Stories of Service and The Path of Love

I had the honor of working at a retirement home yesterday. Whew..Most of the folks were like babies..Not quite cognitive, yet functioning and somewhat smiley. The client I worked was an old woman, who is bedridden most of the time with diabetes, lots of pain in her body and a spirit of gold.

It was time for the session to begin. I opened up to guidance and allowed the message to come. Before I work with someone, I take a deep breath, close eyes, tune in and see whats there. Her higher self let me know: It was a gift to massage this body that had so much pain. To feel good when it constantly feels so bad really makes a positive difference. I bow and am honored to be able to be present and share this light and joy.

Once into it, I could sense the pain was deep in her emotional body. There were emotional issues unresolved that were affecting the physical body. I knew this because of my own emotional responses I have had in the past. I understand how it works. So I think, anyway.

I can sense her spirit is getting ready to leave. She is bedridden and has nurses change her bed pad on a regular basis. She is like a babe and is constantly complaining. I feel she may not have had many needs met in the past and is still carrying the pain of longing for healing. I could be wrong. These hits come and go when I work with people. Sometimes it matters and sometimes not. What is of value here is the love and compassion grows inside of me as we continue, shes feeling good and we are both happy.

She is demanding when I work on her, knowing what she likes and I am happy to ablige. Almost every time I ask or tell her something, she cannot hear me but I feel connected. "Perfect," she says and "uh-huh" with an umph. I smile and my heart opens to let her know It does not matter what our words are, because I have pure love for her and I am grateful.

My friend is getting ready to give birth. I felt the innocence and awareness of the spirit as I massage her. We discuss the vibrations and thoughts and energies of this being. We agree. She is honored and they are both powerful. I am grateful to work with them. I feel deep love.

****************************************************

I met a man in the parking lot today. He told me everything and everyone is God, even the haters. We need eachother to create peace. And if we pray for the children who suffer, there can be change...Healing, loving and sharing guides my life. I am grateful.

****************************************************

Aging bodies
Precious babies
timeless spirits

Inside,
feelings and thoughts
merge as one

Loving the light,
the dark unknown
mystery..

Doubts seen
hearts healed
Truth felt..

Again, I am grateful

Equinox Healing Thoughts (and feelings)

Its Autumn Equinox this week. Below are some thoughts about moving through the heaviness of the changing energies.

I realized some time ago that the way I receive guidance and transformation in the world is through how things feel. My mother helped me with that when I was a child. I asked her what all these detailed dreams meant I was having. She said what is important is how I FEEL about my dreams. I have since discovered a way to trace the meaning of what I am dreaming and feeling by going within and being with whats going on. This applys to my "waking" and "dreaming" life.

I must admit that feeling my way through life is not always been fun or easy, yet it is absolutely necessary to obtain the liberation and freedom I so love. Sometimes what I feel emotionally is frustration, anger, fear, apathy or rejection. I know it is important to be able to own it in order to move through and grow spiritually. If I feel it, express , breathe, release, pray and invite peace, it is possible to experience the gift of whats going on. This is the natural process I have discovered that truly works.

The below practice can be practiced alone or with a partner/friend who is supportive. If you are alone, sit and talk to either Nature, God/Goddess, Your higher self or spiritual guides(or all of the above!) If sharing with another person, see them as a divine knowing being.

1. Take a deep breath
2. Feel it..
3. Talk it out.
4. Notice if the feelings relate to other experiences from the past.
5. Be with it. Breathe.
6. Ask for a fresh perspective/guidance.
7. See what comes.
8. Choose a story of how things would look if this issue was cleared.
9. Feel the joy of living how you want.
10. Feel the healing of the love and support.
11. Give Thanks.

The Mind vs The Heart, Sacrifice and Love

OUR HEADS/OUR HEARTS
In our modern world, people have been using their heads too much. looking objectively at life is a good thing; But when we think our way through solutions,often we may "think ourselves out of" following the intuition.


Intuition is so underrated sometimes!I am surprised at how much we still depend on fear in our world to make decisions. What this often looks like is talking ourselves out of what feels good because of some reason that is apparently SMARTER than our own intuitive nature. For example, someone may say to you: "You should do this in order to make money..this is best opportunity of your life!" or "I have to do this job, even though it sucks because I need to make money. Something inside your heart just says NO and you settle.

SACRIFICE
According to Native American teacher, Jamie Sams, the word sacrifice traditionally had a much different meaning than it does today. Most people now think of sacrifice as giving up your own thoughts, feelings and needs in order to support others, work and serve the world.In times when we honored The Earth Mother, and thus our bodies and eachother, sacrifice was seen as a "Give Away." This is not giving away your own needs! It is the giving away that which we do not need in order to be true to our own hearts. Then, we can serve others in integrity and love while meeting our own needs at the same time.

The future generations deserve to feel empowered to give, not depleted. So do we. Magically , it is those prayers of the ancients that help us to see the beauty and love of remembering NOW. Remember your care and self love enables you to love others more deeply. Its the law of vibration and its real.

Love yourself.

Loving the self enables the heart power to awaken. Ancient ayurvedic texts say the mind is located in the energetic heart center in the body. This can be seen by taking a moment look at hand jestures we naturally use when communicating. When you say "I am...." you may point to your chest, the heart area or place the palm on the chest. We do not point to our heads and say "I feel.."

LOVE and LIVE JOY
When we listen to the mind of the heart, everything is real. There is no overriding belief or thought against the intuition. We feel right about things. We feel strongly in a peaceful way. The more we choose the voice of love, compassion and truth, the less we need to figure everything out. Now thats a relief.

Living Blissful: Healing tools

Last weekend I was blessed to sit with one of the Grandmothers from the 13 Grandmothers Council. There is no doubt, this elder was being her potential. Thank you! http://grandmotherscouncil.com

Agnes Baker Pilgrim

We grandmothers have come from far and wide to speak the knowledge we hold inside. In many languages we have been told it is time to make the right changes for our families, for the lands we love. We can be the voice for the voiceless. We are at the threshold. We are going to see change. If we can create the vision in our heart, it will spread. As bringers of light, we have no choice but to join together. As women of wisdom we cannot be divided. When the condor meets the eagle—thunderbirds come home.

Present was also a keeper of 11 pure white Buffalo, representing the promise prophecy of world peace as predicted by many Native American tribes.

Also at this gathering was Dr Emoto. This video shows how our thoughts affect water. Since humans and the Earth Mother are 70% water, imagine what harmony and beauty we can create for healing and world peace.

Listen to them. Watch and feel their passions.

Listen to them. Honor the Wisdom and repect aging, you too will get old and will face fears of death, (if you have not already) :)

7 years of spiritual training

Since childhood, I have been told I am "special." Now, as an adult woman, I finally understand what the means. Offering healing work allows me to share my gifts with the world and I am honored to share them with you.

This technique is so beautiful and powerful. I am honored to have spent the last 7 years working with my teacher , Lania Desmond, to be able to offer this work in the world.

When I first found out about long distance work, I was indeed skeptical. But even in my skepticism, there was some little feeling inside myself wanting to trust in the "invisible" world. I was silently hoping to find magic and beauty more and more in my life. SO...I trusted my teacher, because IT FELT GOOD!

Now, after years of initiations and practice, I am in full trust of the power of my higher self. When I tune in for guidance and to do sessions for clients, there is a POWER that exists beyond my ordinary everyday state of mind. This ENERGY is the guidance system present in ESSENCE WORK sessions and it is MAGICAL.

When I offer sessions, I step out of the way and let our higherselves guide the session. I could not learn this technique in a weekend course. Life has presented opportunities to be able to offer you this work. I can work on you, no matter where you live!

I am honored to have the opportunity to share with you. Please contact for inquiries. 828-545-2867.

A day of TRUE beauty
The energies of Nature continue to amaze and create wonder. Yesterday, a trip to the local farmers market yielded us beautiful local fruits an greens to bless the meals we partake in this weekend. Following a late afternoon walk and meditation on the beach, I filled the water jugs from a spring in the redwoods while singing loud praises to the Earth Mother and all her creation. I made up a chant and repeated a variety of verses with variations for a while...

Oh Sacred Water!
Holy is this land;
All of life is sacred,
This is where I stand!

The trees held space while the birds appreciated and returned my song with voices of joy. In the night, we made it to the beach and shared music by the fire with some new friends, busting out all the oldies but goodies.

Sustainability
This day is the type of day that creates sustainability. I am filled with gratitude and ease. My mind is not overcoming my body. I am not doing affirmations. I am feeling the energies around, opening up to them and welcoming the peace and light. There is a FEELING going on inside and it is inspiring. When I am filled in this way, I am inspired to show up for life. NOw, sharing my gifts is easy. I am sustainably working for a better planet, a better life for myself and all of my relations. With gratitude, I am content.
