  • I Pick Qi Gong…For Now

    Here we go, 2021!

    Another new year is upon us, and with it will come more challenges. I don’t use this platform to discuss the views of the world, because I think we get enough of that in other areas. My goal here is to focus on our inner work.

    You got it. Starting in 2021, I will be sharing my continued spiritual journey.

    There are those who might scoff at this idea, but I believe we are coming into a time where we will all need to raise our vibration. We were reminded in October, that we are all energy. We are born into our bodies, energy that has always existed, yet has changed forms many times throughout our third dimensional reality. I know some of you don’t subscribe to this idea. That’s okay. But please be respectful of those who wish to read this, in your comments.

    So, expanding on the idea that energy can’t be created or destroyed, we realize that we must have always existed in some form. Whether it be in this space/time/dimension, or some another field.

    Taking the idea of energy a bit further. We know our thoughts are also energy. Let’s consider for a moment that energy, vibration, and frequency are the keys to the universe. If that statement is true, then we are ruled by these keys. Knowing that we are energy, it stands to reason that when we think we are emitting energy called thoughts. Those thoughts or energy is released into the universe as soon s we think them.

    If we think the same though over and over, then we will attract that energy.

    So this year I’m going to focus on thinking about what I want my life to be. Not what is was in the past. No more looking in the rear view mirror. From now on, we look ahead, while focusing on and living in the present.

    One of the ways we can do this is by focusing on us. I don’t mean that in a selfish way. I mean it in the sense that we need to listen to our bodies. We need to remember who we are, who were meant to be, who we’ve always been. We have been living in a state of amnesia. In more than one way.

    It’s time to wake up. In focusing on our self, we will reveal our true nature by healing our trauma. Whether it be trauma from childhood, or past lives. Or even our family lineage. By healing our wounds, we will awaken our soul self and remember true love.

    So, this month I began this journey by choosing a modality of exercise. You can choose whatever resonates with you. Running, yoga, take a spin class, walking, biking. There are many options. I’m going to begin with Qi Gong. I find it easy to connect to myself, to listen and understand. I focus on the energy as I move and breathe. By focusing on each movement I am living in the now and “feeling” present.

    In addition to that I’m going to spend more time focusing and using the Ayurvedic principals to balance body, mind, and soul. Ayurveda has opened my eyes to a completely different way of looking at how we eat, think, and pray. I will be incorporating more information related to Ayurveda in these posts, so as to share what I learn with you. We can never learn too much.

    I will start with that, for now. We’ll see how I do.

  • Looking in The Rear View Mirror

    We’re coming up on a new year. Many people watch as the years pass away, without considering any aspect of what lessons were presented in during that time.

    With everything going on in the world right now, It makes me wonder. Why are we here?

    Well, I’ve asked that question, many times throughout my life. Often times I’m stumped. I’m hard pressed to find the answer. We are born, we live, and we die. So, what happens to us during the long period of time while we are living?

    The first thing that comes to mind, now, is slaving away for those who control everything. Outside of that, though, there must be time that we enjoy. If not we need to make a conscious effort to change that.

    As I look forward to the new year, I will make more of an effort to “live” my life. I will focus more on the positive and less on the negative.

    Many things have changed for me this year. My relationships, my health, and my ability to be happy, to name a few. All of these changes have presented me with challenges. But they have also allowed me the opportunity to grow, and to learn about myself, and also, who I want to be.

    So, I hope you will join me as I move into the next year with joy and gratitude. In the mean time, I hope you all have a merry Christmas (or happy holidays however that looks for you).

  • Healing Energy

    Living with Hashimoto’s has it’s challenges. While I learned early on what I needed to eliminate from my diet, I’ve had moments where I missed something.

    But time is an excellent healer. I sense healing throughout my body. My weight has remained consistent, even though I’ve introduced most natural foods back into my diet. The nodules on my thyroid are gone. I have energy and can still focus.

    I try to only eat food I prepare. Unfortunately sometimes my schedule isn’t conducive to meal preparation. On occasion I have purchased a box of crackers or other snack that indicates it’s soy free. Only to find out that in fine print the product was processed in a plant that process soy.

    My body knows. The reaction is temporary. But it’s inconvenient.

    In addition to the lessons I learned early on, about how to clean up my diet, I’ve also learned that sometime even good food isn’t good for me. This lesson learned through the practice of Ayurveda. Which teaches the balance of mind, body and spirit or soul. I’ve learned much about this practice, which I will be sharing with you as time passes.

    Life is getting better. I don’t have to be so strict with whole foods, as I did early on. I feel healing. Some people may believe that once your body is damaged, it can’t be fixed. I believe the opposite.

    I’ve introduced into my life the idea that we are all energy. I’m learning more about our matrix and how we’ve been tricked to believe everything we’ve been told about health. Those who have control over medicine, media and education are doing their best to brainwash us to believe we must do as they say to be healthy. When in reality their goal is to make us sick and more dependent on their drugs. Putting humanity into a tailspin where we crash in poverty. Draining our resources and leaving us with nothing.

    After researching and studying the mechanics of the human body, our cellular make up, and the polarity we experience, I’ve come to realize that through science, the statement is accurate. We are all energy. And energy can neither be created or destroyed. It can only be transformed. Nikola Tesla knew this.

    So, if the energy that is our thyroid can manifest Hashimoto’s, it can certainly transform that negative energy that manifests as Hashimoto’s, to a healthy thyroid. I believe that is why I’ve been able to live without medication. I believe my thyroid is healthy. So it is.

    I’m going to post more on how our energy, which is influenced by the environment and our thoughts can manifest in our bodies to either create dis-ease or to heal it.

    This life is a wild ride. it’s lessons have taught me much about myself, and the world we live in. I’m sure there are many more ways I will learn about not only myself, but of the world that has hidden so much from me.

  • Healthy Relationships

    In 2017 I met a wonderful group of ladies. We connected through a online group that promoted the lesson of miraculous living. At the time I had no idea where the lesson would lead.

    Today, I realize the best miracle is the miracle of friendship. We met in 2017. It’s now 2020, and we continue to connect every Wednesday on Zoom. We make a point to discuss the positive things that have occurred during the week. We support each other in prayer by offering up those intentions that we each need to see in our lives.

    I’ve come to realize that we can spend a lifetime surrounded by people, yet we may never really make connections. And in a flash, there are those who are drawn to each other through space and time to connect on a level so deep, it is a though they share energy. These ladies are those who I feel a connection that helps me to be the best me, I can be. I hope I offer the same to each of them.

    I mention this connection because I know how lonely life can be. I remember sitting in my house, watching movies or reading. All while being alone. Yes I’m married, but that relationship is not true. I don’t say that to talk bad about my spouse, but to share the idea that sometimes even those who are supposed to be our “best friend” end up being strangers we live with. Those are things we all need to work through. Things we all need to come to terms with and resolve.

    Part of healing from trauma is recognizing when things in our life aren’t right. Yes, there are always signs, but often times we push away those signs because it’s too uncomfortable to address them.

    I look back on my diagnosis of Hashimotos, and through fresh eyes see another side to why I manifested it. Yes, on a subconscious level, I manifested it. Let me explain.

    I’ve always been someone who wants to help others. Often times to my detriment. I never say “no” to anyone. I never tell anyone how I feel, or what I need. Now I know it’s because my throat chakra has been blocked. This block manifested in the form of a thyroid condition. This condition would require medication for the rest of my life.

    Thankfully I was smart enough, awake enough to know that the pharmaceutical industry didn’t have our best interest at heart. You know the rest of that story.

    My situation, where I was alone and didn’t share what I needed, where I had no friends, caused my body to react. In my determination to heal myself, I found my peeps. They may not be local, but they are there for me, and I’m there for them. We meet over tea once a week and connect daily, sometimes through a private Facebook group. They have helped me grow and learn more about who I am, and helped me to realize my dreams. I’m grateful for each of them.

    If you’re in a place where you feel lonely and have no one to confide in, remember, there is always hope. When you need it most, and you’re open and willing to receive, you will make those connections. Keep leaning in to the healing process.
