...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.

JUST SAY YES ! ! !

Stuff Happens. Seriously.

        Stuff happens. Not just to you or to me, but to everyone. It's the human condition.

         People get sick, they get injured, they lose their jobs and loved ones, they have breakdowns and crisis. When it hits the fan it doesn't just affect part of us, it affects the wholeness of us and we need a holistic healing response.

          When things happen and we really need to heal  or to have things change in a big way, let's face it, there may be a lot we don't control. The thing we do control is what we think, how we respond & what we do to improve the situation. The Universe does its part, what we think and do is our part.

         When I am blessed to be part of someone's holistic healing journey, I put my 22 years of Reiki and Energy Medicine training coupled with eight years of New Thought & Affirmative Prayer training to work.
         Reiki, even at a great distance, is intelligent energy which penetrates the human energy field and body using ancient symbols and energy vibrations that shift the constructs of disease and distress holistically to promote healing and make good things happen.

Don't Hold Back the Miracle

We don't consciously choose everything that happens to us.

We plant flowers,

but we can't hold back life.

Weeds grow

&

 we experience things we'd didn't choose. 

All we can do is be present now, 

make our highest & best choice,

Say "yes" ...

 & 

Don't hold back the miracle.

             

Mass Murder / Suicide

How do I face New Year's Eve in a city where a single case of domestic violence resulted in the mass murder of nine people? This case of violence is but a reflection of what's going on in way too many hearts and homes, not only domestic violence, but loneliness, loss, addiction, and the gazillion ways we beat the shit out of ourselves  and each other every moment of every day. 

Please let this be the final cry for help, let it be humanity's final call to action. The New Year offers a clean page on which humanity can write a healthy conclusion where people take care of their own and each other's mental, emotional, shitty-life-situational, I-fucked-up,-please-forgive-me, I-can't-take-this-crap-anymore health. 

My heart is with the family and friends who have lost their loved ones. My heart is with all families and friends who have ever lost loved ones to murder or suicide. It's incredibly painful. My heart is with the emergency responders and bystanders who bear witness and pain. We are all in it together, and herein lies the  hope.

Where there is love there is hope, please feel free to contact me.

Hope for Your Million Dollar Insight

My dad called a steady, soaking rain at the beginning of June a "million-dollar rain" for the farmers in our region.

Every year the ever-faithful farmers muster up enough faith to plant their seeds into the dusty soil, somehow they knew a soaking rain would douse the seeds into fertility and life would spring forth under the blessing of a hot sun and blue skies. The prairie would burst into green, before striking gold and a bountiful harvest would pour forth year after year.

We are like farmers. Our thoughts are seeds we plant into the soil of our subconscious mind. We prepare the soil of our subconscious with forgiveness, love, affirmative prayer, Truth, and spiritual practice to our highest capacity within collective consciousness. Like one wheat seed produces a multitude of wheat seeds, our thoughts burgeon forth, overflowing and producing forms, experiences and conditions bearing the likeness to the thoughts we planted, and we reap the good we sowed.

What my Dad referred as a "million dollar rain", seeding in desolate conditions, preparing the soil, having faith, and expecting a bountiful harvest, was a blueprint for how to incubate million dollar ideas. Thanks Dad!

On the day of my birth you were my gift.

Happy Birthday Dad.

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. 

Hope, Magic, Miracles: The Law of Attraction

The Internet works like the law of attraction. 

Search words represent your desire. Clicking "send" releases your desire into the law of attraction. The Internet locates and brings what you desire to your awareness. Your job is to do something about it.

This is the Universe's recipe for hope, magic and miracles: Request, release, receive, react.

You are here: Do something!

Now matter how slim the chances,

someone has beaten the odds:

You are that someone.

Embrace complete success as the only truth.

You know what to do.

Take the next step.

There is always hope.

The Science of Hope

People are made of and powered by energy. A person may be sick now but the energy they are made of is malleable and changeable, and so there is hope. 

Einstein said "Energy is neither created nor destroyed", and therein lies the hope: What is created now will be re-created. Re-forming and redirecting energy is the frontier of energy medicine. It aligns "what is" with the vibration of "what can be". This is a mega dose of hope.

If you feel like you are a lost cause or a hopeless case and you want to give energy medicine a try, please email.

There's always hope.

Reiki'ing & Retraining an Abused Dog Update

It's been about 18 months since Meeko came to live with us.

Meeko, a 3 year-old abuse victim, had the opportunity to make life better for himself and he capitalized on it.

Although he was scared poopless because he was beaten in every other home, he opened his heart to the love and Reiki we offered him.

He traded good behaviour for treats, walks, and playing ball. His self-esteem soared with his success and the rewards of success. Regardless how long he needs to "hold it" he does.

At 4 1/2 years old Meeko's success demonstrates that if a doggie can seize an opportunity and turn his life around so can we. 

Your concern and well-wishes for Meeko over the past 18 months has made a difference, thank you!

May you be blessed with the wisdom to see and the ability seize opportunity now and always!

Give your trouble to me

Holding a negative belief, such as I cant do it, is akin to holding your breath while holding a huge boulder in front of yourself. Try as it might, the universe respects and works according to our beliefs, it cannot go over, under or through the barriers we hold true about ourselves.

Here's a plan: let it go! There can never be a void in the Universe, there can only be exchange of one energy for another.

What do you want to exchange for what you've got?  See it as yours now, see it as accomplished and already done. Scary?  Can't have it? Impossible? Never happen? Not for you? Of course when you block the very good you want by holding onto a huge, solid block it won't happen.

Let go! 

How? When you imagine and experience your desire as done, what's holding you back will come forth as a belief, thought or circumstance coupled with emotion, such as fear. Now you know. This is the "thing" you must exchange so the universe can provide the circumstance and experience you desire.

Grab onto your fully formed desire and do what you need to do to release the block and embrace your good and let it overwrite your life..

Cinsider this: Give me your block. Energy Medicine can help facilitate this process. When i physically remove the block something good has to take its place. There is no choice. It is the law of the universe. Get in touch with me via email, lets make something good happen for each other today.
