Spirit may reside in or out of the body entity or avatar. Science has yet to prove where consciousness resides, much less Spirit. Spirit is one’s eternal essence. It is also believed that Omniscience God is a Spirit expressing Omnipresence, and Omnipotence as a LIMITLESS, Ever-Living, Filling-ALL-Space Creator God. Source Energy. Love. The energetic scaffolding that holds everything in place.
Contemplating the many different concepts of God I’ve held…
I doubt I am the only person to change their mind (at least once), of who and what God is.
Thus, I pose this question to you?
Who or what is God?
If you have read any of my previous posts about God, Omniscience, Jesus, and such, you know the name I use most for God (other than God), is Omniscience. That is because of the glimpses I have seen and lessons I’ve learned from my loved ones who live on the Other Side (of The Veil), or Grand Beyond.
How many times has your concept of God changed?
As I work to complete my 4th book, I get into these kinds of moods, or deep contemplations. And this time, I wanted to ask your thoughts, insomuch as you may be willing to share.
Interconnectedness
We have been so caught up in being independent individuals that we have forgotten the vital importance of being interdependent cosmic beings co-creating an interconnected cosmos.
Whenever you feel the need to be right, that’s your personal Ego—Edging God Out.
Yet, there’s multitudinous perspectives!
God is LIMITLESS unconditional LOVE!
Feel that. Breathe and really FEEL that.
❤️🦋🌀〰️
I don’t have to be right.
But, I can always (ALL ways) feel good.
I am an extractor of knowledge, juicing and synthesizing the best information from all religions, philosophies, and practices the world over to help you live the best life ever!
God is Everywhere
God is Everywhere… Creation changes every day. We change, growing or decaying every day. Flowers grow, bloom, wilt, fall, and decay. We get the circle of life, don’t we?
Everything changes.
Everyone is supported and no one is alone, but we can choose to cut ourselves off from God (just as Adam and Eve tried to hide from God in the Garden of Eden–but it was impossible to do so).
God is Everywhere and is expressing gifts through you (whether you know it or not)!
God is being it, pulsing it, Energy. And most of us are consciously closed off to God. But sometimes we open and allow God’s Energy to express a small, tiny amount through, like a pin prick to an enormous sheet or covering. When we do that, ALL of Heaven rejoices!
Consider expanding your view of God today. It actually does seem like something Jesus would do.
Many blessings to you in ALL ways. OM

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!

Why do we argue whether Jesus was the only begotten son of God or simply an enlightened teacher?
Why do we argue when what matters is that we simply BE Jesus.
First, each of us can show compassion. We have the capacity and capability to do so.
BE Jesus
Then, he or she who is without sin, cast the first stone.
It is not my business to judge.
It is my business to manage my Energy and mind my Energy. To discern whom I will or will not exchange my time and Energy with.
Everything is Energy.
Time is what is precious.
Life goes on including all of its challenges, but we can choose to sing through it!
If we are in the Upside Down, remember… there’s some powerful work to do there too!🔥❤️🦄🌀🔥

Two years ago, after the death of my dad, I wrote this as I was pondering how we love others, or say we do, but our actions may not reflect love:
I love you, but
I love you, but I have to do XYZ to fulfill some need. I love you, but you’ll never know everything about me. I love you, but I don’t have the wherewithall to be considerate of what you may have to deal with when I’m gone. I love you, but I’m busy. I love you, but I don’t know what I can do to help you. I love you, but I have my own life. I love you, but I am still learning. I love you, but I haven’t polished my crystal ball to know what you need. I love you, but though I talk to everyone in the world and should know how to ease the process you will go through after I die, I don’t think I will die, so there’s no need to set everything up, pre-need funeral/cremation/burial, right of survivorship, etc. it can be done another day. I love you, but I don’t live for you. I love you, but as mad as you may get at me, you’ll learn your own lessons from this. I love you, but this experience will cause you to consider your loved ones more. Hugs and kisses!
In reflection
I shared this piece with friends on Facebook at the time, to meager response. And it wasn’t important to me how many saw it, liked, or loved it. My best friend from 4th grade (who always “gets me” responded and this is what I replied to her:
Thank you for “seeing” me. For “seeing” my process and intent through this post. I am happy to report that I was only angry for a very short while. The anger that is a part of grief. Mom and dad did the best they could with the information they understood at the time.
So, yes, I was making notes of the thoughts that came as I proceeded to find the lesson for me in all of this. I can’t change what was done/not done, but I can sure set things up now for my kids, so they don’t have to pay out of pocket and go through probate, etc. when I leave this earth.
FYI: If you don’t have a will, add a beneficiary on your bank accounts! If my dad had simply added me to his checking account, I wouldn’t have had to pay a lawyer $2k to go through probate, )which was 10% of what he had). Ugh.
Healing
It has been healing for me to separate my emotions from the actions that occurred by journaling the various things I learned through this so-called “death” process.
You know, mostly there is only an earthly death. At least I believe it’s only the physical stuff that dies. Our love, soul, and spirit lives on. And that gives me hope and a way to see beyond all the mundane.
I want to add that I hope this helps someone because we don’t know what we don’t know.
Funeral home arrangements, and why pre-need is important
Now, that was two years ago and it is time for me to follow through and setup my own pre-need natural burial arrangements.
I never knew that funeral homes could charge you money to see your loved one after they take the body.
Yes, there are questions one should ask before allowing a funeral home to take a body.
In our case, my adult son found my dad, (he had passed away in his sleep), and while we were driving the 2.5 hours to get to where they lived, the sheriff deputies had already done their job and a funeral home had picked up my dad’s body. By the time we arrived at the funeral home, they said I would have to pay them $200 if I wanted to see my dad! That’s something people never tell you.
Also, it was the funeral home, not the sheriff’s office, who kept everything in a locker that they had taken out of my dad’s pockets (as apparently he had slept in his clothes and had loose cash in different pockets, not only in his wallet). And the funeral home didn’t offer to give me my dad’s personal possessions, nor was I of a mind to ask, when they were asking me for $200!
Had I known, I would have given them the $200 dad had on his person (which I had to go back and ask for two weeks later after someone suggested I ask). It’s just something that nags at me, like an open loop. I know I may not have wanted to see my dad’s body, my son told me that I wouldn’t, but I can’t help but feel if I had known what was in dad’s pockets, I would have paid the funeral home their “fee.”
Speaking of funeral homes, be prepared to pay something out of your own pocket for your family member, otherwise they will not even pick up the body. And most don’t offer ANY arrangements, not even cremation, (and not including any viewing or service), for less than $2,000 (in the USA). Some relatives paid $17,000 to bury a loved one! Ridiculous!!
Let me know in the comments if you want to know more like this and I’ll write another article. I don’t want to be morbid.

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. ❤️🦋🌀🎼〰️🙏☯️🌅💦🌱🌳🌴🌲

This is a question I am currently pondering: What would a day in Jesus’ life look like if He walked the earth NOW?
Would His disciples be glued to their smartphones, while sitting in Jesus’ presence?
Would He or His disciples watch TV, listen to the radio, talk on the phone, play video games, or get caught up in any “distractions”?
Would He still wear sandals, shoes, or walk barefoot?
Would Jesus own property? Maybe somewhere Off Grid, where He could commune with nature?
Would Jesus eat processed food, or grow His own food?
Would Jesus preach and teach from different churches or homes? Tent revivals? Sacred ancient sites? Beaches? Street corners? Speak on social media?
Would Jesus drive, or walk? Ride a bicycle, or have his disciples drive him around? Perhaps use public transportation?
How many hours a day would Jesus pray? Would He meditate?
Would Jesus watch or play sports of any kind?
How would Jesus CONNECT people?
Did Jesus want people to WORSHIP Him?
Fast and pray, meditating on ALL. We are thankful. Unnecessary things and habits can fall away. We can see with REAL EYES. ❤️🦋🌀🙏☯️

You’ve heard, “Just Do It” as the marketing slogan. And you say you’re a Christian. But you don’t live like Jesus lived. You say it’s because He was God, or God in human form. You say He was perfect and that you cannot be perfect, because you are not God or not The Son of God.
But Jesus said WE are all sons and daughters of God. And that we could do even greater things than He did when He walked the earth.
Faith is trusting and knowing without any doubt.
BE Jesus.
Egoless
Jesus didn’t come to collect followers or win friends. He came to show us what IS possible. That it IS our birthright to live as He did. Study the scriptures with an eye to understand HOW He lived.
Living like Jesus has nothing to do with Ego.
Surrender your Ego.
This whole “need to be perfect,” and “need to be protected” stuff is all driven by Ego. That’s the only “work” you have to do—to let go of that.
BE Jesus.
Ego is manmade, and typically found when we get caught up in comparing ourselves (or our accomplishments) to others.
We are each unique, so all comparisons fall flat. No comparisons are needed. Comparisons are a waste of time. Waste of Energy.
Perfection
Ah, why do we limit our potential, limit our power by thinking we are not perfect? Jesus came to clean us and offer His “perfect protection.” So, why do we doubt ourselves? Do we doubt Him?
I don’t need to be perfect, or protected because I know that I’m enveloped by Omniscience. And I don’t say that with ANY sense of Ego.
I have spoken with some about this and they don’t understand.
It seems to me that being enveloped by Omniscience is when one is resonating IN a high level of faith, trust, knowing. IN that state of blissful resonance, one rests and surrenders to “Everything Resolves to Gratitude.”
One understands the meaning of that phrase.
Personal relationship with Jesus the Christ via the Holy Spirit is wonderful… but I have never felt it necessary to “convert” others or that Jesus is the ONLY way to God. Holy dialogue is inclusive. Jesus (in His earthly lifetime) was the way to get around having to go to a priest to commune with God. Holy Spirit (Spirituality) is available to ALL.
It will ALL work out in the end. Breathe. Be still and know.
Be Whole.
BE Jesus.

Right from the start, let me tell you that I’ve been gently releasing the excess weight I’d gained during the COVID lockdown, by eating all different kinds of foods and challenging my former thoughts about what foods I should eat. It has really surprised me! And those “surprises” challenged me to analyze what was going on and how I could sustain ongoing weight loss (as I’d been overweight, technically obese), BEFORE the lockdowns.
Food History
I’d lost 20 pounds during 2019 with the help of a modified Keto diet as suggested by my chiropractor, restricting certain foods, and dining out less, (and scrutinizing food ingredients when we did go out). Mostly, I went out to socialize with my husband and not even eat a meal. I had taken a lot of supplements too, to help balance my hormones. But during the summer of 2020, I regained those 20 pounds (mostly due to COVID lockdown depression).
When I say I am not unfamiliar with diets, it’s true. I’ve done so many different diets over the course of twenty years, it’s not funny. It’s actually kinda sad. I didn’t even learn (throughout all of the time I spent on various diets), how to tell when I was hungry—until I was ravenous (belly gurgling with hunger pangs)! I learned the particular diet, but I didn’t align my MIND-BODY, and integrate these aspects and LISTEN to my body and analyze what changes I needed to make in order to experience RESULTS. (I am in alignment, Now.)
So, what I’m about to share may shock you. It has, and continues to shock me!
Food List
Here’s a list of some of the foods I’ve eaten and seen the number on the scale DROP the next morning, foods I wouldn’t have eaten a year ago:
Steak
Barbecue sauce (I found one brand that works for me. Yes, ONE.)
Cheese (I found a couple types that work for me.)
Half and half
Canned soup (I drink an extra cup of water after to help flush out excess salt.)
Rice (rinsed very well before cooking)
Soy sauce (always thought it was a no-no)
Pasta (egg or veggie noodles)
Potatoes (even tater tots, and potato chips! Gasp! Small portion, but yes. Shocking!)
Dark Chocolate (small portion, on a fancy plate)
Margaritas (homemade, no sugary mixer)
Red wine (limited to 8 ounces a night, though depending on my meal, I’ve had more)
Universal Yums (a monthly subscription of snacks from around the world-tiny servings—added this because we’re foodies and love trying new foods from other countries! Since we can’t travel currently, this monthly fun box supports our mental health and Connects us ALL.)
What started it all? I credit a pillar of my weight loss success to the Omada program (that was offered to me by my health insurance program: Florida Blue), because they sent me a free scale that communicates back to their app and diet coach, via blue tooth technology (so, I am held accountable). Accountability is KEY!
I weigh in every morning, nude, and before drinking any water and after going to the restroom. I’ve also integrated this into my morning meditation ritual which includes a brief gratitude ritual (along with some Yoga postures and Energy building Qigong activity) to release any gas in my body, strengthen my immune system, and release stress. And this was the impetus for developing Integrated Spiral!
Tying these activities together has been a huge advance in my ability to stick with the weigh ins and track my journey. In the first three months, I released 15 pounds, but UPDATE: By March 24, 2021 I lost a total of 32 pounds (which included another 17 pounds lost during my time of participating in a 7 week Herbal Detox with KP Khalsa and The Sacred Science)!
I’ve communicated with my coach on the days I gained a pound or so, and worked through the mental hoops and associated feelings. I’ve also incorporated small celebratory actions that do not involve food, as a new way to thank my body for following through on my desire to lose weight.
The Omada program also came with an app, which has helped me focus on the size and health of my meals, rather than the calories of the food (as I’d tracked before in the LoseIt! app). Now, I watch for the trends of how many veggies I’m eating in a week, and what I’ve eaten the day before I see the number go up or down on the scale. It’s a pretty cool bio feedback loop and is definitely working for me.
NOTE: If you’re not in the Omada program, you can still do the weight loss portion of my Integrated Spiral program, because I have found even better blue tooth scales that measure 17 health markers! I’m gonna get one if and when my Omada scale fails. 😉
Supplements
Aside from the liquid supplement that both my husband and I consume daily, when we moved off grid, I pretty much quit taking any other supplements, except Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Magnesium. But when I first stepped on the Omada scale and saw how much I had gained from February to September, I started looking into anything and everything I could take to support my weight loss journey. For the first time in a long time, I felt desperate.
I tried a few supplements and I could tell what didn’t work by how I felt and that I’d gain ounces the day or so after taking them. I think my body is so sensitive, that I gain a bit of weight anytime I introduce something new to it. That’s a theory I am tracking via my food and weight log (which, circles back to why tracking is sooo important)!
There are few supplements (weight loss aids) that have helped me, and I’ll be writing reviews on those products on Being Wholly Vibrant.
I’m not including any supplements in my Integration Diet per se, because I don’t want you to feel that you have to take certain supplements in order to participate in this program. Take It Upon Yourself, as I always say, to do what works best for you. Plus, I’m attempting to keep all product reviews on my other blog. 🧐
Portions and measuring
I’ve found that my 1/2 C measuring cup has become my best friend in the kitchen. I scoop out chili and soup with it, and measure rice and pasta with it too. If I am in doubt, I measure. And I don’t just “trust” my eyes and brain with that “eyeball” method of measuring food, because that has been known to fail me.
The limit I set for myself on these kinds of foods is 1 C at a time. If for some reason I absolutely find that I need or want more, I go back for 1/2 C more. But, in three months, that’s only happened twice.
You gotta serve somebody. Just include yourSelf!
Timing
One trend I’ve noticed is that when I stop eating anything by 6pm, the number on the scale goes down the next morning.
I’m a big fan of intermittent fasting, but for it to work for me, I’ve observed that I need to go to bed on an empty stomach. I’ve tried all the other ways to do intermittent fasting, and no other combination works for me except going to be feeling hunger pangs. (This became less and less the longer I stayed committed to this program.) For me to practice intermittent fasting long term, well, it takes a real commitment and mindset. I’ve haven’t always been successful, but somehow, I feel this time, I will reach my ultimate goal weight.
Another trend I’ve noticed is that if I abstain from night time snacking, I can eat the same snack midday the next day (after lunch), and it doesn’t make the numbers on the scale go up, like it would have done, had I consumed it at 9pm. Weird, but that’s what I’ve observed as true for my body.
Creating the habit
All of this has been about helping me establish good habits that I can maintain for life. I know walking daily, or not, is a choice.
And honestly, the number on the scale has gone down on the morning after I didn’t walk and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I need to rest and allow my body time to repair and reduce the inflammation that came from my walking the day before. I don’t know. I’m continuing to monitor that.
So far, I’ve had the best outcome from tying two or more tasks or practices together. This is why I formed my Integrated Spiral transformational, small group, self-coaching program.
I know in order for me to make the commitment to a healthy, whole, and vibrant body means I must be held accountable. By serving others, I will serve myself. And in Bob Dylan’s famous words, “You gotta serve somebody.”
I know spiritual types that aren’t in touch with their bodies. And I know body conscious types who want to learn more about Spirituality. I think (and feel), I can serve both.

I am sooo glad I attended this aWEsOMe class four years ago:
Chakra Balancing: Yoga to Balance the Mind, Body, & Spirit offered by Dr. Ronald Porter in St. Petersburg, Florida
In the yogic tradition, the chakras are known as wheels of spinning energy found throughout the body.
Usually, energy has the ability to flow though us with ease. However, the situations we encounter in life can often leave our energy blocked and unable to flow freely.
Gentle way to bring healing to your body. It’s as close to you as your breath.
Working with the chakras through yoga is a means of restoring a healthy flow of energy throughout the subtle energetic body, therefore bringing balance to the physical body.
Dr. Ronald K. Porter proved to me (during the workshop) that through movement and breath, I could partner with the Energies in my body to heal it!
In the class, we explored both the meaning of the chakras and subtle energetic body, and engaged in a yoga practice specifically focused on balancing the chakras.
Practicing yoga in this way, and incorporating it into my soul helped me realize I was also doing some very deep soul work too. Thus, why I added Soul to the title of this post. ❤️🦋🌀☯️
I found relief in my body, as I did the breathwork to move Energy into spaces and places I had not focused on in years, if ever.
Specifically guiding my breath, brought immediate healing to one of my knees, and kept the energy medicine working on it for several days later! I knew I had found a healing method I was going to continue to use for the rest of my life.
I now incorporate basic elements of this in my transformational self-coaching program, Integrated Spiral. Won’t you join me?

Think about the following list, in comparison to what we think of when we hear the word, “shaman,” perhaps Jesus was a Shaman.
Story of blind man – Jesus instructed the man to put mud on his eyes
Tempted? Jesus purportedly said it would be better to pluck out your eye (if you couldn’t control your own lust) than lose your soul
Faith – touching hem of his garment (energy flowing through him encompassing his clothing – aura)
Fasting much
Prayer – all the time and in every thought
Solitude – Spent 40 nights in the wilderness
Preaching outside – walked and taught to people where they were, typically to people who did not attend church
Overthrow money changers in the temple – honor God – disruptive – he condemned the corrupt and greedy religious hypocrites
Jesus proclaimed things that were counter to what the priests in the synagogue were preaching, and spoke with authority
Essential oils – used natural elements
Alchemy – changed water into wine
Walked on water and calmed seas – controlled and “partnered with” nature
Jesus ate with publicans and so-called sinners, to the point that some labeled him “evil.”
Jesus was disruptive. ❤️🦋🌀
Perhaps, we can each be our own shaman.
Perhaps, digging in the dirt when I plant seeds in the dark, moist soil, doesn’t make me a shaman, but when I repot a root bound plant, I consider how I am disrupting it for a moment, so it can have more room to grow. And somehow, that makes me feel like a shaman—at least a little bit.
And we can each, grow through the dirt. ❤️🦋🌀☀️🌚💦🌱
Thoughts?
Do you think it’s time to disrupt religions?
God Omniscience IN us, not us IN church. You know, like when Jesus threw those moneychangers OUT of the temple. 🧐❤️🦋🌀🎼☯️🙏☮️
