Blog and Dissertation

Tomorrow is New Years Eve . A day of thinking, reflecting, and getting ready for the New Year. It is not a day of making a New Years' Resolution, as I wrote before, it is a day to make plans that you can stick to. Remember to NOT take anything out of your home from midnight New Year's Eve until midnight New Year's Day.

I have a dissertation to write, and I will need time to research, study, read, and write, so I am taking the blog down to once a week, at least while I write the dissertation. I believe in not just doing something, but doing it well. If I cannot do it well, I do not do it at all, I leave it to those who do. This gives me the time and energy to do it well. I want the paper to be accepted the first time that I do it.

The theme for the year 2011 to make sure that you are doing 100% of what you represent, what you say you are , and what you say you will do. Don't mislead, flat out lie, or scam. There are many in the metaphysical community that claim titles they do not have, and talents that do not exist in them. I always ask that you all check people out before you buy into their rhetoric . When you are on the other end, the theme is to ONLY use authentic, certified and licensed people for your teachers and services.

Check authenticity. There are certificates that reiki practitioners, and masters have. There are certificates that Healing Touch Practitioners have. I have a ministerial card, all ministerial practitioners will have a current card. Do NOT take any instruction in Native American spirituality, or way, from someone who is not Native, and check them out too. Use NAFPS to find people who are scamming by being fakes and phonies. This even goes for classes like what is now jokingly called the "money key" (and is listed on the NAFPS site).

Beware, be a smart consumer, be authentic, and demand authenticity. When you are spending your money, time, and energy, spend it wisely. Make sure that you are getting the best deal out there. Don't be afraid to take classes from multiple teachers, one may resonate more with you.

Make sure all metaphysical teachers are kind, giving, understanding, yet strong and firm with you. Make sure that they are no nonsense, not some flaky, "out there" person, while at the same time treat you as a student who wants to learn. They need to give respect to their students, and make sure they answer all their questions.

When you take on a Native American way of life, and learn form elders, they will not charge you a penny, and cannot. When you pay to learn ritual and ceremony of the Native American way, you are being ripped off. You can pay to learn history, or some other information, but the "way" is not charged for.

Real metaphysicians are not boastful, flamboyant, nor demanding. They are not in any way pushy or unkind. When you come across a person like this, run . There are MANY more of us out there who are trying to really TEACH the right way. There is no easy "step program", no attunement, no magic wand, to make you any better than you are now. It is all work, study, and being authentic, that makes things right.

Make sure that you are learning authentic things form authentic people. A sign, business card, title, or claim , or "uniform / costume", does not an authentic person make. Be a wise consumer.

See you next year!

Have a safe, happy and healthy new year full of abundance!

Love and Light

New Year' House cleansing

There is a tradition that makes its' way through a few different belief systems. It goes way back to pagan roots. You should never take anything out of your home on New Years' Day, unless you want it to always come out. This begins at midnight on New Year's Eve, through New Year's Day.

Taking out the trash is good....but do not take anything else out, at all. Not a thing. There is an energetic meaning to things, that we do not always see that makes us think, "well this is OK", or "I will just bless it, and it will be OK". That unseen energetic meaning can cause havoc when disregarded or used improperly. The Jewish way will tell you that the only reason to break any tradition, is if it will save a life.

So, if there is anything that needs to leave the house, make sure it is done before or after New Year's Day.

The other part of that is doing a house cleansing. Step one is cleaning the house (I heard so many of you just sigh and say...well I guess I won't be cleansing my house). Give it the best cleaning you can. You don't need to wipe down walls, but get all clutter put away and clean what is left. Too much stuff? Donate it to the Salvation Army or Goodwill.

Cleaning the house means cleaning out clutter. Hoarders are a perfect example of the unhealthy living caused by having too much. It not only is an EXCELLENT PLACE FOR NEGATIVE ENERGY (ESPECIALLY FEAR,INSECURITY, and HATE),to hide out and accumulate, but it is a HAVEN for negative entities. Clean it, get help if need be, but get it cleaned out.

Then go outside, and sprinkle salt (sea salt is best) on your doorsteps, and spray a salt/water combination around your windows. Do not spray it right on the window, unless you want a foggy view of the world all winter.

Re-enter the house and cleanse. You can use easy methods like putting a bowl of water and orange peels in the house, and then throwing it outside after the new year begins. You can use sage burning, or Reiki to cleanse the house. You can use all three, and more. You can even get a priest to come and do a blessing.

This will cleanse out stagnant and negative energy. When there is a strong negative issue, other methods, and people who know what they are doing should be called in . I have cleansed a few houses, and every one had an immediate and strong effect. There is a lot to it, but yet it is simple. It takes time more than anything else.

Positive energy, spirits, and entities will not leave due to salt, sage, or anything else that you will use, so a friendly ghost will not leave your home after this is done. It will also not scare away angels, guides, and positive feeling that you have put into your home.

Retrograde ends on the 30th, try to do the cleaning AFTER retrograde has ended, get all that nasty energy out at the same time.It only gives you a small window of opportunity, but try to take advantage of it.

Please email me if you have any questions.

So, don't take ANYTHING out of your house from midnight New Year's Eve, until midnight New Year's Day, clean, and then cleanse your home. The more cleaning energy you put into it, the better, and more powerful it will be.

This is just ONE New Year celebration , other cultures celebrate on other days. Try to celebrate as many as you can.

Following your heart and dreams

Many do not follow their heart and their dreams, and the reason for that is usually a "well meaning" friend or relitive who tells them all the reasons that it isn't a good idea. There is usually only one or two spouting the negativity, but that "fear" voice is always too loud and too clear for many.

I moved from PA to NV on my own, without a job promise, or friends in the area. I knew a couple of folks , but no friend's house to land at, or anyone to show me the neighborhood. I then moved to two places in NM, one in the counrty, and one in a small town. I would have stayed in NM, but work called me elsewhere. It is a beautiful state, and the people were wonderful.

I followed my heart and mind. I explored, I met wonderful people, and saw the vast beauty of several AZ and NM reservations. I have wonderful memories of that time...and still some old friends too.

I trusted my instincts, and followed them , always to a good place, and right where I needed to be at that time.People say I am brave, I don't know how "brave" it is. There are wonderful people all over this country, beautiful places to be seen, new traditions to learn.

Many of my clients get talked out of following their dreams. It is by another person , and always comes from a fear based place. They may be afraid the person will achieve more, or they won't see them again. Sometimes it is just pure jealousy (which is also fear based), because they never got to do what the "brave" one is doing.

When you look CAREFULLY at something and realize that is where you need to be, and what you need to do...BE THERE and DO IT. Don't go running off on romanticized journeys to nowhere, be resonable and safe...but do it! There is a reason that the experience came calling to you, go and find why!

ENJOY life, it is here to be lived.

and as always....do the right things for the right reasons.

Weclome back! New Year's affirmations

I hope that you all had a great weekend...Time to get back to work!
********************************************************************

Take the time this week to think about your New Year's CHANGES. People make, and quickly break "resolutions". The reason is because they just do it as part of the holiday spirit, they really don't have the resolve, or determination to make the change. Sometimes we just are not ready, and sometimes other things need to be in place before the change can occur, be permanent and successful.

So instead of making statements that you know you won't stick to for more than a day, take the time this week to really look back at the last year and see what is was that did not work well for you. What new things are you taking on? What old things are you revamping? Are you making a resolution each year to lose weight, and not doing it? Switch to something else, take a break, and you may find that your NEW change makes the weight easier to manage.

Then work it, remember how I say these things always take some type of "work"? They really do . People think manifesting is as easy as asking, not making sure they are ready, putting a picture on their wall, and then wondering why nothing happens. The usual mistake is that they do not do the work.The only people that benefit are the ones giving instruction in manifesting and charging good money for lessons, books, and CDs.

Start with the examining and thinking about what you want to achieve this year. You do not have to stick to one thing, but if you have trouble handling more than one thing at once, or are taking on something that is huge, or will take months to achieve, then just pick one.

Make a PLAN, yes a plan, you DO have to do the work. To get a better position at work you may have to :

apply for it
put in time
take a class
learn a computer program or skill
be a better employee (show up on time, take on extra work, etc)


Then , do the affirmations. Remember to keep them literal, simple, and direct. A good general one will be: "Help me to make positive changes in my life this year, and accept them as they come to me."

When you have specific goals, then state them in your affirmation.

KEEP focused and use something (or someone) to help you do that. Eating brownies every night won't help you with your weight loss.

Keep your goal in mind in other things that you do. Are there other aspects of your life that need to change to help you reach your goals? Do you need to change the atmosphere you are in, or your daily schedule?

Then work successfully towards your goal. Have another one ready too. This way when you reach one half way through the year, you can work on another. Do not make resolutions, make changes. Use affirmations and correct manifesting.

...and as always, do the right things for the right reasons!

Merry Christmas

May you all have a Merry Christmas.

I am going to take a break for the weekend. So much fun to be had with the kids, Matt, and the animals. We are all having a WONDEFUL time and I don't want to miss one moment!

So far, Matt however is the Yahtzee champ, and I need to try my best to dethrone him.....

SO ENJOY the holiday! I will see you all here on Monday the 27th!

Enabling

This morning my rabbit, for about the fifth time, managed to get onto a chest where my phone and some books are. The only reason she could get there is a chair has been moved to accommodate the Christmas tree. I gave her a ladder to books to chomp and an obviously delicious phone cord. At first I was mad at her, for about 1 minute, then I realized....she is a rabbit. This is what she does...chew. Her mission is life is only to be food for something else. TO do that, Mother Nature makes her eat, eat, eat. Then she is a fat , juicy rabbit for a hawk, fox, bear, wolf or coyote. That is basically it. So she eats, and then of course poops.....ah the life of a rabbit.

So , I was the enabler. Once I took that chair away, I took her destructive chewing ability away.

How often do we get upset at people for doing stupid stuff, yet we don't say a word. People are much smarter than rabbits and have more to do than be food, so we need to be tougher on them. We need to teach them. So many times we try to associate humans with nature. We are part of nature, but our human minds have taken as far from being a pure being. Deer, fish, birds, and rabbits do not have free will, an ability to think rationally and a conscience. We do. We have no excuses to act badly, nor to allow, or worse yet, enable others to do so.

Being an enabler is pretty much doing the same thing as the person who has an issue. We may as well say "Hey it's OK, let me help you ruin your life and everyone else around you."

Enabling is a terrible thing....so take the chairs away from the rabbits in your life. It really does make a difference.

A Christmas (or any other day) Lesson

People today are very outspoken about how "terrible" their lives are. Their lives really aren't" terrible", and where there are issues, many of them were self perpetuated. When I grew up I was always taught to have money saved for a "rainy day". Our "rainy day" money was never much, but a mishap would never put us into a bad situation, like foreclosure. My Mom made minimum wage or close to it all her life. I was telling Matt the other day how she brought a peanut butter and butter sandwich to work every day, for years and years. She claimed it was her Scottish frugality, maybe it was. I think it was by having parents who lived through the Great Depression.

Now people feel they need to have fancy lunches, living spaces, cars, and are living beyond their means. They forget what happened to their Grandparents and Great Grandparents when times were REALLY hard.

I have written before on the fact that people live beyond their means and it creates havoc. I have also written about charity being just that, and that it begins at home.It isn't a stage for you to stand on and say "look at the good things I am doing", the only reward should be you knowing that you did a good thing.I also have asked everyone to be tolerant and respectful of other races, religions, and cultures.I read a story yesterday that covered all these topics. It is a Christmas story, but it doesn't have to be.

So before you complain about being broke and how it is the government's (or anyone's fault but your own), or how you don't celebrate Christmas, so don't make me look at your Christmas tree, or tell how many charities you gave to in far away places this holiday season.....think about this:

During the Great Depression, a time when people really went without (without coats, shoes, food, shelter), there was a town in Ohio that received a great holiday blessing. One day in the newspaper, there was an ad that said a man wanted to make Christmas happier for everyone. It was 1933, and half the town of Canton was out of work. The ad was "signed" by B. Virdot. He said that if you lived in Canton and needed help with Christmas, write him, and he would send you a check for $5.00.

Now, $5.00 may not seem to be much, but in 1933 it was the equivalent of $100.00. Needless to say , this would solve a lot of problems for families during the Depression and help make Christmas a lot happier. His original ad said he would help 50-75 families. He ended up helping 150 families. No one knew who this man was. A young girl wrote to him saying that her family was not really living in Canton, but lived outside of town on a farm , and if he would send $10, she would clothe the whole family , buy Christmas dinner for everyone and presents. She got the $10.00

Many were families with 10 and 12 children, all with cardboard inserts in their shoes, and a will to work or do whatever they (legally) needed to in order to make some money.

So B. Virdot made 150 families Christmas day a happy one. He then just disappeared into history. The people and town recovered and life went on. One day in 2008 a woman gave her son a suitcase full of letters. He is a writer and she told him they were just "old papers". He read the letters all telling of hard times, starvation, and bare feet in the winter of 1933 Ohio. The names were not familiar to him, nor the person that the letters were addressed to. There were 150 canceled checks in the name B Virdot. His mother told him that B.Virdot was his grandfather. The name made up from the names of his daughters Barbara, Virginia and Dorothy.

His real name was Sam Stone, a Canton businessman. Not only did Mr Stone help those 150 families, and do it without recognition, not only did he not turn down a soul, but Mr Sam Stone was Jewish.Christmas was not a holiday he celebrated. Here is a man who did not live beyond his means, and was not hit hard by the depression, he gave locally, and without recognition, and he gave to people no matter what their nationality (he even gave to a lady who had moved there from Jamaica). All on a holiday that was not part of his culture and belief system! He knew it was important to his fellow townspeople, and he gave, from the heart without recognition, thanks, reward, or prejudice.

We may not all have the financial ability Sam Stone did, but we sure all need to have his heart!

There is only one person left living who benefited from B. Virdot's generosity. She is the only one , besides his family, who knows who he was. Even though he has long gone to his grave, he is remembered by at least one stranger.

Who can be more like B. Virdot, not only this holiday season , but all year long?

(The entire story is in the December issue of "Smithsonian")
