These are the questions my clients often asked, so over the years, I sought to make the mind-body connection practice as easy as possible. I sought to make my explanations of how mind-body practices work as simple and easy to understand as possible. When you’re in pain, suffering, hating yourself, fighting against your body (how it looks, how much weight you’re carrying), feeling insecure, and completely stressed out, you don’t need something complicated to add to your life.

In fact, this is often the major problem for my clients. By nature, they are over-achievers. They put immense pressure on themselves to do things well, perfectly, or beyond all expectations. They want to excel, be responsible, be in control. When they do something, they do it all out. They think they need to do everything. They have trouble cutting themselves any slack. They judge themselves harshly. They use fear and to motivate themselves to keep going, going, going, beyond their limits.

I know, because this is how I treated myself, too. The result? Chronic tension and pain, a feeling of never doing or being enough, a sense that I was broken/there was something wrong with me, extra weight on my body, and the feeling that my own mind would drive me crazy with criticism.

For someone like me, with those tendencies, learning how to heal via the mind-body connection can become just another thing to do perfectly. I put pressure on myself to spend hours working on myself . Then, if I didn’t follow my strict plan, I’d berate myself. Of course, this didn’t exactly expedite my healing process or improve my mind-body connection. It simply created more stress and a nasty catch-22.

Finally, I caught on. I needed to actually listen to my body and do only as much “mind-body work” as felt right to me. 2 minutes of breathing could be incredibly useful. If I took the pressure off myself to do some elaborate plan and just followed what felt right and helpful, I was actually able to heal more quickly.

When I coach clients, they come in with all kinds of ideas about what they should be doing. In our first session, we usually find a way to take pretty much everything off their plates. We find the simplest, easiest, most enjoyable mind-body practice possible.

When I wrote my ebook, Hear Your Soul, Heal Yourself, I tried to convey this idea. By keeping it simple with four basic mind-body skills and a very easy way to use them in your life, I hoped to make it a relaxing experience to improve your mind-body-soul connection.

However, truth be told, I’m itching to see how it’s going for you. I know there are likely places where you might be struggling a bit, putting pressure on yourself, feeling confused, or just not quite sure how to put it all together. I want to talk to all of you. Of course, it’s a bit difficult to talk to every single person reading the book. That is why I decided to create a telecourse based on the ebook. That way, you can join me in a community discussion about the mind-body skills in the book. You can tell me where you’re struggling (which is likely where others are, too), and we can troubleshoot.

Writing is fun, but I LOVE talking. I love interacting with you and knowing what’s working and what isn’t. I love the constant conversation about mind-body healing with clients, class attendees, and Facebook. I love finessing the application of the mind-body skills to your particular issue. Nothing could be more fun! So, I’m inviting everyone who grabbed a copy of the ebook to join me in the upcoming Hear Your Soul, Heal Yourself Telecourse. If it sounds like something you’d enjoy or find useful, please do join in!

With my limited 1-1 coaching hours (though I’d love to coach everyone who wants coaching, I’d most definitely have to clone myself!), this gives you a highly affordable way to get the help and support you need in applying the ebook concepts to your healing, weight loss, confidence-improving, stress-relieving, or business-building journey. Whichever journey you’re on, we’ll have a blast tweaking and improving your mind-body process so that it really works for you. I can’t wait to answer your questions, coach you, and have a fabulously fun conversation with all of you about everything mind, body, and soul!

I’m currently typing madly, working out last-minute kinks, and otherwise frenziedly (yet with an underlying Zen-like calm, I’m sure) dashing around in preparation.

If you’re imagining me in mismatched yoga pants and sweatshirt, hair in a haphazard, utilitarian ponytail, and a dazed look on my face, you’ve probably got it about right.

There is one other thing…

I also have a round pooch to my belly. I’m proud to announce that on August 15, 2012 (or thereabouts), I’ll be giving birth to a baby, and this one won’t be a website. This one will be much noisier, I imagine.

So yes, for some reason, I have piled everything into the same time frame. First-trimester “morning sickness” (a big misnomer – more like “all day sickness”), writing a book, getting a website put together, running numerous coach trainings, and probably many other things I’ve forgotten in my pregnant fog.

It is all so worth it, though, because when we pull up the moving van to the new website, you are going to LOVE it!

Are you excited? Are you ready to participate? Well, you’re invited!

Here’s how you can join in on all the fun!

1)     Watch your email inbox. I’ll be announcing the new website as soon as it’s ready on Wednesday, February 22^nd! Anyone on the email list will get the news asap!

2)     Get ready to download the fabulous new ebook series, Hear Your Soul, Heal Yourself! (Don’t worry, you’ll get instructions.)

3)     Join me on Facebook! On February 22, I’m opening up a new Facebook page just for anamsong. The goal? To create an online community where we can converse about tuning into inner wisdom from your soul, building your coaching practice, relieving stress, gaining confidence, and relieving physical pain. I’ll be posting mind-body tips and tricks, and I hope you’ll join in the conversation.

4)     Party On! On February 29^th at 2 pm PT/3 pm MT/4 pm CT/5 pm ET, I’m hosting a Facebook party on the new anamsong Facebook page! Join me for an hour of free giveaways (virtual prize drawings!!) and Q and A with me about topics like stress and pain relief, business success, body image, or any topic you so desire! Ask me anything – for you, or about my experiences with pain and stress relief, business success, etc. Details will be out when the new Facebook page opens up on the 22^nd.

5)     Spread the word! Invite your friends to join in on Facebook, to read the Hear Your Soul, Heal Yourself ebook series with you, and anything else you’d like to do together around the new material. I’m hoping to create community and connection around the soul song concept!

And now, for a few thank-yous! This kind of business growth does not happen without a fantastic, incredible team. Nor does being a sick, pregnant, expectant mommy!

Thanks to Jessica Steward, CEO extraordinaire! I’d be hiding under my desk if it weren’t for her! For things too numerous to mention, but include reading copy until her eyeballs fell out, reading thousands of emails from me, and enduring Skype meetings while I was in above-mentioned mis-matched clothing and very nauseous.

Thanks to Bridgette Boudreau, for unfailing friendship and support, especially in those moments where I was sure everything I created really sucked.

Thanks to Beth Dargis, for fantastic VA work that keeps this business running like clockwork!

Thanks to Scott Steidley, for a reliable artistic eye, technology genius, fabulous photography, and husbandly hugs when it all seemed overwhelming. And for noticing when dinner was boiling over on the stove, things in the oven were catching fire, and other such important details. And for being a proud soon-to-be-dad.

Thanks to Janet Pashleigh and Delaine Ulmer for beautiful design work.

Thanks to Sara Bray and team for the best website design I could have possibly imagined.

Thanks to all my Endorsed Mind-Body Coaches and coaches-in-training for your enthusiasm in trying out new ideas with me, giving feedback, and being fabulous coaches to whom I can refer clients when completely over-booked.

And, as always, thanks to Mom. Aka Willie Moyle. For artistic input, constant encouragement, and support beyond measure (including cooking delicious meals!). And Dad, aka Jerry Moyle, for being a willing test case for many of the new materials, incredibly helpful feedback, for also cooking delicious meals, and for baking homemade bread.
