In the Hammock with MJ: On Vulnerability
http://inthehammockwithmj.blogspot.com/2013/01/on-vulnerability.html
In the Hammock with MJ. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. Susceptible to emotional injury; open to censure or criticism. My new 'V' word of the moment. On Dec. 12th, someone smashed the window of my car and took my reflexology bag, along with my iPod dock. On Dec. 14th, the shootings in Newtown happened. On Dec. 19th, a very nice man named Val crashed his truck into my car, while he was being waved across two lanes of traffic (the insurance agent referred to it as 'the wave of death'). As for the shooting of l...

In the Hammock with MJ: Where'd My Life Go?!
http://inthehammockwithmj.blogspot.com/2013/08/whered-my-life-go.html
In the Hammock with MJ. Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Where'd My Life Go? Ok, I'll make this brief. I'd like to tell you why I didn't write a column last month. Have you ever had a period in your life where nearly every single aspect of life as you knew it. I used to joke that it was 'my job to be relaxed'. And it was true. Didn't have fun, I can guarantee that the 30 elderly people I spent the day with didn't have fun either. And I really don't. To get too far out of whack, or it will show up at work immed...

In the Hammock with MJ. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The Wonders of Worrying. The fabulous and insightful Mark Twain once said, "I've had many worries in my life, most of which never happened.". Think about it. Most of the worrying we do never comes to pass - thankfully, I might add. And certainly, no good. Ever comes of worrying. Ever. Here's another angle on it, if you'd like to bring the Law of Attraction and physics into it:. Again, for good measure! Ps Adventures in Meditation. Posted by MJ Stevenson.

In the Hammock with MJ: Happy Dance
http://inthehammockwithmj.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-dance.html
In the Hammock with MJ. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. Hi ho, winter warriors! I'd like to share a little bit about my Happy Dance. My own particular morning meditation, which involves listening to certain uplifting songs and dancing and flailing my arms about wildly, until I'm in a rather ecstatic state of what I like to refer to as 'spiritual hysteria'. I do this for about twenty minutes every morning, NO MATTER WHAT. Basically, what I'm doing is practicing. By the Piano Guys and Alex Boye. Written as a ...

In the Hammock with MJ: The Mona-Lisa-Smile-Instant-Mood-Changer
http://inthehammockwithmj.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-mona-lisa-smile-instant-mood-changer.html
In the Hammock with MJ. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Here is the simplest little mood shifter you'll ever come across:. Please take a good look at the Mona Lisa's smile. Got it? Now, all you have to do is allow a tiny half-smile to spread across your lips - not much more than a smirk - and then, shift your eyes slightly to the left (that's the most important part). Hold that for a few seconds, and maybe take a few deep, slow breaths. Did you feel that? Kind of like having a really great secret and. I am a wri...

In the Hammock with MJ. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. I love how it feels when . So, let's talk about affirmations! Affirmation: a present tense, positive, personal statement that is repeated frequently to oneself). Even if you've never purposely used an affirmation, you can well imagine how ridiculous and fraudulent you might feel if you were saying to yourself "I am thin, I am healthy, I am prosperous, I am successful at xyz, I am relaxed and peaceful, I am super-fantabulous". I love how it feels when. I lov...
