From an Analytical Empath: Next Steps on the Metaphysical Path

As we continue along the metaphysical path, that takes us from the knotted center of the spiral onwards and adding space as we go, to the outer bands. This becomes the snail’s path too, the longer we’re on this path. Eventually, we look back to see how far we’ve come and observe the spiral! Thus, you glimpse what I’m talking about when I say, “Integrating the Spirals.” Ha!

When we integrate too fast, or begin to jog along the spiral snail’s path… we can hurt ourselves (as I did in January when I went from dancing to two songs–6 to 7 minutes of movement–to three songs! Ten minutes of dancing was simply too much for me! After all, I’d only been dancing daily for six months. What the heck was I thinking?

I am such a heady person. An analyst. A writer. Philosopher. Intellectual. And I sit a LOT! While my heart wants to love, I can still get stuck from time to time. I talk with folks on Zoom often and type every day, and forget to show my SELF care and love, as I might someone else (like my husband (who lives with me), son (who lives far away), and daughter, granddaughters, and son-in-law who all live next door)!

Doctoring

Thankfully, I had a chiropractor near that I could go see and try to get my body back online (and dance again). But for whatever reason, and though he was doing an aWEsOMe job on my neck, back, and such, I found that my shoulder would feel better, but then I’d have lower back sciatica! Ugh! And then I found this issue with a tendon in my foot (or so I’d thought). After a few more chiropractic sessions, I felt like I needed additional help with the foot.

I looked up “naturopaths near me,” because this is how I practice holism. (Smiling. Just kidding. Well, sort of.) and found my new doctor! I say that because I made an appointment and saw Dr. Paterson yesterday. Wow! He totally impressed me as he did quite a bit of myofascial release and positional release on my L5 spinal area, left knee, and left foot! Here’s his info page that describes some of that along with his story: https://centredownehealth.com/dr-brian-paterson/

Mixing it up

Hubby and I have been watching each of the Harry Potter movies on HBO. (No, we don’t subscribe to HBO, but the family does for a few months a year and we get an account through them.) So, I’ve never read the books, nor seen any of these before. So, now, I’m getting to watch all the child actors age a year or more every night as we view a new film. We’re up to about film #6 at this point. Wow! I can see why kids became so enraptured by these stories! How creative and imaginative is J.K. Rowling!?! Amazing!

Yesterday and today I had the JOY of meeting and talking with Gina Virginia Casella. We recorded a podcast conversation yesterday, so I’ll have a link from that to share here with you soon, as well as a gemstone reading (Gina’s own discovery – and you can see more here: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/) to uncover if/where I had any issues going on (and I do!) in, through, or around me.

Using metaphors, Gina offers ideas and then it’s up to me to know or feel how they may apply to my life currently. I’m sure a reading like that might change daily as our lives move on. It’s a bit like receiving a tarot reading.

Oh, and speaking of tarot, in my book club I learned that another participant has written a book, so I ordered it! Laurie Watts-Amato wrote a book to help us read our own tarot cards. It’s on Amazon and is called, Tarot Insights – and here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4vMdYsj

Lastly, for my Christian readers, I watched a couple of dynamite videos that I think you will LOVE!

I’ve followed Russell Brand for YEARS. I used to love his Under the Skin podcast and YouTube channel interviews and comedic take on the news. I know he’s evolved now, and while I questioned at first, why he chose Catholicism when he accepted Christ Jesus, I knew he would eventually let us in on his story and he has. Thus, I bought Russell Brand’s new book (How to become a Christian in 7 Days), on Kindle, and I’m reading a bit of it each night before I fall asleep. It’s been fantastic so far, AND bonus with it, I’m learning some new words! And yes, Russell tells us as we read along what those words mean, which is GREAT! Here are the links: https://youtu.be/ISETUBf6aoo?si=zEoRKY1z61BdGfPs

And someone new to me, Tim Alberino expounds upon a fascinating journey through Bible times and talks about giants here: https://youtu.be/CiQTBOQ1dTg?si=Cqil8CJbBQoZmRGs

I know I’ve given you several links already, but as I only found out this morning and had this post in draft prior, let me add one more. David Wilcock has purportedly taken his own life. While many of us who have watched David for YEARS (mostly on Gaia TV), it’s hard to believe–we know these things can happen to anyone. Circumstances in life, body pain, or foul play can happen anytime, anywhere. I’m sharing this video to honor and respect the sensitive man, the parapsychology teacher, and the astounding researcher David was: https://www.youtube.com/live/VbXvRyKeWp8?si=dOnA8Zv_ijOGaHHb Blessings to David’s friends and family at this sad time.

If you’re still here, I’d ask for prayers and loving vibes to be sent along to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family too.

Integrating the Spirals – JIGGLE WIGGLE

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body.
  • And to question EVERYTHING!

Link to my YouTube channel where you can see the videos: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister


Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Oneironautics: The Shadow Self — Meeting What We Hide in Dreams

Integrate, integrate, integrate

❤️🦋🌀I have been reminded (by my body and my experiences this year), that as I write the words the Universe presents multiple ways to help each of us integrate the concepts represented by the words we write.

Moment by moment, integrate.

An example of this was when I designed my t-shirts, mugs, and more with the words “Minding my Energy” (which, is all about managing our energy), and a few short months later, I was faced with literally managing my own electrical energy, as well as re-energizing my body through diet and exercise!

I’ve been presented (sometimes daily) with quite interesting and challenging ways to actually manage my energy! And then, it IS my choice (and has been), to laugh WITH the Universe, or struggle. ❤️🤣😘

We are always tuning

Integrating mind and body involves getting your thoughts, intentions, priorities, physical activity, and reactions to external factors—ALL in BALANCE.

Yin yang observations and why we seek Balance.

We achieve and live in a state of whole health, as we embody balance. Our work, if there is any, is to always tune in to balance. ☯️

Spirit & Soul

Many books have been written about integrating our Spirit and Soul, and practices eons old such as Qigong and Yoga exist to guide us in integrating our breath (and Spirit) with our physical bodies.

My philosophy is this: breathing incorporates and integrates Spirit to Soul (think oxygenation of the blood).

All we need to do is, DO the daily, consistent practice. Lather, rinse, repeat. Ah, the spiral of tension and release. Action and rest. Charge and restore. ❤️😉

If you need help with the consistency part, there are many groups and coaches available—there are even apps! Learn, do, and stay accountable. (I offer a free Messenger “Move your body” group. Write a comment below or find me on Facebook to be added.

NOTE: Let me know if you comment, if you want me to keep your comment hidden, so others won’t see it.)

Body – My diet

I have been participating in a weight loss program sponsored by my health insurance company (Omada), for 15 weeks. More about that soon in another post.

It involves tracking and monitoring key health metrics daily—including weighing in.

Watching the number on that scale each morning has been both a blessing and a curse. It’s biofeedback and psychology working at its best, whether I like it or not. Ha!

I am now, using the challenges I face (like gaining those couple of pounds last week), to push myself to learn more.

I watched (and later connected with) a menopause doctor, learned some more acupressure points (that really seemed to help last night!), and started my Activ5 workouts while watching DVDs, that I think are going to be real game changers for me!

I feel, mind, body, and soul that I am on a healthy path, now, to release the excess weight on my middle aged body. I am so excited! In fact, I actually released 1 pound and 1 ounce, overnight! (I have let go of 10 pounds in 15 weeks, and this includes days of losing, gaining, and plateau weeks.)

Body – Living environment

Most of my followers know that my husband (who is 11.5 years older than me), moved to an off grid living arrangement at the end of February. And then COVID hit. We didn’t have any time to adjust to our new address, until we were on lockdown (especially him, because he’s over 65).

I haven’t written much about the changes (yes, challenges), we faced because I do my best to stay focused on the positive I desire, silver linings, and all of that. Suffice to say, every single day we were “managing our energy,” personal energy, electric from the sun/generator (we had two generators die, and a tropical storm hide the sun from our solar panels, etc.), and consider every single use of energy consumption (right down to learning how to live without hot water, and store only so much in a dorm sized fridge)! Off grid living is NOT for the faint of heart.

We’ve figured most of it out now, some 9 months later, but we are still integrating the thoughts and new mental exercises to live this lifestyle in gratitude.

Body – Writing it out

Words are a kind of tuning instrument for me.

You see, everything is energy. And life exists (manifests) along a spectrum of energy.

A body is just a dense collection of energy at one point on the spectrum (and why it is visible), and it reverberates with and emits emotional energy (invisible) according to what is near it. It’s reactionary!

Think of a guitar string. If the guitar string is not plucked, there is no reaction. Thus, there is no sound. When plucked, the string makes sounds in alignment with it’s tuning—high or low.

You are like the guitar string that has the ability in every moment to choose how you are tuned, and whether you will respond to the plucking!

Choosing how to respond to the plucking, takes mental energy. And mental energy is far less dense and changes moment by moment, faster than the speed of light! So, why does it seem to weigh us down? (Stress seems to occur when we “carry” the “weight of the world” around on our shoulders (yet, it’s mere thoughts in our heads)!

An example of writing it out as I prepare for a talk

In closing

I believe the more we search for answers and try a variety of holistic methods, the more deep and integrated our healing. And the healthier overall, we become.
(I wrote a book a couple years ago about how I reversed “lifelong” asthma.)

My hope is that you ALL will come to this deep and profound awareness of how much the Universe desires to integrate with you too!

As I prepare a course on integrating where we joyfully learn and practice ways to embody our light, or lighten our bodies, and ride the energy spiral to balance, (ah, don’t you LOVE the journey of a work in progress?), I’ll give you a peek… let me know if this resonates with you:

Potential new course topics. Organizing my thoughts and teachings. ❤️😉

Comment below. Let me know your glorious thoughts and if you might be interested in taking my course (or sitting in a virtual circle with me)!

Much love and many blessings! ❤️🦋🌀
