news, do you seethe in anger, wallow in pity or tremble with fear because the emotional tone matches your own? How long do these feelings stay with you? How does this play out in your interactions with others? When you hear a positive story, how does this resonate? Does it make you smile but not down into your heart? In your head, do you hear the words, oh, thats nice but its not reality? Or does it inspire you to soar, radiating love to everyone you encounter? We are all connected in this life, like a chain, we are all links. If one link chooses not to succumb to fear and hatred then that wave falls. It does not get passed along. But if our internal dialog is such that it resonates more with whats wrong than with the beauty in life, it will be very difficult to crash that wave of fear. Likewise, it will be difficult to build the wave of love into a tsunami when we just dont believe it.
Time for deep honesty. This is between you and yourselfwould you talk to a person standing in front of you the same way you talk to yourself? Standing in front of the dressing room mirror with your bestie, trying on bathing suitswould you say to her what you are saying to yourself? Looking at something that you created, a painting, a poem, a mealwould you critique this creation the same had someone else created itto their face? Would you? We can be inexcusably mean to ourselves and this sets the vibrational resonance for our thread in the tapestry. It creates and or perpetuates the wave in our collective sea that says, I am not enough or I am not worthy. Which can then send us on a journey seeking validation outside of ourselves. But this particular journey is an inward one... Continued on page 2...
Find the sweetness in your own heart, that you may find the sweetness in every Heart. - Rumi

Random acts of kindnessserendipity? Sure, but are they less meaningful if planned for? I dont think so! There are so many ways to serve and being prepared makes it easier!
Here are some ideas -Always keep a shovel in your car. When you are driving home or out and about and see someone shoveling their walk or driveway, pull over and lend a hand! -If you have jumper cables, keep them in your car in case they are needed, you never know when some ones battery will call it quits! -Buy a spare set of gloves and hat and keep them in your car. When you see someone walking without them, you are ready! -Have a first aid kit party. Assemble first aid items in zipper bags and drop them off at the local shelter. -At your next get together/party, make it a food drive to replenish the local food bank or animal shelter -Do you drive the tollways? Pay the tolls for the next few cars. -Organize a flash-mob cleaning crew (or painting, repair, cooking) with your friends to help each other with important projects -Do you offer a service? Once a week, give one away for free! What other ideas can you come up with?? Share them at yourinfiniteheart.org in the forum or in the blog! Blessings and Joy dropping LoveBombs! Continued from page 1... So, if we are one whose tendency is selfcriticizing and negative, what can we do? How do we heal this rift? There are many modalities that can guide us toward wholeness. Having a capable guide who is able to both hold space and the light for us is very important in this process. It can be very challenging to see our own stuff sitting alone in a dark room. This guide can help us realize (see with real eyes) that the voice that speak to us (our internal dialog) is fueled by the wounded parts of ourselvesthat it is our ego-mind seeking to protect us from getting hurt. With enough space/distance we can begin to see the wounded child with its champion (ego-mind) protecting it and we can begin a dialog. When we can see/feel the dynamics at play we have more compassion and understanding which aids the heart in opening. With an open heart, anything is possible. So the next time you yell at the TV why cant we all just love one another!? Stop, take a breath and listen. We are all links in the chain, weft in the warpwhat will you allow to flow through you in that moment? That is your part of the tapestry, created in each and every moment. You have the choice, we all do. Our mission is not to create a false perfection, choosing Love when we do not feel it, but to respond with integrity, authenticity and honesty to ourselves with where we are in that moment. Will we always choose love? This is a dual world, so probably not. Does that make us bad people? Nope. It makes us real. It makes us human. It is our awareness of our internal landscape that gives our lives authenticity and vibrancy. It is our willingness to embrace the whole experience (our triumphs and our wounding) that allows us to live from our hearts, flowing within this sea of life, permeating all we touch with our presence and our grace. Be gentle with yourself. T alk to yourself like the precious divine child that you are. Blessings, Maria

Shes powerful, and filled with love. Resonating deeply with our 4th (heart) chakra, she can have a considerable affect on all aspects of our love lives, influencing both platonic and intimate relationships.
There are numerous stones out there that resonate with love, but Rose Quartz outshines them all. Appropriately called the Love Stone or the Heart Stone, it is a gem of unconditional love that opens us to all forms of love, including love of Self. Another attribute of Rose quartz is its balancing abilities, keeping the many different aspects of love in harmony. Our beautiful Rose emits a soothing, calming energy that gently nudges out the negativeas only Love can do. She can lovingly hold space in which emotional healing can take place, and then encourage emotional balance. When it comes to matters of the heart, Sweet Rose is one of our most powerful mineral allies gifted to us by Mother Earth. Gaia offers her in Love, for Love. Physically speaking, Rose Quartz can also promote cardiac health; hence, its close relationship with our heart chakra. She actually supports our whole circulatory system. It shouldnt be surprising that Rose is also said to assist with fertility issues and sexual dysfunction. She is, after all, the Love Stone.
Rose Quartz is commonly found in many shades of pink, from the palest pale, to deep rose. Most found in the market place are ribboned with clear or white cloudy formations, and often-tiny dark inclusions. Ive seen some beautiful pieces that are banded with white as well. They can be very clear, or solidly opaque, although completely clear stones are rare.

February is a short month, so Im going to keep this short as well. The theme of this months Your Infinite Heart Zine is unconditional love. While unconditional love of others is an admirable and beautiful thing, all love must start within each of us. Simply put, you cannot give what you dont have. So how does one love oneself unconditionally? In my opinion it is this: Appreciate your strengths, talents and virtues while neither neglecting nor ignoring your weaknesses and flaws, but always striving to be the best possible you that you can be. If you are curious about how chiropractic care can help you be the best possible you, please call our office or stop in and talk to Dr. Kraig. Our website, www.lakemichiganchiropractic.com, has many health related resources to answer your questions. If you just need a good laugh, please find us on Facebook at Lake Michigan Chiropractic, LLC. After all, they say that laughter is the best medicine. Please be safe, careful, and warm out in our ever changing Southwest Michigan weather, and have a wonderful month. Dr. Kraig
