Nina Handwerk: Brennan Healing Science Practitioner
It’s not your fault that a difficult, abusive person came into your life. Abusive people happen. It’s unfortunate, but they do. Why abusive people came to be and what makes them behave so badly is a topic for another blog! Compassion for them is for another day as well.…
Isolation is dangerous. The recent shootings in Las Vegas are a testament to that. When one person shuts off from others, and spirals into his own tortured mind, developing ideas of revenge and hostility, the result can be devastating. The white supremacist groups in the US are a testament to that.…
I have big and important news everyone…I’m on a cleanse! 😉
I don’t do this often. Or really ever! I’m quite proud of myself. This particular cleanse isn’t too intense, but it does limit my diet substantially. I’m doing it for health reasons, and so far it feels successful and helpful to my health.…
On the path of healing, most of us will run up against resistance…and for some, it’ll come up with a capital R. Resistance takes on many forms in our thoughts, emotions, and physicality. It might just be a heavy feeling of inertia or irritation when we intend to move forward, say, in our meditation practice.…
Do you feel chronically dissatisfied with your life? Do you feel hurried and anxious? Depressed? Do you breath shallowly? Do you wish you were ahead of where you find yourself on a financial, spiritual, or physical level?

After the family has cleared out of your home, the Christmas Tree or Hannukah Menorah has been taken down, the decadent meals have long since digested, there comes a moment after the whirlwind of the Holidays when you may come back to yourself and think “what now?”…
How do I really take care of myself? Why do I get derailed so easily? Why am I tired? Why can’t I stop [insert unwanted habit here]?
All of us have so many ways of ‘checking out,’ like watching TV, browsing Facebook, arguing with our partners, drinking, smoking, snacking, worrying.…
When we try to achieve a peaceful mental state on our own, often we find ourselves stuck in a monkeying mind, unable to really settle in and get something from the time we’ve set aside. I have found that gathering in a group of positive, well-intentioned people in order to practice meditation or energy work, amplifies what I am able to achieve by a power of ten, at least!…
Do you identify with the term ‘empath’? Do you feel aware of the energies surrounding you and feel overwhelmed a lot of the time because of it? Do you slip into depression easily? Are you drawn towards healing and psychology, with a desire to understand others and where they are coming from?…
The deepest journey for people with depressive and withdrawal tendencies is coming out of a hidden, barely present feeling, into a full expression of their real self.
