Healing Crisis-Take Charge of your Life!

Whenever I go into a healing crisis, my natural default mode is panic. Then, I mobilize all of my energy, and begin a rigorous self-help detox program, move the stressors out of my life (promising to be more vigilant to keep them away) and before I know it, I feel more in control. In my life, nothing makes me feel more out of balance then a health issue. Yet, every health crisis always opens new doors. I wish it could be another way like- new doors open without the health crisis. I tell myself that it is definitely in my astrological chart; natal Saturn in Leo on the 7th house cusp now retrograde for the rest of my life in the sixth house of health. Well, to me, a person who loves astrology knows that says it all. So when transiting Saturn in Scorpio squared my natal Saturn in Leo-voila health crisis-and like always, with it a promise of a new door opening. A new and very exciting door! The new door for me is a vigilant program of juicing two times a day, (all organic, kale, carrots, apple, celery, fresh ginger root and garlic) raw foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, prayer three times a day, meditation two times a day. Walking, swimming, and a week in Florida coming up at the Hippocrates Health Institute. I can’t wait. Here’s what I get to look forward to:
1-Lectures on health and healing and alternative modalities by leaders in the field (my field)

 2-Superior nutrition through a diet of organically grown, enzyme rich, raw, life-giving foods.

 3-Detoxification

 4-Colonics

 5-Far infrared saunas and steam room

 6-Ozone pools with dead-sea salts and Jacuzzi

 7-Massages

 8-Bio-energy treatments

 9-Counseling

 10-Stress evaluation

 So my question to myself is this; why do I wait to do these things? Why do I need a health crisis to wake me up? Anyway, that’s history. From now I pledge to do more of this every week and to go down to West Palm Beach Florida to Hippocrates at least one time a year!

Love, Healing, Light and many Blessings.

What happens on the other side after we die?

If you believe in reincarnation you might wonder what you do in-between incarnations-while waiting for your next assignment, so to speak, on the other-side. What happens on the other side after we die? We continue to study and learn in the Halls of Learning and libraries and schools. There are places to advance musical studies, art work, or healing work. There is everything on the other-side that there is on this side. If you helped people when you were in this incarnation, you will be drawn to helping people after you die. Life, after death, continues on. Of course we miss our loved ones and they miss us. Loss of a loved one cannot be minimized. During the time of loss, the grief process is real and very painful. But life continues on. Here’s a dream I had about my husband a few days after he died.

In the dream, he and I were walking together on a pier. I was by his side. He looked healthy like he did when we were away together on a trip. He was wearing his black jacket and red baseball cap. I said to him, “You are healthy and healed. You look great, amazing. We have to tell people, the doctors. What did it? What finally healed you?” I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. When he was sick, he had been treated both traditionally and holistically. I wondered what had finally cured him. The dream was real. My husband was his usually quiet grounded self. He said to me, “I am healed. I am here on the other side and I am healed.” I could not get over it! I said to him, “I am really with you and you are really healed. This is so real that there is no reason to even think this is a dream! Matter to fact,” I said to him in the dream, “I am going to try and wake-up.” In my mind I was absolutely certain that I would not wake-up. I was with my husband and we were walking together. To test this reality, I shook myself and woke-up.

Dreams are portals to inner worlds. When we sleep at night we take a journey. We meet spiritual beings of Light, our guides, and healers who have crossed over and who help us. We continue to grow and learn even at night in our dreams.

If you want to catch a dream, become intentional. Put a dream journal by your bed. Ask a question you want an answer to. Write down any information, images, or direction you have received in the dream. The inner portals through dreams are a wonderful way to help solve problems and make contact with people on the other side.

Love, Light, Healing and many Blessings,

Night Time Dreams Guide Your Life

Dreams have always guided my life. If you want information while you sleep, set your intention and pay attention to your dreams.

When we sleep, our spiritual or astral bodies move away from the sleeping body and explore other realms of consciousness. This is not a phenomenon that happens to a select few. This happens to everyone every night during sleep. During sleep, the mind and body rest and heal, and the spiritual or astral body explores and visits places and people from other dimensions in time. The spiritual body visits the Halls of Wisdom, Temples of Learning, Temples of Healing and the akashic records. Although most people are unaware of the learning and exploration that goes on in dreams, the spiritual information is brought back to the waking state and slowly digested and integrated into waking life. The result is that intuition is developed, and a deeper spiritual wisdom is accessed and accelerated.

In several dreams, the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light traveled with me in my dream body. “We are the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light and have been with you on earth many times through several incarnations. We have lived amongst earth people, intermingling with humans. You are a Starseed and carry a message of light and love.”

There were other dreams and messages. In a dream, a mountain of quartz crystals tumbled down and blanketed me with protection, healing, and light. I awoke with insight and began writing For Starseeds: Healing the Heart—Pleiadian Crystal Meditations.

At that time, night time learning was accelerated. Advanced spiritual beings of light taught me how to help sick people. Dreams intensified; an electrical charge, a laser beam of vibrating green healing light, rippled down my arm into a woman’s body, healing her heart. She and I were connected. She was healed. The radiating healing light and the intensity of information channeled from the Spiritual Guides and Masters, and the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light intensified in the dream. The room shook. In the dream, I was told, “You are a Starseed. Become a conscious channel for healing.”

When the healing was complete, the woman sat up, looked around the room, and got off the table. A Pleiadian Emissary of Light spoke and said that the primary mission of the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light on earth is to awaken Starseeds and move them toward the awareness of the Light within.

In another more recent dream, I was given information about a past life. In the dream, I was traveling at an accelerated rate. I looked to my right and heard a voice say, “You are passing the Edmond Monastery.” In waking reality, I never heard of the Edmond Monastery. In the morning, I discovered that the monastery does indeed exist. In past lives, I have lived a cloistered life and am drawn to that way of living in this life. Often, what we are drawn to in this life, points to where we have lived before. In this past life dream, I was visiting a place I had lived before.

At night, before bed, bring a dream journal by your bed. In the morning, write down anything and everything you remember-even the smallest bit of dream material gives lots of information to the dreamer. Before you go to sleep, set your intention and you will become the dreamer that will visit other places, meet with your spiritual guides, and enjoy the journey with your Dream Master-your Higher Self that has a 360 degree point of view.

Love, Light, Healing, and many blessings,

The Healing Journey

Even with the understanding that we are all spiritual beings of light reincarnated back to earth for a physical/spiritual experience, the earth-walk can be challenging physically, emotionally and spiritually and sometimes overwhelming. Loss and change brings anxiety and fear. These intense emotional responses throw us off center and make us lose our balance. Adrenaline flows especially when a person experiences a life threatening event; loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, divorce, or illness. During times of loss and during less critical times-being stuck in a traffic jam, or late for work-it makes it difficult to relax and turn it over to a Higher Power. Fear sets in bringing with it rushes of adrenaline that change the chemistry in the body increasing anxiety and fear. A stress cycle begins; fear, adrenaline, anxiety-not pleasant at all are experienced. Affirmations reminding to trust and let go competes with the survival mechanism the fight or flight response. This built in survival mechanism is designed to give us energy to deal with dangerous situations and ensure survival. The repeated ongoing release of adrenaline is not conducive for relaxation, nor is it healthy for the mind or the body. The body remains tense, spiritual contact is lost, and cortisol pours into the blood producing a sticky substance that flows into the arteries. During very stressful times when you don't feel you can do anything to relax, turn it over to a Higher Power of your choosing.

Letting go and letting ourselves be led by our Higher Power is not a passive approach to life. It makes good sense to let go and surrender especially during challenging times. When we surrender, we remember that we are spiritual beings of light reincarnated to earth to have a physical experience. To make the life-walk easier it is best to have a circle of people you trust and that you can reach out during times of crisis and stress.

The Twelve Step programs are an excellent choice and there are many. Most people have heard of AA, Alcoholics Anonymous, but there is also NA Narcotics Anonymous, and Al-Anon and Alateen. Codependents Anonymous addressing relationship issues, ACOA, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and Overeaters Anonymous, to name a few all based on the Twelve Step Program for healing. All of the Twelve Step groups are free and spiritually based reminding that the best way to guide your life is by creating a relationship with your personal Higher Power so that you have a guide who is always with you, always loving you, caring and keeping your best interests in Its Heart and Mind as you move along on your healing journey into the Light and Love of God.

Love, Light, Healing, and Many Blessings

Healing the Heart

Sometimes, when I forget my purpose here on earth, I ask myself, "What am I supposed to be doing,” as if what I am "doing" or "being" is not enough. Then it occurs to me, once again, for the hundredth time, the most important purpose on earth. The answer is that it is not to see another client, or give another lecture, or write another blog. All of that counts of course, but there is more to my purpose here on earth. I am here to heal my heart and pass on this important information to other people so that they can choose to do the same. It takes focus and will-power to work on healing oneself; not get side-tracked or buy into other people's ideas of what you should or should not be doing. It is also challenging dealing with the endless chatter of the mind telling you that there is more to do, to accomplish-maybe then you will feel satisfied. In fact, the endless chatter of the mind distracts from the real reason for being here on earth and that is healing the heart.

It is challenging to heal the heart because there are days when energy is low, tiredness seeps in; health is not what it should be; loneliness and loss of motivation takes center stage. Or perhaps someone we love, or even a stranger or co-worker at work is unhappy, gets moody, and rejects us. We just don’t know what happened! The mental chatter and obsessions begin. “Why did they do that?” Then our focus is off of ourselves and our healing. We place our energy into another person hoping to change their behavior which obviously we can do nothing about. Healing our hearts begins with bringing the focus, the attention, back to ourselves. It begins with taking care of ourselves. Building a daily self-care program and creating good self-care habits is the start. For busy people, it is easier said than done, but it is a must! If we don’t feel physically well, then it is hard to be the loving, compassionate person we want to be. And it is difficult to heal the emotional wounds of the heart.

Begin your day with a closed eye process. Meditation is important to balancing the right and left sides of the brain. It eases the endless chatter in the mind. Do this for ten, to fifteen, to twenty minutes a day. At the end of the meditation, place your hand on your heart. Breathe in and out and mentally send healing to your heart. Tap lightly on the center of your chest. Breathe love and light into your heart center, your heart chakra. Tell yourself that you are a good person just as you are! Do this until you feel good, relaxed, and believe this affirmation to be true.

Then move on to a brisk walk, a swim, or some form of exercise that you like to do.

Reach out to a friend, a family member. Pick up the phone. Waiting for others to call can be a waste of time. It is always hard to make the first move and reach out to others. Research shows us that having friends in our lives brings quality to our day and we may even live longer!

So dear friends, wishing you a happy day filled with love, light, healing and many blessings,

A Radical Acceptance of Ourselves

The inner child, the emotional part of ourselves shows itself dreams; it also makes its presence known when we feel demanding, out of balance, angry, resentful, hateful and revengeful-all of the emotions that threaten to overwhelm us in life. So how do we reconcile the  “heavy emotions” with the desire to be positive, share uplifting thoughts and sentiments? The answer lies in accepting ourselves which is not easy to do; nor should a quick acceptance become the way we psychologically operate because we think we should. Doing so can increase anxiety and fear. It is best to get to know our feelings and acknowledge what we are going through; feel the feelings, however rough the roller coaster ride may be, and then move towards a radical acceptance of ourselves-a human being with faults, challenging emotions and struggles with difficult people in our lives. In all of these scenarios, the idea of acceptance is something to aim for, and it is always best not to minimize or suppress feelings but embrace our shortcomings. Get to know ourselves. One of the best ways to get to know the psychological part of ourselves is through analyzing dreams.

Here’s a dream I had a few nights ago.

After sitting in the sun all day giving hand/ arm massages to fifteen people I was exhausted. I did not even know how tired I was or how much stress I had accumulated from massaging so many people over a three hour period of time. I went to bed feeling more stressed than I realized. Towards morning I had this dream.

A very rapid flood of water gushed up the hill behind my house and raced towards the back glass sliding doors of the home. The rapidly rising water (emotions) threatened to flood the entire house and wash it away. To underscore how emotional and tired I felt, a trash can was on fire. Life was out of control.

The value of analyzing the dream is this: Now I deeply understood how tired, stressed, and emotional I felt. Massaging fifteen people for three hours while sitting in the sun was an emotional overload. In the future, in order to protect myself, I would have to set boundaries and limit the amount of time I would administer these labor intensive services.

It took several days to get back in balance, but after a few nights of sound sleep and daily meditations where I received extra rest. Plus walks in the park and an excellent swim at the pool, I was back to normal. I learned a lot of lessons from this experience.

1-Setting boundaries is important even in the work environment where it is harder to say no.

 2-When tired and out of balance, stress increases and perception is distorted.

 3-Deep rest is one of the most important gifts we can give ourselves.

When we are rested and back in balance, it is easier to accept ourselves and authentically affirm our good qualities.

Love, Light, Healing and Many Blessings,

Starseed Gratitude Initiative

When I was a child, much to the chagrin of my step-father who was a newcomer to our home, I wrote the names of people I loved and wanted blessings for on the wall next to my bed. There was a method to this madness; the many names of the people I loved would be remembered in my prayers before I went to sleep. “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my Soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take. If I should live for other days, I pray the Lord to guide my ways.” Then I would say, God bless so and so. I would name the people on the list penciled on my wall next to my bed; adding other names, anyone I could think of. Standing over the bed with nothing to say, my step-father glared at the innocent seven year old staring lovingly at the names written on the wall.

When I was an adolescent, my step-father had plenty to say. He became a formidable presence; a gruff man too often unloving. However no one, not even he was ever able to squash my love for life, for God, and for all of the beauty and magic around me; for all of the blessings I have in my life. One of the greatest blessings I have is a need to remember to count my blessings and to be grateful for all that I have, every day.

Later in life, when I began teaching at the local college I shared the research of Dr. Emoto who wrote “The Hidden Messages of Water.” One of the bottom lines of his research is that the Universe responds positively to words and feelings of gratitude. Gratitude for ourselves and for others-even for the challenges that have the potential to bring us to new heights and wisdom. (This is difficult to see and believe when we are going through challenges). It is also very difficult to control the negative slide that our mind seems to want to go in during the day. Fatigue or hunger can bring our thoughts into a slide so much faster. For this reason, it is important to eat life-giving foods that enhance the cells in our mind and our body, and to get a good night’s rest. Think of bedtime as an actual activity. A time to prepare-wind down an hour ahead with a warm shower and lavender scents. No computers in bed! Then off to the dream world where we continue to learn. When we awaken refreshed it is so much easier to be grateful for all that we have.

On Monday, July 8th, 2103, is the Starseed Gratitude Initiative. Stop for a few moments every hour and count your blessings. Smile to others and be grateful. Compliment and tell people you love them. I always remind myself that no day is promised. Grab hold of today and be grateful for all of the things and people in your life, all that you have.

Love, Light, Healing, and Many blessings,
