Welcome to my blog. Here you will find whatever is bringing me joy right now.
Please join me in this spiritual agreement, from my mentor and friend, Jana Massey:
"Together we agree that everything that we think, that we say and that we do at this time will be of the highest good. And together we ask for truth, the understanding of that truth and the wisdom to use it in our lives."
Thank you.
This seven minute video can help to heal our psychological wounds and create healthy changes in our lives. Forgiveness frees us to process our experiences and unburden ourselves so we can come to greater understanding and more gentleness with ourselves and with others.
Hello everyone. I hope that you enjoy this hour long video that I did at Spirit Winds Physical Therapy. It shows you how easy it is to engage the powerhouse of your subconscious mind so you can create the life of your dreams. I hope that you benefit from these simple tips as much as I have.
One of my favorite types of meditation is the Guided Imagery Mediation. This type of meditation engages our image center or our imagination. It stimulates our clairvoyant function by activating our third eye. Meditations of this nature guide us through an idea or an image. When we do a guided imagery meditation, we can either listen to a prerecorded meditation or we can guide ourselves through the process using our own thoughts. My first exposure to guided imagery meditation was with a prerecorded forgiveness meditation. This was on an audio tape that was made by Louise Hay, who wrote You Can Heal Your Life. I listened to this almost every night on my little tape player while I was healing from a painful and long term injury. Louise's gentle, loving voice, playing through my ear-buds, helped me to more easily manage the pain and often lulled me into sleep. In this meditation, she asked her listeners to imagine our parents as little children, to see them as innocent, to forgive them, to pick them up, hold them lovingly, and then place them right into my heart. Another great teacher of this type of meditation is Shakti Gawain. She headed me down the path of guided imagery meditations with her remarkable book, Creative Visualization. I welcome you to discover for yourself this little book and the life changing wisdom within it for yourself. One of her readers said that it was like being led by the hand into a beautiful garden and being given a single flower, one after another, to marvel at and enjoy. I'd like to share with you today a few of my favorite guided imagery meditations. The first one is the pink bubble technique. Take a minute to imagine a pink bubble, with your eyes either opened or closed. Place into the bubble any worrying thoughts you may have. Close the door on that bubble if there was one, and see the bubble lift off and start to float away. Let it float over the distant horizon, perhaps even over a mountain, and know that it has gone to its next, most highest placement in the universe for its transformation. A dear friend of mine who has since moved to the east coast taught me about the healing modality of Regenesis. This is a technique where the practitioner imagines a beautiful blue light entering into each and every cell of the client's body. This is the light of regeneration. I have taken this idea and altered it slightly to create a wonderful guided imagery meditation for myself that I do every day. In it, I imagine the blue light of Divinity entering in through the crown of my head and igniting all of my cells, one by one. In just a few moment's time it fills my whole body with the loving light of my higher self. This guided imagery meditation is part of what I do when I clear myself before I do my clairvoyant healing work for a client. Another beautiful guided imagery mediation is to imagine a golden disk or a golden halo over the top of your head. Let this halo be a filter. Your thoughts can come and go, but all the thoughts of others are naturally sifted away. This lets us really focus on being who we are in accordance with our original blueprint, our natural being, our true self. I'll leave you with these few meditations to enjoy this week. May they serve you as well as they have served me.
Hello everyone. I've just created this little video with my dear friend Einar Berg. It's called Learning Self Love. We can not give what we do not have. Learning Self love is one of the most important things we do in our sanctuary. This let's us have more love in our lives and in our relationships. Join me for this brief video on how we can learn to love ourselves.
We do have free will. One of the things that we can absolutely choose is where we place our thoughts and our mind. This can be like simply picking up the reigns on a runaway horse. It is easier than you would think. We all experience hardships. Life is rife with them. But our difficulties are here to help us grow. They are the obstacles that cause us to leap even higher. There are common obstacles that we encounter, these blocks seem like they prevent us from spending every moment rejoicing in gratitude. Grief of course, is huge. So is lack of forgiveness, along with a lack of compassion and understanding. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross identifies the five stages of grief. They are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. After having experienced 18 deaths in 24 months and crying buckets full of tears, I became aware that the time we spend in grief can vary greatly, depending on the loss. It also depends on, dare I say, our choice to stay there, or move through it and move on. Some loss really knocks us for a loop. And it's just going to take its sweet time. Grief never fully leaves us, but there are instances where we can actually get in there, do some inner work, and bring our thoughts, minds, and hearts to some resolve. In the advanced course I find that when I have really moved through my inner work, with lots of understanding and self-love, I can even come to a sixth stage, which is gratitude. This is the point where I have come to see the blessings that the loss has brought to me. Sometimes we learn how to better care for ourselves. Sometimes we move on to a relationship that is even more compatible. It's not so much what happens to us in life, it's what we do with what happens that matters. Another major block to gratitude is lack of forgiveness. Sometimes we're holding on so tight to something we think is terrible that we just can't move forward. Louise Hay helped me with this obstacle in my own life with her affirmation, "I forgive you for not being the way that I wanted you to be. I forgive you and I set you free, and thereby free myself." There is a lot of personal reflection in this thought. And it often helps us to see the deeper view. My spiritual teacher Jana Massey taught us that forgiveness is the law of erasure. It erases the hurt so the truth can be made known. When we forgive we release that tight grasp and over time, often we see further. There is one more set of forgiveness affirmations I'd like to share with you today. Sadly, I don't remember where I got them. But never mind, they go like this, "I forgive you for any pain that you may have caused me. I ask that you forgive me for any pain that I may have caused you. And I forgive myself for allowing you to cause me any pain." With these we see the situation from three unique perspectives. They also help us understand that pain is a two way street. With deeper introspection we can even move beyond the need for forgiveness because we come to see that everyone is always doing what feels right given their set of circumstances. Often in a worst case scenario, the perpetrator is so tortured themselves, so lost within, that they are looking for any way to have someone else know their experience. Those who are this unsettled truly need our compassion. We wouldn't punish a baby for pulling a cat's tail. We would understand that's the stage of growth the child is in. Similarly, someone who has done us wrong is experiencing their own version of the world. As hard to swallow as this may be, understanding is the key. So, grumble, grumble, grumble is a choice we sometimes make. And it's fully understandable. But how much nicer it is to turn our focus to what is beautiful in every given situation, to see how we are growing our souls and the souls of others. Appreciation always shifts the energy. We can take the time to look for it and say instead, "Wow! That was great."
