An Invitation To Healing Thru Forgiveness

I am a healer. I am both in process of healing myself and facilitating others in their own self-healing processes. With that in mind, I would like to invite those of you who feel so led to join me in my new Facebook group, Healing Thru Forgiveness.

The goal of the group is to be a safe place for people who are working on healing. It is a place to ask questions of myself and others who may be going through similar issues. It is a place to ask for prayers or positive energy to be sent your way. It is a place to post stories of healing techniques that have worked for yourself or others. Feel free to post inspirational thoughts and pictures as well, as many times they are healing in and of themselves.

Through connecting to each other, we can help ourselves and the planet heal in so many ways! Won't you join me in the process of healing so we can usher in a new way of living, a new way of life?

Holding The Space, Healing The Collective

Ever feel like your personal problems are part of a much bigger collective of problems? This is not your imagination! Because we are all One (and not the separate entities we believe ourselves to be), the vast majority of problems we experience are shared by the vast majority of people on the planet. This holds considerable promise when it comes to healing. We can actually help heal the whole planet when we hold the space and work on our own piece of it!

Recently, I have experienced some emotional triggers that really made me take notice. With the help of a good friend and fellow healer, I was able to isolate the tension I felt to my abdomen--basically the area of the Solar Plexus (3rd) Chakra which is connected to power and self-esteem. I visualized it as this huge, black twisted mass that was highly contracted.

After talking about it and asking questions, I understood this mass was all held in place by suppression. I began to recall bits and pieces of numerous female past lives where someone or something managed to place me in some sort of box so I could not be who I was. It was the suppression of the Divine Feminine. As each layer was allowed to build up, the mass grew bigger.

We worked to send healing light and energy to the mass. In process, it came to me that the last few lifetimes the suppression was so intense because I had begun to suppress myself. I had become so tired of the physical pain I had endured that I suppressed myself before it got physical. The healing power of Mother Earth was brought in as she has the actual power to ground and center us. This had almost immediate positive effect on me because I have a very strong connection to the land.

The really cool part about this process was that it felt as though we were not only doing personal work, but that healing this place in myself was serving to heal the suppression of the Divine Feminine at large. There is still a great deal of work to be done, but it is happening. I see evidence as I connect with many of my friends, They are also working through many of the same issues that confront the Divine Feminine on this planet, and they too are beginning to overcome them.

It is time to tune in to all those sacred places within that connect you to the Divine Feminine part of yourself. It is time to remember yourself as healer, as caretaker, as intuitive counselor. It is time to embody unconditional love. Heal yourself and the planet heals with you. Holding the space for one holds the space for all!

Mama

I have a wonderfully loving and spiritual earthly mother that I have learned a lot from. Still, this post is not about her. It's about a mother who is both physical and spiritual and is mother to us all--Gaia, better known as Mother Earth.

Mama is making a comeback in a big way lately. Terrible men have made technologies that have hurt and destroyed Mama. They've polluted her land, atmosphere and water. They've harvested her life's blood and precious organs in the pursuit of riches--even to the point of injecting her with toxic wastes in order to gain more. Still, with all that she continues to work to heal herself at the same time she heals us from these toxic effects. Mama's heart still beats. As it does so, healing energies are projected from within to the beings who receive life from her.

Mama is the ultimate life support system. She provides all the essential ingredients needed to sustain life on her. She provides all these things to every living being on her, all without charge. None of us would continue to exist without her  support, yet many of us believe we are more entitled to Mama's resources than others of us. We even harvest her resources in an attempt to seize power and control. Mama gives to all equally. It is humans that don't always play fair.

Mama is the ultimate healer. On a physical level, she emits electrons. Scientific studies have proven these electrons have an antioxidant effect on the body when we are directly connected to Mama through touching her, human flesh directly to earth or natural water source. Animals and plants naturally get this from her. It is only man who becomes physically disconnected through his own "advances" in technology.

The healing is spiritual as well. Those who take the time to connect to her through communing with nature can feel it. I know for me personally, my mind is soothed and I feel I have the strength to go on after spending even a few minutes walking in the woods or on the beach. Even being outside among the trees and grass restores me to the point of feeling much more grounded and connected to my heart.

Mama is the ultimate example of the Divine Feminine. She is provider, nurturer, healer. She connects to everything that lives on her in unseen ways. It is her love for all her children that sustains us. Man has spent thousands of years trying to control and tame her, yet for all those attempts she still manages to resist and provides life and healing to her children.

Mama loves us all--even the "naughty" ones. Isn't it time we gave Mama back all the love and consideration she has shown us?

Our Own Worst Enemy

I've had many female past lives. Recently, I've noticed a common thread among many of them. I usually began life as a very brilliant, independent (and headstrong) young woman and over time was stifled and suppressed in some way. Often times, the suppression would be physical as that was the only way to really bring me down. In more recent lifetimes though, I felt myself being more on guard. I would hide who I was before anyone could physically suppress me. Instead of being the shining light I was born to be I would suppress myself. I have become my own worst enemy.

I would say that is true with many of us. We are our own worst enemies. Instead of allowing our gifts and talents to be expressed in the world, we hide them. We believe we are not good enough. We trust our programming that problems and mistakes overshadow the good we do. Often we feel so unworthy we allow our lives to be wasted in the hamster wheel that is the world today.

Now is the time to remember who we are. We are all brilliant, shining lights full of gifts and talents that can illuminate the whole world if we allow ourselves to shine! We do not need to live dull, ordinary lives so that a few people can benefit from our labors.

We allow this to happen because we are cut off from our hearts--our own connection to the Divine. We listen to our programming because we have been taught to ignore what is inside us. It is our hearts that help us find ourselves again. It is in our hearts that we begin to reconnect with our own self worth.

Stop being your own worst enemy. Dare to dream. Dare to follow your own heart!

What You Need To Know About Meditation

I always begin my radio show with a meditation designed to get people centered on their hearts. While it is my hope that this will enable people to connect to the Oneness that lives within, I don't necessarily believe it will be effective for all people. The ways I connect to Oneness may not be what you need, and that's okay. What you need to know about meditation and connecting within is that there is no right way or wrong way to do it. What is important is to find something that works for you.

There are meditations I have personally found more helpful to myself than others. Does this make the less helpful ones wrong or bad? No. They just don't seem to work as well for me. Chances are, they are a better fit for other people, and this is where their usefulness comes in.

Understand that if something makes you feel extremely negative, you need to question why. There is information there that you need to be aware of. That information may be telling to you run far away from whatever gave you the negative feelings in the first place. It may be telling you this is something you need to face and tell you how to do so. When you do not pay attention or just run away without asking for clarity, the problem will rear its ugly head sometime down the road.

The most important thing to be aware of is this: if someone tells you to meditate in a certain way and it does not feel right, don't do it!!! Your heart will instruct you on what is best for you. If you follow anything other than that, you can more easily be led astray.

There is a practice that will work for you. It is a matter of giving yourself time to connect and listen to the instruction that comes from within. Your heart knows. Trust its guidance.

The Refiner's Fire

I had a breakfast appointment with a friend the other day. This particular friend and I have a lot in common because we share the experience of having been divorced. Both of us suffered forms of suppression and abuse in those relationships, and both of us seemed to have learned a great deal from our suffering. What hit me was that there are some very powerful lights here on Earth who apparently agreed to such a life before coming here.

We discussed the idea of being marked--bringing such light into our reality that darkness is attracted to it. Indeed, this is the way our world operates. It's sort of moth to a flame with the moth equating to the darkness. The only way that darkness can be transformed is by approaching the light, often to the point of being consumed by it.

We also talked about marriage to unequal partners and the fact that marrying someone who is not your equal can bring you down. Ending the relationship helps, but at what cost? It took me years of rebuilding to get back to my former self. I remember going in to the relationship knowing I was stronger and believing I had enough strength to help my partner through it. The thing is, you cannot fix someone who does not want to be fixed.

As I chatted with my friend, I realized the mutual theme here was the suppression of the divine feminine. Life on planet Earth has been about squashing all those qualities that are sacred in the feminine--intuition, caretaking, and unconditional love--qualities of the heart that women are so often drawn to. Even the rise of feminism has managed to suppress this divine feminine spirit as these heart qualities are ruled over by the more masculine powers of the mind. It isn't about bringing out the feminine. It's about becoming masculine to succeed in a very masculine world.

Those women like myself who have gone through this process of overcoming suppression have been sent through a refiner's fire. It's a process of cleaning out all that negativity and leaving the pure feminine heart intact. The gold that lies within can then be seen in all its strength, glory and power.

Arise from your graves and allow that light within to shine for the world to see. It is the refining process that has made you better! It is the refining process that makes you whole!

Hungry For News

There are a good many people who watch the news. In the family I grew up in, my father liked to watch the news every evening. As it usually came on a dinner time, I watched a good deal of news as a child. That didn't change when I became an adult. What has changed in recent years is what I pay attention to and how I interpret the items I see on mainstream news.

I understand the need for information. There is nothing wrong with asking questions and searching for understanding. In fact, that's what learning and growing is all about. Questions lead you to new awareness. The problem I've gotten myself into is that I have a tendency to look outside myself for answers first. That's what I know--what my programming has always been.

Ironically, the whole reason I became aware of the alternative news scene in the first place was because I was forced to look inside myself for answers!!! I was having problems that the mainstream had no solutions for. I could hear my heart in the background saying, "There's so much more to this story than meets the eye." When I finally took the time to listen to that still small voice and began to look for answers within, I was led to outside information that backed up the answers I received in my heart!!!

So many of us are hungry for news. We want some indication--any indication--that things are working out the way they should be. The problem with this is our focus is on the wrong place. We are so used to looking outside ourselves for answers we don't take the time to consult our hearts for understanding of what is happening! This is why nothing gets done and our world struggles to leave her problems behind.

When we turn our focus inward, we are open to understandings that are not readily apparent in the outside world. When we turn our focus inward, we are instructed through the wisdom of Oneness what our role is in the universe. Not only do we receive the news we need when we need it, but we are able to play an active role in fixing problems and helping our world evolve.

Our world will make a great deal more progress when we begin to understand the answers lie within.
