My Halloween post and why I love dichotomies

Even though I was raised as a Christian girl, I loved Halloween for as long as I can remember. As a child, I dressed up and went trick-or treating in my small town / rural neighborhood. Almost nothing bad happened except “papering” of some neighbors trees, which consisted of kids taking rolls of toilet paper and going out late at night and somehow managing to spread it around people’s front yard trees or shrubs. If it rained it became near impossible to remove that crap the next day, so homeowners hated it when kids pulled that kind of prank. My mom told me she’d better never hear tell of me being involved in such antics, so I never did partake in those activities–though I knew kids who did!

I loved creating haunted houses with my best friend, Doris Lee. I began doing such things on my own in our basement, then later with her at our neighborhood Grange building, which was kind of like a meeting house for various groups. I often wonder if it still exists today. There was a group of us kids that really had fun on Halloween for many years, and I think of those activities during this time of year. When I see the granddaughters preparing for outings such as “trunk or treat,” which they’ve already been out at this week.

I’m very thankful that I get to go out trick-or-treating with our granddaughters in a few nights (though it will be COLD… it’s already been so cold, in the low 30s at night here the past several nights in New England)! Brrr! It’s okay, I’ll freeze for a few hours Saturday night to soak up all the fun, shrieks, and laughter! LOL

Speaking of Halloween, here’s a couple things I thought you might enjoy before I dive deeper into the subject of dichotomy.

My comment/reply to the story from Universal Life Church about ghosts. I am an interfaith minister from Universal Life. — https://www.ulc.org / Sheila Murrey

And speaking of ghosts, we just watched the first episode of the new season of Dexter Resurrection last night, and it did NOT disappoint! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33043892/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_5_nm_3_in_0_q_dexter%20re

And not to make light of this in any way, we were stunned to learn of a friend’s passing this week. We had no idea our friend was even ill! It literally sucked the breath out of me when I read his wife’s post on Facebook that he had died. If THAT wasn’t enough, moments ago I read another friend’s post that her otherwise young, strong, and healthy husband has died! I’m simply in shock at this point. I will definitely be thinking of both men tonight as I go out trick-or-treating tonight with our granddaughters and how connected we all still are (through the mystic)!

Dichotomies

Growing up in a home where my mom was strict and very God-believing, but conversely seeing the example of my dad as “ladies man” and the two of them bickering and arguing all of the time, it’s no wonder I could always see “two sides of every story.” My mom and I were also extremely close and she’d confide all kinds of things to me, mostly because other than a close neighbor and sister, mom didn’t have many friends to talk with. And I was always there, as her only child. Thus, I kind of saw mom as the angel and dad as, well, something less. Not the devil, really. But I didn’t perceive my dad as a good guy. I did love my dad, but I saw him as flawed. Looking back now, I think dad was probably a sex addict during my youth, and that’s probably why I understand Russell Brand. My dad was quite the handsome man, and had loads of charm and sex appeal. He even went to Hollywood once-upon-a-time, before he met mom, to try to become an actor–based on a high school teacher’s suggestion. But dad didn’t like LA and often told me that out there, they just “teach you how to lie.” That would paint a strong picture for me about Hollyweird. To this day, I like certain actors for their acting, but I know they’re all liars so I’ve never been one to listen to what they say in ads, or in politically motivated speeches. Nope! Celebrity endorsements of anything do not influence me one bit!

Now, where dichotomies draw me in is that I look for the varying shades of gray in people and my perception and perspectives of situations. I do judge. I’ve always had a strong sense of justice. But the older I get the less I judge, or perhaps, the less harshly I judge. I have this process/philosophy of Integrating the Spirals where I gaze at a mirrorball or peer into a kaleidoscope and ask myself “when in my life did I do such a thing or treat someone poorly.” I find that process helps me judge less and find the “truth that lies somewhere in between.” And that’s why I still enjoy Halloween. It allows me the time and opportunity to consider the shadow side of things. I can dress as a witch and observe the scary things, but still know that Omniscience God has my back, or has me covered. One could say they’re wearing the armor of God. I still kind of think I’m playing with fire. But I know what a burn feels like, so I don’t light the match and burn myself. Yet, I believe God created everything, even the dark side. This may be me playing with words here, or misinterpreting things, but Christ Jesus went to hell to conquer death (after he was crucified and before he ascended to the right hand of God, the Father). So, perhaps, Halloween is also my time to do the same. Conquer the darkness. Overcome my weaknesses. Draw strength from my ancestors who are all on the Other Side, not in a voodoo way, but in a Coco way (if you’ve seen that animated film). I don’t connect as a channel or medium, per se, but I sense a closeness to my deceased relatives–as I don’t actually believe they are all that far away, at least not at this time of year. And that teaches me love and respect for the boundaries between us, the sheets of cellophane that is The Veil. I appreciate the yin and the yang of life. The web of life. The intricacies of life. And the mysteries of what comes after.

Getting into the spooky Halloween spirit… uh, maybe?

I don’t really decorate for the holidays, but I did get a witchy hat recently, and I hung the Halloween skull outside the front door (image follows). Oh, and I bought some new little battery lights for the clay ghosts I made last year and moved them to the built-in next to our TV in the living room. I’m now humbly calling that whole built-in (which has three more shelves above what you see in the picture), our ‘ancestral wall’. That is with the exception of an old photo of ME that my dad always loved. It was one of the few items I got from my parent’s home after my mom passed in 2017. Richard loves the ghosts and has asked that I keep the light ON in both–even during the daytime. LOL

UFO channel

My book club leader turned us onto this YouTube channel (Area 52) several months ago, and I don’t think I’ve shared about it before. I love the set, and Richard loves the interviews! So, check this recent episode out, and see what you think of it: https://youtu.be/30aMHBQ1Avs?si=2o7LeUmtvda54gQK

Moves Method

NEWS! I have now lost 3 inches in my waist circumference! I’m thrilled that the daily movement, as well as eating more protein (mostly by consuming a cup of Greek yogurt daily), has given my metabolism a boost and encouraged my body to release the lard (as my friend Linda always says about her weight loss).

Here’s my most recent post about doing a horse stance and shoulder dislocates 30-Day challenge. Yes, I am attempting to maximize my time. And integrate mind-body, spirit and soul (I get some prayer/meditation time in while moving.)

Currently, only my Instagram and TikTok posts are tracked by Moves Method (for potential payment IF and when I accumulate a certain amount of views, and as of right now, I’m no where near enough views after two months of plugging away at these posts). But I am hopeful AND the potential helps fuel my motivation! Haha! Win-Win!

But I still share to Facebook and my YouTube channel as well, because why not! Eventually, I’ll earn some YouTube revenue. Right? Maybe!

Also, the Moves Method creators, Vanja and Josh are coming out with a new app and supplement! I’m excited to try both and see what else improves for me.

Balancing out the spookiness

Grabbed this from a Facebook post. I liked it. Maybe you will too. A list of things to say, even if you don’t go to church. –Hannah Williams posted though I don’t know if she’s the original author.
One of my memes that I had to revisit this week after someone told me in a Facebook comment, “Shame on you.” I didn’t reply, pretending I didn’t see the comment. I don’t really know what that phrase is supposed to mean anyway, especially coming from someone who knows nothing about me other than I am giving Russell Brand the benefit of the doubt in regards to his trial. I understand a lot of women are up in arms about “no means no,” but since I wasn’t there, and neither were they, and he was quite admittedly under the influence of his addictions at the time (drugs, alcohol, and sex), and the accusers waited 20 years to bring a lawsuit, I am simply not going to grab a fire lit torch and start chanting to burn him at the stake. For God’s sake.

On the lighter side for Halloween; Diving deep re: UFOs; Multiverse in our DNA?

My daughter and granddaughter had an art class at the studio where my daughter works, and made these beautiful Halloween scenes out of fused glass. I knew at least a few of you would like them (Dawn and Linda!). Ha! I have not been sketching this week, as I’ve been trying to learn CapCut for making my Instagram/TikTok/Facebook/YouTube mobility videos to promote the Moves Method. I have been using Edits, and I’ve pretty much mastered it now. Thus, I thought I’d drive myself crazy by learning another new video editing too. Ugh! LOL

Deep dive on UFOs

I’m reading this currently (via Lee Clausen’s Substack): https://leeclausen.substack.com/api/v1/post/pdf?postId=155306925

Dr. Greer’s Unacknowledged: An Expose of the World’s Greatest Secret, “We’re not alone. We never were.” speaks to the attempts of the emerging planetary culture to recover lost Indigenous knowledge. According to Greer (2006) in addressing the topic of universal peace, “We are in a cosmic moment. Humans today—albeit in classified programs—have the means to travel among the stars. So, we must evolve from a human oriented spirituality to genuine universal spirituality”

Screenshot: My comment re: interconnectedness and Stephen Spielberg’s movie, Disclosure Day and how it all connects with what my sister told me (that I wrote about in the book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection).

To wrap up this section, and to let you know, BOTH of the full length songs I created for the Falling Consciously conference are now on my YouTube channel. Here’s the first song, Dragon Dreamers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meZiT_1IQO0

And the second song is, We Rise Tonight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMXQplXi8_A

Multiverse in our DNA?

My friend Teri Young shared this the other day on Facebook, and I just had to share it with you ALL! Read, and think on it. Let me know your thoughts.

Moves Method

NEWS! One of my Moves Method short videos hit over 4,000 views the other day!

A recent mobility video of mine–showing the corn maze we went to the other day, where I walked 2,000 steps! https://youtube.com/shorts/tEuHpvrnonQ?si=1DQ7VZr5de4fk0pZ

I got through the corn maze just fine and didn’t even get winded! My son-in-law and daughter (both were still recuperating from a bug, he actually had pneumonia!) and the three of us completed the maze in 20 minutes–even with turning around a couple times! The three granddaughters went on their own and it took them 35 minutes longer to get out of the maze! Kids! I thought they’d beat us out. Nope!

Now, I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost, but I’m feeling so much better! I’m down almost 3 inches in my waist circumference now, so maybe I’ve released 20 pounds? I know all my clothes are looser than they were last year!

Get in on this deal, while it lasts and join me in the Moves Method. It’s super supportive mobility training group full of people over 40, 50, 60, and even 70 years of age!

My beach sketch; Falling Consciously Online Conference wrap up with 2 NEW SONGS; Moves Method videos are booming!

If you missed Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference, then you missed my share of the two NEW SONGS! So, here’s a sneak peek. I’m still working on getting each full song on YouTube with its own video: https://youtu.be/vMYCMKNmNzk?si=ObOmNaBF3NwidhmL

I had an amazing time on the post conference wrap up (that Michael Kopf held on his channel a few days after Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall conference). I was ecstatic to be included in the lineup because I so enjoyed Daryl and Joshua’s presentations at the conference! Now, here I am speaking with Daryl James and Joshua Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/live/0DiRaEOtxag?si=hOVkoutJ6PSJKP0o

Beach sketch

I continue, albeit slowly, to do some painted sketches of my husband’s artwork. I don’t have an art alcove like my dear soul artist friend, Linda Lewis of Creative Artworks blog… so I sit and sketch in stages in my recliner, usually while my husband is watching something on YouTube on our big screen TV. He will peek over at what I’m doing, but he’s good about waiting until I take a break to comment. And I’ve been quite pleasantly surprised that he’s so complimentary!

My husband, Richard Murrey, was a professional artist for over 40 years and an art director for a time for Sea World, Disney, and NASA, so I was kind of shy to start sketching. Thankfully, I persevered! I am now, using a smaller sketchpad, though that was my mistake when I ordered it, so I get to practice resizing each piece. Eventually, I may try my hand at sketching without using a model, or I will simply watercolor paint.

I begin with a pencil sketch, then use a marker to establish bold lines. –Richard Murrey artwork underneath, my sketch on top. –Sheila Murrey
This is how I sit to sketch; all my pens, pencils, and paints are in a rattan tote on the floor down beside my chair. My sketch is top left. –Sheila Murrey + The framed artwork on my lap. –Richard Murrey
I finished the painted sketch with oil pastels and watercolor paints. I really wanted the water to flow, but when I saw some of the black marker bleeding into the paint, I dabbed it a bit and decided to stop. Richard said he thought the bleed over was fine. I don’t know though. I must be picky. –Sheila Murrey

Moves Method

I’ve been so humbly grateful that my Moves Method short videos have been taking off! Many now have over 1,000 views, on YouTube, as well as nearly that many on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Of course, doing my own mobility training, recording some, learning how best to edit them and get them onto each of the platforms, has taken a fair amount of time, so I have not been keeping up with my reading (both blogs/books). And for that, I apologize. You know me though, I’ll spiral back around to read. And winter is coming!

I’ve got my tent sauna setup again after moving it to the other side of my upstairs spa room, so I’ll read while I’m in the sauna in the evenings. I have also been experimenting with new recipes and happy to say, I’m between 2.5 to 3 inches of waist size loss and my clothes are baggy on me now (I don’t weigh myself, so not sure how much weight I’ve lost). I am in love with the Moves Method though!

My episode on AnchorHaven’s podcast; Falling Consciously Online Conference–THIS Saturday; Moves Method–Day 23; Best snack recipe!

I had the BEST time with Julia AnchorHaven on her YouTube podcast last week! If you missed it, it’s a keeper! Check it out: https://youtu.be/hoX27eE0L8w?si=fTiMp2nJ23VSy9Qy

At this moment, my episode has 86 views, and I’m going to check it in a few days to see if we’ve grown that number… so “I’m watching YOU”! Haha!

FYI: here’s my first podcast with Julia: https://www.youtube.com/live/NkqKRieZUpA?si=Ri5UZWbQ_VKERMRs

Julia and I are both returning to contribute to Gina Virginia Casella’s Fall “Falling Consciously” conference that’s coming up THIS SATURDAY! Yes, we’re sooo excited!! I’ll be offering healing with two new songs, created especially for the Dragon Dreamers Soul Tribe! Gina has reduced ticket prices by half now, so there’s no excuse to get your ticket and join us Live on September 19th, 2026. Here’s the link to get your ticket, use SHEMUR too: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/extras

Falling Consciously Saturday September 19th, 2026 Gina Virginia Casella Online Conference.

Be sure to order the Falling Consciously September 19th Conference ticket (as the December Conference ticket is available via that same link). Use my code at check out, SHEMUR too. Please and thank you!

Because of a last minute change in our Saturday schedule, Gina asked me if I could update the video where I share both of the new songs for the Falling Consciously conference. I did, and Richard even helped me by giving me four new/better graphic images (from AI). I had a technical glitch in the iMovie software that I use, so I had to nearly recreate the video. Whew! But it’s done and delivered to Gina as of last night.

Thus, I am SUPER EXCITED to share the songs (one minute of each) with you during the Saturday conference!! Full versions of both songs will be available at a later date on YouTube, but I really want to get your LIVE comments to the songs on Saturday! It’s going to be great fun!

Moves Method

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is GONE now, and I am sooo thankful! Yes, the situation healed, whether it was an impingement or ??? I don’t know, but I’m all better–back to NORMAL. I’ve also lost over TWO INCHES from my waist, and feeling so much stronger!

Here’s my two videos re: the Moves Method that I’ve been doing daily (yes, I was doing it even through the nerve pain I’d had–just focused on lower body moves). The first video is the work one can do BEFORE the deep squat, to strengthen the ankles.

The second is of my deep squat today, while NOW attempting to rise UP onto my toes!

I truly hope many of my friends, family, and blog/book readers join me in the Moves Method commUnity! You won’t believe what a supportive and nurturing group of others there are, as well as the Moves Method trainers, who are always there to encourage and inspire us onward and upward! The introductory toolkit is only $27. And that’s been the best $27 I’ve probably ever spent for what I’ve gotten out of it thus far. If you know you need this, here’s the link to join: https://movesmethod.com/toolkit-ca?a=sheila1&utm_source=growi&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=the-movers&utm_term=sheila1&_atid=uIxBEoTEYWtDKXLKDBxDUFHtvCoeWQ

And yes, I get a little credit if you join, but I DO really want you there with me.

Best Snack Recipe

I don’t know how I didn’t know how much protein Greek yogurt has in it, but I didn’t know, until NOW. And though I didn’t like yogurt much, unless it was loaded with sugar (fruit), I have been making this little recipe every day for more than a week and it’s turned into my favorite of all time!

Having been someone who could live on potato chips and French onion dip… and denied myself of that deliciousness for years because “potato chips and dip are fattening,” I’m here to tell you THIS totally replaces that as a snack but gives me the SAME delightful pleasure!

  • 1/2 C organic Greek yogurt (I’m using is pictured next, Cabot Creamery)
  • 1 T onion powder (more or less to suit your taste buds–EXPERIMENT!
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1/2 T Dill weed (this makes it as far as I concerned and I probably use more)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • pinch cayenne and pinch pink salt

Stir the yogurt and herbs all together well and add in slices/chunks of fresh cucumber, onion, cherry tomatoes, or any/all other veggies you like and have a go!

News and new links

I’ve been busy updating links (both at the end of this article and on the WordPress menu of this site). Since taking on the role of ‘promoter’ for the Moves Method (along with a few hundred others), I’ve been quite busy for a couple hours each day, both doing my own mobility training, recording it, and then creating promo videos to share on Instagram and TikTok. I also share these videos to Facebook and my YouTube channel. I will be paid a commission based on views, likes, if a video goes viral, and any sales made via my link, and so far, I’m exciting watching the stats grow! I can’t tell you how MOTIVATING this has all been! Especially getting to be creative with Instagram and TikTok, learning Edits, Canva, and other such creative tools to craft professional videos for the Moves Method.

I’m continuing heal the nerve pain I’ve been experiencing for the last few weeks. I’m continuing to use my shiatsu massage pillow, though I’ve not felt any more release from the nerve impingement. And I did get another neck massage pillow and I’m not sure I like the way it provides massage (and it’s loud), but I love the actual pillow part of it and could sleep on it if needed, without the massage on–plus it offers heat and cold settings, which really work!

The shoulder/arm nerve pain is nearly gone now, and I am sooo thankful! The nerve tonic from Florida helped, though it did not relieve the nerve pain as quickly or as obviously as the first formulation had. Christina actually added to her formula (St. John’s Wort was added and a few other things) this time for me, but it was more expensive too. I’m not taking as much of it this time as I did the first time. Call me frugal. The DMSO gel was a disappointment–it didn’t really do much and smelled bad. But I used it daily for several days just to “try anything.” I do believe the Kailo, a reusable plastic pain relief patch has helped a lot! Initially, I got about 50% relief while wearing the Kailo and I continue to use it though I’m at nearly 90% relief. I’m sleeping all night now, finally! As we know sleep is necessary for healing. Thus, all the way around, I am feeling better! And I am down almost two inches on my waist from when I began doing the Moves Method mobility training. And THAT’S EXCITING!
