Talking with the Invisible

Important news about Reiki and Mesothelioma

2011-12-16T13:18:00.000-08:00

Western medicine is making great strides in recognizing the healing affects of life-force energy. I was recently contacted by a representative of MesotheliomaSymptoms.com online directory and Mesothelioma.com, both sites asking to share links.

After reading what was written about the benefit and affect Reiki offers to those with life-threatening illness I agreed to post a link to both sites.

I recommend reading what is written from their clinicians on how they view the healing power of Reiki. Type Reiki in the search bar to access the articles.

Awakening your inner Shaman

2011-12-12T11:54:00.000-08:00

A Shaman acts as a bridge to the spirit world for the purpose of healing.Shamanism has been popularized these past years as we are being drawn back to the source of the power within us. The ancient art of becoming a shaman is a skill that spans many lifetimes. A true shaman does not claim that power, as he/she understands it is a journey, one born from personal experience.

Translating the message of spirit into workable formula's for daily living is a time-honored tradition. Some come to it naturally, while others are drawn into it from personal experiences. Shamans are divinators and translators through the relationship they build in the spirit world.

Inherent in our soul lies the power of all that is, we are our own healer, teacher, shaman.
As a Hopi elder spoke; we are the ones we have been waiting for.

What is Reiki Facts & Origin
Reiki (pronounced rãy-kĭ) is a non-invasive energy
therapy that promotes the body’s natural healing.

It is a laying-on-of- hands, like a mothers touch. It
supports the body, mind, spirit, and emotion.

Mikao Usui, a Japanese man rediscovered it in the
early 1900’s. Reiki is a Japanese word that
translates to universal life force energy and has a
rich history that has been reawakened these past
years and brought to the masses.

Reiki popularity comes from its ability to
compliment any form of medicine, or healing.

It is applied through the energy system of the body,
and one does not need to touch to experience
its healing affects.

Anyone is a candidate for Reiki, as there are no
age limits for this synergistic form of healing.

The power within Reiki is magnetized by the
individual receiving it, and stimulates the channels
in the body to restore balance. It is the invisible
energy that is life-force.

Reiki requires a vessel to be channeled. It is
passed from teacher to student by a method of
an attunement, and is taught in levels to give
the body time to adjust to the energy
in a natural way.

Reiki promotes a sense of well-being and a feeling
of connection to a greater purpose of being.

As you form a partnership with Reiki, a rapport
with the compassionate universe emerges, and
a portal for transformation emerges.

Having or giving a Reiki treatment is an uplifting
experience for the practitioner as well
as the recipient.

As the energy passes through it deepens the
connection between the giver and the receiver and
a respect for the interconnection of life.

The energy of the universe is limitless; a never
ending supply is always available and can be used
in any area of living.

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-31T14:15:00.000-07:00

Halloween is the time for reflecting on the past and looking ahead to the future. Both and ending and a beginning, it is a day for releasing old ideas, outworn behaviors, unwanted habits and bonds in order to make room for something new to be born.

A time of reflection and a time to honor the ancestors who have gone before us.

The Earth says farewell to the God as He will once again be reborn in the Goddess, as the cycle continues.

On Halloween the veil between the worlds is thinner than any other time of the year, making it easier to communicate with spirit guides and non-physical entities, and departed loved ones.

Some religions believe it is the day of all souls and they perform rituals to release the souls trapped in the illusion of this world.

Offerings of apples, pumpkins, acorns, and other fruits of the harvest will honor the soul's passage from one realm to another.

ode to Joe

2011-07-05T09:55:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time one man and one woman wondered through life searching. They didn't know what was missing until one day the woman heard the man's voice and recognized it. She knew in that moment she had found what was lost. He saw her and instinctively knew she was the one. In him she found solace and safety and the love she always longed for. In him she found the courage to live and together they created a family based in unconditional love.

No matter what the challenge they endure knowing they can depend on one another, always. Not once did the woman question why, knowing in her heart God brought him to her and she to him for a reason.
Through thick and thin, struggle and strife, they remain faithful to one another, knowing the purpose of their life!

Happy 8th anniversary to the love of my life! I wouldn't trade one moment of it as I would not be me, without you!

belief or reality?

2011-06-10T12:32:00.000-07:00

There is one relationship in life, the one we have with our Creator. When we surrender to a power greater than the self, life can change dramatically. We can be peeled like a onion, until all the layers fall away and we are left emptied, with a opportunity to create new awareness.
Change takes commitment and practice. When we look within, we begin to understand the root of reaction is from what we believe is true. Beliefs are adopted through experience, and we often don't remember where they originated. What we think often stems from stories from the past, or worry about the future.
Someone shares a belief, we believe it and now we live from it. We can stop the cycle by deciding what is true for us and if it serves a higher purpose.
Changing the rules for living affects all relationships. As you grow it is easy to retreat back and grab onto what is familiar. Shifting awareness is a process,which takes patience. I don't believe we can stop what we think, we can look at it from a new perspective and challenge its validity.
You can live in any story or reality, or you can choose to be free.
Life is perfect when we know we are complete and whole in the now, and we release all that stuff we thought defined us.

feather on the path

2011-06-07T09:33:00.000-07:00

I went outside today and noticed a spray of feathers on the driveway. I bent over to pick them up and began to look around, to see if there was a bird to go with the feathers. Instead I found more feathers, twenty one of them, some of them were in clusters, scattered over my front yard.
I stopped to give thanks and bless the bird they belonged to. They varied in sizes and color, some were blue-gray, and other looked like they were dipped in black at the tips or on the sides. I walk into the house, feathers in hand, to get a candle and light it for the creature who left them.
Receiving a feather is a gift from Great Spirit, and I am deeply honored. I will give them a new life, as I use them to decorate the jewelry I am making. In this way I give back for the gift I was given, and share it with the world.

a love story, the beginning

2011-06-06T10:22:00.000-07:00

When he met her he knew she was his home. He came face to face with his destiny and he was up to the challenge. He knew what awaited him and life would forever be changed. Every summer he went to where she worked, waiting until she was old enough to have his chance to court her. Her beauty shone from deep within her soul, the light and love that came through her velvet voice was strangely familiar, as if he always knew he would be with her.

The year was 1935, an ethnic girl from a family like his. He instantly wanted to protect her, in her he longed for the mother he never knew. A man would be lucky to shine her shoes!
Who was he to think he could be with such a treasure. He would win her affection for his life depended on it.

for George J. Joseph
this came to me right after my father's passing. I didn't know what to do with it until today, when I felt compelled to post it. My father fell in love with my mom when she was 11, they married in 1945, raised 5 children until she took the journey home in 1993. He continued on for 16 years until the age of 91yrs old. The only thing we take with us is the love....

getting past the past

2011-06-04T11:20:00.000-07:00

What can we do to get past the past? When we become caught in a story that only exists in the mind, while the emotion silently affects all the choices we make creating a limiting view of life and relationship.

Suffering is born from conditioning. It takes physical energy to hold on to the past. Letting go creates a detoxification on all levels and gives freedom to view the world and life from a new perspective. We can choose to be in any reality and live in the shadow of the past, or be free in the now.

Breaking conditioned response takes awareness and the willingness to tell the truth to yourself, about what you feel, without attachment, as you give voice to the experience. Feelings are the keys to the freedom we seek, as they serve as a tool of transcendence. Emotions are reactions to beliefs we think are true, separating one from experiencing life through unconditional love.

Life is a circle, and each direction represents aspects of who we are. Indigenous cultures embrace each direction, as they honor lessons as a tool for living. We walk the circle many times over, and each time we have the opportunity to be the center of the circle, using the wisdom of experience as a guide to light the way.

breaking the spell

2011-06-02T16:02:00.000-07:00

Does death separate us from loved ones or is it the belief that separates us?

When I think of people that I miss I know where to find them, they live inside me. I exist in all things and all things exist in me. I know in my heart that energy can't die. Belief, emotion, concepts and conditioning, those things die. Life is eternal and changes form, like a caterpillar into a butterfly.

When we believe we are the story of what we shared with them, then yes, we can block those we love and feel separated. Separation is an illusion. When we view life through unconditional love, we break the spell of the illusion that we are separate.

Missing someone is your life? Drop into your heart where love will light the way to find what was never lost,
through the spirit that unites all life!

Buzz...

2011-05-25T11:18:00.000-07:00

I go out to the backyard to remove the flowers that fall into the pond from the palo verde tree. As I pick up the skimmer I am drawn to the buzzing, and I focus for a moment, as I am right underneath a mi-rad of bee's enjoying the nectar of the tree. An amazing sound, with dangerous potential, yet I am unafraid as I know they are not interested in me. The bee works as a community, and they work for a single purpose.

I reflect upon the bee community thinking every thing they do goes to the queen bee, which represents the feminine. She sits back, receiving.. She knows the higher purpose is served as her community acts as one.

Life is delicate balance of the masculine/feminine the giving and receiving, the cycle of all life.

recipe for the day, love

2011-05-24T11:37:00.000-07:00

today is Tuesday, and is governed by the pink ray, the ray of love. Begin with a hint of pink
as a reminder of the love you are made of.

be you in everything you do. trust every thing that falls on your path today is a map that draws you inward.

go into your heart and know that is the point of light that connects you with the invisible world that unites all life, the spirit that is life.

take one step toward something you dream of, how would you know who you were if you never took a risk?
if one don't get it the first time I know the universe will bring another chance, you can bet on it!

channel emotions with the intelligence they are only temporary, a flash of a moment, bless it and move on.
this keeps one from having to go back to go forward.

be strong in your body, as it lives in present time, a place where infinity intersects with divine love

no matter where I am, or what I am doing, I am exactly where I am meant to be!

Savior, the horse teacher

2011-05-21T11:31:00.000-07:00

I lead my horse into the arena to lunge him .He and I have a history as he is my first horse. We have been through so much together. He showed me, then I showed him. When I met him I instantly knew what to call him, Savior . My thought was, is he saving me or I him? Then I knew we were saving each other.
He is powerful, proud and strong. He was trained and bred to be a reigning horse and performed exceptionally, until he was injured. The owner tried to "fix" him and when he realized his show days were over sold him to a ranch that auctions horses before sending them to slaughter house.
For 2 years he has been recovering from a very serious injury. I always knew he would recover, never allowing myself to think anything else. I stayed present, every day by focusing on what I needed to do for that day or even that moment.
The last few months I have seen him returning to his old ways, stubborn, playful and generally a powerhouse of energy. The biggest challenge with him is how he shows me up in the round pen. Being in the right frame of mind is important in lunging a horse. Often they will challenge your leadership skills.
Today was one of those days. At first he changed direction, something you don't want him to do unless you ask him too. I chased him around, frustrated, thinking oh no, back to the beginning!
I began to realize the energy was coming from me.
I took a deep breathe and stopped him. He came right to me and I stroked his forward telling him, we don't have to struggle for power, we can work together. Let's stay in the now, rather than go back and repeat what we already know.
He sighed, licked and chewed, (a sign of relaxation) and we went again. I sent him to the fence with my lunge whip and a new approach. I felt my energy strengthen, I filled myself while I emptied my fears and he trotted along the fence with style and grace.
I ended it, as I wanted to close on a positive note.
I thanked him for showing me how to work in right relation, from a place of leadership and trust.

Waiting

2011-05-19T09:59:00.000-07:00

It is so hard to wait, wait for a check, a phone call, a test result. Expectation, can hurt. My mind circles around the idea, over and over, like a merry-go-round. It won't stop until I ask the question, do I have control of the how and when? What if the thing I wait for comes before it's time, like unripe fruit waiting to be eaten. Sometimes letting it ripen too much brings disappointment.
It is within my power to surrender, just in case what I wait for won't be good for me, (don't want to take any chances), and if I rush to the finish, maybe the finish won't be what I wanted.
Holding space for this thing takes all my patience, faith and trust. Can I trust, am I up to it, do I have the strength to endure the long waiting, even if only a moment. If I work with my mind, the one who tortures me into submission, maybe I can transcend the long waiting into knowing, knowing all things happen in the perfect time.
I can be tortured or I can trust. My heart knows what is right, perfect and true. I can re-align my will with a higher will and breathe again. When I realize I don't have to think about or engage myself in the how and why's of it, I feel empty once again, and free.

simply acceptance

2011-05-18T09:28:00.000-07:00

The universe is so wise in what it gives us. Sometimes lost dreams aren't lost, they transform into a different form. I am searching for the perfect thing, is there such a thing? What happens if I choose the wrong thing, will the sky fall in, or will I get another chance to choose again?
As I write, I see out of the corner of my eye, my dog, in the waiting. He sits patiently, in the hope his dream, the dream of how I share my breakfast with him, comes true. No matter what I choose, to give or not, this dog accepts it. Simple. He knows when I clear the dishes, the dream dies, now he turns away to run outside to chase rocks, and it never occurs to him that his happiness was dependent on anything. The relationship we share simply exists, in the realm of where all relationships live, inside me, In that reality, conditions can't co-exist where there is love. My fear of being unloved for my choice drops away as I realize, the only thing real between us is the love we share, in a place where the timelessness of my spirit co-exists with all life.

11:11 again

2011-05-17T11:27:00.000-07:00

I look at the clock and it reads 11:11. I see all versions of the number one, every day. I look up when its says 1:10, 1:01, 11:01. At every level this one, beckons me. Hmm what does it mean? One a primary number, 0 the great void. To me it is the center of all things, pure unformed creative force. The invisible talks with me in symbols. I get it, its time to create and begin or continue with my journey. The voice, get busy and don't look back, be strong, be proactive keep putting one foot in front of the other. Trust, trust who you are and let go of your story.
Every day I speak with the invisible ones who I know are there. I have always sensed them. When I was little I would lay awake at night, hiding under the covers. I felt the presence of something and it scared me. I now know they are there, guiding me and helping me to know what I need to remember, so I can stop expecting so much of myself.
