§ § § § § § www.transitions-counseling.com : Where Your Help Begins OnlineSMWelcome to the TRANSITIONS Counseling Online Resource Links! Every effort has been made to develop this links page into a comprehensive gateway to a spectrum of counseling, psychological, personal growth and recovery-oriented interests. This is a growing page, and since the Net is constantly changing, I cannot guarantee a successful link in every case. These sites were reviewed at the time of listing to determine that they are
child-safe (but remember all links connect to links…).I chose sites that might be of use to you that ALSO are in accord with my training, theoretical orientation and focus of practice. If you are considering working with me in counseling, your feeling in-sync with these sites may be a sign of therapeutic compatibility. The content you can find at these sites will be helpful to you if you are still working on the idea of entering counseling, and if you are already in counseling, it will likely enhance your progress.

Random Acts of Kindness Page Angels Camp Official Kindness Zone
Random Acts of Kindness Project
Random Acts of Kindness w/ Oprah Winfrey
Join the kindness revolution! We hear so much about negative aspects of the world in the news, but there also is a spiritual revolution of everything positive. Look for evidence of this world polarization and make a decision about your place here. These web pages will inspire you to try things that can give you joy and peace of mind. The feeling of unity and fulfillment that service brings has more potential for creating a sense of wellbeing than all of the psychotherapies ever devised! The angels at Conari Press describe random acts of kindness as, "Those little sweet or grand lovely things we do for no reason except that, momentarily, the best of our humanity has sprung, exquisitely, into full bloom." If we begin by practicing these acts at home, then by-all-means extend our practices out into the world, we will find that occurrences of our acts of kindness become no longer random, but out of our very nature; the very nature of Life.

The Braindance Site Humor has powerful healing properties, psychologically and physically. Surprise and delight are key ingredients, often combined with a topic involving unresolved conflict. Being able to laugh allows us to open up to our discomfort, or surprise, and tension is released. Check out these clean-humor (Yahoo-identified) sites. Some are wild/wacky, or strange, or even spiritual. All are funny. See if a tour through the cyber-humor realm lightens life a little for you!
Ray Lynch's Home Page Who of us would deny the apparent healing potential of music? Over recent years, this awareness has been blossoming into a science. These pages link you to people who create healing music (listen to samples of their work) and to others who use music directly as a therapeutic tool. Perhaps the samples and themes will connect with you. The Garden as a Healing Place So much of our suffering these days comes at least partly because of our being so out of contact with nature. These links are but a few connections you can make toward including nature as a part of your healing process. From Dr. Marilyn Barrett's inspiring article on experiencing healing through the garden setting, to exploring links for approaches that best meet your needs, you can begin that reconnection here.
