Dearest Cheryl Lynne and Donald, Well, I'm still looking for that window when I can really take the time to thank you properly for the marvelous workshop -- but I just can't wait anymore, so improper thanks will have to do. For me there was great joy in simply being your student again, and in the magic of your presence, your instruction, and the day.  I was also tremendously grateful for the opportunity to honor you, my beloved teachers, by presenting Roy to you not as my honey or as a one-time participant in a special event, but as your proud, new student.  His joy in the workshop and the practice...

So many people have ideals as to what power is, how to go about getting it, and how to use it. The issue is that everyone is operating out of fear and pain. Personal power is associated with the 3rd chakra (major energy center in the body) or Manipura as it is actually called which means "the city of jewels". Herein lies the answer to many things because the 3rd chakra also governs self esteem, will power, and the ego. The organs of the body that are associated with this chakra are: solar plexus, abdomen, upper intestines, liver, gall bladder, stomach, kidney, pancreas, spleen, adrenal system, and middle spine. Physical ailments associated with it are: ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, heartburn, diabetes, diarrhea, indigestion, anorexia, bulimia, and hepatitis. The challenges associated with this chakra are: self-confidence, self-respect, competence and skills in the outer world, substance abuse, aggression, defensiveness, making decisions, and competitiveness.
With all the above being said, how many people do you know, especially at the companies you work for be "power trippin" or are "micro-managers" - the bullies of corporate America? How many people do you know that love confrontation or gotta be in control of everything? These type of people have an overactive or blown out chakra (meaning too much energy coming in that point of the body before they can properly transmute, circulate, and distribute it). What about people that are "yes" people who don't know how to say no which means that they are in a constant state of self-sacrifice because they are putting everyone's needs before their own. Then you have those individuals who don't speak their mind and suffer in silence. Others operate in a state of indecisiveness which is a reflection of one's self esteem.
All of the imbalances began with events, circumstances, and inherited beliefs from ancestors, past lives, and current events. The events and circumstances formed beliefs within that person which created a shift of energy into a lower level of conscious thinking called NEGATIVITY OR LIMITING BELIEFS. People with this energy generally do the things they do because they have allowed sources outside of themselves to define power and success for them, which in turn has effected their ego and self esteem - but this may have been damaged in the first place. Because thoughts and emotions are pure energy, it is important to note that all imbalances FIRST BEGIN in the energy bodies of the individual. When events or circumstances are not addressed in a manner where it helps the person to transform the experience and the energy related to that experience into a higher vibration, then the person struggles and eventually adapts to that change by incorporating coping mechanisms which they now accept as their true personality.
No matter who I am working on or what belief we are working on pulling from the subconscious mind, personal power issues always surface. The person doesn't come to me and say - hey I want to work on...

Awe, I invite you to take a deep breath with me.  Fill your lungs and breath out with a noise.  Choose to be in your own presence without interfearence.  I am not judging the way I...

A teachable moment can come at the most awkward time and reward you with endless engagements of joy and exhilaration. I liken it to a experiential exchange of facts, figures and ideals that can be shaped and fashioned into whatever you need or desire.  Make haste to explore the wonders of this sometimes elusive and always consuming connection to person, place or thing.  
One only has to recognize the need to acquire more knowledge as it is rooted in living on the planet daily and in order to live life to the fullest you must make the effort to acquire layers of information that intertwine...

 Old Method - New Era      Healing with  Touch,  Spiritual Aromatherapy, Anointing with Oils, Herbal Healing                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Laying on of hands, healing touch, Reiki, Herbal Healing, anointing with oils are all forms of healing from the past.  There are so many modern misconceptions, fears, negative thoughts about this ancient art.  Laying on of hands dates back to biblical times, the bible teaches us that Christ would lay his hands on a person and they were healed. Christ sent his disciples out with oils to anoint those in need of healing in the name of the Father.  His teaching, and that of the twelve disciples considered healing body, spirit, and soul as one unified process. Yet today many consider this healing art voodoo or new age.  Touching a sick person was not a sin, offering comfort and prayer in the name of the father was common, anointing with oil when illness is present was a natural method, using the plants as God has given was healing. Science has proven that without touch...

In our daily lives it is so easy to get triggered by others. But what is really happening? We get angry, upset at the other person for basically being who they are. Whether we are relating to our sweethearts, our bosses, or even someone cutting us off in traffic. We end up attaching ourselves to the fact that, for whatever reason, this person is not meeting our needs. While good to recognize when our needs are not being met, how do we keep from getting triggered and falling into a downward spiral of frustration, anger, blame, resentment, sadness etc.  
When we look at our triggers, they typically lead to events in the past..sometimes as far back as early childhood. When these events are never sent healing, then we walk around with them like guns in our holsters reacting to current situations and people inappropriately. Can we have...

 “Why me?  Why now?  Will it happen? Do I deserve it?  When?  Is this real?  Does everything happen for a reason?  Are we all connected?”  There are so many questions, all with a common thread; can we all connect to the “source”, the “universal energy”, the “all that is”.  “Do we all possess some type of intuitive awareness?  Can we find our intuition?”  The answer is YES! 
Not only do we want answers; we are a society that demands them.  “Can intuition be part of my current life?  What if...

For first time pendulum buyers shopping online can be tricky. One of my beginning students bought a very big metal pendulum online that was too heavy for her to work with. Though it did look very “cool” it was impractical for her to practice with and develop her skills.One method for finding your pendulum match:Look first; note which pendulums draw your attention. Pick up the ones you are drawn to, one at a time, and ask the pendulum 3 simple questions:Are you in service to the light?* *Light and dark both come from God / Source, and according to Hindu and Buddhist philosophy, are...

When the light shines forth and men gain in understanding of the true nature of themselves and their surroundings we will come to the realization that we are all expressions of the same life force. This force is not the form which we initially feel is our being. It is using that form in order to express its being. Gaining knowledge and understanding of this essential truth will naturally and gradually move the focus of our awareness (our purest expression of that essence) from the form to the underlying life force.
 
In our infancy our consciousness inhabits a very small world in its appearance. We have little awareness of anything outside of our families. We have little influence even within the small confines in which we find ourselves. Later, as we grow in our capacities to understand and interact our sphere of influence increases and we realize we are a part of a world much larger than we had understood. That whole world was always out there but we were unaware. We become associated with a group or community and a school with friends. In the best of circumstances we begin to include those other environing associates in our thinking and planning.
 
For many people the group never grows beyond that small community and for some they will only treat their family members well and the rest of humanity remains “outside the wire” so to speak and left to...
