Do you Really Want to Get Better?

One of my first clients was a woman, whom I’ll call Beth. Beth was sweet and shy, barely speaking above a whisper. She had been suffering with Fibromyalgia for two years, and shared with me how painful it was just being still—let alone going through the everyday tasks of living. This created a sphere of isolation and depression for her.

Knowing personally how isolating illness can be, my heart really went out to her. I was very excited to have the opportunity to work with Beth, and at that point, I had no idea to what extent the work would assist her. I just knew and trusted that the work would make the difference it needed to, as it always has.

Our first session amazed me. I observed the deep lines of pain disappear from her face, replaced by a soft smile as she drifted off into the Theta state of relaxation. (Theta is the brain wave state above Delta, a zone of deep relaxation, where one can drift in and out of awareness and can experience sensations of blissfully floating. For some, there is a multi- color show.)

As the session ended, I gently brought Beth back. The look of disbelief and wonder on her face was priceless. She had experienced a whole hour of uninterrupted rest without pain. We were both ecstatic.

Beth scheduled her next session for the following week. I saw her, a total of 4 times. Each session was basically a repeat in experience with significant improvements each time. Between sessions she was experienced less and less pain and I was seeing a whole different woman. She was smiling, happy, joking and dedicated to bringing balance and wellness back into her life.

Imagine my surprise on the day of her 5th visit; Beth did not arrive for her session, but her husband. He very politely told me, “my wife will no longer be coming to see you” and then he walked out. Needless to say it was a bit confusing.

Some time later, I began working with another woman, who I’ll call Janice. Janice had suffered from Chronic Fatigue for several years. Right from the beginning her sessions were making a powerful impact on her overall wellbeing. After just a few sessions, as with Beth, I began seeing a happier, healthier woman, filled with more energy and enthusiasm for life to match. Just as suddenly though, I was told by Janice herself, that she could no longer come see me.

As a practitioner it is always my hope that someone who comes to me wants to be healed. However, there are two very different lessons I learned from these experiences.
First, in Beth’s case, Beth’s illness created a very happy dynamic for her husband. It provided him with someone that was totally dependent on him and a clear road to make whatever decision he chose without question from Beth. As Beth began experiencing pain free days and became more confident, happy, outgoing and wanted to have more say in the day to day decisions etc., it began to create conflict with her husband. He was losing control. In his mind this threatened his happy home environment and the hammer came down—hard.

In Janice’s case, her situation was the opposite of Beth’s, she ruled the roost. Never required to assist in the day to day responsibilities, she pretty much did what she wanted and directed life from her chaise. She was lavished with anything and everything. When she began to feel better, her husband began asking for equal distribution of the responsibilities within the home…he no longer was willing to wait on her hand and foot. Dynamics changed and the holder of power began feeling threatened and there was only one recourse, to stop getting better in order to retain control.

I know. It seems crazy, right? Unfortunately, it’s true in both cases.

Learning from these experiences, I now say to new clients, this work will change your life. So you have to ask yourself in the interest of saving your time and money and my time. Do you really want to get better? You have to ask yourself am I ready to shift no matter what the consequences.

Are you ready?

HAPPINESS

If you ask someone what happiness means to them, chances are they would say: money in the bank; the car of their dreams; or a big house.

Unfortunately, western society keeps perpetuating the illusion of, The American Dream, when in fact, obtaining, maintaining and protecting assets can create just the opposite result--unhappiness.

Western style societies are riddled with stress and all the physical manifestations of it. A great deal of this has been brought on by excessive debt and very little time to enjoy family, friends, having “me” time or getting to play with our toys. Why? Because we are working so hard to keep the illusion alive.

Picture a juggler that has 20 balls in the air at once. He has no time to rest because it is a full time job keeping those balls from falling. This is what I call existing. It is not really living.

A friend recently made this statement, “here I am almost homeless, jobless and the happiest I have ever been”. Crazy? Not really. It’s amazing how happy we can be when we don't put requirements on it.

My philosophy in both my practice and personal life is this…Keep it simple.

I won’t define what would make me happy, but I can tell you what has made me happy. Happiness has come in many shapes and sizes in my life, from what I would have expected to the unexpected. They include:

Following and honoring my path

Yoga

Meditating

Making a difference

Coffee with friends

A good meal

Doing things that feed my soul

Thought provoking conversation

Being out in nature

Laughing, dancing, singing and playing… just to name a few.

How about you?

Mercury in Retrograde

Mercury went into retrograde, moving backwards, on Friday the 20th. “It is the planet of communication, particularly communication that honors the synthesis of content, context and timing”. When in retrograde it will affect all things pertaining to communication, whether written or oral and all things that provide communication, such as tv, radio, phone and computer. It will affect timing of things and people may sound like they are talking Greek, even you.

I recommend taking time to think before speaking, not to sign any contracts and if you really have to, then to read it over with a fine tooth comb and make sure that you cross every and dot every i. The good news is it will only last until September 12th.

Cardinal Grand Cross

There is a unique planet configuration reaching its climax this month. It is called the Cardinal Grand Cross. The definition of the Grand Cross is as varied as the multitude of people writing about it.

Based on the multiple sites I reviewed, and sticking with my philosophy of KIS (keep it simple) it basically boils down to this.

Some time ago certain planets began their journey toward forming this very rare configuration of planet alignment. The Grand Cross in itself is not uncommon, but what is rare about this particular cross, is it involves 7 planets, when typically it involves 4 to 5. The planets are the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus (pronounced your-on-us) and Pluto and they are all within a few degrees of each other as opposed to greater degrees of separation.

This, coupled with the lunar and solar eclipses as well as the increased solar flare activity we’ve experienced in the last couple of months, is shaking things up on our beloved Gaia and within humanity. One would have to be in complete denial to think that these events have no affect.

Some Astrologers believe this is the true ushering in of the Age of Aquarius. I believe the ushering in began a few years back, which has been a slow process, thankfully.

What really resonates with me is that the energies coming off this configuration serve to push all things in the dark into the light. They create intolerance for illusionary thinking and dishonesty from ourselves and from others. They force us to see things as they are.

Sound familiar? This event clearly reflects the information I channeled a few years back about this being the time of the great illumination, which I shared with you in my posts Beginning or End? 2012 and Standing Alone?.

It is also creating a wave of energy that will encourage us to complete anything unfinished and give us the power and creativity to move forward into new directions. How cool is that!

Folks we are in the front row seats, so put on your 3D glasses and strap yourself in. It’s going to be a hell of a ride. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

Universe is Speaking are You Listening?

Every day Universe is speaking to us in subtle ways and when we don’t pay attention, it could escalate until we get the equivalent of a 2 x 4 between the eyes. Early on, I experienced both methods. Now, a little older and I’d like to think a little wiser, I pay attention to the subtle signs that come my way and happily avoid the more painful alternatives.


If you’re heading in a specific direction and hitting brick wall after brick wall, this is Universe’s way of saying one of two things. This is not the path for you or your timing is off, so wait. However, if you’re cruising along and everything is practically falling in your lap, this is a green light to keep moving forward with the confidence you are moving in the right direction.

Universe is the master at manipulation and uses everything at its disposal to speak to us. It speaks to us through whispered knowing, gut feelings, or even through the four-legged, the winged ones, those that slither or swim, and let’s not forget the insect community, all of whom share our environment and are connected to us.

Over the years, I have come to appreciate the subtle way that nature speaks to me. For example, when a hawk flies across my path, I know to pay attention, something is coming. When I have an unusual sighting of an eagle, I know that I am flowing within Divine timing. When I engage raven or crow I am reminded that majic is all around me.
My extensive collection of feathers is a testament to the many confirmations to prayer I have received over the years. The most recent confirmation is the double rainbow, which I woke up to on Wednesday morning.

We all act as Universe’s angels at one time or another, including saying the right words or taking the right action in coming to the aid of someone we know or a total stranger.
Think about it. Have you not felt compelled to go in a different direction, only to find yourself coming to the aid of someone stranded on the side of the road or discovering later that you avoided an accident or delay on your usual route? There are times when someone comes to mind so strongly that you call, only to find out that they really needed someone to talk to at that moment.

Listening is about slowing down and paying attention. Signs are all around us, but if you are moving too fast or too wrapped in your own stuff, you could miss the most important message you will ever receive. Growing in the skill of paying attention will change your life—I guarantee it!

Beginning or End? 2012

Someone recently asked me if I believed there was any validity to the predictions for 2012.

If we were to believe what Hollywood’s movie, 2012, portrays then we are all doomed.

I do not subscribe to that scenario. I have it from high authority that the shift began some time ago. This process started out slowly and has been gaining momentum each passing day. Part of this process is the ever increasing vibration of Earth, which is affecting all life forms on the planet and yes that means you as well. Time is literally speeding up.

Yes, there are physical ramifications as well, from changes in global weather patterns to earth movements, such as earthquakes and volcanic activities. Gaia is giving herself over to the process--something she has done many times before over the millennia.

Each New Year I channel a message from the Mother. A few years ago I channeled the following message: This is the beginning of the great illumination, when all things in the dark will be brought into the light. All that is built on illusion cannot withstand the test of time and the Time is here. If we are not on the path we were meant to be, we will be shifted. The key is not to resist, but to move with the flow, not to allow fear to freeze us. So many are resisting. So many have bought into the illusion. So many are in pain.

Basically, all things based on illusion, which is low vibration energy, will not be able to hold integrity as vibrations rise. As a result, it will fall away or be left behind as everything else shifts. This is important, so I’ll repeat it. It will fall away or be left behind as everything else shifts.

It is my understanding based on what I have been given, that due to the increased vibration everything is shifting or rising, moving towards a higher dimension.

It is not that people will perish, but where their consciousness lays will determine if they shift forward or stay behind.

As all things of nature instinctively shift without reservation, movement forward is a given, unless a conscious choice to stay behind is made.

If you look at the breakdown in the economic systems worldwide, systems based on illusion, you will find a perfect example of what I am saying. As these systems are rooted in illusion, they are falling away. Due to its very nature of low vibration it cannot maintain its integrity.

Yes, it is scary. The very foundation of our reality is being shaken, but it is an opportunity to move forward into the light, the light of Truth.

It is time to let go of what was and shift into what is.
