Nipping, Barking & Humping took her down

Our 4-legged pain management Guru's adoption opportunities went BUST when she wouldn’t stop nipping, barking and humping. 

Being devoid of human excuses and “you made me do it”, Connie's behavior offers an inarguable view of habits and consequences.

BOOM! Nobody made her do it. She chose it. Nipping, barking and humping resulted in Connie going through a succession of good homes before she went to her superfantastic furever home, where they managed her flaws. 

If you were granted the life of your dreams, which habits would you need to ramp up or eliminate to have a healthy relationship?  

                                                             

Gossip, Drama, Ghosting and MoMo

Feel the energy, trust YOURSELF and take action

Gossip, drama and ghosting are highly magnetic energies that suck people in to bad circumstances. You have the power to be part of it or to X out.

Harmful people don't dress in sinister costumes like the MoMo pop up, they don’t necessarily act weird either. Yes, some are mean and forceful, but some are really reeeeallly nice to you and they talk and act in ways they know will suck you into being or doing what they want you to be or do. 

You will know if they want to help or hurt you through your senses and intuition. If you feel confused or you get the heebie-jeebie weird vibe in your gut DO NOT TRUST THEM. Trust YOURSELF and find a way to leave.

UNCOMFORTABLE ENERGY VIBES demand ATTENTION & ACTION

When you feel uncomfortable or mentally, emotionally or physically unsafe decide what you will do to stay safe before something happens and do it like your life depends on it. 

Telling someone you trust is a HEROIC LIFE-SAVING ACTION that could save yourself and others. #metoo demonstrated the power of talking about it.

...and then she opened a can of Whoop-ass!

Everyone is a teacher.

Jesse watched us in sheer delight like we were a clip on Americas Funniest Videos as I ran laps behind my kindergartener who ran around in circles until I caught him and put his snowsuit and boots on.

Time Standing Still

I told my son, “You did not teach a good lesson today.”

The next day his jaw dropped when he saw Jesse's mother run laps behind him in the vestibule. Okay, I admit it, it was hilarious...until she stopped…and opened a can of whoop-ass.

Jesse froze. His coat, boots and mittens went on in record time while he was harshly reprimanded, grounded and lost privileges for a week.   

The guilt on my son's face left no question: he knew he taught a bad lesson. 

Either we lead like the Little Engine who DID or we follow like a caboose on someone else's train. Those are our choices. We are all teachers.

As parents of adults, we don't chase our children around the cavernous vestibule in our mind. We stand in the energy frequency of faith and love where we hold the high watch knowing our best seeds bear fruit for our children. This is the meaning of prayer. It is done.

No one said it was easy to stop running laps around the vestibule--ask the Little Engine how difficult it is to master the demons in our mind and have faith when the terrain is rough--but we know it's possible to apply the principles of constructive thought and release it into the flow of the highest knowing it is done.

Rescue Dog's Miracle

Our pain management guru, Connie-pups, or perhaps the people around her, wove miracles with positive intentions and prayer bolded in her story below: 

Connie, an elderly dog with advanced osteo-arthritis, was surrendered by loving owners who could not offer medical care. 

HART Rescue’s mandate to improve dog's lives through fostering, behavior training and veterinary care aligned with my desire to foster to use my healing gifts to help dogs. Connie got healthier and stronger and I wished she had more psychological stimulation, like a companion dog or cat and a larger “sniffier” back yard. 

As we dreamed a big dream for Connie the Universe was making moves. When Connie came to HART a family who was fostering another dog wanted Connie, the timing wasn’t right, she needed to be with me … and then the magic happened ... their dog was adopted, I got injured, Connie had to go up for fostering, and 

                                                             BOOM! 

The stars aligned, the family that wanted Connie took her in, and, wait for it, here comes the miracle . . .  

Connie's new home has a dog, two cats, a doggy-door to a large “sniffier” backyard, AND she gets to go camping! It's doggy heaven!

Our highest intentions and prayers for Connie were answered. 

Connie. the unintended pain management guru’s journey demonstrates: 

• Energy medicine and prayers work: MIRACLES HAPPEN, but maybe not exactly the way we expect...it didn't heal her arthritis, it made the best of her life.
• Knowing what you want, acting in alignment with It and letting the Universe do Its part is a recipe for miracles.
• Connie sweetly and patiently surrendered to the Universe and the Universe surrendered to Connie. 

As bittersweet bon voyages go: the forecast is extreme happiness that Connie-Pups got the dream life we wanted for her, sprinkled a few tears...I miss my Connie-girl.

Pain Management Puzzle

The Pain Predicament

During a TV interview, two healthy-looking ladies who were suffering with pain said their pain management classes taught that it was best not to show pain {no moaning, groaning or holding body parts}, and not to talk about pain with others unless saying “no” without explanation would hurt someone’s feelings or kill the relationship.

Is this pup in pain? A group photo in a magazine's tagline was, “Which person in the group photo (of smiley-faced people) has chronic pain?” The next line said, “They all do”, including the pup in the photo. The pain management group photo and Connie-Pup's photo demonstrate that how we look may not be an accurate way to judge pain.

People who put a smile on their face and do their best in spite of pain upgrade their own mental health and give their best to the world, however, pain is a relentless beast that will take them down the minute they get home. Therein lies the conundrum: doing our best, when our best changes from one second to the next, and putting on a happy face may result in being misunderstood and misjudged; not putting on a happy face is social suicide in a world where “can’t” is judged as a sharp-edged “won’t”.

When pain management and people management collide: we don’t want to hurt your feelings, we don’t want to lose your friendship, we don’t want to talk about how much pain we’re really in cause we’ll have an emotional melt-down, it's just that when we say we can’t it’s not about you, it’s not a choice, we just can’t right now. 

Stray Dog Unlikely Pain Management Guru

Connie, a 12-year old stray dog with advanced osteo-arthritis turned out to be a pain management guru.

When Connie's whining, sleeplessness, and need for attention was deemed to be separation anxiety and her personality and personal choices were viewed as attention getting, Connie was actually waging a war with pain that was more intense than her very loving caregivers knew.  

When Connie's meds were increased her face softened, her hair laid flatter, she slept peacefully, she whined less and her exuberant, people-loving, hard-working personality surged forth: she walked faster, she pulled on the leash, she walked further until she hurt herself, and then, and only then, did she lay down and rest. 

When her pain meds were decreased her pain increased, her sleep was interrupted, she wandered around the house at night, she whined more, was capable of less...you get the drift.

There was no psychological overlay to her behaviour: Connie was unaware of medications or dosage. It was simple: the worse she felt the less she could do, the better she felt the more she did-- she did what she loved until it hurt and then she rested. This is animal nature, it is our nature: when we feel better we do better. 

For those of us managing extreme pain, including mental/emotional pain, consider Connie's situation and stop beating yourself up. Walk a mile in Connie's paws, she does her best every day, when she can do more she does more and sometimes she endures great pain and long recovery because she simply must satisfy her spirit's need to do what she loves. 

That is the nature of pain management. While Connie's first choice is to follow her spirit and do what she loves, people take care of business until it takes them down and they leave the rest, messy house, dirty dishes, lost connections. Connie's caregivers and our families and friends help us when they ride along with the ups and downs of the pain wave and they do with us when we can, do for us when we can't and don't punish us when we shouldn't have done it but we did it anyways.

Bombs are Energy

At the atomic level, bombs are explosions of energy traveling with so much speed and force that everything in the way is destroyed. It's utterly heartbreaking. (Tornadoes are an example of energy in motion.)
 

"We" don't have power over what happens (who does what to whom). "We", the collective consciousness of humanity, have jurisdiction over world peace. 
 

People are not private energy forms. What we think, feel and do resonates through our personal energy field as it SIMULTANEOUSLY REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. (Yes you are that powerful!) 

The collection of human thoughts and emotions creates great waves and shifts in the collective consciousness that shifts civilization--as 9/11 did. 

FEAR is a public enemy #1. Fear causes people to focus on emotionally charged "what will happen to me" rather than on fact-based, speculation and opinion-free "what actually happened". It causes people to jump to judgements and decisions and to speak and act in uncharacteristic ways that pump up the chaos, e.g. fb posts.
 

How we react individually adds to the momentum of peace or war. Bringing ourselves into the energy of compassion allows us as a person and as a people to pause, collect and consider facts and to calculate the long-term consequences of our words and actions. 
 

The hallmark to create balance rather than chaos is:
 

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"...your babies, your family, your country.

 

This resonates with balance and compassion. It puts fact finding, deliberating and deciding into a balanced state of compassion that is essential to world peace. As individuals and as a people, the best we can do is to be in a state of compassion before we speak and act.

 

You are this POWERFUL!!!

Hope, One World, One Peaceful Heart

One World, One Peaceful Heart

News, gossip, and all information has an energy frequency that alters people.

 

It influences our thoughts and decisions, it affects our health and becomes part of our culture, our beliefs and ourselves.

 

When we feel it and think about it and especially when we share bad news, we vibrate at that level  until we release it and choose to hold peace, love and joy in our hearts and minds.

Consume information consciously and carefully. Eek out facts, decide for yourself and, regardless what appears to be true, refocus on peace and hold peace in your mind.

 

Personal peace will begat world peace. We can do it.

World Peace is Not a Hope or Dream

Every major religion has its version of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

World peace is not a hope or a dream. When we disarm, disable, and disallow violence, drugs, and weapons from our family and community, there will be peace.

John Lennon sang "Imagine" ...  "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only only one."

We are not dreamers! When we reach the tipping point and enough people hold peace in their hearts and homes, the consciousness and the energy frequency of the planet will shift and there will be peace.

Fill your mind with peace; let it outpour as peace in your home. Personal peace is the only path to world peace. We can do this. 

Everyone is a Teacher

One of our family mottos is: Everyone is a teacher. There's no choice about it, someone is always learning from you. Your choice is whether you teach good or bad lessons.

When I picked my son up  from kindergarten, he thought it would be great fun if I chased him while he ran in a big circle until I caught him so I could put his coat and boots on.

His little friend delightedly watched us like we were a clip on Americas Funniest Videos. When we got outside I told my son, "You did not teach a good lesson today."

The  next day my son's jaw dropped as we watched Jesse's mother run laps behind Jesse in the vestibule. Okay, I admit it, it was hilarious...until she stopped and opened a can of whoop-ass. She grabbed Jesse and his coat, boots, scarf, and mitts went on in record time, he was harshly reprimanded, grounded and lost many privileges for the week.   

My son's guilty glance told me he fully understood the meaning of "we are all teachers".

We are all students consciously or unconsciously enrolled in the school of life around us, our choice is to lead or follow. 

Hope for Healing Substance Abuse, Addictions



When people can't escape long-term neglect or abuse or they have traumatic loss, the experience gets suppressed in the energy field like a tight knot that can be excruciatingly painful. Not being able to process and release the pain causes people to use substances, such as food, drugs, alcohol, to try to alleviate the pain. 


Trying to stop an addiction without healing the original wound compresses and compounds the problem rather than releasing it.

Removing negative energy and providing the energy you needed when you were wounded, stops pain for long enough for you to become aware of what you are experiencing when you want to “use”… your thoughts, emotions, memories and where it is stored in your body. When suppressed energy is released and processed you vibrate at a higher frequency and your energy field works like a magnet to attract everything you need to heal the original wound and release the addiction.
         
Although miracles can happen, this is not a miracle cure. It’s a method that will support and connect you to the elements you need to release your addiction—this means you still have to do the work! This method can help with post-traumatic stress disorder, please contact me.

Vibration of URGH!

I was cranky yesterday.  I detest vibrating at the level of URGH! 

While I was living in a bubble of chaos, I felt hurt and offended. My untamed thoughts created a story about poor me, which created a brew of unpleasant emotions for me to experience. It coloured my perception,  the word "never"  popped into my vocabulary, my energy vibration tanked to a level of disappointment, which embarrassingly equals ingratitude, and I lived in a bubble of victim consciousness for a few hours...oh poor me!

When I was drowning in raw emotion and thrashing to grab onto thoughts that would rescue me from my self-defeating predicament, a friend's concern and my concern that my yikkie disposition was hurting my friend provided a lifeline that popped me out my mental mess part way through the day.

The vibration of love changed everything. It always does.

I learned a lot

Falling out of contact with gratitude for a few hours disconnected me from joy. Sounds elementary, and in theory it is--the experience of falling from joy into disappointment and coming back into gratitude and joy was profound.

Emotions, and the thoughts that create emotions, create a field of POTENTIAL. The vibration of URGH and disappointment result in words like "never and always". This energy vibration's low potential can only attract experiences to be disappointed about and ungrateful for.

Needless to say, the thoughts and emotions that result in vibrating at the level of love and joy creates a field of POTENTIAL that contains unlimited experiences of love and joy to be grateful for.

This unpleasant experience underlines the necessity of using gratitude as a spiritual tool to lift our vibration into the field of potential called JOY and LOVE. 

Imagine that! 

Energy Medicine, when applied to a person's energy field, automatically raises the person's energy vibration into the realm of higher quality experiences. That is the whole point of Energy Medicine. If I can help you with a bit of distance Energy Rx please contact me via email.

The Universe's New Pattern

Through meditation, prayer, trial and error, impromptu circumstances, great and less-than-great teachers, reading, learning, blood, sweat, and tears, I got very clear on how I want my life to be. 

I made a huge decision, I wrote and spoke my very clear desire into words and released them, I let 'em rip into the laws of creation, into the Universe that always says  "YES", knowing the Universe will align and manifest my desire.

Intentions are energy. Words are energy. Thoughts are energy. My intention and clear decision to experience health, prosperity, success and love requires the entire universe to realign and reform in an entirely new pattern.

What? Chaos? Sometimes radical re-alignment produces chaos. In this case chaos showed up as someone -- yes a real person -- who said NO! 

It felt like a storm inside my brain, like the universe hailed down all the doubts, fears, shame, unworthiness I harboured within myself. URGH! My bruised, helpless, hopeless ego, victim that it is, argued back in my cowardly mind, and, yes, I cried. "Oh, boo-hoo, what choice do I have?"

One answer: 

 My Authentic Powerful Self will choose what I think. 

No matter how many times I have to stop a self-defeating thought and overwrite it with a desireable thought, I choose to think the healthy, life-giving thoughts I thought when I released my decision into the Universe. Okay maybe this shift in what I believe I am worthy of created a bit of chaos in the Universe. I accept responsibility for initiating a major change that has caused whatever opposes me to shake out of my energy field like an earthquake. Knowing my will will manifest with joy and ease, I completely let go of how the Universe creates my good fortune. I know beyond doubt the essential people, elements, and circumstances required to manifest the beautiful life I desire will be attracted and align perfectly for me.

Although I can't control the Universe or the exact way things will turn out, I am doing my part to co-create the best expression of my life by choosing my best thoughts.  I am excited to see how it turns out.

How Energy Medicine, Reiki, Works -- Part. Two

Within the constructs of the good and bad that happens in our lives, how our lives take form and the quality of our lives is created from what we think and believe.

Beliefs are habitual thought patterns laden with pleasant or unpleasant emotions and experiences. Thoughts create emotions. 

The energy of our thoughts, beliefs and emotions create a resonance that attracts conditions with a similar resonance, like attracts like. 

Imagine the energy a temper tantrum or telling some one off attracts (and deflects), as opposed to the energy attracted and deflected when you help someone in need or rock a baby.
