Wellness, Relaxation, Meditation...and much more!

Training, Resource, Wellness!


September is fast approaching and a lot of us are busy planning and scheduling our fall activities.

Simply, One Breath At a Time, can be part of your training and resource tools.  It offers 65 guided relaxations to refresh your body and soul. It’s full of different titles to ease you into wellness, relaxation, meditation, gratitude, stillness, or just being with the breath.

Just think of yoga teacher training and the students taking this book away to use in their classes, or for any yoga class and home practice.   

Reiki Level One training focuses on self healing and sharing with others.  Reflexology also promotes self healing. This book was written for that purpose, and it would be a wonderful addition to any training package.

The book uses simple words and thoughts to help reduce stress and encourage presence and awareness.  It can go anywhere and be used by anyone interested in bringing wellness into their own lives, or the lives of others.

Namaste.

"Simply One Breath At a Time offers us such simple truths of how to live this life with presence and ease.  This book is both practical and beautiful in its expression.  Author Dona Anderson writes with clarity about a subject she loves, the power of breath and relaxation.  Open it anywhere and begin to feel happier and healthier in your skin.  Recommended for everyone."

Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., PT, has taught yoga since 1971 and is the author of eight books, including the latest, What We Say Matters.

Rumi Quote

Rumi quote


I have posted a few of Rumi's quotes this last year, and the first one was even before I had the winter course.  I had even put one in the new book I'm working on.

After I did the previous posts with Rumi poems I decided I'd let the next few find me.  Anyway, I got the new book  by Dr. Wayne Dyer, Wishes Fulfilled, and on page 197 he shares this poem.


You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
Your were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
                    ~Rumi~

Nautical Days, Aug 4-6, 2012

Summer is going by so fast and in a few weeks I'll be back at Nautical Days for the 3 day festival.

It is always a fun time to meet lots of people and share my book, CD, and wellness cards.

I'm hoping Elvis is appearing on stage again!

Reiki and Reflexology !

Pieces to One of my Life’s many Puzzles.


Roots to Breath, Dona Anderson

Life sometimes gets a bit confusing and it is only later when we put the pieces together that it starts to make some sense.

I often say that I’m doing things I wouldn’t have ever imagined and two of them came to me through meditation, and were things I really didn’t know anything about, Reflexology and Reiki.

Reflexology came to me first. I knew it had something to do with feet but nothing else, so I checked it out and looked at where I could get training.  I was very surprised to find out that the trainer for the one I was looking at worked in my little town, and at the time was the trainer for Western Canada and parts of the US as well.  Who could have imagined that?

Reiki came to me several years later.  I had heard the word and thought they did it at spas but not much else.  So again I looked it up to learn more and to find out about training. Then I saw an advertisement in the paper for a free workshop for level one.  Unfortunately it was full, but the same lady was teaching a different workshop the day before that I was able to go to.  I mentioned to her that I had also wanted to do the Reiki workshop but it was full.  Later in the day she came to me and said there was a cancellation for the Reiki, and did I want to take that spot.  I was lucky again!

I guess this is about putting what you want out there, and seeing what comes back. Before, I only had questions about what other things I could possibly use my yoga room for, and this is what I got back.  Since then, I use both of these practices for  my own self healing, and I enjoy introducing them to friends and family to help them relax and to receive these wonderful healing benefits. 

I’m sure there will be more reasons why I was introduced to and then agreed to learn and use these healing practices, and those will be the pieces that eventually finish this very interesting puzzle.  

But, I think the most important piece was the one for listening ... without that piece, none of this would have ever happened!
