How would you define it? Recently I read this definition: “Though power most often refers to the ability to influence people (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999, p. 314), power is also related to dominance and status (Guerrero, DeVito & Hecht, 1999, p. 315)…” Hunh? I spend all day focusing on empowering my clients and myself, but I’ve always thought of power as the ability to create healing changes, the kind of power Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/02/power/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/02/clear-pain-burnout-fast/ http://giawaken.com/2012/02/clear-pain-burnout-fast/#comments Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:20:30 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5930 On Friday I attended a writer’s retreat and I am still floating. Because I am a writer. It’s my life purpose, the way I fulfill my divine contract. When I returned, I was quite surprised to find the pain from a recent horrible relationship blowup had all but disappeared. This was a situation where for two weeks I was so preoccupied that I kept forgetting things and taking wrong turns while driving. It reminded me Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/02/clear-pain-burnout-fast/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/02/who-forgives-whom/ http://giawaken.com/2012/02/who-forgives-whom/#comments Sat, 11 Feb 2012 15:30:26 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5846 When you have a fight or other painful event in a relationship, how do you get back on track? Many folks would say forgiveness. I agree — that is a great place to start! However, I’m going to step out on a limb here so you can give your forgiveness practice more power. Forgiveness is not, as many believe, the entire healing process. It is the first step. But it is an extremely important first Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/02/who-forgives-whom/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/02/want-to-change/ http://giawaken.com/2012/02/want-to-change/#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:12:46 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5829 ~ Daria’s Wednesday Wisdom column ~ Is there some area of your life where you know you need to make a change, but you just… haven’t… done it yet? Maybe you’ve been intending to lose that extra 10 pounds, start a newsletter for your business, finish your book, or do that scrapbook. I bet you give yourself grief for not taking those steps. (You do, don’t you?) You might feel bad, criticize yourself (even in Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/02/want-to-change/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/02/heart-healing/ http://giawaken.com/2012/02/heart-healing/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:16:24 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5804 ~ Daria’s Wednesday Wisdom column ~ It is the worst feeling in the world when you unintentionally cause someone else pain. You wish you could rewind, unsay, and erase, erase, erase. It is like lightning striking your relationship, too. It hurts both sides. I’m at a loss to understand or amend what happened between me and a very important person in my life. This morning, my emotions are crippling my ability to think straight, so I’m Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/02/heart-healing/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/01/aquarius-2012/ http://giawaken.com/2012/01/aquarius-2012/#comments Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:00:01 +0000 Guest Author http://giawaken.com/?p=5796 Friends! The Sun moves into Aquarius today at 8:10 am pacific time. We leave the silence of Capricorn to rally our passionate troupes. Here’s the big question: Who do you want to be playing with this year? With whom do you feel most alive? Who inspires you, lifts you, awakens you? This month is the time to summon your allies. Aquarius is the sign of the water bearer. Its phrase is “Water of life am Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/01/aquarius-2012/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/01/not-insane/ http://giawaken.com/2012/01/not-insane/#comments Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:31:58 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5822 ~ Daria’s Wednesday Wisdom column ~ Just who was it said, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”? According to wikiquote, this quip is most often misattributed to: • Benjamin Franklin (perhaps because he was insane for flying a metallicized kite in a lightning storm), • Albert Einstein (because the internet believes Al was a Law of Attraction guru who said everything that’s cool), and • Mark Twain (maybe because he Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/01/not-insane/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2012/01/role-model/ http://giawaken.com/2012/01/role-model/#comments Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:18:30 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5692 ~ Daria’s Wednesday Wisdom column ~ I’ve been searching hard for a good quote about being a strong role model for others. It’s an important role to play. Role models shine their light brightly to help those behind them find their way. They uplift and inspire. As healers, we need to be great role models for our clients and fans. We must walk in the shoes of our divine Inner Healer. We must care for and Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2012/01/role-model/feed/ 0 http://giawaken.com/2011/12/eoy-tasks1/ http://giawaken.com/2011/12/eoy-tasks1/#comments Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:08:06 +0000 By Daria Boissonnas http://giawaken.com/?p=5768 The holidays are in full swing and the thrill of the brand new year is upon us.

Do you know your strongest type? To recap our intro article, intuition is a way you can receive information through the parts of your consciousness other than your physical body or rational, thinking mind. Intuition is perfectly normal. Your job, my dear spiritual traveler, is to learn to recognize and decipher your intuition, and then use it to Read the Rest...]]> http://giawaken.com/2011/11/psi2/feed/ 0
