The Journey of a Weighted Soul

Part III of III.

Brushing the mirror; I was making it happen! I just had lap-band surgery to “fix” my over eating problem once and for all. My ego was happy and my spirit-soul was keeping back as it often does during testing, quiet, observant.

I lost weight like gangbusters… dropping like a ton of brick but I was so very sick. At times it felt like I couldn’t even drink water without dry heaving and gagging. Something was wrong. At the clinic the doctor kept saying, “Try not to over eat because it will hurt you very badly”. But I wasn’t eating at all it seemed. I dropped 100 pounds in 8 months all the while thoroughly miserable and quite insane I must admit. I felt there was something up so I went back to have the band checked. I noticed the doctor looked shocked at my appearance and made an adjustment to the band that I did not ask for… he opened it all the way, rendering it useless to keep any weight off at all that way. Unfortunately I remained very ill for reasons unknown to me at the time.

During this time I met a man that I fell head over heels in love with, and if you’ve been on this earth very long you know that people attract the same sort of persons that they are predominately. So yes, he was unhappy and nuttier than squirrel poo! So I sat about “keeping company” with this man adding to an already volatile situation within my person. I became so attached to him that it was as unhealthy as my physical situation. Soon he grew disgusted with my clingy-ness and continued sickness and moved to another state in pursuit of his own dreams. I was devastated at that time and what little bit remained of my pride and my mind left with him.

Nothing after that satisfied me. Not caring anymore I discovered I could drink a great deal of calories with no problems (thank you Starbucks) and I went about medicating myself in the way I knew best. Eighty of my 100 lost pounds found me again. But for the first time in my adult life I truly didn’t give a crap if I was ever considered physically attractive by anyone pass the ice cream please.

Soon enough I found solid food stayed down better than before and after a brief call to the doctor I found out why. He admitted to opening the band as wide as it would go. A procedure I did not request. I no longer trusted him and haven’t spoken with him since.

A deeper depression than I have ever known took me. Death was something I thought about often. The love for my children, friends and family kept me earth side but only “just”. I thought about the desire of getting hit by a car, while out an about, more often than I cared to admit.

And now at Christmas 2008 after years of giving up on the notion of dying ~ I get my wish. ~

It had been a few years since being desperately emotionally ill enough to want to die so you can imagine my surprise when the last thing I remember in 2008 was wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and opening my eyes 3 weeks later after being in a coma.

I had contracted bacterial spinal meningitis and my brain swelled within my skull to the point of shut down. I had an enlightening death experience… something I found interesting (in hindsight). But my family, my mother in particular, was not impressed with it, sorry mom. After waking and being put in my own room, I kept thinking “Oh I’ve been hit by a truck I just know it!” but was told (repeatedly) “no you’ve been ill”. Oh well hmmm whatever gets the job done I guess.

I will write about my death experience in a separate install. Now here I am 6 years into recovery and it’s taken every bit of that time to work my way back into walking, talking and cognitive thinking (memory is still a bit of an issue). My mother moved me up here to the mountains to keep an eye on me and to give me less stress and time to come back to myself. But I’ve done more than that. I haven’t come back to myself… I’ve come back to someone totally different. A more spiritual person, so I’ve been told, the pieces of the puzzle slip into place now. The healing practices I use to just read about I practice on a more personal, intimate level to the point of being obnoxious. But I don’t care ha ha. I no longer wish to get hit by a car or go anywhere right now… how refreshing.

The Journey of a Weighted Soul Part II.

How far did I go out from source anyway?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most of my early teen and adult life felt panicky and confusing yet I didn’t fall for a lot of information presented to me by what one would call “mainstream media”. Going through experimentation with drugs didn’t take up a long period of my life. I discovered, very quickly, mood altering substances, while interesting and entertaining, were not a cure for loneliness and confusion. Smoking cigarettes and over eating were the only two addictions that stuck with me. So when it came to visiting the medical doctor about problems most of the time the prescription he wrote for me would wind up in the trash at home.

I wanted help but had not an ounce of trust left within me. I saw too many people suffering the same fate as I and their trust in modern treatments just made things worse for them.

I was fascinated with herbal studies since young childhood. My grandmother Evans could grow anything anywhere which fascinated me even more. I carried around a copy of “Back To Eden” by Jethro Kloss and read it until the book fell apart. Also, the works of Edgar Cayce I found extremely interesting (I thank my mother for this. She left these books lying around the house for me to find)… there was more to this life than pain and heart break and I knew it! A winning concept but how to apply the concept in the real physical flesh and in the messy world? The concepts of all the things I would study on spirituality would stay as just that: concepts. Pretty words in print that I continued to believe in but had not a clue how to apply to my daily physical life. Making simple things more complicated was the name of my game. So I didn’t even know what a proper spiritual practice looked like.

By the time I was in my early 20s these big holes within my emotional and spiritual body started becoming an issue as I put on a great deal of weight; trying to fill those holes the best way I knew how, with food. Go forward 20 years, one failed marriage and two children later saw me at the age of 40, at a height of 5’2 and weighing in at 240 pounds. My health was in danger. Years of chain smoking, depression, binge eating and fad dieting had finally taken its toll and I felt and looked much older than 40.

{One day around the age of 37-38, I highly suspect I suffered a heart attack. I was outside goofing off with a young cousin and was trying to “keep up” with her playing around. Suddenly there was a pain in my chest and arm I had never felt before. Nauseated and dizzy I went inside and sat in a chair for about an hour until the pain subsided. I got up, slowly put in a load of laundry to wash and started supper. I said nothing but stored the event in my mind. A little taste of death. It hurt like hell but didn't frighten me at all, just the opposite. I was intrigued a bit and thought of death often after that; not in a depressed suicidal way but it was a pivotal moment of something strange.}

All the herbal and alternative healing studies remained stubbornly out of practical application for reasons unknown at the time so I decided to “brush the mirror”.

*Brushing the mirror”: applying an outside, most of the time mechanical, solution to an internal problem.

So after much thought and online research (not enough thought and online research) and through great desperation, I decided to have lap-band surgery. A lap-band is a removable device surgically wrapped around the top of the stomach with a “port” that is used to open and close off the stomach making it hard to over eat. It worked too… for about a year. Then all hell broke loose.

The Journey of a Weighted Soul

2014-12-29T14:33:00.002-08:00

A three part personal story about emotional over eating. I'm hoping it helps.

Wikipedia’s definition of eating disorder:

“Eating disorder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eating disorders are psychological illnesses defined by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individual's physical and mental health.”

My definition of eating disorder:

Subconsciously programmed eating habits installed from the age of birth to around 5 years of age. These habits, (a need to self medicate due to spiritual emptiness) backed by emotional stimuli, are written in stone until consciously removed by the owner of said program and new habits, backed by emotional stimuli, are installed.

Thus my journey begins….

~ A History

We are born to 1. Observe 2. Learn and 3. Store. That is why speech is one of the last things to develop within our beginnings as humans. The rub of this fact is: we are doing all three with the mentality of new beings, with only our immediate family/care-givers as examples. As a baby born into a family from the south, where food means love, I was no different than a lot of little girls in my 1960s rural area.

This is the first in a three part “short story” of sorts so no super deep details about my family will be included with this writing at this time. But being the good human I am, after my birth I set myself to task with the beginning three... observe, learn and store: 1. Observing my fellow females in their interaction with the males of the household. 2. Learning from them how to react to certain stimuli (food is a great comfort when angry, unhappy, unloved, or just plain bored with the mundane day to day!) 3. I stored all this info away in that wonderful tool, ‘The Subconscious Mind’ allowing it to run in the background of my life… and so

~ I was turned loose on the world.

Actually I was turned loose within my community first. A community of people that was raised very closely to the way my brother and I were raised: turned loose to set in {{concrete}} my programming with such emotional stimuli as heartbreak and triumphs…. with fear and love amongst my peers. And now it’s how one interprets that “raise’n” that sets one apart.

Do not think for one minute that I blame my family for the events and the way things turned out in my life, I do not: pass the buck, cast blame or feel any bitterness toward anyone in my family or in my life circumstance past or present!

Somewhere inside of me I stored away my own personal interpretation of the statement: “You cannot be loved based on just being. You have to pay for love because it’s valuable and nothing of value is free!

Things that feel like love:

~Any type of food that tastes good, steak, ice cream, ham and cheese sandwiches, pies (all kinds), candy (most all kinds) I think I’ve covered all the food groups here…. Yeah I did.

~ Any type of substance that promotes “alternative awareness”, alcohol (most all kinds), shrooms, pot, cigarettes (two packs a day), crank (not crack I’m talking late 1980s here people), acid (didn’t care for it so that was a onetime thing) cocaine (cared for too much so that was a onetime thing…) ah and of course

~Any type of soda you could think of, coke, sprite, Dr. Pepper (personal favorite) etc etc…

~Any type of attention. Negative or positive for any reason what so ever.

~Any type of lying down reading, t.v. watching, sex (sex felt like love or sometimes I thought I could pay for love with sex). I didn’t know really. I was clueless or there was some sort of “learning disability” going on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

But one owns the programs and the personal interpretations of those programs that are given and installed. This is true for all of us… it's the starting point or “0 point”. It’s the hero’s journey. To find your way to the light with as much love and humanity as you can muster is the task set before all of us.

So now you see I had the necessary items for a wonderful recipe of depression, misunderstanding and a lonely life…. a true departure from God. And now with a bit of fearful panic... the path back to the light must be set upon.

....To be continued.

Resisting Rest

2014-12-02T16:25:00.000-08:00

Inspiration comes in many forms … seems, so far, I only recognize that which smacks me upside the head like a rude bully on the playground. But hey that’s learning see? Pain is resistance to change and change is what it’s all about. There would be no pain if we (I) could learn to release and let go…. But no, permanent trenches can be seen dug into the earth, where at certain points in my past I was dragged kicking and screaming into the most innocent of lessons. And at the tender age of 49 one would think it would be understood already? Well, I have an awareness of the “letting go” concept and knowledge is power…. It looks good on paper doesn’t it?

The business I had the good fortune at which to work for the past five and a half years closed its doors for good in mid October 2014. I’ve been and continue to be on what my friend has called a “sabbatical” until Jan. 2015 I will not punch a clock or work for anyone else but myself at this time. Needless to say the trenches that are being dug as I write this are getting pretty damn deep! Resisting rest is liken to its rowdy, drunken sister “resisting arrest” and it causes one to get pretty beat up by it all.
So now there is beauty found in a new and improved meditation practice. There is new passion for research projects done properly and without hurry. And a peace found in small jobs around the house… satisfaction in a domestic task well done. While my resistance peels away layer by layer; the heels of my tired feet dig in less and less until all that is felt is gentle cool grass between my toes.
~ I could get use to this

Practice, practice practice

July 22nd, Tuesday where am I?
Ah yes, at home... am I at our local community theater making and fitting costumes as I have been doing for a while now? NOPE! I'm home!!!! Thank goodness. Our community production of "Little Mermaid" is in it's final prep stages and a dress rehearsal is going on right now. My 13 year old son is playing the role of 'Chef Louis' and is having fun looking forward to the end. He and I both won't know what to do with ourselves once this Sunday's last curtain call has come and gone. But for now we have four shows ahead of us and I've reworked Ariel's mermaid costume until it dances in my dreams at night. This little seamstress is petered out. Opening night is this Thursday. Let's rock.
I'll be back.

The Dead and Dying

2011-01-19T10:03:00.000-08:00

Okay at first it was concern; then after pacing around for a few minutes in a negative funk I got a little pissy about it. I'm referring to the Forbes article I read this morning about the top 10 dying career paths... (I am on two of the listed career paths) if you haven't viewed it yet please go here: Declining Careers :-(

Not Surprised

Ah, but you know I wasn't too surprised about the alternative healing practices. There is a great deal of interest in hypnosis, acupressure/acupuncture and many other methods. But not everyone has the income to pay out of pocket for something they're interested in but don't fully understand. I have made it my personal quest to explore many of these healing modalities since I was a young girl. I started with an interest in herbal medicine at around age 14. But it was clear to me from day one that people in general, while interested, would still take a pill rather than play with tapping meridian points and searching for root causes of their illnesses. Concerning hypnosis as a career path there are many ways to "adapt" and if we give up our healing knowledge I'm here to tell you that we are seriously SCREWED. So do keep that in mind when your family doctor whips out his prescription pad before you finish telling him about your aliments... remember it when reading the long list of side effects on that prescription medicine your doctor just gave you. And keep in mind when you hear that most alternative treatments aren't covered by insurance: chiropractic care was once considered an alternative treatment... now most insurance companies cover it and it's viewed as a wonderful therapy. I've spent a tremendous amount of time effort and money to educate myself on different healing practices. Medical specialist saved my life two years ago when I was in the hospital with bacterial meningitis so I don't want anyone getting the idea that I'm ungrateful or hypocritical. They used drugs on me that had names I couldn't pronounce and when written, took up about three inches of type on a page. My brain was so swollen inside my skull I didn't have the ability to protest much of anything that was happening to me. I really didn't give a crap at that point anyway. Would I have preferred an alternative treatment other than IV steroids and whatever other chemicals they put in my veins? Sure but who was trained in such a treatment? And during the initial panic of seizures and coma what would a healer employee? As a natural healer I don't touch those kinds of illnesses with a ten foot pole! Medical doctors, high tech medicines and hospitals have my respect and gratitude. But come on people most of us live in a happy medium... we're not dying but we don't feel well either and it's at this point that we should search for answers for ourselves in the forms of alternative wellness and healing practices.

True Heartbreak

I think I'm more heartbroken over the seamstress career being there on the dying list. I have a love/dislike relationship with sewing. My grandma Evans use to put little scraps of fabric in my lap when I was about 8 or 9 years old.... I was shown how to sew these together, and then she put the pieces together as a quilt. I remember watching my mom sew skirts and blouses... it was funny to me how the paper patterns didn't look anything like the garment but when you put them all together it all fit so neatly! As soon as I had money I bought material and patterns too and started making stuff for myself... it was: aggravating, fun, confusing and all in all satisfying. Sadly I don't know many girls or boys today that bother learning to sew. If ya can go to Walmart or Target and get a shirt for $5.00 why bother right? I'm here to tell you it's attractive to me as well; see something cute on the rack... it's a great deal, buy it. Simple. There is this thing to it though, and it's kinda "dark". Do you know why it's so cheap? In a nut shell it's because the person that sewed that garment wasn't paid a living wage to sew it. This means the person is working for hours and hours and at the end of the week they still can't afford to pay for food, shelter or even the clothes that they sew to begin with. It is my opinion that we shouldn't support companies that operate these low wage factories BUT without those jobs what would those employees do? Talk about your catch 22 huh?

Conclusion

I'm going to keep practicing and studying alternative healing. Also, I will teach it to my children and anyone that I can out run and hold down. It is my firm belief that we need to be able to heal ourselves of persistent pain and disease without becoming pharmaceutical guinea pigs.

I'm going to keep sewing home decor (goooooo Ken and Kerri♥) clothing and crafts. I will teach it to my children and anyone that I can out run and hold down. It is my firm belief that along with building homes and growing food, we need to be able to clothe ourselves without enlisting slave labor from other countries.

Energy, Homeopathic and herbal healing part 1

2011-01-08T19:16:00.000-08:00

This is part one of these healing modalities. It has everything to do with energy which is another word for vibration

~♥

~ Vibrations

On a day to day basis I’ve noticed the ups and downs of my mood and emotions. No, I don’t suffer from bi-polar disorder or any one of the ever popular personality disorders; rather catching and managing personal vibration levels is what I’m really doing. I consider it my job as a person living on the face of this earth and I take this job very seriously because it doesn’t just involve me it’s for everyone.

Everything vibrates: if it’s a fast vibration the object is fluid, if the vibration is slow the object is solid. There are variations of vibrations therefore there are variations of objects: rocks, water, trees, animals, humans, feelings, moods, emotion, everything… if it doesn’t vibrate is doesn’t exist.

Look at your body, feel it. Your body for the most part is flexible. Soft in some places, hard yet yielding in other places. Look at your mood and basic personality. Is it light and flexible? Or is it hard, unmoving and rigid? Ever notice how things that are rigid break easily, while the flexible items change and flex with manipulation and therefore remain strong and whole? I’ll leave you with these concepts in your awareness while I explain the following exercises that I enjoy doing.

~ Catching Judgments

Go to your local grocery store and grab a cart (I’m from the south so I call it a buggy). Sometimes I really do shop but sometimes I just look around at the multi-colored packages, walk around stretch my legs and look at all the people. This is a wonderful thing to do during the winter time; it helps with the blues. Do this, just look at all the people. Don’t stare like a crazy person and don’t start up a conversation with anyone unless you know them and not talking to them would seem rude. Do you see women, men and children? Are they short, tall, fat, skinny, baggy, dressed funny, dressed nice, messy hair, no hair etc. etc.? These are judgments. Can you look at a person and have no comment? Can you look at a screaming child and allow that child just to be without internal dialog? But what if my thoughts are positive? Oh she’s pretty or he’s dressed nice; oh look at that adorable baby! Positive thoughts are nice but they are still judgments and with those innocent but positive judgments you are not letting that person, place or thing “be” there without your permission. This exercise is a good one for promoting inner peace. It’s peaceful NOT to have a comment (good or bad). It’s peaceful NOT to have an inner opinion or outer reaction (good or bad). Did you see how much milk has went up in price? Did this make you angry? While you’re at it you can go on an internal commentary about how unjust all these price hikes are because you can’t remember the last time you got a raise. There is no peace in this commentary, it helps nothing. This is an exercise that helps with those times when you are listening to family; friends or co-workers argue and be drama queens and kings. The exercise is to promote peace within yourself and when you are at peace you vibrate peace then other peace filled people and situations draw close to you. When one asks “Yes the world is in a mess but what can I do”? This is it. Be a promoter of peace. Be Peace. Be it. Show it. Do it in every area of your life… (This means have no judgment) everyone will sense it and see it and do it for themselves. It’ll spread like wild fire. Don’t worry if you get really good at this, it will not turn you into an emotionless zombie caring for nothing and no one. This tendency to judge stays with us forever. The goal is to experience what it’s like to turn it off and rest.

Once you practice turning it off every day for a while you may find your sense of humor enhanced in different ways and the things you once found funny no longer tickle you like they did and on the other hand you may find a lot of things just plain hilarious. That leads me to the other exercise I like to do that involves lightening my vibration and maintaining my flexibility.

~ The Giggle Factor

Being at peace and being happy might be two different things. Peace leads to happiness as far as I can tell. Happiness and Peace must be sisters. I know it certainly helps to maintain that “on the outside objectivity”. But remember your dominant vibration draws other situations and people to you that vibrate very much the same. So knowing this re-visit those things that make you giggle and smile. I do this because I want to giggle and smile more often and it "pulls" more people to me that giggle and smile as well. So these are the times in my life I find myself smiling suddenly or times during a sense of happiness and pure contentment. This is my list but what makes a person “happy” is highly personal. Sit and think for a while. What are things that make you happy?

~ I’m happy and content

When I’m chopping veggies or preparing an evening meal in the kitchen and I can hear the news on the TV in the background.
When I catch a whiff of wood smoke on a cool crisp fall day
When waking up in the morning with absolutely nothing to do but to go back to sleep for another hour.
When my two sons are in the same room together and they are laughing their butts off about something.
When receiving a good pay check.
When thinking of good writing subjects
When listening to my oldest son belly laugh
When watching puppies playing on the grass in the spring
When smelling fresh cut grass
When grilling out on a quiet summer day with soft music playing from the open window
When going for a long walk on a rarely used back road
When watching a favorite show or movie on TV
When chatting with a friend in a small coffee shop or while sitting at my kitchen table.

These things mean comfort, happiness and contentment to me. I focus on these every day. When you clear your mind and have no judgments, you’ll find more instances like these. When you recognize these feelings make a mental note then write them down before going to bed. Be gentle and non judgmental of yourself first and foremost. Have fun, feel good and raise those vibrations.

Mediums and Spirit Contact

2011-01-07T09:58:00.000-08:00

A do it yourself approach.

Now keep in mind; these blogs are FYI for your information. You make up your own mind and the little links you see on these are suggested reading (both books and web links). Having stated this; are we ready to learn a little bit about mediums?

How many ways can one type “be careful”? Be careful with your feelings, your heart and your wallet. Everyone wants to be special. To have a special unusual ability sets one apart from the masses and keeps the ego feeling satisfied. A medium is a person who “taps into” the spirit world and contacts the dearly departed or other dimensional beings for advice and communication. Although, why a person would want advice from someone from another dimension about this dimension is beyond me. Perhaps it would be more prudent to hire a life coach? Please don’t think I’m poking fun at the art of medium-ship! I personally spent long hours on and off for the past six years studying and practicing this meditative exercise, just out of shear curiosity. I just wanted to learn more about my dimension and others out there too. Medium-ship is a meditative art form. The reason I say to be careful about hiring a medium is the same reason I would advise you to be careful about hiring an accountant or a babysitter. At least with them you can look to see where they went to school. Mediums usually claim to be “born” not “made” or trained.

Remote viewing: “Remote viewing is a mental faculty that allows a perceiver (a "viewer") to describe or give details about a target that is inaccessible to normal senses due to distance, time, or shielding”.

Knowing what I know about remote viewing: The U.S. government trained people to remote view targets during the cold war. You can have the psychic ability of a duck and still learn to remote view. One person that is famous for his remote viewing technique is Major Ed Dames. The more you practice the developed process the better you become. So knowing this about a process that is obviously practical, trainable and learnable you would think other “psychic abilities” would be trainable: the key word here is “able”. Having said this why wouldn’t one be able to learn how to become a medium?

I spent most of the summer of 2005 heavily exploring this and more recently I have set up IADC sessions on and off as I have time and privacy. I have two suggested readings for you on this topic. One is a web page by Raymond Moody using mirrors. And the other is a book by Dr. Allen Botkin called Induced after Death Communication (IADC). * If you type IADC in Google it links up with a site about mud equipment manuals, among other interesting things. Yes, this has been around for the past 15+ years but Google has as of yet to recognize it. Just thought that was and interesting bit of info*

Dr. Botkin was treating post traumatic war veterans with a popular but new rapid eye movement therapy (EMDR) and found out the soldiers were turning into mediums during their rapid eye movement healing sessions; communicating with the people who they had killed as enemies during battle, among others. This, in turn, relieved their stresses and nightmares, putting them on track to healing faster than traditional “talk” therapy. For a more detailed description please feel free to browse Dr. Botkin’s site. In that summer of 2005 I practiced both of these methods as a combined experiment. I set up my mirror, chose my target, (departed love one) thought about the target along with rapid eye movements and relaxed “gazing” (please refer to Moody’s site). The results were alarmingly vivid at first, then I got more comfortable with the process and as I grew more comfortable my success dropped.

EMDR is a rapid eye movement therapy; it's like dreaming except you are awake and fully conscious. A person thinks of the thing that bothers them the most. Examples: a rape, childhood abuse, robbery, battle, even selfishness or heartbreak over lost love. They feel this pain, remember it as if it were happening right then. As they bring this pain into their “now” they follow their right forefinger from slightly lower left (around jaw line) to slightly upper right (tip of eyebrow), in consistent motion, within their visual limits, without moving the head. Just move your finger back and forth about four times. Don’t move your head; just your eyes. This is processing, this is only one of the ways a person can experience releasement. It takes about 60 seconds. Years worth of talk therapy… EMDR takes approx. 60 seconds. Yeah.

As you can see these subjects I’ve listed are tied together very nicely. You practice one you get another. In order to practice after death communication you have to learn to “let go” or release. Release the need of it, the importance of it. Let it flow. This is why my success declined; I needed to practice releasing.

So do you have an interest in this? Are you afraid or curious? I don’t think I’m the only one who has ever combined these two “medium techniques" together but I do have some advice for success and continued results and it involves releasement. As stated earlier (and I can’t repeat it enough) Releasement is to let go of the importance of it. Botkin found that when the same client tried to achieve the same successful communication result it was harder if not impossible to repeat it consistently. Letting go of sadness and grief, self imposed guilt and shame relaxes your body and mind. You can even “let go” of the need to communicate with your chosen target or your dearly departed. This letting go process is key to continued success. My personal opinion of this: I think our ego gets in the way of doing great things in the end.

Any remote viewer or anyone with highly developed ESP will tell you that the more personal and emotionally involved in a situation they are, the more clouded their abilities become. Feelings maybe the universal language but too much of a good thing will shut down the abilities to see what is really there.

So be careful with your feelings they can cloud your God-given gift to “know”. Be careful with your heart; practice releasement as much as possible. Even if it’s just getting pissed off about silly things: release it right away. Last but not least, be careful with your wallet. Don’t pay someone to do something for you that you can do yourself…. ~If you have the nerve

Ta Ta for now. Up next #11. Energy, homeopathic and herbal healing practices. (This might turn into an anti-pharmaceutical rant or maybe not; I don’t know yet ha).

Love Ms.A

This is where it begins.

Well that took a while and I had to have some help from my friend Mrs. B. Thank you Mrs. B, me love you long time!

The Barefoot Path is a beautiful spiritual path that some say is smooth without stones with warm grass on which to walk. I, on the other hand, did not find this true at first. I placed myself upon it, saw a little way ahead, tried to come back and found that someone had locked the gate behind me. ~damn it.

Well I'm going to start out full blast and just tell ya a little bit about myself. I enjoy all things "other-worldly" I've been known to spend six months researching mirror glazing or trespassing through old houses with camera and recorder in hand hoping to get pictures of orbs (my favorite) or audios of EVPs (electronic voice phenomenon). I spent some time in 2005 getting my hypnotherapy license and studied for a D.D. in spiritual healing arts which I use to this day. When I use to work nights, ten years, I was an avid listener of coast to coast am; a whole radio show dedicated to the unusual. This is what spiced up my life and made the work experience better and more palatable for me. I've had some very strange experiences even before listening to "coast". So what I would like to do to make my first blog on "Blogger" more informational and concise is list all the things in which I have grown to believe over my life time, just right off the bat. This way one subject will be chosen and I will let you, the reader, know my experiences involving that subject. Sometimes I might write about somethings that are not on the list. On the other hand I may believe in a subject and have no person experience with it, in which case I will research it and write my findings. Sounds good to me.

~The List~

EFT
Psychic abilities
Ghosts
Other Dimensions
Hypnosis
Vibrational healing
Magic: words, wands, and spells
Tarot cards
Remote viewing
Mediums and Spirit contact
Most all energy, homeopathic and herbal healing practices
Manifesting
The Sedona Method
Kabbalah
EMDR

Okay I think this will do to begin with. If you have heard of other subjects you would like to discuss and they aren't listed here let me know in the comments section. My goal is to choose one of these subjects and give my honest opinion of it and also, to show how to work it into ones everyday life OR if it pays to work it in at all. Soooooo I think I'll choose number 10: Mediums and Spirit contact. Thanks for reading.
