  Because everyone deserves 

a meaningful life.

We all strive to find meaning and cultivate a sense of purpose.

• Purpose has been the focus of significant scientific research.
• Research has shown that purpose is correlated with health, wealth, and happiness.
• Research has shown that purpose can alter our perceptions.
• Research has shown that purpose just might be increased by perceiving connections in our world.

 Our ears are always open - we hear a plethora of sounds but are not necessarily listening. We may not even be aware that our ears are receiving this sound collage of stimuli.  Although sound is a profound force in our lives, few of us are aware enough to filter what goes though our ears directly to the brain. The more we understand and can exercise our sound processing in the brain, the better the brain becomes at making sense of sound and the world around us.  https://www.earthtonesmusic.org/music-resource-guide

Mindful breathing practices such as 4-7-8 breathing can produce what Harvard cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson called the relaxation response. 

1. Find a comfortable place to sit with your back straight. 
2. Place your tongue against the back of your top teeth and keep it there. 
3. Exhale completely through your mouth around your tongue, making a whoosh sound. Purse your lips if it helps. 
4. Close your lips and inhale through your nose for a count of four.
5. Hold your breath for a count of seven.
6. Exhale completely through your mouth making a whoosh sound for a count of eight. 
7. This completes one cycle. Repeat for three more cycles.

7 STEPS brings the chakra system, into  alignment  with  West­ern psychology.  By combining these two  powerful  thought  streams, we enhance  our ability to find peace,  harmony  and  a  happier life.  You can use the energy of these seven powers to get the best from yourself and your relationships and to find solutions within your deep, inner center of wisdom.  At the core of the seven steps, you will find the idea that we operate at different levels of consciousness which cor­respond to the chakras. The dynamic interaction of these levels determines the state, or stage, of our development. Those who are familiar with the seven chakras hold that we develop physically, emotionally, mentally and spir­itually as energy moves upwards through the system.

The idea of body energy or light representing the ulti­mate in spiritual development or holiness is an almost uni­versal symbol. From primitive man to the ancient Egyp­tians, Hebrews, Chinese, Indians and Europeans, the idea of energy centers within the human body is associated with healing and growth. Today medical advances that hold promise for the future include biofeedback, psychoimmu­nology and bioenergy techniques.
