A Drop of Consciousness
Posted by Hal on Saturday, June 27th, 2009 4:39 PM
The great sea set me in motion.
Set me adrift.
And I move as a weed in the river.
The arch of sky
And mightiness of storms
Encompasses me,
And I am left
Trembling with joy.
That’s an old Eskimo Song that describes ancient thoughts about physical life. I am a weed in a river set in motion by the great sea and connected to everything around me. My roots are nourished by the sea of consciousness. The Eskimo’s understood and were aware of that sea and lived in it everyday as they experienced there own manifestations.
Now is a time of great change. I measure change linearly and I focus on my choices and express my self in awareness. Each flood, tornado, hurricane and earthquake is the action of consciousness and I am aware of them to understand the power of my own creations. These mighty earth changes, express the changes that are occurring in my inner consciousness. How I perceive these events changes my beliefs about them and I learn something about my self. I find that I am surrounded by energy that has the ability to communicate with me in complex, as well as simple ways. It is up to me to listen and change in sync with the flow of my river of consciousness. I am a whole part of that action and I choose what role to play in the present moment by being centered in what appears to be uncertainty, but it is actually clusters of consciousness expressing expansion and action with different imagery.
Action is the manifestation of consciousness and the idea constructions of collective consciousness are experiencing physical manifestations of that action. All thoughts become solid matter so the combination of resistance and acceptance produces the mightiness of the storms that encompass me on an individual level, as well as a collective level. There is no separation of consciousness, but there is unawareness of the different energies that form aspects of my entity, as well as the collective entities that form a bubble of reality.
My energy adds depth to the great sea of consciousness. I set my self adrift in rivers that contain diverse realities and tides of energy that form clusters of consciousness in order to expand as a weed, which continues to blossom with the fruit of awareness. I am left to create and share life in a bubble in order to feel the energy that expresses itself within, around and outside of the bubble. The arch in the blue sky reminds me of my inner world which is filled with the vibration of color and the tone of expansion. The Eskimos and I tremble with joy as we touch the sea with one drop of consciousness and continue to float in eternal rivers, which have different channels that bend and flow with the tide of change. I am one weed drifting through clouds of consciousness in order to add more drops in the sea of eternal consciousness.

Healthy Natual Living.
Posted by Jami on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 7:08 PM
As a Pilates Instructor I train bodies to be healthy inside and out. I believe this mind body workout is only party of the equation to living a healthy life. I have expanded my fitness business to partner with a wellness company. As a mom, I strive to provide my daughter with a life free from chemicals. I have found a company that helps me with just that. In addition, I am able to shop from home. This excites me because I don't have to add to the pollutants in the air PLUS less gas I need to purchase with running around to stores getting my household items. This concept has impacted my household budget because the products cost less than the grocery stores. And I get to keep more of my hard earned dollars instead of giving to the oil companies.
I would love to share ideas with anyone interested in living a healthier life style.

30 Day Manifest
Posted by Emma on Monday, June 22nd, 2009 3:35 PM
Susan & I are doing a 30 day manifest.
Basically it works by writing down any thing that you'd like to manifest that day & then allowing the universe to provide for you! This is about learning to become a fantastic manifester, really applying the Law of Attraction seeing it work for you!
We'd be delighted if you'd all join us in the exercise. So, get a nice shiny note book (for your stationary addicts out there this should be music to your ears) and get writing a list. Here is an example of my day 3 manifest list:
1. £4000
2. Perfect cup of coffee
3. Easy time with the girls (they have been little XYZ's at the moment :o))
4. Good networking contacts.
5. House tidier.
6. To get away in August.
See the things that you want to attract.
Sit down and spend a few minutes doing absolutely nothing but thinking about having what you want and how wonderful that feels. Before you start, however, you need to be happy. If you think about what you want with negative emotion, you will push it away. So feeling really happy at least once a day helps create the right energy to manifest successfully!
But once you have seen yourself with the things you want to manifest, almost let them go! The less you dwell on them the less likely you will try to second guess how the universe will provide them for you.
Did I get these things? I hear you ask!
Well, yes but not in the way you or I would've guessed!
1. The £4000, this is an example of where it helps to be specific. I meant £4000 cash but didn't ask for that so I got an advertising campaign that is worth £4000!
2. The coffee shop I frequent is on the way to my daughter's school, as I was passing the owner popped out & asked if I'd like a free latte as they had made a mistake with an order, since I am a regular customer he thought he'd ask! And it was perfect!
3. The girls were a delight later that day, due to them finding that building tents with bed sheets & stacks of books, is the best thing ever!
4. I made 23 new Facebook & LinkedIn contacts, already they are proving to be amazing resources and some are even clients now! Thank you guys X
5. After playing quietly the girls tidied the bedrooms & even folded their clothes (still in shock)
6. And was offered the use of 2 places in August that would mean I could easily get away.
You see it works in mysterious ways!!
Of course, there have been days where I'm not manifesting. But I will be interested if these thing materialise by the time the 30 days is up.
OK now I appreciate that I am making it sound so easy...well it is! But we all have blocks and doubts & hell, it's tough when you have bills knocking on your door!
And this is where Susan & I have a sneaky advantage by using
Theta Healing we can shift blocks and get ourselves over the manifesting hurdles.
So, what we'd like to offer you here is a mini session with one of us to help you kick start your manifesting. Distance is no problem, as the magic of the Internet saves the day again! And we can easily arrange a time to suit anyone in a different time zone. You can choose to work on your general issues surrounding abundance and manifesting or you can choose to manifest a particular thing :o) (Incidentally, you can skip the mini session & have a full session (90mins) to really tackle the deeper issues that might be holding you back.)
This 15 min session is totally free & will hopefully give you a taste of Theta & of how fantastic manifesting is!
We'd love to hear from you, regardless of whether you want a session or not. Tell us about your successes!!! And discuss any difficulties you may experience,we are always happy to offer advice and love pondering the whys & wherefores :o)
Much love & look forward to chatting soon XXX
Beauty is a Root
Posted by Hal on Saturday, June 20th, 2009 6:40 PM
Beauty is constituted by the free harmonious play of imagination and understanding.
Immanuel Kant, born in 1724 was a German philosopher. He is regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the 18th century and his thoughts are still studied around the world. His work is a rock in the foundation of metaphysics and epistemology. He spent his life questioning the nature of reality.
Philosophers have discussed beauty for centuries. Kant said that when we think something is beautiful, we want to share it in some way, or at least get confirmation that we are right in thinking that object or person can be labeled beautiful. Other great thinkers say that beauty is a reflection of our inner consciousness, which is expressing itself in physical form. Beauty is obviously diverse as well as complex in nature, it represents part of our belief structure and how we perceive the world around us. Rumi, the 13th century poet and philosopher said: We are surrounded by beauty, but we usually have to be walking in a garden to appreciate it. Whatever the definition used to explain beauty, it’s safe to say that beauty changes as my beliefs about it change.
Natural beauty is something within me, but the rigors of daily life cover that beauty with fear and anger, so I separate my self from that innate quality. I then try to construct beauty in some other form using art, music, personal style or body consciousness and then label it beauty based on my perceptions. I spend a lifetime searching for the beautiful aspects of physical life and when I think I know what they are, I built a self that represents that beauty and share it with the world in my own way.
Physical attractiveness and an individualistic personality define beauty in physical form, so I go to extremes to build an image that fits my beliefs about the external nature of beauty and expect my peers to compliment my dedication to that goal. I reach that goal at different times and use extraordinary means to maintain it and keep it as I travel through time. I discover that beauty is a thought that I create and then manifest using my imagination and creativity. Beauty is and will always be a subjective aspect of consciousness, which is expressed objectively. Life is for the experience and if I can define and do define beauty by my thoughts about it, beauty can be whatever I want it to be. That’s the beauty of being aware of the beauty of my inner consciousness. It’s in a constant state of change and beauty is a tool I use to express those changes. Beauty is a root of consciousness and when I allow it to grow freely I physically experience it in its natural state.

The BIGGEST Downshifting Question: What can I let go of?
Posted by Sally on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 12:00 PM
When I first take on a coaching client, one of the questions I ask them is “What do you want to lose?” This might be material possessions, as in having a major de-cluttering and recycling session. A little less obvious, but often just as important, what they might have on their list of things that no longer serve them is:
- a relationship
- a belief that they have about themselves
- an unhelpful habit
- a job they no longer enjoy
- a commitment
- a concern
And there can be many others that surface with some further deep reflection.
In some ways this might sound like a miserable exercise as it can lead us to dwell on all those things that we don’t like about our lives. Turn that around and the positive face of letting go is what we’re left with as a result of clearing out the debris – some clear space! This might take the form of “spare time”, something many people only ever glimpse once in a blue moon! Or, it might be some cash, or feelings of renewed energy and joie de livre or tranquillity.
So, to motivate ourselves to let go, it can help to visualise first, to really feel, conjur up, imagine, what the positive, empowering results of our letting go will be. This is the inspiration we can use to fuel our efforts.
The other positive result of this exercise is that it often results in us being far better in touch with what matters most to us in life, aside from earning a living. This is a great point from which to begin to modify how we’re living our lives. Those priorities and values that we unearth become the guiding forces that keep us on track on our journey to a more sustainable way of life.

The Journey - Physical & Emotional healing from a cellular level . . .
Posted by Joanne Wait on Sunday, June 14th, 2009 7:16 AM
I am an accredited Journey Practitioner. What that means is that I have the tools and knowledge to help others get access too, and release, suppressed memories. Based on the phylosophies of such work as Deepak Chopra.
The healing power of forgiveness is amazing and not to be under-estimated !
I personally know people who have healed themselves from such things as tumors, cancers, depression, anger issues, sciattica, constant migranes, tinitus, poor vision and sports injuries.
My deepest prayer is to spread the word of the wonderful healing abilities of the Journey work and for my business to be abundantly successful in more ways than I could ever imagine.
Namaste,
Joanne
A Dynamic Spiral
Posted by Hal on Sunday, June 14th, 2009 12:05 AM
Briefly, what I am proposing is that the psychology of the mature human being is an unfolding, emergent, oscillating spiraling process marked by progressive subordination of older, lower order behavior systems to newer, higher order systems as an individual’s existential problems change. Each successive stage, wave, or level of existence is a stage through which people pass on their way to other states of being.
When the human is centralized in one state of existence, he or she has a psychology which is particular to that state. His or her feelings, motivations, ethics, and values, biochemistry, degree of neurological activation, learning system, belief system, conception of mental health, ideas as to what mental illness is and how it should be treated, conceptions of and preferences for management, education, economics and political theory and practice are all appropriate to that state.
Clare Graves was born in 1914. He was a professor of psychology and originator of a Level Theory of Human Development. His work was the foundation for Spiral Dynamics, which has got a lot of attention recently. It seems that my nature as a human is an emerging open ended system of awareness.
Gravessaw this process of stable plateaus interspersed with change intervals as never ending; I progress through this spiral with my consciousness which has no limits.
Graves’s ideas about this way of knowing are being studied and used throughout the field of psychology. His work has opened the door for Ken Wilbur and others to establish a Theory of Everything, which is an integral vision for Business, Science, Politics and Spirituality.
What
Gravesis saying is that there are different levels of consciousness that are interacting in human form at the same time. I have a tendency to use race and religion and politics to judge the thoughts of individuals, but it is actually the level of awareness of self that distinguishes me from those around me. Each level of awareness has been or will be experienced by me, so I am really experiencing different aspects of my self and using them as tools for expansion. It’s not my physical birth place or time or the color of my skin that creates diversity, it is my consciousness evolving in a never ending stage of growth.
When I apply
Graves’s theory to the present conditions that exist around the world, I clearly understand why peace is such an elusive state of being. There are so many levels of consciousness interacting with each other; the first stages or levels are interacting with higher stages and they are unaware of why, so the body consciousness fears the unknown and I resist instead of accepting. Change although it is a constant in human development is a threat to the body consciousness and the illusions created by it. Thoughts of separation guide my actions, and I do what I have always done, destroy instead of understand in order to become aware. The face of the world is filled with the blemishes of an ignorant and self-defeating separated body consciousness, but it is the method I choose to expand, it is not a death sentence it’s consciousness creating awareness.
Consciousness continues to expand and my body consciousness does blend with my inner self at some linear point. My awareness of other levels of consciousness become apparent and I begin to experience them. When one self moves through time and accepts rather than rejects other levels of awareness I integrate with my entity. I am a dynamic spiral as
Gravesexplains and I never out of sync regardless of my position within the spiral. There is no beginning or end, there is only the awareness that I exist in every aspect of it.

Beliefs, Programs & Downloads
Posted by Emma on Friday, June 12th, 2009 8:38 PM
Beliefs
We have beliefs on just about every situation, event and purpose in our lives. Our beliefs are what we think make us who we are. Some of these beliefs we have formulated ourselves, some have been handed down to us from our parents and through the ancestral lines, some beliefs are historical - both our own past experience and also the beliefs of mankind and society.
Pretty powerful stuff and usually these beliefs are held at unconscious levels so that it can be hard for us to identify them and change the ones which aren’t serving us. Sometimes we resist letting go of these beliefs because we believe they are ‘reality’. Sometimes we hold on to them because we don’t know how to live without them.
The processes of Theta Healing allow these beliefs to be rapidly identified and then to be changed on all levels so we are then able to move forward in our lives. It is a very liberating experience - it feels as if a weight has been lifted and we are one step closer to being who we truly desire to be.
Programs
Programs are a cluster of beliefs. For example a core belief may be - ‘I don’t deserve to be rich.’ This belief may be part of a program of - ‘I am not worthy.’ The program is all the beliefs connected with worthiness.
Just as with beliefs, these programs can be examined and then lifted with ease and grace with Theta and again, the feeling of being set free is wonderful.
Downloads
Downloads are one of the most powerful aspects of Theta Healing. Downloads are energy frequencies and by using these we can be taught what it feels like to be loved, cherished, respected. Downloads can teach us how to live without negative feelings which we have created through beliefs, programs and patterns of behaviour. For example we can learn - ‘I know how to live without pain.’
Some of us have forgotten how to experience these feelings, sometimes we have never experienced them. To be taught through the Creative Force what it feels like to feel rich or to be loved or to live our lives in joy is the reason we can then manifest what we truly want in our lives. By experiencing and radiating these feelings, we attract all the wealth, health and happiness we want.
What is Theta Healing?
Posted by Emma on Friday, June 12th, 2009 8:36 PM
In its essence Theta Healing is about removing fear and reconnecting us with our own pristine energy system, free from other influences.
It is powerful healing on all levels - body, mind and spirit.
Theta state is a brain wave frequency of deep relaxation. Theta brain waves govern our attitudes, beliefs and our behaviours. They hold memories and sensations. As the practitioner my function is to hold the Theta space to allow the client to connect with the layers between their conscious and unconscious minds. It is here that deep healing can take place, where unhelpful beliefs can be lifted, where ancestral programming can be cleared, where DNA can be fully activated and where unhealthy emotional links can be gently released.
Why is this work so life changing? By changing our beliefs and clearing our energy and spirit of accumulated 'debris' we then become free to live our lives to the full and joyfully explore our true purpose.
Theta Healing is powerful and life enhancing in an incredible way and like most profound processes it is essential to experience it - words don't even begin to convey its wonder.
Vianna Stibal developed Theta Healing in the USA some 10 - 15 years ago and her mission has been to make this technique available to thousands of people worldwide, through her own healings, her training of practitioners and teachers.
www.thetahealing.com
Here is what she has to say :
About ThetaHealing™
ThetaHealing™ is a technique that teaches how to put to use our natural intuition, relying upon unconditional love of Creator Of All That Is to do the actual “work”. We believe by changing your brain wave cycle to include the “Theta” state, you can actually watch the Creator Of All That Is create instantaneous physical and emotional healing.
Upon learning the technique of ThetaHealing™, you will see that everyone has intuitive abilities that can be used to bring about spontaneous physical and emotional healing. Using this personal process, you will help yourself, as well as your friends and family.
ThetaHealing™ is designed by Vianna as a therapeutic self-help guide to develop the ability to change on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually using the Creator of all That Is. ThetaHealing™ is best known for the Belief and Feeling Work on all four levels; Core, Gene, History, and Soul. With growing scientific evidence that toxic emotion can contribute to disease and the awareness that emotions, feelings and the power of thought have a direct bearing upon our physical health, there is increasing interest in changing how the mind influences the body to create optimum health. Belief and Feeling Work empower people with the ability to remove and replace negative emotions, feelings and thoughts with positive, beneficial ones. ThetaHealing™ can be most easily described as an attainable miracle for your life.
ThetaHealing™ is also best known for the 7 Planes of Existence; a concept to connect to the Highest Level of Love and Energy of All That Is. Using this concept, the practitioner can achieve the highest clarity and wisdom love.
In 1995 Vianna Stibal a Naturopath, Massage Therapist, and Intuitive Reader at the time, discovered that the way she did Readings could do an instant healing. Vianna, a mother of three young children was diagnosed with cancer that was quickly destroying her right femur. Everything she had tried using conventional and alternative medicine had failed. Then she discovered that the simple technique she used in Readings could heal. Her leg was instantaneously healed. She added this knowledge to her sessions with clients and in the classes she was teaching. Curious to understand why the technique was working, Vianna solicited the help of a physicist and with an electrocephalograph discovered that the simple technique tapped Theta waves. Over many years of practicing the technique, Vianna believes the technique utilizes a Theta wave to achieve an instant healing. Through thousands of clients she discovered not only an amazing way to connect with the creative energy that moves in all things, but that this energy could change instantly Beliefs and Feelings that are linked to sickness.
The most profound discovery about ThetaHealing is that this technique could be taught to others. Vianna, the founder of ThetaHealing™, has taught this technique to thousands of people. She has trained others to teach some of her classes of ThetaHealing™. This technique is one of the most amazing experiences of her life.
ThetaHealing is best described as An attainable miracle for your life
If there is only one energy-technique that you learn this one.. It will change your life forever. The technique is so simple it is perfect. It does not demand anything from you, or that you give up any other teachings. ThetaHealing™ transcends dogma and goes beyond all religions yet is accepting of them all. Just as Christ said, “All these things you can do and more,” in ThetaHealing™ you will learn that nothing is impossible if you dare to believe.
-Nini Guerard, Acupuncturist, Former Staff of Kaiser Permanente If you are lonely, tired, sick or feel a need to help others,
If you have a desire to improve our planet or a desire for answers
If you want to claim your birthright of being part of All That Is,
If connecting to the divine spirit that intertwines and binds everything in existence appeals to you,
If you'd like realization and results, perhaps ThetaHealing™ is for you. ThetaHealing™ is not a religion; it is a technique to change your beliefs according to the dictates of your own conscience.
Where are the spiritual writers?
Posted by Philip Bradbury on Friday, June 12th, 2009 12:34 PM
I´m constantly told that there are always thousands of writers out there who are clamouring for their work to be published. However, when I put out the call for New Age/Spiritual writers to be published on our new website (and they might even get paid) a whole ... 0 ... replied!!
Come on, are you too shy, do I have bad body odour or is there some other reason none of you want to be published ... and maybe even paid.
I know you don´t have much information to go on, here, but if you want to let me know you exist, and start a conversation now, don´t hesitate - I won´t bite your head off!!

Every Turn of the Wheel
Posted by Hal on Saturday, June 6th, 2009 8:12 PM
You come and go. The doors swing closed
Ever more gently almost without a shudder.
Of all who move through the quiet houses,
You are the quietest.
We become so accustomed to you,
We no longer look up
When your shadow falls over the book we are reading
And makes it glow. For all things
Sing you: at times
We just hear them more clearly.
Often when I imagine you
Your wholeness cascades into many shapes.
You run like a herd of luminous deer
And I am dark, I am forest.
You are a wheel, at which I stand,
Whose dark spokes sometimes catch me up,
Revolve me nearer to the center.
Then all the work I put my hand to
Widens from turn to turn.
Rainer Maria Rilke one of the great poets of the 20th century certainly displays a quality in all of his work that asks me to follow something within me. It is that deep inner knowing place where all questions are dressed in answers. It is the place where everything exists and nothing is wasted. It is the
Meccaof truth and the garden of unity. It moves as I move and at times the door swings closed and I try to pry it open and do, but find it has changed in awareness. I no longer look up, I look within.
As I experience this entrance and exit within my self I try to find the latch that will keep this beautiful place of knowledge open, but I find that my body consciousness keeps me in another state of reality. I see the shadows, created by my thoughts and watch as they become material objects which are my own manifestations. Quietly I watch a herd of luminous realities run through the inner forest of my consciousness.
I have re-programmed my self to ignore my inner self and exist in a body that is born from that consciousness. My education taught me to be sane, but I act insane by performing the same acts over and over again and then I expect different results. I am caught in the spokes of a self who only senses the separation that I create by turning the wheel of not feeling good enough to love my inner self. My body consciousness creates an illusion that keeps the door of knowing half open, but every now and then I see between the cracks and I begin to expand.
This chosen duality issue turns me closer to my center. My body consciousness is doing what my inner consciousness has already experienced. The rigors of physical life turn me towards my center and my awareness increases with every turn. I say I am human and know that I am more, but I don’t hear my other selves clearly and I become a separated thought in a puddle of my own rain. The thought, the puddle and the rain are all one; my beliefs about my multiplicity keep me from turning in a circular motion, I do it linearly using just one aspect of my self which is a choice.
Rumi understood his multiplicity in the 13th century, which confirms that awareness is not only linear and restricted by my selectivity; it is expression of my inner consciousness. My formlessness is expressed through my physical form and I choice to accept it or resist it by my restricting beliefs about my own complexity of being. Wholeness cascades into many shapes.
As Rumi points out:
You Embrace some Form
Saying “I am this.”
By God, you are not this
Or that or the other
You are “Unique One”
Heart-ravishing”
You are throne and palace and king
You are bird and snare and fowler
Like water in a jar and river
Are in essence the same
You and spirit are the same
Your every idol
Prostrates
Before you
Your every thought-form
Perishes
In your formlessness
So there it is, in 13th thought. The door to the place where everything exists is always open; I partially close it by my beliefs and perceptions. When I believe I am the door and what’s on the other side, I expand in awareness and I sense the expressions of other forms of my own consciousness. Every turn of the wheel is another self changing and expanding in unrestricted awareness. I perish in my own formlessness and know I am multiplicity in a chosen form that comes and goes through the quiet house of All There Is.

It’s been a long road getting to there from here?
Posted by John on Thursday, June 4th, 2009 8:20 PM
I am excited to see the developing discussion on Spirituality in today’s career management scenario and the interest that is being shown by other professionals in the field. The experiences within my own development have indicated to me that religion is but the stormy doorway to truth guarded by the various priests of the western religions as they try to prevent seekers from passing over the apparent threshold to possible Samadhi, awakening, liberation, self realisation, embodiment and eventual enlightenment.
The western priests are, in the great majority of cases unaware of the cultural heritage and the richness of the spiritual paths inherent within the eastern philosophies, shamanic cultures and even the western approaches to meditation inherent within the Julian Groups movement or the intense spiritual unfolding that can be triggered by the Taize meditative chanting.
For about 10 years from age 35 I spent my time as a voluntary retreat leader with the Anglican Church. Utilising the MBTI and the Enneagram in the shared discovery of prayer styles, pathways to personal growth, PCC team building. This was brought about by two significant events, within the space of 3 months,
1) The birth of our first and only child, and
2) My death and subsequent recovery from an operation for neural cancer that went very wrong. I am officially known as a “flat liner” in that I was given up for dead and then came back.
In Geoffrey Ashe’s book “The Finger and the Moon” there is a quote, perhaps from Zen, which is as follows, “There is a wrongness that leads to rightness that is better than rightness itself”.
Those two incidents changed my world forever and my personality type from ENTJ to ENFP over night. Rebirth, reset, renewal?
It’s been a long road getting to there from here, which has included a whole range of significant events, aha moments, actions I applaud, those I wish I could undo, opportunities taken and those ignored or passed by on the path.
A significant moment for me, at age 45, was on a retreat that I was co focalising with a mature Anglican priest, who I deeply respected and was dying of prostate cancer. It was one of those leaning on a five bar gate on a beautiful summer evening occurrences. “Tell me Father John”, I asked, “How did Christ do what he did?” He did not answer immediately, he did not answer for a good few minutes and his answer, from the helpless tone of his voice, for me said it all. “I don’t know John, I have never known. I wish I knew and all I can offer to you is faith”.
I thanked him, and wished him well for at that moment I left the Church, left organised religion, moved onto the quest to find the answer to that simple question.
I could write a book on my journey that has included the search for self discovery that has encompassed, Silva Mind Control, TM, Ascension techniques, scuba diving at night in the full moon over coral reefs, meditations at dawn on Greek Islands with other spiritual seekers, darshan with Amma, NLP, Timeline Therapy, Hypnotherapy and Coaching, plus healing modalities including Holosync, Reiki and VortexHealing®.
However most significant yet on the spiritual path has been the awakening and at 17.15 on 22nd June 2006 at the Columbia Hotel in London among my awakened friends, amidst much laughter of liberation “I”, got the cosmic joke and woke up.
For more information see http://www.theopensecret.com/ or http://www.adyashanti.org/
The paradox is that there is no person that becomes enlightened. No-one awakens. Awakening is the absence of the illusion of individuality. Already there is only awakeness, oneness, timeless being, and radical aliveness. When the dream seeker ~ who was “I” ~ is no more it is seen (by no-one) that there is nothing to seek and no-one to become liberated.
There is no attachment to the drama of others and the hooks have gone or are going, so when realised dissolve back into the Divine.
This is a permanent state, rather than an early temporary Samadhi which occurred 12 years ago during an intensive 10 day NLP traing called "Tranceformation" when for the first time “I” entered a state when “I” was not thinking, yet thought was arising for no one.
It is useful on this journey to have others, friends and spiritual folks who are awake and are able to test and add confirmation. Though deepening, settling and coming to terms with it all, even 3 years after the event, are still occurring.
Recommend “Sudden Awakening” by Eli Jaxon-Bear, or “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle, or The End of Your World by Adyashanti.
As the Zen saying goes, “Before enlightenment; chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment; chop wood, carry water.”
All is the same and yet all is different! Because now there is no one experiencing all that is.

Tarotscope Happenings, Tarotscope June 2009
Posted by Suzi on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 1:04 AM
Tarotscope Happenings, Tarotscope June 2009 - You can read your Tarotscope using your sun birth sign - and you can also read your rising sign to add depth to your message. If you don't know your rising sign, when you order a phone or email reading, I can create your chart and let you know it. I hope that you enjoy my Tarotscope, your feedback is welcome.
My style of interpreting messages isn't a fairy-tale reading to provide instant happiness with magical unicorns and miraculous rainbows of 'happily ever-after' endings. While that would be awfully nice, it wouldn't be fair, because life isn't fair. I blend intuition with logic, for realistic solutions - by combining the good, the bad, AND the ugly.
* * * * * * * * *
ARIES (March 21-April 19)The Star Reversed: What you see, is what you get with charming Aries. But it could be difficult to fathom when someone who you considered a friend, lets you down. It's nothing intention, nor hurtful, but it hurts your feelings. I could explain it, and ask you to talk with this individual about it, but you might get a little gruff (to hide your feelings) and mutter "what's the point". Despite the fact that you can be quite self-absorbed, you do take your friendships seriously. Trust goes hand in hand with those you meet. If you really can't open up to this person right now, you may simply need to spend more time with yourself. many times you can take things more personally, because your ego is as big as your heart. You could end up withdrawing from your usual crowd of friends this month to heal a bruised self-esteem. More than likely, and maybe even subconsciously... you may make this 'thing' much bigger than it needs to be, to get a reaction. You have a personal need to know you are priority and number one, and if you haven't been getting the right attention - Aries may try to manipulate the situation with a plan B, which is a worn-out and long process. You are willing to do anything to get back your self-respect. Step back from the situation, put yourself into their shoes, and imagine they have a life outside of you. Facing the truth, makes life much less complicated, and easier to enjoy and have fun! Don't let your imagination get the best of you this month!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The Hermit Reversed: Looking for love in the all the wrong places, looking for business in all the wrong places, la, la, la, laaaa... There is a scattered energy that consumes you, as life might be existing in the middle of the ocean, and no gust of wind is available to blow you into a direction. You're just there, waiting to see what is going to happen, like the sensible path of the headstrong Taurus. This month you begin to doubt your own knowledge - and become frazzled or fearful that you lost your knack for good choices. You could end up feeling as if you need to imitate another company's advertising to keep up with the competition, or you may feel as if you need to morph into the behavior of your partner's last love relationship to keep them interested. You get in touch with your darker side, possibly to manipulate and trick another - just to get your way. Some say that's just business, I usually just call it cheating, especially if I don't know what rules we're playing by. There is a lesson in which you are faced with this month, and it is about listening to your own inner voice and moral path. Paranoia or desperation could have the Taurus the Bull prepared to bulldoze anyone who trespasses across your turf. Use what has always worked for you, and your inner light has always been best for you. If you are nervous about stagnation or if any moves should be taken, I would probably suggest that you do, what you do best - and sit back, put your feet up, and mentally plan your next move. The answer that you search for will come to you when you release it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Four of Wands: The scatter-brained Gemini are usually off in several directions like a butterfly in heat, you will be settling some of that hectic energy to splurge on yourself, and get involved in a creative endeavor! Working on your visions for your home and/or office are highlighted, and you even manage to have enough time left over to spend quality time with family and friends! (You know... there are some special people in your life who would really like to see a little more of you!) Finding time for yourself this month, allows you to replenish all that you have been delivering elsewhere. New inspiration and excitement is yours, as you reflect and catch some of your own special light for yourself! For some of you Twins who thrive on freedom, you could begin to feel like a trapped butterfly struggling to get out of a jar. While movement is necessary for your particular sign - the timing is right to settle for a few weeks, to lay down your anxious wings for some overdue rest. Use your own talent and skills for your own set of dreams! Yard work, gardening, weeding can give those wings the right amount of motivation to plan out the rest of the year! Celebrate the end of the month with a party, inviting loved ones and neighbors to see the new vibrant you!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Knight of Cups: This month you are at a sweet peace with yourself. You have made many choices to get where you are today, and you're finally becoming comfortable to open up to a level that is allowing additional growth and opportunities to come your way. Typically, you walk through life with your guard up, and only allow so much of your personality to be unmasked... but a serene calm now sweeps over you dear Cancer, which blankets your vulnerable sensitivities this month. Trusting in choices that you have made, creates a bonding trust between you and the Universe. Your natural gifts of kindness and unconditional love are exposed, and others are drawn to a beautiful side of who you are, with a quick glance to see who you really are - deep down under! A new individual enters your life and touches your soul, and you are both aware of a special magnetism. This particular spark of friendship will help you to look forward into your own future, and welcome the coming of untouched waters. This journey flows nicely for you on a personal level, helping you to make serious decisions about what hasn't worked for you for several months - and allowing it drift off into the sea. Gentle thoughtfulness and a warm heart takes you by the hand.
LEO (July 23-August 22) King of Swords Reversed: There seems to be a struggle that you are dealing with this month with what others say to you, because their actions are telling you a whole different story. A vision or two has been created in your mind, and it is time for Leo to confront your dreams, and to decipher what is realistically approachable, and what is purely fantasy. You put one hundred percent of your generous heart into projects and those you love. It is important to take control and use your leadership skills to collect the information that you are seeking now, to direct your path for the coming weeks. Until you are able to take action to get to the facts and get to the bottom of things - you shall continue with confusion. You can be rather strong-headed, and known for not being open-minded to suggestions from others. Talk about your fears with someone that you trust, or write about the thoughts that you are having. This can only benefit your tomorrow as you put organization into your life, while separating emotions from the truth. Shake that beautiful head of hair, and open your mind. Don't be afraid of listening to other's advice and point of views. Sometimes by getting out of our own way - we can see life from a whole new perspective. Once you have all the information, you create solutions and get things working again! Everything runs smoothly, as well as your ability to shine and lead! Say what's on your mind!
VIRGO (August 23-September 22) Five of Pentacles Reversed: Using your intelligence, while pulling back from the busyness of life, you start taking inventory of your achievements and your failures in the past months. You're aware that successes have not been plentiful, despite your goals. Your home, your personal securities are also not where you would like them to be. You are desiring a sense of belonging now, to be the envy of others - and you are beginning to realize that you aren't. You are entering an honest awareness this month- as you feel a major distance between you and all the people that have cared for. Business may be stagnant, paperwork piling up, as friends and family become unavailable. Taking stock in your world will be helpful to find the TRUE Virgo and get you back in sync. You are terrific when you are putting order into havoc, and this is your time to do just that! Organize your list of priorities and work your way through it - to get your life, your relationships, and your business back on track. There is plenty of activity this month that may lead you into a different direction to rely on procrastination. Take advantage of this fantastic energy instead, to mold need into your direction. Let travel and a busy schedule be a guide to motivate you, as you do better when you are pushed with deadlines. Make the necessary phone calls and travel arrangements to benefit your financial interests, as well as your personal relationships. The harder you work - the stronger your drive! It's time to get back to basics.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22) Eight of Cups: Two peas in a pod is the way you like it, when you aren't spending time with a special loved one. You will find it necessary to take care of other areas in your life, other than on your personal affairs and relationships. This month, Libra will be putting the connection with others on old, to let the Universe have a say as to what is suppose to happen next. Self-indulging treats may be less fascinating and enjoyable now - especially when you don't have that cool buddy to enjoy it with. This will create some disturbance within the Libra psyche, because you like to enjoy the fruits of life - together. In the meantime, you are getting back in touch with your own soul, finding enjoyment within your own company. Expanding upon your creativity and education is focused on, as well as being introduced to a whole new crowd of people - to find your own unique personality again - rather than mimicking an old friend's behavior. Becoming a part of a new social group or activity can provide a new challenge that you tend to thrive on, to get you out of old boring patterns. This month is ideal to re-invent yourself, to stretch beyond your limits, and to remove yourself from bad habits. You are sailing forward, with no time to look backwards. It's all about you this month, so go out and experience yourself! Get some fresh air.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 21) Six of Wands: Accomplishment is your middle name this month. You've been heavily focused on your projects for the past weeks, and now you're sliding into home base! You've done what you needed to for recognition, and the time has finally come! You have come out of your shell, to prove that you are in fact, an AWESOME team player - and that kind of attitude brings generous rewards in your goals. A promotion, a raise, or a thumb's-up on a new adventure is highlighted. Whatever it is, you will feeling like a million bucks, and enjoying the attention that you normally would cringe from. This is about all your hard work paying off, your sweat, and your dedication to prove your loyalty. Your leadership skills are at an incredible high this month Scorpio, and you should be prepare to use this new confidence to connect (or reconnect) with another who meets your match! You will like what this person does for you, and the challenges that they provide to bring out your best (and possibly some old skeletons), but that's a whole other topic! There is an interesting connection that can take your existence into a new realm, if you can tame that obsessive desire to always be in total control of everything! For the next few weeks, you can simply sit back, enjoy the ride, and digest some good times! Dependability pays off!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) Four of Pentacles: There is still a world of people who want to get to know you Sagittarius, and this month will bring some new groupies. You aren't quite ready to give up that small space of serenity that you have created to just anyone though. You've gone through a makeover of who you use to be, and you will busy giving your hooves a few last minute touches before prancing off into the wide and wild yonder again! You could be having personal issues of feeling alone and not being the center of attention (as you are commonly known for) but the Gods and Goddesses have you in their protection right now, as you heal behind closed doors. You must be sure to communicate with loved ones about your desire to be left alone, as your lack of explanation can be misinterpreted, creating misunderstandings. It's important to know that you are not alone Sag, and that there are people waiting for you outside - when you are finally ready to come out and play! You meet a new person who is patient with you, and respects your need for space - because they also need it. It's much more quieter than usual for you this month, but it should be used toward personal development, meditation, and enhancing your handful of skills! Take an extra class, study a course, and make friends with new book! Go outside and enjoy nature, and if you listen.. I mean REALLY listen... you have more than enough friendship that exists all around you! Make friends with silence.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) Eight of Swords Reversed: Center yourself this month, and use quality time to get your personal power and strength back where it is suppose to be. You will feel someone (or something), tugging at your heart strings, forcing you to make a prominent decision about where you are in your life. You've been very unsettled with several areas in your surroundings, and you've also had plenty of time to take notice, to do something about it. Taking additional time to analyze your future path, rather than rolling with the waves, will only put you deeper into yourself. Stagnation, mold, and ignorance continues to grow over you if you choose to think longer. You are definitely feeling a change around you, which is insisting on change within you. The Universe will lend a hand toward this gesture of evolving, basically grabbing your attention, to get you 'out of yourself'! There is a part of reality that you prefer to avoid, but it is time to wake up and smell the coffee Capricorn. What you have been putting off, will start to vibrate its weaknesses to you. It will become annoying and bothersome. You can either 'get out of bed to take of the matter', or 'you can be wakened with it's shatter'. If you aren't sure what to do, find a manual and get instructions. Just don't stand there, and ponder it. The problem can't fix itself.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18) Strength Reversed: Your quiet world is being rocked this month, and you feel like everyone and everything is trying to get the best of you. Your darker side may be ready to strike out at anyone who steps onto your territory. You are struggling with two sides of your personality, and while Aquarians are known as the humanitarians of the world, your other half says, "I've given ALL that I had, now go home and just leave me ALONE!". You are being forced to take some control, and acting out can be tough for you. You enjoy owning your rock star image, but it's weighing heavy this month, and without the right motivation or gesture - you could look like a flaming butt-hole - rudely flipping them all off, telling them to stay out of your life! Yeah, you have a pretty good chance of losing the popularity contest for the next few years, unless you use that incredibly intelligent brain of yours to learn some patience and good manners. If people (and life) are raining on your parade, perhaps coming in 'last place' in popularity might be important at this time in your life. Solitude will give you some of that independent space that you need, and 'quiet' time can have some positive affects in getting you back in touch with your faith or belief system. Typically Aquarius thinks that they need no one, and no help. I believe you that you do need others, because you will need your fan club when you resurrect! Love yourself.
PISCES (February 19-March 20) The Lovers Reversed: There's a change in the air Pisces, can you feel it? The winds have shifted, and you're sailing in a different direction, which seems to cause you some confusion but excitement at the same time. Partnerships, relationships, and office affairs are rumbling, as everyone has ran over-time with their 'best' side, and now it is time to work through the 'tougher side' of personalities. You will struggle this month, trying to talk your way through this one, but talk is cheap nowadays, and your neptune strength will be necessary to keep your cup overflowing - unless you decide that the Vodka will do just fine. If you're not under the influence (alcohol, drugs, sex, etc) you could be blessed to see what is turning upside on your life, and utilize your gift of gab to get to the heart of matters to save your world. If not, a public display of interruptions in a union could be the talk of the town. A special connection with a work associate may look like the right person to turn to, if you look for a shoulder to cry on - but you may find out that you should have kept your personal information to yourself. It's not too late to save what you have built. You have an intuitive gift to know when it's time to make some genuine sacrifices in order to make things right. Decisions need to be made.

Astrological Happenings for June 2009
Posted by Suzi on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 12:59 AM
Astrological Happenings for June 2009
June begins to bloom a variety of changes that provide us with excitement and inspiration this month! On 06/02 Venus sextiles Neptune and Jupiter. The vibrations for this day can be quite magical with an overabundance of healing and creative energy. Meditation or quiet time is suggested, whether that be individually or with others. Ask of the Universe, and inhale magic! Venus enters Taurus 06/06, and we're a bit more reserved than normal, sending intentions, and waiting patiently to see what arrives at our doorstep. We're attracting positive energy in the areas of love and money. We could experience many different blessings this month, so be sure to notice everything that comes our way, and give thanks. Full moon in Sagittarius 06/07, we need to curb our voices as to what we think. Could be a storm brewing, and we could vocalize more than we should. Communication skills on 06/09 and 06/10, are not being processed properly, and misunderstandings are more than likely. Think about what we're really trying to express, then speak. Mercury in Gemini 06/13, we are now encouraged to politely speak our mind. We are more comfortable expressing ourselves, and we're attracting new people for friendships. Romance also has a good chance of sparking from these new friendships, so be comfortable in our own skin. We attract what we reflect.
Jupiter retrogrades 06/15, and we are asked to step back from the bigger picture and internalize our hopes and dreams. Spending quality time on taking care of ourselves and/or family is suggested. Introducing ourselves to our belief system again, allows us to find faith and motivation, in order to restore what we believe has been lost. We only need to search within. Someone isn't using their psychic antennae on 06/17, and we're unaware that there is a cry for freedom and change today. Rebellious behavior will be hard to control. It's best to simply walk away. Personal development, education, and work ventures are highlighted as areas that will truly console us. We need to replenish what has not been restored. We want closeness and to be nurtured, but we are cautious and not completely trusting of other's motives, so we withdraw. Our emotions will become unraveling and confusing if we allow them to. This energy is the perfect fuel to create passion into our work and lives again. Use the New Moon in Cancer on 06/22, and write out your dreams and wishes on a small piece of paper. Write what you desire the most for emotional security. Include a small checklist of things that you will do, to help the Universe understand what you want. Follow your checklist for the next few weeks to see doors of opportunities. Power games are in the air on 06/23 and 06/26, and egos and leadership are challenged. The moment is only short-lived, but it can develop into something bigger (and uglier) if emotions are not controlled. Don't dwell on this energy, so that it is easily released. It is important when faced with obstacles this month, to meditate and internalize to where our spirit breathes. Individuals are extra sensitive this month, as emotions weigh heavier than normal. It will be important to find solitude and creative outlets to work through them, and to love thyself!

Special Plates
Posted by Hal on Saturday, May 30th, 2009 2:21 PM
Notice how each particle moves.
Notice how everyone has just arrived here
From a journey.
Notice how each wants a different food.
Notice how the stars vanish as the sun comes up,
And how all streams stream toward the ocean.
Look at the chefs preparing special plates
For everyone, according to what they need.
Look at this cup that can hold the ocean.
Look at those who see the face.
Look through friends' eyes
Into the water that is
Entirely jewels.
Rumi is expressing awareness. Rumi understands that life is diverse; it’s a plethora of realities and experiences. There are metaphors everywhere that point out my multiplicity. I mentally make note of them, but ignore them. It’s fascinating to see myself focus on just one standard of life, the linear standard, which has a beginning and an end; every other life is out of focus. To me the distance is short, the road is bumpy and joy is limited. In fact everything seems to be limited; there’s just not enough stuff to go around, or that’s what I believe. I have been taught that I have one go at this method of existence and must get it right in order to make my mark and be what I was born to be, but I forget what I was born to be and allow someone else to remember for me. I get lost in the woods of judgment and my sole purpose is to survive and I make it as hard as I can on my self.
Rumi talks about diversity in his work Special Plates. Every particle or consciousness has its own plate, its own food, and moves to a different vibration. Physical consciousness shares a plate of diversity in order to expand. Water, stars and all the planets vibrate and move with me, but they express that movement in incredibly different ways. Everything is dependent on my perception, on my belief and then they become real to me. My five senses judge what is true or false in the standard back yard, I call physical life. Everything else I reject and throw in the basement of mental illusions, but in that basement particles continue to move and flow. Consciousness is always in action regardless of my awareness of it.
That basement door is opening. I’m opening it. Now is time. Conscious particles that have been swirling around waiting for me to open that door are entering my awareness and I’m expanding. The chef of consciousness that prepares food for all life is living through me and adding desert to my table. I am sensing my expanded presence in the ant, in a rose bush and a palm tree filled with nectar. I swim in a melting pot of consciousness and hear the tones of beauty that bubble through it.
The face of a star reflects my face as I dream of bouncing on the moon just as the sun comes up. The stream of consciousness within me becomes an ocean. It’s another world filled with food for thought. It’s a special plate as well as a cup that holds water filled with friends and the jewels of eternity. The special plate is a plate for everyone.

Natural Treatment of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Posted by Susan on Thursday, May 28th, 2009 6:55 PM

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that begins in any part of the urinary system, from the kidneys, to the ureters or bladder and urethra. Women tend to be at greater risk of UTI and are generally prescribed antiboiotic treatment, which in some cases can lead to recurrent infections due to increasingly resistant bacteria. There are, however, natural remedies for UTI that could prevent the need to antibiotic treatment.
Urine is generally a sterile fluid and infection will only occur when there is an introduction of outside bacteria. Escherichia coli (E. coli) causes about 80% of urinary tract infections in adults and can be diagnosed through urinalyisis and culture performed by your physician.
Not everyone experiences symptoms with a UTI, but general symptoms can include:
- A strong urge to urinate
- A burning sensation with urination
- Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
- Flank or back pain
- Lower abdomen discomfort or pressure
- Fever
- Blood in the urine (hematuria) or cloudy, unusual smelling urine
- Bacteria in the urine (bacteriuria)
Primarily, treatment should include disinfection and alkalinizaiton of the urinary tract. Many have heard of the use of cranberry juice for treatment of UTI and in a great number of cases this can be beneficial. Cranberry juice (the un-sweetened kind, not Ocean-Spray) and blueberry juice (un-sweetened) have anti-septic properties that can prevent the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract. More specifically, cranberry juice prevents the attachment of bacteria to the walls of the urinary tract. Freeze-dried cranberry capsules can also be taken as a supplement.
The use of probiotic supplements can also be benefical for keeping the bacteria in the urinary tract in check. If you experience re-current UTI's, include probiotics regularly in your routine. Avoid probiotics from commercial yogurt brands and they contain high amounts of sugar. Sugar, in any form will lead to an overgrowth of bacteria and perpetuate the infection.
Goldenseal and uva ursi are herbals that are commonly used to treat UTIs. Both herbs have great antiseptic qualites that can make management of UTI successful. They can be administered in a tea form, as a liquid tincture or encapsulated supplement.
Along with naturopathic treatments, I generally include some homeopathic support of UTI. Homepathics can be very gentle and still make a tremendous difference in terms of healing. Homeopathics are also a great choice for pregnant women expericience UTI, as they are gentle enough to take. Some helpful remedies include:
- Cantharis (sharp burning pain, intense urge to urinate)
- Staphysagria (continual burning, result of sexual intercourse)
- Apis (urinate frequently, but only small quantities are passed, stinging pain)
- Belladonna (urge to urinate is frequent and intense; bladder feels very sensitive)
Finally, do not overlook the importance of water and hydration. Start your day with a tall glass of water upon waking and continue to drink at least 2-3 liters of water throughout the day.

Amazing weekend ... by Glenda Gibbs
Posted by Glenda on Monday, May 25th, 2009 6:34 PM
It's early and quiet. I've been in a non-stop mode for quite some time, especially this past week.
My weekend was quite a paradox of cultures and lifestyles... inclusive of6am phone counseling session with a client, several wedding rehearsals and weddings, both local and at a distance (120 miles round trip) and a pre-marital counseling session with an inmate (of a maximum setting prison) and his former wife.
Random thoughts here .... the client - mid-thirty female with whom I've worked with for about 2 years has earned herself confidence, interrupting the incessant dysfunction of her past and putting in place healthy thoughts/behaviors and those choices have launched her into getting her life in balance, being a role model to her family ... implementing boundaries and demonstrating happiness is exclusive of the drama from which she came from. My working with her this past year has been more about 'fine-tuning' ...my listening is most astute to the subtleties and addressing those -her awareness is likened to a lit candle ... she shines
The weddings ... located at the following venues: a back yard; a historic mansion's grounds and steps to the mansion; an old park in Walla Walla WA ... with a gazebo having the main floor up a flight of stairs with a view of the park; a golf course club house; lastly, a river boat.
The prison setting ... while I've attended to other prison and jail settings, this was the first of it's kind. I'm continuing to process the experience - partly due to a written report I need to submit.Interesting thing ... I wasn't nervous - I didn't treat the inmate any different than I would one of my clients. We were in a large room with probably 20 tables where other inmates met with family and friends ...the inmates had to face the guards, I purposely sat across from my client and his former wife to my left.
Rather than begin the session with pointed questions, I asked them to tell me what they wanted me to know. Initially he was tight lipped and said that he wasn't going to share about his personal life to a stranger - which I understood, thinking to myself - if you're wanting to marry you'll need to find a way to share.
The former wife started talking...(they knew of the topics we were going to discuss prior to our meeting)... as I continued to hold that frame of "what do you want me to know"he started engaging. His eyes were of steel - I looked beyond his eyes.While the human part of me knows it was his way of testing me... an attempt of intimidating me - I never released my eye contact instead I allowed my essence to flow. My mind was present to his sharing.Ultimately, it was their choice to share or not.
A couple of other attempts to rattle me were his religious belief of being Satanic and conversation inclusive of sex. My response to his belief of Satan... it is his choice and regarding sex - dialogue regarding sex and the situation: imperative - should the conversation become in appropriate I'd say so ...
At one point he said, "you sure are relaxed". I acknowledged that I was (I really was as prior to going to the prison I tapped, said a prayer and I encased myself with golden light). I trusted my intuition.
This man is 41 and has been a 'free man' for 8 years of his life ... the remaining time being in prison settings. A variety of convictions, including theft, armed robbery and assault. He spoke of his life inside vs outside and how his former wife adds to his daily living. She agreed ... though she lives in her own prison, i.e., keeping her private life a secret from her bio family and her work. She's really excited that she has a new girl friend with whom she has shared the truth of her situation ... This couple have been together off and on (mostly on) since 1987 - married '88 and divorced'92. Six months past the divorce they resumed their earlier roles as husband and wife (unmarried).
I've given thought to the information they shared ... I asked myself if there was manipulation of their sharing or left out pieces of information ... probably. There is no doubt I received more information than either of them had even thought possible ...
My task was to determine their suitability for marriage.
I know they are concerned with what my recommendation will be to the powers at be in the prison system - I will write the report recommending that another session isn't necessary because of their cooperation and extensive disclosure of information and I recommend they be permitted to be married.
...
I recall being in each of the aforementioned environments .. paying attention to the energy .. I observed the conversations ... and the different levels of energy being drawn to support those conversations.
It also comes to my mind how we are all susceptible to being a prisoner to something. The inmate has walls surrounding him... I contemplate what I'm a prisoner to... and to reevaluate my freedom of choice.
Amazing weekend.
And today, I rest and replenish within my backyard... for it is a mecca of tranquility, a sanctuary where I'm privileged to enjoy the fresh air,sun shining, lush greenery, exquisite fragrances of flowers and trees blooming .. listening to the birds chit-chatting amongst themselves ...the bees as they delight themselves with the nectar of a sugar locust tree ..
