Now flying free

What I remember about Sept 11th, 2001, is turning the computer on and AOL flashing a photo, and me clicking on it.  I briefly watched the news, then began sitting in prayer for those involved. The next few days were updates and stories from those who would typically be in the World Trade Center at that time, and how they were guided to be elsewhere.  A child’s artwork (wish I could find it online, I cannot) depicted the World Trade Center in fire and smoke, with many angels flying upward, representing those who died.  I contemplated those who died and thanked them for their part in this co-creation.  On some level, they chose to die in this way, when you consider that we choose our life circumstances before we incarnate into each lifetime.   When you consider that we have endless lifetimes to create whatever we wish, that there is no death.

From Linda Mathews: A number of people have requested this info from the recent discussion so I am passing it on. For those of you who are not into metaphysics I refer you to “The Secret” video which is available in our library system and can be picked up or ordered to be delivered at your local library. www.mylibraryworld.com  This video has numerous scientists and others commenting on the science of how thoughts and feelings affect what happens or “manifests” in our lives.  After researching the university-studied healing method devised by William Bengston (which initially provided a 100% cure rate in 100% fatal cancer in mice, later when used on humans the cure rate was lessened by the length of the disease), I came up with a very simple explanation as to how it works (Bengston does not know) and a very simple way to do something similar (Bengston’s method is long and complex. You can buy his method with 5-6 CD’s for $50).  Mine is free for you right here below. Continue reading →

I crack myself up, when I find myself thinking an aggravating thought and continuing to think it  rather than seek a better feeling thought to focus upon.  When I allow myself to wallow a moment longer in justifying and blaming, when if there’s blame to be had, it’s equally shared.  Catching myself continuing to think the thought, even for another moment longer, even though the thinking of it serves merely to incite negative emotion within me.  I can fuel that negative emotion with more of the same thoughts, or I can make a conscious choice to pivot my thoughts to something more pleasant, something more playful, something silly or just some crazy song on the radio.  Whatever it takes to keep me in a happy and uplifted state of mind, despite anything that is going on around me.  That is the peace that passeth all understanding: knowing I am in control of everything that comes my way.  My prayer is to be always able to remember to use my powers for good.

Why competition and jealousy on the Path?
How I pivoted my bitchy consciousness around – just in time 
Stay aggravated or stay on the better feeling thought?

I’d written on Facebook: “It’s very sad when someone who is done with someone else can’t have a civil conversation about it. Live and learn.”   My friend Terri Mermis  said, “If no one ever brings you down, how would you ever have a chance to rise above it all and pat yourself on the back for recognizing they have no power over your feelings unless you give it away to them. Every moment is happy if you choose to perceive it that way. So much easier to live and let live, you have nothing to learn from someone being unkind, the lesson is for them. Be blessed abundantly!”

Take care who you sit with

I’m careful who I ouija with, since we’re opening doors to astral nonsense that can freak out people unfamiliar with it. Plus so many fake it, not trusting in their own abilities to draw communication forth.  Once I sat with people I trusted. I asked the ouija board to give me one DO and one DON’T to give to everyone I came in contact with.  At the time I was talking to 40-60 clients a day working the Psychic Friends Network.  Stop laughing.  I told it I wanted something I could give to everyone. It spelled out “meditate daily cease criticism.”  Well done!  Wait, that wasn’t too freaky.  What’s so scary about the ouija board?  Why do people get freaked out about it?  This is what happens when you sit to use the board, and it happens whether you believe it or not.  The ouija is a strong mental and emotional focal point for the group of people present. By sitting to use it, you are doing so with intention and inviting communication from the nonphysical realm. You will attract that which is a vibrational match to the combination of people present.  The nonphysical realm closest  to us is the astral realm, which is where our emotions lie.  Our astral body — and the inhabitants of the astral plane — get an addictive charge out of making the emotions rise and fall. When these nonphysicals show up, we call them spirits or ghosts or entities or guides or messengers.  You can also think of them as a thoughtform or thoughtbank that has access to your memories and your emotions.  “They” speak to you through spelling out words on the board and they also speak to you via your emotions.     Continue reading →

A friend with Celiac’s disease cannot tolerate gluten and has become very visually impaired because of it.  I asked on Facebook:  “Several people tell me they no longer eat gluten — but I don’t know what happens when you eat gluten and cannot tolerate it.  If you eat a gluten-free diet, tell me the answer ok?”  I don’t have a gluten intolerance but was so surprised by the answers that I wanted to share it here with you.  Basically, if you feel low energy and sickish with tummy issues, try eating no gluten for 30 days and see if it doesn’t clear right up.  Continue reading →

I’ve learned if I’m getting indigestion or heartburn on a regular basis, that doesn’t mean stock up on the Tums and Prilosec.   Antacids weaken stomach acids for about an hour, which relieves the symptoms.  They often cause rebound heartburn  as the stomach works overtime to try to make up for the stomach acid it doesn’t have. In the long run, antacids will make heartburn and indigestion worse. They can contain trace elements that block mineral absorption and can cause harm to the nervous system.  They can produce vitamin and mineral deficiencies and irreparable harm to your organs and bones.  The good news is there are many natural remedies for indigestion and heartburn.  The first is changing your diet to eliminate problem foods.  Period.  Yep, you have to do it.  In the meantime, take 2 tablespoons of organic, unpasturized apple cider vinegar (with the Mother) added to 8oz of water thirty minutes before meals.  I take one Vitacost Mega Digestive Enzymes with Pancreatin 10X before every meal I eat.

I watched part of The Real Housewives of New York last night.  I’d watched the first season or so but after that each episode dissolved into jealous envy and backbiting.  It’s never fun for me to watch people arguing and trying to one-up each other.  Of the NY show, Ramona seems to be the one who demands the most air time, so she’s always stirring up arguments with gossip.  Lately she’s really got it out for Luann, pitting her against several of the others.  Last night Ramona was in her glory as LuAnn brought Johnny Depp look alike Tomas to her room at 3am.   Continue reading →

What type are you?  The Enneagram is a personality typing system that helps us discover our habitual ways of being. Learning what “type” I was brought to light many underlying fixations I was ready to be free of and helped me understand how to get along with friends better.  

The Enneagram is mainly a diagnostic tool of one’s emotional outlook on life. It is also useful as a guide to how other people see the world differently.  There are a number of tests, including these 2 eclectic enneagram tests, the Enneagram Institute test, the Helen Palmer work, and the 9 Types.  The best way to determine your location on the Enneagram spectrum is to understand the system, and understand yourself. The tests will take you only a small part of the way toward that goal.

The past couple of weeks, my roommate has been hacking, choking and wheezing his way through a respiratory thang and yesterday he finally got medical attention. He received a breath treatment in the office, a sample inhaler and prescription for another, and a prescription for antibiotics.  Yay for Publix having free antibiotics!  He got immediate relief, and slept through the night for the first time in weeks.  That meant I also slept through the night, because he wasn’t out there with the tv on, and in and out the doors all night.  While he had the cough, he breathed better when he stood and walked, which he did… all night long.  Last night for the first time in a long time I was able to close my eyes at 11pm and didn’t open them until 7:45am.  Wow.  Awesome experience!  It’s interesting to note that it’s not the volume of the tv that keeps me awake at night, it’s the fact of it being on and whatever signal comes from that.  It keeps me on high alert and wakes me up every hour or two.  It’s an occupational blessing and hazard, this sensitivity. Right now I’m just sitting and breathing and loving life.
