What if JOY JOY is what it's all about??

What if en-joy-ing life

with music, community, moving our beautiful bodies, and participating in that which leads us to growth,

and some kind of service, IS what we all all most deeply looking for

and need to be fully alive?!

JOY JOY.

What is Joy, anyway?! What does it FEEL like?

Hmmm.

One way to find out if this works for you, and yours, is to step out ...

Below is an invitation to try just that -- Live in Joy -- and enter into songs with meaning on (a kind of holiday) March 17th.

JOY JOY.

WHY DID THE MOVIE "Artist" win the oscar this year?

JOY JOY, on a screen -- old school meets new days.

Bring forth your inner ARTIST by joining future events which invite forth your voice, writing, inner song,

shake of a rattle. Or just write a few words in response to this blog (or another). In this way, we engage

and find out: We are not alone.

You are cordially INVITED to come witness the fruit of years of preparation: (and thawing: its 30 years since buying my first guitar!)

"Timothy EarthHealer and SOULFam"

is scheduled to play on St. Paddy's day

for my first Live public show from 7:00 - 9:00 pm

THE VISION and INTENTION

of the Evening (and Monthly Music Gatherings 2012):

New songs come through many artists and some ask to be brought to the light of day;

Come on a journey with me into spaces and places,

some playful and humorous, some sacred and even magical.

In this way the evening becomes a sharing -- of music, story, a SongSharing

which you can join in, participate, in multivalent ways.

This event is the first of MONTHLY gatherings to come --

indoors and in local parks under cedar trees -- over the span of 2012.

• Bring a friend or two!!
• Celebrate Life and
• the Precious sounds of FREE Live music!

FYI: The group is called under my stage name:

Timothy EarthHealer & Band (SoulFam)

sings Kitty Tiger Joy Joy!

Memories of the Snowstorm: Haiku and meditations to come

Remarkable! Beautiful! Fun! Scary ...

The Weeklong SnowStorm of 2012

expressed itself in three movements: Snow, Ice and Wind

(and for some, floods & power outages for days)

However it was experienced ...

SNOWFLAKES REMAIN

in the shape of Haiku here for you:

During those days of forced retreat these poems emerged

and asked to be shared ...

1. Boughs, heavy with snow

Bend to the Earth, pointing:

pure white, powdery delight.

2. Snow fall, Winters day.

Slow down, gears halt to silence;

(So) we may feel the Love.

3. Ice, Snow, Broken Branches

Upon the Ground - Nature's

heavy burden, down.

Book Celebration Event - YOU ARE INVITED!!
You are invited to join us in celebrating the release of The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual in Seattle at Ravenna Third Place Books, 6504 20th Ave NE, Seattle,
on Wednesday November 16th at 7 pm.
Author Beth Alderman MD, MPH will read several anecdotes,
Tim Malone will guide a healing exercise, and Will Blades will share his music.

The Manual WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE AS AN AUDIO BOOK READ BY TIM MALONE, via download from
http://sevenfoldhealing.com. See below in bold for Guided Exercises CD coming soon!

The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual: Just the Stories [abridged audio book read by Timothy J. Malone]
Put this audio book on your CD or MP3 player, kick back, and let the stories take you on a journey through the landscape of healing. Ideal for use while in the bath, walking or resting in nature, or attending your practitioner's healing studio. Expected in November.

The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual, Audio Guide to the Exercises [audio book created in collaboration with Timothy J. Malone]
If you are a self-healer or practitioner, you can put this audio book on your CD or MP3 player, relax, and allow it to support and enhance your healing practice in real time. If you are chronically ill and have not yet developed the energy or skills to guide yourself, or you are a practitioner new to sevenfold healing, this audio book can acquaint you with the twenty-six meditative healing exercises and support the development of your inner guide to sevenfold healing. Coming soon.The Sevenfold Healing Creative Team will be available to sign books, answer questions, and schedule bodywork treatments.

The Sevenfold Healing System for relief, wellbeing, and recovery in chronic illness is ready to use and to share with friends, loved ones, and clients through The Chronic Illness Owner's Manual, our new bedside companion, reference book, and wisdom text for integrative and comprehensive self-guided healing transformation. Because it enables the sick to access medical lineages ranging from Allopathy to Daoism; to integrate fragmented and disparate sources of care; and to heal all levels of the body from the flesh to interbeing, the Manual offers readers the chance to join in the revitalization and resacralization of modern global medicine. The Manual includes healing anecdotes with commentaries, working questions, and meditative practices.

Currently it is available on paperback via CreateSpace and as an eBook via Kindle and Kindle App. Paperback version includes original cover art by Coastal Salish artists Dylan Thomas and lessLIE. For more, see our website or continue to the holiday gift list below.

A poem, New Music Projects & links to a sweet Autumn

Greetings ...
as Autumn colors our world! A poem for you to ponder:

An Ode to the (not-so welcomed) change of seasons

The NW rain brings forth delicious shades
of green
& myriad mushrooms supporting;
where before sweet sunshine warmed our insides,
bringing forth lemonade smiles
the grasses began turning brown, dry ground.

A return to balance
need not bring frowns,
nor the nights, sighs.

Let Autumn be our guide,
a companion bringing nothing short of
LIFE:
drink lush, painted foliage and skies.

C. 2011 Timothy J. Malone


postscript:
I remind myself today as the clouds and wind swept in:
Ah, accepting "what it is"
in the turn of the season
can be excellent spiritual practice ...
not necessarily welcomed
though most growthful, indeed!
