Finally! My book is done!

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. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

Bridging Heaven and Earth

I woke up this morning with some entangled thoughts, but when I sat with them, they melded into one:

I Am BRIDGING Heaven and Earth!

You see, I’d been told years ago (by master Lama Nicholas Packard), that my life mission was to bridge Heaven and Earth, but I saw the word, “bridge” as a NOUN! Now, this morning, I realize (see with new eyes), that it’s a VERB!

Daily, yes, in every moment, I am BRIDGING (a word that is also very close to the words, BRIDE and BRING), ALL I have learned and have felt until now, of the heavenly realms, with ALL I know from having lived an earthly life!

We Are ALL Connected

I am constantly breathing it, pulsing it, allowing it TO BE.

When we say, “It is what it is.” We’re doing it.

When we say, “I Am what I Am.” We’re doing it.

When we say, “Let it Be.” We’re doing it.

I Am BRIDGING Heaven and Earth. Daily. Moment by moment. It is what it is. I am what I am. Let it Be.

I am noticing my Mind. I Am Mindful, yet, purposeful in ALL of my thoughts, words, actions, and pursuits. Focus and Awareness is sharp.

And I’ve noticed that I say the word, “so” a LOT. I think it’s because I am constantly sewing (get it? so-ing?) I am sowing seeds. And I am sewing and WEAVING Heaven or Spirit INTO my Life (my Soul), and beating a new drum as I walk easily on this earth. Hmm. I’ve never really thought about it this way before–and apparently, this has been “in the works” for YEARS (read my previous blog article from April 2017 here!)

Bridging. Weaving. Integrating!

This is new.

This is interesting. And exciting! And I think I see a new reason for Integrated Spiral™.

Time it takes a human body to renew

I think, especially NOW, we could all use this list to focus on and renew our cells!

  • A human’s BLOOD PLATELETS are replaced every 10 days.
  • A human’s COLON is completely NEW every 2-3 days.
  • A human’s HEART MUSCLE cells are renewed 24/7.
  • A human’s JOINT & CARTILAGE cells are constantly renewing.
  • A human’s LIVER is 100% new every five months.
  • A human’s LUNGS are brand-new every 2-3 weeks.
  • A human’s RED BLOOD CELLS are ALL new every four months.
  • A human’s SKELETON and BONES renew themselves by 10% every year.
  • A human’s SKIN is brand-new in as little as 14 days. (The product I use and sell helps skin cells replenish in 28 days)
  • A human’s STOMACH is brand-new every 2-9 days.
  • A human’s TASTEBUDS are all NEW every 10 days.

When you brush your teeth, focus on sending love and healing intentions to your teeth and gums, tongue, jaw bone, face, and so on.

Apply this knowledge to the rest of your body as you move, bathe, get a massage, do self acupressure, etc.

Let me know what changes you experience! And if you want to know more about a liquid supplement that can help (that my husband and I have been taking for 4 years) reach out to me. ❤️🦋🌀〰️

Quote: Thank God we have an innate power within our human spirit to persevere and thrive (even conquering the worst possible of horrors. ❤️🦋🌀〰️🔥🙏☯️

To Feldenkrais, Yoga and Pilates teachers: take a pic of your clients, body, waist, hands, feet, etc. and see what changes over time. Inform your clients to help encourage them to be consistent and keep coming back to you!!!

Patting myself on the back

My biggest takeaway from 2021, was to give myself a physical pat on the back for accomplishing sooo much—though I had multiple obstacles and challenges.

Think patting yourself on the back for your accomplishments is bad? That could be a limiting belief.

If you don’t pat yourself on the back, it’s doubtful that anyone else will.

Patting yourself on the back is NOT arrogant or egotistical! You work hard. You are studious. Resilient. And you’re flexible. Adaptable. Look yourself in the eyes (in a mirror) and SMILE!

My husband has this saying, “He who tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted”! Haha! What do you think of that?

Plan for success

I keep a variety of notes around me, from little sticky notes, to journals, to poster drawings of my spiral method, to notes and research on my laptop and in my iPhone.

“The spiral of energy is akin to layers of an onion. And each layer of that onion, using reductionist thinking, could be sold as truth—as the only part of the onion that exists.”
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

When inspiration comes, I jot it down and sometimes I post these on Facebook or Instagram. The ones that really resonate with me, I put on a shirt, mug, or such:

The Presence of God is EVERYWHERE ❤️🦋🌀〰️
Most people have had God’s unconditional love, conditioned right out of them.

Create success

To create my success, I set my sights on accomplishing the my top 5 goals by believing in myself, my brain and body, and in my voice. My daily practices include:

  • Gratitude Flow (IntegratedSpiral.com)
  • Meditation
  • Singing (to feel good)
  • Moving (to burn cortisol), Qigong / Yoga, Dancing
  • Acupressure
  • Doing Energy work: EFT Tapping, Eden Method, etc.
  • Writing

To elaborate

Dancing adds JOY into each day and helps me burn calories.

My Integrated Spiral™ Gratitude F-L-O-W keeps me grounded and in touch with my ancestors and relations in the Grand Beyond. Yes, We Are All Connected. 💙🦋🌀〰️

Meeting with Clubhouse groups (keeps my mindset UP).

Staying in touch with family and friends keeps me accountable (and strengthens my integrity.

Tracking my steps, weighing in, and measuring my body weekly, helps me stay focused on my health.

Posting something everyday on social media builds my following. I love sharing my perspective on reality in hopes that it uplifts others (and their businesses), though I acknowledge “shadow” too, because I believe in yin and yang, and balance. ☯️

With a little help from my friends

Take It Upon Yourself and strengthen the unseen “fabric” that connects us ALL.

I’ve been thrilled to sit in circle with Patti Stevens. And be a part of her Women’s Soul Journey group on Facebook. I met Patti on a yoga cruise in January of 2020, and had an instant soul Connection with her.

Shout out to Robin Quinn Keehn!

Robin runs her own business called, Quitting Culture and has been one of my cheerleaders throughout 2020 and 2021. She’s super confident and full of integrity! I highly recommend her if you’re just starting out in business.

As well, Marilen Crump runs the Phenomenal Female Business Network and has been running business masterminds groups for women for many years. I’m in a couple of her groups and I have actually partnered with fantastic entrepreneurs via these groups! My tip: When networking online (especially in Facebook groups), simply be your helpful self and you’ll attract your authentic tribe who wants to work with you. ❤️😉

Queen Kimmie Tyson is another one of my cheerleaders who runs a thriving business and podcast with her musical husband, Shawn7. Queen Kimmie got me into Clubhouse and I have made incredible friends with several through sharing unscripted there from the depths of my soul. Connect with me there by searching my name or “Spiral Sister” to join our calls.

I’m telling you, it’s so encouraging and motivating to have a group of fantastic business mentors on your side.

My TOP 5 goals for 2021 were:

  1. Integration of my Spirit and Soul into ALL I am and do DAILY, to help me stay balanced and Connected
  2. Take Joy in running Integrated Spiral (a transformational, small group, self-coaching DE-program)
  3. Close open loops within the week and celebrate to reinforce that habit
  4. Market our music while promoting others (as I have been doing on N1M)
  5. Continue writing (metaphysical novel in progress), created a course on Communing with TREES, blogging, creating t-shirt designs and more, and generating ideas for a Vlog or podcast

Forward progress is continuing.

Many blessings to you in ALL ways. ❤️🦋🌀🎼☯️🙏☮️

Gratitude on my mind

It’s not an official yoga asana (posture), but Gratitude is a part of each posture I perform when I do my Integrated Spiral™ Gratitude F-L-O-W (a combination of movements based on Qigong, Yoga, and Energy Medicine). As well, I am always grateful I can get into and hold the poses of the day in whatever manner I can.

My daily practice reminds me, that whether I’m on or off the mat, I intend to keep my awareness on Gratitude. And actually breathe and live IN Gratitude. Always. In ALL ways.

I’m always grateful for my breath, especially after naturally releasing asthma in 2005 and being able to kick 5 prescription medicines to the curb forever! (Details in my book, Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life!)

I also often consider how grateful I am that my mind and body work in unison. And that my mind is improving with age (though my mom, aunt, and grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease), because I love a challenge (and gleefully learn)!

I care for my heart and other organs by consciously directing healing thoughts to them many times throughout the day. I am a conscious creator! ❤️🦋🌀〰️

Everything Resolves to Gratitude.

I believe we are each enveloped by Omniscience, divine Love. And we can embrace the wisdom of ALL the masters (I have learned from several now who have passed and continue with several like Dr. Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Nick Polizzi, plus the indispensable, Neale Donald Walsch), who are always near. Plus, my ancestors and relatives in the Grand Beyond and my Third Eye, who guide and support me psychically and spiritually every moment of my life. 💙🦋🌀〰️

Natural forces and Mother Gaia sustain my life and the lives of everyone. The least I can do is care for the Earth and be a good steward.

In particular, I am grateful for my continuing yoga practice with the teachings of Cheryl Chaffee. Connect with here: www.bodymindheartyoga.com

Cheryl’s an amazing, energetic and intuitive yoga master I had the pleasure of working with on Cindy Bartz’s yoga cruise (pre-lockdowns—January 2020).

I am filled with limitless GRATITUDE!

If you ever feel that you’ve messed up, it’s okay. Because in the end, Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Yes, it really does. ❤️😉

Namaste. OM

Integration Diet: About Fats

Dialing in on Fats

Continuing dialing in on the Integration Diet: Fats

There are more monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats that exist than what I have listed, but I exclude anything that is known to be heavily genetically modified—GMOs), like Canola oil.

Monounsaturated fatty acids or MUFAs are nutrients a body needs to maintain healthy cells. MUFAs are high in vitamin E, which we are often lacking.

What fats I eat.

MUFA foods I eat include:

  • Almonds, almond butter
  • Avocados, avocado oil
  • Cashews (*except on the Low Mold Diet)
  • Hazelnuts (+limit due to my blood type)
  • Macadamia nuts
  • Olive oil
  • Peanut butter, peanut oil*
  • Pecans
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Safflower oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
  • Sesame seeds, sesame oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
  • Sunflower seeds, sunflower oil+ (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
  • Watermelon seeds

While following a Low Mold Diet, which I have recently learned can reduce symptoms of Chronic Inflammatory Response System (CIRS), I don’t include peanuts or cashews in my diet. It isn’t easy because my favorite protein bar contains cashews. 😞

Polyunsaturated fatty acids or PUFAs include omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, that are considered “essential” nutrients. Our bodies need them (for brain function and cell growth) but can’t produce them. These healthy fats must come from the foods we eat.

Research suggests that consuming PUFAs may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Foods rich in PUFAs include:

  • Albacore tuna
  • Flaxseeds, flax oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all—crush fresh flaxseeds daily for best results)
  • Herring
  • Mackerel
  • Safflower oil (Note: this is a SEED oil, use sparingly if at all)
  • Salmon
  • Soybeans, soybean oil, tofu (Note: lots of issues with Soy, use sparingly if at all)
  • Sunflower seeds, sunflower oil+
  • Trout
  • Walnuts*

FYI for those curious about the Low Mold Diet, refer to Wholistic Matters.

You may have noticed that I left out one of my favorite brain health oils, coconut oil. That’s because my focus is on my omega 6 to omega 3 ratio balance. I still love coconut oil, but it is a saturated fat, so I eat less of it, and use more of it on my head and skin (to nourish my body through my skin)!

Clearing the Static

Clearing the Static

Just like the static most of us saw (after the last broadcast of the day on our television 📺 set), we (in our energy body or aura), can gather static around us that needs to be cleared daily.

Stay with me for a moment.

If you walk across a carpeted room on a cold day and touch metal, you may get a shock. That shock is an example of static electricity.

In the dark

You can’t SEE the static electricity, unless it’s dark and sometimes then, it’s visible. But nevertheless, the static electricity IS there.

And seeds grow in the darkness of the soil, so yes, we “go there” into the darkness inside of ourselves to ground and center. Don’t worry! It is not scary, it is freeing! Know thyself.

An exercise

Rub a balloon over a person’s head of hair and static electricity causes the hair to rise.

No one argues that static electricity exists, though mostly, it’s invisible.

It’s just physics. And physics is a Science that is continually evolving (as are we)!

Energy body

Why then, is it so hard to believe that each of us have an energy body? And that the state of that energy body can impact our health!

We can tune ourselves to resonate with EASE. We can make small adjustments to free our minds of static and confusion to feel less anxious, clear and confident—Connected to ALL.

Movies

Years ago, the movie Poltergeist made the TV screen static seem scary, like it was a portal into a dark and evil place. But I say, we must rise above the “programming”!

An invitation

Would you like to learn some ways to clear the static in your head, and in your life?

Would you like these ways to be things you can quickly stack onto your daily habits? #stackhabits
