Integrating the Spirals: Prerequisites

Introducing a DE-Program course I developed in 2020 and am offering again now, Integrating the Spirals™. This post goes into the prerequisites for the course; the things one needs to do first before joining. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.

First things first

What you need to know before we begin the DE-Program Integrating the Spirals.

Prerequisites

Make a list of anything you want to work on: incorporating more movement into each day, following through on your To Do lists, getting out of overwhelm, stop procrastinating, break habits, set goals, write a book, organize your closet, move, downsize, live off-grid, rid yourself of anxious thoughts, sleep better, feel less lonely, and so on.
Pull all of your previously purchased books, programs, current recurring subscriptions, and favorite authors (list them), favorite speakers (spiritual/motivational/philosophical)
Make a commitment to this process and set everything else aside (put current courses on hold if at all possible). We will be working on prioritizing our projects and commitments in this DE-Program so a clean slate is advised (at least for the first two weeks)

Our goals

Move out of fear and struggle
Ease angst and the need to Control the actions of others
Honoring our selves (what we really want)
Honoring our ancestors (lineage, homeland)
Listen to ourselves (to find understanding, self compassion, and healing)
Listen to others intently with presence to learn how you can serve them
Drop self criticism and blame (and offer that gift to others as they are open to receive)
Organize our own thoughts and priorities to sleep better at night and accomplish more each day
Release overwhelm and unworthiness
Bloom where we are planted or move to where we are celebrated (Be the Change)
Nurture yourself and Nature (Plant a tree or something, walk barefoot)
Ease apathy
Live in Gratitude

About the Integrating the Spirals meetings

Let’s do these Integrating the Spirals Zoom calls on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm Eastern time zone (New York USA time) and see how it goes. If you want to join, let me know. I am offering these calls for free and if anyone wants to tip that will graciously be accepted via: PayPal.Me/SheilaMurrey but no more than is comfortable for you, recognizing we are all in a different place financially.

Connecting

Working the Integrating the Spiral DE-Program, lifts us out of negative self-talk, breaks us of some of the triggers that get us riled up, brings in more calm and ease, and connects us with others of like-mind.

Connecting with our ancestors, will improve the relationships that we have because we’re gonna get a lot more peace and understanding and gratitude in us for our ancestors. We wouldn’t be here without them. This will also help you feel totally supported. You’re never alone because your ancestors are always there always in your blood. So in a sense, they’re always around you even if you don’t or can’t or won’t see them spiritually yet.

The universe always has your back because you live in it. You’re part of it. You’re a layer of the onion within the onion.

Omniscience God, God Omniscience

You’re a fractal of Omniscience because you’re always a part of something bigger. You are not separate from it. Your Connectedness to yourself and All-There-Is Omniscience is Holism. We use the directions. We use the elements. We will use what we have and learn how to integrate it INTO our daily lives.

This isn’t a course it’s going to try to sell you other stuff.

You’re going to walk away with epiphanies each time. One recent attendee said, “this course opened something inside of me.”

This DE-Program course is a combination of counseling, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), body movement, breathwork, meditation, and process management. One could say it’s a holistic, 360 degree full circle time management course. Or a holistic organizational behavior course. One could call it different things because it is more about opening you to YOU than other programs that, well, PROGRAM you!

Integrating the Spirals: Integrating Nature

Imagine this:

You are a seed planted in the dark earth. Little by little things around you begin to inform you. Everything you hear, smell, taste, touch, and see. Yes, as a seed you have physical senses!

You grow and expand day by day until you eventually burst up and out through the dirt into the light!

Every time you got fertilized (shit on), it served you. Every one of these things stimulated your becoming, your growth. These triggers could have pissed you off or make you mad. And without understanding the cause of those events, you grew up but without a clue as to how or why. You only knew you did. And that you exist.

You knew up was warm and bright. You knew down was dark and cold. You knew nothing else. But still you grew.

You are still growing as you read this, and here’s the key. We all are still growing. And everyone grows at differing rates of speed.

Did you appreciate the dirt? In the winter the seed experiences the opposite. Up is cold and bright. Down is dark and warm!

Can you take a 360 degree view of your life NOW from that perspective and allow your observations to expand your consciousness a bit?

That’s what this course does. It opens you for expansion. Are you ready?

Much love and many blessings.

Layers, levels, degrees, and doses

We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency level—I am culpable. Each of us are a layer within the onion, not the whole onion. We are a fractal of Omniscience–and Omniscience knows ALL.

Living Wholly Vibrant and Cellular Rejuvenation

Living Wholly Vibrant and Cellular Rejuvenation: Soulful, Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Emotional

Often we carry around the weight of the world on our shoulders. We actually feel our thoughts have weight! Negative emotions seem to hinder us; anger, fear, grief, guilt, jealousy, resentment, shame, and more can distort the way we present ourselves to the world. Our real self, the glorious bright and shining version of our truest self, would never want to live in any of the various states of negative emotion for too long (that’s why BEing sick gives us a chance to rest and restore)!

The cellular communication of our cells equates to their quality. When we belittle, criticize, judge, or otherwise harm another, it distorts us. Oh, ye of little faith (and ignorance). Thoughts are things! What you do now, not only impacts your now, but your future (and perhaps on your past–another mystery of the interconnect life)! Let’s rejuvenate our mind-body so as to all our soul and spirit the opportunity to clear and balance our emotions, and ultimately train our minds (make our mind serviceable) so we can live our best lives, indeed to live a Wholly Vibrant Life!

Living Wholly Vibrant and Cellular Rejuvenation

Soulful:

When we are Connected fully, living our purpose and in soul-alignment, we feel it! We are as a drop of ocean water (self) is to the greater ocean (our unbounded soul). And in our drop of sea water, we contain all of the same stuff–we just don’t always know who we are or that one day we will make our way back into the surf of our soul, to bring back all of the experience and knowledge we’ve come here to embody. Be as water. Go with the F-L-O-W.

Spiritual:

We are spiritual BEings living an earthly experience. We live and breathe Spirit! When we stay Connected to Omniscience, to the ALL of who we are, we are grateful for each breath, thankful to our parents and ancestors who brought us into BEing. Thus, it is easy to live in and with an attitude of gratitude. Mindful practices keeps us ONE with the Omnipresence of Love and manifests as a beautiful life.

Mental:

Each of us have Energy (electrical fire) running through the neurons of our brains and cells. When the fire is not burning so bright, we diminish (depress). When the fire is burning brilliant, we are passion and “on fire” for our purpose, and what unites us with our soul! There are no obstacles. To forgive means to give in advance and give others a chance to catch up–we ALL learn at differing rates of speed! Connect with the greater consciousness. We learn through each experience and expand–not only our identifiable consciousness, but the Collective Consciousness as well. This explains how the “Take It Upon Yourself” individual matters to the “We Are All Connected” ONE. Grow. Understand that life is infinite–full of potential and unlimited possibility.

Physical:

Our bodies manifest from ALL we take in (ingest), surround ourselves with (environment), and experience (go through). On a cellular level (read Dr. Bruce Lipton’s ground-breaking book, The Biology of Belief to understand this), our bodies are created from and continue to recreate based on the genetic blueprint, but express (become / manifest) their particular aspects (to BE the way they are) per the environment they are in! This is cellular rejuvenation. This is the way to connect soul to body. Nurture yourself and others. Be energetic in your daily life, you came here to express ALL of who you are!

Emotional:

Coming round full circle here. Our emotions are as the surf is to the ocean. Our emotions are always moving (ALLways). When we allow ourselves the time and kindness, feel anger, feel love, feel joy, and all in between we learn to enjoy (IN Joy) life; allowing, nurturing, feeling free, and BEing ALL we came to be. We allow ourselves and others the freedom to create peace and harmony, and/or teach lessons. Daily integration of practices you’ve come to learn such as, open-attention, mindfulness, meditation, and prayer provides you with all you need to properly and compassionately communicate (full of grace and ease) with anyone.

Live and breathe Love & Gratitude

Thank Omniscience ALLways. OM

How can you know your Soul?

Knowing your Soul

Some people feel it. They feel their soul within their body when they’re in the groove, happy, and sensing elation.

Some sing with soul and love soul music. And while that’s aWEsOMe, that’s not exactly what I’m referring to in this post.

When I meditate I connect with my soul. I yawn to bring in more oxygen to feed and nourish my soul (that resides in my blood). I integrate spirit into my soul. I clear out whatever is not needed. I release old traumas. Perhaps, even past life traumas.

How can you really “know” your Soul?

From what I’ve learned in the last five years

Your Soul knows why you are here, but you may not realize why you’re here–yet
Your Soul is not good or bad, it’s just your true Self, the part of you that has always been and will continue to be
Your Soul is your essence, your most honest Self
Your Soul is the real you
As you open your “real eyes” to your Soul, it will emerge
When you are in alignment with your Soul, you’ll feel good
You may want to defend why you’re here to others, but you don’t have to, just let them move on (They have their own path)
Your Soul will draw the people, places, and things to you that you need, because you don’t really need much (in the physical) to accomplish what you came here for
Your Soul has everything it needs for you to accomplish what you came here for–just listen
Sit with, meditate, pray, listen–you’ll know what to do
Take action when prompted–you’ll feel a push or pull
When you are ready, a teacher will appear–look, listen, feel, and learn

When you are in alignment with your Soul

You’ll feel on fire
You’ll feel on purpose
You’ll feel appreciation for everything
You’ll feel gratitude even when you can’t figure out what you’re grateful for
People will say that you’re glowing
Your eyes will sparkle or twinkle and people will notice it, and the ones who are living in alignment with their Soul, will tell you
Your voice will be strong and full of compassion
Things you used to find to be difficult will just sort of flow, or fall easily into place
Some people may call you lucky
You’ll sense that your ambition fills you with Energy, even when you’re physically tired
You won’t feel lonely, sad, depressed, or stressed, because your Soul will be motivating you to action
And you’ll always have something to do, something going on, not busy work, Soul directed joyful tasks
You’ll sense a confidence in your manner that you may not have ever felt before
Action in alignment with your Soul will somehow move mountains
You’ll want to nurture your Soul
You’ll be drawn to seek out your Soul more and more, and Connect with it

On the path

Your Soul, when you are on a path of DOING what you came to do, will cause you to feel wonderful good feeling emotions (Energy in motion)! You may feel a tingle, small electric kind of charge, or even goose bumps–what I call God bumps.

The Soul

The concept of the Soul. When we breathe in from the larger part of Spirit, a bit of Spirit (carried by oxygen) mixes with our blood to become our Soul. As oxygen enlivens us (our blood), we express Spirit, and feel our Soul.

Note: As you start to know your Soul, you may notice that your Ego may take a hit. Just know that going into this work, as your Ego is grown out of your Beliefs (conditioning, or “programming”), but your Soul is your Truth, which must always take precedence. Your Soul shall preempt your Ego. And that’s good. Let it Be.

Be the person your Soul knows you are!

Namaste. OM

Why I meditate daily

Time for meditation

The day after Beau (our beloved 14 year old male Shih-Tzu) crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I realized our morning walk (when I’d do my walking meditation) could become my regular sitting meditation practice time. I knew I could honor Beau (during my meditation time) by sitting with a blanket in the spot where he had made his transition to the “beyond”. Also, I could place the two small stuffed animals (my loving husband had given me years ago) near me, to sort of represent our kids with fur, Beau and Lou-Lou. Two little stuffed representatives to comfort me somehow.

Why meditate?

To center oneself emotionally, mentally, and spiritually within your being
To nurture self and enhance well-being
To take note of thoughts
To expand the space between thoughts – which sharpens one’s focus over time and makes the mind serviceable
To allow self to connect with God – our LIMITLESS Ever-Living Filling-All-Space Creator. (More about that connection here.)

My meditation time is priceless to me.

Meditation class

After taking structured meditation classes, I realize that I’ve always meditated, just not in any structured way. I have learned methods from Dr. Alison J. Kay and a MeetUp group, and I continue to learn. A couple of weeks into my new sitting meditation routine, I visited Alania Starhawk’s crystal shop and studio in Largo, FL (Alania also runs a MeetUp group) and I was drawn to two wonderful “sister” crystals, which I brought home and proceeded to incorporate into my meditation seating arrangement.

Beginning to meditate

When I begin my actual meditation, I set a timer next to me (UPDATE: I was right, after two months, I did not need the timer).

I settle and relax my body into a comfortable position with my legs crossed. I envision the light from the sister crystal next to my left foot, entering my body in a spiral fashion, clicking into place all of the gears or points of connection on each chakra wheel (beginning with the root/red chakra, sacral/orange, solar plexus/yellow (always visualizing a sun rise), up into the heart/green chakra (where everything grows from the sun and filters out as love to all in my community, city, county, state, country, continent, and world).

Continuing, the Energy blooms into the throat/blue chakra, and to the purple third-eye chakra, where levers and switches get flipped up or down, and re-calibrate as necessary whatever needs to be accurately tuned, through the very essence and into the center of my body, aligning my spine, reaching out through the light of the other sister crystal in my right hand, and finally, connecting with Limitless Creator Source Energy God via my crown chakra (top of my head).

I naturally come out of my meditation with a word, or phrase from the Divine.

Honored Connections

When Beau passed, I wanted a pillow with a picture of him on it, but it took me awhile to figure out the picture and how to obtain it.

One day, I looked at the beautiful Awakened Fibers wall hanging in our bedroom and realized who I’d ask. I reached out to Mary Ann Pickard, owner of Awakened Fibers — and she was more than happy to create my Beau pillow! I commissioned her to make one pillow for me and one for my granddaughter (who also loved Beau, often asking to see him when we’d Skype or Google Hangout).

Whem the pillows were finished, I met Mary Ann to pick them up. I was elated! She had lovingly designed and created such extraordinary pillows! So much detail, like the hidden zipper (so Jennie wouldn’t catch herself on it), along with super neat trim (blue cording on mine / frilly lace on Jennie’s) — really artistically crafted!

Upon returning home, I immediately sensed that I would use my new “Beau pillow” during my meditation. My yellow shirt is from Rekha (of India Artisans, Sarasota FL which was next door to the Crystal Cave a beautiful crystal shop.

Other meditations

Moving meditation

I did stair climbing meditation five days a week for more than two years. I used that time to de-stress from my tasks, stretch, practice Jin Shin Jyutsu, pray, and even practice Pilates and other movements to build and tone my body. I gained much calm during that time.

Sitting meditation

My sitting meditation is something I really look forward to each morning though. It’s a quiet, tranquil time where I feel totally nurtured and supported by All There Is.

A time where the walls of “me” melt away and allow me to become ONE with All There Is, know and feel exceedingly that, We Are All Connected.

Focused meditation

You don’t need to have “things” around you when you meditate – but I have found that for now, these are pleasing to me and anchor me to my little piece of heaven on earth.

Quick recap

You can actually meditate with your eyes open! Just pick a point to focus on. Also, clearing your mind isn’t the goal. The goal (over time with consistent practice) is to make the mind serviceable.

You can use a phrase instead of a word. You can try walking meditation if sitting annoys you. The point is to observe and detach. Notice who (or what) is thinking the thoughts and let each gracefully float away. Oh, and no spirituality is required. OM ❤️🦋🌀 Namaste. OM

UPDATE April 2019: My morning routine has changed. Now, I mentally say, “Thank you.” Then before I get out of bed, I do this actual breathwork (yes, with this link): https://youtu.be/lcC_DUtNr1M Then, before brushing my teeth I look in the bathroom mirror, look into my eyes and say out loud, “Thank you mom and thank you dad for creating me”! (As both are in the Grand Beyond now). And then shower, dress, and do some yoga, Pilates, and/or Qigong. A little later in the morning, I do this exercise too: https://youtu.be/PwJCJToQmps

For beginners

Here are a few things I’ve found in common between all the various meditation teachers I have learned from:

Focus on your breath
Your mind will wander
As thoughts enter, allow them to float on by as if on a cloud
Stay unattached to external sounds or environmental conditions
Return to the breath
Start with one or two minutes
Sit comfortably in the same place each day
Try to meditate at the same time each day

After some practice, allowing the thoughts to float by and finding the space growing in between the thoughts is what is most important. Namaste. OM ❤️🦋🌀🙏
