It’s March 15th, 2024; Here’s an original country song with piano for you today about crying for someone that left. This country tune has some pleasing piano runs (thanks to Steven Cooper) and country guitar licks. He’d do anything for his love to return. He fell for the lies. And still cries ’cause he believes the person would stay. Ray Barnett on the vocals.
Sadness is an indicator
Here’s the seventy-fourth new music post for 2024, as I consistently offer an original song from Richard’s music catalog to enjoy (or learn from) every day. This country song is a sad but too familiar story about someone who still loves the one who lied and left.
Heartache songs
If you feel sad while listening to a heartache song, you might have some healing or clearing to do on and for yourself.
As discussed in yesterday’s article, the desires of the flesh cause pain. Most of this is attached to our lust, rather than love. Our human Material Self gets attached to someone’s presence in our life, their behavior, antics, actions, and ways. As well, our biology gets attached to their scent (think pheromones). Yes, people share a chemistry between them.
Epigenetics: What you are thinking is translated into chemistry that will determine what you become –Bruce Lipton father of Epigenetics
I’m starting my third year, participating in Dr. Bruce Lipton’s online group forum and monthly Live Zoom calls. I’ve learned and integrated a lot of knowledge about Epigenetics and now realize just how addicted to certain people we become.
Yes, when you grow attached to someone’s wicked ways (evil or very different ways, hurtful, vengeful, irrational, criminal, etc.), it impacts your chemistry, mood, thoughts, actions, habits, and more. Someone’s dark or dense energies can and very often do, lead softer hearts (and empaths) on a downward spiral that feels impossible to break away from. But hark! Freedom from these energy suckers is possible!
Breaking attachments is hard to do
Meme: “A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. if you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. You will be changed. The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it. Please, please allow it.” –Leanette Leblanc
Breaking attachments that have deep bonds is hard to do. Most of us can get through it a bit easier if we have some emotional support.
If you’re a woman, find a soulful women’s circle you can share with to find some support. You may always want to attend some 12-step program of your choice. For men, I know you want to hang with your buddies, but you might also want to find a men’s spiritual circle or 12-step program to help you as you break the love (or lust) addiction.
Allow yourself the time to be vulnerable and heal your emotions while taking part in these groups, or seek counseling. If you’d like to learn more about Epigenetics, join us in the Bruce Lipton online community at: BruceLipton.com

As a Minister and Spiritual Advisor, it is my pleasure to help you find a way to Connect with spirit. Our ever-living God Omniscience knows ALL. The invitation is open to you.
I speak and offer advice by invitation only. If you would love me to speak at your office, bookstore, crystal shop, acupuncture/chiropractor office, natural health foods store, art fair, music, or yoga festival–comment on this post or reach out to me via my social channels.
This is a teaser from the 2nd edition of my 2018 self-published book, Take It Upon Yourself to Live a Wholly Vibrant Life (to be renamed, Have Yourself a Wholly Vibrant Life). If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Quite simply, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) cured my addiction/habit of finger skin-picking/chewing. And I believe my story might help others, so I feel compelled to share it. You might wonder what I mean by “picking my fingers.” Years ago I quit biting my fingernails, but I only traded that habit for something less. The main cause of the “picking” had not been addressed.
I bought a book called, Tapping the Healer Within because my acupuncture doctor had told me about it, and because I had tried everything else. I found that book a bit convoluted and besides, it mostly dealt with phobias and anxieties – neither of which I thought I had. More importantly, it was difficult for me to hold the book and try to tap on my body with my other hand. Or maybe that was only my excuse – but the book, though interesting to me, wasn’t enough to help me.
A few weeks before my personal EFT visit with a local therapist, my encouraging hubby and I watched a mind-expanding show on TLC called, I Can Make You Thin. One of the episodes showed the host using EFT to help people overcome their food cravings. Because I had also tried everything to lose weight, I decided that I really needed some one-on-one personal guidance with that, as well as my finger skin-picking habit.
At about that time, I met an EFT practitioner named, Janice Cunningham (Health Quest Titusville, Florida). I was eager to get in for an appointment. During a 2.5-hour session (on a Saturday) with Janice, I described both of my issues fully. By the time we’d wrapped up our session, I found a total resolution to some deep-seated wrong mental programming, and amazingly, I had the best night’s sleep that I’d had in years that night! I guess I had not even realized that my sleep pattern had also been an issue.
My appointment with Janice also greatly helped me to release the finger skin-picking addiction. Janice and I spent nearly two hours going back into my past, into my former marriage, teenage years, and finally, childhood years. I realized that I had picked up my habit of fingernail-biting at the same time asthma began – when I was six years of age. My mom had always been a terrible nail-biter, biting right down into the quick, so I knew I’d picked up the habit from mom, I simply had not realized how much of a connection there was between that habit, my asthma, and my mom.
Example of finger picking on side of my ring fingernail. Yes, sometimes it still occurs when I watch something too intense in a TV show/movie–so perhaps I am not 100% “cured” but I have a LOT more awareness around it and do not continue to pick once I become aware that I’m doing it.
I realized fully during my session that when my mom’s father died, my grandfather, the sadness surrounding his death deeply affected me. When I was six years of age, coincidently, I received an asthma diagnosis. You’ll recall I had explained earlier that my grandfather had died at home after being in the hospital for cancer surgery. They sent him home with the understanding that the doctors had done all they could do. At least my grandfather died at home.
As an aside, one of the things my mother always said was to stay away from hospitals if possible. I think she had heard about people who went to the hospital and died from some infection (like Sepsis) or had the wrong procedure done! My mother’s fear of the hospital was not lost on me. The important thing about that experience for me though, was that even though I was a child, I had a deep connection to my grandfather’s passing, mostly due to how upset my mom was during that time. And because I was thoroughly connected to my mother emotionally.
My mama was very upset about losing her father. She and I, at that time, felt that death was the end. And though our religious belief was that we would see him again in the afterlife, we suffered greatly at the time of his death and for weeks after. I vividly recall believing if she could lose him, I could lose her. And there was no way I could live – I wouldn’t be able to breathe, in fact – without my mom. Knowing what I know now, I hard-wired that grief right into my lungs, because of the emotional charge involved in that event, due to my vivid recall of it.
My EFT session felt like counseling and hypnosis (though I was awake and totally aware of what was happening) as though Janice was talking to me on a deep level. During the session, Janice recommended I take some notes, both of the things I was becoming aware of and how to run through this process again on my own. The following is an account of the written notes I made:
I couldn’t breathe without my mom.
I always had tried to “save my mom.”
I am not my thoughts.
My perception influenced my thoughts but my perceptions were wrong.
The genie is out of the bottle.
I do not need the old thoughts.
Am I the thought or the awareness?
Am I “this” thought, or am I the awareness of “this” thought?
Who sent “this” thought? (My pain body)
Examine “this” thought. It will probably be a limiting thought, a no-win thought, and one that would eventually bring pain.
To let go of “this” thought: 1) focus on the feeling of my breath in and out, 2) be the observing presence.
When I only observe, I suspend space.
Inspiration = In spirit, and inspiration fills me, lights me up from the inside – the same as when someone is in creative mode you feel the creative energy inside, in your heart/chest not in the head area.
The Aha moment is when the head agrees to the inner knowing.
My habit of biting my fingernails = my fear and anxiety linked to my feeling of not being able to fix/help/save my mom.
Something that can trigger asthma in my body is when I face something I can’t do anything about; when I feel a sense of powerlessness.
Through this experience and the many more that followed, I learned we tend to hold fear as a sort of security blanket. I don’t know why, as I think that is the root cause of most of our suffering. And the Buddhists and Taoists believe and teach that also.
This is also a reason I bring up the topic of God and spiritual things in this book. Our beliefs—whether we have hope or not and if we believe this Universe is friendly or not—have a lot to do with how each of us feels bodily.
You may not think fear is the same as a person who is negative all the time, but I would wager that a person who is consistently afraid of this thing or the other, is a person who puts a lot of emphasis on protecting what they think belongs to them. Some might call that kind of person a control freak. They may be a person who lives for “things” and is a pack rat or hoarder. They may also be the kind of person who suffers because of all the things and people to whom they are attached. There’s a lot of healing in letting go, of people, places, and things. And you can’t take any of it with you when you transition (or pass away) from this life to whatever comes next.
The Bible in the book of Philippians has a verse that instructs us to think about whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, excellent, or praiseworthy. And the author of those words, Paul, said that as we think these thoughts the God of peace will be with us. I used to encourage my mother to focus on these things—and during her last two or three years, if not more, she did, because she was always in gratitude during our last visits.
Janice used EFT in a compassionate and caring way. The end result of the two hours for my fingers was every difficulty my mom had ever had, in her marriage, health, etc. I felt as though I needed to help her, or ‘SAVE’ her. Though mom had a very strong faith in Jesus, it was always something I had felt – that I needed to save her. Once we broke this down and got to this deep-seated REASON for my habit, so many other things lifted within my mind and body as well. I can’t say enough wonderful things about EFT. If you think you’ve tried everything to find relief from anxiety, depression, weight issues, nerve problems, etc. I implore you to seek out an EFT therapist in your area. You do not need to “believe in it” for it to work for you. And what do you have to lose?
Over the years, I took the words attributed to Jesus in the Bible about “saving people” to mean, “love people.” For I am not responsible for saving anyone else or even making them happy. However, the cells of my body hold me accountable for making myself happy (it feels good when I align with my Soul) to keep my Temple (Mind and Body), healthy. I can love my enemies, but I don’t have to live with them!
Thus, because I am a super responsible person – I’m supposed to do something. (This is the conflict that causes the habitual negative behavior). And because I have an analytical mind, I often find my thoughts at odds with the evidence-based medicine that is predominantly used in hospitals, as I believe the evidence of healing I’ve experienced is true too—anecdotal experience is real and is true!
I relied on prayer, EFT, breath work, reflexology, and all kinds of alternative methods to calm and help myself think clearly when my husband was in the hospital in October 2022. I was dumbstruck how little the hospital staff communicated with each other, even though they wheeled a computer into the room with them each time! I found myself telling each doctor, intern, resident, specialist, and nurse who came into the room to see my husband most all of the same things because they did not relay the information to each other. Since I am a business analyst in Information Technology by trade the lack of appropriate information handoffs I witnessed was alarming!
p.s. I used to teach EFT at a Wellness clinic in St. Petersburg, Florida and I have lectured on the benefits of EFT at several events. I am planning on offering some general introductory EFT sessions via Zoom if anyone is interested in participating–let me know in the comments.

We packed up our most personal items today from our RV (that we’ve been living in for 11+ years).
We’re moving to a 1/1 villa in a 55+ community.
It’s the end of a dream to live Off Grid, on my son’s property. The property where my dad transitioned.
Moving day.
I’ve never been afraid of death. But saying good bye and letting go has never came easy.
I go back in my mind—to the last time I sat on the side of our bed with my mom (and I gave her back her wedding band that I’d had for years (no idea what happened to it). And to my last visits with my dad in our RV (when we lived in Merritt Island—dad and my cousin had moved our rig there in 2018).
One of our last visits, dad had cleaned out our floor heat vents. He said we’d have to sink the screw a bit and we didn’t. After dad passed, I thought of him every time I stepped on that floor vent screw. (And it was okay.)
Speaking of my folks, I whisper “I love you” to my mom, dad, and both sets of grandparents and ancestors, every morning when I do my Gratitude F-L-O-W and blow them a kiss. (IntegratedSpiral.com)
But, here’s the thing, I simply feel like a failure today. Like 17 months of off grid living was for nothing. And I miss my son. (Yes, we’ll go back and visit, and for now, our RV is still there, but my feelings are still, my feelings).
I know, “Love truly does conquer ALL.“
And I know, in multitudinous ways, “We Are Not Alone.” We Are ALL Connected.
Yet, I am sad.

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 know your soul
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
