Sooo I did a new thing this week. I started adding memes I created to Pixabay! I invite you to check them out and let me know what you think, ask about any of them, or such. I will number them to help make commenting easier.
#1 Breathe
Breathe. You are a Fractal of Omniscience.
#2 How to breathe to calm down your nervous system
#3 Take It Upon Yourself and strengthen the fabric of the Universe that Connects us ALL. We Are All Connected.
#4 If you ever feel you owe God an apology…
#5 When all else fails, Omniscience has your back…
#6 What if we could heal or re-grow (adult) new teeth by humming?
#7 What if GodBumps were the body’s way of telling our mind we have available Energy to heal and restore?
Pixabay limits newbies to seven uploads a week, so stayed tuned here or there to see what gets published there next week! Thank you for playing along!
My commentary: A deep ACIM calendar quote for the day… “This holy instant would I give to you…” and as a friend has commented, it is the same message each day until the end of the year, so I really don’t need to post the image again and again. But alas, here it is.
I’m coming out of the funk I was in yesterday. I know people are busy. My dad used to tell me that every time he called. He would say, you’re “busy, busy, busy.” and you know what? because I was busy, I have many voicemail messages from him so I can always replay and hear his voice. Problem is, I don’t do that very often.
Why?
Because I am still, busy, busy, busy.
But I’m one person. I’d love for many to read this book I’ve poured hours, days, and weeks into. But of the 30 early readers, three actually read any of it. I’m grateful for those three. They know who they are. I would have opened it up to be read for free to many more had I known those thirty wouldn’t have had time. Some of my closest friends were honest from the get-go and told me they didn’t have time.
Now, I’m not saying all this to put guilt upon anyone, but to tell you, you can have hundreds of likes, loves, and comments on your posts and those will convert to ONE sale. It’s happened to me (with the last book). So, I do ALL of this writing, from my heart to those hearts who will listen. I do what I do, for the few.
And FYI, though my dad’s words to me about how busy I always was will haunt me, he evened it up by also always telling me, “love you, love you, love you” at the end of each phone conversation or voicemail. So there’s that.
Omniscience God knows.
And so it is…
Ills are like rain on dirt. Rain washes away dirt so gems can be more easily mined!
Recognizing our individuality and uniqueness, yet all the while like sticky snowflakes, We Are All Connected.
A growing world is merging = EMERGING!
Acknowledging our inner alchemy.
Turning on Reiki Light.
Always turning to balance while Integrating the Spiral.
Choosing to make food and TIME work FOR us.
Thanking ALL for Grace, no matter how things look.
Prayer works!
OM-ing works! OM. AUM.
TRUST is huge!
Asking for help helps too!
Managing our Energy IS self-care.
Not burying head in the sand. (Pay attention to our health!)
Observing and documenting.
Involved but not entangled (with external happenings).
Amplifying and supporting ALL voices in commUNITY.
Accepting and surrendering what we cannot change but not quitting, burying heads in the sand, or laying down.
Freeing and beautifying.
Raising vibrations.
Simplifying complex topics.
Aligning with SOUL to walk a purposeful path.
Each of us has God INSIDE us. Always in ALL ways reMember.
Every. Moment. Gratitude.

Why am I here?
I’m here to challenge you to dig deeper. Honor your past. Honor your ancestors. You are not here by accident. You didn’t pop out of a pod. A woman gave birth to you. And a woman gave birth to her. And so on, and so on. And a man was involved in some way too. The two became one. YOU!
ALL of your ancestors who came before, honor YOU! You stand on their great shoulders. Do you accept the responsibility of their sacrifices? Of their LOVE?
Balance is achievable though not always the point. Remember a wavy line separates the black from the white in the yin and yang symbol. It’s wavy because it’s always Balancing. Flowing. Never done.
Life endures. And continues.
We’re all pink!
Underneath our skin, we are all pink! Our blood is blue until exposed to oxygen and then, it’s red!
We Are ALL Connected. Each of us matter. I will own my choices. ❤️🦋🌀〰️
Speak your truth. Be FREE. Yell FIRE in a theater, IF it’s on freaking FIRE!

Why do we have to own anything or attach for that matter? Why must anything be ours, or BELONG to us? He or she who has the most toys doesn’t win. That’s just a way to keep us moving closer to the proverbial carrot. Finding joy in the journey is ALL you have. As the elusive butterfly teaches us, it is always moving, dancing, fleeting.
I don’t even have to attach to ME! I’m not my name. I’m not my body. I’m nothing in particular in fact, but I Am. I am here. I exist. Why?
There’s another way to define the word, ‘mine’
To walk the path of the shaman, we must dig in the dirt of ourselves and mine our mind. We must break out of our programming and truthfully examine our conditioning.
I’m here to challenge you to dig deeper. Honor your past. Honor your ancestors. You are not here by accident. You didn’t pop out of a pod. A woman gave birth to you. And a woman gave birth to her. And so on, and so on. And a man was involved in some way too. The two became one. YOU!
ALL of your ancestors who came before, honor YOU! You stand on their great shoulders. Do you accept the responsibility of their sacrifices? Of their LOVE?
Know this though, when you dig through one layer, you’ll find another. When you escape or break out of one box, you’ll find another.
Balance isn’t the point though. Remember the wavy line that separates the black from the white in the yin and yang symbol. It’s wavy because it’s always Balancing. Flowing. Never done.
Life endures. And continues.
Creation never ceases
We are each a bright shining fractal of Ever-Living, LIMITLESS Source Energy! Creation never ceases!
When we examine things in terms of degrees, layers, and doses, Truths will emerge. There’s not only one Truth, there are multiple Truths. There are Universal Laws. And the greatest of these is Love. But can all creation love? This is where we spiral back to programming and conditioning.
At my best, when I am aware of my programming and conditioning and desire to rise above it, I am love-and-in my spirit and heart: I love unconditionally–that means without conditions, such as: I don’t care how much money you have or don’t have. I don’t care what ancestry you have, what skin tone, what ailments, what religion-or not, and certainly not what gender or sexual orientation you are-think you are or want to be!
Underneath the outer layer of our skin, we are all pink! Our blood is blue until exposed to oxygen and then, it’s red!
Because We Are ALL Connected. Because I believe each of us matter. I believe each voice matters even if, in the moment, it seems hurtful. I can then choose to make a different choice. And full circle time, I will own my choices. ❤️🦋🌀〰️
I want you to speak your truth. I want you to be FREE. Yell FIRE in a theater, IF it’s on freaking FIRE!

As a Business Analyst, I was always fascinated with “elicitation.” If I didn’t ask a question or didn’t ask it the “right way,” I would miss collecting enough information to help develop a proper solution. (This has been my primary role in Information Technology (IT), for 30+ years).
The more I knew about the software and the issue to solve, the better questions I could ask, and then, fuller answers elicited.
Now, I feel like I’m applying my analytical skills to spiritual work. It feels really good, and somehow ancient! ❤️🦋🌀🎼🙏☯️
Definitions of Holism
If you look up the definitions of Holism, you see it is tied to psychology (because Everything begins with Thought and Consciousness), anthropology, language, and ecology.
There is the belief that “parts of a whole are in intimate interconnection” and that such they cannot exist independent from the whole. The whole considered to be greater than the sum of its parts.
In ecology, Holism says that we interpenetrate and define each other: think the collective mind, societies, cultures, and our environmental footprint on the planet.
How I found Holism
Several years ago, I attended multiple lectures (and Qigong lessons) with Lama Nicholas Packard (see previous articles here and here).
Lama Nicholas spoke about The Dao (Daoism / Taoism) and Holism, before that, I didn’t know much about Daoism (except I had the small book, Tao De Ching, but I hadn’t read it all at that time), and I had not heard of Holism—except I had used holistic health remedies for years. I just had not embraced Holism in a religious sort of context.
Why I care…
The other day a friend sparked a thought in my mind about “why I care about others.” I told her if I didn’t believe We Are All Connected, I may not give a sh*t about others, or their opinions. But I do care. Apparently, it’s how I’m wired. And probably also because I’m an empath. (According to Anita Moorjani, I’m a unicorn 🦄 empath too! But that’s another story).
Omniscience created ALL.
Consider…
No one owns the waters; no one owns the soil
No one owns the oceans; no one owns the air.
Anything you think you OWN is merely an illusion. Better to grow your soul. Be in alignment. That’s where your POWER resides.

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”!

Right from the start, let me tell you that I’ve been gently releasing the excess weight I’d gained during the COVID lockdown, by eating all different kinds of foods and challenging my former thoughts about what foods I should eat. It has really surprised me! And those “surprises” challenged me to analyze what was going on and how I could sustain ongoing weight loss (as I’d been overweight, technically obese), BEFORE the lockdowns.
Food History
I’d lost 20 pounds during 2019 with the help of a modified Keto diet as suggested by my chiropractor, restricting certain foods, and dining out less, (and scrutinizing food ingredients when we did go out). Mostly, I went out to socialize with my husband and not even eat a meal. I had taken a lot of supplements too, to help balance my hormones. But during the summer of 2020, I regained those 20 pounds (mostly due to COVID lockdown depression).
When I say I am not unfamiliar with diets, it’s true. I’ve done so many different diets over the course of twenty years, it’s not funny. It’s actually kinda sad. I didn’t even learn (throughout all of the time I spent on various diets), how to tell when I was hungry—until I was ravenous (belly gurgling with hunger pangs)! I learned the particular diet, but I didn’t align my MIND-BODY, and integrate these aspects and LISTEN to my body and analyze what changes I needed to make in order to experience RESULTS. (I am in alignment, Now.)
So, what I’m about to share may shock you. It has, and continues to shock me!
Food List
Here’s a list of some of the foods I’ve eaten and seen the number on the scale DROP the next morning, foods I wouldn’t have eaten a year ago:
Steak
Barbecue sauce (I found one brand that works for me. Yes, ONE.)
Cheese (I found a couple types that work for me.)
Half and half
Canned soup (I drink an extra cup of water after to help flush out excess salt.)
Rice (rinsed very well before cooking)
Soy sauce (always thought it was a no-no)
Pasta (egg or veggie noodles)
Potatoes (even tater tots, and potato chips! Gasp! Small portion, but yes. Shocking!)
Dark Chocolate (small portion, on a fancy plate)
Margaritas (homemade, no sugary mixer)
Red wine (limited to 8 ounces a night, though depending on my meal, I’ve had more)
Universal Yums (a monthly subscription of snacks from around the world-tiny servings—added this because we’re foodies and love trying new foods from other countries! Since we can’t travel currently, this monthly fun box supports our mental health and Connects us ALL.)
What started it all? I credit a pillar of my weight loss success to the Omada program (that was offered to me by my health insurance program: Florida Blue), because they sent me a free scale that communicates back to their app and diet coach, via blue tooth technology (so, I am held accountable). Accountability is KEY!
I weigh in every morning, nude, and before drinking any water and after going to the restroom. I’ve also integrated this into my morning meditation ritual which includes a brief gratitude ritual (along with some Yoga postures and Energy building Qigong activity) to release any gas in my body, strengthen my immune system, and release stress. And this was the impetus for developing Integrated Spiral!
Tying these activities together has been a huge advance in my ability to stick with the weigh ins and track my journey. In the first three months, I released 15 pounds, but UPDATE: By March 24, 2021 I lost a total of 32 pounds (which included another 17 pounds lost during my time of participating in a 7 week Herbal Detox with KP Khalsa and The Sacred Science)!
I’ve communicated with my coach on the days I gained a pound or so, and worked through the mental hoops and associated feelings. I’ve also incorporated small celebratory actions that do not involve food, as a new way to thank my body for following through on my desire to lose weight.
The Omada program also came with an app, which has helped me focus on the size and health of my meals, rather than the calories of the food (as I’d tracked before in the LoseIt! app). Now, I watch for the trends of how many veggies I’m eating in a week, and what I’ve eaten the day before I see the number go up or down on the scale. It’s a pretty cool bio feedback loop and is definitely working for me.
NOTE: If you’re not in the Omada program, you can still do the weight loss portion of my Integrated Spiral program, because I have found even better blue tooth scales that measure 17 health markers! I’m gonna get one if and when my Omada scale fails. 😉
Supplements
Aside from the liquid supplement that both my husband and I consume daily, when we moved off grid, I pretty much quit taking any other supplements, except Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Magnesium. But when I first stepped on the Omada scale and saw how much I had gained from February to September, I started looking into anything and everything I could take to support my weight loss journey. For the first time in a long time, I felt desperate.
I tried a few supplements and I could tell what didn’t work by how I felt and that I’d gain ounces the day or so after taking them. I think my body is so sensitive, that I gain a bit of weight anytime I introduce something new to it. That’s a theory I am tracking via my food and weight log (which, circles back to why tracking is sooo important)!
There are few supplements (weight loss aids) that have helped me, and I’ll be writing reviews on those products on Being Wholly Vibrant.
I’m not including any supplements in my Integration Diet per se, because I don’t want you to feel that you have to take certain supplements in order to participate in this program. Take It Upon Yourself, as I always say, to do what works best for you. Plus, I’m attempting to keep all product reviews on my other blog. 🧐
Portions and measuring
I’ve found that my 1/2 C measuring cup has become my best friend in the kitchen. I scoop out chili and soup with it, and measure rice and pasta with it too. If I am in doubt, I measure. And I don’t just “trust” my eyes and brain with that “eyeball” method of measuring food, because that has been known to fail me.
The limit I set for myself on these kinds of foods is 1 C at a time. If for some reason I absolutely find that I need or want more, I go back for 1/2 C more. But, in three months, that’s only happened twice.
You gotta serve somebody. Just include yourSelf!
Timing
One trend I’ve noticed is that when I stop eating anything by 6pm, the number on the scale goes down the next morning.
I’m a big fan of intermittent fasting, but for it to work for me, I’ve observed that I need to go to bed on an empty stomach. I’ve tried all the other ways to do intermittent fasting, and no other combination works for me except going to be feeling hunger pangs. (This became less and less the longer I stayed committed to this program.) For me to practice intermittent fasting long term, well, it takes a real commitment and mindset. I’ve haven’t always been successful, but somehow, I feel this time, I will reach my ultimate goal weight.
Another trend I’ve noticed is that if I abstain from night time snacking, I can eat the same snack midday the next day (after lunch), and it doesn’t make the numbers on the scale go up, like it would have done, had I consumed it at 9pm. Weird, but that’s what I’ve observed as true for my body.
Creating the habit
All of this has been about helping me establish good habits that I can maintain for life. I know walking daily, or not, is a choice.
And honestly, the number on the scale has gone down on the morning after I didn’t walk and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I need to rest and allow my body time to repair and reduce the inflammation that came from my walking the day before. I don’t know. I’m continuing to monitor that.
So far, I’ve had the best outcome from tying two or more tasks or practices together. This is why I formed my Integrated Spiral transformational, small group, self-coaching program.
I know in order for me to make the commitment to a healthy, whole, and vibrant body means I must be held accountable. By serving others, I will serve myself. And in Bob Dylan’s famous words, “You gotta serve somebody.”
I know spiritual types that aren’t in touch with their bodies. And I know body conscious types who want to learn more about Spirituality. I think (and feel), I can serve both.

Perhaps “clarity” (which is spoken of a LOT in the coaching world) is overrated.
Coaching: Perhaps clarity is overrated. Shrugging shoulders.
I’m attempting to stay focused.
I have gotten so much done this year (though some may disagree), but really, when I list all the stuff I’ve managed to do, with all the challenges we’ve been faced with (since February), I am honestly—AMAZED!
Honestly, (though there’s really no reason to say the word “honestly” if everything you say is honest) I’m thankful to be here, to be well, safe, and getting stuff done. 🤯😉
Here’s what I’ve accomplished this year, and it’s not over yet!
Software:
Jira
Confluence
Zoom (admin and user)
Salesforce (customizations)
Deltak Costpoint 7
Navigate coaching portal
Navigate new writing portal (Writers Work)
Affinity software
Setup MacBook Pro – then reformatted its hard drive when it took too long to delete folders on it before sending it back
Setup it’s replacement MacBook Air, and it still doesn’t work as easily as it should (unless you have unlimited internet to move files over), I used a USB thumb drive, BUT required additional cable and box for proper ports)!
Early adopter of new social media platforms like:
Telegraph, and Rumble (Been on Vimeo, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others for many years)
Completed a high ticket 12 month business coaching program
Setup and attempted to use Wireless connectivity-Satellite to phone hotspot (Satellite never worked properly to initiate login and handshake to government Gateway to access a virtual machine)
Setup and used Boost mobile MiFi (not enough bandwidth available) and later switched to AT&T MiFi (and have been using it problem free for over 3 months)
Release the 25 pounds of excess COVID weight! (Still ongoing, but down 15 pounds as of now)
I’ll edit my initial words a bit. BIG clarity may be overrated.
Just get clear on something small, bite sized. Then follow through on that. And that’s what we’ll be doing in my new coaching program! 😉
Knowing exactly what the BIG goal is may not be necessary and may cause one to falter or stall (like an airplane that tries to ascend too fast or at too steep of an incline). Just focus on what you can do today and get it done. Eventually the picture unfolds.
At least I am learning to IN Joy the process/journey. ❤️😉
Humorousobservation
We’ve had sooo much going on! Self inflicted challenges! (Hmm maybe that’s what I should have named my new program! LOL But I wanted to name it after my most resonating things, integration and spirals 🌀 for Energy, Newgrange engravings, etc.) 😉🤷🏻♀️

I’d been hearing for awhile about how we can experience energy drain, procrastination, and such by allowing our energies to be split. Or said another way, we can feel drained by focusing our energy in different directions.
Yin and Yang are split energies.
Innovators
Yet, innovators like Anousheh Ansari (first female private astronaut), Elon Musk, and Naveen Jain (who is mining the moon) don’t seem to have any issues with “split energies.”
They are brilliant, forward thinkers, who have a focus on space, with still a foot grounded in reality.
These modern masters (I won’t go as far as to call them spiritual masters) speak about the future as if it is present our day reality! Have they mastered the split energies of yin and yang within themselves? And is that our only work, to keep our yin and yang energies in BALANCE?
Soul’s purpose
If we “buy in” to the spiritual concept that our soul’s purpose here is to learn from and understand our human experience and then gain clarity on its vision, we might consider the visionaries I named, modern day mystics.
As Abraham-Hicks teaches, when our soul gets clear (even for as little as 17 seconds), it shoots out ‘Rockets of Desire’ which manifests tangible results (whether we see or act upon these is a whole other story).
The modern day spiritual or mystic pioneer is manifesting at a level beyond what most of us do, and they seem not to have any split energy issues.
In the end
In the final analysis (from what I’ve learned thus far), everyone has an opinion about everything. And most love to express it. Some want to force others to change and believe as they do. That’s called, Control.
Most of us allow our Ego (a part of our mind), to hold tight to our beliefs (to the extent that we cut ties with relatives who think differently!) Ugh. Gasp! I know. 😢
But we can’t know ALL the answers. And we can’t change anyone except ourself (and that’s hard enough). We can come into Balance though. It is possible. Love and Life can find a way.
After ALL (in the end), Everything Resolves to Gratitude. ❤️🦋🌀🙏☮️☯️🎼
If you’d like to continue this discussion, and focus on bettering your relationships by bringing the many aspects of yourself back into Balance, I am launching a new coaching program. See if it resonates with you: https://sheilamurrey.net/integrated-spiral/
