Welcome to Open Heart Resources
I created this website to share my favorite healing resources and to expand awareness of the spiritual heart and holistic attitudes on life. I hope you enjoy it.
The Heart is open the degree to which we allow things to simply be what they are. From our hearts, we have clarity about “what is”, free of judgments and assumptions, and can take appropriate action to create balance and harmony. As our hearts open and expand, we have a healthy desire to understand and heal all aspects of ourselves, others and our environment in ways that are loving, natural and conscious. As we heal consciously, we find purpose and value for our life's experiences instead of regrets.
Life is an adventure when you live it with an open heart.

Holistic Counseling integrates intuitive wisdom with energy psychology to heal life and relationship issues from a spiritual perspective. It is our aim to empower people with experiential knowledge, helping them discern truth for themselves, make powerful choices, create healthy body/mind/spirit connections and extend peace.
Emotional distress and physical pain are not all in our heads. They are locked in the energetic pathways of our body. This is why years of traditional psychotherapy do not cure PTSD or phobias. Energy psychology techniques quickly release the trapped energy and bring about a perceptual shift in the subject of distress. I have seen miracles happen when I use them with clients.
Having taught many forms of yoga and many techniques of meditation, I have some that I prefer and find to be more useful or profound in their healing effect than others. I especially love heart and light based techniques, techniques that teach you how to experience other aspects of reality. Some cannot be written or learned from a book, but are “caught” when experienced with a teacher. Here are a few that you can read about.
These stories are teaching tales from my life experiences. When I have an experience that teaches me how to apply a spiritual principle to improve my life, I call it a “bookmark” and I refer back to it as a guiding principle on how to live my life. I am sharing these stories in hopes that they may be useful to others. I have also included some articles about often-misunderstood concepts, like forgiveness, that you may find interesting.
You have probably heard about “A Course in Miracles.” You may even have studied it. You may have heard about it through return “Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson, or from Oprah or another student of the Course. Perhaps, now is the time to join with others and go to the heart of it for an even deeper experience of its transforming influence. If you live in near me, you can come and join us as we study from the book “A Course in Miracles.” every Thursday evening. If not, you can probably find another group that meets near you. These groups are free resources available to everyone. I highly recommend the Course.
Holistic treatment looks at bringing our whole system back into balance with our environment as well as within ourselves. It’s not all in your head. Feeling good is not just affected by what you think. It is also affected by the state of your body: your nutrition, hormones, neurotransmitters in your brain, environmental toxins in your tissues, energy levels, environmental energy influences, social influences, mental stimulation, ability to relax, traumas, etc. So I have added this section products and information about natural ways to bring your body/mind into balance naturally. I only mention products that I personally use and recommend. I will be adding more products and technologies as I find ones I especially like.
