		<title>Loss &amp; Liberation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I am given unimaginable gifts;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed….
 
Jennifer Welwood

		<title>Frazzled &amp; Overwhelmed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
During major life changes it is easy to feel raw, brittle, and overwhelmed by all the details that need your attention.  Some people become numb when faced with a tsunami of decisions and tasks, and some amp up their activity. It&#8217;s not so much how you manifest your inner frenzy, but what you can do [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=2026&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Nature Sounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across one of the bargains of the century on my favorite site: amazon.com
Searching for discs with nature sounds I found dozens of very long-playing CDs, 50-70 minutes each, for between $.89-.99
Just go to MP3 downloads and type in nature sounds. You can preview each one before buying it.
These can be a wonderful [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=2032&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Litany of Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

DIRECTIONS:
Make your sweet self a cup of tea or hot chocolate.
Sit somewhere private and comfortable.
Read the following sentences aloud in your most loving, gentle voice.

I will be OK.

I feel devastated, but I will be fine.

I may not be able to see it right now, but everything will work out for my highest good.

There&#8217;s so much [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=2021&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Challenge Your Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Everyone goes through cycles of peace and trauma.  If a value you have held for years no longer increases your peace, if it keeps you stuck in some unhelpful place or mind-set, it may be time to release it.
 
Values prop up your sense of self, your ego. It can be strengthening to think:
 
I have good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=1947&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Reclaim Your Power</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
&#8220;He who controls others may feel powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.&#8221;    Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching 
 
&#8220;When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt.&#8221;   Anonymous
 
&#8220;The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don&#8217;t have any.&#8221;   Alice Walker

		<title>Reach Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Whether you have been good at asking for help in the past, or not, now is the time to reach out.  When you experience a loss through death, the dissolution of a relationship, or transformation, grief engenders two primal desires.  One seeks solitude to nurse the wounds, while the other asks for company, someone to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=1880&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Fearless Open-Heartedness: Risks and Rewards</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
Yes, you&#8217;re right.  If you open your heart you risk getting hurt.  But, what&#8217;s the alternative?  A life devoid of love and passion?  How alluring is that?  The illusion of safety may be appealing, but over-protection usually leads to isolation.  Is there a way to shield yourself and still be receptive?  Not that I know [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=862&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Flying Solo &amp; Asking For Help</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
There are different types of safety, but the most important one is the safe, secure feeling you can create within yourself.  When coupled, whether due to two incomes, another breathing body next to yours, or the sense that someone is there for you, it is easier to feel supported and cared for.  Once on your [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=1507&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Post-Divorce Relationships With Adult Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
It is wise to remember that the prefrontal cortex, where most higher level thinking takes place, isn&#8217;t fully developed until the mid-late twenties. Therefore, young adults, even those with jobs, relationships, and kids of their own are very likely to make foolish decisions. They may side with one parent (typically, the one whose love they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=holisticdivorce.wordpress.com&blog=4713184&post=1780&subd=holisticdivorce&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
