Biodynamic Cranialsacral Therapy

Yesterday, I had the honor of receiving Biodynamic Cranialsacral Therapy. It's a light touch to the body from the feet to the head that seeks to realign the body, bringing it to overall health.

I lay face up on a massage table, relaxed yet excited at the same time. The practitioner, Jaclyn, began by  bringing her focus onto establishing an overall tranquility to herself and the room. Once she felt centered, she lightly touched my feet. I readily felt nurtured and supported. For the next hour, she gently placed her hands alongside my body, making her way up to the crown of my head. 

Along the way, I could feel my body letting go of old energy that had been harboring yucky gunk, weighing me down. My body reacted by jerking as the negativity was released, especially at my neck. The intensity of the feelings grew as the minutes ticked by. 

In my mind's eye, I saw what looked like one of the aliens from the movie Close Encounters of The Third Kind. It came from within my body and sat up. It was different from the creature in the movie in that there was no face, it resembled a rubbery skeleton and it matched the length of my body. I thought it might leave my body, that it was not a part of me Thinking it could be something negative, I sought to concentrate my body in pushing it out, . But then, as it was not leaving me, I switched to simply watching it. Eventually, it tucked back into me.

I don't know what it was, but it seemed to be peaceful. My intuition says whatever negative energy that had been keeping it 'dirty' had been cleansed through the cranial work. 

I still don't know what it was. Could I be hosting an alien? Am I a transport system for an outside source, conducting research on the earth? Is NASA going to call me in for lab tests, or searching for one of their creatures missing from some secret UFO holding grounds? Should I answer the front door if men in black suits come to call? Oh, the conspiracy theories will be out of control soon. 

Or maybe it was an image of my spirit, poking out of my body and checking out the surroundings? I may never know.

At the end of the session, Jaclyn said she suspected that the frequent jerking of my neck may be some pent up blocked energy from my time in-utero. Could be some birthing trauma. I don't know if forceps were used to get me out of the birth canal but would be a plausible explanation.

The session has left me with questions that may never be answered. As with much in life, a bit of mystery keeps the curiosity stirring. 

Overall, the experience left me feeling cleansed, peaceful and full of joy. If you decide to try it out, don't expect to react as I did. I often jerk when unwanted energy leaves my body, often in meditation. Everyone feels things differently. What I suspect is that you will come away with is a deep, peaceful feeling. If you do get Biodynamic Cranialsacral Therapy, let me know how it went for you. It's always a hoot to hear how others perceive similar situations. 

And if you do find an alien in your body, we can look out for NASA agents together!

Meditate For Answers

 

Meditation sucks out distracting thoughts and outside stimulants like a vacuum over a dirty carpet. Once cleaned, mind quiet, and your focus within, you can be lead into a place of peace. I often see within a river that I slip into, glide in, and finally plunge into a clear pool of water. Or, a path that I walk in that leads to a field of flowers and a tree or rock to sit comfortably on. There can also be a pure stillness, a weightless, black, peaceful nothingness. No gravity, no thought, no limitations, no emotion, no judgment, no time. Your way to inside tranquility may be one of the above options, or something specific to you. The goal is reposefulness, not what the particulars of it consist of.

This emptiness disregards time. You must be totally present, not hitting yourself with what has already been happened. There is a huge Do Not Enter Sign for past failings. Once there, you have the freedom to imagine a greater tomorrow.

Before meditation, you can ask questions like what are good ways to:

·         attract friends, finances, a lover

·         have a more fulfilling career or retirement

·         bring forth ideas for a business project

·         be a better parent

·         serve humanity

·         find purpose

·         be more healthy

The answers may come as images, ideas, feelings or words. Often, they’re not in ways you would expect. You may hear to be more loving, thankful for what you have, make peace with someone you have been in conflict with, forgive yourself. If they’re answers phrased in a way you hadn’t thought of before, listen closely. These are the ideas that will yield the best fruit

You may also hear or see nothing at all. This is likely when your vibration is being adjusted to meet that which you are asking for. To attract a relationship that will bring you great joy, you need to first be in the same vibration. You can’t be distrusting and angry, and attract a healthy partner. The resonations need to match. Trust that you are being heard, it just may be in a way you don’t understand.

Your response could also be coming after the meditation. It could come as unsolicited advice, an overheard conversation, a magazine article. If you suddenly feel like you just heard the solution you've been craving, you have. The Universe is constantly working to help you achieve joy. Trust in this, and the power of meditation to be a clear line of communication to voice and receive your preferences. 

Meditation brings profound peace. A peace that can be carried into your life. The more often you are able to go inside, the more tranquility you will experience every day.

Unleash Your Will Freely

 

Do you have free will? Are you in control of your thoughts? Can you choose to be happy?

You know you have free will if you:

·         Are not an ant obeying a queen

·         Can make a choice, even if it will hurt

·         Can dream, imagine, envision, and picture things in your head

It can be argued that there are instances in which free will is impossible. Prisoners, victims of violent crimes, dead-end jobs that are needed to pay rent.  There are extreme challenges. But you can make the choice to be at peace.

Free will is more than getting to choose a tuna sandwich over a Cobb salad. It is also about deciding the attitude you want to approach your life. Make difficulties into challenges with the opportunity for long-term growth. Such as: declaring a long wait at the Department of Motor Vehicles as a chance to read a book, play computer games on your phone, meditate with your eyes open, make a game out of imagining the job of all others in line.

Many years ago, I went to a play documenting the two experiences of two men who had both been kidnapped for political reasons and imprisoned overseas. For several years, they lived in the same facility, and endured the same harsh treatment. Fantastic play but what got me was hearing from the two men afterward. They spoke of their feelings as prisoners, and their attitudes when released and returned to their families.

The first man was anxious, angry, bitter toward his captors. When he got home, he could not shake the feeling of injustice that had been done to him. He remained deeply unhappy. The second man accepted what had happened. He felt he had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. I’m sure he had moments of anger but his overriding thoughts were to not take this personally. He chose to surrender through his time, hoping to eventually return to his family.

As you have probably guessed, it was the second man who appeared happier, more relaxed, at peace. I’m not sure if I could have been as enlightened as he was. That is a huge heaping of mashed potatoes to swallow. But it does reveal the extent to which free will can benefit us. You can choose how you want to perceive a situation. You have the choice to be at peace with circumstances beyond your control.

It is when we are at a peaceful state that creative thought can thrive. Flowers bloom better in cared for soil. Being stressed brings focus on the negativity. It’s like a mesh chain surrounding you and keeping out imaginative solutions to difficulties.

Next time you find yourself focused on the negative, take three deep breaths. Remember that you have the free will to change your thoughts to peace. From there you are open to receiving creative solutions, and ideas.

Freedom to choose peace leads to openness to creativity.

Oracle Cards Guide Inward

An oracle was once restricted to a priest or priestess . They were our medium for gathering advice from god. Nowadays, we have stretched this human limitation to include oracle cards. Rather then traveling to the homes, hermitages or mountain tops in search of spiritual guidance, you can buy illustrated packs to answer your questions. A path made easy with the flip of a card.

Those who have been traveling the spiritual path may find cause to argue here. God is within us. All the guidance we need can be found in that still, quiet, inner voice. Meditation, living in the now, staying aware, all of these already show us the way to a happier life. This is all true. But the issue is that these things are not always easy to follow. We are often blind to our own third eye. The constant chatter of our unrelenting ego, that inner dialogue that is often on repeat, can be hard to ignore.

And so, bring in the hero disguised as a deck of oracle cards. This is not contradictory to knowing that goddess wisdom is available to us all, directly. The thing is, these cards are simply a way for us to cut through the clutter of our mind's chatter and hear ourselves out. Goddess speaks constantly, cards being one of them.

Some cards have the ability to show where you were, are now, and will be in the future. In presenting the past, we can glean information about what we have been doing. This morning, I drew a card that said I had opened a treasure chest. In reflecting on the past year, I realized the many treasures that I had accumulated in 2020. Mainly, that I had received much of what I had asked for at the beginning of the year. I took the opportunity to be thankful for my manifestations. 

When listening to the cards regarding the present, it can be helpful to ask a question before choosing the card. This serves as a guide that can direct answers to exactly what you want to know. It lessens ambiguity. Or your question can be simply, 'what will bring me the greatest joy?'.

Any card that reveals your future is not set in stone. There is no inescapable fate. What it can expose to view is the path you're on now. This is extremely helpful because you may or may not want the revelation. If shown something you don't want, you can change your behavior to manifest what you do want. You aren't strapped like luggage in a car heading in a direction you don't want to be in. Your point of destination can be recalibrated based on your changing input. Meditate, focus on what you do want, use the Law Of Attraction, choose a different ending. This is the delight of prophecy. Learning your destination allows you to decide on an alternate trajectory. 

Use after a meditation for maximum benefit. Be open to answers that follow throughout the day and beyond. Best to be in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere.  I always shuffle the deck three times to send my energy into the cards. Allow time to reflect on what your cards may reveal. Thank the cards for the knowledge that you have received when you're done. 

Here are the oracle cards that I use:

Heavenly Dictionary

There needs to be a dictionary of spiritual words. Think of all the versions of god there are--one for every religion. The people who instantly 'get you', are those in your inner circle. But those outside of your daily routine probably don't hold the same understandings of basic spiritual words.

Many see god as outside of themselves, a man sitting on a cloud waiting to judge, punish, and fight with the devil for our souls. 

I see god as an unconditionally loving force that does not judge or punish.  God is love, it says repeatedly in the bible. So when someone says they do not believe in god, to me that translates as not believing in love. Further, the religion I grew-up in views the devil as non-existent. Sure, there is devilish behavior, but no actual devil. 

So maybe it wouldn't be a dictionary in the usual definition, but a remaking of otherworldly terms. It would involve more categories. When you are going in to a discussion on god, you could look up the word and read through the different versions. With a quick perusing, you could figure out which god meaning you believe in. 

Hyphens could work. Like: Cloud-god, Love-god, devil-behavior, devil-reality. With these remakings, we could know right off what other people are talking about. So much simpler. 

Dictionaries are non-judgmental. This fantastic new book could be used without judging the other person for their beliefs (hopefully!). We would simply know what they were talking about without all the explanations.

Wow, in writing my great idea, I'm thinking that someone may make a grab at it and write this dictionary. I only ask for ten percent of the profits and credit for the idea. That's fair. 

Here are some more words for the dictionary: 

Heaven is within you: Within-heaven. Heaven is behind pearly gates, something to strive for while on earth: Gated-heaven

'Spare the rod and spoil the child' as a reasoning to spank children: Spank-rod. Rod as a guide to lead children, as used by a shepherd: Guide-rod. 

I've only listed words from Christianity. In wanting to not screw up other religions and their views, I'll stick with what I'm more familiar with. To make a complete spiritual dictionary, we would need to consult all of the major world religious leaders and many of the different followers.

This dictionary would help immensely. So often when I hear people speak of spiritual matters I feel like I have to rearrange their words in my head so I can relate to what they are talking about. I'm guessing that others feel the same. With a non-judgmental book like this, perhaps we could talk about religion without fighting. Sounds heavenly!

Chaos Versus Clarity

 

In 2016, when it was Trump versus Bernie or Hillary, we had the chance to choose between fear and ignorance, and love. Popular vote gave over to love; electoral college to fear and ignorance. You know the rest. 

The world is increasing in vibration. We are heading toward more people being aware of their

• connection to god
• effects on one another
• responsibility to the care of earth
• respect for sentient beings

This progression is coming along whether you choose to resist the change or flow with it. The river does not stop when you dip your toes in. 

As the destination is the same, the way to get there varies: chaos or clarity. Chaos involves suffering, pain, hardship, and violence. Clarity is about peace, grace, health, and abundance. 

These choices come to individuals, families, communities, nations and the world. Starting from the ground up, positive or negative thinking influences your life and collectively can impact everything. We've all heard the argument and benefits of positive thinking. You have likely seen its results in your life. 

Don't think that all is lost when you are dipped into this time of a chaotic national government. We are being shown what needs to be changed by the revelations that all is not well in the U.S., as many colored people have known for generations. The destructive forces of climate changes that we are experiencing have opened many eyes as to the economic and environmental injuries that need to be addressed right now. Covid-19 has allowed us to see that quick world changes are possible. And the national governmental corruption has brought out many people to run for governing positions who are invested in helping and representing the people of the United States. 

As earthly inhabitants of this time period, we are all on this rocket toward a more loving world. Take the choice to make it one that flows with the spirit. Keep your vision on the long-term of what beauty awaits us, even if the world seems a scary place right now. One way or another, your heart can stay in love. Love always prevails, always.

Holotropic Breathing And Chocolate

 Last week, my thoughtful son gifted me with a Zoom session of Holotropic Breathing. Before describing my experience, I want to firmly state that you need to do two things: 

1. Research who should not be doing this, as in what medical symptoms you may be experiencing.

2. Do this with a guide, or sitter. This must be with a certified Holotropic Breathing guide. 

These warnings are not meant to scare you away but to ensure that you are safe during the practice. 

As much I would have preferred a live meeting, in the world of Covid-19 sheltering, the session was on Zoom. You may want to wait until you can do this with a person in the room, if you can remember the grand old days of being in a room, unmasked, with someone other than housemates. In preparation, the guide, Daniella, had told me to have headphones or ear buds with a mic, and a way to lay comfortably on the floor with her able to see me. 

Daniella was enthusiastic, comforting, and had me feeling safe in her guiding gaze; a needful state to be in for an unknown experience. Especially after hearing that I would be focusing on a particular way of breathing for forty minutes, I felt a strong preference for a voice that struck me as trusting. 

Once I was set up and ready to go, she had me set a vision of what I wanted to achieve during the session. Was it a healthy body, more romance, abundance, the ability to eat chocolate covered caramels without gaining weight? I went with a mixture of all of these, packaged in a layer of love. 

It's an efficient use of deep inner work to include a vision. If you are going to hit those inside dimensions, might as well bring along a goal to stick with it. Anytime you are letting go of darkness, have a bright light to replace it with. 

Next came instructions on taking a belly then chest breath. Let out the air and do it again. Her words kept a steady pace backed up by an agreeable beat and relaxing background music. Interjected in our time were uplifting, spiritual phrases. 

As we are unique expressions of goddess, what you get out of this will be set to you. In the interest of not influencing what you can expect, I won't include what came out of my session. Some people may not get much out of it the first time. If you are open, I encourage you to try it a few times if you are not feeling anything at a first go of it. 

I will say this. What I experienced caused much introspection. Things that I did not know I was harboring were brought forth. I felt a spiritual cleansing, and a greater acceptance of love.

As with much deep, inner work, have a plan of following up the session with some way to ground yourself. Three hugs from different people. A bite of chocolate. Rinse your hands in cold water. Don't jump up and rush back into your day. Stay lying down, letting your body and mind come back to the physical, present world. Wiggle those toes and fingers.

It's a pleasure to discover such a simple thing as breathing can bring about wonderful life changes.
