It’s October 21st, 2024; We have an original rock song for ALL today! Bubba Hudson offered his magnificent vocals on this rockin’ song that’s definitely fresh beats and radio-ready. Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN put together a fantastic group in the studio to put the shine on this cut.
Here’s the two-hundred-ninety-third new music post for 2024, as I consistently knock your socks off with hot rockin’ songs. We’re NOT ready for the rocking chair yet! Ha!
We’re at the intersection of Energy, Spirituality, Health, and Music, to let FREEDOM ring for ALL!
Screen capture from a Facebook meme I shared 2 years ago. “Be so deeply committed to your growth that you’re willing to say no without guilt and yes without fear.” –Unknown, shared by soul vibes
Do more than survive. Grow!
The biggest reason I enjoy coaching people, or counseling, offering advice, even simply writing this blog, is to encourage you to grow. Never stop growing. The more you grow, the more you’ll marry your spirit to your soul. The more in alignment with your soul you’ll be.
Meme: “Some of us have been through things so traumatic that the human mind isn’t built to handle but we fight and persevere every single day and night. If that’s not strength I don’t know what is. You are a survivor.” –UnknownMeme: “Remember that your mental health is a priority, your inner peace is essential, and your self-car is a necessity.” –Unknown
Cherish your core memories. If you are going to cherish anything. Though I question everything as I know the mind is capable of distorting memories. And as a Taoist/Buddhist, I release cherishing and attachment. This brings me more inner peace.
Super Patch testimonials
The testimonials keep coming in for Super Patch:
Screen capture: “This is huge!!! A child could stick every single one of these on and you would NOT have to worry at all. That is why so many health professionals/moms/leaders are choosing this! ZERO side effect. NO worries. NO drugs. NO ingredients. Can you say that about any other supplement?” –Rebecca Rohrbeck on Facebook
My meme: “I am drawn to using Super Patches to heal, from our experiences with Healing Touch, Reiki, Glyphs, Laying on of Hands, and meditation on the Intelligent Design of our fingerprints!” –Sheila Murrey
Everything happens for a reason
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.
Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s soar in ’24!
Yours in expanding, spiritually-seeking and speaking, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

My husband of 19 years, Richard Murrey, is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (having penned over 400 original songs). You can view his artwork and hear original songs at: http://listen4music.com
It’s March 18th, 2024; Here’s an original funky pop song with a hook about loving ourselves–in that way. This is one of Richard’s favorite songs and the more we listen to it the more we smile! Haha! Are you curious? Buckle up, Buttercup! This is going to get loosey-goosey and a bit woo-woo!
Celebrating the story
Here’s the seventy-seventh new music post for 2024, as I consistently place an original song from Richard’s 400+ song catalog in front of your eyes and ears each day. This funky pop song takes me right back to Ireland and the tour bus ride out to Newgrange for the Winter Solstice event of 2019 (the last public event too, until last year–due to COVID).
I remember exactly how I felt when Edel (of Eriu tours) told me the captivating Sheela Na Gig story after asking if I knew the Celtic history surrounding my name. And no, I had never heard of the Sheela Na Gig before. Here’s a link to a previous post where I discuss it.
You can check my Pinterest page: https://www.pinterest.com/spiralsister1/sheela-na-gig/ if you have no idea what I’m talking about. I have even had a couple of the images shared on that page removed by Pinterest because they said they were explicit! Ha! So, there’s your warning. LOL
Lovin’ self and our connections
There’s a lot of talk out there in the coaching, self-help, and personal transformation world about self-love. And of course, we’re poking fun at that (a little bit), by putting Lust for Myself (the song) out into the world. But we love to laugh and have fun, so there’s that. Take it as you will.
The day following St. Patrick’s Day will be special to me because it’s Sheela Na Gig Day but also because it was the day my dad and I were to meet up (he’d asked me to put him on my schedule–a word he never used, but because I was always ‘busy, busy, busy’ (his words), we’d set a day aside for a visit. Unfortunately, Dad passed on March 8th, 2019. UGH
Meme: The only questions you need to ask yourself when you are feeling defeated or lost is, “Where am I not loving myself” How can I value myself more?” — Anita Moorjani (shared as a Facebook story from James Young)
I continue learning about my Irish heritage, Celtic Spirituality, and meditation. As an empath, spiritual teacher, advisor, minister, and confidante I love connecting with Omniscience God, Source, daily. It’s the highest and best use of my time and must always precede my writing.
I do take time every few days, to check in with enlightened others, and I switch them up as new ones cross my path. About a week ago, I was attracted to listen to Bashar. I knew I was being spiritually led to him because he also showed up on a Gaia event I’d registered to watch (for free). You can register and watch for free too, until March 26th, 2024 if you feel so inclined:
I listened to Darryl Anka who channels Bashar, last night. And then this morning, I watched Anita Moorjani’s presentation. I love her! I’ve followed Anita’s work since 2020 when we lived off-grid in the woods. I came to know of her as I was finishing up. Blue Eyes. I was stunned and thrilled at how much our stories aligned, though I’d simply had hypnosis and past life regressions–I didn’t have to die and have a Near Death Experience (NDE) to learn what she learned. I do teach different practices than she does, but our messages dovetail beautifully.
As for my take on Bashar, his style is a bit abrupt, but I learned some things from him last night. I connected with him immediately when he said, “If you feel alone, add an L. All one.” Aha!
I’ve said and written many times here in this blog and my books that loneliness is a lack of purpose. He seems to agree with that as he presents his guiding principles for living. The more I listened to Bashar, the more I felt the energetic rise in my vibration. I told you this was going to get loosey-goosey and woo-woo! Ha! I felt my consciousness expanding. I can’t judge you to say whether you’re ready to hear from him yet, but as Abraham always says, “For me right now, this is of value.”
Why I teach Integration
Meme: Sheila teaches: Breathwork, Meditation, Alternative Health practical at-home methods, Energy Medicine, Minimalism, Qigong, and how to appreciate being an empath and rediscovering ancient ways and the purpose for visiting sacred sites.
No one can change anyone. But we can offer guidance, inspiration, and hope! If someone is tired of being ‘sick and tired,’ they may be ready and open to change. I teach Integration because it offers ways to change while living our daily lives. It requires awareness and willingness. I began teaching Integration even before developing and codifying the practices into what is now, Integrating the Spirals.
I had to begin this work on and for myself–and you see? Now, we’ve come full circle to the song! Ha! I love it when a plan comes together.
My Stairwell story
One of the first things I integrated for myself was learning and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). A few years after teaching that at a wellness center on the weekends, I learned Qigong. I was in a group class taught by a master lama. It was wild! It was a lot of work, but he taught our group in a bit easier way than how he’d learned it from the monks (whom he said could be brutal)!
And I learned why I needed both EFT and Qigong (and Pilates too, but I’m trying to keep this story short). I was working for a corporate company at the time and my work could be challenging and stressful. I used to go to the restroom to do EFT (where I had privacy in a stall). But one day, one of my coworkers mentioned that he would take breaks and climb the stairs. That gave me the idea to also go into the stairwell (not at the same time as he was climbing), and integrate my Qigong into my day–at the times when I was feeling the most stress. I now call this my ‘Stairwell story‘ and I don’t think I’ve ever written it up before, so thank you, Vicki (of Victoria Ponders) for reminding me to write it.
My soulie sisters
I’d love to send Happy Birthday wishes out to one of my first best friends, Susie. We don’t talk often, but when we do, it’s like no time has passed. We live many states apart, but I always feel connected to her. Our dads were friends, and we used to spend the night with each other when we were young. Oh, the memories. The favorite bands, songs, jeans, dolls, running from the bull (really!), and Susie teaching me stuff by writing on her chalkboard (I was always surprised she didn’t become a school teacher). I didn’t realize today was her birthday until I noticed her on the Facebook birthday list, and now I am sitting with this incredible synchronicity! This is a ‘full circle’ moment for me.
Another synchronicity today with Victoria Ponders. Screen capture of a Facebook post I wrote on this day, 8 years ago about birth being only the beginning!
I’d also like to take a moment to wish a dear ‘soul sister’ friend a very Happy Birthday. To Jacqueline: I’ll always remember our drive to Gainesville, FL when you told me that March 18th was your birthday, as I told you the Sheela Na Gig story and why it meant so much to me (since it was the date my dad and I had planned to visit, but he passed before we could). I remember feeling like I needed to stop the car! I felt the GodBumps! It was such a profound moment that it forever cemented our soulie sister Connection. Happy Birthday, Jacqueline. Discover Jacqueline and her ministry on Facebook with C.O.R. Center 4 Divinity.
Enjoy (IN Joy) and have fun! Be Everything All the Time.
May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! Here’s to loving ourselves more, choosing, growing, and living FREE!
Yours in expanding, loving self to love the world more, spiraling consciousness,
Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey

Increasing our Connections
As I was talking with a gal sitting next to me, she noticed my fingernails and asked, “Color Street”? And of course, I told her yes and that my daughter sells Color Street. She showed me her nails and smiled really big and then got her mom (who was sitting on the other side of her) to show me hers. It was a light-hearted and fun moment and instantly felt synchronistic to all three of us! Sometimes, the little things in life really do matter! ❤️🦋🌀😉

I was completely unnerved!
As a highly sensitive person (HSP) I wanted to stay with my friend at an outdoor cafe and enjoy our visit, but a roaring motorcycle went by and the noise overwhelmed me!
I lost touch with the truth of who I am. I got rattled. I almost picked up my stuff and left, as I was quite literally… BESIDE MYSELF!
Beside myself
A fuller version of the story:
I had arrived 10 minutes early to Ionie’s cafe in Sarasota, Florida on a beautiful Saturday afternoon (Jan. 17th, 2015)– a week after my birthday.
A dear friend and I had previously agreed (earlier that same day) to meet at 1pm there and though she is usually early, she wasn’t on this particular day. I don’t state this to judge, only to establish a precursor to my story.
The last time we had met there, we sat outside and I was prepared to sit outside, but when I arrived I noticed that both outdoor deck tables were full so, I proceeded inside to find a table. It was a fairly busy time there.
My friend arrived a few minutes after 1 (I did not note the exact time because I had been relaxing, listening to the peaceful music and drinking a beet juice drink and water).
As she arrived, we said hello and hugged briefly and she asked if we could sit outside. I told her the tables were full and she said, she’d seen an empty one on the way in (possibly so, things change of course). I said “There wasn’t one available when I came in”, and that I preferred to stay inside (I don’t know why, perhaps because I’d become comfortable). Having none of that however, my friend went back outside to hold the table and asked our server, if we could move my things out there.
I gave in (another precursor) and just as I sat down outside a VERY loud motorcycle went by and I proclaimed that it was the reason I did not want to sit there. She said, “We sat out here the last time”, and I should have said, “Yes, and I didn’t like it” and “since we sat outside before, let’s try inside today.” After all, I had invited her to join me – as I had been there several times by myself. But, I didn’t. I allowed myself to be manipulated, after all, I love change and am flexible to the desire of others (many times to my detriment though)!
Lessons learned
At any rate, the point of this writing this now is my logical attempt to put words around the experience of the FEELING that overtook me. When that motorcycle went by, I felt as though I was going to come OUT of my skin!! My entire nervous system shook. My hands and legs trembled. I went back inside of the cafe to reclaim the previous table with thoughts in my mind of leaving. But I wanted to preserve the friendship and felt if I reacted in a dramatic way, I might rock the boat. As well, I have written book chapters about “Connections” and “Being open to receive” so I opted within my mind to find a way to overcome my reaction, noting to mySelf in that moment that I may be overreacting.
How it ended
My friend had came back in and tried to reassure me that they had another table out to the side of the building (not on the street) where we could move the chairs from the other outdoor deck table in order to sit in a quieter spot. Thus, compromising (or giving in), we sat under a tree by the parking lot. It was a bit easier on my senses.
I awkwardly explained to her that I needed to calm myself. I sat utterly quiet. I repositioned my chair, made my body comfortable, and breathed for about the count of ten.
After settling in to the new outdoor spot, the conversation we had over the course of 2 hours, was very beautiful, engaging, and I even expressed to her how I was learning to handle events like what had just happened. I had felt my central nervous system was burned out, as I worked in another town (at that time) and had to wear headphones most everyday because of the city and office noise.
An emergency vehicle went by at one point and I expressed (in a bit easier way this time) that this also disturbed me. It mostly aggravated me (I put my fingers in my ears while the siren was sounded) because when they turned off the siren, I took my fingers out of my ears, then they immediately sounded the siren again! Ugh!! I rhetorically asked, “Why can’t they just leave it on until they get to wherever it is they’re going”?
When it was time to leave, we exchanged a hug and my friend genuinely thanked me for sitting outside. And in that moment I knew we would not have had our lovely visit if I had left earlier when I was mad over the initial irritation.
What I learned from this experience
Allowing this moment to be as it is and just be aware of it;
I must always reach for the best feeling thought and comfort myself;
Just breathe;
Touch an acupressure point or focus on one and breathe;
I may not always express or articulate my pain or displeasure appropriately, but I can at least let the person know that I need a few moments to center myself.
Later on that day, I recognized my emotional balance and growth. And that at no point in this experience, which I called an “assault on my senses” did I cry! Even just a year or so prior, I may have cried during, or after the experience, or when I would later recount the story to my husband. Hmmm… change is GOOD!
The next day I found this beautiful interview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ9UtuWfs3U
The lotus grow out of mud – you cannot grow a lotus on marble but in mud.
Suffering is mud to grow the flower of understanding and Love.
Meditate in every moment
Live in the here and now
Recite a mantra or not
The more people you sit with, the better for collective energy
I offer you the following FOUR mantras you can meditate with:
1) “Darling, I’m here for you”
How can you love if you aren’t there? You are not preoccupied with the past or future.
2) “Darling, I know you are there”
Use this to recognize the existence of the other person.
when your beloved one suffers use the third mantra:
3) “Darling, I know you suffer that is why I am here for you”
Simply your presence can give someone a lift.
Lastly, when you suffer and you believe your suffering has been caused by your beloved one – use the fourth mantra:
4) “Darling, I suffer. I am trying my best to practice Love, please help me.”
❤️🦋🌀
It seems simple.
This is also quite a beautiful lesson:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KopmSpe33Eg
On a deeper level, what really happened?
I learned that I am my perceptions. I learned what the true nature of “I” is.
Listening.
Perceiving.
Observing.
With Attention.
The real me is the “I” that is underneath all of the circumstances of my life.
In the moment of non-thinking is Attention.
Timeless, untouched by time. I before it becomes this or that. Just “I”.
My first guru of the Eastern arts and teacher, Ram Giri Braun, taught me this wonderful mantra in 2008:
“I am loving awareness.”
He said this is not for the mind, this is from Ram Dass. It is not meant to make sense. It’s about feeling something. Get in touch with YOU. Get in touch with the lovable YOU that’s inside of you.
Ram Giri taught me Open Attention and HeartSourcing.
You can learn about that too, here.
On Jan. 31st, 2015 I took a class at Suncoast Jin Shin Jyutsu with Michelle Giambra in Sarasota, FL. At the beginning of the class Michelle stated that, “Synchronicities abound.” And then another lady in the class said, “We love the synchronicities that abound here”! Beautiful!
Note: The first four letters in Michelle’s last name are, “G-I-A-M” like the online TV channel I love GIAM, that later changed their name to GAIA: https://www.gaia.com )
I learned there are ways to hold my body that will calm me, ease tension, and anxiety! Break-throughs!!
We Are All Connected. OM
Many blessings to you in ALL ways.

Limiting beliefs are thoughts you keep thinking, that probably sneak out in your speaking, that are your perceived limitations, and they limit you from moving forward in at least one area of life.
Limited perspective
After a year of working on my limiting beliefs – the ones I had already admitted to myself – I happened to hear myself say, “Nobody listens to me” while discussing something with a coworker. Aha! I’d just caught a limiting belief!
Nobody listens to me
It’s something I say over and over again, and think even more! It IS a limiting belief and it’s not true! People do listen to me, even if they don’t – in the moment – express the hearing of my message, or acknowledge that what I’m saying may prompt them to action, or change.
I stopped right in the middle of the conversation and explained to my coworker that I had to jot down my “aha moment.”
BEing still
Meditation has helped me become aware of my thoughts. Listening to myself, I can barely have a conversation anymore without really hearing what I say! Am I communicating my highest intention?
Aha moments are vitally important. I am always learning (from my own words) and love these type of profound teachable moments, which add serenity to my life!
I am an empath, so I must always be observant of my thoughts to know whether I’m taking on someone else’s stuff, or whether indeed, my thoughts and feelings are my own.
Now I know that anytime I start to go down the thought path of “nobody listens to me”, I can change it to “everybody listens to me”, or “everybody hears me”.
I’ll try that and see how other things change in my life. Now that’s a limiting belief worth sharing.
