About Brightest Blessings Creations...A sincere, and warm welcome to Brightest Blessings Creations, where you are invited to learn how to shape and create your own Brightest Blessings in Mind, Body, & Life... As a Registered Nurse, who’s served in healthcare for almost twenty years, I, along with a growing number of healthcare professionals, see the need to re-define what we call ‘health and healthcare’ in the medical field. Health is so much more than a list of do’s and don’ts – or submitting ourselves to surgeries, medications and treatments. It’s also about what we think and feel, our behaviors and attitudes, and our relationship to all parts of the self – as well as life. Our relationship to our internal and external environments begins at the quantum level and expands through the self, out into our family, societal, and global/universal environments. It’s like weaving cloth, all the threads are relational to the whole fabric, and each pattern created is different. Although we can try to follow one cookie cutter pattern, all threads are unique in their own way, as will be the fabric that is formed – Perhaps it looks the same on first glance, but when you look closer, you’ll see the individuality unmistakably showing itself. That’s why the same medication can have the exact opposite affect on two individuals who have the same diagnosis, and are taking the same dose, at the same time, etc. It’s why people can go in for the exact same surgery, and come out with different results. Although in the mechanical model of illness and disease prevention, we try to provide a list for perfect health, there is no ‘one’ formula, because there is no 'one' way to heal… there is only your way. Our experience with the healthcare system, be it hospitalizations, medications, therapy, treatments, etc., is intrically related to our individual patterns and interactions with internal, and external environments, as is the manifestation of dis’ease’, and wellness, i.e. Magical Mondays. Healing (which is not synonymous with curing, but can certainly include it) is about becoming consciously aware of patterns that keep us ‘out-of-healing’ (you don’t have to spend years dissecting them, or understanding ‘why’) then finding ways to change, transform, and heal them. It’s also about taking the stories that we consciously, or unconsciously tell ourselves about who we are, what we are, and what life is, that do not validate us, give deep ‘life-giving’ meaning to our experiences, or support our potential for living a life of wondrous possibilities, and finding our way to re-write these stories, thus changing, transforming, and transcending those patterns that no longer serve us. Ultimately, in the in-between-moments of it all, it’s also about accepting
our-selves right here and now, and allowing our-selves, and life to be perfectly
imperfect Brightest Blessings Creations will be bringing you information through articles, books, and educational courses and presentations. The few products that will be available are developed in support of small ways to > BIG change, turning our attention and perception ever so slightly, and shifting the relationship of mind, body, life. As a nurse practicing holistic nursing its important to let you know that healthcare professionals who practice from a holistic paradigm, aren’t abandoning our traditional healthcare roles – we’re integrating and expanding them. For example, what holistic nurses provide must be founded on medical science, theory, research, nursing standard of practice, and scope of practice under state licensing, as well as training and expertise. What we are doing is providing you with greater knowledge, greater choices, and greater empowerment when it comes to your life, health, and well-being, as we are extracting knowledge for a greater understanding of the ‘Universe of Self’. As a holistic nurse, I support an expanded concept of the inextricable journey of self, life, joy, pain, love, ease, dis’ease’, and our health, and within it all, the gift of Brightest Blessings. Holistic healthcare is an amazing medical
and healthcare paradigm that explores how we can experience ourselves ‘wholly’.
One cannot journey along a holistic path of understanding without facilitating
greater awareness
that becomes the hands that shape our lives, even as we are shaped, by these
very hands. Healing holistically isn't based on a mechanical model of sickness,
but rather the transcendent experience of learning to embrace our selves
fully, and finding meaning and value in ALL our experiences. Pain and dis ‘ease’,
if they come, are not the enemy (although it’s okay to view them as
the enemy if this perception helps you to heal Brightest Blessings Creations brings your journey, and my own, along the
same path for a time, as I share what I’ve learned, and what I am continuing
to learn as a healthcare professional, educator, holistic nurse, integrative
healthcare practitioner, continual life student, and human being To those whose dreams silently slumber… may they be awakened by a
kiss from the soul… Brightest Blessings, Mayling
