the word on the street is that more is going on here than massage, that there's some magic healing going on here."
That encounter (she successfully resolved his issue) took her awareness of her special healing ability to another level. From her uncle, a spirit elder, she was taught native ceremonies and how the spirit worked. All the things she had learned over the years were coming together. So she put a request out to the Universe: If I'm supposed to do this, find me a teacher!
That's when she met her next teacher from the Inner Light Mystery School who would teach her how to use her physic abilities and teach her all about the chakra system, Reiki and color healing. It finally reached the point when the teacher said to the student, "I have no more to teach you. I'm learning from you now."
Today, the EarthWalk School is a pioneer in the field of energy healing education. It was the first Washington State Licensed Vocational Technical School for Energy Healing Certification. Contact Gloria at: gloria@earthwalkschool.com

| Confident Communications Awareness |
 |
Are you a business leader desiring to clearly convey your mission? Maybe you're an author trying to engage your audience in your heartfelt topic. Or a single person testing the dating waters. Perhaps you've made a commitment, an intention, to live your beliefs as boldly as possible. In any of these situations being confident in your communications is a huge asset.
Yet assuredness and clarity can be difficult when we run up against the following:
- polar opposite belief systems
- unfamiliar situations
- close-minded individuals
- new acquaintances or business contacts that make us nervous
- potentially unreceptive groups
- or situations, like networking, that have gotten a bit rote or stale.
In these instances, even those of you who are normally confident can question yourself and your ability to either energetically or calmly and cogently communicate to others your strengths, your core message, or your point of view.
As I emphasize in my Small Talk Savvy materials and speeches, one of best things you can do to feel confident is to know yourself in an assured, but not egotistical way. A highly- effective tool for achieving this relaxed confidence is to interview yourself. Yes, that's right, INTERVIEW YOURSELF!
This simple act will confirm in your own mind that you are an unique, interesting person with something to contribute to any conversation.
To get you started, here are a few questions you could ask yourself:
- What do you see as your purpose in life?
- What are you passionate about?
- What do you like best about yourself?
- Is there a personal quality that you're working on?
Why?
- What was the last thing that really cracked you up? Why did you find it so funny?
- What recently touched your heart?
- What would you change about your current life? Why? Would it make it simpler, more successful or more fun?
- What surprises you about your life?
- Who are your heroes or mentors?
- What do you look for in your relationships (work or personal)?
- What would you like to achieve next in your life? (as opposed to: "What would you like to achieve in your next life?"...although that's an interesting question, too.)
- How do you impact the lives of others?
- What was your last success (large or small, personally or in business)?
If you are interested in having more small talk confidence, get my Special Report: Making Meaningful Business & Personal Connections withSmart Small Talk. I'm offering this 50-page report for $10 to the first 50 people. This report is normally $21.95.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined; he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
Henry David Thoreau from Walden
