For many of you in the healing and coaching community, this information may seem redundant, so I hope to put a twist on it to pique your playful side. A lot has been said about listening- but what good does it really do? Recently, I approached a client about enhancing her listening skills. Her retort was, “I don’t want to spend my time listening to someone else!” Oh, how true!
Gentle rain fell, as Scooter, my Italian Greyhound, stood shivering and whining outside the dog door. He wanted to come back into the warmth of the house, but was afraid of what might lurk within. The two cats had him well trained. Nadia regularly took it upon herself to be sergeant of arms, and when the dog went outside for his potty break, she would also saunter out, making sure he was aware of the vigorous and thorough sharpening of her claws on the bottom step. Then she would take up guard duty at the top step, in front of the dog door or for a little variety, just inside the dog door.
Totally enchanted with energy work, I have been working with NES, a system for scanning the human energy field blueprint for distortions and imbalances, and other energy healing modalities. Recently, I was guided to an approach for health and well-being by working from the Soul level; more specifically, from the Akashic records, soul blueprint level. I felt really comfortable with the work, and the informatio I gained was like the best sci-fi story I’d ever read!
What if there was a part of you that was in charge of your Immunity? What if there was a 'department', like an internal post office, whose sole purpose was sorting out what belongs to you and is part of your Self, and what does not belong there? The Immune System's primary job is to sort what belongs in the body and eliminate what does not belong there. Energetically speaking, it separates information that supports and nurtures you and eliminates or lets go what does not. Who tells the Immune Department what to keep and what is spam or junk mail?
Scooter heard me calling him, but the messages contained in the scent called to him far more strongly. He pretended to be totally oblivious of my calls- until he was finished, and now it was convenient to come. Frustration coursed through me. Why won’t he listen to me??? He needed more training, I thought. I had enough presence of mind to be kind to him when he came, praise him for coming, but I’m sure he sensed some of my frustration, and immediately bounded off again.
Do you find yourself drawn to shows like Star Trek, Star Gate, Men in Black or other Sci-Fi movies about alien beings? Have you speculated what you would do if you ever met an Extra Terrestrial?
Recently, I was working with a local contractor, who was commenting about the performance of my employees. Since this was already a sore point with me, it didn’t take much to get me on the complaining track. After about 15 minutes, I had to stop. A stray thought flitted through my mind and for an instant I knew that there was a better way and that I just dumped on this person and I wished I hadn’t done that. He asked if I felt better. Actually, I felt worse. Angry emotions surged through me. I was ready to roll some heads. Stress at it’s finest!

We are moving into the season of the year where we pay our dues and financial homage to our government. It is a period some people would prefer that Time somehow skipped. Many people shudder at the uncertainty of what lies ahead in their personal tax picture, the constantly changing rules and the ominous phrase, “closing the tax gap”. The minions to the gods of government are ever-watchful for that elusive and evasive dollar. The arduous task of year-end closing and payroll reports is upon many business owners, and W-2 wage earners scramble to gather together all their deductions.
The photo in the newspaper tugged at my heart. Something about the expression in the eyes. Still I resisted, not sure I wanted the commitment of a dog. Something urged me to just ‘take a look’. For several years, I had held in the back of my mind, the image of a loving, friendly, small and clean dog that could help me in my healing business; someone who would motivate me to get some exercise, and be a great companion. The cats were great companions, and protective, in their own ways, but I wanted someone who could go places with me and bring joy into people’s hearts.
The dictionary defines health as: well-being, healthiness, fitness, good condition, good shape, fine fettle; strength, vigor, wellness, physical state, physical shape, condition, constitution. It seems that when we say health, it is implied that we are talking about our physical state of being- more specifically, the function of our body.
I have a wonderful feedback system that really gets my attention. In fact it is so effective that when I overdraw my energetic bank account, it won't allow me to function very well and go further into energetic debt! It seems that banking practices apply to both your money and finances and your energy. Each activity or area that you put your attention is like spending energy. Now as long as you get something of equal energetic value, then your expenditure is covered.
Over the years of working with money matters for my clients (and myself), I have seen how money seems to be a “hot” or volatile topic. It pushes a lot of buttons, especially those of security and survival. I’ve seen it be the source of arguments, hard feelings, unhappiness and withdrawal of affection. It doesn’t have to be that way.
