What people say that feels GOOD...

My friend "A" copied me on an email she sent to her friend "B" recommending me to "B" as a RoHun Therapist. I think "A" describes her own RoHun experience neatly: 

 "...check out her web site to get more about RoHun and trust it's very personal and profound multi-dimensional healing..."

Wow, I think that's a fabulous recommendation, indeed!
P.S. The website mentioned is www.RoHun-HT.com or www.PerspectivesHolistic.com

2011... WHERE has the time gone???

I have been out of the 'loop' for the last year or so... I just realized that I have not posted anything for that year...

Life has been challenging and amazing and wonderful and difficult all at the same time.  So much has happened and I have changed so much... the world around me has changed so much as well...

I contemplate the changes within myself, the ways in which I have grown closer to the vision I had long ago which showed me what I was to be... then I had no clue about how I was to get to this place, now I see it in the periphery of my 'vision'.  What has changed?

I made a shift within myself when I attended the 10-day Vipassana Meditation Course - a VERY profound experience for me.


another big shift... I am the Pastor of the First Friday Healing Sanctuary in Virginia Beach where Healer volunteers and I  bring healing and comfort on all levels to those who attend.  I think that is the biggest thing of all, even tho' a thousand little things let up to it.

So many things have happened this past year...  As I write of my journey, they will come out.
Namaste.

Divine Mother Meditation

Zen and Knitting...

...or should I say, trying to knit with Zen in my lap. Zen is my cat and what she sees is a nice warm lap with a convenient 'blanket' for her to crawl into and under for a nap. Kind of hard to knit this way, tho'!

Carl Jung, I adore you!

I found this and I wanted to share it with you today!

Who looks inside, awakens.

Today's Epiphany...

With the help of a friend, I realize I often channel my inner Nimrod. You know, that voice that always mumbles in the back of your mind, using a verbal white glove on the bookshelf of your life. Well, when you channel it, that smeg comes out of your mouth and into your ears and the ears of anyone close enough to hear you... thus conceived are impressions and attitudes about who you are.

I Love Technology

I am going to be able to blog more often now. I do love my iPhone. This is my first post using that fabulous little piece of equipment and a free app.

Oh, My Soul I Love You!

Oh, My Soul I Love You!

By Linda Carol Adrienne, PhD
(Published in the Delphi Healing Arts Journal - June 2009)

One day while I was meditating, I had a profound and life enhancing experience. I wanted to share part of this experience because it was so beautiful and it touched me so deeply. I thought that maybe it would touch you too. As you read my words, try to visualize them, let them resonate within you and call forth your own Desire and Devotion. I relate it to you in the present tense for this reason. Perhaps it will spark your creativity and light the fire of your inspiration.

As I journey in my meditation, I come upon a crystal podium. I walk over to this sparkling pedestal and see that there is a book upon it. I begin to read the book and realize that it is the story of my life from the perspective of an observer who is evaluating the learning processes of a prodigy. I am amazed at the beautiful things that are written there about me and what I am doing with my life. As I read, I begin to feel very good about my life in general and myself specifically. I take on a deeper certainty that I am "in the right place, at the right time, for the right reason". I feel as if I am fueled by what I have read, like a fire in the presence of pure oxygen. I just know that if I were to look at myself in a mirror, I would see that I am made completely of light and glowing as brightly as the sun.

I turn the pages of the book and I know, I KNOW... everything and nothing, the truth beyond words about who I AM. It feels like a new level of confidence, a certainty of the meaning of Spirit in my life. A rush of comforting warmth washes over me as if in confirmation. Eagerly I turn to the very last page of the book, or I try to, and I realize that part is not written yet. Even so, I smile because I have a knowing, an understanding about the Journey and the Final Destination. As this insight fills my heart, I hear someone call my name, and I walk toward where I think the call came from. After a bit, I come upon a fountain before a beautiful building, and I realize that this building is my Temple Within. When I see the Temple, I know it is my Higher Self calling to me.

I walk slowly to the Temple entrance, then enter and approach the altar where I sit in Lotus position. I breathe deeply to fan the flame of my Core Star and consciously use my Inner Light to illuminate the Temple. I just know this is what I am supposed to do here. As I follow this guidance, I hear/feel following words:

In Joyous and Utter Abandon,
I throw wide the doors of my Temple,
exposing the innermost regions of my Soul,
at last understanding the Why of The Journey.


As I breathe into life the flame of my Core Star,
illuminating the spaces within,
I hear the call of the Golden One,
and offer up my Self to the Oneness.


All that I am, all came from You.
All that I am, I give to You.
I spread my devotion before You,
freeing its golden radiance in Your Presence.


All that I am, all that I shall ever be,
I use in service to You,
as I stand before Your altar,
in this place which is the World,
where all Humanity dwells.


Dear One, I know Myself through You.
I know the purest Love
and the sweetest Peace,
as I realize that the Earth is Your Temple,
all life is Your Congregation,
and I am Your Emissary.

Amen.

At this point, I opened my eyes, for there was nothing more to see or hear and the meditation was indeed complete.

Will wonders never cease... I have sisters!

Yesterday, 9.22.2008, my 1/2 sister called me and what she told me blew my mind. I have another sister, maybe even a full sister and another adopted sister (actually cousin) that I did not even know existed. I am in shock. Unfortunately they live on the other side of the country or I would be in my car this minute!!!!! I also have 2 cousins on the east coast, but I haven't heard from them yet. All women, how about that?!?!?!? I go from having no real relatives, much less female ones, to a 1/2 sister and now more, all in a few short months.

The Universe is a Fabulous place and I have an amazing Life in it!

From what they have said, we have a lot in common and I am very much like our mother...

Namaste and AMEN Hallelujah!

Out of the Closet with my Creativity

I have come out in the open with my "Fiber Fetish" and guess what? I walked right into a crowd! (grin) All of the craftier arts seem to be more popular than ever, especially things to do with fiber.

Knitting, crocheting, quilting, spinning and even tatting and lace making are part of a huge profitable industry. I know I love it and I love doing it with friends. What a great community rediscovered... and now it includes men too! How cool is THAT!?! I have also discovered that I have a passion for knitting lace... mmmmm. The only problem with this is that lace shawls aren't usually very quick projects (sigh)... oh well, that will not deter me, I just have several going at once of all levels of difficulty.

From the Rev. Dr in me comes the fact that this kind of "work" taps into the less analytical, more creative parts of our brains. This , I believe, is where higher spiritual thought occurs and as a result of this explosion of creative activity, a higher level of spiritual awareness is knitting us all together! What a beautiful way to seek enlightenment! (pun intended - grin)

Quirky Morning Thoughts...

Affirmations

I feel worthy, and it feels good!

I am free to love & be loved and I free everyone else!

I am free to love myself without fear!

Message

"You will meet someone soon who will offer you a wonderful opportunity."

Last week at a Chinese restaurant a fortune cookie said something very similar to the message....

Ooooooooo… Do Do do do Do Do do do…{poor imitation of the Twilight Zone theme} that fortune cookie is one of those things that make me go Hmmmmmmmm… I love it!

Obviously, I am feeling playful today. Have a fabulous day, my dears! Remember… look for evidence of your healing and your wholeness and you will find it. We will always find whatever we look for, so if we are sincerely dedicated to our own wholeness and healing, then we must first seek it out within ourselves. Once we do that, we can find it also in the world.

Happy New Year!

Wow, a new year with a plethora of fabulous opportunities! Do you have this thought for yourself? A life lived in a state of upliftment and an attitude of gratitude will be full of wonder. If life is lived in the opposite manner, it can only be filled with depression and sadness... I know which one I choose! How about you?

Take note of your thoughts and where your musings lead you, emotionally. Do you feel empowered and good about yourself, or just hopeless and depressed? If you can truly understand that how you think and feel is totally your own choice, then you are free to choose the good stuff!

As Mike Dooley says: "Thoughts are things, choose the good ones!"

Until next time... Namaste

so today is the day...

So today is the day after my birthday and it is just as fabulous as my birthday was. I am very grateful for my life!
