More Damage than Good

In the "comments" section from the last blog entry you will find an interesting situation described. My response is short and sweet. Now here is a longer version.

If anyone tells you that your healing is not working because you don't believe enough in what the practitioner is believing....run like the wind! Practitioners who do this sort of stuff to people are either ignorant or malicious. Having worked with energy systems for over 40 years, I can tell you that Universal Healing energy is, tatataDah!, UNIVERSAL!! The Universe doesn't care what belief system one has. It is there for all to access and will provide whatever is necessary for each and every one of us. It is indeed as simple as that.

Universal Healing energy does not concern itself with petty stuff like if we are Atheist, Catholic, Protestant, Islam, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan or the many thousands of alternatives that there are to Christianity. Universal Healing energy is there no matter what our beliefs, cultures, creeds, races, genders, ages and so on. For someone to say that if it doesn't work then you don't believe the right things is actually quite abusive and the kind of cult mentality that screws up the world in which we live. Since when does any healing modality that isn't working not get refined so that it will work? If it can't be refined so that it does work, then it gets scrapped for one that does work. The modality that was mentioned by my reader in the comments section has actually taken smatterings of ancient energy technologies, bastardized them, and called them their own. No wonder it doesn't work well! No wonder the only thing that they can think of is that it must be the "fault" of the one being healed if it doesn't work. This sort of idiocy infuriates me on personal and professional levels. Stuff like this breezes through town and leaves in its wake so many screwed up individuals who then need to seek other modalities to put them back together again that the rest of the local therapists end up feeling like all the work these people did for so long had a semi truck run right through it. Then it ends up being months before Humpty gets put back together again. In the meantime, these poor people have had to spend not just the amount of the tuition for the course, but then hundreds of dollars in repairs after the instructors have long since written them off as "non-believers". In my personal opinion, people should actually consider suing those who abuse them in such a way.

On this Thanksgiving Monday, I am grateful for all the therapists and actual Light workers who are out there to help those in the community who are ailing. I am also thankful for the sanity that is brought into the equation with the simple acceptance of Love in our lives.

Belief vs Understanding

People often ask me if they need to believe in anything in particular (such as a particular version of God, for example) in order for the healing work that I do for them to work. My answer is always "No."

I find it much more important to have experiences that lead us to understandings. This is always a much more thorough way to learn than is accepting beliefs that are just fed to us from childhood onward. Yes, I do believe in a Higher Being. Most often I relate to a Divine Feminine, but also a Divine Masculine. I don't, however, expect others to simply adopts these beliefs as their own. In fact I would worry if they did. What I believe is a result of experiences that have led me to understanding things in a particular set of ways. This then has become a way of my life.

Others need to find their own ways of life. We all like to belong, but what we understand in life is ultimately important in that it shapes who we become down the road. We can't adopt the beliefs of others just because they want us to. I remember someone asking me if I believed in Jesus. My answer was, "Having never met the man, I am not sure what I believe about him." A blank look of confusion came across the person's face. I then said, "I believe that someone by that name is reputed to have done some pretty spectacular things, but that is only here say for me until I see some evidence of such things." Another blank look. Then I said, "I don't, however, have any problem with what you chose to believe for yourself." Suddenly there was comprehension. But then the person began trying to make me believe in the same stuff. I had to put a stop to that quickly. I figured that if they were not wanting me to stuff my beliefs down their throats, then they had no right to try to do the same thing to me.

All's Good

Last night a friend of mine described a similar event in the dream time that I had the other night, which had resulted in the wounded back. We came to realize that the little boy in the dream realm is actually a dark entity, in allegiance with other dark entities. So when another friend removed the arrow from me, I was able to have clarity and track from where (or actually whom) the arrow had come. Now those ones have been vanquished and harmony continues to grow. All in a day's (or night's ) work. All is good.

Sometimes it is a Pain!

Last night I went on a journey to help a little boy who was being harassed by an entity. I got the entity into the light and was comforting the boy when suddenly I had an arrow in my back. I left when the boy ran off and I came back into my body, only to discover that this morning my back is hurting something miserable where the arrow went in. I never did see where the arrow came from. I imagine I might have missed a second entity, and all will reveal itself in time. But I find that there are sometimes physical consequences to helping folks through the dream weave. Sometimes we don't just bring back the good stuff with us. We also experience some of the after effects of the negative things we encounter.

I always look at it as opportunity to heal something further, that is after the initial, "Holy crap! My back is hurting!" response. So with the opportunity to heal, I understand that the arrow went in at a weak point in my aura. This weak point can now be healed seeing as how it has made itself evident to me. And once it is healed, I can go on and continue doing the ethereal healing work that I do at night. Until then, I will take the well needed break and work on myself. From the book of Trent, it is "easy schmeezy"!

Waxing Moon

The Waxing Moon holds with it the energy of potential. It is at this time of the month that we feel building within ourselves those things that we have been desiring for some time. As the moon grows in the sky, so our own energies grow within. This is why at the drumming circle last night we performed a very powerful ceremony, welcoming into our lives those things that we would like to build and accentuate within ourselves. Once the energy was given over to the universe, there was a huge white dome that radiated out and encompassed the city, then rippled forth and blasted into the stars. Totally cool, and even more so that a friend from outside the city happened to see the dome!

The next drumming circle happens to fall on a Waning Moon, which calls us to do yet another ceremony, this time releasing those things that hold us back in life. I can't wait to see what will happen with that one!

In the meantime, there is such a warm and loving community of drummers building in our fair city. Those who gather at a drumming circle, mine or anyone else's, find that there is a synergy that builds between kindred spirits and that, near or far, we always feel the loving energy that comes from each member of the circle.

Slow,slow,quick,quick,slow

It does indeed take two.....to Tango, that is! This week I learned the basic steps of the Tango and I discovered it to be one of my favorite dances! Now, understand that the Cha Cha and the Salsa are extremely cool, and that the Rhumba is pretty much the vertical expression of the horizontal desire, but none seem to hold a candle to the Tango. I get to be sensual and stuck up all at the same time. When we do the "promenade" and are walking through the steps, it looks a bit like a stallion is strutting his stuff. You know the type, preening his long gorgeous mane and all as he canters over, sticks his nose up in the air, and then kicks sand in your face as he gallops away, only to stop, turn and look back at you as if to say, "Am I not the most amazingly beautiful stud you have ever seen?"

Or perhaps this is too much information. Anyway, I had a blast last night and am very much looking forward to the first dance of the year and further classes.

In the meantime, I have discovered something else....the art of Chinese torture in the form of a buzzing sound that comes out of our return air vent in the bathroom every 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I believe my words to the caretakers where something to the effect of, "It is driving me frickin' mental, so please, for the love of God,could you find out what is making that noise and make it stop!!" After laughing at my dramatics, I was told that the folks who were working on the roof probably did something with the vent and that they would be back today to finish the job, so she would let them know about it and have them change whatever they had done so that the noise would stop. I am looking forward to some peace and quiet...eventually.

I am also looking forward to the drumming circle this evening. I am leading a Waxing Moon Cerremony,where we will be able to activate within ourselves the many things that we want to accomplish over the next month. And on top of that, we get to jam!

The Rhythm is Gonna Get You!

We just got back from the Community Drumming Circle led by Cathy Chicoine at the Oshun Centre in Saskatoon. This is a beautiful location for the circle to be held. The hexagon shaped environment with a vaulted ceiling is ideal for acoustics and energy flow. We had an excellent time.

I always find it amazing how the rhythm in a circle is so organic. The sound itself is very healing but the tempo will change and the subrhythms will flow in and out like ocean waves. It is quite beautiful.

I am looking forward to the next drumming cirlce that I will be leading as well. This will be on Tuesday the7th at the Aquamarine Healing Centre. This is going to be a Waxing Moon ceremony, with a Waning Moon ceremony to follow on the 14th.

I find the moons this month to be particularly powerful. The last 2 weeks have also had the "Disturbance in the Force" feel to them. Interesting and powerful shifts energetically, coupled with Mercury in retrograde, has made for a roller coaster ride for many. The good news is that we are now on the other side of it all.

May the Force be with you!
