Plumbers friends have recommended to me for Palm Bay, FL

plumber wrench plungerThis morning I wrote on Facebook, “Who can recommend a plumber in Palm Bay, FL? I’m on a septic system. One slow flushing toilet yesterday, today the other one also a slow flush. Heard a sucking sound in toilet #2 a minute after toilet #1 was flushed, opened it and saw the water had drained out of the bowl. I’ll plunge but want a referral to a plumber.” An hour later I went to Home Depot for a new plunger and Carl in the plumbing dept said from what I told him — and he asked several questions for details — I don’t have a clog but may want to check the filter. I had the grey tank rejuvenated in 2011 and the black tank pumped out about the same time. I came home from Home Depot and both are working fine. I got lots of referrals to plumbers, however, and here they are with contact info if I have it:   Continue reading

An effective process for releasing hurt and overcoming grief

dove-with-handMy friend Celeste is having a problem with constipation and hemorhoids.  I looked up the metaphysical cause, which said “holding onto past angers and being afraid to let go of them.”  Celeste told me, “I don’t know how to release the past hurt and anger. My dad passed when I was 15. Two years later, I got a blood clot in my brain. I was the youngest and the only child left at home. My mom never liked me. At an early age, I just didn’t like her either. I had just run away from home and within a month I got the blood clot. Since I was on mom’s insurance, she was called. I’m glad for that insurance in retrospect, since, I felt strongly about only getting on board with over 80 life insurance, I thought, I would never need it in my youth, silly me. She came and was beyond livid. She felt somehow I purposely developed that blood clot just for the attention. She really never spoke to me again. Not that she spoke to me much, or kindly before that. I honestly don’t know how to get over it all. I have tried several ways. And I seem to keep reliving my childhood…I am in situations I perceive I am “stuck in and unloved.  I wish I knew how to release the past hurt and anger.”  I shared with Celeste a process that works for me for releasing hurt and overcoming grief. I felt great relief after I did the process for the first time.  As time went on and the hurt and grief arose again, I would repeat the process.  Here it is for you:    Continue reading

When someone feels familiar, it’s because you’re vibing in the same place. It doesn’t mean they are healthy and right for you

We are attracted to people that feel familiar on an energetic level – which means (until we start clearing our emotional process) people that emotionally / vibrationally feel like our parents did when we were very little kids.  At a certain point in my process I realized that if I met a woman who felt like my soul mate, that the chances were pretty huge that she was one more unavailable woman that fit my pattern of being attracted to someone who would reinforce the message that I wasn’t good enough, that I was unlovable.   The way to stop reacting out of our inner children is to release the stored emotional energy from our childhoods by doing the grief work that will heal our wounds.  The only effective, long term way to clear our emotional process is to grieve the wounds which we suffered as children.  Until we start releasing the hurt, sadness, rage, shame, terror – the emotional grief energy – from our childhoods we will keep having dysfunctional relationships.   Robert Burney, M.A.

I’m always grateful for the mirror

2 people picture frame copyWhen I come across a mirror, I look into it long enough to see myself, fix what needs fixing and move on.  Everyone I meet is a mirror.   I like to take a look at those around me and find what it is about me they are mirroring. Sometimes I’m surprised and delighted. Sometimes I’m horrified and humbled. I’m always grateful for the mirror.

How Do Psychedelics Treat Mental Health Conditions and Prevent Suicide?

entheogen meditation I first experienced psychedelics in my late teens and now, 40+ years later, I am still one of the most mentally healthy people I know.  In Could Psychedelics Be An Effective Suicide Prevention Measure? Carolyn Gregoire writes: “The new wave of research on the medical applications of psychedelic drugs has suggested these substances hold considerable promise as therapeutic interventions for a number of mental health conditions. Psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD and mescaline may also be an effective suicide prevention measure.”  Psychedelics have long been used for healing, bonding and ritual by experienced and spiritually connected elders who guide the journey.  Psychedelics modify neural pathways that move you to a different plane of comprehension. Once you transcend your ordinary state of comprehension and experience there is more to life than repetition of everyday tasks, an entire new world opens to you and life takes on new meaning. Connection to the natural world is a big part of it.   Entheogen is a term used in reverence of substances that act as divine sacraments and facilitate transcendent experiences in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual contex.    I first experienced psychedelics in my late teens:    Continue reading

Taoist circular breathing

Taoist circular breathing is the smooth, seamless flow of chi through your nervous system during your inhales and exhales and most importantly during the change between them. It is an important quality of more advanced Taoist methods to link your breathing to physical movement and energy flow. Your breathing (inhales and exhales) should have no distinct starting or stopping points.  Taoist Circular breathing requires you to learn to mesh your breathing with your chi and nervous system so that they work together seamlessly. Successful circular breathing requires that you accomplish five tasks:   Continue reading

A thought on WE TV’s Marriage Boot Camp

I Just watched WE TV’s Marriage Boot Camp. It must be tough to have no discipline over your emotions, to have friends and family always on eggshells waiting for you to go off. It must be just as exhausting to do it as it is to watch it.  But that’s what fuels these reality shows.  Apparently it’s what people want to watch.  What I like about Marriage Boot Camp is the goal is personal growth and emotional healing.  Becoming aware of what you are doing and discovering why you continue the pattern.  More importantly, they hold counseling sessions with the participants to give them the tools to remedy their issue.  I love that the issues are universal ones.  That means many of the viewers can relate and perhaps begin to heal their own issues, simply because they saw a show on tv.

How to stop the cycle of weight gain while doing spiritual growth work

auraWhy did you start gaining weight when you began a spiritual practice? The metaphysical speakers will tell you you’re eating your emotions, you’re creating protection, and yada yada. More importantly, that’s when you began being aware there is an energy field, an astral environment around you, and that you can both influence and be influenced by this astral environment. Not only did you discover you had a huge super power (I can influence the thoughts of those around me) but also a huge responsibility (I need to monitor my thoughts and feelings so I am not caught up in the emotions of those around me and thus attract to myself a situation I do not want.)  Being bombarded with too much information at once with no time to process it is the same as eating too much and doing no exercise to process it. You become a bloated being who easily loses their balance. When you understand what it really is, the weight will stop being an issue.   Continue reading

How to attract a new job by watching tv

boy watching tvA friend is ready for a new job. I wanted to help her prepave the result she wanted to attract, using creative visualization.  I began the process by asking her: “What would you like to do, ideally, and where would you like to work? Let’s start there.  Tell me someone who has a job you would like.   This exercise requires you actually researching and discovering someone in the flesh that has a job you think you might enjoy. Doing that forces your mind to get more specific in its seeking, it forces your mind to ask questions and do research more detailed than in the past. So tell me who has a job that looks like fun and why you would like that job.  Yes, this is all an exercise but YOU benefit by it by getting what you’re focused on.”  Continue reading
