Sound Healing II

By Nicole Urdang | October 24, 2010
Posted in Holistic tools

The paradigm of Sisyphus hauling his boulder up the mountain only to have it roll down as he almost reaches the summit is so deeply ingrained in our psyches it’s easy to forget how stressful life is even when you do manage to push the boulder over the top. Naturally, major life transitions, like, divorce, […]

Loving Yourself May Be Easier Than You Thought

By Nicole Urdang | October 17, 2010
Posted in Inner work, Self-compassion

“Be thine own palace or the world’s thy jail.” John Donne What a strange world where loving yourself isn’t second nature. Perhaps everyone is born with the capacity to love themselves, but the vagaries of life steal attention from this sacred task. Luckily, with a little awareness and effort, you can consciously reconnect with the […]

Sound Healing

Posted in Holistic tools

One of my favorite healing modalities is sound therapy, since everyone who is not deaf has a cornucopia of experiences with sound. Perhaps, it was the sound of a kind voice, birds chirping, music from their teen years, lullabies, the ebb and flow of the ocean, sacred music, a baby’s laugh, or a lover’s whispers, […]

Love Is Not a Faucet You Can Turn On And Off

By Nicole Urdang | August 31, 2010
Posted in Divorce, Relationships

Love is not a faucet you can turn on and off at will. If you have spent years, or decades, with someone, even if that time was not always so wonderful, even if you came to disrespect or feel contempt for your partner, the simple act of sharing a life bound you on a cellular […]

Emotional First Aid

Ten ways to handle bad news: 1. Breathe deeply and slowly. Use grounding techniques (see Grounding Techniques). 2. Remember: This will pass. 3. Don’t take it personally, no matter what happened. 4. Allow all your feelings; yes, all of them. 5. Have faith in yourself. You are more competent than you think right this moment. […]

Feeling Your Feelings: You Can’t Heal What You Don’t Feel

By Nicole Urdang | July 29, 2010
Posted in Inner work

Can you imagine a life without one of your five senses? Maybe, but it certainly isn’t something you would joyfully embrace. Even if having all five senses means you sometimes see, smell, hear, touch, or taste things that elicit a negative reaction, you understand the gift of having all five far eclipses those unpleasant moments. […]

We’re All In Recovery, So Welcome To The Club

Posted in Addiction/OCD, Self-compassion

Whether it was a parent, teacher, grandparent, uncle, aunt, friend, boss, sister, brother, classmate, or co-worker, at some point, everyone has been affected by damaging remarks, criticism, physical abuse, harassment, or sexual abuse. You may think it extreme to say that we are all in recovery, but you don’t have to be a mathematician to […]

Feed Your Brain Loving Thoughts and Watch What Happens

By Nicole Urdang | July 14, 2010
Posted in Inner work, Self-compassion

Let’s pretend you’re washing lettuce for a salad. You see a few rusty-edged pieces and remove them. It’s second nature. You didn’t have to consciously think, “I don’t want to put something unappealing or toxic in my body.” You intuitively knew. Unfortunately, it is not that easy when it comes to your mind. Allowing unwanted, […]

Mindfulness

Posted in Meditation

While walking in the park this morning I happened to notice a man ambling along engrossed in a book. Curious as to what was so compelling, I glanced over and saw it was a large book of watercolors. This perplexed and amused me, as the morning was exceptionally beautiful: a rich blue sky punctuated with […]

What is your story?

By Nicole Urdang | May 28, 2010
Posted in Inner work, Journaling

You must have control of the authorship of your own destiny. The pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand.” Irene C. Kassorla “What is your story” is a bit of optional homework you might like to explore. Be extra gentle with yourself while navigating through these questions, as they […]
