The Online Wellness Association Blog

WELCOME TO ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION, AND TO THE 21st CENTURY OF HEALING!! ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION is open to all WELLNESS PRACTITIONERS to apply for membership.

Research, both online and traditional academic, is showing that online counseling is becoming a credible trend. Four years ago when I was doing research to register as an online counselor, I was surprised, and aghast, that there was no specific organization verifying credentials, and, no one able to assure the potential client that I am, in fact, a real counselor, with real credentials. There did not appear to be any real organization to help keep the predators away from the potential vulnerable clients, and to make the internet immediate and efficient for potential clients to chose a wellness practitioner.

SO! I founded ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION as a SAFETY platform for counseling online. In recognition of the diversity of healers, I wanted to include all professions involved in providing healing services. The challenge was to come up with an immediate way for someone stressed to know that they are choosing a legitimate practitioner. I came up with the idea of the Seal of Approval after reading about the history of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. The OWA Seal would follow the same path as the Good Housekeeping Seal. The goal was set: An OWA SEAL OF APPROVAL on every WELLNESS PRACTITIONER’S website page on the internet! Providing an immediate assurance to potential clients that the services they are seeking are legitimate.

Who is a WELLNESS PRACTITIONER? OWA considers any credentialed practitioner that is dedicated to offering legitimate services for the well being and health of someone’s body, mind, and spirit is, in fact, a WELLNESS PRACTITIONER. WELLNESS PRACTITIONERS understand that they are just a part of the holistic process of healing. Their services are used in conjunction with traditional allopathic medicine to bring their clients to optimum health.

ALL WELLNESS PRACTITIONERS are invited to apply for membership with OWA. This includes acupuncturist, behavioral health practitioners, Asian/oriental bodywork, nutritionist, energy workers, nutritionist, Podiatrist, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, Qui Gong Instructors, etc. If you can meet the standards and criteria for membership OWA WANTS YOU!!!

I just had the lovely experience of listening to two meditation tapes being offered by OWA member, Sharon Janelle. “Soaring Spirit” is a meditation tape that offers both a meditation 101 guide visualization, and, a full side of meditative music for the more experienced meditators. I actually relaxed so well with “Serenity", Relaxation Series 1, that I think I fell into a deep REM sleep. Sharon is going to be having these tapes converted to CD. Until then, you can purchase either, or both, tapes from Sharon Janelle at sharon.janelle@comcast.net. Cost of each tape is $10 US.

COME JOIN THE ONLINE WELLNESS ASSOCIATION PARADIGM!!!

I have been going out with someone for the last couple of years who rides a motorcycle. When I first started riding as a passenger I was terrified. All of my childhood and young adult fears would shallow me up, to the point of being frozen as I hung on for dear life. Yet, I loved the thought of going for a ride because it was a wonderful way to look my fears right in the eye, give them a name, and release them with love. I would have floods of memories of my father telling me how dangerous motorcycles were and remembering tragic stories of people getting killed on them. As these memories would replay in my mind, I was able to slow the story down and become very present. I reminded myself that my friend Kurt was an excellent rider. That he had started riding motorcycles when he was in the 5th grade. That if I stayed very current and in the moment, all was perfect. I literally trusted Kurt with my life, just as I am learning to trust the invisible guidance that shows me the way everyday.

How many times in our life do we trust our life to a stranger? Flying in an airplane, driving down the freeway as other folks in cars drive around us? If we realized how precarious our lives were, we may not want to step of our homes. Yet, it is a wonderful reminder to note that at any given moment, regardless of what we are doing, if it is our time to leave this physical form, it doesn’t matter what we are doing. We could be getting out of bed in the morning or working out, when it is our time, no amount of negotiating or doing something will keep us from crossing over.

It’s a fascinating way to look at life. I often invite folks to bow deeply to death for it is our greatest gift because it gives us one more breath. Instead of running away from life; go with the flow.

When I am on the back of the motorcycle all of my senses are activated. Sight, sounds, smells and texture become more acute. I love the sensation of being so totally awake and aware. As we round a corner I gently lean in the direction that we are turning. As we go up a hill I relax into the comfort of Kurt’s back. It’s a beautiful dance of grace and ease.

When we lean into life and go with the flow all is well. If we go against the flow, we run into resistance and fear. How many times have you resisted something in your life only to relax into it and notice how gently you are able to move with the flow. It’s as if we wake up and lose our minds and come to our senses. Recognizing the rhythms and wonderful opportunities that are all around us.

While riding on the back of a motorcycle may not be your cup of tea, I invite you to spend some time noticing the opportunities you have to fully step into your life with all of your senses. Begin to integrate how wonderful it feels to fully “show up”. Challenge your dragons and turn them into paper dragons. The dragons, metaphorically speaking, are those parts of yourself that are scared to try something new because of a past memory or belief. Notice those areas in your life that may be limiting you from fully stepping into life because of outdated fears and myths. Take this challenge to step into those scary places and surround them with love. I’m not suggesting that you take unnecessary risks, rather, let yourself feel the thrill of releasing the bondage of fear. Begin to say, “Yes!” to your life.

While you are learning to do this, remember to use discernment. Ask yourself if stepping into your fear would expand you or contract you? Trust yourself and learn to fly! Then begin to notice how effortless and joyful your life becomes. You will become lighter and freer; unburdened and unencumbered with the ghosts of the past.

Change brings opportunity!

Fast Change brings Fast Opportunity!

What’s your definition of Financial Freedom?

Mine – having enough money to live my desired lifestyle without having to work.

One way – to have enough passive income to pay for my desired lifestyle.

Do you want Today of Three Years in the future to look like Today?

If you answered NO, then keep reading!

Network Marketing, or MLM, is one way that individuals and couples have gotten out of the “rat race” and onto the “fast track.” Where else can you start a business with $50.00 or less, work part time, and create a stream of passive income?

Here’s a simple formula for creating wealth in MLM:
“Get a large group of people to do a few simple actions over a consistent period of time” (Randy Gage).

Do your business part time for a year 10-15 hours per week.
Keep your job.
Take 1-2 years to build a foundation. This can give you $100k/MONTH passive income

There are six steps, plus a “way of being” that will have you reach your goal, quickly!

1) Find a business that is Feasible for YOU

“If you are going to work hard anyway, why not get rich doing it?”

2) Deliver Massive Value
The law of income – You will be paid in direct proportion to the VALUE you DELIVER according to THE MARKETPLACE.

3) Timing
Choose something that is HOT RIGHT NOW!

4) Systemize
A business system is a “repeatable process that produces a profit!” (From T. Harv Eker)
5) Duplication
a. Allows you to get your product or service into the hands of the most people – which is how you can retire in 3 years.
b. Duplicate yourself – and RECRUIT UP – people who are more successful than you! People who know how to TEACH
c. Duplicate THE SYSTEM – find people and train them to find people and train them to find people and train them…..
6) Leverage
Doing more with less!

The most important part of it – the KEY to success in any business – is your mindset! Most of us have been programmed for a certain income level. Where did that programming come from? We learned it, from our parents, our environment, from the world outside us. And we learned in when we were very young. And unless you take action to RE-PROGRAM your Prosperity Mindset, you will never be able to achieve the success you deserve.
