ThetaHealing

an attainable miracle for your life

Basic

The Basic DNA2 ThetaHealing® 3-day workshop teaches the student how to connect to (Creator of All That Is / Source Energy / God / Allah / whomever is your Highest Power) on the Seventh Plane of Existence through a meditative process. By accessing the God Power and going deep into Theta brain waves, the practitioner can then do intuitive body scans, readings, teachings, downloads of feelings, healings, belief work, and clearings. You are taught about each of the Seven Planes, and how to do Angelic connections, Guide connections, reclaim soul fragments, DNA reconnections, clearing of radiation, genetic corrections, group healings, distant healing techniques, over-the-phone techniques, develop and enrich your psychic abilities, manifest your deepest desires, and experience unconditional love moving through your body, healing as it goes.

Energy Testing is taught and, using those techniques, we can learn where these outworn beliefs are residing, whether it is on the Core, Genetic, History, or Soul level and request a clearing and balancing from there. You will also learn how to do ‘feelings downloads’ so that your client will have access to feelings they’ve never experienced before. A powerful healing occurs as a result of this alone.

You will be given the book “ThetaHealing” and the accompanying manual. At the end of this three-day seminar, you will be a Basic Practitioner of ThetaHealing. All participants receive an official certificate. Photos will be taken at this graduation ceremony.

There are no pre-requisites for this course. I ask that you bring an open mind, a willingness to learn and to heal, as well as a belief in a Power greater than yourself, no matter what you call it.

Venue: 20 minutes from Vancouver in Coquitlam; exact location is dependent upon the number of students.

Advanced

The Advanced DNA ThetaHealing™ Course teaches you more about the Seven Planes of Existence. We will go deeper into the three R’s of regret, resentment, and rejection. We will connect to a plant, an ancestor, non-organic matter, send healing to an animal, and to our Higher Self. You will be released from past oaths, vows, promises, commitments, and other negative ties and cords that bind you. You will experience multiple downloads of feelings and teachings from Creator, which will illuminate and heal you on many levels. You will have more head space for creative and productive projects and thoughts that are constructive rather than always thinking and running the same old programs. You will learn how to ‘dig’ for the underlying belief that supports multiple other levels of belief; and when that one goes, they all go. You will learn how to clear free-floating memories, send love to the ‘baby in the womb’, heal a broken soul, speak to and ask questions of the Higher Self, and heal from several planes at once. We are always reminded that ‘if healing happens, it happens through us not by us’. The Creator of All That Is is doing the healing.

The book Advanced ThetaHealing and a complete manual are supplied. At the end of this three-day seminar, you will be an Advanced Practitioner of ThetaHealing. All participants receive an official certificate. Photos will be taken at this graduation ceremony.

Manifesting & Abundance
This course is divided into two parts:
1. Finding your blocks to success, abundance, prosperity
2. Retraining your mind to be focused on the goals you have set for yourself for you highest and best.
This 2-day workshop teaches you how to create the life you really want. Discover that money is just energy and that lack is more about our beliefs than it is about money. We will work through a 100-point questionnaire to pin-point exactly which beliefs are blocking your success, money, prosperity, and abundance. Discover how to manifest from the Seventh Plane while in a Theta state; Bending Time, Divine Timing; Remembering Your Future; Clear your home and property of dense energies; Create Your Future From the Seventh Plane; and Bless Your Money. There will be more downloads about money and success. We can Manifest and Create a Future without past fears. This class is designed to teach you how to use the Theta brainwave in the highest way to ensure your success. Gratitude is the key to this process. Join us and let’s make 2012 your year to shine!

Soul Power

2011-05-11T10:37:00.000-07:00

May 10th is World Lupus Day.
Support Julian Lennon and the Lupus Foundation
Thank you.

The trees haven't broken, they bend in the wind.

And the gulls haven't crashed to the sea.

And the waves that have run along gold sandy shores

Will continued for eternity.

While I, and my love, sit in contented peace

Amidst passions of water, earth, air.

We watch our own fireball sink out of site,

Aware that we both really care.

About all life that graces this planet called Earth,
Fellow mammals, and fishes, and birds.
As he tries to capture it, pencil to sketch pad,

I try to write it in words.

All the love that is in us to give out to other

Will always come back to us.

For the living and laughter, the joys and the tears,

Love of family and friendships, and trust.

It is out there, just waiting, for us to enjoy.
So remember to bend like the tree.

And fly like a seagull, then soar like a kite;

And be powerful, just like the sea.

Please respect this.

Prayer for the People

2011-03-15T07:16:00.000-07:00

As energies shift and change on the planet it causes stresses in the plates, which then shift as well. As these plates move into a different alignment, it shows us the energy we need to move into - malleable - capable of being honed and shaped without breaking. This is reflected in our personal lives and lives of all we know. There is a real shake-down going on in the world. People are waking up. People are passing beyond the veil to prepare our world on the energy level. This has certainly been evident in our life as our relationships change and morph into something other than what they were, and as people, young and elder, pass away; people that seemed would be together for always are divorcing. The most unlikely people are getting together. Something is afoot.

We cannot know all that is happening as it is far beyond our finite mind. We can, however, move into our Spirit and willingly make the shifts required within us. We can do this through prayer and meditation, by quieting our minds, by reaching out to those who need our help, by reaching out to others for help, and by stepping into our Light. 'We are greater than we know.' There is an acronym for this line of thinking - WAG - willingness, action, gratitude.

We create the story of our lives so we can live on this world ie: wife, husband, father, mother, grandma, grandpa, healing facilitator, drafts person, friend, and so on, then live out those scripts as best we can, becoming completely involved in the illusion that we call 'my life'. Entanglement and confusion arise from this behaviour. When we hang on too tightly by our own personal story, we can become terribly hurt by it.

We need to let go of the reigns and give them back to the Creator Of All That Is. That is where our Power comes from. We need to always remember that it is our Spirit within us that animates our flesh and bones, and that IT is the survivor in all of this. The only lesson that is ever learned is the lesson of Love. The only question we need to ask ourselves is - did I do that with Love?

Over this last weekend and every day for as long as it takes, we send Healing Rays of Love and Light in the situation in Japan, and continue to do so for Lybia, Iran, and everywhere that people are suffering.

It is our prayer that all who suffer will know peace and all who hate and fear will move into a state of Love.

Please join us daily, at whatever time is right for you, in prayer and meditation, with the purpose of sending Rays of Love and Light to all who suffer.

If you believe in Angels, please invoke the power of Archangel Michael in the North, Archangel Uriel in the East, Archangel Gabriel in the South, and Archangel Raphael in the West for our highest good.

If you do Shamanic work and use a Medicine Wheel, please burn Sweetgrass in the North, Indian Tobacco in the East, White Sage in the South, and Cedar in the West for our highest good.

Thank you for your part in this worldwide healing ceremony.

Warmly, Lyn and Norman Ayre

Clutter Clouds Clarity

2010-09-06T08:47:00.000-07:00

When we live with clutter, our focus is diffused – a little bit over here; a little bit over there. This diverts the energy and attention that we could be putting into our intention and actions, manifesting that which we desire and/or need in our lives.

When we look around us at that which is broken, unfinished, unused, unwanted, and unloved, we feel overwhelmed by it all, which sets in a feeling of inertia and depression.

When we clear clutter, both literally and figuratively, the mind is freed, the heart is lightened, and a cool refreshing breeze sweeps through our homes and our heads allowing us to feel lighter and brighter than before. We can then bring all of ourselves to the task at had.

In Feng Shui, there are five elements; and the way these elements are arranged in a room accounts for a prosperous flow of environmental Ch’i, or not.

In 2005, when Norm was building the healing centre, I was out buying ‘stuff’ for it. This was all piled up in bags in the corner of the office, and some of it was dispersed around the house.
The minute he said the centre was open, I began gratefully placing these items around the healing room and then did a cleansing on the room, opening the Aura Wellness Centre with a special ritual.

Moving these items resulted in ‘odd open spaces’ about the house. There was one of these odd spaces at the front door where the fountain had been. I put a plant there to even out the design. Although it looked good, it had a devastating effect on my business and on abundance in general.
Where I had been getting several clients and students calling or coming each week, I had none. It was shocking. Here we had just opened our special healing room and no one was coming! What was going on?

A week later, I received my Feng Shui course and began to work through it. I was reviewing a chart in the manual that literally galvanized me into action.

The Creative Cycle of the Five Elements: Water (north) nourishes Wood (west), which fuels Fire (south), which creates Earth (centre), which houses Metal (east), which holds Water. So, if you place a water element in the north of your home, that will hold the space and allow fresh Ch’i to come in. When I took away the fountain (water) and put a plant there (wood) it effectively ‘dammed’ the flow of incoming Ch’i.

There was an easy fix but my husband thought I’d gone mad indeed! When I realized what I had done, I quickly went around the room and fixed all the elements, as well as putting back the fountain, which I'd made at a pottery class, at the front door.

Within 90 minutes of this exercise, the phone started ringing. This was at nine o’clock at night. By bedtime, I’d booked all three levels of Reiki, a group of four students for EFT, and a crystal student. That was Easter weekend and we had gone out to eat a family and friend’s both nights. Each time, we had ham and the hostess sent us home with the hambone to make soup – abundance. I’d hired a neighbour to make eight more pairs of knitted booties (my students love to wear these on their feet. It always reminds them of their Mom or Grandma or the like, hence putting them at ease right away.) – more abundance.

This kept on going for nine (9 is the number of completion) days. Amazing. This was my firsthand lesson in how wonderfully valid Feng Shui is. I still feel the same way about it today.

Our brainwaves add dimension to our lives in the following ways:

2010-08-01T21:14:00.001-07:00

Gamma brainwaves (31-120 cycles per second) allow us to learn and retain at a very high level, offering us a creative platform for self-expression through the arts, whether in acrylics or applied sciences.

Beta brainwaves (13-30 cycles per second) allow us to be social and communicative with those about us. We are completely in our awareness as the conscious mind is fully employed and empowered to master the task at hand.

Alpha brainwaves (8-12 cycles per second) instil peace of mind and allow us to mentally slow down and relax our mind, giving it some well-deserved time off. We can take a mini vacation via meditation and slow deep breathing, which can reset our body and induce a sense of well-being.

Theta brainwaves (4-7 cycles per second) provide deep and permanent healing for the body, mind, and spirit, as we connect to the Creator of all that is and allow that energy to clear away the debris of years of self-neglect, outworn belief systems, and fears/phobias. We’ve now entered that beautiful dream space between wakefulness and being asleep, where all things are possible.

Delta brainwave (.5-3 cycles per second) induces a deep dreamless sleep while the body completely regenerates and all the cells have a chance to focus on their various jobs.

The Power of Words & Thoughts

2010-05-12T16:19:00.000-07:00

Yoda

"Do or do not do. There is no `try'." Yoda

You can demonstrate this by asking someone to `try' to pick up a bottle of water (or whatever is in front of them). When they pick it up say, "No, no, you actually picked it up. Put it down. Now, just `try' to pick it up." After a few seconds of them just sitting there doing nothing and looking quite puzzled say, "Okay, now you're deciding to not pick it up. Just `try' to pick it up." The light bulb goes on and the grin stretches across his or her face in recognition of the truth. There is no `try'. I've enjoyed doing and seeing this process hundreds of times over the years and it always gets that message in.

Henry Ford

"If you think you can or you think you can't, you are right." Henry Ford

By our thoughts, words, and deeds, we predict our own future because they are energy and we are energy. Our thoughts, words, and deeds create substance. If our thinking is not in line with want we want to produce in our lives, it will not come to pass. You cannot create house plans until you first envision the house you want to create. By lining up our thoughts, words, and deeds, we make a path to the thing that we want to manifest.

Teal Shoes

Some people say, "Oh, that just kills me." How about thrills me, if it's wonderful; or chills me, if it's not? Instead of saying, "That is to die for." what about, "That is to live for." Some people `die' for their children and many `die' serving their country, but who dies for a fudge brownie or a pair of teal blue shoes? And, why would you want to lay down your life for those things?

Macrophage (white blood cell) under the electron microscope

When we talk about `my cancer' and `my MS', we are owning the energy of that dis-ease in our body. Better to say `the cancer', `the chemo', `the MS' to distance ourselves from a deadly force and take back control of our lives. When we empower ourselves to make choices, we instill a sense of freedom within us. We speak about the `war on cancer', `the war on obesity', or the `war on aids'. There are so many `wars' going on all around us. My question is, "Why should we invite that energy in through our language?" We talk about sending our white cells in to `seek and destroy the invaders in our blood'. There is a great deal of violence in these common statements. Perhaps we could shift that energy by saying "We want to harmonize the dense energies within us by sending them Light and Love."

Kill Time

I heard a friend say the other day, "We had a few hours to kill so we decided to hit the mall." We say this sort of thing all the time. Why do we want to `kill' hours or `hit' the mall? We both noticed what she'd said and thought of a way to change it by saying, "We had a few more hours to share before we had to go so we went to the mall."

Becoming aware of our thoughts and self-talk, including the `things we say just in passing', will make a real difference in our lives.

The Seven Planes

2009-11-22T09:05:00.001-08:00

“The Seven Planes” is a model of the Universe created by Vianna Stibal, founder of ThetaHealing TM. There have been many models created over millennia however this is one that I can truly understand. My comments below are from the only point of view I have – Mine.

The model of the Seven Planes speaks to a journey from deep within Mother Earth Gaia to the outermost regions of the Universe. Each of us is a hologram of that model, from the minerals that make up our bones to the Spirit that activates and animates us so it is truly an inner journey we are taking when we follow the roadmap to the seventh plane.

I personally found it interesting to note where I was currently doing my work. What I noticed was, I was only missing one plane; the Seventh Plane. I was already doing energy healing and working within all the other planes. ThetaHealing TM has tied together all of my previous learning into a cohesive whole.

Follows is some information on these seven planes. I heartily recommend the book “Advanced ThetaHealing” by Vianna Stibal.

First — the Plane of Mother Earth; non-organic; minerals, crystals, soil; earth-based healing; bend spoons; metal work; pottery; telekinesis; Crystal Healing.

Second — the Plane of trees; plants; organic; vitamins; plant spirits; elementals; earth/air spirits. Herbalism; Aromatherapy; Natural Perfumery; plant-based healing.

Third — the Plane of humanity and the reality we have created; proteins; animals; time; wayward spirits exist between the third and fourth plane. Coaching; Counseling; person to person contact.

Fourth — the Plane of our ancestors; carbohydrates; spirit world; shape shifters; animal totems; no time; and the powerful Master Shamans. Shamanic Healing.

Fifth — the Plane of guardian angels; spirit guides; dark spirits; lipids; dualism; ego; fear; the astral-plane; psychic surgery; Reiki and other Energy Healing.

Sixth — the Plane of The Laws: Magnetism, Gravity, Light & Sound; Cause & Effect: Conservation of Energy; nucleic acid; numbers; tones; geometrical shapes; Astrology; Numerology; Akashic Record Reading; Sacred Geometry; Sound Healing.

Seventh — the Plane of the Creator All That Is; ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate-an adenine nucleotide bound to three phosphates, manufactured in the mitochondria) is the body’s most important molecule, from an energy producing standpoint; for the highest manifesting; instant healings; and doing readings. Pure Energy; perfect health; Connect first to the Seventh Plane then go back and do your healings from the other planes. Safety/Love/Light; ThetaHealing TM

I hope you’ve found my explanation gives you a level of understanding and makes you more comfortable thinking in these terms.

ThetaHealing™ Manifesting & Abundance Course

2009-11-22T08:36:00.000-08:00

The Manifesting & Abundance ThetaHealing™ Course teaches you how to create the life you really want. You will learn that money is just energy and that lack is more about our beliefs than it is about money.

I always tell my clients, ‘You are living the life of your dreams and have created everything in your life through your thoughts, words, and deeds. If you don’t like your life, dream another dream.’ We literally manifest everything in our lives. The process of accessing your deepest desires via a questionnaire, then employing energy testing techniques to fine-tune the picture, will give you tools to find out what is blocking you and thus the ability to unblock yourself.

You will learn how to manifest from the Seventh Plane while in a Theta state, for the highest good of yourself and others. You will learn about Divine Timing, Remembering Your Future, Seeing Your Future, Create Your Future From the Seventh Plane, and how to Bless Your Money. You will learn how to create an action plan and set intentions around manifesting and abundance.

At the end of this two-day seminar, you will be certified in Manifesting & Abundance. All participants receive an official certificate. Photos will be taken at this graduation ceremony.

It is asked that the participants refrain from using commercial synthetic perfumes and strongly scented bath and beauty products ie: hairspray.

The pre-requisite for this course is the Basic DNA Course and the Advanced DNA Course.

Venue: Coquitlam; exact location is dependent upon the number of students. If there are eight students, we can meet at Academy of Energy Healing. If there are more than eight, there are two hotels close by that have large meeting rooms.

Please ensure Registration at least two weeks in advance so we can determine a place.

Financial Investment: $475.00; A non-refundable deposit of $150.00 is required to hold your place in the class. If you cannot attend this class, your deposit can be used towards the next Manifesting & Abundance Course.

Watch for the Early Bird Date to pay in full and receive a 10% discount, which brings the tuition down to $427.50

ThetaHealing™ Advanced DNA Course

2009-11-22T08:20:00.000-08:00

The Advanced DNA ThetaHealing™ Course teaches you more about the Seven Planes of Existence. We will go deeper into the three R’s of regret, resentment, and rejection. We will connect to a plant, an ancestor, non-organic matter, send healing to an animal, and to our Higher Self. You will be released from past oaths, vows, promises, commitments, and other negative ties and cords that bind you. You will experience multiple downloads of feelings and teachings from Creator, which will illuminate and heal you on many levels. You will have more head space for creative and productive projects and thoughts that are constructive rather than always thinking and running the same old programs. You will learn how to ‘dig’ for the underlying belief that supports multiple other levels of belief; and when that one goes, they all go. You will learn how to clear free-floating memories, send love to the ‘baby in the womb’, heal a broken soul, speak to and ask questions of the Higher Self, and heal from several planes at once. We are always reminded that ‘if healing happens, it happens through us not by us’. God is doing the healing.

At the end of this three-day seminar, you will be an Advanced Practitioner of ThetaHealing. All participants receive an official certificate. Photos will be taken at this graduation ceremony.

It is asked that the participants refrain from using commercial synthetic perfumes and strongly scented bath and beauty products ie: hairspray.

ThetaHealing™ Basic DNA2 Course

2009-11-22T08:02:00.000-08:00

The Basic DNA2 ThetaHealing™ Course teaches the student how to connect to (Creator of All That Is / Source Energy / God / Allah / whomever is your Highest Power) on the Seventh Plane of Existence through a meditative process.

By accessing the God Power and going deep into Theta brain waves, the practitioner can then do intuitive body scans, readings, teachings, downloads of feelings, healings, belief work, and clearings. You are taught about each of the seven planes, and how to do Angelic connections, Guide connections, reclaim soul fragments, DNA reconnections, clearing of radiation, genetic corrections, group healings, distant healing techniques, over-the-phone techniques, develop and enrich your psychic abilities, manifest your deepest desires, and experience unconditional love moving through your body, healing as it goes.

Energy Testing is taught and, using those techniques, we can learn where these outworn beliefs are residing, whether it be on the Core, Genetic, History, or Soul level and request a clearing from there. You will also learn how to do ‘feelings downloads’ so that your client will have access to feelings they’ve never experienced before. A powerful healing occurs as a result of this alone.

At the end of this three-day seminar, you will be a Basic Practitioner of ThetaHealing. All participants receive an official certificate. Photos will be taken at this graduation ceremony.

It is asked that the participants refrain from using commercial synthetic perfumes and strongly scented bath and beauty products ie: hairspray.

There are no pre-requisites for this course. I ask that you bring an open mind, a willingness to learn and to heal, and a belief in a Power greater than yourself (whether you call that God, Creator, Allah, Buddha, or any other name, is up to you). Sometimes, we have moments when, though we do believe, we have lost our faith and think that, even though it works for everyone else, it won’t work for us, or we don’t feel we deserve to heal for whatever reason. Sometimes, we just hope with all our hearts that there is something out there that will help us but we don’t put a name to it. No matter, come anyway and we’ll go from wherever you are on this subject.

Venue: Coquitlam, BC, Canada; exact location is dependent upon the number of students. If there are eight students, we can meet at Academy of Energy Healing. If there are more than eight, there are two hotels close by that have large meeting rooms.

Please ensure Registration at least two weeks in advance so we can determine a place.

Financial Investment: $500.00; A non-refundable deposit of $150.00 is required at the time of Registration. If you cannot attend this class, your deposit can be used towards the next Basic Course. Watch for an Early Bird Date to pay in full and receive a 10% discount, which brings the tuition down to $450.00.

ThetaHealing™ - Deep and Permanent Energy Shifts

2009-08-08T07:35:00.000-07:00

What is ThetaHealing™?

I’ve heard it said that ThetaHealing™ is like ‘prayer on steroids’. I wouldn’t argue with that. It is much more, though. It's more like applied quantum physics. When the practitioner enters the Theta-state, he or she can access the Quantum Field and connect to the Creator of All That Is. The command is made and the practitioner then becomes a witness to the healing of the client's issue/s. Healed but not cured.pdf

ThetaHealing is not a religion rather it is a spiritual practice of focussed prayer and meditation. We will be working in quantum field, delving into psychic practices, and exploring spiritual healing.
ThetaHealing will not interfere with anyone’s religious practices. Anyone of any religion, or no particular religion, can enjoy using ThetaHealing for wellness. All that is asked to make a beginning is a belief in a God of your understanding.
The Highest Spiritual Energy that we can imagine is referred to in the ThetaHealing manuals and books as ‘The Creator of All That Is’. There are many streams that flow into the river that is ThetaHealing. You can call this highest spiritual energy by the name that you are comfortable with whether it is Allah, Buddha, Creator, God, Jesus, Mother/Father/God, The Creative Source of the Universe, The Father, The Source, The Spirit of the Universe, Yahweh, and so on.

This technique provides a way to be consciously in Theta brain waves and thereby facilitate clients in their healings. While in a Theta state, we are able to connect with the subconscious mind of the client (or ourselves). The conscious mind comprises 10% and the subconscious 90%. Science has proven that most of what happens to us is stored in this area of our mind. Theta Practitioners cycle between Theta and Gamma brain waves during a session.
In life, we become aware and learn about an inner conundrum, which is completely baffling, where the conscious mind says one thing and we end up doing quite another. For instance, have you ever told yourself that you weren’t going to have that other piece of cake and then ate it anyway? Have you ever said you were not going to drink, smoke, do drugs, go out with that guy/girl, have that kind of person as your boss again, and then immediately went and did it and wondered why? The answer is this, we consciously know what is good for us but we are at odds with ourselves subconsciously (below the level of consciousness) and so we do what we have always done as we are at a loss to change our subconscious behavior.
Let’s say we want to stop smoking… consciously, we know it is not in our best and highest good to smoke and we know we would feel a lot better if we stopped (not to mention the money we would have for other things). So, we decide to stop; we’re really firm about it; nothing is going to stand in our way; we make numerous affirmations surrounding it. The next morning, we light up and are confounded by our own behavior.
Our habits are what drive us. Our Ku, as it is called in Huna Shamanism, is always moving towards pleasure and away from pain. So we run our program of “I am a smoker” and light another cigarette, all the while thinking “What am I doing? I must be weak. I have no stuff. I can’t even be honest with myself.” and our self-esteem plummets.
In ThetaHealing™, we remove these unwanted scripts and re-engineer the mind with programs you want to run by your own choice rather than the ones that are running through habit. Theta is empowering to you, the individual. It is truly transformational.
There are many branches to the ThetaHealing™ tree: body scanning, healings, readings, belief work, energy testing, DNA activation, Gene repair, download of feelings, and contacting spiritual helpers for one’s client. Some or all of these aspects can comprise a ThetaHealing™ session, depending on the needs of the client at that time.

Brain Waves Graph

Theta brain waves cycle at 4-7 per second and indicates a state of being drowsy or sleepy. A Theta practitioner cycles between Theta and Gamma, which is 31 + cps (cycles per second)
Below I've included my acronyms that I have created to be able to remember each brain wave and what it means.

Beta ‘Busily Engaged (in) Thought Analysis’ brainwaves are characterized by logical, analytical and intellectual thinking, verbal communication, and acute awareness of one’s surroundings.
Alpha ‘Almost Lulled; Present, Happy, Aware’ brainwaves most commonly occur when we are calm and relaxed, yet mentally alert. These brainwaves are also present during meditation, some forms of energy healing, and daydreaming.
Theta ‘This Healing Energy Touches All’ brainwaves are characterized by being deeply relaxed and inwardly focused. It is also called Threshold Consciousness - that lovely place between being asleep and being awake where all things are possible. This brainwave state is also associated with rapid learning and the assimilation of new information with high retention, heightened motivation to activate goals, bursts of creativity insight, and new behavior patterns. It is often part of a Gamma/Theta cycle as in the healing modality called ThetaHealing where the practitioner rapidly cycles between these two brain wave patterns.
Delta ‘Deeply Entering Low Task Activity’ brainwaves are associated with being extremely relaxed, characterized by deep dreamless sleep.
Gamma ‘God And Man Manifesting All’ brainwaves; this state is active when we are learning or processing new information. When we are setting intentions and manifesting, we use visualization in this gamma state.

Who is Vianna Stibal?
Plagued with a medical condition that, according to her doctor, would leave her without a leg, Vianna set about an intense cleansing, praying to the Creator of All That Is for a healing. After two cases of facilitating instant healings on others, she prayed for herself and was graced with full good health immediately. Medical tests proved that the lymphatic cancer was indeed gone and she was healed. Years later, her X-rays were shown to a bone specialist who proclaimed that ‘surely, the owner of this leg must be long dead!’ Instead, Vianna Stibal is alive and well and continuing on in her work to share the ThetaHealing™ technique with those who want to learn this uniquely incredible healing modality. When I took my teacher training in Idaho, I saw the two Xrays and it is truly amazing to view the difference in the bone.

Why should I have a ThetaHealing™ session? Which areas of life can be healed with ThetaHealing™?
The list of reasons is endless and quite unique to the individual. I tend to see people who have run out of options with issues surrounding the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual realms. If you have a situation that has not cleared with other modalities, perhaps ThetaHealing™ will work for you. It did for me. I was in acute and constant pain from my back (a chronic condition that had been with me for decades), and a leg injury I suffered last year. My RMT said my back felt like cement, the muscle were so tight. It was affecting every part of my life. I tried various therapies for years - both allopathic and energy medicine. It all helped for a while but nothing was permanent. When I was at the end of my rope and willing to make the change, ThetaHealing™ was the answer to my prayers. It took a few sessions to realize a complete healing.
Now, since I’m not running those old programs, the other energy modalities work much better. I continue to sit each morning and do my Reiki self-healing and I can go deeper into that energy and the distant healing I send to others, as a result of my ThetaHealing™ connection.
When you come for a ThetaHealing™ session, I ask that you bring an open mind, a willingness to heal, and a belief in a Power greater than yourself (whether you call that God, Creator, Allah, Buddha, or any other name, it doesn’t matter). Sometimes, we have moments when, though we do believe, we have lost our faith and think that, even though it works for every one out there, it won’t work for us, or we don’t feel we deserve to heal for whatever reason. Sometimes, we just hope with all our hearts that there is something out there that will help us but we don’t put a name to it. No matter, book an appointment anyway and we’ll go from wherever you are on this subject.
I have been in service to many people with various issues: earache, sinusitis, full of fear, job loss, Parkinson’s, grief, career issues, diabetes, lupus, MS, arthritis, tight muscles, severe and chronic pain, muscle weakness, allergies, clutter, cancer, breathlessness, fear of driving on snow, bad habits, can’t say NO, and so on, and the result was always the same – the issue cleared and they are free to go ahead and live their best life. It is not me doing the healing. If healing happens, it happens through me not by me. It is the Creator of All That Is that is doing the healing. ThetaHealing™ is multidimensional and works on all levels of being and belief.

Where can ThetaHealing™ take me in life?
Being free of pain, addictions, phobias, habits, outworn beliefs, and full of energy, hope, and promise, one can go anywhere and do anything one wants… back to school, entrepreneur, more of ourselves to give to our family, friends, employer, and community. There’s nothing inside yourself to stop you from doing what you want. You are free. It all starts with you.

Consultation
Come or Call and have a chat about what is bothering you. A ThetaHealing™ practitioner is not a counselor, per se, for financial, sexual, marital, or business matters. You should seek a professional in these specific areas for those issues. We do not diagnose, advise, or prescribe. We simply go to the Creator of All That Is with your issue/s and know that the healing is done. And so it is.

Energy Testing
During the course of our appointment, I will be testing your energy on various beliefs you are holding to see which ones are holding you back and which way we should take the session.

Core, Genetic, History, and Soul belief work
We work on all levels of belief to facilitate a complete, thorough, and permanent healing.

Download of feelings
Some people have never felt certain feelings in their whole life so they cannot manifest them for themselves. A ThetaHealing™ practitioner can download these feelings into the subconscious mind. Nothing is ever done that you do not agree to. All parts of the appointment are for your highest good, as we partner to get you back to balance once again.

Contact of Spiritual Helpers
If you would like to know which (if any) spiritual helpers are around you at this time, going up to ask God is a good way to find out. ThetaHealing™ can connect you to Spirit Guides, Angels, and other guardians of the higher realms.

Distant Sessions
ThetaHealing™ works very well over the phone. You need to ensure you are in a place where you will not be disturbed for an hour or so. After processing the payment, I will connect with you to make an appointment. You can have your notes ready of the things that are bothering you and what you would like to work on. I can do the entire session remotely and it is very effective.

Distant Healing
At any time, you can request to be added to my healing list and I will send you unconditional love from the Creator of All That Is every morning when I wake up and connect.

Nelson Mandella said it best:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Kind words
1. We did a lot of work around issues of and beliefs about grief. There were many questions and things that came up that we energy tested for. She felt so much better after just one session (most people come for 3-5 sessions). (my first one-hour phone session) Here is her comment.
Hi, Lyn
The Theta was amazing. When I was saying my prayers this morning (two days later) something did happen. My train of thought on my prayers left and everything that I'd put forward for an answering come rumbling through my head in like a second for each one. It was like a rush, like something was there and then back, replaced by the next. When they all finished I was able to concentrate back on my prayers. It was the strangest feeling. I feel great. JC
2. These clients really wanted to make a clean start in their life, so they were able to stop smoking pot and then came to see me a week later to relieve their cravings and deal with the issues that caused them to want to continue to smoke pot for all those years. They sent a testimonial for me to share...
Hi, Lyn, Here's what we want to say...
When we first met with Lyn, my husband and I had just quit smoking marijuana. We have smoked for many years and although we have stopped before we knew we needed help to stay off it once and for all. I was concerned that we would have difficulty after such a long time and at the first sign of stress it would make us return to our addiction. I was also worried about the mood swings that have manifested during past attempts.
We each had a private session with Lyn, who was always caring and non-judgmental. Lyn has a way of making you feel safe and loved. She gave us good advice and tips to use throughout the first crucial days and weeks ahead.
Amazingly, both my husband and I haven’t smoked since. Although there are moments we think about it, there hasn’t been any really bad cravings. The emotions do crop up however not as severely as I had anticipated.
I truly believe the ThetaHealing session helped us deal with withdrawal symptoms as well as get to the crux of the matter involved why we were addicted in the first place.
I can’t even remember the last time I thought of needing to smoke. Thank you Lyn for supporting us and making us feel safe and respected during and after our session.
3. Since we only had a few minutes left in our visit (and my friend had said she would like to experience Theta before she left), I asked her what was the one thing that bothered her the most. She told me it was her inability to stay on task and keep uncluttered. I downloaded feelings of being clutter-free, organized, and focused. This was on the Saturday morning.
Hi Lyn,
You know I felt a HUGE shift yesterday (Tuesday) in that I am now clearing away things and not procrastinating about them anymore. If I drop anything it is picked up and put in its rightful place, the kitchen is tidy. I have done the dishes as I go along (even though we have a dishwasher, some I do by hand), amazing I cannot believe it, thought I should let you know anyway, the de-cluttering has started with gusto. EA
4. After my husband’s surgery, he gave me carte blanche to send distant healing, so I took full advantage. I daily downloaded feelings of ‘what it feels like to be pain free and fully mobile’ and that worked very well. He was off all pain-meds and up-and-about in record time.
This ‘eating issue’ really put a scare into me as he lost 15 pounds in only two weeks. I decided to download feelings of ‘what it feels like to have the appetite and desire for healthy nutritious food’. The very next day, he began to improve.
Lyn asked me to write about this experience, for the record:
After a recent colon resection due to a colon cancer, I lost all appetite for food. At first, I put it down to hospital food but after about 5 days at home I still had no appetite and could barely cram down a quarter cup of cereal in the morning, half a sandwich at lunch, and a minimal supper.
I was becoming quite worried. I got on the scale and discovered that I had lost 15 pounds. Next morning when I got up, I discovered to my surprise that the sight of food was no longer repulsive to me. I ate about a cup of cereal with milk, for lunch I had almost a full sandwich and enjoyed a cup of tea, and at dinner I ate about 3/4 of my normal meal size.
At this time, my wife, Lyn revealed that she had done a Theta Healing download for me the previous night to restore my appetite. Over the next couple of days my appetite returned to normal and has been no problem since. Over the past 2 weeks I have regained a few pounds and I feel my strength returning. Once again, I have the drive to do things. NA
5. This client described feelings of being frustrated and overwhelmed as she had a hard time saying ‘no’ to doing extra shifts at work. I downloaded feelings of ‘what it feels like to say ‘no’ in a firm yet respectful way, and feel okay with that.’ A week later, I asked her how it was going…
Hi Lyn
I was thinking about it the other day, wondering if any changes were happening - I believe they are. I did say ‘no’ to some extra shifts for the month of April - I only took 2. So that's a start. RB
6. Upon hearing that Norm was experiencing shortness of breath upon the slightest exertion, I did a download for him to remember what it felt like to be full of energy, have a regular heartbeat, and be able to do his normal duties. This is what happened for my husband Norm...
...I recently experienced extreme breathlessness and light-headedness after minor exertion. Concerned, I saw my doctor who ordered x-rays, blood work, an ECG, and a visit to a heart specialist for a stress test.
The tests yielded nothing and the specialist said except for a slightly slow heartbeat nothing seemed awry. All very well, but the breathlessness continued until one day I came home from work and told Lyn that I had not experienced any symptoms that day. Lyn then told me that she had done a Theta download for me the previous night. It’s now been two weeks since I had any symptoms.
The downloads also worked to restore my appetite after surgery and to counter the side effects of chemotherapy. Thank you Lyn.
Love, Norman
7. My husband had a strong feeling that he would not survive without chemo-therapy and I honored that. For the last nine months, since I received my ThetaHealing training, I have been doing downloads of feelings and healing work for my husband Norm every day. It has been a privilege to be of service to him in this way. Theta has helped him through all the tough times he had to endure due to the chemo. He is now not only free of cancer but also free of the side-effects, being full of life and vigor.

...an interview with a nursing student...

I'm always happy to help those who are learning and striving towards becoming more of who they are in the world. Often, I have been contacted by someone who has a specific project in mind. This interview is the result of an assignment given to a nursing student a while back. Here are her questions for me:

1. How do you define energy?
It is the subtle body that surrounds and protects the physical one. Energy is made of atomic and sub-atomic particles that exist all around us. Every culture has its own term for it: Ch’i, Manna, Prana, Ki, Qi, and Ka. It’s the link between our perception of our inner and outer worlds. It’s the glue of our spirit, our body, and our mind. It’s what animates us and keeps us warm, directing all of our movements. The entire universe is made from this energy. Quantum Theory holds that all reality consists of energy fields and that 99.9999% is space rather than what we know of as solid matter. Quantum theorists say that when these energy fields cross, there is evidence of a momentary creation of particles (or matter). According to Pagels, a noted authority on the subject, there isn’t anything else other than these sets of energy fields.

2. Where does healing energy come from?
When a person is trained in Energy Healing, they are taught to connect to the Highest Source of energy available. Generally, that is considered to be God (or whatever you want to call it). Through a specific protocol, a connection is made as the ‘healer’ moves their ego aside and allows the energy to flow through them. If the client has a place that needs this healing energy, they will draw it into themselves. The ‘healer’ does not put energy into the client. If healing happens, it happens through the healer, not by them.

3. Why does someone decide to see an Energy Healer or Energy Worker?
What I see in my practice is that Western Medicine has done all they can for a person re curing the disease or treating the condition but often there are gaps that have not been addressed. For example: a physician can cut out a cancer and treat the body with chemo and radiation therapy. The patient is then called ‘cured’ and sent home to ‘just live with it’, the doctor saying they’ve done all they can. But the person has other issues like: they are not interested in food because everything tastes metallic; they have residual pain at the incision site or elsewhere; they cannot sleep due to drug treatments; they are ticked off at their body because they did everything right but they still got sick; they are frightened because – what if it comes back? – how will they handle that? – what will they do then? and so on. This is where Energy Healing shines.
Reiki is great for pain management as it induces a state of deep relaxation in the body. This, in turn, causes the body to step-up its innate healing ability (we truly are amazing creatures). Meridian Tapping Techniques can work on the mental and emotional components of having a life-altering disease or condition and keep the meridians free from dense energies. It is like acupuncture less the needles. The Practitioner uses their fingers to tap on the meridian end-points. Sound Healing resets the vibration of the cells within the body. And, let’s not forget about the healing that comes from just talking and sharing with someone who really cares about your well-being in a Holistic way and devotes a great amount of one-on-one time to your personal care. In our busy world, we are sometimes dehumanized at our most vulnerable time. These are only a few of the ways that Energy healing can help. So, when people are at the end of their allopathic care, they can see an Energy worker and tie up those loose ends. Energy healing is also preventative as it works in the energy field and can harmonize dense energies that may be heading into the physical body. It relieves acute stress and offers alternatives to chronic stress. It works hand in hand with all other treatments that a person goes through and is not contra-indicated to any treatment.

4. How does your kind of energy work support personal growth?
When a person feels well, they are much more likely to want to take their life to the next level, up and away from the ‘let’s just get through this day’ phase. Through Life Coaching and/or ThetaHealing, one can set goals and orient themselves into a particular stream of being in the world. Working on the beliefs that are holding outworn behaviors in place, and using energy testing to prove the results, is very effective. Having someone to share dreams and desires with is supportive to personal growth.

5. What kind of training did you have to do before you could practice? How many years did you train?
Personally, I have been involved in Energy Healing for over 35 years. Seldom a year has gone by that I have not taken one or more courses. I am certified in over three dozen modalities, at the moment. I have held certificates in a few dozen other modalities that I no longer practice. Certification is different for every course of work one takes on. In each case, there is attendance at a class, seminar, or workshop (length of the courses vary depending on the content) (sometimes the course can be taken through correspondence). There is a training period where one does projects, assignments, and so on. Often, case studies need to be done so one gains proficiency in the technique. There may be an examination (possibly by a Board). Afterward, one can join a governing body or professional association and sign off on their Code of Ethics and Teacher’s Guidelines. One can also avail themselves of Professional Indemnity Insurance to cover any unknown incidents that may happen during their career. I have done all of this over the years. I have since earned a Ph.D. in Energy Healing. There is an article on my Aura Wellness page at lynayre.com called How I Earned My Ph.D. that you can read if you are interested or want further information about how I did this.

6. Did you see someone for some kind of ongoing energy work?
Yes, throughout my life, I have enjoyed many kinds of energy work and can see the value in it. I continue to blend both the Eastern Philosophy of Energy Healing and the Western Allopathic offerings, as needed.

7. What is the client’s role in the process of their work?
If there is no willingness to heal, nothing much will happen – it will just be a nice relaxing session. The client needs to be willing to make the shift into wellness on all levels of being and fully participate in their own healthcare. Energy Healing is no more magical than Allopathic Western care. You can’t just come in for one session and expect a miracle to occur same as you can’t expect to take just one antibiotic capsule expecting the infection to clear up. We didn’t get this way overnight so we won’t get better overnight either. Consistent and conscious effort and commitment is required.

8. What is your favorite method of Holistic Healing that you enjoy doing the most? And why?
I find value in all of them that it is impossible to choose just one. Each modality addresses a specific concern and I wouldn’t be without any of them.

9. How did you decide to become a part of Holistic Healing?
I’ve been a part of this since I was 22 years old. It is part of my spiritual way of life that offers natural solutions from the natural world. I cannot imagine a world that doesn’t offer me choices in my own healthcare. I have a lovely doctor who supports my efforts to help myself and keep myself whole. He knows he is just one man with part of the solution. Together we can treat the whole person – curing and healing.

Special Senses – ESP and beyond…

2009-01-31T22:11:00.000-08:00

Special Senses – ESP and beyond…

Activating the psychic senses through intention and focused prayer:

Always go to the one God and connect then invite in your spiritual allies, create sacred space, and know that you have all the control you need built right inside of you. You can say ‘stop’ whenever you need to. You can even decide to never say ‘start’. But, of course, that would be a shame, as this is all part of the rich tapestry that is life.

In all the years of using my psychic senses, I’ve only ever seen (clairvoyance) one thing that left me rattled. Most of the time it’s events like smelling Evening in Paris perfume and knowing that Grandma is close by or smelling roses and knowing Mom is close by, and knowing things that I have ‘no business knowing’… things along that line… very reassuring and completely supportive.

7. Our prophetic sense resides at the Seventh or Crown Chakra. This is the one place where we are always connected to the Creator Of All That Is (this is a term I read about and adopted in the early 70’s when I discovered a series of wonderful books written by Jane Roberts about an entity called Seth. My Spiritual Mentor, Louise Silver, introduced me to them.) Information and inspiration flow through this centre so that we are always getting spiritual downloads that help guide our lives. This is called Clairgnosis.

Intention - "I enjoy Clairgnosis; I am willing to be a conduit for Creator's healing Love and Light for I am always connected to Source. And so it is."

Action - work on solutions to things like: Ego; having to be in charge all the time; feelings of being 'disconnected'; faith in a power greater than yourself.

6. The ability to see, (either black and white or colour: movies, pictures, scenes, and slides in your mind’s eye, and you have nothing to base this vision on as it all comes unbidden and is of a content that is unfamiliar to you,) is called clairvoyance, clair voyant, clair sighted, clair seeing, psychic vision, and visionary. The sixth Chakra rules vision so this psychic sense is connected to the Third Eye.

Intention - “I am Clairvoyant; I can easily see the past, present, and future for all time exists now. And so it is.”

Action - work on solutions to things like: how you look at the world in general; how you view your relationships; how you see yourself as part of the big picture.

5. The ability to hear (sounds, noises, music, words within your head, that you have not heard before and don’t know who is speaking or what the content means as it doesn’t really apply to you,) is called clairaudient, clair audio, clair hearing, and psychic hearing. The fifth Chakra rules the ears so this psychic sense is connected to the Throat Chakra.

Intention - “I am Clairaudient; I can easily hear the messages of the past, present, and future for sound is just a vibration. And so it is.”
Action - work on solutions to things like: listening instead of just hearing the words; becoming a deep conversationalist by asking the questions what, why, how, who, where, and when; following your inner voice.

4. The ability to have a sense or feeling about something (that has not had any place in your life, ie: you haven’t heard about it, read about it, or been told about it,) is called clairsentience, being a clairsentient, being a feeler, clair feeling, clair sensing, feeling it in your bones, feeling it in your water, and psychic feeling. The fourth Chakra rules our feelings so this psychic sense is connected to the Heart Chakra.

Intention - “I am Clairsentient; I can easily sense things about the past, present, and future because feelings have substance. And so it is.”

Action - work on solutions to things like: trusting your inner feelings and acting on that; feeling the emotions that run through your body instead of running from them or burying them; clearing our your own resentments and things you have a hard time releasing.

3. The ability to know (having a knowing, to feel it in your gut, when there is no basis in reality as we know it, to know what we know,) is called clair cognizant, clair knowing, and psychic knowing. The Third Chakra deals with our personal dynamics so this sense is found here in the Solar Plexus.

Intention - “I am Claircognizant; I can easily know about events happening in the past, present, and future as this knowledge is easily accessed and is just one part of Akasha. And so it is.”

Action - work on solutions to things like: trusting your intuition; allowing this knowingness to express itself openly without editing or censoring; acting on your knowingness.

2. The ability to taste in our mouth that which is not in our mouth (and may have never been in our mouth) is called clair gustation clair gustance, clair gustatory, clair tasting, and psychic tasting. The second Chakra rules the sense of taste so this psychic sense belongs with the Sacral Chakra.

Intention - “I am Clairgustus; I can easily taste things that happened in the past present and future because energy can present itself to me in this way. And so it is.”

Action - work on solutions to things like: noticing when you have a sour taste in your mouth about something; when there's a gag reflex; when the acid rises into your throat.

1. The ability to smell with our nose the complete bouquet of life, all types of aromas, is called clair aliency, clair olfaction, clair olfactory, clairscentrist, clair smelling, and psychic smelling. The sense of smell is connected to the first Chakra, our Root Chakra.

Intention - “I am Clairalient; I can easily smell things that happened in the past, present, and future for the molecules of scent transcend time and space. And so it is.”
Action - work on solutions to things like: noticing when you're smelling something that is not in your vicinity; making an effort to identify where it might be coming from ie: someone is trying to contact you from beyond the veil; it is a clue to what may be happening in the next few moments ie: a fire that hasn't started yet.

Should you decide to develop your psychic senses, seek out a teacher who does not lean towards the dark side of this topic. Do your research and get a referral if you can. Make up a questionnaire and ask all your questions so you can make an informed decision.

You can attune yourself to any of these psychic senses by becoming aware of which one is activated, say a prayer of acceptance around it (ie: I accept this sense of knowing, which is a gift from my Creator / Spiritual Source … and so on), tuning into it, placing your hand over the area if you are feeling it in your body, and making your intention known using the statements above.

By allowing your innate gifts to be developed naturally, you create a new dimension in the tapestry of YOU.

Balancing The Imbalances

2008-06-30T19:09:00.000-07:00

It is my belief that we become ill due to an imbalance in the body. These imbalances come about through:

1. A diet lacking in the daily intake of nutrients and phyto-nutrients

We need a variety of fresh, live foods and herbs every day. Allow yourself a sweet treat once a week and thoroughly embrace and enjoy it with no guilt.

2. Lack of physical movement

Take yourself out for a walk every day for at least 20-30 minutes. The benefits of this one act are amazing and I hope that, at the end of a month, you’ll be able to tell me all about it. Do one better for yourself and go dancing on a regular basis.

3. Not enough water

We need at least 2 quarts of water daily to nourish our cells and clear out waste products. Tea, coffee, soda, and juice do not do this. Juice is good if it is fresh but don’t count it as part of your water intake, and it is very high in sugar.

4. Not enough rest and sleep

Being able to stretch out and relax is one of the most important blessings to our overall well-being. Retiring at a time that will ensure we get seven to eight hours of sleep each night is a key to healthy living. If an opportunity presents itself to have a nap, take it and enjoy the luxury of being peaceful with your self. It seems so simple but it is vital to your life.

5. Improper breathing

Most people ‘shoulder breathe’ and the breath may make it only to the breast bone; we need to take our breath down into our power centre about an inch below the navel.

6. Limited evacuation of waste matter

Each day we need to sit in the washroom at around the same time and relax each muscle involved in the process of elimination. We can say prayers, read spiritual literature, chant OM, or whatever it takes to relax our bowels and allow free-flow of that energy.

7. Feelings of being disconnected from ourselves, our loved ones, our neighbours, our planet, our Spiritual Being

Make a connection to someone you love every day. Ensure you have a good uplifting or funny story to tell them to make their spirits soar with laughter and joy. You will feel wonderful when you do this – like you are ‘a part of’ the life around you. You will attract great people and keep the friends you already have.

8. Enormous amounts of stress

We live in a 24/7 world and we all feel like we are the most important one and that things cannot get along without us. As well as putting your e-connections to bed by a reasonable hour, so you can watch a good movie, take yourself out of the game one day a week. Do something for your self – shop, lunch with a friend, personal grooming, drive in the country – whatever it is that will nourish you on all four levels of being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

9. Lack of tools to deal with stress

Take a course in meditation, Reiki, balancing your Chakras. There are lots to choose from, such as: Tai Ch’i, Reflexology, Sound Healing, Crystals, etc…Continue, develop, and/or explore the topic of hobbies. Make a list of those that interest you and begin your research, finding ones that really resonate with you and feed your Inner Child.

10. Irregular clearing and balancing of the energy field

Develop a relationship with an Energy Worker and see that person regularly. It is suggested to go twice a week for two weeks then every two weeks for two times, then once a month for maintenance. This protocol (these six sessions) will generally clear up those daily, bothersome, and chronic situations, and regular sessions will keep your energy system clear and strong.

As individuals, there is a lot we can do for ourselves. When we do for ourselves, we empower our life with hope, gratitude, peace, and joy. We begin to harmonize the dense energies that have been created through unbalanced living.

Life still happens; devastating illness, which had been already set in motion through years of unhealthy choices, may still come to us. By following these simple remedies for healthier living, we will better be able to ‘survive and thrive’ through most of what life has to offer in a serene and grateful manner.

Taking a regular inventory of our wonderful and attractive qualities is a good daily practice, as is doing a ‘gratitude list’ for that which we receive each day and hold dear to our hearts: our family, friends, home, food & water, overcoming a fault, doing something a better way… there is always a lot for which to be grateful.

Relaxation Response

2008-05-22T12:31:00.000-07:00

In energy healing, we want to achieve
that relaxation response in the body where the

spine lengthens
nerves are freed
bones come to rest
tendons and ligaments ease
muscles relax
facia releases
skin smoothes
circulation flows unimpeded
breathing slows and deepens
organs are optimized
mind fades away
and the brain is bathed in neuro-chemicals,
inducing a sense of peace, hope, and joy.

Not a small thing, this relaxation.

My Mom is consistant

2008-04-02T08:45:00.000-07:00

I took this picture today and decided to write about my Mom and her love for me, even though she crossed over seven years ago. Each year in March - now seven times - a single bloom grows on our Christmas cactus. I wrote about this a few years ago and included my story below. Today, I was urged to write a poem, so here it is:

A single blooms comes bursting forth with all its might
Opening, opening, opening to the Light
A gift from Mom, in Spirit now
Showing me love, teaching me how
To love and love and give freely
From now until Eternity

“Hello” From Beyond The Veil
Nov 22, 2003

Life is sometimes very strange, indeed. In 1993, I’d heard my Mom quit smoking and I thought ‘if Mom can do it, I certainly can.’ I did, and I’ve never looked back. Unfortunately, Mom started to smoke again. In 1999, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Years of smoking finally caught up with her.

My mom, Vi Hutton, crossed over on March 2, 2001. As you can imagine, it was a very difficult time for us all. We rallied round each other and did what had to be done, just like most families do.

My mom didn’t seem to be a religious sort but she made sure we always went to Sunday school and had the opportunity to make up our own minds. Having the love of God and Jesus Christ instilled in me at an early age has been a saving Grace on many occasions. This was definitely one of them. Prayer and meditation saw me through many a tearful time. Now, as an adult, I've chosen a spiritual life-path, though not a religeous one.

My Mother loved people and was always there to lend a hand or simply enjoy a good laugh. She was just a regular gal. Or so I thought...

A few days after she died, I asked my husband, Norm, to have a look at the Christmas cactus in the bedroom. I thought I saw a bud on it. We’d had it for about ten years and it had only ever bloomed around Norm’s birthday in the middle of November. I always thought to myself, ‘some Christmas cactus! It always blooms five weeks early!’ He confirmed what I’d seen.

I did some research on the blossoming of this plant and found out that March is usually the resting month for Christmas cactus. I watched in amazement as a single bud slowly formed over the following few weeks. On the first day of spring, it was in full glory. This tiny flower was the size of my baby finger. It looked like a shocking pink and stark white flying angel. My mom was wearing a shocking pink head covering when she passed. She loved this colour. I fussed over that little bloom and took many photos of it, sending them off to family and friends.

One day, as I prayed over the flower, I began to laugh. This truly was a sign from mom and showed her weird and wacky sense of humor. In life, she couldn’t keep a plant alive in her home and when she died, there were multiple silk and plastic flowers all over her house and on the balcony. Now, here she was, growing this one perfect flower. God’s goodness flooded my being and I wept in gratitude. Sometimes the veil that separates us from our loved-ones is very thin, indeed.

The following year, I wondered if I was going witness the same thing, but as I pondered over this question, nothing happened so I thought it was just one of those quirks of nature.

On the second anniversary of her passing, it happened again. I have been blessed each year since. I cannot even imagine the kind of energy it takes for my Mother to manifest something as dense as a flower. I appreciate her efforts and will always cherish her memory in my life.

In spirit, she is a great help to me continually lifting my morale, making me laugh, and cajoling me. She reminds me to not take myself too seriously. She tells me to go out and play. She says, ‘you don’t have to make a career out of spreading the butter on the bread, you know!’ And, sometimes, she sings to me. I just stop and sit quietly, with tears standing in my eyes, when this happens. Lately, her song of choice has been, “I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie…”

It really doesn’t surprise me that my Mom is still with me. She was always there when I needed her and I need her now, more than ever.

Earth Hour

2008-03-30T17:29:00.000-07:00

Last night, Norm and I enjoyed an hour of peace and quiet as we ritually turned off all the lights, TV, computers, heaters, and even the nightlights, saying Thank You as I went along.

We chatted for a while, then we picked up our drums and allowed them to take us on a journey to simpler times when the night was dark and the light flickered and danced from the fire and flames. I called in my Power Animals and received pertinent messages from each of them.

We spoke about a course I just took on ThetaHealing and I led him on a meditation up to Theta so he could experience pure joy, love, and peace.

We held our dog and breathed a little deeper.

It has been a challenging time, this last month or so, getting him through the colon cancer and out the other side. We have used all the available tools and they have cut his recovery time by a few weeks compared to other stories we have heard about the same type of cancer. So, both of us really needed to just sit a spell and give thanks to Gaia for all that she does for us on a daily basis.

I have uploaded a few videos about Earth Hour. I hope you enjoy them. I'm not used to all this technology so I wasn't able to get just the one I wanted. It seems, they come four in a row, so bear with me. If it's not your cup of tea, just leave it behind. Be well; be at peace.

Warmly,
Lyn

Chakras~Open or Closed

2008-03-28T12:04:00.000-07:00

There is always a great debate in metaphysical circles about whether or not to ‘close’ the chakras after doing healing work. I have been hearing about this over the past twenty-five to thirty years in various healing circles to which I’ve facilitated and to which I’ve belonged. I feel it is time to address this issue, and so it is the topic I am examining in this article.

Many of us are like psychic sponges; we pick up everything around us. I can remember many a time sitting beside someone in a waiting room or a meeting at work and feeling great as I went in. At the end of my time there, I may have developed a queasy stomach, a headache, a phantom pain of some description, or a foul mood. Meanwhile the person next to me says, ‘Wow, I feel really good now.’ So I say, ‘Cool. How were you feeling when you got here?’ Guess what they say? You’re right! The comment is ‘Oh, I had a queasy stomach, a headache, a phantom pain of some description, or a foul mood.’ No kidding… Hmmm.

Let’s take a look at what would happen if Muladhara, our root centre, were closed. The Root Chakra is all about survival and our feelings of safety and security in the world. When I am doing a Chakra Balancing session and find this centre low in energy, I can deduce there may be some problems with feeling grounded and connected to the Earth. Often the client feels like a helpless victim of life’s circumstances.

If this chakra is close to the physical body or completely closed (not enough energy), it could indicate that they generally do not feel safe in the world, and there may be issues surrounding personal mortality and survival of the Self. When this Chakra is closed, there is a severe lack of personal energy, as one would be cut off from Earth Star-our connection to the planet, and to nature. The characteristics of such an individual would be dull, lack luster, no vigor, no enthusiasm, and no feelings of personal responsibility or accountability. Family issues and work issues would not impact the person in a way that would get them moving towards a solution.

Svadhistana, our Sacral Chakra supports our creativity. If it were very low or closed, we would experience blockages in the areas of physical and sexual health, fertility, prosperity, vitality, self-esteem, relationships, desire, and sensuality. Second Chakra tells us about our relationships with that which is different from us. It speaks about how we approach life and our surrounding world. If we are experiencing hardened attitudes, rigid thought patterns, frozen self-concepts, and modes of behavior that destroy opportunities for successful relationships, we are likely having a challenge of the second sacred centre. If there is insufficient functioning here, the person will be lacking in passion and may show signs of immaturity.

The Solar Plexus, Manipura, deals with our own personal dynamics; our feelings of authority and self-confidence, and turning our shadow self into gifts through wisdom. If our personal power is diminished or closed off, we will suffer life as ‘a leaf buffeted about by the four winds’. Our courage and initiative to overcome hurdles and blocks will be limited by our own feelings of inferiority. In a healthy, open individual, you will notice the spirit of the joy of being; someone who is liberated from their own unconscious and who has worked through the clearing of their emotional and mental energetic bodies. In a person who is shut-off, you will see a controlling, perfectionist dominator, or an angry, fearful, unlucky, downtrodden soul.

Anahata is the Heart Centre. Here our lives are enriched by feelings of love, service to others, and devotion to our Higher Power. This Chakra deals with our ability to give love, and our availability to receive love. Feelings of gratitude and self-worth reside here. A person with a closed Heart Chakra is a very unhappy individual, indeed. Our hearts’ first duty is to love and serve us. The heart is the seat of our un-cried tears. However, this needs to be balanced with the peace of mind that comes from a willingness to merge with the Divine. One who is unloving, unsympathetic, and harsh usually has a closed heart. The Heart is the realm of Claire-sentience or ‘clear feeling’. For those of you with this gift, you need a clear and open heart. The Heart is also the balance-point between the physical and spiritual Chakras. The emotions from the first three and the thoughts of the last three come through the heart as feelings.

Our ability to communicate, to write, to speak, and to sing, comes from Vishuddha, our Throat Chakra. If it were closed, our verbal expression would be inhibited. Our exchange of ideas through language would be impaired. A person who gossips, lies, ‘tells stories’, creates disharmony, and is sullen will often show a closed throat centre. Whatever we ‘want’ to do must pass through this vital centre to become our ‘will’ to do. We would be forever in a state of want with no way of willing it to be done. As we move through the Throat centre, we are also moved to a Higher Plane of Be-ing and level of communication and manifestation. This is the realm of Claire-audience or ‘clear hearing’, an important tool for many.

Ajna, our Third Eye Chakra, is the realm of Claire-voyance or ‘clear seeing’. This centre deals with our imagination, conceptions, higher goals and ideals, insight, and inner guidance. Where would we be without this toolkit? The mark of a closed Third Eye is a person who is narrow-minded, judgmental, self-destructive, egocentric, and has control issues. Continuous upheaval and lack of vision is their lot in life.

The Crown Chakra, located on the top of the head where the hair whorls are, is our connection to the Divine Source. Our wisdom, spiritual awakening, meditation, contemplation, illumination, and mystical experiences come from this centre. Sahasrara deals with our oneness with All and with All That Is. When you are enjoying ‘light-bulb moments’ or ‘bells going off’ inside your head, you are in direct connection to Spirit. This is a centre of rejuvenation and our longing for unification with the Divine. If we have confining and limiting expectations, it could be that our seventh Chakra is closed.

So, as you can see, it is much preferable to hold the intention that your Chakras are clear and open. There are many tools available to each of us to help us open and balance our Chakras. They are:

Being in nature
Crystals
Aromatherapy
Colour Therapy
Sound Healing
Music
Chanting and Toning
Meditation
Creative Movement
Artistic pursuits

The trick is in knowing which one to use and how to interact with the tool for the desired effect. Training is available at Aura Wellness Centre, and other places, to help you get going on the right path. Once learned, it is a tool you can use your whole life.

Learning how to keep your Chakras in balance and discovering the importance of working with the White Light are keys to unlocking your hidden self and stepping into a life of love, laughter, and Light.

We Don't End At Our Skin

2008-02-28T11:50:00.000-08:00

Being Human
We are multi-dimensional, multi-faceted, bio-chemical beings of flesh, bone, and sinew, activated by a complex system of chemicals that circulate throughout our body and we are surrounded by an electro-magnetic force field called an aura, which has several layers. We don’t end at our skin.

Our journey cycles from Soul Star to Earth Star and back again. In between, we travel through the Seven Arenas for Growth.

The SoulStar, which is a foot or so above the head, brings in spiritual energy in the form of gold and white rays of light from the spiritual realm. This is a place where we first come into being. This Chakra carries our purpose for being born into this life. This is where we physically separate from All That Is and take on human form, though we always remain aware, at some level, of our inherent divinity. Lesson: Integrate your self. Honor Spirit.

The EarthStar, which is a foot or so below our feet, brings in earth energy in the form of black, brown, or tan waves of light and connects us to the earth. This is where we root ourselves in order to proclaim our intention and ground our purpose for being here in this space at this time. By developing this Chakra, we achieve a sense of feeling grounded and stable. We acquire an affinity for Mother Earth and experience a sense of protection for Her. Lesson: We are all connected. Honor Gaia.

Chakra System
Chakras are energy vortexes that bring in raw Ch'i from the surrounding air and refine it into something our body can use. Chakras are located very close to the endocrine gland and nerve plexus they serve. They provide life-animating prana – subtle energy for our Be-ing.

Each of the seven major Chakras vibrates at a different frequency. To better understand this we can compare the different frequencies of vibration with the notes on a musical scale. (ie: the root Chakra resonates to the note C and so on up the scale.) The Chakras are also associated with the different colours in the spectrum of light. (ie: the root Chakra harmonizes with the colour red and so on up the spectrum of light.)

Think of this way: White Light Streams in the Crown Chakra and breaks down into the wavelengths of the light spectrum with violet being the shortest wave and red being the longest, just like a prism. Colour is a higher vibration of sound. For the root chakra, the keynote is C and the colour is red. C vibrates at 256.0 cycles per second or hertz. To get to the colour red, one would have to find the C note 41 octaves up the scale. We get there by doubling each number ie: 256 + 256 = 512; 512 + 512 = 1024; 1024 + 1024= 2048hz and so on, forty-one times.

Endocrine System
The endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate our body’s growth, metabolism, and sexual development and function. The hormones are released into the bloodstream and transported to tissues and organs throughout our body. Hormones provide the chemical aspect to our Be-ing.

Nerve Plexus
A nerve plexus extends from the spinal column and is directly linked to the Sushumna, up which Kundalini energy rises, when it is activated (as in a Reiki attunement). It is a crossroads of spinal nerves and blood vessels; where they intersect. Nerve plexus provide the electrical aspect of our Be-ing.

Chakra, Indian Name, Associated Plexus, Endocrine Gland, Chakra Information, Lesson, Personal Development

Root Chakra, Muladhara, Coxygeal and Lumbar Plexus:
Adrenal glands – Divided into 2 regions; secrete hormones that influence the body's metabolism, blood chemicals, and body characteristics, as well as influence the part of the nervous system that is involved in the response and defence against stress.

The colour Red and the note C are associated with the Root. It deals with our tribal instincts, our ability to deal with our family, our fears related to our existence and death, our feelings of safety and security in our world. First Chakra is survival, vitality and grounding to physical life and rules the skeleton, legs, knees and feet. Lesson: We are all ONE. (O.N.E.= Organized Network of Energy.)

When we are born, we rely solely on our parents for our introduction to the earth plane. We depend on them to help us feel safe and secure in the world. We need them to nurture us and provide us with a solid foundation. Our family of birth, our feelings of safety and security in the world are all formed at this time. We are developing our Root Chakra and our home life is pertinent to our future progression.

Sacral Chakra, Svadhistana, Splenic and Sacral Plexus:
Ovaries and Testicles – Secrete hormones that influence female and male characteristics, respectively.

The colour Orange and the note D are associated with the Sacral. It deals with our experience of that which is different from us, our creativity, our sexuality, partnerships, modes of behaviors that destroy opportunities for successful relationships. Second Chakra is emotions, nurturing and shelter. Second Chakra rules the genitals, abdomen, and lower back. Lesson: Honor one another.

As we carve out our independence, we become more creative in our ventures. We colour, sing, dance, play, and act. We realize we are separate beings from our parents and we stretch our limits to the max, running away while our parents chase after us; laughing gleefully, testing our boundaries, making critical discoveries about the world around us and learning about ‘the other’. Our Sacral Chakra is expanding and learning what feels good.

Solar Plexus Chakra, Manipura, Solar Plexus:
Pancreas—Secretes a hormone (insulin) that controls the use of glucose by the body.

The colour Yellow and the note E are associated with the Solar Plexus. It deals with our own personal dynamics, our feelings of authority and self-confidence, turning our shadow self into gifts through our own wisdom. Third Chakra is thoughts and power systems. Third Chakra rules the liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen and pancreas. Lesson: Honor yourself.

Our ‘self’ is being established. We are now discovering our place in the world, in our family, at school, at social and religious functions. We’re seeing how we fit in. We have strong opinions and aren’t afraid to voice them. We are acquiring knowledge about personal boundaries. We may have almost mastered something (ie: piano, jump rope or another skill) by this point and so we learn a feeling of authority on a particular subject.

Heart Chakra, Anahata, Cardiac and Brachial Plexus:
Thymus gland—along with the spleen, plays a role in the body's immune system.

The colours Green and the higher vibration of Pink along with the note F are associated with the Heart. It deals with our ability to love and to accept love, our availability to a loving relationship, feelings of gratitude, belief systems, devotions, our feelings of self-worth. Fourth Chakra is love, health and relationships. Fourth Chakra rules the heart, lungs, immune system, arms and hands. Lesson: LOVE is Divine Power. (L.O.V.E. = Light-workers Of Vibrational Energy)

Our heart is opening. We realize we love. Yes, we’d been saying it but now, we feel it with all our Be-ing. We love our parents, our siblings, maybe a few of our teachers, our minister and doctor, and our pets. We love so many that it feels like our heart will explode. Instead, we find it just keeps on expanding and allowing us to love more. We may develop our daily devotions, at this point. We feel gratitude for nature and begin working on our Earth Star. We most certainly have our own personal belief system established. We are, indeed, our own person.

Throat Chakra, Vishudda, Pharyngeal and Cervical Plexus:
Thyroid gland—Produces hormones that stimulate body heat production, bone growth, and the body's metabolism.

Parathyroid glands—Secrete a hormone that maintains the calcium level in the blood.

The colour Sky Blue and the note G are associated with the Throat. It deals with our verbal expression and inhibitions, our communications on every level - writing, speaking, singing, exchange of ideas through language. Fifth Chakra is communication and higher creativity. Fifth Chakra rules the throat, mouth, ears, speech, and hearing. Lesson: Surrender personal will to Divine will.

We have now found our voice. Having been supported by a solid family structure, allowed to explore and create, developing a sense of self-worth, and being willing to love others, we have something to say. At this point, we may be formulating ideas about what we would like to offer the world. Career choices, vocations, avocations come to the forefront of our thinking. Perhaps academia is our choice for this time of our lives. Working with Throat Chakra energy, we can pull in all our training to date and set about creating the life of our dreams.

Third Eye Chakra, Ajna, Carotid Plexus:
Pituitary gland—Produces a number of different hormones that influence various other endocrine glands.

The colour Indigo and the note A are associated with the Third Eye. It deals with our imagination, conceptions, higher goals and ideals, control issues, perceptions, narrow-mindedness, insight, inner guidance. Sixth Chakra is inspiration, imagination and spiritual power. Sixth Chakra rules the vision, face, head, eyes, sleep and dreams. Lesson: Seek only truth.

As we enter adulthood, our perceptions of the world change dramatically. We need to pull in some inspiration in order to live a satisfying life. We may be attracting potential mates. We may be having vivid dreams about whom we should go with, at this moment. We need to take the time to develop discernment. If all the other Chakras have been properly nourished and established, we should now be able to make an appropriate choice for this stage of our lives. We stay in this Chakra for our entire adult life, cycling to the others, as required.

When we begin a new job, we begin a new cycle through the Chakras, creating a structure of security at work; applying your own creativity to your new tasks; establishing your authority in your field and finding your place amongst the others while staying in your integrity; learning to respect and appreciate what your employment is offering you; finding your voice and speaking your truth on the job; developing an intuitive sense about what may be required next or where you could go with a certain project; and so on. Each time we begin a new relationship, job, or creative endeavour, we cycle once again through our Chakras.

Crown Chakra, Sahasrara, Choroid Plexus:
Hypothalamus—Activates and controls the part of the nervous system that controls involuntary body functions, the hormonal system, and many body functions, such as regulating sleep and stimulating appetite.
Pineal body—Involved with daily biological cycles of waking and sleeping. Prevents puberty prior to the proper time.

The colour Violet and the note B are associated with the Crown Chakra. It deals with our connections to Higher Self, wisdom, spiritual awakening, meditation, contemplation, illumination, mystical experiences, oneness with All and with All That Is. Seventh Chakra is unity with multidimensional consciousness. Seventh Chakra rules the brain and nervous system.
Lesson: Live in the present moment. NOW = Notice Only What’s in front of you.

Throughout our lives, we develop ideas about ‘who might be running this show’. We may seek answers in science, religion, or philosophy. We may decide that none of these make sense and so come up with our own line of thinking about the nature of the Universe and all that is within it. There are multiple ways to go here and if we have a strong base in the reality of life, we have likely learned to trust our instincts. Thus, one will go the way of most use to that individual’s path.

Our Electro-magnetic Field
Our ‘aura’ is several high frequency energy layers (or an electromagnetic force field) that surround everyone and everything including our earth. The names of these energy bodies differ in different schools of thought. What is important to understand is that they exist and are there to help nourish and protect our physical body. A.U.R.A.= Abundant Universal Radiation Around each of us.

Etheric body
This energy body is an exact fit to our physical body. The ethereal body draws energy from the Sun through the Solar Plexus and from the Earth via the Root Chakra. This subtle body is also known as the health aura. Within the aura, we can become sensitive and detect subtle energy changes by seeing or feeling phenomena and anomalies that can be removed, balanced, or harmonized during a cleansing. Illness can be recognized and treated by an energy worker before it has a chance to set into the physical body, which makes energy work preventative to illness. Plants, flowers and trees possess a similar radiation as that of the etheric body. Nature is an effective way to balance all of the Chakras. There are a number of ways to balance and harmonize the Chakra & Ch’i system – music and sound, aromatherapy, gemstone therapy and colour therapy.

Emotional Body (astral body)
Thoughts are impressed on the emotional body by the mental body and then they are impressed to the physical brain. When the Emotional body separates from the physical body as in sleep, coma, anaesthesia, drugs or alcohol, it takes with it the sensation of pain. This is why a drunk falling down the stairs does not feel the pain of his or her injuries. It is the storehouse of all of our unresolved emotions and conflicts and shapes our view of the world, creating filters and core beliefs. These are passed unconsciously into our aura and out into the external world. A well-integrated emotional body will be able to manifest its desires when it shifts its vibration to a higher frequency.

Mental body
Its lower frequency is expressed by linear (or logical) thought. Its higher vibration is to receive universal truths and inspiration from the Spiritual body and integrate them with the rational mind. Then we are to apply these to concrete situations and bring about harmonious solutions to our everyday and worldwide problems and so raise the consciousness of humanity. Unfortunately, we get too caught up in the day-to-day drama and trauma to get out of ourselves as much as we need/want to. But, if we could more readily and more often tap in to the intuitions, coincidences and sudden flashes of insight and inspiration, we would make great progress and would overcome so much of our discomfort and confusion.

Spiritual body
The highest vibrational frequency of all the energy bodies (that we know of) is the Spiritual body. Have you ever had the privilege of being around a totally awakened and enlightened person? Their aura can extend for miles. It is through this body that we experience the unity and divinity of life. We can recognize our true purpose and calling through our Spiritual Body. Our lives become more expansive and enriched when we live them through the vibration of our Spiritual body. Our lives will express wisdom, power, and bliss when our Higher Self has the reigns.

Energy Channels
Simply put, the Sushumna (a channel or Nadi through which Kundalini energy courses) is situated parallel to the spinal column in the Etheric body. Starting on the right side, Pengala (another Nadi, which is likened to a vein) travels back and forth across the Sushumna and ends in the right nostril. This is masculine, yang, driving, forceful, forthright, hot, outward, solar energy. Ida (another Nadi) winds her back and forth, beginning on the left of the spine, and ending in the left nostril. She is receptive, feminine, lunar, cool, yin, inward, womb-like/cave-like energy. These are the three main Nadi (or energy vessels/veins/arteries). As they wind past each other, they create circular patterns along the Sushumna. These are the seat of the Chakras. The edge of the Etheric body is where the funnel of energy feels the strongest. The point of the funnel is located deep within the endocrine gland it nourishes.

Path of the Nadi

If your energies are more to the female, you will resonate with Ida. As she begins her journey, she goes to the right of the Root Chakra giving it a counter-clockwise spin. Then she travels to the left of the Sacral Chakra and gives it a clockwise spin and so on up through the Chakras as she winds her way back and forth to the Crown. One whose energies are more to the male will resonate with Pengala and travel the opposite way up the Sushumna. This accounts for the different rotation of the Chakras, male to female energy. This permits the blending of Yin and Yang energies to create the whole, in a relationship.

These are my thoughts, based on over three decades of personal experience and research, about how it all fits together. As usual, I always enjoy reading your comments. Be well; be at peace.

Making First Contact

There are many people these days who have their own website. I remember, when I first created mine back in 2000; it was absolutely nerve-wracking to press the publish button. For some reason, I had the notion that as soon as I pressed it I would be inundated with so many requests for product that I would be overwhelmed and not be able to fill the orders fast enough. Needless to say, that did not happen. I soon found out that I could have the most awesome site in the world and not get one order. Why? was the question of the day. What had I missed? I had a great product, a user-friendly website, and still, the phone wasn’t ringing, the emails weren’t coming, and I was totally confused. Not knowing anything about the web at that point, it was quite shocking and completely deflating.

Submitting
I know now that it was because I was not ‘connected’. So, the first thing I did was submit my URL (Uniform Resource Locator), meaning my internet address to the search engines. Think of it as creating a beautiful card to send to someone and then not having an address; it won’t get very far. I submitted to Yahoo! Google, Dmoz-the Open Directory Project, Lycos, Alt Vista, and dozens of others. It was time-consuming but it began to pay off by creating lines of communication between my site and the directory’s site… just like the lines in a spider’s web.

Keywords
I learned about keywords. At that point I’d come up with twenty keywords to describe what my site was all about. I use Front Page, which creates the html for me as I enter the data. I entered the keywords into the html page. The reason I did this is so that when my website is ‘crawled’ by a search engines ‘spider’ all of the keywords associated with my site will be recognized and my listing will be easier to find. For instance, right now I have several dozen keywords some of which are: ….my name spelled every way it could be ie: Lyn, Lynn, Lynne, Lin, Linn Ayre, Aire, Arye, Air and so on), energy, healing, courses, workshops, learning, classes, sessions, Reiki, (all the modalities by name, level, and by meaning), and so on. When I meet someone and they ask for a card (don’t leave home without them) then lose the card and all they can remember about me is my name is Lyn, I live in Coquitlam, and do something with energy, they will be able to find my site.

Reciprocal links
All of my business comes through my website via surfing the web and word of mouth referrals. I have a links page and do reciprocal links with others of like mind or of sites that are in harmony with mine. I also belong to organizations who refer people to my website.

Helping Others
Recently, two friends asked me to have a look at their websites. Here are some of my comments...

…Going to View then to Source, I see there are only a couple of keywords there. It may be great fun to have your friends read over the site and then make a list of ten keywords each that people may type into search engines and that are just associated with dogs such as leash, dog food, and dog groomers. You may also want to put your name in the keywords (use all possible spellings) so that when you meet people and the only thing they can remember about you is your first name and that you have something to do with dogs, there'd be a chance they would find you using a search engine.

Another thing that can be done it to optimize each page. If you go to LynAyre.com and watch the very top bar as you go to each page, you will see the name of the page then a tag line with the word energy in it as I do energy healing. You, of course, would want the word 'dog' in your tag line. Put it right after the title.

Linking to outside sites is key in getting your search engine rankings to go higher. Find several other sites and approach the webmaster to see if you can do a reciprocal link. (Animal Rescue, SPCA, local pound, Petcetera...) Create a links page on your site and check your links every month to make sure they're still going to where they should and that they are linking back to you. You can also add your website URL to your email signature. This makes it easy for people to just click on your site and have a look.

to another friend…

Your site is very pretty, calming, and esthetically pleasing. These are my comments: There is no photo or information about you, who you are, and what is your vision and experience. This is so important as your client needs to identify with you as a person.

How about something like:
(PHOTO-of your lovely smiling face) "Hi, I'm ___ and welcome to Day Spa. I have a background in _________________ and bring (ie: customer service skills) or have (___ many years of experience) to help my clients. My training was at _____ , and I'm dedicated to ongoing training in order to ensure updated techniques and treatments are available to my clients. I hold certificates in _____. My vision is: ______________________" or something like this that is more 'you talking'.

When I type into the Yahoo search engine "day spa in (your city)", your company is not listed in the first five pages. When the 'spider' crawls your web, there is very little for it to bring back to the world wide web. Some keywords that come to mind are: manicure, pedicure, toning, enzyme peel, exfoliation, extractions, hand, scalp, foot, and leg massage, European Facial, French Manicure, Tinting, Waxing, and bridal packages. Another thing the 'spider' looks for is connections... do you have links to the outside, ie: other websites. You want to link back to others in your field.

Have you listed in any of the directories for your profession? Are you a member of a professional body and listed with them? Is there somewhere you can list that will refer clients to you? I had many other questions for this friend.

NOTE: I am not a computer whiz, an internet genie, or an expert on any of this. I am sharing my personal experience with you. This is what I have found out through trial and error. I have a friend who is an expert and her name is Sue: http://www.suestudios.com/index.htm

Energy Testing

2007-12-19T15:56:00.000-08:00

Energy Testing

Make sure the person is well-hydrated as you may get conflicting answers if they are not. The body will give answers to things that are submerged and unknown to the conscious mind, and it will give answers without being biased by wishful thinking or social maneuvering.

Energy testing is a very definite way of testing. It provides a tangible and convincing "proof" to the person that we have actually gotten a result. The person can much more easily invalidate purely mental and emotional results. Even if he/she feels good and has found out something new, he/she might still convince him/herself a few days later that it was "just" something imagined. But if we have tested it and we both realized that what used to be weak is now strong, that might weigh a lot more heavily in the favour of accepting the change that took place.
The muscles really do react to what one thinks and feels and imagines. But the test is fairly honest and unbiased; whereas, a purely analytical assessment of what one feels might not be as honest.

This technique gives us valuable information. It has been estimated that the conscious mind represents only 10% of our mental capacity and the sub-conscious 90%. The function of the conscious mind is to deal with our day to day tasks, keeping us ‘on top of our lives’ with scheduling and various other tasks. The subconscious mind deals with our assumptions, attitudes, behaviors, beliefs, creative thought, emotions, experiences, habits, language, memory, moods, and skills. The subconscious mind is always moving towards pleasure and away from pain.

Chakra Testing:

We can energy test the Chakras to see which ones are out of harmony. There are a couple of ways to do this. We can have our client lie on a treatment table, stretch their arms out in front of them with back of wrists together. Then you, as the Practitioner, point to the Chakra saying its name and then place a hand between the wrists, saying ‘RESIST’ while trying to pull them apart. You can also gently grasp each of their wrists and attempt to pull them apart. All of this is done very gently and without undue physical pressure.

Finger Testing:

Three methods for finger testing: after hydrating with some water, have your client make a circle with their thumb and forefinger or middle finger.

Ask a testing question then slip your hooked index finger into the circle and try to gently pull apart their fingers ie: say, ‘My name is Lyn’. The fingers should stay together (if their name is Lyn), which indicates a Strong answer or Yes. Say, ‘My name is Ralph’ (if it is not Ralph), the fingers should give and come apart, which means No. If you get some peculiar answers ie ‘Sheila’ tests strong when she says her name is ‘George’, have her drink more water and then use a different finger testing technique.

There are two other ways to do this test: This one shows using both of your hands to pull apart his or her fingers. After asking the testing question, grasp the thumb with one hand and the finger with the other then gently pull.

This last one shows you creating a circle with your fingers, too, and using that to pull apart the fingers after you have asked the question.

Self-Testing:

There is another way to energy test that we can do for ourselves and here is the procedure:

Hydrate first. Face the north. Stand erect and bend your knees a tiny bit so you will stand steady when your close your eyes. Always begin an energy-testing session with a baseline question ie: state your name, on which you should test STRONG.

Simply ask a question or say a statement and see which way you tip. ie: “I hold the belief that I am not good enough.” If you tip forward, you do hold that belief. If you tip backwards, you don’t.

You can do this technique for one or many items/ideas at a time: Pick up a slip of paper with your statement ie: ‘taking this Feng Shui course is for my highest good’, or the name of the item in question ie: ‘taking this vitamin E is for my highest good’; hold the slip of paper on your heart, covering it with both your hands. If you lean forward, it is. If you lean backward, it isn’t. Write a N or Y on the slip of folded paper and put to the side, continuing on until all the slips are done. Then you can record your answers.

Shoulder Testing:

You can do the above technique while someone ‘shoulder tests’ you, as well:

Client: drink some water to hydrate.

Practitioner/Tester, begin by asking them to say their name. They should test strong on this. Ask your client to keep their head still and cast their open eyes down to the floor a few feet in front of them, as this engages the sub-conscious mind. Have them stick their arm out to the side of their body at a 90 degree angle. Ask them if there’s any physical reason why you shouldn’t push down on their arm ie: an injury or bursitis. If it is okay to proceed, place your hand on the other shoulder to steady them, ask them to say their name out loud, ie: say ‘My name is Lyn’ (if that is their name) tell them to ‘RESIST’, and then using two fingers placed just above their wrist bone, press down lightly (this is an Energy Test not a Muscle/Strength Test). It should be strong or may have a bit of a bounce. Then ask them to say, ‘My name is Ralph’ (if it is not Ralph). The arm should test weak and will easily go down to their side, as they lose power. Whether a Yes or a No answer is most desirable depends on what we’re asking for, but most often we will ask in such a way that a strong response is good. There is a certain knack to sensing it, but once one has got it, it is a very definite sign. Your body doesn’t lie.

The efficacy of Energy Testing:

Our thoughts affect us on a physical level. We can show this by having one person think a critical thought about another while they test their energy. The subject will test weak. Then have the person think a complimentary thought and they will test strong. By showing this experiment to our clients, it brings home the idea that, if we can control or change our thinking, our physical energy will be much better. End with the practitioner thinking two positive thoughts to the client. Do the test silently and then share what you were doing with your client.
Have your client stand in front of you and stick out their arm to the side. Silently think a critical thought. Out loud, say RESIST and their arm should go down to the side. If it doesn’t, they may be dehydrated, de-mineralized, their energy may be flowing the opposite of what it should be, or they may need some work on what they believe about themselves, if their subconscious believes what you are saying. Always leave them with complimentary thoughts so they test STRONG.

After some work is done to harmonize their beliefs, you can muscle test again to prove this and give evidence to the client that they have made a shift. If it is now strong when we ask the same question, then we have probably resolved the issue.

One can use energy testing according to preference. It is just one of the tools that are available. You don't have to use it for anything at all, or you can use it for every single issue that you work on with the client. That is up to you.

If you do a number of tests on one arm or set of fingers, they will eventually become tired. One can then switch over to the other side or change the method of testing to something else.

What you are addressing is the mental, emotional, and spiritual phenomena that can be found in the person's world. Finding out what is there and changing it can have profound effects on health.

In using energy testing, it is important that you are very precise in what you ask for or what you put attention on. If you give an unfocused question or direction you will get a confused answer. Energy flows where attention goes. There are many texts available on energy testing/muscle testing/applied Kinesiology that can give you a more thorough understanding of its uses than what is presented here.

Finding the Peace, Quiet, & Joy Within

2007-11-30T10:42:00.000-08:00

Used to be…
It used to be that, at the end of the day, there was time for reflection. We had the opportunity to sort through the day just lived. There was ample time to think things through, make up our mind, discover who we are and what we want, make plans, fantasize, dream, and imagine. Candle light or gas-light just added to the mystery that was life, creating a gauzy, foggy atmosphere.

With our current technology, we can ‘reach out and touch someone’ 24/7. We are never turned to the off position. No matter what your preference as an ‘early riser’ or a ‘night owl’, there is always something you can do. As the saying goes, we have become ‘human-doings’ instead of ‘human-be-ings’.

We are seldom out of touch with the ones we love. We can be contacted via our telephone, fax line, pager, instant messenger, cell phone, email, snail mail, and web cam. Those moments in the car, in the bathroom, shopping, eating, in the movies, at the massage therapists, and at a friend’s house were once great times to reconnect with ourselves in thoughtfulness. They are now constantly punctuated with varying sounds from Beethoven’s Fifth to Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and every imaginable bleeping sound in between. Days of connecting to the ‘people on the street’ or in the supermarket are a thing of the past.

Meditation can allow us to find some balance and harmony within and smooth the transitions of life. By turning everything off and taking time to sit still and be with ourselves, we can renew and recharge our batteries. You and your loved ones, indeed, humanity itself, are the ones who will reap the reward of spending as little as 30 minutes a day with yourself.

Some of the key benefits of daily meditation are: finding peace within and the clarity that comes with that; knowing that our actions are in harmony with who we are; connecting with our truth; and keeping our connection to the Source open and flowing. Grounding to Gaia and taking our place in life on this planet. Meditation reduces pain, and gives us the ability to handle the usual stresses of life. It offers increased mental focus, and an improved immune system. There are a few other ‘side-effects’ that you will notice after you have practiced for a while.

Since these previously imposed quiet times are not forced upon us today, we need to use self-discipline to carve out our own meditation routine. When we find the time, what do we do then? Do anything that makes you feel connected to the true you: sing, do art, do music, do exercise, breathe deeply, slow down your breathing, meditate, pray, write in your journal, focus on an object, think through a question or issue you would like clarity on, or just sit and be. Mindfulness is the keyword; bringing all of your attention into the moment and creating a soothing NOW (Notice Only What’s in front of you) in your life.

To the quiet, and make it quick!
Follow your breathing. This is something that you can do anywhere, anytime. You can do this with your eyes open or closed but it is better with your eyes closed as that helps to reduce brain chatter. In less than a minute, you can be in a calm, centred space. All you have to do is start paying attention to your breathing. This is a built in talent that most of us don’t use, probably because we never thought of it. Just slow down and breathe slowly two or three times. It works!

Twelve ways to build peace, quiet, and joy into your life:

1. Get up earlier or stay up later
These are what I refer to as bonus times. Everyone is still asleep, all the radios, computers, and TV’s are off or not yet turned on, and the energy of the house has changed and settled down. When our space is quiet, it is easier for us to be quiet.

2. Use your time in the bathroom
You’re sitting there anyway. Why not use this time throughout the day to centre yourself? Make this time inviolate. When you are in the bathroom, no one must disturb you for any reason unless it is a dire emergency. Keep some uplifting/spiritual/religious books handy for reading. Say your prayers, if you wish. Meditate, light a candle, and burn some incense. Did you know that ‘The Thinker’ statue was originally seated in the bathroom until they moved him to Paris, France? (smile broadly)

3. Listen to soothing music you love

Really listen. Follow the music and allow yourself to move within it. There are numerous CD’s with quality sound to entrance you. Begin by breathing deeply two or three times, relax your body, then, go into the music, become the notes, or follow one instrument only. When it is not playing, simply rest for a moment. Find the many other ways you can enjoy your selection.

4. Sit by flowing water

Sit and soak up the negative ions created by flowing water. These tiny molecules flood the space around us and attach themselves to the positive ions of dust, bacteria, viruses, and ‘dense energies’, allowing these particles to fall harmlessly to the earth. When there are quantities of negative ions cleaning the air, we feel revitalized. Burning a beeswax candle produces a similar effect.

5. Drive around rural areas

Go see the horses, cows, and falling down barns in your rural area. Take your camera to record your visual impressions and a recorder to record your thoughts. Visit the local nature reserves. Or haunt the old miner’s shacks, railway trestles, and abandoned mines in your area. Drive on back roads and drink in natural beauty. Always let someone know where you are going or take a buddy and be safe.

6. Walk in the woods

Notice the myriad hues of green. Place your hands on the side of a tree and get in touch with the energy flowing under the bark. Wrap you arms around it. Fill yourself with appreciation for this enormous tree-being. Stand beside it and get in touch with the root system. Imagine you have roots and pull the energy up from the earth into your own body, as does the tree. Go on a herb walk with a respected herbalist and discover all the healing plants in your area. Your love and appreciation for Gaia and her gifts will increase a hundred-fold.

7. Take the scenic route to work
If at all possible, leave a little earlier and take the back roads. Opt out of the traffic, turn off the radio and cell phone, and drink in the scenes around you. Imagine – quietly, people are getting out of bed, having their breakfast, walking the dog, taking their morning beverage out to the patio or gazebo and surveying the view. Watch for wildlife on the way.

8. Mindfully direct your attention

There are several things to chose from. Depending on the sense you want to stimulate, you could choose cloves, cinnamon, Rose essential oil, perfume, a candle, flower, crystal, photo, a bird, song, feather, tone, and so on. Keep it singular and simple. Put all of your attention into the object of your focus. Breathe deeply and renew your spirit.

9. A party for one
Light your favourite candles and incense, put on your special music and move your body to the rhythm. Follow your own promptings. If you have a drum, didgeridoo, or some other toning instrument, play along. Get a Tibetan singing bowl and simple listen to the wonderful harmonics as you play it.

10. Pretend the power’s out

Turn everything off and sit still. Be quiet, find your sacred space within, and honour your process. Get in touch with who you are in this very moment. What do you really want? Are you doing the things that boost your self-esteem? Do you still have some habits that annoy even you? Are you willing to give them up yet?

If you don’t want to have a serious look at this time, there is still much you can do:
a) go to bed and read a book by flashlight under the covers
b) build a fort with your blankets
c) light the fireplace to roast marshmallows and drink cocoa
d) put your mattress on the floor beside the fire and sleep in your flannel pj’s
e) have a pillow fight with someone you love
f) laugh until your tummy hurts
g) get on the swing in the park
h) teeter-totter with a loved one

11. Speed write

Put pen to paper and don’t take it up until you are done. If you get stuck, simply write ‘I’m stuck, I’m stuck’… until you are unstuck. Your deepest dreams and desires will come forth for you to examine. If you could have your absolute ‘druthers’ (I’d rather be doing this…), what do you want in your life. Make a list.

12. Create a Manifestation Board
Take your list from suggestion 10 and find words, photos, clippings, and magazine pictures that closely resemble what you want then glue-stick it to a piece of black Bristol board. as you stand before your board each day, create a story about how your life is. Use ‘right now’ terms instead of projecting into the future.

As an example: “I am living in a lovely 3 bedroom rancher on a 2-acre property in a quiet location. My kids come for family dinners every other Sunday. I enjoy seeing our grandkids. My husband has been able to retire as we unexpectedly received extra money that enabled our lifestyle. My business is very successful and lots of people from all over the world buy my products, sessions, and courses.” …and so on. Can you imagine the images and words that would be on this board?

Imagination is the key to finding the quiet time in our lives. We can support ourselves throughout our lives with ten minutes here and fifteen minutes there, remembering we won’t always have two jobs to go to or three kids to care for or a parent who is ill. If we can make regular deposits to our ‘spiritual bank account’, when these times come we’ll be better able to handle them and not lose our own centre.

Meditation in a Minute

2007-11-15T08:52:00.000-08:00

I have to go grocery shopping today. This is not one of my favorite chores. But, alas, it must be done. Thank goodness I have re-discovered the pleasure of just phasing out—you know, that thing that babies can do at the drop of the hat. Their eyes glaze over and they are just gone, gone, gone.

The process is simple. Appear to others as if you are trying to decide which item (on a lower shelf) to put in your cart. In reality, you are off on a mindless journey for a minute or so. On closer inspection, your eyes would appear relaxed and unfocused. Then you can go about your shopping feeling refreshed.

Another easy way to get to the relax-zone, especially in the grocery store line-up, is to simply gaze at something at the end of your cart, like the box of cereal. Put your foot up on the lower bar. Lean your body on the hand-hold. Now, just relax your vision and allow your mind and body to rest a minute.

When we are required to stop and wait in life, we can use these spare moments to relax, release, and renew ourselves. Life no longer needs to be a toe-tapping time-watching endurance event.

We might even become so relaxed that we temporarily lose our mind and actually speak to the person beside us. A great opening question is, 'So, how is your day going?' Then we can relax further and listen to another's experience thereby helping them to feel better.

Spirit Meditation

2007-11-09T08:45:00.000-08:00

Spirit Meditation

“Spirit eludes our attempts to explain and define it because it is a dimension beyond beginnings and endings, beyond boundaries, beyond symbols, beyond form itself.” Wayne Dyer

No matter what we call it, whether it be God, Spirit, Creator, Source, Buddha, Allah, Christ, Source, All That Is, it still is. Let us leave semantics to those who want to spend their time that way. We have come together to learn about this Force for Good in the World and how we can use it to help ourselves and others.

Make yourself comfortable and close your eyes. Breathe at a rate that is right for you.

Feel the rhythm of your Physical body as your heart beats, your lungs expand and contract, your blood pumps through your veins. Take a deep breath in and hold, and release. Take a moment now to say a prayer of gratitude to your body.

Feel the loving caress of your Etheric body as it moves with you every step of the way, each and every day. Beginning at the top of your head, check your energy body over and make a note of any anomalies. Give thanks to your health aura for guarding you against disease. Strengthen this body with White Light through your intention.

Feel the richness of your Emotional body as it records all of the energetic events that happen in your daily round: the solidity of grounding to Gaia, the thrill of victory over temptation, the peace of understanding and acceptance, and the joy of Spiritual connection. This is the colour in your life. Consistently raise your energy to the highest level you can and keep this body clear from the past and for the future. Feel blessed.

Feel the activity of your Mental body as communication from higher sources comes in and enlivens your thought-life. You can take these mental images and, through INSPIRATION, IMAGINATION, INTUITION, and INTENTION manifest them into your daily life. Clear out any debris in the form of entitlement, resentment, prejudice, anger, and worry. Feel that gentle breeze of peace sweep through and fill your higher mind with the freedom to co-create with the Universe.
Feel the vastness of your Spiritual body as you begin to float in the arms of God. Allow yourself to be. Be Calm. Be Joy. Be Light. Be Love. Be Peace. Be Spirit. Be Free.

Become The Light

2007-07-30T10:07:00.000-07:00

Taking a personal inventory of one's Self is a vital process. Most people hit the floor running in the morning and never sit with themselves long enough to find out who they are and what their life purpose might be. They shop, vacuum, drink, do drugs, smoke, run the kids around, jog, work 60-hour weeks to pay off a bloated mortgage, and blame everyone else for their misfortunes. They are disconnected and 'living lives of quiet desperation'. This line of questioning will help you discover the faulty core beliefs that are holding you back.

A journey inward, to find and nourish that divine spark, produces feelings of wholeness, connectedness, vitality, and compassion for others, among other things. When we stop denying who we are, we can start to become healthy, peaceful individuals.

We may not be living the life we deserve but we are living the life we chose. Know that, right now, you are living the life of your dreams. If you want to change your life, then change your dream. Energy flows where attention goes. You have created and manifested everything in your life and do so each and every moment of each and every day, through the thoughts and feelings to which you provide safe harbor. You have the Power to change your life at any time.

We need to discover who we are by seeking answers from that still small voice within. We were made complete, with all of the value we'll ever have; we just need to hook-up again, if we've lost that connection to the Source of All That Is.

As this process progresses, we naturally turn outward in order to help others. We are now giving from a full cup. As this feeling of bounty and abundance grows in us, we become an inspiration to those around us. We become a Light to the world, as we reflect the love of the Source of All That Is for its creations.

One thing that is really worth keeping in mind is this: “If ‘GOD’ (use your own term here) created us human, why would ‘HE’ punish us and condemn us for being human?” This idea will help us to be gentle yet thorough while we search and come to recognize our eternal beauty.

It is my sincere hope that you will be able to get to the bottom of what is troubling you and find the answers you seek and the wholeness you deserve.

May you know that you’re loved. May you feel deeply blessed along the way.

Explorers, Each of Us

2007-06-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

In the mid 1400’s, explorers set sail in a state-of-the-art sailing ship, to find a new land. They came to an island paradise and decided to go ashore. A landing party was chosen and the men boarded the rowboats and began to paddle to the golden sandy beach. They looked back and saw their majestic ship, in all its glory, bobbing on the horizon. It was a beautiful sight to see the white sails silhouetted against the blue sky. Looking forward, they were heartened to see the villagers gathering to greet them. As they ran their boats aground, the Chief approached them with arms open wide in welcome. Though they did not know the language yet, they readily understood these beautiful and simple people.

The inhabitants circled around the rowboats and seemed to make a great fuss about them. Others were milling about, chatting with each other, as their kids played in the sand. The landing party was invited to dinner and preparations were made. There was something strange, though. Not one of the folks they’d encountered had said anything at all about the great ship on the horizon.

During supper, the village medicine man came to join the happy group. As he approached the beach, he noticed something different about the ocean. He saw faint, peculiar ripples in the distance. He wondered what was causing them, as he sat down to eat with his family and friends.

Every day, this Shaman came to the beach and gazed at the ripples. Over the following weeks, things began to come clearer, until, eventually, he saw a great boat on the horizon, such as he had never seen before. He called to his people and pointed it out to them.

Over the next few days, each in their own time, all were able to see it. They didn’t know why they hadn’t noticed it before. The answer, of course, is they didn’t have a frame of reference in their consciousness and so they could not see.

I’m here to tell you, there is a great ship on the horizon such as you have never seen before. It is full of all your hopes and dreams, wishes and visions for your future. All you have to do is imagine and believe that it is so. Adjust your sight a little. Shift your thinking somewhat. Use courage to walk through the fear that is holding you back. Do the next right thing. Take the next step forward. Take your place in the world. Shine your light. Live your life. You’ll never regret it taking a chance on yourself.

This is what coaching is all about. Helping people to see what is on their horizon. Delineating a path with them. Taking my machete and cutting through the superfluous to get to the heart of the matter so that they can achieve their goals.

‘What do you really want?’ I ask. ‘Okay, just know that it is already yours. Now, let’s go get it.’

Then the journey begins.

A day of fun at the CRA AGM

2007-05-31T14:08:00.000-07:00

We arrived at ten to nine and set up our table for the mini mart. I sold several perfumes and CD's. I also got three orders for full-size perfumes and another order for a CD. I was asked to give the opening blessing, which I did. The general meeting was over a ten to twelve and we broke for lunch til one o'clock. Lunch was awesome with a variety of sandwiches, salads, beverages, and baking treats.

After lunch, Forest played the didgeridoo for most of an hour and took us on a meditative journey. He is amazing. If you ever have the opportunity to see him, you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.

I began my presentation at two o'clock by offering everyone a Body Break. We stood and stretched for a few minutes. Then I taught everyone how to tone into an area of deficiency in the aura.

First, Norm demonstrated the process on Judy. Note the Orbs on the left. Then, I had the group pair up and choose who would receive first. Then I asked them to scan the energy field front and back looking for any anomalies of heat, cold, drag, dip, or prickles. When they found an area to work with, they vocally toned into it until the energy balanced. Then they scanned again; smoothed the aura; and said a prayer for their client. Then they switched. Everyone enjoyed this exercise and I couldn't have felt more gratified by the result. To hear a group of forty-five people all toning together was really rather amazing.

Afterward, using the Himalayan Healing Bowls, I took them on a meditative journey to Tibet, into an ancient monastery, and a time steeped in ritual and tradition.

Finally, there were many questions to answer about how I became interested in the bowls, sound healing, and how it all works on the biofield and physical body. I happy to report that my presentation was well-received and this makes me feel wonderful.

We arrived home ten hours after we left, having supper on the way home. I fell asleep at 8:30, awakening at 7:30 the next morning. My weeks of preparation had paid off and I felt grateful and happy all day long.

I've since produced a DVD of the song I played called Shanti ~ Inner Peace.

We live in a sea of Ch’i

2007-05-22T10:57:00.000-07:00

We live in a sea of Ch’i. We are surrounded by energy and every thought, word, feeling, and deed, that has ever been, is in this sea, this ocean of energy that surrounds us.

Sometimes a thought will enter our mind and we have no idea where it comes from. It comes from the Akasha where everything is stored. This thought enters our mind, just out of the blue (literally), and we begin to toy with it. For example, let’s say that years ago a friend borrowed our garden rake and did not return it. We feel resentful and that thought is recorded in Akasha – this sea of Ch’i. Here we are years later and this thought comes to mind, and we think, ‘Yeah, that guy didn’t return my garden rake.’ The more we think of this, the more it settles in and becomes a feeling – an e-motion – energy in motion. Now we feel angry and begin to think about all the things that have been borrowed from us and not returned. This happens because ‘like attracts like’; energy flows where attention goes, and if we are feeling resentful we will attract more resentments. Ever notice that?

So, our tummy starts to churn, our breathing becomes more shallow, and our mind becomes consumed with unpleasant thoughts. We are now being affected physically by this one stray thought. This is the process that we go through time and again when we are not watchful of our thoughts.

The same thing happens with physical pain. We feel a twinge and say to our selves, ‘oh, what was that?’ and we focus our attention on it for a time. Before long, we have a throbbing knee, or elbow, or head. We need to learn to not build bridges of energy to that which we don’t want.

Just know that we are not our thoughts, we are not our feelings, and we are definitely not our pain. All of these are like waves on the ocean. They come in and they go. Crest and recede. It’s the thoughts, feelings, and sensations that we decide to give safe harbour to that may cause us a problem.

Entrepreneurship ~ The Path Less Traveled

2007-05-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

There are many things that a budding entrepreneur can do to ensure optimum success.

1. Developing a website is number one. Few people, in my circle of family and friends, ever refer to the yellow pages anymore. I want to know with whom I am dealing instead of making a ‘prod in the dark’.

Review your site weekly to keep it fresh and alive. Back it up onto a CD every week, or more often, if you are updating a lot. Use PayPal or something similar to make it easier for people who want to pay with a credit card. Any links that exist on the site should be active and lead to where you want them. Check to make sure none of the info has stale-dated. Do a line edit if you’ve added a lot of text content or, better yet, let a fresh eye read it over. Link to everyone who is in harmony with your website. List yourself on the many free directories and do reciprocal links with others of like-mind.

Find someone you admire who is doing similar work and advertise in the same places. There can be no competition in our field of endeavor, as any healer worth their salt knows that it is all Spirit-guided. The clients and students that are yours will come to you. Also be aware that healing happens through us not by us, and ego should be sent on a well-deserved vacation.

2. Write a quarterly newsletter with topics you know would interest your readers. Share your personal experience with others. This helps people to identify their issues and gives them hope that they, too, can recover from whatever is bothering them.

3. Creating an image through branding is very key. By having your website, brochure, flyers, business cards, registration forms, certificates, seals, and receipts with the same colour scheme and logo, visitors will soon recognize your particular look; it attests to continuity and professionalism.

4. Work with intention. Decide what it is, exactly, that you would like your end result to be. Then write an intention surrounding that ideal. ie: “I hold the intention that (my company) is financially stable and doing well on all levels. We attract and attain new students and clients daily. We are a resource for our community. And so it is.” Say this intention at least 21 times each day. If fear comes knocking or doubt creeps in, say it. Keeping our thoughts aligned to our intention is mandatory.

5. Keep up with your daily spiritual rituals. If you do Reiki, or any other kind of self-healing, meridian clearing techniques, meditation, yoga, exercise, walking, or some other form that feeds you spiritually, keep it up; do it daily. Don’t let yourself lapse as this will affect your energy system, which will affect your ability to attract abundance and prosperity.

6. If you work from home, as most of us do, begin and end your day at a certain time. Then close the office door. Take a half hour to an hour lunch break or dinner break and relax. Read a book that is not related to your work. Call a friend. Better yet, meet a friend or your Mom for lunch. You know, just have fun. We don’t get another shot at this and it really behooves us to take care of ourselves. When I last flew, our hostess told us that we need to put the air mask on ourselves first, and then on our loved ones. This really makes sense, doesn’t it? We are not going to help anyone if are not well ourselves.

7. Keep up with the courses required to do your job effectively. Expand your knowledge base and skill set. Go for the highest rung you can reach, then reach higher. Don’t allow yourself to rest on your laurels and become stuck in a rut. Be on top of what is happening in your ‘community of interest’; join professional bodies and get involved.

8. Go out and walk through your community and get to know who lives there. Talk to them about what you do. See the people who work at health food stores, metaphysical bookshops, and other wellness centres. Leave business cards and brochures with them. Point out your website URL. Remember, this is akin to a job interview and you only get one chance to make a first impression. Be appropriately dressed, open, and pleasant.

9. Contact your local College, Continuing Education Departments, Community Services Branch, and volunteer to give free lectures on the topics of your modalities. Make up a handout for people to take home and mull over. Follow up, within three days, with anyone who seems interested.

10. Get in touch with women’s centres, homes for the elderly, or the hospice society, and share your self there.

As you go about your daily round at the bank, the grocery store, and the muffin shop, share with others who you are and what you do.

11. Check out your thoughts and ideas with a trusted friend/mentor or gather together a posse who know you well and regularly check in with them. We can sometimes feel like we’re going it alone in this business, when, day in and day out, the only people we see are clients and students. Take time to recharge your batteries, kick back, and just relax with friends.

12. To avoid burnout, balance your business life with family, friends, and other interests. Go on regular vacations and leave your work behind you for a few weeks. When we do this, I ensure my regular clients still get their sessions by asking some of my friends in the business if they would take one or two for a few weeks. This works out well for everyone. We don’t last forever and sometimes illness befalls us or we are forced to move to another area of the country. It is important to our clients that they have someone, they’ve already been to, to take your place.

13. Don’t leave home without them. Take your cards, flyers, brochures, or recent newsletters with you. Always have something on hand that you can give to those who seem interested in your work. Have extras for them to give to someone they know. Look as good as you can when you leave the house. You never know when Spirit might have an interview waiting for you.

14. Finally, save time aside in your schedule every month to just help another budding entrepreneur. Have them in for a cup of tea; share how you’ve done it. Show them this article. Encourage them. Our world needs all the help it can get.

Remember, it takes time to become known and established. ‘Word of mouth’ plays a big role in your chosen career path. Be patient and have faith. Take it person-by-person and do all you can to help that one soul. The world is a better place with you in it. Life is a great adventure; have fun with it and smile often.

These things I know for sure

Everything is Intention
Everything is energy.
Everything is connected.
Everything is changing.
