On Intuition

“The Greeks have two words for knowledge:  logos and gnosis.

What can be learned through education and scientific inquiry is logos.  What can be known through intuitive feelings and spiritual or mystical experiences is gnosis (no-sis).

 

Logos is rational, objective, logical, expressive in words or numbers, while gnosis is subjective, nonrational, nonverbal, feeling-tinged, expressible through poetry, images, metaphor, and music and is often unproveable by its very nature.

 

Every sacred experience is subjective:  the sense of oneness with the universe, or with divinity, a spiritual epiphany, a timeless moment infused with beauty, spiritual insight, and grace is gnosis.  Ineffable yet profoundly transformative – these are soul experiences.

 

Trust what you know is your bones from experiences such as these.”  (Jean Bolen)

I am someone who needs both.

I crave knowledge, learn even from the backs of cereal boxes and read voraciously.  I use this knowledge to feed my intuitive nature.  That knowledge seeps into my bones.  I feel it there.  It builds my confidence and gives my mind something to do, so my creative, intuitive nature is free to play.

Whining

Whining

“As we grow older, especially if we are outer-directed, it is not difficult to find more and more to whine about.  This poses a risk of a negative transformation into the archetypal martyr-mother.”

 

“She resisted the temptation to call me up and whine when confronted with the daunting task of unpacking and beginning a new life.  Instead she play-acted an exaggerated version of her whiner, with just herself as the audience, and then kept on with what had to be done.”  (Crones Don’t Whine by Jean Shinoda Bolen)

So I suggest taking time for yourself.

Sit.

Pray.

Meditate.

Laugh.

Eat food you love.

Watch the sun rise because it reassures you and is nourishment for your soul.

Moon gaze because it reminds you of the connections you have to stardust.

If you feel whiny I really think you just need more time to yourself.  Go inward.

What is AFT (Aroma Freedom Technique)

What is AFT (Aroma Freedom Technique)

AFT – Recovering from trauma

AFT is a step-by-step process using essential oils to trigger a permanent shift in how we experience ourselves and the world.

AFT is a tool for clearing traumatic memory.  AFT is a tool for clearing blocks, negative memories and stressful memories. You do not have to believe in the process for it to work and be effective.

Introducing the aroma of specific essential oils at the right point in the process of recall can break apart this memory complex and thereby restructure the implicit learning connected with the memory.  Results are consistent with the most recent research on Memory Reconsolidation.

How does it work?

We use beautiful, healing essential oils as part of the healing process because essential oils affect the memory centers of the brain extremely quickly.

Memories that are stressful or traumatic are stored based on the feeling of the event, not on the details of the event.

The memory is stored as a complex of images/thoughts/feelings/body sensations. 

Our emotional learning is based on this memory complex.

When specific essential oils are used at the right point in the process of recall, they can break apart a memory complex and restructure your connection with the memory.

Consider this.  Our conscious mind makes assumptions.

Our conscious mind assumes that the memory creating stress or trauma is the one we consciously present.

This isn’t always the case.

With AFT we allow the unconscious mind to access our memories

and present us with the events we may have forgotten

or have not connected with our current concern.

AFT is an amazing tool to use as part of intuitive counselling.

We honor what arises in each session regardless of what it is.   Sometimes the events that are recalled seem unrelated but it’s the energetic imprint of that event we are healing.

Did you know Feng Shui was used by the ancient Chinese to find the perfect grave site?

Did you know Feng Shui was used by the ancient Chinese to find the perfect grave site?

 

 

 

 

 

It’s true.  The roots of feng shui were established over 6.000 years ago, growing out of the world of spirit and protection.

Modern archeologists have found feng shui symbols in graves and tombs of ancient China that show this search for the perfect  burial location.

At the time, it was very important to find a burial location that would not be negatively affected by the elements of water and wind (feng shui translates to water and wind).

Today, we use feng shui to create a more harmonious home BEFORE we die!  The way you and I will work together connects you to your dreams and desires.  We step into your home with the intention to become aware of what you may not be aware of.  We’ll shine a light on whatever it is you want to create in your life and YOU will use the power of your home and environment to bring those dreams into reality.

 

What is energy medicine?

What is energy medicine?

 

Consider this

We don’t HAVE energy, we ARE energy!

Your being consists of more than its physical presence.

Your experiences from babyhood and throughout your life are held in the memory centers of your brain AND ALSO as flowing or congealed energy in your physical, emotional and subtle energy bodies.

 

In other words, the stories of your life, your attitudes, beliefs and perspectives are held in the muscles and organs of your body AND ALSO those invisible energy fields emitted from your physical body called subtle energy bodies and auric bodies.

 

Everything gets stored!  The good stories and the not-so-good stories.

Sometimes the way we hold our stories and experiences causes us illness, stress, pain, depression, anxiety (and more…). 

 

We can get caught in downward spirals.

In the past our technology wasn’t sophisticated enough to measure changes in our energetic system and now it is. 

There are studies and courses focussed solely on the science behind the effectiveness of energy healing modalities like EFT, Reiki, meditation, acupuncture and yoga. 

Increasingly, energy medicine is being recommended as a wellness tool for both mental, physical and spiritual health.

Energy medicine can look like:

  • a reframe of our stories
  • a combination of tapping on the meridians of the body while speaking about the things that are distressing you
  • the use of pure, potent essential oils to stimulate the limbic system (which is connected to the memory centers of the brain) to shift the way a memory is stored so it no longer causes you distress

 

  • a trance or guided meditation
  • prayer
  • mindfulness practices

 

  • the use of tuning forks touching our spine to stimulate the chakra centers
  • the use of entrainment to bring you to a healing breath rate through rhythm or vibration
  • hands-on healing

 

  • reiki
  • intuitive energy massage (which includes reiki, white light healing, chakra balancing, cranial sacral and gentle body pulling)
  • quantum touch

 

  • Body Talk
  • feathering your aura
  • aromatherapy

 

  • yoga
  • a long walk
  • acupuncture
  • massage
  • conscious speech

 

  • singing
  • toning
  • color therapy
  • crystal healing

 

  • a salt bath infused with organic, specially blended essential oils designed to bring balance to your chakra (energy) system
  • space clearing
  • the practice of feng shui

 

Energy medicine practitioners and energy healers are trained in their respective modalities. 

They can help you very quickly bring awareness to the energetic sources of your distress, illness, frustration, painful emotion. 

Sometimes your awareness is unnecessary. 

Sometimes the healing work can be done remotely. 

Sometimes just your willingness to show up and allow your healing guide to work their magic by bringing peace to your physical and energetic systems is all is takes.

I have been learning, training and practicing energy healing for years.

If you would like support to bring healing to some aspect of your life,

give yourself permission to ask for help and to be well,

whatever that looks like for you.
