Establishing a healthy relationship with your body is not much different than establishing any other relationship: You have to keep the channels of communication open. Your physical body has specific needs, some basic and others individual or temporary, and it is often telling you what they are and trusting that your mind will receive the message and prompt you to act by providing what it calls for. How do we make sure we’re listening? Read More…
Emotional healing begins with research and analysis. Without those two, there is no healing. Emotional techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) do work, but they do so more like an aspirin. They may give you temporary relief but do not solve the problem (heal).

Otherwise we are just numbing the pain. Read More…
Movement is all around us – and it is also within us. With change as the only constant, we are in a continuous state of transformation. We need to learn to handle this impermanence, and we can do it by studying the Law of Rhythm and the principles that work with it to bring about change inside and outside of us.
In an earlier article, we explained the basic idea behind the seven Universal Laws, seven principles that govern nature and everything in it, all explained in a text called The Kybalion (nothing to do with Kabbalah, just sounds similar).

To do this, you can use a technique we here at Silvie+Maryl like to call “the man in the mirror”. Read More…
Color matters. From scientists and psychologists to marketers and advertisers and even holistic practitioners and ancient philosophers, color has been known to have a particular effect on human beings. We see a color we like, and it puts us in a good mood and may even affect our decision making. But how does this happen? And, why? My recent obsession with the purple range of colors – violet, indigo, fuchsia, magenta, mulberry – prompted me to explore color and its relationship to humans and health, and here’s what I found out.

Who you are cannot fit on a sheet of paper.

Let’s explore what you could be beyond that. Let’s call these other atypical, non-resume items…added value. Read More…
