Introducing a DE-Program course I developed in 2020 and am offering again now, Integrating the Spirals™. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.
Gather your materials
Before we begin the DE-Program Integrating the Spirals we want to gather our materials together. Find a tote, bin, box, or table where you can put all of the previous self-help things you’ve bought in the past. Put them in this place. And on your computer, create a new folder for these things, or multiple folders within one larger folder. For a list, refer to the previous post about Prerequisites.
Join me next Sunday 6/11/2023: Integrating the Spirals session
Our first Integrating the Spirals Zoom call will be next Sunday from 1pm to 3pm Eastern time zone (New York USA time). If you want to join, let me know. I am offering these calls for free and if anyone wants to tip that will graciously be accepted via: PayPal.Me/SheilaMurrey but no more than is comfortable for you, recognizing we are all in a different place financially. I’ll send you the Zoom call info when you register by sending your email to me at: sheila(dot)murrey(at)gmail(dot)com – I think you know how to replace the (dot) with a period and (at) with the @ sign to make that work, right? I don’t want spammers sending me email.
Our focus for the first session
Begin moving out of fear and struggle
Easing out of need to Control the actions of others
Honoring our selves (what we really want) and looking at what we bought gives us clues into this
Honoring our ancestors (lineage, homeland)
Listen to ourselves (to find understanding, self compassion, and healing)
Connecting
Working the Integrating the Spirals™ DE-Program Session 1 will be all about how to get started integrating what you’ve already bought, and connecting with our ancestors (and what do if you don’t know who your ancestors are).
Integrating the Spirals: Fibonacci sequence of a shell
It’s a big topic, and why we need two hours. But don’t worry, We’ll do three 40-minute calls to keep Zoom happy and to have nature/restroom breaks. Depending upon how many want to join, I may buy Zoom again (I used to have it but class sizes dwindled), thus they hold me to 40 minutes. Usually people start to get tired after 40-minutes anyway. Again, we’ll see how this goes.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.
Make a list of anything you want to work on: incorporating more movement into each day, following through on your To Do lists, getting out of overwhelm, stop procrastinating, break habits, set goals, write a book, organize your closet, move, downsize, live off-grid, rid yourself of anxious thoughts, sleep better, feel less lonely, and so on.
Pull all of your previously purchased books, programs, current recurring subscriptions, and favorite authors (list them), favorite speakers (spiritual/motivational/philosophical)
Make a commitment to this process and set everything else aside (put current courses on hold if at all possible). We will be working on prioritizing our projects and commitments in this DE-Program so a clean slate is advised (at least for the first two weeks)
Our goals
Move out of fear and struggle
Ease angst and the need to Control the actions of others
Honoring our selves (what we really want)
Honoring our ancestors (lineage, homeland)
Listen to ourselves (to find understanding, self compassion, and healing)
Listen to others intently with presence to learn how you can serve them
Drop self criticism and blame (and offer that gift to others as they are open to receive)
Organize our own thoughts and priorities to sleep better at night and accomplish more each day
Release overwhelm and unworthiness
Bloom where we are planted or move to where we are celebrated (Be the Change)
Nurture yourself and Nature (Plant a tree or something, walk barefoot)
Ease apathy
Live in Gratitude
About the Integrating the Spirals meetings
Let’s do these Integrating the Spirals Zoom calls on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm Eastern time zone (New York USA time) and see how it goes. If you want to join, let me know. I am offering these calls for free and if anyone wants to tip that will graciously be accepted via: PayPal.Me/SheilaMurrey but no more than is comfortable for you, recognizing we are all in a different place financially.
Connecting
Working the Integrating the Spiral DE-Program, lifts us out of negative self-talk, breaks us of some of the triggers that get us riled up, brings in more calm and ease, and connects us with others of like-mind.
Connecting with our ancestors, will improve the relationships that we have because we’re gonna get a lot more peace and understanding and gratitude in us for our ancestors. We wouldn’t be here without them. This will also help you feel totally supported. You’re never alone because your ancestors are always there always in your blood. So in a sense, they’re always around you even if you don’t or can’t or won’t see them spiritually yet.
The universe always has your back because you live in it. You’re part of it. You’re a layer of the onion within the onion.
Omniscience God, God Omniscience
You’re a fractal of Omniscience because you’re always a part of something bigger. You are not separate from it. Your Connectedness to yourself and All-There-Is Omniscience is Holism. We use the directions. We use the elements. We will use what we have and learn how to integrate it INTO our daily lives.
This isn’t a course it’s going to try to sell you other stuff.
You’re going to walk away with epiphanies each time. One recent attendee said, “this course opened something inside of me.”
This DE-Program course is a combination of counseling, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), body movement, breathwork, meditation, and process management. One could say it’s a holistic, 360 degree full circle time management course. Or a holistic organizational behavior course. One could call it different things because it is more about opening you to YOU than other programs that, well, PROGRAM you!
Integrating the Spirals: Integrating Nature
Imagine this:
You are a seed planted in the dark earth. Little by little things around you begin to inform you. Everything you hear, smell, taste, touch, and see. Yes, as a seed you have physical senses!
You grow and expand day by day until you eventually burst up and out through the dirt into the light!
Every time you got fertilized (shit on), it served you. Every one of these things stimulated your becoming, your growth. These triggers could have pissed you off or make you mad. And without understanding the cause of those events, you grew up but without a clue as to how or why. You only knew you did. And that you exist.
You knew up was warm and bright. You knew down was dark and cold. You knew nothing else. But still you grew.
You are still growing as you read this, and here’s the key. We all are still growing. And everyone grows at differing rates of speed.
Did you appreciate the dirt? In the winter the seed experiences the opposite. Up is cold and bright. Down is dark and warm!
Can you take a 360 degree view of your life NOW from that perspective and allow your observations to expand your consciousness a bit?
That’s what this course does. It opens you for expansion. Are you ready?
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency level—I am culpable. Each of us are a layer within the onion, not the whole onion. We are a fractal of Omniscience–and Omniscience knows ALL.

Integrating the Spirals to release anxious thoughts and angst
My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is helpful now more than ever because I think we could all use more peace and calm in our daily lives.
I’m not a salesperson nor do I believe in stuffing things down anyone’s throat. YOU can let me know if you’re interested in the Integrating the Spirals course. It’s ALL YOUR choice. Wink! HUGS!
As an empath I strive to ease suffering and raise hope. I want to uplift others by practicing what I have learned, till the inner soil with breath—many times, every day—to instill peace and calm. Ahhh…
Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.
Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

Introducing a DE-Program course I developed in 2020 and am offering again now, Integrating the Spirals™. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.
Video introductions
I wanted to include in this post a video that I just shared on Tik Tok. I created this DE-Program and its accompanying introductory video in 2020. It was the pandemic time; It was COVID lock-down time. We were living off-grid in the RV that we owned at the time. We’ve since sold. I was out walking barefoot in the sand. I’ve also posted that video. I guess I can include that as well on this. Just to show you what I was doing. And I was doing this almost every day. Barring the rain, or when the idiot (who you will hear in this video) decides to roar his engine and big truck tires down our dirt road. Imagine hearing that noise on a dirt road, I mean–craziness! But whatever, right? Live and let live. And yeah so when he wasn’t interrupting or when he wasn’t out… he almost hit me one day (that’s really why I’m triggered by him probably more than the noise) and just thinking that he’s the only one in the world. Nobody else’s lives in the neighborhood, or matters. There he goes in his big old pumped up (jacked up) 4×4 pickup truck and goes roaring down the street. Sometimes several times a day, sometimes only a couple times a week.
So anyway, I would just rest on my Faith, right? Not be in fear that I would get out there and walk barefoot in the sand and this is one of the results from those walks. I call it Integrating the Spirals now it was integrated spiral when it first dropped into my mind but the talk goes something like this I’ve shortened it to a bit too–since the 45-minute video that went on Facebook in 2020, almost nobody responded to. So the talk goes like this: (Sorry, WordPress wouldn’t allow me to embed a .MOV file, so I had to embed it from TikTok and hope you can watch it whether you have a TikTok account or not).
Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt held back from sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings on social media. And raise your hand if you’re open to learning simple ways to naturally attract your ideal clients and fans. Sharing your truths is key here and Justin Spencer of chaos and kindness is a prime example for this (the band name is Recycled Percussion if you’re familiar with any of those names). Justin is a prime example. In the area of WoW, motivation entrepreneurship working his ass off since he was 14 or 15 something like, or maybe even younger. And mental health he’s a huge advocate for helping people with their mental health. But like me, he’s not a doctor or a practicing medical professional. So we can only do what we can do right if you need to hear your stuff from a 10-year. schooled Pharma indoctrinated person professional, have at it. But they’ve only caused me issues in my life. I’ll just put it that way. It’s the nicest way that I can possibly say it.
Moving out of fear and struggle
I’m here to share with you how to move out of fear and struggle. I’ve been married three times I’ve raised two children. They’re adults now both in their 40s believe that or not? Yes, I started young. But mostly as a single mom. I got them grown up–whatever you want to call it. I was always working. I was always going to school. I held a mindset, though of struggle. And I was challenged by my second ex-husband who had so many issues he was he’d been fired a gun in my direction one day. And yeah, he was an addict. But through all that, I got to go to a lot of self-help recovery-type programs, group therapies, and such. So you know, always a silver lining.
Dark night of the soul
At one point I nearly committed suicide because I kept making poor choices, and I could hardly make my way out of that spiritually dark place. Even after that, years later, I was faced with a job loss and health crisis previously mentioned about how I lost my faith in the medical profession. The traditional one. That was back in 2004 and 2005. It challenged everything I knew about medical doctors working for corporations and even the law-our justice system is so screwed (thinking back to my cousin’s murder last year).
Honor your innermost being
The teaching point here is to honor your innermost being your inner think inner versus the outer world. Listen, listen to yourself, listen to your body. Meditate. Focus on that breath in. Bring it into as many places and spaces in your body as you can muster. Hold it when you’ve taken in every last little eek bit of air. Just hold it for a few seconds count if you like and then exhale, but exhale for longer than you breathe in. So you would take your breath, let’s say to a count of four, five, or six, whatever you like. Hold it for three, maybe then exhale for 7, 8, 9, 10 and the experts, whether we call them Yogi’s gurus or whatnot, they say if you can make your exhale as silent as possible, you’ve mastered it. You want to make your breath as silent as possible.
Integrating the Spirals
Speak to yourself
So, speak, talk to yourself, record yourself. If you don’t have a partner to talk with. So why might you want to take integrate the spirals? Why might you want to take this course Why do you want to work with me? You don’t know me, right? Even if you know me, do you trust me? Well, for more than 30 years, I’ve been a business analyst means that my brain is always working. I’m always analyzing stuff. It means simply though, I listen. And I ask questions and then I document what I hear back and I run that back by the folks that I just interviewed. And then make sure I captured things correctly, make changes as needed, et cetera. It’s a process. I’m really good at processes. I elicit responses. I’ve been asked in interviews. Well, how do you do that? Well, a lot of it is asking pertinent questions, and staying in the flow of the conversation so that you’re not asking some silly stupid question that doesn’t make a hill of beans worth of sense. To somebody who’s just poured out their heart to you, you know, you want to stay on point on the topic. Be with them and be present. That’s really the key to that.
Listen to yourself and others intently
Be so good at listening, that you can pick up the repetitive words people use. That’s so key. Listen for the repetitive words. I know those words tell so much of what that person is thinking. I know we can ascertain different outcomes by changing these words because we SAY what we THINK. It’s in us. There’s that inner world stuff again. Right? We’ve been saying these words to ourselves, for the first four years. You know, who is that observer in you? Who’s that person that’s in that voice in your head that that’s in there talking all the time, right? That person that’s saying, I don’t know if I want to do that. I don’t know if I want to go there. You know those words. That person (talking in your head) is the judging person. It’s your inner critic. People have said it’s the dark angel on your shoulder, versus the light one. The Light Angel is suggesting good things, positive stuff, uplifting stuff for you to do today. Well, that Dark Angel, that’s the one that’s saying he or she or you, is an idiot. Don’t call yourself that. You’re just unlearned at that moment. Even when I call the loud driver, the guy in the truck an idiot. That’s because I’m triggered that’s coming from a lower point in my vibration. So he’s really not an idiot person. Let’s hope not anyway because he got a license somehow. We assume so. And he’s driving. So he has hands and feet that work right–even though he tried to run me down.
Criticizing and judging never works
Anyway, all that criticizing and judgment stuff. That will never work. It’s just not helpful. That I can’t when I make poor choices, dammit. To Die For. How many times you hear people say, “This is so good; This food is so delicious it’s to die for”? Don’t say that. Just don’t do that. Stop that. And when you hear people say this phrase what? When they say, “Who do they think they are?” We’re your inner critic saying that to you? Who do you think you are? Right? You’re, you know, a pretty smart person. And you have options and you have choices and the world is your oyster kind of thing. Right? So all those words that are stuck inside of you, it becomes overwhelming. Who do we think we are? Well, I’ll tell you who I am. I’m spirit wrapped in an earthly plant. Based body.
What are we made of?
I am really plant nature-based (in this body) whatever you want to call it. I’m an animal, I guess I’m part animal, part plant, but I’m definitely part of the plant world. I’m part of the natural world. I wasn’t machined in a factory. So I’m natural. This body that I inhabit is natural. I am a spirit. I’m from somewhere else. The great Yeshua or Jesus the Christ or the person that you know of whom I’m speaking the man from Nazareth in Galilee, who walked and talked and taught people 2000 years ago. He said that to be in the world, not of the world. And that used to be as a child one of my favorite scriptures to meditate on at night after the nighttime prayer. I would just lay there thinking what does that mean that only differences a couple of very short words and in you know, be in it, but not have it like you’re not of this world? You didn’t know, it’s a very deep vast chasm. When you fall into that thinking and meditate on that. What does that really mean?
When stuck in overwhelm or unworthiness
So, if you’re stuck in overwhelm if you’re stuck in unworthiness, that’s a big one, everybody at those AA meetings and recovery-type meetings is always unworthy, always feeling unworthy. unworthiness is always at the bottom of everything, every place where they get to eventually, there’s always guilt or shame, one or the other, both. But all the shit they did that they felt bad about. Probably shouldn’t have done it, but they get stuck in victimhood, too. That’s a big one, right? Victimhood, blaming stuff on everybody else because why? You don’t want to change. You don’t want to do anything about it. You want to remain just as you are and make the whole world around you change. Yeah, that’s what all the wars are fought about. Or imposter syndrome. Impostor Syndrome. That’s, that’s good too because that’d be like me writing a holistic health book. Right when I’m not a doctor. Am I an imposter? Apathy, apathy is huge. Goes back to that. I don’t give a shit attitude and I don’t want to change but I want the whole world to change to suit me. Never going to happen, folks. Wake up. Big lightbulb moment for you there if you thought you were gonna try to control anything around you.
Apathy
How about the “F-U-C-K that,” right? How about that? That’s right, walking hand in hand with apathy. They’re right. Just not giving a shit; not giving a crap; not given a care, right? And I’m not saying hey, there’s right and wrong to these things. Sometimes it’s good to sit with some of these things. It’s healing you know, you’re letting your feelings rise, cry, let it out. Heal. So all we’re doing we’re all we’re doing is excavating here running a big bulldozer or ditch witch or whatever kind of machinery you’re familiar with a shovel is over you and your mind and your mindset so that you can shake things up and get rid of some you know, just shake the dust off the dirt out, unclutter your mind and help you gain more sense of purpose and balance. help your body heal when you can really some of these negative critical thinking thoughts critical as in you being critical of yourself.
Bless it!
So what might change for us in our lives in our businesses, if we said God bless it instead of Damn it, you know, or I love it instead of effort. Right? Just bless it as God bless it that guy and big loud truck this will all makes sense when you watch the video on town. Yeah, I didn’t have it. planned. I didn’t pay the guy. He was right on cue. It was the synchronicity I mean, it was just so undeniable that that was a synchronicity. It felt right in line with what I was talking about being triggered, and, and he was a trigger for me. I admit it. I have. I have no guilt or shame in admitting that.
Blooming
We can bloom where we’re planted. That’s a good phrase to say to oneself every day I can bloom where I’m planted. One I’ve been saying to Richard a lot lately is, “We’re gonna go where we’re celebrated, not tolerated.” Because I have a feeling that some people just quit caring and you know, they were just tolerating us (for the money we spent while we were out with them. Maybe?). So that’s okay. You know, everybody’s got their own gig, right? Go where you’re celebrated, baby. I mean, let’s spin it to the positive. Every challenge is a barometer. That’s what it is. Look up what a barometer does, when you’re when it’s reading the weather, you know? It’s gonna show us if we’re living our truth, that’s what all these words are doing. They’re showing us if we’re living our truth, and if you’re not thinking first you’re reacting. Okay?
About the Integrating the Spirals meetings
So Integrating the Spirals. I’m thinking about doing these Zoom calls on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. Tuesdays from 5pm to 7pm, although that’s our dinner time. We’ll change things up one day a week (as for our dinner time) so I have time for this. This DE-Program, if you like that particular time frame, these are Eastern Time Zone times. Or Fridays from 6pm to 8pm. Or I could do anytime on Saturdays.
Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in joining me for this course, initially, since we’re essentially beta testing this right now, I’m thinking there won’t be any charge to it. If you’ll do me a favor. Can you spread the word, share this out? Share this message and tell some people about it. That’d be great.
I also think I want to do a sliding scale in the future when I do charge for this. Let me know what you think about that too. I’m thinking we’ll charge maybe $10 a session, or $25 to $60 for the whole course (but pay as you feel led or what you can afford). And it’s probably going to be take four sessions, but I’m thinking of making it five or six and spreading it out a little because it’s a lot of information. And the whole point is to integrate it in. I just don’t want people to buy things or spend any money at all. Don’t send me one dime if you’re not going to integrate this because that’s the whole point.
We do this course because we all have the books! (And the programs, and the coaches, etc.) I’ve downsized as much as I possibly felt I could but I still have a library of two medium-sized Rubbermaid totes full of books, and then a few more on top of that, so I probably have 30 or 40 books still in paperback and hardcover. I’ve moved as much as I can to Kindle and my Books app. I’ve always got between six and 12 books that I’m reading in progress at any given time, mostly for research for writing the blog and for my books in progress/planned.
Connecting
Anyway, let me know about Integrating the Spiral because this is useful as a book writing process as well. Just learning the DE-Program, getting out of the negative self-talk, and breaking some of the triggers that get us riled up, to bring in more calm and ease and connecting. I didn’t even talk about this yet. Connect. Connecting with our ancestors, will improve the relationships that we have because we’re gonna get a lot more peace and understanding and gratitude in us for our ancestors and we wouldn’t it be here without them. So feel your pulse feel. Know that their blood runs through your veins this will help connect you and it’ll also help you feel totally supported. You’re never alone because your ancestors are always there always in your blood. So in a sense, they’re always around you even if you don’t or can’t or won’t see them spiritually yet. The universe always has your back because you live in it. You’re part of it. You’re a layer of the onion within the onion.
Omniscience God
God Omniscience. You’re a fractal of omniscience because you’re always a part. You’re always a part of it. So it doesn’t exist separate from you. And your connectedness to yourself. That inner critic, the inner being inside of you, your spiritual nature, your soul that’s in your blood, all of that is key, and it’s really holism that’s what I’m teaching is Holism we use the directions we use the elements. We use crystals that you don’t have to use any of that because once you know it, and once you know about it, you can go anywhere and walk anywhere and do anything and these things will either be presented to you or pictures of them or humans. They’re just going to be there. They’re going to be out in nature. So don’t worry about that. This isn’t a course it’s going to try to sell you other stuff.
You’re going to walk away with epiphanies each time. It’s a kind of combination of counseling, and EFT the Emotional Freedom Technique. I used to teach that for a very long time at a Wellness Center. So you get some of that. You get me as a shaman or a witch doctor or however you want to look at me. We’re going to talk about holistic lessons on how to improve our life and our health. I just codified my lessons learned from life, from work, and I let my spirit totem butterfly push me out of my cocoon to live a wholly vibrant life.
A seed was planted in the dark earth imagine it starts to burst up and out through the dirt into the light, so every time you get shit on, somebody triggers you, somebody pisses you off and makes you mad. They’re stimulating you. They’re stimulating your growth. Imagine the dirt, the manure, whatever you want to imagine, around you as the little seed and all you got to do is just be you just be the seed, and when the light warms up the ground, you know where the light is versus going into the cold darkness of the deeper Earth. You’re gonna rise UP, you’re gonna rise to the occasion and reach for that light for that warmth. And you’re growing. We all are and we all grow at differing rates. of speed. I say that a lot.
Here’s the thing about integrating if you change one habit daily, think about that one habit. I didn’t just say do something once a day, but you’re changing a habit every day that’s 365 days in the year 365 new habits Who do you think you’ll be at the end of the year? So this course encourages you to make additional healthy choices. Even if you make 300 By the end of the year, even if you made 200, or 150 new habits. Who are you going to be at the end of the year? So think about it. Watch the video. Let me know what you think.
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency level—I am culpable. Each of us are a layer within the onion, not the whole onion. We are a fractal of Omniscience–and Omniscience knows ALL.

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).
Emotionallystirring
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.

Some people seem to thrive on arguing. I’m thinking in particular of lawyers, couples in tumultuous relationships, and those who always stir up or fuel discord on Facebook (and other social media).
My dad would often tell my mom to, “Change the subject.” And then he would change it!
I don’t think dad really ever liked arguing with my mom, though they constantly bickered. And all of that lead to my awareness that, “The truth lies somewhere in between.” And “It takes two to fight.”
Yet, it took me decades to learn that one of the two in an argument simply needs to STOP FIGHTING (in essence, release the resistance), to end the argument.
Yes, though my parents loved each other passionately, their love was not unconditional. Through watching them, I learned all about conditional love. So, how could I know what true love was?
Observations of parts
I observed, during a Bible class I participated in a few years ago, that some attendees argued more about specifics, like healthcare and sexism as related to Trump. I had to keep pulling people up to the macro general level and why we were there.
I seemed to only see the downside to love growing up in a dysfunctional family. I never thought anyone got it right. And then later, when I fell in love (or what I thought was love), I perpetuated the toxic cycle.
Truth lies somewhere in between
Which part am I?
I am not my body
I am not my mind
I am more than the sum total of my collective experience
I can list my likes and attributes, but you may still have a better idea of who I am, than I will ever have.
As my adult children and I have recounted stories from their youth, they certainly saw a different side of me than I self witnessed. The same must be true of how I viewed my parents volatile relationship.
Examining my characteristics
I am honest
I am sensitive
I am empathic; sometimes intuitive
I love deeply
I am resilient
I have fought tough relationship battles that might have wrecked others
I am a loyal friend (and keeper of secrets)
I allow my feelings to be hurt (and sometimes become resentful, until I become fully aware that I allowed my feelings to be hurt).
I hold stuff in (I say it is to “protect” others and spare them from having to observe it or get involved—but is that really true?)
I have been a codependent (but does one ever really heal from codependency?)
I don’t want to hold stuff inside, but anytime I get mad or speak my mind it pisses other people off.
I struggle with people pleasing. Or people not listening to me. I never saw my mom get too far when she argued with dad or others, so I decided early to forgo the arguments. Or so I thought! Both my first and second husbands argued with me. Ugh. And my children were witnesses to so much of that—and I hate that!
Learning from the lessons
Whenever I am emotionally triggered, I read this:
I never like to be disrespected, bullied, or have my intelligence questioned, or be treated less than I am! But I know I’m not always right. As well, others, no matter how well or how long they have known me, don’t know all of my thoughts, wishes, or desires, and that I strive to always respect others and show kindness if nothing else. I know many people are hurting, sad, mad, over or under medicated, or are hungry for love. And I realize no one knows Everything—not yet.
❤️🦋🌀🙏😉
What to do?
I am too analytical to blindly follow
I am independent
I am curious and always seeking
I can focus on the positives
I have some clairsentience and clairaudience abilities, though not tuned specifically to aid others. Perhaps I will offer these senses and abilities more of my time.
Fight to feel better
…When you feel bad nothing works. You labor to get out of bed. You stub your toe on a table that has never moved and you’ve known for years where it is. You lose your car keys, glasses, or phone. Walk around with a big old frown on your face and you know it drives people away from you. You’re fighting with yourself about something. Let go of whatever you’re resisting and your day will improve.
From my book, Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life!
Be as water
I love the water (but looking at it, or walking along the shore more than swimming in it–though I love to float!)
Water doesn’t fight with itself. Or does it?
Water rages. Water flows. Water falls. Water is still.
I will EXPLORE more ways to be like water!
Yes!
I will find my own balance.
I will find my own level.
I will start by reminding myself that the truth lies somewhere in between. I will not judge by what I see in the mirror, but simply point out the many facets of truth, per the mirror disco ball.
As Scott Buck, a writer on both Six Feet Under and Dexter series dramas often made a foundational point of saying, “We never really know a person.”
I like to compare our personalities to facets inside a kaleidoscope or disco ball. We reflect what we see or imagine others to be. ❤️🦋🌀
Even racists can be kind. And I am about over all the hate from the other side. ❤️🦋🌀

From the first moment we arrived at our new camp spot, I felt at home. Like I could really breathe here.
It has been one month now, since we moved to family property in north Florida. And we have been living off the grid, (that is no electric power pole, no city water or sewer, no landline phone, and no cable).
In this article, I’ll specifically focus on our Energy needs.
First, we powered our RV (a 36 foot 5th wheel), by running a gasoline fueled generator.
A week or so later, we bought 12 gel golf cart type batteries. By adding a large bank of batteries, we would run our generator a few hours a day—typically, 4 or 5 hours depending upon what we plugged into the outlets, or if we cooked on the stove, or used the microwave.
We quit using our hot water heater, large refrigerator, and air conditioner the first day. They were simply power hogs, and we could immediately see how inefficient they were.
12 battery bank (build in progress)
We’ve ordered our 12 solar panels, so that will be the next step. And if all goes well, this setup could last us several years. It will pay for itself within a year or two (more or less). Not in energy cost savings, but because we aren’t paying lot rent to a campground or park.
It’s been a bit of an adjustment to live a sustainable and simple life in Florida, where the temperatures in February can vary greatly during one day.
Hermit-land
I wanted to move to this place for more than a year. And right before we took the leap to move, my friend Lauren told me I might grow from being a hermit (or spending some time alone, as I like to think of it). Thus, as I sit to write this, I think I’ll call this place my hermit-land. It even has its own share of ferns, moss, and faerie-like homes, which amuse me.
Faerie homes? Old Florida
I’ll share some of my top reasons next, for moving here. Though, since relocating, I’ve discovered several more reasons. And these are not in any particular order:
Never lived in north Florida
Yearned to be with family
Desired to commune with nature
Wanted more room to walk
Ached for peace, quiet, and serenity
Longed to plant a garden (again)
Wanted to learn how to manage my own Energy
Do more with less
Read more
Play more music
Discover new places
Be closer to the Florida line for ease of travel
To fulfill my dad’s dream
But didn’t want to own property again
And didn’t want to pay lot rent
Easing into it
Learning how to managing one’s own Energy can be challenging, especially for us older folks. So, my son decided to show us how to live off grid, by having us plug into and run a generator for power during the first two weeks. We had some cold nights, and tripped a breaker when we turned on our electric fireplace.
We ran several checks to determine what we could run efficiently. And we made the necessary changes.
I chose not to run the hot water heater, because I had adjusted to lukewarm and cold showers (Thanks to Wim Hof’s teachings), and my son provided hot showers on property in a nice standalone bath house. Plus, I could warm a bit of water on the stove for washing dishes once a day, as needed. No need to keep multiple gallons of water hot all day and night long.
We chose not to use our big refrigerator (that had came standard in our 5th wheel). We borrowed an apartment sized fridge from my son and it suited our needs—especially after our food stock changed.
A few weeks after we moved, we began hearing of the Wuhan China (later termed, COVID-19), virus, so we had additional restrictions placed upon how much we could explore. For instance, we had discovered a few good restaurants, but they closed down, or only served take out orders. And our idea of checking out the parks and springs had to be put on hold too. We have been able to walk the property and adjust to our new daily routine, albeit not as easily as we might have hoped.
Some of what I love the most about living at our new spot, is being able to hang out with my son, cook, and enjoy the evening fires. Oh, and the stargazing!
Fire
We’ve gotten a little too much nature at times, such as being bitten by various bugs. And we’ve experienced strained muscles from lifting jugs of gas, plus a good deal of sweating during mid-afternoon heat (though we’re parked in the shade).
Note: we’ve not been running our air conditioner, though we could for awhile if it is the only thing plugged into the generator. And I have actually been feeling BETTER! I attribute it to less stress, less noise, and breathing natural air!
Learn how to live simply
My son runs the Dude Off Grid Facebook group, where you can see videos and more, and learn how you can live off grid too.
Cut costs, get out of debt, and help the planet! Sure seems like a win-win situation to me!
I don’t think there’s anything more fulfilling than learning how to Take It Upon Yourself to learn and do things for yourself. So much self worth and self esteem comes from that. Bravo son! And thank YOU for reading.

I had a huge clearing (emotional release) take place yesterday while playing“Fast Track Technique for Kidz” game with my friend and skilled certified practitioner, Dr. Susan Spilman.
I felt amazing then and still do now!
What an energizing and high vibe (vibration raising) experience! Susan told me that children and adults, (no matter the language they speak), can release emotions (even stored emotions they may not consciously be aware they’re holding), by playing this easy and FUN “game.”
Sheila and Susan Spilman holding the cards in the game, “Fast Track Technique for Kidz.”
The game worked on my Central meridian and I felt the GodBumps ripple down my spine, out my shoulders and arms, and a few moments later, down and out my legs and feet! My vibration was sooo high from playing this game and using the clearing method that my face became rosy! After leaving, I was able to meet up with additional friends (that my previous mind chatter might have talked me out of), visit with them for a couple of hours, drive over 100 miles home, talk with my husband, and stay up hours longer than usual with lasting vibrant energy! ❤️
As you know, I have been practicing and teaching Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) for years, but what I experienced yesterday was incredibly FAST and extremely easy! No tapping required! This “game” does everything I have been seeking, as far as showing us how we all have choices! (Go back to my home page to understand: https://SheilaMurrey.net)
Though I am a highly sensitive person (HSP) and empath, and didn’t feel I was carrying around any emotional baggage, I played the game just to see what I might uncover. And wow!
This game can help calm a child whose been bullied, comfort a sad one, ease one into playing on a team with others, or help inspire a lonely child or adult to engage and connect with others!
As an only child who was often picked last during team sports when I was a child, I revisited that old feeling of loneliness (for a couple minutes during this game play) and felt those old feelings lighten and disintegrate! No wonder I love inclusivity and Connection as an adult! Wow! Shocker! Hahahaha ❤️🤣
I want to be certified in this technique! That’s how much of an impact it made on and IN me. And it’s such an easy and FUN “game.”
I just taught one of my 2.5 year old granddaughters the motion we used yesterday (instead of the tapping points) when on video chat I saw her sucking her thumb and twirling her hair. She copied me (and removed her thumb out of her mouth)! I already see how exciting this technique will be to teach! ❤️😉
UPDATE: I got certified on Nov. 27, 2019!!

Reading and Working through A Course in Miracles are two completely different things.
Reading A Course in Miracles (ACIM) is quite different than working through the lessons in the course. And I believe the author’s intent was that we work through the course and apply it to our own unique life journey, i.e. the way (our perception) we each uniquely view life. Yes, the way we perceive life with all of its ups and downs.
Find a teacher
Thus, I’ve been following a teacher of A Course in Miracles (Chris Cade) for many years (via his emails and videos), but never really took the time to apply each teaching to my life as a dailypractice, until now.
What I’ve come to notice
I won’t plagaerize Chris’ teaching, but I will share some of the lessons I’ve learned from it. Maybe reading this will encourage you to check it out. I’ve learned that each of the following thoughts, which I’ve had at different points of my life, disrupted my serenity and calm (and that they all kind of feel the same–each taking up about the same amount of space in my head:
I am not angry at my most loved family member for not agreeing with me about the pedophile priests for the reason I think. (Note the attachment involved here, “my” and “most loved” along with two “reasons” to be angry.)
I am not afraid of my ex for the reason I think.
I am not worried about any of my family members’ suffering or state of lack for the reason I think.
I am not worried about some creditor for the reason I think.
I am not depressed about some potential problem for the reason I think.
I am not agitated about some health issue for the reason I think.
I am not anxious during hurricane season because we live in Florida near the water or any other reason I think. (Note how the mind layers “reason” upon “reason” to convince itself of its’ rightness?)
These thoughts seem to take me off balance, thus, I really want the course to help me with that, and release the upset to return my most often state to calm and centered.
We have already discussed “upset” before and how to question our thoughts. Now, ACIM asks me to realize that Anything I am upset about—it happened in the past (even if it happened one second ago)!
All hurt (experience)
All education (training)
All learning (lessons)
ALL were in the PAST.
Why I continually seek
I am the person I am today because of Everything I have experienced up to this point in life. But, every moment I know I can make a different choice. I am open to that. I am open to unlimited and boundless potential! I am happy where I am NOW, and eager for more!
I know there was a reason for the puritanical ways (strict adherence to The Law to teach reverence and humility), but it makes me sad to think of those times. I much prefer Jesus’ words of Love. “And the greatest of these (commandments) is Love.” ❤️🦋🌀
Live and breathe Love & Gratitude
Thank Omniscience ALLways. OM

Well, as a highly sensitive person (HSP) and empath, I just learned today that, “You are only upset about someone else’s disturbance when you CONNECT with the negative Energy of their experience”! ❤️🦋🌀
It seems simple.
It seems I have heard something like that before. Or that at my age, I should have known that. Hmmm. I will meditate on that statement (sit with it) for a few days, and then update this post.
UPDATE: Be the change I wish to see in the world. Healing. Healed. Yes, I desire peace. And that’s why it is important for me to heal my wounds, past traumas, and triggers.
Would you like to share what you think this statement means?
“You are only upset about someone else’s disturbance when you CONNECT with the negative Energy of their experience.”
Why are you upset?
Choice
I know why I’m upset if someone does or says something TO me, and I know it’s my choice as to how I react. Some people laugh stuff off, but not me. I take stuff seriously. Ugh!
I know it’s my choice about how I react to external situations, but sometimes the emotions overwhelm me to the point that my logic doesn’t work. I use EFT to calm myself during those times, but I would prefer to feel less upset, especially when whatever the situation is has NOTHING to do with me!
It’s always a question of choice – ALL ways.
Until today, I couldn’t figure out why I let other people’s negative experiences bother me. When someone is sad or hurting, I empathize.
Why choice? It’s human nature to struggle for our independence. Even my twin granddaughters (who love each other very much), fuss and fight because each wants to live an independent life.
Why today?
I listened to Alania Starhawk’s lunchtime Facebook Live message and the statement in the image above just dropped into my mind!
Yes, whatever triggers a negative emotion in me, was already IN me! And at the moment of sensing the trigger, I have the ability to become conscious. When I am consciously aware, I can choose to soothe the past trauma or wound and make a better choice!
I’ve got this! And so do you.
We Are All Connected. OM
Many blessings to you in ALL ways.
