Please read this message carefully as the FREE Manifesting Community Listings have changed for the better!! The listings are now separated by dated, ongoing, and classified listings. Directions are on my website and on this newsletter. This will provide more control over where listings should go and allow people to enter listings all the time. It will also free me up from administrative duties so I can concentrate on my passions. You will need to put an end date on the event if it is ongoing or classified and then re-enter the listing when it expires. All listings will be automatically updated as dates pass by and as new dates are added. All events will be in date chronological order.
There will be a featured article every month that will be different from my articles in Yoga Living. You are welcome to offer me feedback on any of my articles. All of my articles can be accessed on my achieved article list on my website.
The table of contents will take you wherever you want to go in my newsletter or directly to my website. Please take special notice of the free lectures, Reiki shares, and support groups that I support and/or offer. And, as always, if you like the work I do please pass it along to people you care about.

Time to get out and spring into action! Start to experience community. There are plenty of community-based activities to participate in. Read Yoga Living, Creating Community, Wisdom, and New Visions Magazines to connect with groups, activities, and events. Please read the Manifesting Community section of my newsletter and website. If you have specific questions or ideas please call me. We have so much to share as a community. There is power in numbers. We are not alone. There is a giant web of us all over the Philadelphia and surrounding area. Just get out there and be an active participant!
The more we connect, the more we heal. The more fun, play, and laughter we evoke and share the more we heal. Healing is the name of the game. Join a group. Do a workshop. Join a club or organization that interests you. Volunteer your time at a non-profit, or a shelter, or with children. We heal together, not separate. So really stretch yourself this year and meet new people. Humanity needs a plethora of healing energy. It all starts with each one of us. It all starts with me!
Personal Growth Alternatives Healing Center Update Bulletin!
As I shared in my last newsletter I am looking for committed healers that share in my vision. My intention is to find a core group of people (3-5), to create and manifest the beginnings of a healing center under the umbrella of Personal Growth Alternatives in the Main Line area. Presently that area is pretty broad. As more people share with me their ideas and intentions it will become clearer where to look for space. Much of this year will be a fact-finding and brainstorming year with the intent on moving into a space in 2007. I hope to have a more detailed position paper for review by early summer. I am welcoming all interested practitioners for an open dialogue until a core group organically manifests itself. Commitment of vision and purpose is of paramount importance. We are not just sharing space and I am not a landlord renting space out. So this is an intimate process of getting to know one another.
I am currently thinking of the center being a combination of profit and non-profit. I don't specifically know what that would look like yet but given our state of economic complexities, having both entities may be the most flexible way to go especially if the non-profit sector happens to be partially or fully grant funded. All options are being left open until more clarity of possibilities are explored. This is a community oriented project and focus of the center. The goal is to start off small and grow the center through the needs of the holistic community. The core group should be able to work together in healing clients through emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and energetic approaches. We will truly focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Please feel free to email me or call me (office) 215-658-1093, or (cell) 609-332-4663 to participate in an open dialogue and brainstorming. You do not need to be a practitioner to participate in this process. I need to hear from as many people as possible. All voices are important! If I do not get back to you quickly please know that your response is important and that I am frequently out of town and busy trying to answer all my emails and phone calls.
So let the fun begin!
Peace and Love,
Rusty

Laughing with the Collective Human Shadow
We all like to laugh, right? At the same time, we all have a different sense of humor. What is funny to one is not necessarily humorous to another. However, one thing is for certain, laughing heals! It heals physical problems as well as emotional and mental maladies. So, it is therefore my hypothesis that humor can help us accept the shadow part of both ourselves and the human condition, and promote healing so the shadow can be integrated into the whole self to reduce resistance. In order to truly do this we have to be able to feel the nervous energy of shock or surprise and allow ourselves to surrender to the uncomfortable feelings of laughter that may ensue. Let me explain.
First I would like to say that I am broaching a potentially very sensitive and controversial topic. However, I am a firm believer that what we react to is our own shit. There is a difference between what we think and what we act on or believe. We cannot fight or repress our thoughts. What we repress will manifest in us somewhere. There is a time to be serious and a time to laugh. We live in a world of duality. We all have a shadow side. If you don't think you do you are in deep denial! I often say, “ Wake up! Life is not a dress rehearsal! Now that you are awake lighten up and don't take life so seriously. You might as well have fun acting out on the stage of life.” It is important to achieve a balance of seriousness with fun and play and be able to laugh in the darkest moments of humanity. Acceptance and validation releases the pent up energy.
Once again, this in no way means I am condoning the acting out of our darkest thoughts and nervous or “sick” humor. Now that's a judgment right there and probably one that keeps many of us from feeling, exploring, and showing our dark or shadow side. The dark side is not bad! It is not good either. Its just part of the duality of the human condition. Remember we are one. That means we share everything with each other, the good, the bad, and the ugly. None of us are saints. And the more we try to attain "pure goodness", the more ego is involved with valuing and judgment. True healing occurs by asking Spirit to reframe our thoughts through love, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness and to help open our sacred hearts. This is true surrender. It's letting go of control.
I welcome and invite you to explore your shadow side. Laugh at the horrors of humanity. Stretch the envelope. See if you can really allow that part of you to express itself through humor. Call in God to witness the laughter of the dark side of humanity and your "shameful" thoughts with you. Ooops, another value judgment. By the way there is nothing wrong with shame if we can feel it and let it go. And what better way is there than to release it through humor. Some of the humor may even seem sarcastic. Whoopee, I get to feel anger, and release shame, fear, guilt, and loneliness all at the same time through laughing at that "horrible" part of me that I judge in myself and others. Damn, did it again. Guess its just habit, or maybe I'm just a bad person. Whatever! Let's just get over it and laugh at how fucked up all of us are in the human experiment. And if your response is I'm not fucked up then I guess I was wrong and there are saints out there. However, that challenges the idea that we are all one. So I'll leave you with this one question as an indicator of your questionable sainthood. Do you experience every single human being on this planet as healed, whole, and as loved and forgiven by you? This also means you have no anger, guilt, shame, fear, or loneliness and you do not experience separation of any kind. I didn't think so.
In closing I would like to share that a comedy routine sparked this article. It really got me to thinking how we take life too seriously at times and need to experience a collective uncomfortable laugh with ourselves and the human species. Expressing the forbidden and inappropriate sometimes can free us from the shackles that manifest our repressed thoughts and feelings. It was my intent to stretch the envelope with my writing in this article. Sharing and witnessing is a very powerful healing potion. And let's face it, we are a pretty fucked up species! We might as well laugh about it, accept it, and integrate it. After all, what else has worked?
