My 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers is now available for preorder (the eBook / Kindle version) with the publish date of March 18th, 2026 for the 600+ page paperback. I’m sooo excited!!!
Screen capture of the front cover of my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. (My name, Sheila Murrey, is on the bottom of the cover and spine. I couldn’t capture the whole cover in the screen capture.)
The book is large in scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!
And yes, today, March 8th is the anniversary of the day of my daddy’s soul departure–see my previous post regarding that: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/04/19/a-surreal-vision-of-soul-departing/ I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since my dad passed away. But he was the first thought I had this morning, and nearly jumped up to check what the date was today!

I asked about twenty friends if they recommended a trusted source for someone to work with me on getting any future paperback books into Kindle Create / KDP for Amazon publishing, but only one actually knew a person, one knew someone who had recently published but that person was unavailable to answer yet as they are on a cruise, and another suggested a publisher. When I told her I wasn’t looking for a publisher, they suggested a new software tool, which I think is going to be like Scrivener.
I already use Scrivener and think it could have probably did more for me to improve the formatting of my manuscript, but I am not an expert in it. Thus, I’m not going to try another new piece of software before becoming expert in Scrivener. And by the time I become an expert in that, I will either start charing money to teach others how to use it, or I will start churning out more books myself! Ha!
Again, the paperback book publishing date is: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it (though I am not sure if the eBook purchases count towards bestseller status, but it sure helps me financially), or set a reminder for yourself to order the paperback on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon.
I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.
p.s. I just got Richard to dance with me and put a couple different videos of that on YouTube at the link below. One is a full view of his music room and the other is a “short” that I had to record from off my laptop, because I couldn’t create a short from the full view video. One has to create and upload a “short” from their phone. Go figure! Limited technology.
Integrating the Spirals
I’m encouraging those “over 60” to observe and gently question their thought patterns, pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’ to ease grief and suffering, and gain new perspectives–that’s why I teach Integrating the Spirals. AND I also encourage all of us to move our bodies more consistently (most of us are stuck in our heads and physically unhealthy because of it). We can do better! We can become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body. And it’s healthy to expand our consciousness and question EVERYTHING! Just observe, don’t absorb.
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 sprinkled throughout.)

I’m excited to tell you that I’m currently wrapping up the final touches on the formatting for Kindle Direct Publishing to launch this much anticipated 5th book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. An analytical mind searches for answers. I have been working nearly night and day the last several months to birth this incredible book and believe me, I’m beat! (I don’t think I have another book in me at this point!)
Meme: I created this in Canva. I actually do have a Visual Communications / Digital Design degree, from back in 2004. But though I have paid for Canva in the past, I didn’t want to pay them again and continue to have issues with the cover, so I hired a book cover designer on Fiverr. I’ll focus on making fun memes like this in Canva for free in support of launching the new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why, on March 18th, 2026!
If it doesn’t work yet, it will in a few days. I’m still making final page edits (to ensure new chapters start on the right hand side page, and that the headers and footers that KDP adds, will be removed, because I already have page numbers and book title on the manuscript that match the Table of Contents. Ugh! It’s such a process!
I’ve really been doing a juggling act (and I’m also learning juggling right now too, in another Zoom group I’m in), because I’ve also been on social media a bit more every day to market the book… here’s a few of my posts:
It’s a big scope. 600+ pages! Book launch date: MARCH 18th, 2026 –> It’s Sheela na gig day! And the day my dad and I were going to meetup, but dad passed ten days prior. So this is… launching my 5th book on THAT DATE is a huge wink to my daddy on the Other Side!

If I ever write another book, I will pay someone to do the KDP part. The older I get the less techie I want to be, though I did have to fix a book cover error that my Fiverr book cover designer couldn’t figure out today (and it didn’t help that KDP didn’t provide a REASON for the error, when it wouldn’t upload.) Ugh!
Screen capture: View of the book cover error in KDP. I still have no idea what was wrong with it.
But here you can see my comment to the Fiverr designer of what I did to fix the error and get the book cover file to upload successfully into KDP:

Another dilemma I have is that I wanted to print the paperback in color, that is, with a color interior so all of the images in the book will be in color. None of my other books had color interiors, and I really wanted that for this book. But it’s 630 pages in a 7×10 size. KDP will only print in color for books under 600 pages.
I will offer a Kindle version of the book (EPUB), and all of the images will be in color, so at least everyone will have that option. Plus, the ebook will be less expensive. I love ebooks to save trees! And searching through books for various things is sooo much easier too. Hehe!
Again, the book launch date as: March 18th, 2026! Just days away!!! So, if you are going to order the book, please either preorder it or buy it on March 18th, so I have a better shot at getting a bestseller ranking on Amazon. I’d sure appreciate it! Here’s the link to order from Amazon.

One might define spirituality as consciousness and vice versa. Why? Well, the Daoists claim that the dot of creation, the dot within the void, was spirit. If we follow that train of thought, that’s perhaps one reason these two terms are interchangeable. But others frameworks suggest that consciousness and spirituality are related but not interchangeable: consciousness refers to awareness or sentience, while spirituality refers to how that awareness orients toward meaning value, and “something more” than the merely material.
“The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.”
“We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.” ― Tenzin Gvatso, 14th Dalai Lama
It seems obvious to me that the people of the world are not all operating from the same level of consciousness. Let me offer this concept, first written about by Jane Roberts, and later, I’ll fill in the details in the chapter, Afterlife.
Simply understood, the territories of consciousness can be thought of as multidimensional and layered, encompassing both the known waking awareness and deeper, vaster realities that underlie physical experience. At the simplest level, consciousness was seen as composed of basic “units of consciousness” (or CU’s), which form the building blocks of all physical matter, perception, and even the fabric of space itself. These units are inherently creative, self-aware, and interrelated, meaning every aspect of reality—from matter to thought—arises from conscious interaction and intent.
Jane Roberts also outlined “inner senses,” faculties of consciousness beyond ordinary physical perception. These inner senses allow individuals to access deeper subjective experience, intuitive knowing, direct empathy, and an expanded understanding of time and reality. The territories of consciousness described by Roberts span:
• Everyday waking awareness
• Dreaming and altered states
• Deeper subjective realms accessible through inner senses
• Larger fields of nonphysical, creative consciousness that interact to shape both personal and collective reality
Simply put, the territories of consciousness for Jane Roberts (and the entity she channeled, Seth) begin at ordinary thought and sensation but extend into far-reaching, multidimensional realms where physical and nonphysical realities meet and co-create.
Resource: The Seth material by Jane Roberts.
Speaking of altered states of consciousness, this supports parts of recorded conversations and lectures I’ve listened to of Terence McKenna. He was the ethnobotanist who said we could all have a deeper relationship with the divine via experimenting with substances such as ayahuasca, marijuana, and psilocybin from mushrooms. For more regarding this, circle back to the chapter, Botany. Now, I wonder what Jane Roberts was ingesting to wake up her inner senses or tap into some faculties beyond the everyday consciousness.
The rest of this chapter focuses on spiraling on the spiritual, interconnectedness across traditions, how mystical traditions merge, The Holy Bible, proving Bible authorship, The Tao Te Ching, The Book of Mormon, Lesson from the Maya, comparing the numerics, about scholars and rigor, spiritual deepening, oneness, and fractals of Omniscience.
Spiraling on the Spiritual
What lies beyond our human body could be considered spiritual. Think of spirituality as everything we are that is outside of our consciousness, mind, and body. Spirituality is the study of our soul and spirit. I often muse on the words, inspire, spirit, spiral, and spire (of a church). And then I meditate on the spiral of a snail’s shell, a seashell, ocean waves, and ferns.
Revisiting the Spiritual Layer of Consciousness
As presented much earlier in this book, I love to follow the work and observations of thinkers such as Viktor Schauberger and Terence McKenna. I find the simplicity of the spiral pattern in nature to be one of the most relaxing and consciousness expanding visual cues we have.
The way I see it, spirituality beautifully weaves together breath, being, and the spiral patterns of nature; etymology and symbolism support something that I simply intuit. Spirituality can be seen as the exploration of everything we are beyond the surface layer of body, thoughts, and everyday consciousness, while remaining deeply patterned by the same living sacred geometries that shape seashells and galaxies. And the saints of old must have agreed as I’ve found spirals at sacred sites dating back thousands of years.

Mapping Interconnectedness
As presented in the chapter, Layers of Consciousness, any map we might draw to illustrate our interconnectedness with the surrounding infinite field would need to include all of the layers — not simply circular or spiral rings, but it would need to include the space in which they exist. Not an easy task. It might be akin to drawing a rainbow to include the seeming invisible boundaries between each color.
Interconnectedness in and around Physics (universal consciousness and divine essence), that encompasses the Spiritual (universal consciousness and divine essence), that imbues the Biological (anything that breathes, uses vibration, frequency, or language to communicate), and thrives on Social (interacts via language models, cultures)
A drawing representing interconnectedness could be structured as a nested, multi-layered diagram or a network of flowing connections, using visual metaphors to link the concepts. The core idea is that everything is fundamentally linked, from the universal scale to the social. My mind tends to better grasp large complex subjects when I can draw them out on a piece of paper. However, I’m not a trained illustrator or artist, so I’ve asked AI to help me with this task.
If one could simply map out a drawing of Interconnectedness, visualized by using structural elements it might look a bit like this:
Taking it a step further, our diagram could be represented by a unified field or a cosmic web/tree of life design that permeates all other elements.
Layers, Levels, Doses, and Degrees of Universal Existence
In the last several years of exploring what it really means that We Are All Connected, a simple framework has kept returning to me: life unfolds in layers, levels, doses, and degrees. Often, we can understand the vastness of the macro by looking closely at the micro and then applying those patterns from one scale to another. It is not perfect in every circumstance, but it comes surprisingly close.
When I picture universal existence, I see an outermost layer like a vast, swirling galaxy or quantum field, with subtler layers nested inside—physics, biology, society, and spirit all interacting. In that imagined map, every part affects the others. Nothing can be removed without changing the whole, which is a beautiful visual reminder that nothing and no one truly exists in isolation.
The Spiritual Layer would be interwoven with physics, represented by glowing light, a central “divine essence” or “universal consciousness” symbol (e.g., a bright, radiating light source or a sacred geometry pattern). This suggests that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality, as some theories propose.
The Biological Layer would display a the universal container, focused on life on Earth. Use green, earthy tones, and organic shapes (cells, DNA strands, natural landscapes). Highlight living organisms that “breathe” with small illustrations of animals and plants. Incorporate subtle icons representing vibration, frequency, and language (sound waves, brain synapses). This demonstrates how biological systems process information and connect through various means.
The Social Layer — to represent the inner, dynamic layers that interact with the biological and spiritual layers, using more defined human figures, networks, and communication lines. Colors can be diverse to represent different cultures. This layer would show interaction points and a flow of information between individuals. We want to represent the various languages of the main cultures with flowing lines of text illustrating how shared narratives and information processing shape social power and interaction.
While it may seem impossible to show the relationships between the layers with gradient color transitions this might be the closest AI could get to it in a 2D model. I submit that our planet, Mother Earth, Gaia, is the 5D representation of such a model where each of us can live as individuals, yet connect with other humans, plants, animals, and minerals in such a way as to learn, grow, and understand via feedback loops and come to a knowledge of our universe. Our senses only allow us to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch a portion of our environment, but every particle, thought, and social interaction, depending upon how and when it is observed can give us a clue as to the unbroken, undivided web of reality.
Any drawing of this nature should present a unified, organic whole, where no single part can be removed without affecting the entire structure, visually emphasizing that “everything in existence is fundamentally linked, with nothing existing in isolation.” And that would be quite the tall order for any illustrator or artist in my humble opinion.
We’ll revisit the spirals in the last section, Spiral Ascension Path, at the end of the Afterlife chapter.
Interconnectedness Across Traditions
Growing up in an interfaith family—Latter-day Saints on one side and non-church going Methodist on the other—and watching my own family branch into new traditions (my eldest granddaughter is a quarter Jewish), has required a different kind of spiritual flexibility. Daily life has meant sitting at the same table with people who hold strong, sometimes conflicting beliefs, and still choosing to love each other.
Eventually, I came to understand that every tradition arises from a particular worldview. Whether or not I resonate with an entire system, I can still notice which teachings genuinely nourish my spirit and soul, and which do not. And I can also choose, at times, to step outside all systems and simply rest in direct experience. Perhaps it is enough, to allow that there may be truth in the saying, “Every person is connected to all others in God’s plan.”
Perhaps it’s enough to allow for the possibility of truth in the saying, “Every person is connected to all others in God’s plan.”
Theme of Interconnectedness and Unity
When we begin to read across the world’s sacred texts, one theme rises again and again: interconnectedness. The language changes, the symbols differ, but the underlying message is remarkably consistent—that all life, existence, and spirit are woven into one living whole.
In the Bible, for example, Paul’s image of many members forming “one body” points to a unity in diversity, where each person is a vital part of a greater living presence. The Tao Te Ching speaks of the Tao flowing everywhere, giving rise to all things without claiming ownership. Buddhist teachings describe dependent origination and Indra’s Net, where every jewel reflects every other, mirroring the truth that nothing exists in isolation.
The Bhagavad Gita affirms that seeing the same divine presence in all beings dissolves the illusion of separateness. The Quran speaks of a single soul from which many men and women arise, grounding human diversity in a shared origin. Indigenous and shamanic traditions remind us that harming one part of creation affects the whole spiritual ecology. Even the Golden Rule, found in multiple faiths, offers a practical expression of this unity: what we do to others, we ultimately do to ourselves.
1. The Bible (Christian and Jewish Scriptures)
The Judeo-Christian texts emphasize unity within diversity and humanity’s connection to creation through the divine spirit.
“So we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.” — Romans 12:5 This verse presents the Church—and humanity—as an organic whole, each person a vital part of a single living body.
“There is no longer Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.” — Galatians 3:28 This passage abolishes separation, affirming an underlying unity beyond social differences.
The Hebrew concept of shalom originally referred to a cosmic harmony linking humans, creation, and God—a peace born of right relationship. Biblical prophets like Hosea and Jeremiah warned that human injustice disturbs this natural interdependence. I offer a chapter in this book on The Holy Bible to dive deeper into the scriptures.
2. The Tao Te Ching (Taoism)
The Tao reveals the self-organizing wholeness of the cosmos:
“The great Tao flows everywhere. All things are born from it, yet it does not create them.” Lao Tzu’s vision sees multiplicity as variations of one eternal current—each part distinct yet inseparably linked.
Taoism/Daoism promotes the idea of living in harmony with the Tao/Dao (the Way) and the flow of all life. I offer a chapter in this book on The Tao Te Ching to take this a bit deeper.
3. The Dhammapada (Buddhism)
Buddhist texts teach dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda)—that all phenomena arise in relation to others.
“All things are interdependent. When this is, that is.” — Buddha, Dhammapada 1:5 This principle acts as a law of cosmic causality: compassion and suffering are shared because nothing exists in isolation.
Mahayana Buddhism philosophy extends this idea through Indra’s Net—an infinite web where every jewel reflects every other, symbolizing perfect mutual containment and universal awareness. This philosophy offers that our minds create the illusion of life and death. This idea is presented in the book, The Tibetan Book of the Dead.
4. The Bhagavad Gita (Hinduism)
The Gita describes interconnectedness as divine immanence—the presence of God in all beings.
“Established in oneness with me, one who beholds me as present in all beings, that yogi resides within me, in all circumstances.” — Bhagavad Gita 6:31 This verse expresses the core of Vedantic philosophy: seeing the same divinity (Atman/Brahman) in all things erases the illusion of separateness.
The wider Hindu corpus (Upanishads, Rig Veda) proclaims the oneness of existence, encapsulated in the formula Tat Tvam Asi (“Thou art That”), linking individual self and cosmic self as one reality.
5. The Qur’an (Islam)
Islamic scriptures describe all of creation as signs (āyāt) of divine unity.
“He created you from a single soul, and from it made its mate, and from the two spread many men and women.” — Qur’an 4:1 This founding unity of life roots human diversity in shared origin and spiritual equality.
“To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth; and all things return to Him.” — Qur’an 42:53 Interconnectedness here flows from tawhid, the indivisible oneness of God reflected throughout creation.
6. Indigenous and Shamanic Texts
Many shamanic and animist traditions, particularly those preserved in oral or early written records, emphasize life’s reciprocity.
In traditional Native American and Siberian shamanism, the Earth, animals, and ancestors belong to one living continuum. Sacred texts and rituals in these systems affirm that harming one part of creation affects the entire spiritual ecology.
Many times humans feel the need, albeit carefully and with good intention, to thin the herd, prune the tree or plant, or amend the soil. But nature can perform these tasks on its own without human intervention. Sometimes when we watch a thunderstorm take out a tree or set fire to a forest, observe one animal kill another for food, or a baby bird fall from its nest, we can appreciate the concept, though it isn’t always easy to watch the circle of life on this planet.
7. Interfaith Teachings
Modern comparative theology highlights parallels across faiths:
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” — found in Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The “Golden Rule” stands as a universal expression of ethical interconnectedness—every action toward another is action toward oneself.
Across traditions—from the Vedas to the Qur’an, the Torah to the Tao—the sacred view of existence is relational rather than isolated. Interconnectedness is not only a moral concept but a description of reality itself: each being is a ripple in a vast divine continuum, a reflection of the same sacred whole.
End of the first three segments of this chapter. The chapter has fourteen segments. The book is just over 600 pages. Let me know if you are interested in receiving a link to purchase it. I’m setting the book launch date as: March 18th, 2026! It will be available on Amazon.
Integrating the Spirals
I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!
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.)

I feel like I’ve written this before (and I have, but in a different way), but after submitting the following ‘meat’ to a fellow blogger here on WordPress, I felt compelled to offer additional details.
I visited Washington D.C. many times, over two decades ago. The National Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, the Lincoln Memorial, and the National Portrait Gallery were favorites. The Vietnam War Memorial and Arlington Cemetery too. There is so much history to immerse one’s Self in there. While I find it amusing now to see that the very leaders who spout ‘climate change’ are the one’s trying to get us all blown up in WWIII and doing weather modification stuff, I came away from D.C. more agitated than some. I went as a Christian and after visiting Ireland, England, and Scotland sacred sites in 2019, became Daoist, Buddhist, and near Pagan. Ha! We ALL need to open and revere the Life on this planet that gave rise to our lives. We need to embrace our history, and learn how precious life is, albeit small and fleeting. What a gift it is for us to breathe!
I thought I might write a brief list, as a sort of culmination of the high points as to what has informed my Spirituality. Maybe this will help my readers understand me better. Maybe not. But at least I will have written it down. Smiling.
What has informed my Spirituality
I experienced controversy within the church I was raised in. I was raised ‘Christian’ in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the original ‘Mormon’ church, yes, the church Joseph Smith, Jr. founded in Fayette, NY in 1830. Joseph Smith Jr. was murdered when he was 38 years of age and his son, Joseph Smith III took over as president of the church. In the years before I left the church, it changed several basic tenants of the faith, as well as their name (to The Community of Christ).
My maternal grandmother was a Native American healer (though she would not have called herself that, but she could ‘take the fire out’ of burns, and performed this healing many times on my mother and me. My uncle has this gift as well;
Experienced healing of colitis (at a young age) via Laying on of Hands from the elders of our church (I had been to the hospital and experience trauma during the exam, so my mom called on the elders of our church to come to our home and ‘administer’ to me–that is what it is called.)
Baptized in the RLDS church at 8 years of age. The age of accountability, as we were taught. I wanted to take communion with my mom, grandmother, and aunts, and uncle. (My dad was a non-practicing Methodist and rarely ever attended the RLDS services with mom, me, and the majority of my mother’s family).
Questioning many things involving ‘the church’ and though I have an uncle in the priesthood, I still do not have answers to my questions–at most, I have received some theories;
Experiencing the direct power of God when my daughter was less than one-year old, after a Christmas church service with my mom. This occurred when a man hit my mom’s car while we were sitting in a 7-11 parking lot (it’s a story of its own);
Attending various other Christian churches that touched my spirit, such as Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Interdenominational, Unity, and Non-denominational either by attending with friends (such as singing in Baptist churches as a teenager with my best friend, Doris), and attending Catholic Churches (my two ex-husbands were Catholic).
Leaving my church, yet honoring my maternal grandparents (their ancestors, my mother, and many other family members), who either physically built, or gave thousands of dollars over the course of their lives to building, RLDS churches and a temple in Independence, Missouri.
Baptized (again) in the ocean (in my late twenties) before marrying my second (ex) husband. Yes, we had pre-marital counseling with the pastor too, and the ex converted to the Interdenominational church from Catholicism prior to the pastor agreeing to marrying us. And what a disaster (sham) that turned out to be–the church and the marriage.
Experienced returning to the RLDS church (within a small home church study group) where I could teach about the Book of Mormon syntax (a Hebraisms writing style called, Chiasmus, where the first and third passages convey a similar meaning, and the second and fourth verses convey the same, with a turning point in the middle of these (or main idea).
Catching myself arguing with many Christians over dogma and Biblical teachings over the years. And listening to my mom discuss, and also argue particular points. I will have no part in religious arguments anymore;
Attended several 12-step programs with the second (ex) husband;
Attended my first Unity church and hearing the words, Mother Father God;
Realizing there was so much more to God, Holy Spirit, and all things spiritual, in my early thirties after concluding God was not going to change my second (ex) husband and save our marriage. I had prayed for the first (ex) husband too, to no avail. Eventually, realizing the person has to want to be saved and change;
Meeting and marrying the love-of-my-life, Richard. It’s incredible how many things had to occur in each of our lives for us to meet and appreciate each other. Richard would educate me more than any other, except for maybe my mom, about the Bible (with its so many translations), world history, origin of many cultures and religions–and he’s not a fan of Joseph Smith Jr. or the LDS faith.
Experiencing GodBumps while working at the Kennedy Space Center while talking with a Christian coworker;
Fasting, and severely restricting certain foods, such as limiting myself by following highly structured diets like the Essene diet, Sacred Science detox, the raw vegan diet, and WildFit
Reading (and intensely studying various spiritual materials and testing their reliability within my daily life, such as Christ in You by Anonymous, Soul Explorer by Patricia McGivern, Theosophy books, and audio recordings and books by Abraham-Hicks);
Learning to meditate from different groups, Buddhists and Daoists;
Practicing Mindfulness (not the same as meditation)
Learning to practice Yoga and Qigong, from different masters to cultivate and control the mind and body using breath work
Experiencing hypnosis and past-life regression sessions;
Visiting and Connecting with the Energies of Knowth and Newgrange in Ireland in 2019 (two separate visits, first in July and second in December during Winter Solstice), happening upon a deer family as I walked the Wicklow Way at Glendalough, Ireland, and being stung by the stinging nettle at St. Kevin’s Well on the hotel grounds there also. I felt a shift in me while sitting in meditation inside the stone circle of Stonehenge in England, and also when I touched and hugged the ancient Yew tree behind Rosslyn Castle in Scotland. I explain these events in more detail in the previous posts [links forthcoming at the end].
Sun gazing
I continue to receive divine revelation (and healings) during times of seated meditation, hypnosis and past-life regression sessions (individual and groups), and during massage therapy and acupuncture sessions. I continue to receive messages via words ‘dropping into my mind’ during meditation, and during night time dreams and visions (which I wrote about in the book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection).
Let me know if I can help you. If you are ready to receive spiritual guidance or advice from ALL I’ve learned and absorbed. Note: I am integrating and practicing my Spirituality daily–I am NOT ‘Perfect’ nor do I believe anyone is perfect.
Case in point, the very insightful and useful post I just shared/reblogged before this. It’s opened my eyes to the reason I highlight Interconnectedness in all of my writing! Not just because I connect the dots, spotting patterns and trends, but because I have a deep desire to understand and be understood! Aha! Profound! And in all things, humility is paramount. OM
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!
