We are human beings, ever in process, changing over time – sometimes profoundly. We are human becomings, capable of great change and adaptability – sometimes quite rapidly. We are alchemists and wizards, capable of shifting our perspective in the blink of an eye – and changing the world.
A Place For Us and Embrace Your Magic extend an invitation to you to evolve – transform – calibrate to the realms of divine mystery and the music of the spheres so that you can dance with your soul in the sacred gathering spaces of the light and channel a new sound, a new light frequency.
Today is a magical day:
• Catapult yourself out of “business as usual” and life’s inertia and celebrate yourself as holy grail on a quest of adventure to the higher realms and the enchanted realms of ease, grace and a divine matrix of wonder.
• Live CONSCIOUSLY and change your conception of who you are and who you thought you had to be
• “Go for the gold” that is inside you and honor your uniqueness
• Discover the magic of the arts, nature, transformational energy work – and – life as you know it
Shift your perceptions of yourself, the world, and yourself in the world sometimes by gazing at art, wearing art, or sometimes by making art, performing it, or being in the process of creativity, and sometimes by receiving a nurturing so profound that you are forever transformed, awakened and fulfilled.
With Melanie and her colleagues at Embrace Your Magic, you will discover, examine and play with the assumptions that drive your life and how these perspectives may shift to transform you and all you are.
And if this and anything on here at aplaceforus–thesite.com helps you – as adults – imagine how it might help young people who are just beginning to learn about self-nurturing and positive mental attitudes, and about how music, movement, and sacred touch principles such as Reiki can support them in life.
See from a place of the possible, from the place of love that is your birthright.
Gaze and breathe deep and slow at any ART on this site. Allow yourself to move with your breath slowly and easily – discovering what your body needs.
Wander, explore, find and choose links, music, and reading material that call to you and listen to the whisperings of divine guidance.
We ask to calibrate you to your highest best good now.
In love and light,
Melanie A. Stinson, LMT
Weaver of Yarns, Crystal-Sylph & POFFF Master

It is possible. We are on our way. We’ve been here a long time and the enchantment of our lives calls to us every moment.
Listen, seek your own song, your own music, find your laughing place and celebrate–dance to the music. Any way is okay. Any old… any new way.
Many blessings.

When children no longer want to go to school, they don’t do well. They may develop all sorts of weird symptoms and start getting sick in order to miss school and avoid whatever traumatic situation is at the root of their distress.
EFT has been shown to help adults and young people with test anxiety. Reiki is a genuinely powerful relaxation and stress relief technique being used around the globe today, often in places that serve families. It is advocated by licensed medical professionals.
Metaphor and language can help reframe a child’s experience. The adult world is not a young person’s world no matter how much we might think that it is. Children want love. We all do. We just don’t know how to ask for it or know what to do if we aren’t able to experience it in acceptable ways wherever we may be.
Meditation helps with focus. If a child is distracted, relaxing and then learning to focus may feel extremely empowering. This can allow a child to feel safer and more able to cope with whatever is troubling them.
Movement is a part of every child’s life. When we ask young people to sit still, we are doing great damage. The brain works better when we move. Probably no one knows this better than athletes, dancers, performers, musicians, and great orators, who may have felt repressed in school until they came to some aspect or class that allowed them to express themselves while standing, using their limbs, and moving about the room. Recess is not sufficient for this, although it invigorates the brain and being with fresh air and sometimes an encounter with nature. Physical education, valuable as it is, is not concerned with that which is being addressed in this article.
Educators have a great responsibility toward those they teach, because everything they do and say has a lifelong impact upon their students. For this reason, it is very important that homeschooled and public school children and youth be empowered by allowing them to make their own decisions, within a set structure, and teaching them how to best deal with the outcomes of their decisions. It is important for young people to be encouraged to develop a close relationship with their inner selves, their sense of themselves that they carry inside, and to become aware of reactions and feelings each may have in a group, especially in school.
APlace4Us is committed to helping children through a variety of means. In addition to the above types of activities, APlace4Us has links to other options. Melanie A. Stinson, the web master of this site, has developed art and writing designed to work with young people. She uses children’s imaginations and an attitude of play to enable children to discover what works best for them in addressing their symptoms and concerns. Children may talk, share, write, draw or investigate through nature, working with stones, plants, or images, and learning the language that they speak but may have been unable to articulate to other “grown ups” and authority figures.
e greatly evolved, children can still sense a stigma with regard to seeing a therapist or school counselor, or even speaking to their teacher, especially if those around them hold a sense of unease or disrespect for the techniques used by these professionals.
Melanie is looking to connect to those people and organizations who can best help her reach young people in need of the services she offers. If you or your child could benefit, please contact Melanie. She works with children individually, and her services are geared to your resources. She will speak to you clearly about the situation that she encounters.
An Ohioan, Melanie is available for school visits in northwest Ohio and in New York City (when she is there visiting or arrangements have been made for her to be in the area). She loves to compare notes with teachers about what they notice in the classroom and can often help teachers reach new solutions for the situations that may have arisen.
Through a special long distance technique that can be set up via e-mail or phone, Melanie can work with children who are not in the same location as she is. She has worked with a sick baby in Jakarta and a teen in Virginia who was later diagnosed as having ADHD.
Melanie is hoping to adapt some of her methods as podcasts, DVDs or Internet videos. More information about those will be available in the future.
Please visit The POFFF for some free options young people may enjoy in privacy as they encounter the world of global connection.

I do love open space–it allows me room for swashbuckling and other reminders of what I’m all about–writing vividly.
This home would allow nature in. (I’m getting that nature can be chaotic; it is not all pristine.) Ahh. This home is for play, and play often needs large open space to it, so one can roam, or move expressively, or give some sort of theatrical performance.
