When we have no words: Sit with it

Listen, sometimes we don’t have the words. The words just aren’t IN us to express our innermost feelings. And as I drive to the post office to mail my lovely and dear three young granddaughters their copy of Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection, I’ve signed and written a little sentence or mantra in each one (Thank Omniscience God) to always find joy. (I’m sooo thankful for getting this book done and for my family).

I’m crying. And I am in a stupor. I’m stupefied. Why am I crying? And then I sit here for a moment. And I realize I can’t put this sadness into words except to say, sit with it. Sit with it, Sheila, and see what you can milk out of this experience. Oh, I wish I could be there! I would love to see your faces when you open the package and Mommy sits you down and says, “Now girls–because the twins are five–these are big books; these are books for you to keep for your whole life from your Grammy; these are books you will probably cherish and adore.” (Speaking about myself in third person) Even though Grammy meditates as a Buddhist now and doesn’t want you to attach or cherish anything–of course she’s attached to you, cherishes and adores you!

We live so far away (emotions). And I ask myself, what’s stopping us from being together? In many cases, it’s because right now it is winter. It’s cold (up north) and sometimes the weather is too bad to travel. So the weather limits humans. Yes, often the weather is limiting. (sniff! emotions!) And that’s okay.

Grammy has always wanted to live in Florida! Grammy prefers the sunshine, the palm trees, and the salty air of Florida. And the older Grammy gets (speaking in the third person), the more I miss a little bit of hill country. So that’s why I’m looking forward to moving to the Ocala area somewhere in the north-central area of Florida where there are hills, but I don’t miss the mountains, not as your mommy (my daughter) did for many years. Your mommy didn’t really like Florida because she missed the mountains, but now you’re in New England. There are mountains and lots of beautiful fall foliage to look at in wonderment. And that’s a beautiful thing.

We hope that unseen viruses and silly government policies and regulations don’t prohibit our visiting. We hope our health stays good too, so we can drive to visit this spring. We love you so much, your grandpa (grampy) and me, all three of you girls! Oh, and mommy to my beautiful daughter. So yes, in the book, beautiful daughter is chapter four. And I do talk about and mention my lovely granddaughters.

So I dedicate this blog post and all my thoughts about missing you yet, being close to you in spirit. I dedicate these thoughts to these words that say eventually did come. I dedicate these words to the loves of my heart. Thank you. Thank you ALL. Much love and many blessings. May these words bring you peace, ease, and comfort, and may you find joy in everything. In ALL ways, always.

Cheat sheet: Blog Writing Using Otter

Here’s a cheat sheet you can use to help you easily create blog articles, especially if you love using your phone and dictating! (It works sweet if you channel!)

  • Download Otter for your phone
  • Speak less than 30 minutes FREE (if you go over 30 minutes you’ll have to pay Otter $12.95 for at least a month to get your entire file!)
  • Export both audio and text files from Otter
  • Email these files to yourself or transfer from your smartphone (I use an iPhone) directly to MacBook via AirDrop
  • Copy and paste the text from the .txt file into Grammarly.
  • Use the web version for FREE or add the plug-in for Grammarly so while you’re editing in WordPress via your browser, you can take advantage of it at the same time you are editing in WordPress
  • Copy and paste text into WordPress to create a blog article
  • Listen to the audio file while editing, as some words do not transcribe well
  • Follow most of the Grammarly help it provides, but if you love fancy ways to write certain words like I do when I write the word aWEsOMe, you don’t have to accept those changes.
  • In WordPress, go to the Post Settings and add the category and tags on the article
  • When you feel good about your blog article, click Publish (in WordPress)
  • Go to a new browser window and find your new blog article
  • Read it as if you didn’t know who wrote it and check again for anything you’d like to add, remove, or change
  • Make any edits and click Update (in WordPress) to publish it again
  • Advertise your newly crafted blog article on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Substack, LinkedIn, etc.
  • Like, share (reblog), and comment on other posts you like while in WordPress and get involved in the blogging community–we’re all here out of a passion for sharing or desire to be helpful

Most writers want to be read. We want to be heard or at least acknowledged even if others disagree with our views or opinions. Each of us shares our unique perspective.

So, if you care about growing your blog and watching your blog stats, get involved in the WordPress community! I promise if you do, you’ll see your blog stats go UP! And you may even form friendships over time and make soul connections!

Cheat sheet: How I wrote and self-published my new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection

My new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection went LIVE on Amazon (available in paperback and Kindle) as of 11 pm ET New Year’s Eve! Want to know how I wrote and self-published it? I mean, the easy way? And hopefully with less time editing (I am sharing lessons learned for you, AND to remind myself should I write another book)! Ha!

Amazon screenshot showing my new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection

I downloaded and used Kindle Create to prepare both the Kindle version of the book and the paperback, and each has their own set of distinct requirements! For example, you will format (layout) each differently. But start with the Kindle ePub version in mind first because you can export from Kindle create to ePub for direct uploading into KDP publishing online through a browser, and you can then export a PDF version to open in Pages on a mac, or other editing software to add page numbers and other desired formatting changes.

But I digress. Here’s a cheat sheet of all I used to write the book (and these steps will help you blog as well, especially if you love using your phone and dictating or “channel”!

  • Download Otter for your phone
  • Speak less than 30 minutes FREE (if you go over 30 minutes you’ll have to pay Otter $12.95 for at least a month to get your entire file!)
  • Export both audio and text files from Otter
  • Email these files or transfer from iPhone directly to MacBook via AirDrop
  • Copy and paste the text from the .txt file into Grammarly. You can use the web version and it’s FREE
  • Listen to the audio file while editing as some words do not transcribe well
  • Follow most of the Grammarly help it provides but if you love fancy ways to write certain words like I do when I write the word, aWEsOMe, you don’t have to accept those changes.
  • Do the Grammarly step before laying out the book into a particular format in Pages, Scrivener, MS Word or such as you’ll lose all the formatting when moving content from that app to Grammarly and back again. I know. It happened to me and it sucked! (I reformatted my Pages paperback version about a dozen times, I lost count that’s for sure! Ugh.)
  • Copy and paste in Scrivener by chapter and section (or WordPress when writing a blog article)
  • Arrange and rearrange chapters and sections easily, see most used words (which is why I bought Scrivener for a one-time fee of $50)
  • If using Pages, MS Word, or other word processing application, copy and paste from Scrivener to it now and save two files: ePub and PDF
  • Download Kindle Create
  • Copy and paste text from Pages, Scrivener, or MS Word file to Kindle Create
  • Export ePub file for the Kindle ebook version and PDF file for the paperback
  • Run the checker on KDP Publishing many times and make every change they suggest but do add page numbers to the paperback version and ensure they show up.
  • Check each image to ensure it shows up in the paperback version too! One of my images didn’t show up (at all) when I got my paperback copies and I realized I could have prevented that had I changed everything to grayscale before placing the images in the paperback version. Kindle version displays all of your content and images in whatever color but the paperback does NOT (only the cover of the paperback is printed in color)!
  • Use the book cover template suggested if you are preparing your own book cover. And don’t leave the spine blank as I did on mine. I knew what a spine was but both my husband and I missed that and we’ll have to fix it at some point. And do bleed the edges on the front and back book covers, Amazon calls the whole thing, “the cover,” which includes front, spine, and back cover of your book. And no, I didn’t know that the first several times I submitted the book cover. Duh!
  • Make final edits to the PDF in Pages, Scrivener, or MS Word, whichever app used to export the submitted PDF if you used multiple apps
  • Order a printed draft of your paperback if you really want to get it right! (SEE NOTE BELOW)
  • Don’t pay for advertising until you know your paperback prints the way it should (UGH)

After reviewing a printed paperback copy of my new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection I found where one of the images did NOT show up on the page! Because of that and because no page numbers displayed (the Table of Contents isn’t too helpful when you can’t look by page numbers), I had to update the manuscript again (umpteenth time) and resubmit. I had to do the layout again, in the Pages app on my MacBook Air because when I added the page numbers the layout changed. The cover size changed too because the page length of the book grew!

Here’s where it got hairy and later, very frustrating!

I spent all afternoon today on the manuscript. Yes, AGAIN—7 days after publishing! I even added a few sentences and prettied it up by making sure each chapter started on the right hand page.

I submitted it via KDP Publishing site to Amazon. I had to Preview it again though I didn’t feel I needed to. It would NOT let me resubmit it without clicking on Preview.

When I did that, it told me my cover was the wrong size! It didn’t have a problem with the cover before (that is after I’d already updated THAT several times before initially submitting, but now with more pages the cover needs to be larger—bang my head).

Point is, I spent another hour or two and recruiting hubby to help because the software I use on the MacBook would NOT let me resize a PDF. The more obstacles I ran into the more aggravated I got!

Finally, hubby resized the PDF cover in Photoshop on our desktop iMac to the exact size dimensions the bot had specified on KDP and I got that uploaded. I did chat with Amazon though, in the meanwhile and no, I didn’t take out my frustration on the gal I was chatting with as I know it’s never their fault or problem. It’s software. But I did tell her I wanted to lodge a complaint that the bot should allow the customer, especially on a redo to force the change through.

Please make sure you give yourself the time, space, and grace to do this as it’s certainly not for the faint of heart! I now know why people pay $5k to get a book published. It’s ridiculous. I’ll use the KDP stock cover creator next time. I’m completely over this custom cover thing. Ha!

The new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection has launched!

My new book, Blue Eyes, has passed the Amazon review process and is now LIVE (available in paperback as of 11 pm ET last night)! It was incredibly exciting to receive the email notice just before midnight last night and ring in the new year knowing the work was complete! Ha!

Amazon screenshot showing my new book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection

The book had to be put on hold for a couple of months because of my husband’s stroke and all the new caregiver tasks and responsibilities of mine (plus I still work full-time too). Thus, I took a week off work—to get the book done—between Christmas and New Years.

Many synchronicities abound and show us God’s grace! We are humbly blessed at every turn, that my husband can walk unassisted (he’s getting a bit better every day), is talking better (clearer, but still with less volume than normal), able to do a little work on the computer (like designing the cover for the book), and re-learning guitar (on a new Spanish acoustic that has a neck that fits in his hand better)!

I’m so excited to release this book out into the world! This past week has really been a birthing labor process to be sure! I knew it might take me a few days, but I had no idea! I used Kindle Create to prepare both the Kindle version of the book and the paperback, and each has their own set of distinct requirements! I see why many authors pay someone else to do this process! Ha!

Every time my husband and I would get frustrated over making yet another change to correct something, I would breathe and remind him to breathe, and I would say aloud, “I am a Technical Writer so I can do this or can figure this out.” Haha! I guess that helped as we’re still here and with hair on our heads too! Didn’t pull it out. (Wink!)

Here’s the link where you can get either or both versions: https://amzn.to/3WV68KF

Please do reach out to me (email or comment below) if you buy it, as I would love to start building a community of like-minds, perhaps on weekly Zoom calls or such?

I am volunteering now too, for Dr. Raymond Moody, author of many great books like, Life After Life, and God is Bigger than the Bible—see how the Universe conspires for our bliss?

Much Love, Happy New Year, and many blessings to ALL!

You’re always so busy busy busy

From my Facebook post today

My commentary: A deep ACIM calendar quote for the day…  “This holy instant would I give to you…” and as a friend has commented, it is the same message each day until the end of the year, so I really don’t need to post the image again and again. But alas, here it is. 

I’m coming out of the funk I was in yesterday. I know people are busy. My dad used to tell me that every time he called. He would say, you’re “busy, busy, busy.” and you know what? because I was busy, I have many voicemail messages from him so I can always replay and hear his voice. Problem is, I don’t do that very often.

Why?

Because I am still, busy, busy, busy.

But I’m one person. I’d love for many to read this book I’ve poured hours, days, and weeks into. But of the 30 early readers, three actually read any of it. I’m grateful for those three. They know who they are. I would have opened it up to be read for free to many more had I known those thirty wouldn’t have had time. Some of my closest friends were honest from the get-go and told me they didn’t have time. 

Book launched today! https://amzn.to/3Cxfjtl

Now, I’m not saying all this to put guilt upon anyone, but to tell you, you can have hundreds of likes, loves, and comments on your posts and those will convert to ONE sale. It’s happened to me (with the last book). So, I do ALL of this writing, from my heart to those hearts who will listen. I do what I do, for the few. 

And FYI, though my dad’s words to me about how busy I always was will haunt me, he evened it up by also always telling me, “love you, love you, love you” at the end of each phone conversation or voicemail. So there’s that.

Omniscience God knows.

And so it is…

  • Ills are like rain on dirt. Rain washes away dirt so gems can be more easily mined!
  • Recognizing our individuality and uniqueness, yet all the while like sticky snowflakes, We Are All Connected.
  • A growing world is merging = EMERGING!
  • Acknowledging our inner alchemy.
  • Turning on Reiki Light.
  • Always turning to balance while Integrating the Spiral.
  • Choosing to make food and TIME work FOR us.
  • Thanking ALL for Grace, no matter how things look.
  • Prayer works!
  • OM-ing works! OM. AUM.
  • TRUST is huge!
  • Asking for help helps too!
  • Managing our Energy IS self-care.
  • Not burying head in the sand. (Pay attention to our health!)
  • Observing and documenting.
  • Involved but not entangled (with external happenings).
  • Amplifying and supporting ALL voices in commUNITY.
  • Accepting and surrendering what we cannot change but not quitting, burying heads in the sand, or laying down.
  • Freeing and beautifying. 
  • Raising vibrations.
  • Simplifying complex topics.
  • Aligning with SOUL to walk a purposeful path.
  • Each of us has God INSIDE us. Always in ALL ways reMember.
  • Every. Moment. Gratitude. 
  • Know who you are. Then, Blend. 
  • “Be Here Now” and Be Kind to ourselves/others.
  • Grow through the “not always pleasant” dirt. Yet, ALL for growth. (I see you.)
  • We Are All Connected.

By grace we ARE.

It’s ALL in God’s hands. 

Everything Resolves to Gratitude. 

Thank God, Omniscience, Source, Creator.

Why am I here?

I’m here to challenge you to dig deeper. Honor your past. Honor your ancestors. You are not here by accident. You didn’t pop out of a pod. A woman gave birth to you. And a woman gave birth to her. And so on, and so on. And a man was involved in some way too. The two became one. YOU!

ALL of your ancestors who came before, honor YOU! You stand on their great shoulders. Do you accept the responsibility of their sacrifices? Of their LOVE?

Balance is achievable though not always the point. Remember a wavy line separates the black from the white in the yin and yang symbol. It’s wavy because it’s always Balancing. Flowing. Never done.

Life endures. And continues.

We’re all pink!

Underneath our skin, we are all pink! Our blood is blue until exposed to oxygen and then, it’s red!

We Are ALL Connected. Each of us matter. I will own my choices. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

Speak your truth. Be FREE. Yell FIRE in a theater, IF it’s on freaking FIRE!

Second teaser from my new book, Blue Eyes

Second Teaser from my new book, Blue Eyes

My new book, Blue Eyes, has passed the editing process and is now in the formatting and layout phase. It is getting a new cover and subtitle. It is due out soon. (Let me know if you’d like to be on the book launch team and be one of the first to read it!)

I thought I’d take a moment to share a page (from the ePub formatted version) in the screen capture along with the text of this story and how closely it aligns with the post, “She sees with her soul,” from Miyoshi. What synchronicities!

Unfortunately, just as we were finishing the book, my husband and love of my life, suffered symptoms of a stroke and is currently in the hospital! While we hope, pray, and believe (plus taking all the actions we can), together with hundreds of friends and family members for his complete recovery, we’ve had to stop the book cover and formatting process. Please join us in prayer for the love of my life’s recovery as well as my continued ability to be present with him as much as the hospital allows.

Many synchronicities abound and show us God’s grace! We are humbly blessed at every turn! I’ll write additional posts about “strokes” soon for those interested in that.

Again, I’m so excited to release this book out into the world, so do reach out to me (email or comment below) if you’d like to be one of the first to read it, and join the book launch team to buy it for a couple dollars and review it for me!

Much Love and many blessings to ALL!

Teaser from my new book, Blue Eyes

Teaser from my new book, Blue Eyes

My new book, Blue Eyes, is with the editor and due out within the next few weeks. (Let me know if you’d like to be on the book launch team and be one of the first to read it!)

I thought I’d take a moment to share a page (from the ePub formatted version) in the screen capture along with the text of this story and how I believe my experiences ties into what I’ve learned from Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief.

Mystical vision / visitation!

One night, I was shook awake by a profound and mystical vision of my mother! This was unlike any mere nighttime dream. 

The wholly encompassing presence of my mom (when she looked like she did in her early 40s) was something intensely surreal and mesmerizing… I shall not forget the experience. This experience was incredibly unfettered, I wanted it to last forever.

It felt as though we talked at the foot of the bed for HOURS, though I bet it was only a few minutes. I didn’t recall anything of what we discussed, save for this one message from mom:

“I Am in your blood.”

I sat up in bed—stunned. I feel this message from my mom is still applicable for you dear reader, even if you were adopted, as the ones who loved and raised you affected you! The book, Biology of Belief about the science of Epigenetics, proves that nurture is as important as nature. Those who raised you are in you also, because they programmed you.

From that morning forward, I felt a very real awareness, or knowing, that those on the Other Side are often very near to us (we simply move about unaware) because WE are busy with life—and that’s okay too!

They send us little messages (like winks from the Universe) and are thrilled when we acknowledge them and their messages. We can simply acknowledge our awareness of their presence by blowing a kiss, smiling while thinking of them, patting our arms/legs, giving ourselves a hug, whispering their name, and so on. We don’t have to explain what or why we are doing anything to anybody else. ❤️😉

Our loved ones in the Grand Beyond are living in the most beautiful, vast, indescribable place! And if we could glimpse it, we’d never grieve or wish them back here in the physical.

Therefore, I have wished to save others some grief. I’ve sent those whom I knew were grieving the following messages:

“I woke up with a thought for you about your mom (or dad, other relative).”

“Kiss the palm of your hand. Then place your hand on the side of your face.”

“Our mother’s / father’s blood (and love for us), is in our blood.”

Oh, and mom says anytime we use something they gave us, wear a piece of clothing or jewelry they bought for us, cook with a pot they used, drink from a cup of theirs, eat from a plate they left us, whisper their name, or simply think of them, that acknowledgement, or action—honors them greatly. And they feel it. (Kiss!)

Book Review: Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Book Review: Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

An energetic, illuminating, and enlightening read.

Kris Kelkar’s book, Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life, was a JOY to read! I sped through this book within a month (quite unusual for me)! It just sucked me IN! (Or perhaps, I sucked this book IN because of my extreme interest in the subject and eagerness to PULL this knowledge into ME! Haha!)

“We never see anything in its totality because everything is made up of layer upon layer of vibration that is constantly changing and exchanging information with the field. Our thinking minds create separation in an effort to understand, but that separation stops us from seeing the whole-that everything is connected to the one vibratory source, which is the Field. The Field does not only exist around us, but it also exists in us, through us, and as us.” Kris Kelkar, author Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Interconnections and Vibrations

Throughout Dancing with The Field, Kris offers us deeply engaging, easy-to-follow, information on the Science of vibrational interconnections and how The Field underpins EVERYTHING!

As an Observer of Nature, I teach others how to shift our eyes to see things differently, so we might view multiple sides of a story or the various aspects of ANYTHING. And Kris adds a beautiful explanation, in the quote I share above, for why I do what I do! Reading that one page helped crystalize (for me) what I’ve been yearning to explain, simply.

Waves of Energy

Kris writes about the waves of Energy, yes. And of magic, mystery, and coherence. He dives into Spirituality and metaphysical teachings, as he explains frameworks. And touches on Tibetan Buddhism too!

Kris and I are on the same wavelength it seems. Similar to things I teach, Kris sees spiritual practices as training wheels too, like guidance or guard rails to living life. But, not so necessarily needed that we have become enmeshed with these particular dogmas such that they become an end to our means–in other words, we don’t have to worship the framework! (Even Jesus was teaching us a WAY we could live, not that we were supposed to WORSHIP Him!)

As well, and to build on this for a moment, we can take the profound words of Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Russell Brand and codify them into a religion (Oh, wait! “New Age” probably has already done that! LOL), but we don’t have to do that, nor do I think any of them would want us to do that! I know (from speaking with him) Neale Donald Walsch doesn’t want us to worship him! (Wink to Neale!) Of course, bowing is okay and gently honoring and humbling. To BOTH parties! As each of us are fractals of Omniscience. OMG I’m on a roll! ROFL!

Okay, Sheila. Calm down. Ha! Breathe. Ground. Center. OM

Kris does emphasize the value and healing of GROUP PRAYER though, as that creates coherence in the WAVE! And I believe that too, especially after experiencing the power I felt during a recent group OM chant, led by Dr. Shamini Jain! There were about 1000 people in the room and as am empath, I could FEEL the resonance and palpable Energy during that blissful coherent chant! I could FEEL the resonance in my soul as the blood in my body produced GodBumps!!!

I’ve been teaching certain classes and practices, methods and processes within my larger Integrated Spiral™ DE-Program (link here; and example of the process here) for over a year. But Kris summed it all up so nicely in this quote:

“We never see anything in its totality because everything is made up of layer upon layer of vibration that is constantly changing and exchanging information with the field. Our thinking minds create separation in an effort to understand, but that separation stops us from seeing the whole-that everything is connected to the one vibratory source, which is the Field. The Field does not only exist around us, but it also exists in us, through us, and as us.”

Kris Kelkar, author Dancing with The Field: Bringing Joy, Passion and Play into Everyday Life

Favorite chapters

My favorite chapters, which I plan to read again and again, are:

  • Our Bodies are Doorways to the Field
  • Balanced, Attuned, and Aligned (as I’ve been doing the balancing and integrating, but with less focus on tuning. And why we read books like this–to remind us!)
  • The Field in Relationship (as my husband and I practice this a LOT!)
  • The Nutrient of Attention (as I struggle from having suffered “low self esteem” when I was young, to now, a few calling ME (ha!) “arrogant”!)
  • Breathing in The Field
  • Ecstatic Breathing
  • Conscious Slow Breathing
  • Breathing Bypasses Programming

Notice all the chapters having to do with BREATHING are favorites.

Why?

Ready?

Because I’m a BREATHER! Haha!

Sorry, sorry… but that’s a twist on a favorite movie line of mine from Something about Mary, “We got a bleeder!” – and if you haven’t seen it or don’t remember, here’s a clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBwTeyZDRos

In summary

I’ve been a student of Nassim Haramein for several years, so I “get” what The Field is (and is no doubt why I was drawn to buy this book). BUT, I had not read any other book where someone from Kris’ background and education could explain certain things in a language that more matched my own, without all the scientific terms. (I do consider myself a scientist, but only in the natural sense of the word, as I observe, measure, research, test/experiment, and document.)

I love that Kris has also learned from the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza. Love Dr. Joe! Now, I’m wondering if I’ll bump into Kris at any event with Wim Hof, Dr. Bruce Lipton, or Gregg Braden?!? Ha! I bet we’ll meet one day!

For me, after finishing this book yesterday… and once again I resoundingly state that, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

Book Review: New Perspectives, Past Lives

Book Review: New Perspectives, Past Lives

A beautiful soul-reaching, inspiring, reverent, vulnerable, and enlightening read!

Book Review (showing Book Cover): New Perspectives, Past Lives

Shari Hinkle’s book, New Perspectives, Past Lives is a book that I spent quite a while reading as it touched me deeply. Knowing Shari personally, having traveled with her (and a group) to Ireland, England, and Scotland in the summer of 2019 helped too, as I could hear her voice in my head as I read, and put a frame around some things she’s told me.

Meet Shari

Massage therapist, Pilates instructor, and new author, Shari Hinkle, Connects with me on so many levels! And we can talk for hours, even while she’s massaging this body that I inhabit! LOL (then again, I am always intrigued and asking questions of most of my massage therapist (LMT) friends! Go figure!)

Shari and I seek and observe (and then share) many of the synchronicities that we each experience. And we both love talking about anything that’s vibrational in nature, Energy Medicine, personal responsibility and choices, as well as, how We Are All Connected (and interconnections that are ALL around us)!

After having many profound past life regression sessions with Patricia McGivern and writing this book, Shari also offers past life regression sessions to clients. And if you’re interested, continue reading and consider connecting with Shari for your own session.

Interconnections and Vibrations

Throughout New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari offers us more about how everything is interconnected through Vibration. She explains why we use phrases like, “feeling blue,” “out of the blue,” and “green with envy.” (Remember, color is a vibration).

Shari also explores how our soul can draw us to a physical place and location, such as how we were drawn to the Sacred Sites of visit Ireland, England, and Scotland. She calls this kind of draw an “energy of connectedness.”

Layers of Energy

Shari writes about the layers of Energy and lessons she learned from re-experiencing her past lives through her hypnosis past life regressions sessions with Patricia McGivern.

Shari was re-introduced to characters as she made her way through a series of past life regressions with Patricia, and some of those persons (or personages) were people she’s met in THIS life! Baffling and thrilling, right? I won’t spoil it for you, but when you read it, look closely at the character, Gilda.

In one past life, Shari learned that “There is Power in the Pause.” (capitals mine) I meditated on that sentence for some time. (And as you may remember I love the book, Power over Force, and as a writer the word Power tends to always leap off a page!)

I found that Shari’s way of explaining bodily sensations were unique in this book, and I believe that’s because of the training in massage and Pilates she’s had. She puts a special spin on things that I’ve felt but had a hard time describing! Here’s one quick example,

The “imprint” of energy began to magnify up to my brow bone and then around my head.”

From New Perspectives, Past Lives by Shari Hinkle

Loving reminders

In New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari touched on something one of my grandfathers always used to say, “Stop and smell the flowers.” Statements such as these, as I read them, make me feel as though my family on the other side of The Veil are sitting beside me! Ah! Love it.

Some layers of stuck energy actually hinder us from living up to our highest potential, or keep us from “shining bring” as Shari says. I know after our trip to the Sacred Sites on our Sacred Celtic Journey in July 2019, I began writing emails–even business emails–starting with the words, “Hello bright shining ones.” I had never done that before!

If you think re-living a past life experience might be painful, know that a hypnotherapist can bring you back to reality very quickly. And that immediately, or within some short time period following the session, you’ll probably feel relief (either physical, mental, or emotional) from having gone through the process and released something that had been bound in that former life. That’s certainly been my experience, as well as gain broader, deeper, and a much more intimately personal understanding of spirit, Omniscience God, sense of Compassion for others, and ALL.

In summary

New Perspectives, Past Lives is soul-expanding, and mesmerizing. It is relevant (especially if you have unexplained body pain), enlightening, and curious–in the mystical way.

For me, the new perspective I gained confirmed once again that, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

Book Review: What Dreams Have Come

Book Review: What Dreams Have Come

A beautiful soul-reaching, inspiring, reverent, vulnerable, and enlightening read!

What Dreams Have Come book cover

What Dreams Have Come is an excellent book! I read it within 24 hours, as it is highly engaging, elegantly, and lovingly written!

Intimately personal

Film producer, co-founder of the Spiritual Cinema Circle, and author, Stephen Simon, with his beloved wife Lauren (who gently crossed over to the Grand Beyond in her sleep), provides us ALL the opportunity to gain a sense of the “Other Side,” while welcoming us into their personal lives (by sharing the synchronicities of how they met, including family photos, and intricate details).

Over the years of seeing Stephen host the monthly DVD Spiritual Cinema Circle, we felt we had gotten to know him, personally. And he would often speak of Lauren and all the work she did for the Circle. We also felt Connected to Stephen and Lauren through their posts on Facebook. But never did I feel as privy to their innermost thoughts as I have sensed from reading this book. If eyes are the windows to the soul, then books such as these are doors to the heart.

Intertwining honor and love

Stephen and Lauren lovingly crafted a book rich in story that graciously includes the ways they honored and cared for each other (and continue to), as well as demonstrate the ways in which they highly value inclusivity (by bringing us in and honoring their family, neighbors and friends—including my favorite spiritual author).

Emotionally stirring

I cried, laughed, and yes, had jaw-drop moments while reading, What Dreams Have Come. I resonated with much of Stephen and Lauren’s candor and playfulness. (And not to give anything away, but my husband and I often recite our favorite movie lines to each other too!)

There were the touching moments of serendipity and synchronicity built into the way Stephen and Lauren met, and noted all the way through their marriage. The way they shared their pain and triumphs were inspiring to me.

I also really loved the end of the book—totally thrilling! And of course, this is not the end of a love and life together for the Simons.

UPDATE: Please listen to Stephen Simon’s interview with Allison Dubois: Interview

In summary

This book is soul-reaching, and deeply inspiring. It is reverent, vulnerable, and enlightening. I’m in awe of what Love can do—in ALL ways.
