fires of redemption

Deep in the depths of the shallows of the mind 
we find our perceptions awry with visions and misconceptions of the past, 
taking that one last gasping breath before heading into the mire of the pile, 
the masses of misunderstanding and fog of unforgiveness, 
those false notions, or memories distorted, shown through one's filters 
processing out that which you are not ready for...

Ready yet?

So just tilt the filter to the side for just a brief instant and come with me...

Feel the pulsation of the vibrations of energetic light flow 
through the veins of the space 
between the cracks of the veil as the way is made clear
for an instant you can now be self reflective, 
you can now see those patterns of painful perceptions you cloud your perspective with...  

The puzzle of your psyche laid out before you in such as you can actually be objective, 
just for the moment anyway...

Don't look away, this part is important.  

That template of reality you have been playing your movie through is still a bit smudged and needs a good smudging to release those held attachments to those moments of agony, and those moments of joy need a good polish to rediscover the gratitude of each second, the graciousness with which we revere the infinite as we perceive those cracks in the maya of this illusive world.

Did you look away?  

I hope not.  If you did, just go back through it 
It's always there, as it was before.  
The cycle never ends. 
It can evolve, but only if you are ready...

Can you find the joy in agony's pocket, 
or the blessings among the curses?  

This redemption you seek is locked within your own mind, 
the key to your past and future is always within reach and sight, 
just beyond the edges of your view... 

it is always there waiting 
for you to open your eye 
and embrace the now...

Take a deep breath, and release into it...

That layer beyond the past and future, 
where all is possible and can manifest,

a fifth dimensional soup of possibilities, 
not clouded by held remorse or anxieties,

the field where all is able to be,

now...


Just be.

Emotional scars are like internal tattoos...

The tattoo parlor of the unconscious and subconscious mind is an interesting place to pick up some new ink...
















This lair of our mind holds all of those important events, whether positive or negative... 

It leaves its scars as tattoos on the psyche, shaping, altering and traumatizing our experience of the world. We hold our "tattoos" of trauma closely at the core of our perceptual filter for our lives.  The scars sit closely to those triggers which call us into patterns of accepted behaviors we have conditioned our lives to be.  Sometimes those scars become our comfort, they become our safe place when we need something to fall back on.

So what are these "trauma tattoos" that so many of our minds are covered in?

Events which create extreme stress and anxiety tend to imprint deeply in our persona.  These may be echoes of events from early on in life, or of events we experienced just yesterday.  The effect of these moments creates that anxiety and stress that permeates every aspect of our being.  With one little catalyst we can spiral into our behaviors and coping mechanisms as though we are right back there with the event, as though we never left it.  For soldiers, this is a common occurrence when they are engaged in battle. This has been called "shell shock,"combat stress reaction, battle fatigue, and now its most commonly referred to as post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.

These scars have trouble being released because they were not fully embraced, however difficult that may sound...

Letting go, while it seems like it should be easy, can be a very arduous task and this is especially true in cases of trauma. Think of it like a sink filled with dirty dishes.  Usually, you would just rinse off the dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher, letting go of their filth and releasing the attachment to the dirt that they have built up. The person with PTSD or with traumatic dramas has a damaged faucet and dishwasher. Their faucet won't wash off the dishes and now the gunk on the plates is caked all over the sides of the sink! This gunk just builds up and up sealing the unaltered sink. This sink is like your mind, with the grime being those painful scarring memories of your past.  You just can't seem to wash the pain or difficult memories away.

What we need here is something to get the painful memories to release, to let go of their hold on our psychological well-being.  

Ok, so here's the hard part, but it can be accomplished in a softer way...

We have to revisit those traumatic events in order to fully free ourselves of their grasp. Did just the mention of this idea send a shudder through you.  Don't worry,  we are going to do this as gently as possible, it will be tough though. 

Just as a good doctor will tell you to let the fever run its course, so it is with our mental disruptions as well.  We rob ourselves of the fullness of an experience when we recoil, or shut down, or become unconscious to what is transpiring. This compounds in our subconscious, creating a feeling of anxiety and distress when we remember the experience because we never let the difficulty and pain run its course in our emotional body.  Our body is naturally cathartic and will initiate its own fail safe as we process really hard events, but only if we can be aware of all of the emotions that arise.  This attention to the pain and discomfort lets it run its course just as a fever needs to.

So this can be really upsetting depending on what your stressor was...

What are some ways to diffuse or release the gunk that has clogged up our perception?

First things first, reliving and really acknowledging and embracing those difficult feelings will be hard to do, but it is truly vital.  Once they have been fully expressed they can be seen as what they are, emotions and feelings and nothing more.  They lose their power when the light of awareness comes upon them.  This awareness can be fostered using some Sedona Method work by asking yourself if you are able to let go of the held emotion or held attachments to the traumas.  Then you ask if you would be able to let go, thereby empowering your self confidence. Lastly you would simply ask when you will be able to let this go.  What this does is diffuse the emotional energy bomb attached to the trauma and makes it so that it can be released over time in a safe way.

Another way, still requiring some revisiting, but in a more muted way, involves going back to the event or events from a distance and keeping awareness on the event while you do EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as tapping.  This will send a vibration accompanied by intention statements and reframing statements to help shift the blockages caused by the held or trapped emotions.

Still another very powerful method involves hypnotherapy work where we go in and replay the trauma from a safe distance. We gently break through to become fully present and aware of it in order to diffuse the power we have given it to control our lives with fear, shame, guilt, or any of the other lower energetic emotions.  This still brings us back to it, but in a more distant way depending on the hypnotherapist or program they are working with.


These tattoos of our life experiences are just as permanent as our external ones.  

Taking the power out of their control over our emotional lives is how we can stop letting them control our perception of the world.  This will free our experience so we can grow and transform into our highest selves in this lifetime.

The memories may never fade, but the power we let them have over our lives is something you have the power to change...




What are you waiting for?

Light for your path...


Just be.

Falling away... to perfection.

Falling away from yourself you might find the hardest thing to release is your attachment to the release itself...


This letting go must be deliberate but must also be done with hubris.  We are all one and interconnected in this divine merging of spirit with form, with the all and nothing.  Falling away from the maya, or illusion, we merge with the oneness. Pure balance is in the center, chaos bringing a matrix of order perfect and flowing through each instant we release the previous moment in a constant renewal of experience...

The question asked then is, if we are constantly renewed and ever changing in the physical, how or why then do we retain our illnesses or our vices or our pain? Why can't we just choose a different alternative? Why can't we just be in a state of perpetual bliss and health?

What attachments to difficulty have we cultivated? Do you need to suffer to fully enjoy the joys of your experience?  Is the glow that much brighter with the contrast of misery? We choose this condition of duality so that we can fully embrace its interplay in our being as well. We must work to celebrate the beingness of joy

Which reality or state of consciousness do you accept as your perception? Can you acknowledge and embrace the pains so that the true power of wellness and echo through your soul?  


Your condition is a choice at every level of your being, no matter how horrific, so how can we find the message and lesson and hidden truths amidst the mire of the murky depths of depression and a fractured life? How can we dig ourselves out of this hole of pain and ignorance?

Can we even bring ourselves to recognize a choice to let go of our strife no matter though we may not have even caused it in the first place? If we can release the notion of separation with our consciousness and our physical being, a powerful shift can occur.


We can take control of our perception once we accept that we are in charge of it. 

Remember:

No one can make you angry without your permission. 


No one can make you happy without your permission. 



No one can make you sad without your permission.




We are in charge of our reality, so let's own it and grow to our true potential!


My new book, The Art of Falling, gives you tools and methods to release those painful parts of ourselves, so we can truly fall away from ourselves. This falling away brings to light all of the potential and all of those things we had buried beneath the trauma and pain from our lives.

It gives you the power to renew!

A light for your path...

Just be.

Into the flow...

Step into the divine that surrounds you.  Surrender to the vortex of light, slip into now...

Gently realize that this is all just a dream.  Once that spark is ignited, conscious control of all that is becomes a most precious tool for manifesting. Wake up to presence, to knowing peace as a perpetually repeating moment, always aware, always empathic...

To connect moments in time like strings of pearls with each making its mark and impression upon the soul...

I am. 

Reveling in presence, this now-ness engulfs my being washing the flow of time over my template for the next step in personal evolution one must relinquish the ties to the past and held expectation of the future...

Transformations form from the depth of the darkest moments, creating wholeness from the fractured scintillating pieces of peace swirling in the chaos quietly consuming the void of silence with the cacophony of everything all at once, in a flash you missed it, but here it comes again pulsing in conjunction with the passing of time...

Cyclical and patterned all is. Through a lense of uncertainty all is clear.  Sacred geometry extends from my being as these patterns attach to my consciousness in these waves of connection... Integrating the interconnected feelings to be in that flow state where the stars align and things just take form as you continue your journey towards enlightenment...

Elect Love and Peace!

What is really on the election ballot this year? 

Is our soul as a country really under this much constant combat that we are lost in the words as we miss the forest for the trees? How can we combat the incessant pull of idiocracy that is marring the image of our system across the world's theater?

What will it take for us to overcome this frightening image of what is to come for our country?  How many more moments of sheer racism and ignorance will we let manifest in our collective consciousness before we finally stand up and say enough is enough?


So what can you do now?  Who are you to be able to make a difference?

How can your voice be heard?  Does the election really matter?  Do we even have a voice?  The answer is yes, we do, and the election does matter, but our voice can only be heard and we can only make a difference if we stand up and stand together in love and peace.

This entire facade of an election process has created more fear, hatred, anger and shame than any of the past elections up until this point.  Just when we think it can't get any worse, it does and we see even more of how fragile this system is and how it is so mismanaged that those in charge most likely shouldn't be.  Yet we don't stand up together with one voice when they have so carefully marginalized our positions and our voices into sound bytes and scripted memes designed to distract us from the truth just behind the curtains...


Love and peace can save us?  


How so?  Are you just some wishy-washy hippy?  Well I am, but that is beside the point...

Love is one of the strongest attractors of the present moment of any of the emotions.  This means that it brings you into the present moment simply by focusing on it.  The heart chakra is the center of the plane of existence we call the present moment where the spiritual plane intermingles and blends with the physical world.  That which we hold in our heart center becomes real that much more quickly...

Peace is just as powerful so long as it is realized as its own process, and not the absence of war which reflects its energy out in a negative way as a polarity, which it need not be.  Peace should be seen as gratitude, or joy for simply being and gratefulness for what is in all its forms.


Stepping into an attitude of gratitude and love isn't the easiest process especially with all of the endless barrage of angry memes and perversions of what we call media and the news.  The easiest start to this process is to think of that which you hold most dear, a loved one, a pet, a happy memory that warms your soul when you think of it.  Calling in such an image evokes that joyful, loving feeling that can help you elevate your intentions and elevate your manifestations towards something more.  It will help you to guide your potential reality towards its highest good even in times such as these.  


How can we be grateful for such a debacle of our political system?  Let us find the silver lining hiding in this very dark and large storm cloud hanging over our country at the moment.  


What did we hope would happen?  Obviously it didn't play out how we liked, so what is the potential good in these developments?  What positivity can come from such horrid defacement of our governmental structure?  Even in the darkest night we can find stars to illumine our path, for light needs darkness to be fully appreciated...

We can let be what is, and send light and love and positive thoughts and energy to those places in the world that need our attention or help so that it can grow and flourish and facilitate new changes in the future.  We can look forward to what may still come in a loving and peaceful world in hopes that we can be catalysts for real change...

Holding our highest good for the universe and higher powers to protect us and keep us away from the negativity and evil that exists knowing that all is as it should be and that all will work out for the betterment of everyone.  Staying with these thought patterns and sending out feelings of gratitude and love for all that is and that all that is will create the highest good for all involved.  


Thoughts are energy and have power! 


Do not play into the fear and anger surrounding our nation. 

Let us "Face Everything And Rise" up as one people, for the future of our world!



Light for your path...


Just be.


Join me November 8th from 7pm-8pm for the Election Stress Release gathering at Wells Therapeutics as we work to manifest the highest good for our nation through meditations for manifesting and sound healing through crystal healing singing bowls, chanting and toning!

Momentary Illumination

Momentary Illumination

Feel the pulse of the flow as it courses through your veins…

Do you even know your own silence?  Do you appreciate your faults?

Do you want to see how the darkness illuminates the light? 

There is no now without here,

just as there is no dark without light,

this pulsation of truth eminates from the night

just as the light of the stars brings out the depths of the infinite vast void of space

as the galaxies swirl into existence around the destruction of the endlessly swirling black holes we fall into

as we expect an outcome from no effort

or a change without a preceding event to push it into being,

but being of what?

How do we become the nothing contained within the everything giving form to the formless, giving structure to the ethereal? 

How do we embrace the moment of uncertainty with total awareness without giving all of our vulnerability and trust to that which is fleeting, to that which has no shape? 

How can we know that this is it?  Do you?

Now.

This light that bursts forth from the deepest recesses of your soul

brings you back to this ever present moment,

this instant where all things are interconnected,

where the past falls away and the future doesn’t matter,

to the time where you simply are, and that is always enough,

Be in your moment,

it is always fleeting,

yet always there. 

Know that you are the infinity in that grain of sand, and that eternity in an hour and

revel in the chance to embrace the gratitude of all that is.

Just be.

Light for your path...

Falling into Now...

When we float on in this furvent rush of materialism as it forms before our eyes with each passing breath bringing you one step closer to knowing that fullness of letting go into the fall as the pulsaton of real merging with that which is not movea in and out of consciousness in streams of thought cascading down memories and past occuranves to feel into the fullness of the self and to be at home in perpetually foreign skin...
