As long as there are secret societies (or events) like the Bohemian Grove, Jekyll Island, and Epstein Island (if you haven’t heard about this, you can go to YouTube or favorite search engine to learn about it), there will be elitist rulers over slaves. And if we are not allowed to be privy to this information, don’t kid yourself, we are slaves. We are Controlled. ❤️🦋🌀〰️🔥🙏☯️
I woke up today to read of the 17 day Bohemian Grove event, and my mind immediately drifted to the slaves who built the pyramids. (Pyramids in Egypt and in South America).
From Secrets to Pyramids ❤️🦋🌀☯️
Many of us (born after World War II), were raised with the saying, “Loose lips sink ships.” In regard to necessary National Security (which is the secrecy to protect our nation). Interesting how close the word, Security, is to the word, Secret. No?
As long as there are nations to protect, there will be borders to protect. Thus, national security issues.
Pyramid Schemes
Most people think pyramid schemes are Ponzi schemes.
The less knowledgeable accuse multi-level and network marketing companies of being pyramid schemes. They are not. They are one of the easiest ways for people with hardly any up front cash, to actually get rich—maybe not quickly, but nonetheless I have seen it happen.
What’s absurd is that these MLM and network marketing companies model their businesses after other companies who legally “get away with” fraud—yes, the fraud that most people think they’re guilty of committing!
However, I find it very interesting that there are many ways for governments (think lobbyists), and multinational corporations (think stock trading and currency exchanges), to behave in ways quite similar to pyramid and Ponzi schemes, yet no one is being prosecuted.
Banks and insurance companies seem to skip happily along, all the while, taking advantage of the “little guy.” Present day raping and pillaging.
A few years ago, I was told by two different friends to watch a documentary called, Pyramid Code. Here’s the extended trailer for that intriguing movie: https://youtu.be/04j7rksyRzQ
Even before I laid my hands on the neolithic stones at Knowth and Newgrange in Ireland, and Avebury in England, and dropped quickly into meditation seated near a bluestone inside the stone circle of Stonehenge, I believed “The Powers that Be” were holding things back from us. Concealing secrets that could shift our world view.
Knowth and Newgrange are now thought to be the oldest astronomically oriented structures known to exist, predating Stonehenge in England and the great pyramids of Egypt. But for whatever reasons, they haven’t been romanticized as much. Perhaps, there are political reasons.
I knew many years ago that secrets were kept from us. I just didn’t know how far down the rabbit hole I would have to go, or if I would want to know, how intricately Everything is Connected.
And I bet that I am only continuing to scratch the surface.

Why should we care about anyone’s lifestyle choices?
Why should you care about whether my husband and I have sex or not? Or why should we care who sleeps with who? (Consent implied.)
Why are other people’s personal lifestyle choices any of our business? Why do we judge?
I get that you may care about my well-being because:
I am a human;
I’m a woman, mom, and grandmother;
I am kind;
I am an empath;
I am sensitive.
And that’s all well and good.
I care about you too! Because We Are All Connected.
We are each a bright shining fractal of Ever-Living, LIMITLESS Source Energy! Creation never ceases!
I am love-and-in my spirit and heart: I love unconditionally–that means without conditions, such as: I don’t care how much money you have or don’t have. I don’t care what ancestry you have, what skin tone, what ailments, what religion-or not, and certainly not what gender or sexual orientation you are-think you are or want to be!
Underneath the outer layer of our skin, we are all pink! Our blood is blue until exposed to oxygen and then, it’s red!
I think we care about each other because we are human. We are ALL human beings.
Why are other people’s personal lifestyle choices any of our business? Why do we judge?
Sex life – must it be out in the open?
There, I said it.
Where are my BISEXUAL friends?
Men, women, non-binaries?
Are you willing to speak up?
And why is it important to authentically speak our truth?
I don’t want to exclude ANYONE. I want to be known for Inclusivity.
Because We Are ALL Connected. Because I believe each of us matter. I believe each of our voices matter. ❤️🦋🌀〰️
And, yes, I want you to yell FIRE in a theater, IF it’s on freaking FIRE!
Speaking your truth is healing!
Family secrets
For many years of my life my mother didn’t trust my dad. She loved him dearly, but he had committed infidelities. She trusted me and told me when I was young of his indescretions. Probably not the best thing to do, but my mother was very close to me. For years, she called me her miracle child, her angel. And I don’t think she ever meant to turn me against my dad, but she needed someone she could trust and so, she confided in me.
Many years later, after her passing, my adult son, found pages and pages of her diary. And many of the things he read were disturbing.
He’d not heard all of the “bad” stories about my dad before and he was getting the uncut version from mom’s writing.
Since my son was very close to my dad, these revelations from the pages of mom’s diary threw my son into a tailspin, literally! (In fact, he had an accident one night after learning all that and it nearly killed him!)
In one letter my mom even accused my dad of “running around with men.”
I had seen a similar note she had written too, and she had used the word, “camp.” Since they did call their northern home “the camp” and since we all went camping, I didn’t think much of it, until I mentioned it to a gay friend. He asked me, “don’t you know why men use the word, “camp”? And I didn’t—though I had heard some references to certain movies being “camp,” like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was pretty gay.
Anyway, I will never know if my mom’s suspicions were founded on anything true or not, other than I know my dad was a lady’s man. And my whole point here is to ponder why I should care anyway.
When a friend of mine posted the following one day on Facebook, it brought up all these memories and I started taking down some notes on the subject:
Post from a friend
Jan 31, 2019 S.S. a friend of mine posted the following on Facebook:
Who are my BISEXUAL friends out there?! Men, women, non-binaries? Are you willing to speak up? I’ve been reflecting on the invisibility of our kind… LOL. It’s funny, but not funny. Sometimes it’s really damaging or just plain frustrating. Are we now willing to admit it to it? When maybe it’s been safer not to. It’s been a long road for me to talk about it publicly. But then, how do we find and know each other? For support, for connection, for community… It’s a unique and often lonely path seeking to be understood by our families, our culture, even our friends… even WITHIN Pride community. Can we find better ways to be included? To support one another. To be seen and heard. How does being bisexual affect our relationships? Our choices? Our mental health? How do we self-determine or craft our personal narrative outside the lines of “moderate” culture? How do we get better at articulating our truths in this world?… Thoughts? Love you ALL for your courage to live authentically! ❤❤❤ #BeProudOfWhoYouAre #RadicalAuthenticity (As a disclaimer, bisexual is just the term I identify with most strongly. Of course, this is meant to be inclusive of those who consider themselves pansexual, omnisexual and heteroflexible. 😊)

I humbly applaud my friend for her transparency to share. I felt the courage and conviction of her words. Yet, I sat on several drafts of THIS post for YEARS.
No labels
I am all for NO LABELS!
I could care less what people do (or with whom) in the privacy of their homes, cars, RVs, motel rooms, tents, bathrooms, etc. and I don’t even mind public reasonable shows of affection (it doesn’t have to be vulgar—yes I know I am still judging). And between consenting adults, please. (My mind cannot abide with people taking advantage of children—see my previous post about that.)
Yes, I accept all for who they are. (But I don’t have to live with them.) I have had way too many experiences on different levels than to judge—more than I just did.
We were given a brain and free will though. We do NOT have to remain in abusive situations!
My adult kids and I have talked about this issue a ton of times, and I love our open communications about it all. (We have talked more since my son found mom’s diary pages.)
Neither of my kids judge others either, and as a parent, that’s something I am exceedingly happy about. (Because I feel it’s the one thing I did right as a parent)! 😉🥰❤️
But secrets can still be disturbing when they are revealed.
Putting all this out here, on my public blog? Well, it sort of feels like I am in that dream where you go to school naked!
It is far easier for me to tell you what Heaven (what I call the Grand Beyond) looks like than talk about sex here.
Isn’t that weird?
Are you ready to bare your soul? Free your soul?

My biggest takeaway from 2021, was to give myself a physical pat on the back for accomplishing sooo much—though I had multiple obstacles and challenges.
Think patting yourself on the back for your accomplishments is bad? That could be a limiting belief.
If you don’t pat yourself on the back, it’s doubtful that anyone else will.
Patting yourself on the back is NOT arrogant or egotistical! You work hard. You are studious. Resilient. And you’re flexible. Adaptable. Look yourself in the eyes (in a mirror) and SMILE!
My husband has this saying, “He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted”! Haha! What do you think of that?
Plan for success
I keep a variety of notes around me, from little sticky notes, to journals, to poster drawings of my spiral method, to notes and research on my laptop and in my iPhone.
“The spiral of energy is akin to layers of an onion. And each layer of that onion, using reductionist thinking, could be sold as truth—as the only part of the onion that exists.” Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
When inspiration comes, I jot it down and sometimes I post these on Facebook or Instagram. The ones that really resonate with me, I put on a shirt, mug, or such:
To create my success, I set my sights on accomplishing the my top 5 goals by believing in myself, my brain and body, and in my voice. My daily practices include:
Gratitude Flow (IntegratedSpiral.com)
Meditation
Singing (to feel good)
Moving (to burn cortisol), Qigong / Yoga, Dancing
Acupressure
Doing Energy work: EFT Tapping, Eden Method, etc.
Writing
To elaborate
Dancing adds JOY into each day and helps me burn calories.
My Integrated Spiral™ Gratitude F-L-O-W keeps me grounded and in touch with my ancestors and relations in the Grand Beyond. Yes, We Are All Connected. 💙🦋🌀〰️
Meeting with Clubhouse groups (keeps my mindset UP).
Staying in touch with family and friends keeps me accountable (and strengthens my integrity.
Tracking my steps, weighing in, and measuring my body weekly, helps me stay focused on my health.
Posting something everyday on social media builds my following. I love sharing my perspective on reality in hopes that it uplifts others (and their businesses), though I acknowledge “shadow” too, because I believe in yin and yang, and balance. ☯️
With a little help from my friends
Take It Upon Yourself and strengthen the unseen “fabric” that connects us ALL.
I’ve been thrilled to sit in circle with Patti Stevens. And be a part of her Women’s Soul Journey group on Facebook. I met Patti on a yoga cruise in January of 2020, and had an instant soul Connection with her.
Shout out to Robin Quinn Keehn!
Robin runs her own business called, Quitting Culture and has been one of my cheerleaders throughout 2020 and 2021. She’s super confident and full of integrity! I highly recommend her if you’re just starting out in business.
As well, Marilen Crump runs the Phenomenal Female Business Network and has been running business masterminds groups for women for many years. I’m in a couple of her groups and I have actually partnered with fantastic entrepreneurs via these groups! My tip: When networking online (especially in Facebook groups), simply be your helpful self and you’ll attract your authentic tribe who wants to work with you. ❤️😉
Queen Kimmie Tyson is another one of my cheerleaders who runs a thriving business and podcast with her musical husband, Shawn7. Queen Kimmie got me into Clubhouse and I have made incredible friends with several through sharing unscripted there from the depths of my soul. Connect with me there by searching my name or “Spiral Sister” to join our calls.
I’m telling you, it’s so encouraging and motivating to have a group of fantastic business mentors on your side.
My TOP 5 goals for 2021 were:
Integration of my Spirit and Soul into ALL I am and do DAILY, to help me stay balanced and Connected
Take Joy in running Integrated Spiral (a transformational, small group, self-coaching DE-program)
Close open loops within the week and celebrate to reinforce that habit
Market our music while promoting others (as I have been doing on N1M)
Continue writing (metaphysical novel in progress), created a course on Communing with TREES, blogging, creating t-shirt designs and more, and generating ideas for a Vlog or podcast
Forward progress is continuing.
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀🎼☯️🙏☮️

The house that Sheila built is not a house in the physical sense, but a house of Connected Persons. Persons who are Connected to me spiritually and soulfully. These are people who are of the utmost importance to me. The VIPs of my life!
Perhaps this is a sort of moral inventory I am making here, but as a store has inventory, my “house” is made up of all the dear people I have had the immense pleasure to know.
As an only child, I am humbled and surprised at the number of incredible people who have and continue to walk the road of life with me. Hmm, what a thought!
Husband
I’ve heard it said that as we age, friendship with our spouse, or significant other, is more important than physical attraction (or sex). I agree.
If you are lucky enough to meet and marry your soulmate, then there’s that. And it’s really beautiful if you can bring as much happiness to this person as you do for yourself.
My husband, Richard, is truly my soulmate and “love of my life.” ❤️🙏😘
My first two marriages ended badly, and while I learned life lessons from both relationships, I regret the hurt and pain. I can’t turn back time. And for my part, and yes, each person owns some of the responsibility of failing in those situations (no one is really better than another when it comes right down to it), but for some, that takes years to see. Thus, I am sorry. I thought I did my best, but we can’t see what we can’t SEE.
Children and grandchildren
It takes children to make grandchildren. Thus, it seems I should speak of my own children next, but no. Reason being, I wasn’t as mindful or “aware” of the profound soul Connection I had to my children when they were young.
So, let me tell you about the deep soul Connection I have with my eldest granddaughter, Jennifer Ann. My relationship with her best represents how nuanced and intricately interlaced ALL of our Connections are (though for the most part, unacknowledged).
My story with Jennifer goes back 10 years…
I was working in Boca Raton, Florida. I still remember taking my cell phone outside and walking up and down the hall while breathing with my daughter while she was in labor with Jennifer. I missed Jennifer’s actual birth, but treasure my memories of helping my daughter with her childbirth breathwork (eventually, Jennifer had to be born via C-section).
Anyway, as soon as I could, I took a few days off and flew to Connecticut, so I could comfort my daughter and meet my new granddaughter. Oh, she was an indescribable JOY to hold!
Throughout my visit, I observed (and felt) the spiritual Connection between Jennifer and myself. I explained the experience in my book as follows:
When I held Jennifer, I felt an immense resonance – truly representative of “Unconditional Love and LIMITLESS Source Energy.”
I spoke these words to Jennifer, “I know who you are. You are pure positive Source Energy.” At the precise moment the word “energy” left my lips, Jennifer whipped her head around – so much so that it surprised me – and looked me straight in the eye! The look she gave me as our eyes met seemed to ask, “How did you know”?
Excerpt from: Murrey, Sheila. “Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life!” Apple Books. This material may be protected by copyright.
Years later, when my twin granddaughters were born, I flew to New Hampshire, but this trip north challenged me to drive in the snow and ice over an hour from the airport to the hospital. I’d do it all over again though, as to stay in the hospital with my daughter and her girls the first 3 days of their lives was a priceless experience!
While holding my twin granddaughters those first days, I felt the nearly indescribable love and soul Connection with each of them that I’d felt (and continue to feel), with Jennifer.
At the end of one of my visits, I had instinctively swirled my fingers towards both girls in an energetic spiral manner, and both Jaclyn and Jewel had loved it. (Later I realized my dad had done this, so my spinning my index finger in circles wasn’t “instinct,” it was learned and fixed in my subconscious!)
On a subsequent visit, one of the twins, Jewel, had began twisting and twirling a lock of her hair. At that moment, however subconsciously, I believe Integrated Spiral was birthed.
I didn’t acknowledge or realize my previous spiral energy actions had made any influenceon the girls until Jewel began twirling her hair.
I thought about the times when my two children were babies and my dad had swirled his finger towards their bellies and said, “bory bory” (we still don’t know why or what it means), and they would gleefully coo! Children are sooo easily mesmerized!
Coming back around full circle to my children, I love my daughter and son dearly. I cannot imagine who I’d be, or even if I would still be alive at this point, had they not come into my life when they did. I grew up in multitudinous ways with them. ❤️
Extended family
We don’t pick these folks, but love them or not, they can teach you invaluable life lessons if you are open to receive. So, judge not.
We all seem to switch places as the years go on, and you really don’t know who will come through for you when you least expect it and need them most.
Mentors
I’ve written a previous blog (here), some years ago about the exquisite mentors I have had the privilege to know, work for, and befriend. I do not believe I could have progressed in my life and career without their brilliant advice, support, and friendship.
Everyone should have a mentor and in turn, mentor someone. It is a rich relationship, that reaps lifelong benefits, well beyond money. A mentor can bring balance and stability, by bringing new awareness and offering you different perspectives.
Often the old saying is true, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.
Friends
When I was young, I always befriended those who were not immediately or easily acknowledged, accepted or liked by others.
I have always stood up for the underdog. And I have been bullied for it.
When the first black family moved to our town, I befriended the children. They were sooo friendly and we got along famously! I didn’t see color or ever think to treat anyone any differently because of their skin tone, or any different feature, but other kids did and I was curious as to why that was the case.
I went home and mentioned to my folks how much I enjoyed my new friends company (and how not many others seemed to) and my mom was fine with me inviting them over. But my dad cautioned me saying, “you can be friends, but nothing more.” Later, my mom clarified that dad would never want me to date anyone of a different race or nationality.
It was the first I knew of racism, and it really perplexed and bewildered me! I felt the emotional pain of conflicting thoughts.
Thankfully, dad changed (or softened) many of his views before he left this earth, but the memory of that emotional hurt still lingers. My mom was much more open to discussing race with me because of our Cherokee Native American ancestry. (I am of mixed ethnicity.)
Though my complexion is light, I consider ALL my brothers and sisters. It is also why I wrote this:
“Dancing with the Energy,
In the pinpoint center of the spiral,
She came alone with no siblings.
But as she unwound herself, the spiral emerged.
Then, she harmonized with many, and THEY became her siblings.” ❤️🦋🌀
To this day, I hold my true friends near and dear to my heart. I love that my circle of friends include beautiful hearts and souls of every race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc.
Sheila’s poem, “Dancing with the Energy” – screen capture from her Clubhouse bio.
I choose friends based on their heart, and the soul Connection I feel when I am with them (even if only by voice).
Yes, interestingly, some of my dearest friends I haven’t even met in person. We’ve only met by phone on Clubhouse or on Zoom. Soul Connections do not rely on the physical. Isn’t that intriguing?
Colleagues
After having spent 30 plus years in Information Technology, I have gotten to know and spent many days, weeks, months, and years working with many excellent colleagues. And I do mean, incredible people. I am thrilled to have formed lasting friendships with many.
Several former colleagues continue to Connect with me (even if initiated for a reference—but always to chat about a bit more than superficial things). I am always happy to hear from them. Giving out professional references is one way I can “give back” in honor of the help and advice my mentors always graciously gave me.
In particular, I want to thank the many “scary smart” folks I had the pleasure of getting to know, and working with at:
The Veterans Administration on the VETSNET team (4 years, 4 months) of employees and contractors from Liberty, Booz Allen Hamilton, Halfaker, and others, while employed by Advanced Systems Design (ASD).
Emerson Process Management (3 years)
Jabil Circuit
AT&T Mobility
Walt Disney World, Parks & Resorts Operations
Campus Management
Florida Virtual School
US Air Force Space Wing (2)
NASA, Space Gateway Support, and InDyne Inc. at Kennedy Space Center (5)
Lone Star College
OnSource Consulting, Inc.
Ellucian (4)
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (10)
Acquaintances
Smile. Be nice or at least kind to everyone you meet. You really never know when or where people will pop back into your life.
I have had some people show back up in my life (from seemingly unimportant encounters), that have utterly astonished me.
Some individuals have shown up again in my life “out of the blue” providing me evidence that metaphysical or supernatural powers are indeed at work—often. There’s simply been too many bizarre and uncanny encounters occur (incredibly timed) for me to simply chalk these kinds of experiences up as “coincidences.”
In closing
I believe (because I’ve witnessed it), that everyone moves along at differing rates of speed. And thinking that thought helps me when I don’t understand another’s perspective. As well, my mantra of Everything Resolves to Gratitude helps me a lot too!
I choose to hang with uplifting souls to help mySelf! It simply FEELS great! ❤️🦋🌀〰️
The more things change, the more they seem to circle back (and stay the same).
So, I would like to offer the main intention I bring into each relationship, and yes, at the start of each day and in any difficult moment:
To offer a way to open your mind to receive the Connected nature of it ALL.

One weekend in 2017, a friend and I attended a Fairy Faire at Spirit University in Sarasota, Florida. I’m drawn to the unusual, yet I had never gone to an event quite like this before.
Spirit University held the event both inside their building and outside, with a roped off area. Inside, there were about 12 psychics offering readings. And outside, there were two food trucks, and about 10 vendors selling various things. It was a spritely time. 🧚♀️
There were only 3 musicians playing music throughout the day outside.
Their emcee introduced a variety of speakers. Each speaker talked for 15-20 minutes on spiritual topics. A friend, John Springer, spoke about the faerie realm and passed around photo albums of the many pictures he had taken of the places where faeries might live, in the woodlands and forests. I was enthralled!
It was $3 to get in the door and they put a paper wrist band on us so we could go in/out of the building. Readings were done upstairs, just the way they used to do it at another venue I’d attended in the past.
My mother had recently passed and I had hoped to hear something reassuring from her. But I didn’t set any particular expectations.
What happened next, quickened my heartbeat and stunned me to my core.
Just as I sat down with my reader to begin the reading, I could hear a distinct change in the music that was wafting in from outside. It was Celtic music! This went on during the whole time of my reading!
By the time we’d finished and I made my way back downstairs and outside, the Celtic music had stopped. It was sooo surreal.
I don’t remember a lot of the words from the reading (though I did record it). I did Connect with the reader and felt she was “onto something.” But I will never forget the Feeling of Presence. Perhaps it was my mom directing the Irish music, or my ancestors. I don’t know, nor does it matter. What matters most, is that I felt totally supported.
Everything I learned from attending this Fairy Faire, influenced what would come next in my life, such as my decision to go on a Sacred Celtic Journey. As well, the knowingness I gleaned continues to inform the work that I do within the transformative program of: Integrated Spiral™
John Springer crossed over to the Grand Beyond recently, and I pulled out my notes to write this article, in both memory of him, and to honor the faeries.
The feeling of opening I felt while listening to John speak so lovingly and graciously about the faerie realm, really made an impression on me. John taught me to place crystals, shiny buttons, or other small pretty things, outside for the faeries. Sprites love shiny things.
I learned if you take something from an area, such as a small rock or stone, you leave something for the fairies.
While I have always loved animals, it has taken me much longer to appreciate insects, birds, trees, and forests. And that’s okay, because I appreciate them, Now.
If you look closely, you may see a sprite (faerie) or two, atop the yellow flowers I’m standing near at Glastonbury, England. (2019)
When I planted a fig tree on the property in Hollister, Florida (where we lived Off Grid for 17 months), I placed many crystals and a few broken pieces of jewelry, in a circle around the tree, as gifts to the sprites. And a wink to my teachers.
Note to self: While we were on our Sacred Celtic Journey, friends, John and Carol told me about the John Van Aucken book on fairies gnomes and elementals. I have yet to read it, but it’s on my list! ❤️🦋🌀〰️
Sometimes, when I wake in the wee hours of the morning, I remember that Celtic music… 🎼 🎶 🎵 I remember and listen. I imagine I’m back in Ireland, England, and Scotland. I feel for my roots. I imagine my family. The generations before. I smile. I cry. I give thanks for magic and mystery. I feel all is well. Even when appearances may want to suggest otherwise. I know much is not what it seems.
The faeries have taught me that.
Many blessings to you in ALL ways.

When your loved one is passing, or has just crossed over to the Grand Beyond, OUR collective hearts are with you, dear one!
Any perceived loss of life, feels like loss for ALL of us, as I ponder a quote from my dear, minister uncle:
The loss of life, no matter how old or young, one minute or 100 years is a loss for us as human beings.
Our consolation is that one day WE will see them, meet them and share with them for all of eternity. For now and hereafter they remain with God in a beautiful realm of peace and love, they are living and growing and experiencing the best of everything. They will have much to tell us and WE to tell them.
I will in no way rush my time, but on the other hand I can’t wait to see what all God has prepared for us and be able to have unlimited learning and exploration and share with all peoples from the beginning of creation.
I firmly believe we will be able to re-remember what it was like before we left that wonderful place before we left to come here. There is so much to look forward to.

Everybody hurts
We all know when a beloved transitions, what is an exuberant ride for them into the Grand glorious Beyond (it is for them!), yet it can trigger BIG sadness, and any or all stages of grief in us!
We grieve their daily struggles.
We grieve the fact that they are/were not in our daily presence (while some may have been ill while still living in their earthly body).
We, those you see AND those of us you cannot see, lift you spiritually and psychically (those of you in grief or struggle) UP, uplifting ALL in love. Believe that. Know that.
Cry.
Tears can be cleansing. Grief hurts. Release.
We are lifting you UP, IN, OUT and THROUGH in big ole ACTIVE prayer 🙏 believing always (in ALL ways!) for your better health, healing, and vitality!! For your highest good. For your wholeness.
It is possible for you to LISTEN and witness another’s grief, upset, without getting energetically sucked in.
Big God
HUGE!
One might even say, Omniscience God (like I do)! 💕
In considering Omniscience, as an Ever-Living, Ever-Conscious, Ever-Expanding, Ever-Pulsing, Ever-BEing… Energy… WE KNOW nothing (no thing) happens outside of Omniscience. Therefore, WE are ALL enveloped by Omniscience. And WE are ALL so LOVED!!
Love yourself. Then, go BE LOVE!
And if you misstep, don’t worry. As soon as you see, become aware, of the misstep, shore up your footing, and simply start again. Be kind to yourself.
Like a toddler learning to walk, you can do this. It is ALL practice.
On loss
When it feels like the world is turning in slow motion… Honor the memory of those not in your day-to-day present moment, in any way that feels right to you, Now. Get back into your body, exercise and move.
Sometimes we experience loss, not only when we lose a loved one to the so-called death process, but when we lose a job or home. Any change in our daily routine can set us up to FEEL loss.
Please know your feelings are natural, even when your perceptions are only based on your physical senses (or illusions). It is natural to grieve. Yet, you don’t need to get stuck there.
I’m not merely sorry for your loss (which always sounds callous to me when people say that), I am sorry for your grief. I don’t think grief is good. I know tears can be cleansing, but sh*t. Grief hurts.
There is Limitless, Infinite Love available for you.
You are never really ever alone.
Reach for us. Whisper our names. WE are with you.
Whatever WE can do, our intentions are to do for you while you are going through sad times.
Know WE are there for you in spirit.
In ALL directions, Above, and Below, as in Heaven, grounded on Earth, WE are there.
We are ALL One
Speak love to the 100 trillion cells of your body.
Feel our presence, Now.
WE are ONE.
If you are upset about anything, or in grief (like me), or have read / viewed things that got your dander up, (especially things that call out “unifying” as bad—even if you are already balancing and lifting that), we can work through it together.
I am breathing with you ALL.
We Are ALL Connected.
Everything Resolves to Gratitude.❤️
In, around, and through. Big Love. Hugs!

As a highly sensitive person and empath, I experience the feelings of others.
I love to find new ways to think and feel that help me keep my heart open to others (and my ego in check. Meaning maintaining a healthy ego—not being egotistical). ❤️😉
On empathy and being an Empath
The Power of Like and Connection
A friend of mine, Michelle Howe, runs Empath Evolution. I highly recommend her and her work.
About Empathy, Michelle writes, “The POWER of LIKE…….. is really the power of connection…. it’s not about how much you know…. or, what you look like….. or, how much money you make…. It’s the power to put others at ease within conversation and CONNECT to FEEL GOOD with one another.
It’s so interesting….. In making my decisions, this one little thing overrules the rest of the stuff. I have to really enjoy someone which, means our energies compliment one another……. You know it immediately… it’s like a soft pillow.”
And my reply was: I love that! And now I feel even better about myself as I have often been told (in my tech career), that I easily put others at ease. ❤️🦋🌀😉
Speaking of Power
After watching the story of how Sly Stallone got his movie, Rocky, made—I made the following observations:
Sometimes we do things (things of which, we may not be so proud), but all of it had to happen, just the way it did, for us to build our character, and allow us to have compassion and empathy for others. For when we walk empathically on the Earth, we can be real and genuine. And then, when we make it to what most perceive as “the top,” we carry ourselves with grace, and easily off grace to others.
I can only speak for me, but I think keeping my ego in balance, taking responsibility for all of my thoughts, words, and deeds, using natural health solutions, and staying grounded, are all major reasons I am drawn to Shamanism.
Empaths and Boundaries
I wholly agree with Sadee Whip.
Sadee says, “I often hear people who identify as empaths talk about how overwhelmed they get, how much they take on the energy of others, how hard it can be feeling so much of what is going on around them, etc.
My dears, what you are actually identifying is not the burden of being an empath, but the imbalance you are experiencing at the lack of your own developed warrior energy.
Warrior energy is an ability to use healthy anger and righteousness to set boundaries, say “no”, and properly protect and defend oneself.
If you are experiencing problems being an empath, seek to bring about balance and wholeness within yourself.
This means use your voice.
Say no.
Tell people they are full of shit when they are.
Don’t let others walk all over you.
Don’t let others disrespect you.
Don’t give of yourself until you are depleted.
Ask for what you need.
Accept responsibility for your circumstances.
Being an empath, I promise you, is not actually the problem.
Learning to be open and not bleed out is an art. One worth practicing. Focus on your warrior energy and bring that into balance with the empath energy and you will find both peace and power.”
And to this question: How does this work for healers – mental health therapists, social workers, teachers, etc? I can only say no and set boundaries to an extent in my daily life. My entire day involves saying yes to walking with others through their trauma and pain.
My friend, Andrea, shared her answer: It’s more about people letting others energies in. Picture your own personal energy space surrounding you about three feet out, with a pink cord from your heart out to others. We stayed connected to others by the pink heart cord, but we don’t let others energies into our personal, self contained space- unless we want to.
This practice is one people can learn to keep others energies from affecting them, draining their energy and so forth. One can do energy clearing every day, from head to toe, visualizing a silver waterfall (and if you do this while showering it can be even more effective, as water is extremely energetically and physically cleansing). And then you can visualize your body surrounded by white or gold light. You can also visualize the violet flame inside your chakras too. This burns off all residual energies of others. (Many thanks to Andrea for this recommended practice!) You can read more at: Andrea’s Personal Blog.

When we turn something alive, like spirit, into a commodity — the commercial focus of the act can warp how one looks and feels about it.
Spiritual “Currency” is always in FLOW. It is like a natural river that cannot be “turned off.” And if we dam it up, it can cause seemingly unnatural “problems.”
Let’s unpack what it looks like to stay energetically, Current. And talk about the F-L-O-W of currency (as in the flow of Energy).
This is the reason BEing Jesus (living out the teachings He taught), looks so very different than how enlightened ones (those who have experienced mystical moments) perceive the dogma and structure of “Christianity.”
Indeed the very nature of the original teachings (early Church) that Jesus asked His disciples to “go out to the world” and share, was quite different than what is being preached in thousands of so-called, Christian churches.
I am not a “Church expert,” by any means. But, from what I have gleaned from the teachings IN a variety of faiths, compared to what I know of the experiential acts of Jesus, (and the Energy he was Connected to, using, etc. however you want to say it), I get a very different sense of how we’re actually supposed to be living.
We ARE the Church. We have access to the Energy. That same ever-flowing Life Energy.
And I see where I fall short.
Background
While communing with a magnificent Live Oak tree (on the family property where we’ve been living Off Grid for 17 months), I received an answer as to why it doesn’t matter if we don’t know who our biological ancestors are, in order to honor them and ALL of our connections.
A couple months later, I created a course called, Communing with Trees to help explain various ways anyone could learn this kind of “information” (gathering wisdom direct from Nature).
Omniscience created ALL
How to stay Current (with energetic information)
To sum up what I got from our grandmother Live Oak:
Your intention is enough to get you started
You’re daily awareness helps (I believe because it proves your sincerity)
THEY (all our ancestors) are grateful when we acknowledge WE came from them! We indeed stand on great shoulders, in every way imaginable!
Peek inside a leaf with a microscope to understand.
I’m not saying that I get the same information from Trees that I get from following the teachings of Jesus, but I am saying there is a frequency and a currency that we can glean from both, that when we sit in that Energy, it is the same. As Omniscience created both.
Omniscience created ALL.
Each string on a guitar are different and produce different sounds, as we produce different gifts, but the strings play a harmonious melody on the guitar, when strummed with intent and practice. Perfection is not required, though can add to the elegance of the music.
Much love and many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀〰️🌳

This philosophy or mantra came to me after my dad’s passing in March of 2019. I can’t tell you exactly how to come around to this thought, especially during times of anger, upset, or grief. But, I can tell you that’s what I received in a KNOWING kind of way.
Everything Resolves to Gratitude
I’ve said these words to people many times. And I’ve written them. I even created a t-shirt with these words on it! I get sideways head glances when I wear it grocery shopping, especially during these COVID times, yet few smile. Perhaps it’s too big of a concept. 🤷🏼 But, I love teaching large and complex topics: like we’re part of God, like different leaves on a tree.
We are all part of the one living garment of God.
I’ve been shown that WE are all part of the one living garment of God. That is why there is no value in judging one another.
Years ago, I watched Russell Brand eloquently talk about how The Christ in confused people is calling out to be saved. He said he loved the elegant simplicity of the Dao (Lao Tzo), the charming voluptuousness of the Vedias, the passion of Catholisicm, and the potency of Islam. For me, The Chosen series about the life and times of Jesus the Christ, and his “‘chosen” disciples enhance the knowledge I have of Christianity and Mormonism.
Brand knows that, “We Are All One.” And Russell admonished us to not be confused by our own conflict or our own biological drives…to simply breathe… Take a moment to strengthen the awareness behind our fear, our desire. Being a recovering addict, he knows a thing or too about desires. He suggested that all of our lives change when we reach that Awareness and that this KNOWING transmits and connects… to each other and to something bigger than ourselves.
Indoctrination and Programming
We all tend to define the world according to the indoctrination and programming we’ve received from the PUBLIC EDUCATION system. And I, along with many others, are now questioning the ideologies behind this “education.” This is why I love continuing education.
I have taken so many courses from thought leaders, Energy Medicine doctors, ministers, life coaches, founders of the Reflexology school in St. Petersburg, FL, raw vegan chefs, Reiki masters, and nurses (like Healing Touch, taken years ago at the cancer hospital in Orlando, FL) and the list goes on and on (see the list on my homepage if you’re very curious). And I live with a genius husband.
Yet, nature and my own body continue to be my most thorough teachers.
You are a fractal of Omniscience
For years I have told you that you are a fractal of Omniscience. Now, I can tell you that your Ego, your individual personality, gifts, and skills is a temporary expression of a much larger YOU – comprised of Spirit, Soul, Mind (Infinite and Unified Field), and Body (that’s made up on 70-100 TRILLION cells, most of which, are not human–they are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and more!
If we had different eyes, ears, skin, indeed more complex senses, we would SEE the infinite vibrations (energies and frequencies) bleeding, leaking, blending, and glowing in a vast and ever-expanding, chaos of tangles in some constant, whir of interconnected fractals. And that what you currently have faith in, is just the structure you’ve been taught to follow. We may never have the knowledge of who and what created ALL (including us), but we don’t really need to if we ACT upon the guidance we’ve received and exercise our FAITH–yes, LIVING what we believe.
How you might “get there”
I deeply appreciate the many blessings in my life, especially:
exciting work that I am well paid for
beautiful granddaughters (and love of my whole family)
increased awareness of how We really Are All Connected everyday, all the time
that I Am really so fully saved – feeling the ever increasing awareness of what that actually means!
this tactic of writing an “A list idea – of 5 things I appreciate” list!
And another suggestion:
Om karuna swaha
This is a daily meditation / chant for the God of compassion.
Wayne Dyer said, this something (power or force) that grows our fingernails – we cannot stop. And that is true, even after the death of our body, our fingernails keep growing.
My thought: everything in the universe vibrates. I tweeted it. Is it documented in Physics? Yes! Read Niels Bohr.
Having trouble loving someone? Seeing them as God sees them? Remember what Jerry once told Esther, when Esther had gotten mad at him. Pretend she is their granddaughter. Because Esther could never not love their grandchild – no matter how much of a mess she made, etc. Her love is unconditional for her!
Keys
I am going through some Energy shift since facilitating a TWO hour call in my club: Integrated Spiral this past Saturday night. I spent all day yesterday watching videos of spiritual masters (that had been shared with me), and I boiled my philosophy down even further.
To be IN SPIRIT is to be OUT of one’s mind. All the intellect in the world is no good if we are not LIVING our beliefs. Compassion and Love are keys—for ourselves and others. Yes, ALL others without judgment. Breathe. 💨 Water. Even a splash will work.❤️💦 Earth. Hands to floor. Bare feet in sand. Garden.
3 keys: Breathe. Water. Earth.
And then, or all throughout those actions: Observe.
I was introduced to Japji (not one but many videos on YouTube), and I am swimming in the enormous Energy of this.
Would you attend a 15 minute room in Clubhouse called, Breathing in Spirit? It will be a “check-in” kind of experience. Consistent practice I find, and this was reiterated to me Saturday night, is key. Because when we are upset for any reason, our breath can balance us (our emotions and body chemistry).
Awareness hidden in your WORDS
OM is hidden in many everyday words like cOMe, hOMe, sOMe, wOMan, and tOMb. And bOMb would be using this power as an opposing force.Do you really want to go there?
Why don’t we choose the positive path?
Choose to feel aWEsOMe! OM is also found in OMniscient, OMnipresence, and Omnipotent. All the attributes of God.
Choose LOVE
Looking through the lens of Love can be easy or difficult, depending upon how you’ve been conditioned to this point in your life. Sometimes, simply being aware and asking yourSelf when issues arise, “Am I feeling restricted or open to this new information?” and sitting with the answer that comes to you. The answer can show you if you are looking at the issue, conversation, person, or such through the eyes of Love, or not.
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀🎼〰️🙏☯️🌅💦🌱🌳🌴🌲

These are the kind of things many of us experience. I just happen to keep a diary of notes.
In my pages regarding, TIME I found these:
Time, time, TIME
May 26th, 2015
I said goodbye to my granddaughter, Jennie.
It was in this moment that I uncovered one of my first limiting beliefs.
I’d said, “grandma has to work” as I kissed Jennie’s face, arm and leg and said I will see you in two months when mommy brings you to WV.
But Jennie looked me in the eyes with such intent and said, “Come with us grand-ma” (yes, grand ma in two words). And it broke my heart because I also wanted to go with them. And as I said “Grandma has to work” it resonated deep within my body. Ugh!I I don’t want to have to work AND I never again want to shut the car door for her and let her leave like that.
I told her, “Jennie, you have more places to go and other people to see on your adventure.” But, I wanted to really mean it, without feeling so much energetic pull to “not let her go”!
That was six years ago (as of this writing), and Jennie has called herself by her full first name, Jennifer, for several years. They grow up so fast!
I’ve only seen Jennifer a few times since then (annually on average, except 2020-2021 when we chose not to travel due to COVID and never knowing when interstate travel could be shutdown).
I also have twin granddaughters I’d love to hug and hold before they start preschool in a couple months. Not seeing them two years in a row makes me feel awful! I have missed sooo much!!
May 26th is also my son’s birthday, so I bet that had me feeling a bit more emotion (simply from the standpoint of always celebrating it with him).
I recognize my children and granddaughters have their own lives, and tell myself this often to tamp down my negative emotions and contain the sadness I feel (for not living near them or seeing them as often as I would love).
March 18th, 2016
“And birth is only the beginning. It is overwhelming sometimes to ponder how courageous and brave it is of each soul to agree to this carnal ride.
Oh, how bumpy and bizarre this ride! How curious this journey of becoming human. How mysterious and magical to be in a living, changing, growing, wonderful body!
As an adult, we think we’re big enough, strong, and tough enough to survive, but we know the body and mind are fragile too.
Imagine when we are in the womb, how fragile, delicate, and vulnerable we are. Oh, how indescribable it must be!
So, let us all pray and meditate daily about how grateful we are to have been born–to be here!
We are able to live, move, and have our being, while not every soul who desires and strives to be here, makes it.
And lets be kind to our bodies, our children, and each other. For we are all blessed to be here, and IN Joy relish the time we have on this magnificent planet.
Amen. Namaste. OM – Sheila Murrey
5 years later, on March 18th, 2021 I had an Aha moment about the preceding paragraph when I was going through about 500 writing “Notes” that I had on my iPhone (because yes, I write a LOT, I just don’t publish often due to my job and other commitments).
The Aha was realizing (seeing with REAL EYES), that I’d written that paragraph 3 years BEFORE my dad passed/crossed over, transitioned, or had his “Celebration Day” to the Grand Beyond, and on the DATE that he and I had planned to meet each other, which is another story in and of itself.
February 20th, 2017
Oh! One of the things I hate, is wasting TIME… and I feel like a lot of time has been wasted since Feb. 2020. But, here’s a list of things I was working on to find balance / forgiveness about in 2017:
Liars, manipulators, narcissists
DuPont, Monsanto/Bayer, Big Pharma
Big Oil, Fracking (use solar, wind, geothermal instead!! We do!)
Deforestation unless you are replanting trees — use bamboo instead!!
Rayon (grandmother poisoned by Viscose factory – they sold out to avoid lawsuits in the 60s/70s)
Polyester, Nylon, Patent leather.
Plastic (though some BPA free kinds are helpful when camping) (Stop using / stop buying new plastic. Clean up beaches. Watch the film Sonic Sea.)
I began to daily recognize that shit is a necessary fertilizer by which we grow, though it smells and I don’t always like it.
When any of these people, places, or circumstances come my way, I let it go as best I can to Limitless Omniscience God, and forgive them, as they know not what they do.
I hold compassion for my imperfect self, because my reactive mind, sometimes, feels PTSD type sensations.
So, I must feel and own my feelings. And respond somewhat harshly in the moment to be heard, based on the environment I’m in. I don’t always quickly access my intellect, and I understand why (amygdala response).
There are only 3 ways to resolve any problem:
Accept it, Change it, or Avoid it.
When we visit in person again
I’ll show my granddaughters Qigong forms.
I’ll kiss their Third Eye.
I’ll teach them EFT – Tapping. And some spiral energy medicine.
And I’ll teach them how to appreciate our time together vs. feeling sad or upset that our time together feels so short.
We’ll play in the clothes I took to them from my mom (that my mom had saved in my grandmother’s cedar closet), and explain how they can wear them when they are teenagers.
And we’ll go to the Chaos and Kindness store and to Art Escape.
We will paint together and make things.
We’ll bounce on their trampoline together too! And we’ll camp, snuggle, color, and make jewelry together. 😉
We will cherish each moment of Presence.
We will figure out a way to bottle the smell of their hair. Because that’s one of the things I miss the most about not being with them. ❤️🦋🌀〰️
Why are we living during this challenging time?
For anyone wondering why they are living during this time, “Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger?”
Know that you yourself are essential to this world. Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this world.
Did you think you were put here for something less?
In a Sacred Hoop of Life, there is no beginning and no ending.
Each of us is important and have a mission. Much love! ❤️
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

I have been speaking (and singing) in front of (and for) large groups ever since I can remember: in church settings, elementary school (putting on plays), college, social clubs, flea markets (selling products), networking events, yoga and music festivals (as emcee), and health fairs. I am no stranger to the stage. But, we can all refine and polish our public speaking and presentation skills, I am no exception.
I read an article today that prompted me to make a list of my tips, based on my experiences:
Before you speak
Know your subject well, yes do your research
Be able to defend or argue your story from multiple perspectives
Write down your speech and remove any filler words or phrases
Practice your speech in front of a mirror
When tempted to use, “you know,” “uhm,” or such just BREATHE (this space is necessary to slow your speaking rate down, as well as give the audience time to rest, make notes, and such)
Practice your speech in front of one or two people and ask for their feedback on how to improve it
Grand tips for speakers and presenters
Day of your speech
Meditate and expand your Energy out to ALL
Greet attendees or meet as many people at the event as possible, shake hands, fist bump, kiss babies, etc. (okay, maybe not kiss babies post-COVID times, but you get the idea)
Ease any jitters or “butterflies” using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ), or such (even humming to yourself works)
Once on stage, tune into your heart center and share your story from “that place”—from your soul
Look at some audience members from different sections of the room
Make eye contact with friendly “light” faces
Provide VALUE— never tell a story that doesn’t make a point (Thank you, Les Brown)
Involve your audience, ask “Have you ever…” or “Has this ever happened to you?”
Smile and laugh genuinely, when it fits
If you ever feel nervous, off track, forget what’s next, or self conscious, be quiet for a moment and breathe, focus and speak from your soul, not your ego
Add color and depth to your personal stories, but don’t drone on, complain, or get caught up in negativity
People want to hear what you learned and how you grew from overcoming adversity
Don’t assume you know your audience—now, on Clubhouse, you probably won’t know them at all, and people are quite multifaceted these days
At the end of your lecture, bow and authentically with humility thank your audience for hearing you—they gave YOU moments of their lives
