It’s August 10th, 2024; We have an original lively pop song that’s about feeling the desire to see the one you love again. There’s some hot guitar riffs on this (especially in the bridge)! Solid-gold vocals from Bubba Hudson on this song. Thanks to Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN for the sweet pro demo work on this song.
Here’s the two-hundred-twenty-third new music post for 2024, as I consistently push out an original song for everyone to enjoy. We’ve got a love that is true.
Speaking of truth
We abSOULutely love the way Peter Santenello connects with people as he discovers new towns across America. He really digs for truths in his interviews and conversations. In particular, I love it when Peter visits the Appalachia mountain regions of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, as this video illustrates:

I love health remedies you can use at home
Super Patches are fast and easy to use at home! I wasn’t feeling too good the other day and I slapped on a Defend Super Patch and was feeling good within a couple of hours. I also popped a couple of Vitamin C capsules–full disclosure.
Super Patches come with a 30-day money-back guarantee–order more than one kind from my replicated website: https://sheilamurrey.superpatch.com –Sheila Murrey
Super Patches use a fractal design to ‘speak’ to your brain via your skin
Super Patches use a design (no medicine or synthetics involved), to stimulate your brain via fingerprint-like designs that allow our brains to turn things on and off in our body. I’m using these brain-stimulating patches every day. And I’m thrilled to introduce you to Super Patches! The company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee because we’re all different. And we know trying something new can be scary. Be skeptical but try them for yourself. Available in the UK and going global soon!
My meme: “I am drawn to using Super Patches to heal, from our experiences with Healing Touch, Reiki, Glyphs, Laying on of Hands, and meditation on the Intelligent Design of our fingerprints!” –Sheila Murrey
Everything happens for a reason
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24!
Yours in expanding, compassionate, spiraling consciousness,

Spiritually speaking
As a Minister and Spiritual Advisor, it is my pleasure to help you find a way to Connect with spirit. Our ever-living God Omniscience knows ALL. The invitation is open to you.
I speak and offer advice by invitation only. If you would love me to speak at your office, bookstore, crystal shop, acupuncture/chiropractor office, natural health foods store, art fair, music, or yoga festival–comment on this post or reach out to me via my social channels.
After the assembly of a second cube bookcase storage unit, it occurred to me to apply my spiral methodology from, Integrating the Spirals™ to finish the third set. Duh! Had I applied the spiral principle on the first two sets they would have turned out much better—without all the struggle! If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
You may be wondering why I would use such a methodology for putting together such a storage center. I didn’t consider it either until I got very tired of struggling with the first one. Mind you, the only reason I bought these was because my daughter had bought some for our eldest granddaughter and my daughter assembled these herself so if I got stuck I knew I could text her for advice. And I loved the look of these when my daughter sent me the pictures of our granddaughters’ room! I felt these would help hubby and I stay organized.
What I learned was to
Use a ratchet Phillips screwdriver (a power screwdriver would be best—but don’t over torque the screws)
Do one at a time and improve with each
Take your time and rest in between cabinets or even between sections of each
Don’t beat yourself up mentally for any mistakes
Stay mindful and use my integrating methodology
When you get to the long side panels, put the pegs in on the cabinet side pre-drilled holes first so you can hold the side panel up against it and adjust the shelves, bottom, and top to fit the holes of the side panel to a tight junction to the cabinet
Place the screws in the top and bottom rows first and align the panel (consider the top is row 1 and the next is row down is 2, etc. Put the screws in the order of 1, 8, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, and 5).
Lay it flat to work it out and gave someone help you raise it upright once it is completely assembled. Grab it from the midsection!
I encourage everyone who desires to put these together to ensure they have a ratchet screwdriver or power screwdriver and mallet! With the right tools and knowledge nearly every job is easy.
Here are some pictures in the order of my progress:
The beginning: putting the middle shelves in the midsection first.I got very tired from using this screwdriver. Also it was too long.Putting the back in place.Deciding to lay it down to put the bottom piece on.Dreading this. Had to get the shelves and right side panel on. Why did I do it this way? UghJust what I was afraid of. I F’d it up. I stripped two of the screws on this first one. Live and learn!At least the bottom and top fit together well. Maybe the board was a little warped. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it! Ha!First one is complete.Second one is complete.Third one in progress. Yes, I built it standing upright. But I had the ratchet screwdriver at this point and it was all going so much easier!Third one complete!Furrino 11-shelf cube bookcase instructions By the third one, I got all the corners aligned 100%!All three bookcases lined up and ready for putting stuff in. Load it from the bottom up! I know that from working with filing cabinets most of my career.I feel sooo accomplished! I fell asleep congratulating myself for a job well done (though it took me 3 days)!
It is my humble honor to expand our consciousness together and grow THROUGH any and all perceived obstacles to assist us as we GROW our souls.

WOO-HOO!!! My 4th book is out now, in the paperback version on Amazon!! Yippee-YAY!! This is the cover—yes the paperback cover is different from the ebook. I sort of did that as a test to see which one got more attention. We shall see!
Plus, my eldest granddaughter’s favorite color is yellow so there’s that. Ha! Of course, I love the spirals and fractals but so far that cover hasn’t helped get eyes on the Kindle ebook. Yet, fractals make me feel good! Aww, I know.
Paperback book cover for Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life: Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally–click the cover to go directly to the book on Amazon.
We’ve been having a little chatty chat about the different colors for the book’s cover, and how I used the Kindle Create app to create the covers, for the ebook I uploaded a background I’d made in my fractal app, but for the paperback I went with a template and modified it.
You tell me. Do I go with the yellow even though yellow is traditionally meant to mean “caution”? I liked the green color too, because green is for growing and living plants, etc. But it just didn’t jump out at me as much. My eldest granddaughter loves yellow and my soulie sister/friend, Nikki Payne of How I Found My Muchness, showed me chakra information on yellow that resonated with me too! Thank you, Nikki!
I can’t tell you what you ALL mean to me. This commUnity has really inspired me… breathing! And when I was slammed with work this past month and had to put the completion of this book on hold, you inspired me to get it done–especially, Nikki, because she sooo wanted the paperback version. Oh, yeah, Nikki… giggle giggle like you do!!! Wink! Giggle giggle!
And here’s the ebook cover:

Here’s the background I created in the fractal app, Scale. Upon further reflection and a bit of play a few moments ago, I could create a yellow background in this with either the blue or green (note that all the headings inside the book content are blue–though they won’t print in color):
Let me know in the comments which you prefer, as I am curious as to the cover that PULLS you in more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Observations based on the Egoscue movement method I learned from Tony Robbins’ 5-day challenge last week, co-mingled with an article I saw at work and crossover to moves I do daily to ease stress and tension brought a thought to mind that I could document this.
Part of my daily body actions are: Donna Eden Energy Medicine movements, breath work, eye exercises, along with some Qigong, Yoga, Asian squats, and now, this Egoscue method. All together I call this my daily F-L-O-W, a method I share in sessions of Integrating the Spirals™.
I incorporate prayer and meditation, focus, and physical movements in my daily F-L-O-W and now find the Egoscue helps me align my body properly before beginning some of the postures.
During the 5-day challenge last week, at the beginning and throughout every motivation speeches Tony encouraged each participant to stand up, bring a lot of Energy into our bodies by moving around a bit, and throwing high-fives to the screen or someone near us. He encouraged us to move to raise our bodily energies. And it felt sooo good! We did this at least once each hour. It really got me motivated to include some sort of movement into each hour of every day! Even if I forget one hour because I am super focused on something for work, I stand up every two hours. As well, I will get more water to drink, tea, go to the restroom, etc. so I get a bit of walking in too.
I used to walk each morning at 7am and watch the sunrise and am going to work on that next as a means of integrating it back into my loose daily routine. Life’s an Art, remember. I am much more of a flexible person that rigid. I am much more spontaneous than structured in my activities but I appreciate the value of structure, organization, and planning. I tend to aim toward the middle of the personality four squares. I tend to be a centrist, and sit in the neutral zone. But while this tendency helps me appreciate from ALL sides, I do think it tends to make me live in the gray zone much more than the black and white contrasts of life, which are also beautiful in many ways. But I digress, or as I call it, veer off into spiral thoughts.
All this said, to help you find what feels good to you and then do it. I was very glad to hear Tony say it can take people six months to forge these kinds of body movements into one’s routine as a habit because I never bought into the theory that it “takes 21 days to establish a habit.” In fact, I’ve actually done several things for a year or more and then stopped because the habit never “took” with me. Apparently, my personality isn’t wired to habit or addiction, and of course when it comes to addiction that’s a good thing. I’m strong-willed.
As for the Asian squats I do, now, I am able to sustain this position for a minute or minute and a half. I used to be too fat (just calling it like it was) to get into the position, and as well, my knees were too weak. Losing twenty pounds in the last few months and strengthening my knees by simply attempting to get into the Asian squat position helped me finally get into it. I do it at least three times a day, always thankful while squatting that I don’t have to do it for work or to use the restroom. I do it for fun and challenge not because I have to.
Now, the challenge for me in the Asian squat is to move from standing to squat without using my hands in any way, and return back to standing after squatting without using my hands. I had to rely on my hands a lot to get into and out of the squat and I didn’t get discouraged when it took me months to achieve the position. I focused on the progress I made each day.
Align with your soul and then, blend. Every cell in your body will thank you. Yes, ALL 50 to 70 to 100 trillion cells, whatever’s in there. They’re dancing, and they’re thanking you for putting yourself with like-minded people in a situation where you can receive.
Be open to receiving many blessings and always is my prayer for you every moment. Spirit sees ALL timelines, interactions, and interweaving lines. We will know too when we are on the Other Side.

Since I met Patricia McGivern and had a one-on-one hypnotherapy session with her on my birthday in 2016, I have been keeping notes about observations in nature, dreams, visions, and surreal experiences (nighttime visitations) from my mom and dad since they have crossed over to the Other Side of The Veil, transitioned to the Grand Beyond, or had their “Celebration Day.”
My new book draws from these experiences. I named the book, Blues Eyes, a metaphysical novel because it’s centered around things my one day old sister, Christina has shown me.
Book cover: Blue Eyes: A metaphysical novel
I’ll write more and put out some videos soon about what the writing process has been like, but for now, I want to highlight some important lessons and concepts:
Note from 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.
Note from March 18th, 2021
An Aha moment! While reading the preceding paragraphs, held within about 500 writing “Notes” in my iPhone, I realized (seeing with REAL EYES), that I’d written that 3 years to the day BEFORE the DATE dad had set with me to visit each other—due to me always being “busy, busy, busy” (dad’s words).
Overarching Takeaways
Sitting in this “complete and fulfilling state of GRATITUDE and GRACE” I Am humbled.
When anything disturbs me (including myself), when my expectations aren’t met, I will choose to let it go as best I can to Limitless Omniscience God, and forgive myself and others as we can never see the whole picture, or know the whole story—much less control anything.
Cherish nothing else except each moment of Presence.
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.
In a Sacred Hoop of Life, there is no beginning and no ending. To everything, turn, turn, turn. There is a reason.
Each of us is important and have a mission. Much love and multitudinous blessings to each of you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

After consuming nothing but citrus fruit for more than a month, see my previous post: https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/03/25/when-was-the-last-time-you-felt-great/ and then lightening up to include some raw vegan foods, such as: celery, avocados, romaine lettuce, and saag spinach paneer with basmati rice for dinner too (a few times). And last month, I’d added green smoothies back into my diet to use up some protein powder I’d had in the pantry, as well as, try bananas again (that I had not eaten or used in smoothies for YEARS)!
I had noticed, even before adding the green smoothies, that I wasn’t losing anymore weight. But, in June I’d gained about 5 pounds back! Ugh! I had felt like I’d been sacrificing too–even with that frozen banana in my smoothies. And that’s never a good thing, and why a lot of people regain weight after dieting (which often leads people to conclude that “diets don’t work”).
But, is it true that diets don’t work???
Or perhaps, it’s that we’ve just never found the right balance of foods that will help us achieve our most desirable weight?
I happened to stumble upon this video with Dr. Ken Berry and a gal named Kelly Hogan (who has been eating only meat for 13 YEARS!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ-qwRGNgjo
I had an epiphany while watching this. I had never ONLY consumed meat. I’d always eaten meat with lots of veggies, mostly low carb veggies. I had been raised on meat and potatoes, and some Italian foods like spaghetti with meat sauce and lasagna.
After watching that video and doing a fair amount of research, I was off to the grocery store! LOL
I spent about the same, if not less, money for only meat, eggs, and butter, as I had been spending on all the veggies and fruits for me, (as well as the prepared frozen meals for hubby).
Now, my hubby could join me and eat what I was cooking. Ah, cooking! Yes, I’d been missing that. Something about the smell of food cooking. Pleasing aromas.
I decided to commit to eating a carnivore diet for at least 3 days. Perhaps a week or more if I noticed any difference. In particular, I wanted to see if the number would go down on the scale! Ha!
The first day
I ate my regular breakfast. One ruby red grapefruit. (and no, I doubt grapefruit is on the Carnivore Diet but I love grapefruit and still had a bag of them in the fridge that I wasn’t going to waste).
For lunch, I modified my green smoothie to only 2 handfuls of kale, 1 frozen banana, and 1 cup frozen strawberries, and WATER to blend. No almond milk. No coconut milk. No protein powders. (‘d been adding almond or coconut milk before and using up protein powder I’d had on hand–this time, I was going to go “bare bones” and see if it made a difference).
Mid-afternoon, I felt a little hungry and ate two Paleovalley beef sticks (that we’ve had stored for over a year–I love their turkey sticks).
For dinner, hubby and I both thoroughly enjoyed a lamb shoulder and a ribeye steak! It was the first lamb I had cooked in years (I had to look up the broiling time), and it was the first time I’d used the broiler since we moved to the condo last September!
We following Dr. Berry and Kelly’s advice and only seasoned these with salt and freshly ground black pepper. YUM! I have always loved lamb and never needed mint jelly. I did miss having a small 3 to 4 ounce crystal glass of red wine with this, but I focused on how indulgent the meat with it’s accompanying fat (another thing I’ve always loved about steak), so in moments I wasn’t even thinking about the wine (and I did have 3 bottles in the kitchen, so… willpower! Haha!). I also had a thought that the 4 Rivers barbecue sauce would be lovely on the side of the steak, but I abstained from that too.
The second day of my carnivore trial run was on a Saturday.
Now the real test was if I could get through a whole day on nothing but what I’d bought the night before and what we’d had on hand–without feeling like I needed to go buy any missing ingredients (something that always seemed to happen to me whenever I started a new diet).
The morning after my first carnivore day, and drumroll please… I lost 1.7 pounds!
To say I was shocked is an understatement!
What’s more, I had no cravings the night before. Usually I’d want a Werther’s Original caramel hard candy, or small square of dark chocolate, 3 or 4 ounces of dry red wine, something at the end of the day–especially on a Saturday night while sitting at home, watching a couple of movies. NOPE! Not this time.
This time, I had a couple of scrambled eggs for breakfast about 11:30am and a Paleovalley meat stick around 1pm. I didn’t make a smoothie today.
Dinner was a big ribeye steak grilled on the stove in my cast iron grill pan with a bit of grass-fed ghee on the pan (because I thought the steak might stick–it didn’t).
Again, I had a thought that some red wine might taste great with this, but I let the thought go pretty easily and did not succumb to it. And again I was surprised that I didn’t want any other bite of anything.
The third day
The third day of my carnivore adventure was on a Sunday.
I drank 32 ounces of water, went to the bathroom, and had a good BM. Well-formed. No smell. Substantial. (Yes, we talk sh*t here in this blog. Haha!)
Weighed in and had lost, or gently released shall I say, more than another pound! 1.1 pounds to be exact. Again, I am happily impressed!
I treated hubby and myself to a big brunch of 3 scrambled eggs (each), leftover ribeye, and chopped Paleovalley beef sticks. I did add a couple ounces of raw goat cheese to the pan of eggs and meat.
Since we ate after noon today, we ate dinner about 6pm and actually, it wasn’t enough! I’d bought a package of chicken wings but didn’t look at the weight. The package was just over a pound (and I’m supposed to eat a pound of meat for myself). Hmm, what to do!
I hadn’t cooked chicken at home in YEARS. So, I got the fry pan ready with the ghee in it and good and warm. I cooked the whole package of wings and when I could tell (by slicing into a few with a knife) that they were done, hubby and I shared (he had 5 and I had 4). I knew I would probably still be hungry, and I was. So, I ate another Paleaovalley turkey stick. And then, I waited. I didn’t feel full, but I wasn’t hungry. So, I drank another 32 ounce glass of water and had a cup of herb tea.
That got me through a movie and couple of Westworld series episodes (as last night was the premiere of the new season)! Love that show!
Morning of the fourth day
As you may suspect by now, yes, I lost another 1.1 pounds!!!
Okay, this is convincing me that for now at least, I am going carnivore! LOL
But I am going to have my grapefruit in the morning (the next few mornings), until that bag is gone. And I’m going to make my kale, strawberry, and banana smoothie this afternoon. I will post again in a few weeks and let you know the progress.
We have a big bag of shrimp in the freezer and salmon filets–so that will be dinner today/tomorrow. After that, we will be on vacation for a week, so we’ll see if I can stick to this during that time. If not, I’ll restart the Carnivore Diet when we come home.
I’ve noticed that a big part of this diet, other than all the meat and animal products, is learning how to read and abide by our own personal hunger cues (instead of looking a the clock) to know when it’s supposed to be time to eat.
I put what kale I had left (after making my smoothie today) in the Vitamix with some water and poured into an ice cube tray to use if I make a beef stew or such.

The following wraps up our example session and my previous post, where we used the Integrated Spiral™ DE-Program as a method of organizing our handwritten notes (which had previously been an unorganized, chaotic pile of note cards): https://sheilamurrey.net/2022/06/04/going-deep-with-integrated-spiral/.
Integrated Spiral session wrap
Hello everybody, my name is Sheila Murrey and I run a DE-Program called, Integrated Spiral™. This DE-Program can be used in a multitude of ways, as it’s a way of getting thoughts out of our heads (easing anxious thoughts), feeling heard and supported (by sharing in an intimate group), and putting our ideas into action (be it writing a book, creating a course, or preparing a business plan)! And now, this article wraps up the example we worked through on June 4th, 2022.
At this point, we have the pieces of information organized. Our example was to take a lot of disparate notes and create one large task, like writing a book, or developing a program or a course, or even starting a business (because we have acquired a LOT of information over our years on the earth). Haha!
We took physical action and moved our information from the 3.5 x 5 cards to whatever computing application or tool we had available. Or if we didn’t have the app or tool that we thought we might need, we downloaded and installed that.
In my previous example, we had moved all of our information to a mind map, as shown:
Mind Map software tool to organize your digital notes, references, etc.
How the Spiral process helps
Whenever you’re interrupted or distracted from working on your project, the spiral holds space for you to stop (with different topics in play) and restart without any need to work on a schedule. You can always interweave any rabbit holes you’ve gone down as well, into the spiral pattern.
Spirals carved into ancient stones of Sacred Site: Newgrange (Boyne Valley, County Meath, Ireland)
When I started working on a new course within Integrated Spiral™, I used this process and found it most effective and satisfying Indeed, the process eased the pressure off.
Copying and pasting
From the mind map, copy and paste headings and text content into whatever format needed to complete your project. For blog posts (like this one), I usually skip the mind map and move my text directly into an app on my phone, such as the WordPress app when the outcome I desire is a blog article. But for anything else, I either copy and paste into an email and send it to myself, or any kind of notes app on my phone.
Note: I quit using the Notes app on my iPhone this year because I found it was auto-saving each and every note I opened in the app and creating a gmail message, which was filling up my gmail account and I didn’t want 1000 versions of notes in my gmail account. I have been emailing myself snippets of content and using my unread emails as a way to prompt me to complete each task, whether it be adding that content to a draft version of something on my computer or creating a social media post, etc.
Here’s a quick list of applications and tools you may consider using (even for simply one part of your project) depending upon the outcome desired:
WordPress app (I use the app on my phone to begin a draft, then complete each blog article from the browser WordPress app on my laptop)
Word (on a PC), Pages (on a Mac), or Docs (Google Docs) for any written text
Excel (on a PC), Numbers (on a Mac), or Sheets (found within Google Docs) application for any kind of accounting or sorting project, like a budget or list of titles you want to alphabetize
PowerPoint (on a PC), Keynote (on a Mac), or Slides (Google Docs) for any kind of course or presentation
Forms (on a PC), Forms (Google Docs) for any kind of online forms creation software, such as: 123FormBuilder, Cognito Forms, Form.io, Form Tools, JotForm, Ninja Forms, TellForm, Typeform, or Wufoo.
Facebook “Story” builder (can create and not publish a story and screen capture to use their backgrounds) for building social media memes
SurveyMonkey for online surveys
Create a draft version
Weave all of your parts or chapters together to form the draft version. You might consider sharing the draft with several beta testers (those friends or family, even other WordPress readers) who will read your work and spot any details you may have missed, such as spelling, grammar, or overall readability.
Make any changes to the draft that are necessary.
If you are creating a book or course, you may want to copy and paste your content into specific proprietary systems such as WordPress or Smashwords for self-publishing. Or at this point, you could send your edited manuscript to an editor or publisher.
FEELING check point
One of the big benefits of this process is the feelings of ease that are built into it.
How are you feeling now?
You’ve had to search and find a few tools perhaps. Did that grow your curiosity? Good!
You’ve had to stop to take care of anything else pressing. When you returned to this task, did you find it easier? You could find your place to begin again, with ease?
Now, that you’re nearing completion, are you feeling the accomplishment in this? And yes, mental ease? If so, brilliant! That’s a big benefit of this DE-Program philosophy and loose framework.
Integrated Spiral™ Daily Gratitude F-L-O-W
Let’s do this main process WITHIN Integrated Spiral™. (As before, I’m letting you ALL in on a bit of a secret! Shhhh… haha!)
Perform the DAILY Gratitude F-L-O-W consisting of the following movements:
Bow flow, sweep hands together – from the outside in
From the inside tap or pat, hug and swipe the body
Think/Consider: Ancestors. Breath. Water. Spiral blood flow. Foods that nourish.
This is the morning gratitude ritual we can do before we begin work (on anything) and at the end to honor and release our time.
Breathe with the movements. From and with an open heart in all directions. Movement starts from the inside. Turn, turn turn in the image of the spiral. Food starts from the outside. Gratitude for all inside and outside. “We can choose the thoughts we dwell on” Les Brown. That’s a quote. Think: Listen to what I tell myself. How am I doing? Scale radius units human ratios universe. Observational units unified physics, energy mass surface to volume, ratio relationships, effects (Nassim Haramein) and the division of space and space memory. Electromagnetism diverging opposite of gravity, converging one attracts, one repels. Divergent and convergent.
Rest in the spaces between and the thoughts grow larger with practice, mind my own energy or manage my own energy. We are each a fractal of Omniscience.
We work, honor, rest, and meditate while playing in the space of the Integrated Spiral™.
Spiral summary list
In summary, the main ideas are to:
Use the Integrated Spiral™ process to ease your mind and move thoughts to index cards, talking through the cards and recording using Otter to transcribe
Organize the cards in a spiral fashion to bring order and a feeling of space in and leave room to add, as well as hold space for when you are distracted
Stack (by turning each category of cards a quarter turn and placing on top of each other) if you have to stop the process at any point and clear the table, bed, or floor space where you’ve been working
Mind map for additional clarity, as needed (and if desired) especially helpful if you’ll reuse chunks of content for additional projects
Copy and paste from the mind map (or Otter file if you skipped the mind mapping) to whichever phone app or computing tool you think will work best depending up the outcome you desire
Create a draft version
Find willing victims (hehe) readers to beta test the project, read the book, take the course, or join the program
Edit and polish (before copying and pasting into final a proprietary system, especially if you’re using something like Smashwords to self-publish a book)
Send the manuscript to an editor or publisher, or choose to self-publish
Everything happens for a reason and purpose. So, our purpose here is to “connect the dots” as we bridge Heaven to Earth. See my previous blog dedicated to we’re all connected, you may wish to read.

Book Review (showing Book Cover): New Perspectives, Past Lives
Shari Hinkle’s book, New Perspectives, Past Lives is a book that I spent quite a while reading as it touched me deeply. Knowing Shari personally, having traveled with her (and a group) to Ireland, England, and Scotland in the summer of 2019 helped too, as I could hear her voice in my head as I read, and put a frame around some things she’s told me.
Meet Shari
Massage therapist, Pilates instructor, and new author, Shari Hinkle, Connects with me on so many levels! And we can talk for hours, even while she’s massaging this body that I inhabit! LOL (then again, I am always intrigued and asking questions of most of my massage therapist (LMT) friends! Go figure!)
Shari and I seek and observe (and then share) many of the synchronicities that we each experience. And we both love talking about anything that’s vibrational in nature, Energy Medicine, personal responsibility and choices, as well as, how We Are All Connected (and interconnections that are ALL around us)!
After having many profound past life regression sessions with Patricia McGivern and writing this book, Shari also offers past life regression sessions to clients. And if you’re interested, continue reading and consider connecting with Shari for your own session.
Interconnections and Vibrations
Throughout New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari offers us more about how everything is interconnected through Vibration. She explains why we use phrases like, “feeling blue,” “out of the blue,” and “green with envy.” (Remember, color is a vibration).
Shari also explores how our soul can draw us to a physical place and location, such as how we were drawn to the Sacred Sites of visit Ireland, England, and Scotland. She calls this kind of draw an “energy of connectedness.”
Layers of Energy
Shari writes about the layers of Energy and lessons she learned from re-experiencing her past lives through her hypnosis past life regressions sessions with Patricia McGivern.
Shari was re-introduced to characters as she made her way through a series of past life regressions with Patricia, and some of those persons (or personages) were people she’s met in THIS life! Baffling and thrilling, right? I won’t spoil it for you, but when you read it, look closely at the character, Gilda.
In one past life, Shari learned that “There is Power in the Pause.” (capitals mine) I meditated on that sentence for some time. (And as you may remember I love the book, Power over Force, and as a writer the word Power tends to always leap off a page!)
I found that Shari’s way of explaining bodily sensations were unique in this book, and I believe that’s because of the training in massage and Pilates she’s had. She puts a special spin on things that I’ve felt but had a hard time describing! Here’s one quick example,
The “imprint” of energy began to magnify up to my brow bone and then around my head.”
From New Perspectives, Past Lives by Shari Hinkle
Loving reminders
In New Perspectives, Past Lives, Shari touched on something one of my grandfathers always used to say, “Stop and smell the flowers.” Statements such as these, as I read them, make me feel as though my family on the other side of The Veil are sitting beside me! Ah! Love it.
Some layers of stuck energy actually hinder us from living up to our highest potential, or keep us from “shining bring” as Shari says. I know after our trip to the Sacred Sites on our Sacred Celtic Journey in July 2019, I began writing emails–even business emails–starting with the words, “Hello bright shining ones.” I had never done that before!
If you think re-living a past life experience might be painful, know that a hypnotherapist can bring you back to reality very quickly. And that immediately, or within some short time period following the session, you’ll probably feel relief (either physical, mental, or emotional) from having gone through the process and released something that had been bound in that former life. That’s certainly been my experience, as well as gain broader, deeper, and a much more intimately personal understanding of spirit, Omniscience God, sense of Compassion for others, and ALL.
In summary
New Perspectives, Past Lives is soul-expanding, and mesmerizing. It is relevant (especially if you have unexplained body pain), enlightening, and curious–in the mystical way.
For me, the new perspective I gained confirmed once again that, Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

I woke up one morning with this question in my mind, “When was the last time I felt GREAT?”
Have you ever asked yourself that question???
Almost immediately after asking myself this question, I answered myself “When I was eating raw food”!
Thus, I looked up Dan McDonald, The Life Regenerator on my email (as I have followed him for YEARS, even though I’d quit eating 100% raw in 2008).
I bought an hour personal consult with Dan and his team was so responsive! Within a couple of days, I was on the phone with him and he was just as real (honest-to-God authentic and humble human being), as I’d always thought he might be (from feeling like I knew him from his MANY enlightening YouTube videos)!
I recorded the call on my laptop, so I could listen over and over to keep myself motivated and encouraged. (And yes, I have needed to listen to our conversation again after a couple of weeks.)
I’d received an email from Dan (before our call – from his mass email list) about eating nothing but citrus fruits! I’d never thought of that before, nor had I ever eating strictly one type of foods. Even when I was a raw vegan for one year, I’d eaten quite a variety of raw fruits and vegetables.
So, a couple of days before our phone consult, I began eating several varieties of citrus fruit, and drinking lemon and lime infused water. And by the time we talked, I was really ready to HEAR and embody Dan’s advice.
Grapefruit, orange, and Halos mandarins
I decided to commit to eating this way for the month of March 2022 or longer. I committed to being really AWARE of how I feel before, during, and after eating. I began taking it “one day at a time.” And so far, so good!
To date, I have released 10 pounds in 2 weeks and feel GREAT!
Now, the weight loss has subsided a bit and I have incorporated celery and avocados into my daily diet, for dinner. I had felt I just needed a bit more fiber and fat to help move stuff through my body. And a couple times I did have romaine lettuce, basmati rice and saag spinach paneer for dinner too.
For me, right now, this is of value. And I’ll continue to adjust daily as needed. But this way of eating has brought a lot of LIGHT into my body, as Dan said it would. And I feel it!
Update: I see the Ego in the salad (like Dan said too). And come on! Back to the citrus. Maybe fruitarian IS in my future. Hmmm
If you can tune in for at least 20 minutes… I know a few people like Dan, and I can tell you, he speaks a LOT of wisdom here:
THIS gets very Spiritual! 😍💓
