Welcome to The 81st Carnival of Healing. The carnival of healing is a weekly round-up of blogs across the Internet featuring information about healing, self empowerment, and spirituality.

The carnival is a great way to find new blogs and to read great healing related posts, each week.

You will find loads of great stuff in this week’s edition, and for those that might like to check previous carnivals you can find last weeks carnival at Wisdom of Healing and the carnival’s archives here.

So, let’s get started!

Alvaro Fernandez presents Brain Exercise FAQs from Brain Fitness Blog Why is brain exercise important, what are common “brain drains”, 3 quick exercises for mental fitness, good brain food.. and lots more in this post on brain fitness.

Patricia presents 7 Behaviors That Mess Up Communication: Are You Making A Good Impression? from A Better You Blog. “Have you ever felt puzzled by how others react to you? Do you want to improve communication in your family, your marriage, or other relationships? Are you wondering how to get along better with others at work? Here are 7 behaviors you can quickly change to smooth out differences and improve communication.”

Kevin Kinchen presents Creative Power of Thought - Thoughts Become Things from Creative Power of Thought. Discussions on the law of attraction. And creating the life you want.

Albert Foong presents How to be a rock in a chaotic world from Urban Monk. When hot be thoroughly hot, when cold be thoroughly cold. A post about going with the flow and rolling with the punches, without becoming a punching bag yourself. Interesting.

Lexi Sundell presents Road Reiki For Travelers from Energies of Creation. This post certainly pricked my attention, being a reiki person. Some interesting reading for both reiki and non-reiki people here. Lexi also explains a little about what is reiki.

Anmol Mehta presents 3 Most Powerful Yoga Pranayamas and Kriyas - Part 1 from Mastery of Meditation, Enlightenment & Kundalini Yoga Pranayama is breathing and breath control (says the post). This is a very detailed post and well worth a look if you find meditation and yoga interesting. I actually liked this so much I had to include another post from the site The secret on How to Become an Early Riser. Which to quickly summarize is all about passion. Not strapping your alarm clock to your forehead. But, finding the things that really drive you.

gia combs-ramirez presents We All Read Energy from The Science of Energy Healing. “Reading energy is our ability to perceive vibrations in our surrounding environment and interpret them correctly”

Aparna presents Bhramari Pranayam from Beauty and Personality Grooming. Another pranayama post, written in a very readable and personal style. I really liked this post too. Steps it out nicely for us, with method and benefits, very easy read.

Arun presents From Chubby to Studdly Part 1 from Arun is bringing you…Your Daily Remedy. Nice clear post. Down to earth and practical advice. I was a little un-sure what I was going to find when I read the title.. and I thought the before and after photos were nice. Good one Arun!

Shelly presents A chance to grow posted at Heart, Soul, and Body. About loss and grief. A post from the heart.

Raymond David Salas presents How to Reach Your Potential posted at ZenChill.com Power Tools Blog. I love zenchill, and Raymond serves us up another great post. Check it out!

Reb Chaim HaQoton presents Holy Songs posted at Reb HaQoton. “The term “song” as used in the Holy Scriptures (Shir and/or Shirah) refers not only to mere singing, but also to a unique type of spiritual phenomenon..”

Hueina Su presents The Most Important Relationship in Your Life posted at Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul. “Most people are either looking for love in all the wrong places, or entering/staying in a relationship for the wrong reasons.”

therapydoc presents When the Little Things Go Wrong posted at Everyone needs therapy? Lessons from a family therapist. Putting things in perspective. Relatively speaking. (Great blog)

Ririan presents 15 Warnings From Mom That You Needn’t Worry About posted at Ririan Project. This is a GREAT post. Ririan Project is yet another great blog you will hopefully discover (if you have not already) in this edition of the carnival of healing.. You will laugh out loud at this stuff.. it is just so true!

Shelly presents Changing your mind posted at Heart, Soul, and Body. “The power your mind has - both negative and positive is astounding”

David Richeson presents How to Keep Yourself Healthy posted at 360 Degree Success. “Let’s face it, getting sick sucks. If you’re working to accomplish goals and better yourself, you have to keep yourself healthy.”

Craig Harper presents Do It Yourself Prison posted at Motivational Speaker. We have left one of the best till last. The general consensus seems to be that Craig’s posts are getting EVEN better.. Check out the funny pics down the sides of the post too..

Well, I hope you found lots of great reading in this weeks carnival of healing, next week OptimistLab will be hosting, hope to see you there!
