Flowers and the background...

When I began this blog, I made a commitment to myself, that I would try to be as honest as possible. So with that, when I tell you that my days can be equally as dark as my light ones, I mean it. I suppose sharing myself on a 'down' day gives it purpose.

I won't go into too much detail, but I got into a fight with someone. I was feeling down this morning, and e-mailed a friend at work. I vented, but not in an angry way, in a 'This is how I am feeling, and this is what I said and did.' kind of way. I waited and waited for a response.( She's busy at work on Mondays.) I felt down. Heavy, more like it. I noticed a thick fog around me. Suddenly, after an hour, I felt better. I had been checking my e-mail often for a response. When I had the 'up' feeling, I checked, and sure enough, there was a response from my friend. I felt supported. That's all I needed. Just a "You did good, and I'm proud of you." I deliberately chose to write about this because it's important for you to know that I have down days, too. Not just happy-miracle days. When I do have these kinds of days, I try to write about what I'm feeling, and use it as a learning tool. Not just for me, but to pass on to my students. 

And it's important to recognize that I felt 'up' before I opened my e-mail. I could sense an energy being given to me. And she's not even Reiki trained!

I added to my upcoming lecture on 'Forgiveness' today. I had the thought that anger is like a fist, clenched until it is numb. Forgiveness is the pain that comes when you open it, but then the deep relief and relaxation that follows. 

Everything happens for a reason. My dark days are usually reminders of the areas of my life that need work. I'm only as strong as my weakest link. 

I chose this picture because these are my hiacynths right now. I'm chosing to focus on the growth and the color; not the yucky dead stuff in the back ground. :- )

I'm feeling inspired now, and I'm happy I chose to push through the way I was feeling and write about it. That makes it a little better, somehow. Thank you for listening.

Have a beautiful day!

A weekend full of Pings!

What fun! Today we listed our sofa on Craig's list and sold it within 2 hours, to a family that just bought a cottage, on the same lake that the Mohr family cottage is on. (The place we hang out every weekend in the summer). Of ALL the lakes in Wisconsin, they own a cottage on the same lake. What an Amazing coincidence! Or not... I think the universe is making it easy for us to move. This family just happened to show up while my father was dropping off boxes for us. Dad was able to help us move another couch upstairs to replace the set we sold. It all worked out more perfect than I could have ever imagined. AND we got $200 more than I thought we would for the set!

Our other amazing 'ping' involves a free standing basket ball hoop. A few days ago, I had been looking on Craig's list, and saw an old, dirty looking one. The next day, the first 2 homes we looked at with our realtor had free-standing basket ball hoops. ( I had pointed this out to our realtor and explained 'pings') Today, our neighbor told us that he just won one from the grocery store and decided to sell it to Brian for $30. That's just weird. I didn't even want one?? I just kept seeing them. The boys are a little small too enjoy it, but they'll soon grow into it. Besides, I  like to shoot baskets. :- ) 

We are busy cleaning our house out, trying to make it presentable for a showing. I think that because we are making space, more wonderful things are coming in to our lives. 

Our final miracle came yesterday. Apparently, we over payed our State taxes. We got a $500 check back. That's SO wonderful. I am feeling absolutely blessed with miracles today. I'm in a radiant state of gratitude. I couldn't wait to share. I hope you had a great weekend!

A hunting we will go

Today was fun. It started out with a bit of sad news regarding my 3rd death; a client's uncle died. So now that's over with. Death means a BIG transformation. I pulled that angel card today, again, but from my office deck. Yesterday's was at home. We went house hunting with our realtor. I explained 'Pings' to him. Such as the same address as mine growing up, blocks that were in a pile outside that happen to be the same ones we found at our current house, and a street name that was the same as Brian's middle school. There were many more. He was intrigued by what I was saying and mentioned the book 'The Celestine Prophecy'. I said, "Exactly!". I told him that he had to have some kind of insight otherwise we wouldn't have attracted him to ourselves. We found him, randomly, on the Internet. 

We are inspired to pack this weekend. Or at least, start. This home is gorgeous, but we need to move closer to our son's new school. I've pulled the 'play' card a few times, including this morning (I think it's the 4Th time!) Every time I ask about moving, this is the card I get. I think it's supposed to be fun. Well, today certainly was!

Transformation

Today has begun with a bit of a rough start. I pulled the 'transformation' card this morning; which usually means that I'll feel inspired, or there will be a big shift. I got a call from and old friend (we were just talking about yesterday), this morning. Her black lab, of 16, died. This was her baby. Our dog is doing poorly, again. After a party this weekend, he is limping all over the place. I can't even tell which side is worse. Hearing that her dog lived to be 16 when Oliver is only 7 was insightful for me. I'm trying to figure out just what this means? Just HOW we can fix him. In the mean time, he's getting lots of Reiki.

When I came home, I received an e-mail that one of my clients, (whom I saw yesterday), was informed that her son's friend, committed suicide.  Just 25  years old. This is 2 deaths in less than 30 min. Now, I don't know about you, but my deaths ALWAYS come in 3's. So, I'm waiting. 

The weather is overcast and windy. It's a bit eerie outside. I'll keep everyone posted. Death means 'transformation'. The very card I pulled this morning. Interesting.

'Play'

4-23-08

This morning, I was driving in the car thinking about how I had foreseen it would snow 2 more times. One would be a blizzard, and the other about 6 inches, total. Well, we got the blizzard, and no snow since. I wondered if I should buy some hanging baskets, because we are trying to sell our house this spring. Just then, on a radio station I almost never listen to, the announcer spoke about the possibility of snow in the forecast. I have this thing with Weather... I know it. 9 years ago, I knew we could have gotten married outside because I foresaw 'mid 70's, and sunny, with a light breeze'.  That was that exact weather on that day. Brian has believed in my weather abilities ever since.  And 2 years ago, I had told Brian that we needed a generator by June 17Th. Well, there was a touch down tornado not 20 min. from here that day.  I always know what's coming. Sometimes weeks in advance. We ended up not needing a generator. But that is why I had the feeling, I'm sure. 

Anyway, back to my story. Just like that, I had a resonating moment. I was suddenly 100% trusting of my intuition. I 'asked' about moving our home and searching for a business location. You see, it is our intention to move closer to our son's new school, in the Milwaukee area. My guides indicated that we should focus on our home vs. a new business location.  I also saw that Brian will have success with his stocks around May 19Th, and to do nothing until then. 

When I got to my office, I pulled an angel card. I pulled, "Play". Now, this is the 3rd time that I've pulled this card; all from 3 different decks of cards, when asking about moving. At first I thought it was some kind of a mistake. But I know better. The angel cards never make mistakes. Apparently, our perspective has been incorrect. House shopping and home listing should be FUN. We've begun stressing out about it. 

So now, I'm imagining that it's like fishing; relaxing and surprising. If I get a fish I don't like, I simply  throw it back. But I love the process. It's enjoyable.

 I needed this perspective shift because we are feeling a bit overwhelmed with the thought of so much change, so soon.  I called Brian immediately and shared my insights. It seemed we both needed a perspective shift.

Today I completed a very long, but rewarding weekend. I trained 4 students into the Reiki Mastership. There was a magic that occurred in this class that is difficult to both describe and believe. One student imagined an energy portal that felt like a summer garden, and told no one. Suddenly, another student said, "I smell flowers and cut grass!" It's a language without words. A feeling without explanation. It's pure validation to the intuitive student. And from this comes the light of confidence.

This weekend we explored the topic of spirit guides and entity attachments. The group struggled with fear of the unknown. After some time, I successfully explained that evil energies are no more than annoying. Like spiders; powerless, unless you allow it to climb onto you and bite you! And if you get bit, it heals. You don't die.  When I described entities, it's was as though the students felt like they should run out of the room with their hands over there heads because there was a gorilla-sized spider that was going to eat them alive!  You must allow the bad energy into your being, or it can not dwell there.  What does that mean? If you feel the need to punish yourself, because you feel guilty about something, you allow such things to attach to you. One student did just this. Once she released the horror of actually having something attached to her, she felt a new found freedom. I'm so proud of her. What an accomplishment to purge something that has been with her for so long! And how silly to carry it for so many years! There was never a need. Her perspective as a child was to punish herself. How many of us have done this? What if I told you that you might attract a negative spirit. Quick...love yourself!!! You are perfection!

 

There was a request for an online chat room or posting of some sort. My blog is a start. I'm working on creating a safe community for people to be who they are, both online and in town. 

It's such a gift to see energy and communicate with guides. What a miracle when a group of 5 people can sense and feel and even hear the same things. They all saw auras, and color this weekend!

My advice to those that feel lonely with their gifts is to remember that although the Earth looks flat, we know it's round. :- ) Or, as I always say, we run on 6 cylinders. The rest of the world runs on 5. Having 6 senses enriches our lives. We see it in full color; like the movie 'Pleasant ville'.  Be patient with those around you. They just don't know the truth. In time, you may be comfortable enough to be who you are entirely, and you'll move from 'weird' to 'interesting'. 

I have. ;- )

Have a beautiful evening!

A healing, pet story

4-3-08

Today, I experienced a true miracle! Our dog, Oliver, had surgery on his cruciate ligament in the fall (his left knee). Well, it didn't heal properly, and the Vet basically said it was a 're-do'. We opted not to do this, again, to our dog.  He said there was a small chance that the scar tissue might stabilize the knee. We did Reiki on him, all winter and watched. It seemed that he would never be able to walk more than a short distant without sitting down from pain. Well, today, he went for a full walk with us, and never even slowed down! It's a true miracle! I'm so excited to start walking my dog again. The power of Reiki and 'intention' never ceases to amaze me.

Today, Brian and I drove around looking for properties to move Universal Healing into. Brian told me that he imagined a flat roofed building, in the morning, before we left. (This way, we would have the option to put a second floor on it.) It's interesting, because we found a property that we liked, that had a flat roof. It also had a loading dock. I saw another building I liked, that  had a loading dock. Neither of these buildings appeared to be industrial or warehouse-like. I wonder if that will be a final quality of the place we find? Odd coincidence...

I feel like April 14-16th will provide some kind of insight as to the direction we will move towards. Until then, I'm busy revamping my website, and writing new workshops. It's an exciting time right now!
