End of Year Nostalgia and Rambling

These past few weeks I have been putting together everything I have learned about energy over the past 20 years. Energy is all we are, yet in our resistance to the natural flow we create obstacles, disruptions, irritations and find ourselves battling within. Though I have practiced and taught heart mind body integration for a few years, the clarity of it all has suddenly become ever more apparent.

You have heard me speak of emotions vs feelings, illness vs disease, allowing vs acceptance. All of the similarities and opposites come as a result of allowing natural flow according to who we are deep at the core of our being. The flip side is also true, these similarities and opposites occur when we resist our highest good, believing we know everything there is to know about who we truly are. Through meditation and a growing understanding of energy, meridians, neurovascular points, and in becoming clearer about the way energy flows through us or stagnates has created many aha moments.

The ending of a year always puts me into a state of nostalgia. What have I accomplished? What could I have done better? How will I use my time in the coming year to make improvements? Part of this questioning has led me to two wonderful teachers. All of a sudden, what I have studied, learned and practiced makes so much sense, in terms of healing, living, creating. It was always there. I could see each individual gift, but the package of it all eluded me. Isn't that true with every area of life? All we desire is right in front of us, but we need to clear energy, and stagnant beliefs in order to see the larger gift within each small moment of time.

Have you ever felt stuck, or believed that what was happening in your life was fate, or God's Will, yet at the same time deep within, knew it was time for you to shift?  Not wanting to interfere with Higher Power, you stay in acceptance, not unhappy, but perhaps feeling guilty for not stepping up for what you believe to be true for your life? Not sure guilt is the right word, it may be a sense of unworthiness. Whatever the underlying emotion, you stay the course, while wondering what is missing.....

Who would believe that a few simple exercises done in minutes a day could change your perceptions of the world, all while increasing your health? And I have to say, none of the energy stimulation done, requires muscle, brawn or sweat. It is not that any of this was new to me, it was just a matter of making a decision to actually take the 10 - 15 minutes to run the routine. Why is it even when we know something will enhance our lives immensely, we find so many excuses not to take the steps? With all I thought I knew about energy, I realize I have not been optimizing mine. So to begin again, clear my mind of what I believe to be true and allow even more truth to whisper in, and settle wherever energy has closed off my ability to see the infinite possibilities of life.

I can't wait to get this all put together in a deliverable package, to share with you. The New Year will welcome additional strength to the healing modalities I now offer, and I will be updating Chakra Classes, Meditation, and Color workshops. I am excited, not just for expanding my sense of wellness, but to be able to assist others in living their best life.

The greatest "aha" is knowing that in being true to ourselves, we do not need to manipulate energy, to have the health and happiness we long for. In our truth we become the catalyst for our greatest desires. Time slows down, energy lifts, pain disappears, to the extent we are willing to allow the natural flow of energy to propel us. When we stop resisting and begin allowing everything falls quietly into place.

When I wrote "Don't Change For Heaven's Sake", I had a sense releasing and getting back to the basics of clean living was important. It is the first step in the process. The practices done daily, with awareness will lead to alignment with your energy pattern. Now is the time to see where the pattern is being challenged, restricted, eluded, and make the shifts to enhance rather than discourage, what the body needs to help the mind and heart align with "All that Is".

Over the past year I have been writing a new book, asking each of us if we can take responsibility for our creation. Can we step up to our purpose in being alive at this time? Perhaps the questions have led me to these wonderful gentle answers. Writing has once again become easy. Life has more meaning and as I begin to feel the difference in me, I long to share it with the world. Being true to yourself is so much more than just being in acceptance of who you are, but to be aware of how you could allow yourself to be happier, healthier, more abundant, more loving, more forgiving.

Do you make it a practice to review the previous year and set goals for the coming year? Do you take time to write your experiences out, rambling through the good, bad and indifferent? Can you use what you have learned to this point, to create an even better year to come?

Now is the time of year to clear the past, set intentions for the future, and give thanks for what has been and will be. Not sure how to do that? I would love to help.

Many Blessings to All of You!

Caring Gossip is Still Hurtful

In "Don't Change For Heaven's Sake" I wrote about common obstacles to a happier life. One major pitfall is what I call Caring Gossip.  Most of us are aware of how just plain gossip affects others but we often forget that involving ourselves because we care about someone can be just as harmful.

I write about this now, because it seems to be a prevalent condition at this time - not just in our community but around the world.

Following is a quote for the book

I admit I am still working on the “caring gossip”.  You know the kind where someone just wants to help a friend because of their troubles.  They tell others in order to bring support into the situation…..  It seems harder to stop someone who is not being malicious, but still I know if that person wanted me to know their “stuff” they would call me.  You know it too.  Why is another’s pain, loss, fear, lack so interesting? 

This is not to say you will not reach out to someone in crisis.  There is a difference between just talking about a situation and helping out someone in the community. 
We do not know whether there is even a problem, yet if we think it would cause us pain or worry, we assume another must be affected in the same way. If we don't know the whole story, our questions or version of the story may be the bringer of pain or a change for the worse in the circumstances of others. This is usually done without ill intention on the part of the gossiper, but it does not make it any less harmful.

For the next 30 days try, just one day at a time to stop yourself when you find you are talking about another person's "stuff". If you feel another needs your help, or support go to them directly. If they share with you, keep it to yourself. If you are the confidante of a friend, keep it to yourself. Here is my suggestion from the book:

Try this – For 30 days, listen to your friends, but don’t pass it on.  How has it changed your conversations; your self- respect?  When the 30 days are up, make a choice to stop passing on gossip, then begin changing the subject or clarifying that you are not interested in what the neighbors are doing. (Be interested only if your neighbors choose to share with you.) See and feel the difference.  One day at a time will lead you to stronger friendships. 

Loyal friends are important if you are trying to create your own heaven here on earth.  Treasure the trust of friendships.
Writing this has been a good reminder for me as well. Stronger communities, depend on stronger friendships. Let's all think before we speak, the world will be a better place.

Blessings

2013

As the new year approaches I reflect on all the changes in my life since the year 2000. This year as then, we are offered new vibration, new energy to take us into the Age of Aquarius and out of the Iron Age. What are the possibilities? What does all of the "hoopla" over 2013 mean?

13 years ago I was faced with living the rest of my life in a wheelchair. For someone as independent and stubborn as I, that was not an option. I had two choices. I could fall into self-pity and allow my body to give up on me or I could find a way to bring back the health and vitality I had so long enjoyed. I chose the second option. It has led me into a world of possibilities for everyone living with chronic pain or dis-ease.

As I sit this morning with nostalgia I realize just how much I have learned and how much more there is to life than what we notice on the surface. Aquarius brings us deeper into our emotions and asks us to connect our hearts with our minds, to open to a world of all possibilities. Some may look at my life and think. "What has she accomplished?" On the surface it seems like very little. Yet, I can honestly say I have created exactly what I believed I could create.

I look at my 10 year goals set in 2002 and realize I have met each one of them. I am still walking, I have written and published 3 books, (1 more than planned), I have discovered the tools for manifesting health in body and mind, and cleared my heart of the anger and resentment, opening life to a place of joy and gratitude no matter what is happening around me. My daughter has grown into a beautiful woman(inside and out) and I am grateful to those in this community who have assisted in meeting this goal, for I alone cannot take credit for her amazing character. It is true when we put the goals on paper, the Universe provides all the help we need to meet them. I have found the faith to accept that everything happens for a reason.  I have found the courage to offer these tools to others.

In retrospect, I should have set higher goals. There is so much more to be done. In review of my annual goals there are some not met. The decision now is, are they goals worth pursuing? What are the possibilities for the next 3 years, 5 and 10? I recently took a course and became certified in the Book of Life (Akashic Records) and have had a glimpse of what the Universe offers all of us. Though the world did not end as many believed would happen, a new phase began for the world. We moved into Aquarius and the Bronze Age, allowing us all to drop our materialistic way of life and begin living from the heart. We have the opportunities now to live from our greatest desires for community, family and friends, in fact for the whole planet. This age will present new challenges as we begin to take responsibility for what is happening around us and step into our integrity of what is right and wrong. It will become difficult to stand by and watch others be wronged, when we know we have the power to make it right. We will no longer accept face value of what is good for us, and begin to listen to our bodies and hearts, both of which tell us quite boldly what is best for us. We will step out of the selfish aspect of what is right for us as individuals and realize that when we put ourselves first, in terms of health and well-being, everyone around us benefits. When we choose love and acceptance of ourselves, loving others for who they are becomes easier.

As I begin training as a Life Force Coach, I see many more ways to assist others in finding their inner joy and well-being. Life is sacred, but do we understand the depth of what life is really offering? Why are we here becomes more than just about "me" and becomes more about "us". As you move into this New Age, take a deep breath, and think about the idea, that each person, breathes this same air, and what in truth is the air you breathe? We all live as vibration of energy. What vibration are you? What vibration exists around you? What vibration would you choose to be and have? This is something to think about as you set your goals for 2013.

I realize as I sit writing this, sniffling and coughing that I still have much to release. One of my goals will be to dig deeper into the understanding of the body/mind/heart connection and clear the vibration of toxic environments, foods, supplements and pharmeceuticals. I will pay more attention to what my heart is telling me, so my body does not have to be tired and ill. There is still so much to learn and to share with others. My goals for this coming year, will be around the opportunities to learn and share, with the hope of raising the vibration within and around me to a place of even greater unconditional love, gratitude and peace, which will lead to greater well-being for everyone.

Blessings to All in this New Age
