Third Step Press will present a daily Blog-A-Thon, “21 Days to Eureka!”, beginning June 21 on Braincaregiver.com The focus will be to help caregivers acquire the habit of relaxation and the ability to relax on self-command in the face of frustration or crises.

The daily blogs will offer special tips for home caregivers of cognitively, emotionally and/or memory-challenged patients. Beyond stress control, caregivers will learn how to tap into the creative, intuitive source in the subconscious mind.

Created by Madonna Siles, C.P.C., author of two books for caregivers of stroke and brain injury survivors, the blog will feature daily motivation meditations, enhanced by photos. In addition to tips and tricks for acquiring the relaxation habit, participants in the Blog-A-Thon will be encouraged to support each other with comments that prove relaxation is working in their lives. A link will be provided to the author’s website, Eurekamaster.com, where caregivers can experience a relaxation visualization.

According to Siles, a certified professional life coach and a career motivational communicator, “The concept of a 21-day Blog-A-Thon is based on the premise that it takes 21 days to acquire a new habit. Borrowing from a 12-step program practice, the Blog-A-Thon will encourage action to reinforce that the new habit is ‘working’. It will also encourage participants to positively support each other with their comments.”

Both of Siles’s books, Brain, Heal Thyself (Hampton Roads, 2006) and Eureka! Memories and Motivations (Third Step Press, 2010), describe the author’s unique approach to the daily caregiving of her friend, the survivor of a devastating brain hemorrhage in 2001. The books are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other online retailers, as well as the author’s website, www.Eurekamaster.com

Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, June 15, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show “Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt talks to healer, Desiree DeMars, who discusses her own initiation experiences and how they transformed her. As part of Pratt’s “Initiation Series: Curing our Cultural Sickness”, listeners will hear stories of a diverse range of contemporary initiation experiences—that have functioned to truly transform individuals into shamans—and will have the opportunity to understand what initiation truly means. In this episode, DeMars will share numerous initiation stories with listeners, including initiation by scorpion!

Desiree DeMars is a co-founder of The Center for Shamanic Healing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Center is dedicated to bridging the ancient and ancestral wisdom of shamanic and spiritual healing with direct engagement with spirit in a contemporary life. DeMars has over 30 years of experience in holistic health and sustainable lifestyle training beginning with building a self-sufficient homestead and creating a green lifestyle on 10 acres of land in Northern Wisconsin in the early 1970s. Her holistic lifestyle has evolved into 20 years of studying herbal remedies, live food nutrition, several bodywork and energy work modalities, and shamanic healing arts. DeMars’ shamanic training began in 1994 with teachers from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and travel around the world with anthropologists. In her travels, she has worked with indigenous healers in Peru, Ecuador, Bali, Hawaii, Mexico and Nepal.

Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible. A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her well-received book, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism (Rosen), is an 800-page, two-volume set with over 750 in-depth entries that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing in Portland, OR, and New York, NY, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association.
