ponder

Introduction of my April 2022 Facebook post:

I’m taking some time out this weekend from the writing of the second edition of Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life, which I am renaming to Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life- Reversing Asthma and Other Chronic Illness Naturally, to rewrite and post something I wrote last year on this day for Facebook. I’ve edited the following article a bit (in particular the last paragraph about the FB and IG challenges I did in 2022) to make sense at this NOW moment. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

April 1st 2022 Facebook post

While sitting with a bowl of cooked cabbage with a bit of luscious Irish butter on it, I pondered:

Maybe it takes an analyst to question
Maybe it takes a poet to ponder
Maybe it takes a child to see

That Jesus taught the people who followed him using parables, so they would understand that spirituality, enlightenment, and faith were only useful when one applied their highest and best understandings, ideals, and yes, their very integrity, DURING any perceived wrongdoing, hurtful, or harmful situation? Maybe?
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

Once or twice close friends have told me they thought me to be more spiritual than they. But I don’t see it that way at all. And I have had others, even family, think that I was pushing things “too far” (like when I called out certain institutions that could do better when it comes to children).

Well, I guess I do call it like I see it. But I can admit when I need to “turn things over and over until I can gain more insight” or lastly, let the something go because I was not there to witness said perversion, mistreatment, etc. I was not a witness and therefore, it’s none of my business.

However, as a living and breathing fractal of Omniscience (the same as each of you), I do want to hold space for anyone suffering or in bondage. I want to see all the captives set FREE! I want to see the hungry fed, and the naked clothed. I want the abuse to stop. And writing seems to be the talent and skill God gave me, so I use words to bring Awareness.

I am not saying I am better than anyone. I am not saying I am blameless. And if others want to discourage me from sharing what God has put on my heart, I have to let go of their judgment of me. I cannot and do not know everything that’s happened to them, and cannot and do not know if my words cause them pain. I pray my words do not cause pain, as my only intention is to shed light on certain negative aspects involving certain institutions. I realize it’s a double-edged sword.

I focus on the light and the love, but also the balance that comes from the yin and yang of it ALL. And I have also been a mirror to some who are what I call my “love and light friends” who have called out certain things they disagree with, and I’ve found that those certain things are probably what they are here to heal first within themselves, and then shine a light on the issues in an uplifting way. I will commit to doing the same, realizing it’s probably more of a lifelong practice than something I will ever fully cultivate or actualize.

Last year, I made a commitment to daily post and share a page from the Course in Miracles calendar and once-a-week “Chaos and Kindness bracelet challenge” I did with my daughter (she had to drop out of the bracelet challenge part way through though due to her new job). I took the month of April 2022 off from adding any commentary to my FB and IG posts. (And no, it wasn’t an April Fool’s Day joke.) It was a test of will for me and I held myself accountable. I got through it and learned a lot. I let go of making a lot of commentary posts for the rest of 2022 and I broke the habit of feeling I had to share every thought and opinion.

To our better health, ease, joy, and sustainment without attachment.

Peace. Out.

Integrating the Spirals to ease sad and lonely feelings

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is important now more than ever because I know more people are sad and lonely these days. (Let me know if you’re interested in taking the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise hope. I want to uplift others and raise our collective vibrations and consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath and that offers us peace and calm. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive personal guidance.

I don’t know if I’ve ever (publicly) explained this before, but I absorb, and tolerate, even accept ”upset“ to a point, but after kindly expressing my concerns or frustrations (to one or more people), and not being heard, I then speak in a firm, perhaps demanding ”tone” or get loud.

At some point, my emotions boil over. And it only seems people hear me then. Ugh!

Either you want people to share, or you don’t. I am not shy, nor boastful. I am nice. I am kind.

The stream of consciousness, when cut, will come out in another way. Because Life ALLways finds a way.

Have you been belittled, or picked last?

In my 58 years on this planet, I’ve learned that
I’m typically too nice, overly sensitive, and emotional. But, I am not a victim, and certainly do not wallow in victimhood.

I’m a deep and careful listener, loyal friend, and strong advocate (especially for the underdogs, misunderstood, misfits, and those who create a healthier world for us all—beyond the next 7 generations). I am a critical thinker. And embrace individuality. I love the freedom I find in BEing independent.

I have a profound knowing that We Are All Connected. And that we’re only as strong as our weakest link.

We can pull together, or we can pull apart.

Notice the separation of the colors of the rainbow 🌈? What does it make you appreciate?

Even the rainbow’s colors are separated. But, by what? Though the colors are separate, we love the rainbow.

I listen first

I sit and I listen, gratefully with as much compassion as I have access to with mySelf, as others talk, often sharing too much of the current discord.

Then I speak.

But, it doesn’t feel good to me, when my voice gets “put in the back of the bus” by someone.

I only speak when I feel a strong urge. When I am compelled to share. I am propelled by Omniscience. And when my voice is cut off while I am sending love, what shall I do? This physically hurts me. I care deeply. But because of my complexion, my pain doesn’t matter? We ALL have a message, but here I go again, having to write it through my tears because SOMEONE felt they needed to hear from their more important “in that moment” others.

Imperfect action

In my humble opinion, promoting or monetizing poor behavior—is of a low vibration. And it serves to perpetuate one-sided, dense thinking. And yes, I know how that sounds. I am well aware that is a judgment, and obviously, others see nothing wrong with it to further their “cause.”
We never really know who (or how) others, no matter their complexion or ethnicity, have been persecuted.

Learning all the time

Do you believe as I, that life is a school? And that Everything, in particular, every experience we have is presented to us for learning?

Do you often wish you would respond to each challenge with your best response?
Perhaps people use bullying tactics to feel empowered. Perhaps bullying is their way of standing in their power. But, to the one in their way, it feels as though they are preying on the vulnerable or weak person.

I write a lot about the power of words, and tone. And tone can be expressed in writing, as well as when spoken. Thus, I thought I had grown to a place where words couldn’t hurt me.
But, I believe that we all mirror each other to some degree.

Mirror work

I don’t want to mirror someone’s dark side, so I often walk away, and simply stop arguing or fighting. I realize that “sending them love” would be my highest vibrational response, yet I am not always emotionally strong enough. At times, I have pushed back and been direct, only for the situation to escalate—even to the point of physical abuse.

An example:

This brings me to relate a recent situation:
I was emotionally triggered by a response (that looked and felt quite rude), to a comment made by one of my longest and dearest friends on my group, We Are All Connected. My dear friend had expressed her deeply religious comment (based on her belief) to a beautiful photo I had shared. The problem was that an acquaintance didn’t like my friends’ comment and felt offended by it because he is an atheist.

Initially, when I read his comment I felt it in my body. And the feeling wasn’t good. My gut wrenched because I felt like I had been punched! I wanted to spare my friends feelings, and as the admin, I removed HIS comment. That set off more back and forth from him because he felt I was choosing sides. And I was. Not because I don’t like him, or dislike atheists, or because I like her more, and approve of her religious beliefs, but simply to FEEL BETTER. (And he clearly broke the group rules anyway—he was not kind.)

Second example:

I have taken a lot of being talked down to, even in the business coaching program I am currently in. I often receive criticism, push back, month after month. Though we are encouraged to think big, and come up with a program worthy of a $10k price-tag, MY ideas are often dismissed as either “fantasy,” “unrealistic,” or that we may not be UP TO delivering what we want to offer.

So, I had one of those “last straw” moments in a group the other day. And unfortunately that moment coincided with other personal stressors (which I had tried to explain to my coach the day before, but was ushered to focus on our objective for efficiency’s sake).

Either you want people to share, or you don’t. I thought the point of a small group discussion was to speak our heart?

Of course I honor everyone on our intimate group calls. But, they had been quiet and I felt the inspiration to speak, so I broke through any thoughts about being misunderstood, and I opened my mouth to speak healing.

I will never know, now, what the last sentence would have been (it was only one more sentence), because our coach felt he needed to hear from others in our group (whom had not spoken in 8 minutes, and no one knew why). And thankfully, I had gotten to share a few thoughts, a few minutes earlier. I think my grandmother may have been speaking through me. And it’s sad her words were not allowed to be heard. I think she wanted us to realize that we never know who or how others, no matter their complexion or ethnicity, have been persecuted. But apparently, that was not the time (to speak that knowledge aloud).

Empowerment Coaching

I can find value in Everything. And I can turn, turn, turn, to the next best feeling.

All that to say, as a writer, and spiritually open-minded, caring, empathic, and such, I came abruptly, face-to-face with my own fallibility. I am human. I am not perfect. So how can I be an empowering coach?

By teaching you this?
Thank YOU (in appreciation of whomever is challenging me in any moment), for helping me make a better choice.

Maybe we need to start by changing the way we think about these words:

black and dark, white and light.

Look deeper.

Consider this:
