Recently I have experienced a considerable opening in my
healing work and find that I am bringing through a much
more powerful transmission of healing and receiving of
information. I have also found that there is very little if
any difference whether I am working in person or from a
distance. I do laying on of hands, with this touch I am
clearing, unblocking, aligning and balancing the energetic
and light bodies, bringing these systems into more
embodiment of the physical. Everything is energy and thus
all healing can take place through working on this level.
When I do a distance healing I close my eyes and the
person's energetic body is right with me. Some of my
clearest information about a person comes through when I
am doing this work.

I am very intrigued by what 'healing' looks like in different
instances. It is all transformative, which does not surprise
me as that has always been my 'medicine', sometimes
people experience an instant healing, sometimes they wake
up the next day filled with the emotions that lie at the core
of the disharmony they are experiencing. That makes sense
to me as the 'pain body' (Eckhart Tolle's term) is an
energetic body and will be matched by the manifest body.
There is no healing the manifest without bringing the
energetic into balance first. I have heard that according to
'Hands of Light'author Barbara Brennan the body can take
3 months to make a shift in response to a healing in the
ethereal body. I was wondering if the length of time has
anything to do with the momentum it takes to create the
'problem', for example an injury takes little momentum
where as cancer takes years and tremendous momentum.
Then there is the level of realization and the willingness to
release into a higher vibration.

I think of all manifestations of 'disease' and 'injury' as gifts
through which we can transform and free ourselves if we
use them. I might not have ever found it on the spiritual
path if I had not contracted Hepatitis many years ago. I
most likely would not have had this recent opening had I
not seriously broken my ankle. It is still a grand teacher.
I am not saying we need to have something happen to
move us forward, but if something does and we open to
its' lessons rather than falling prey to victim thinking we
have an incredible possibility to become freer.

Expansion and Resistance

"Carnival" Oil on canvas, 40x30, SOLD

Yesterday's realization:

All figuring it out is resistance.
All resistance is attachment.
Expansion and resistance are the only choices.
Expansion arises out of stillness.

Realization, Expansion, and Oneness

"Covenant IV" Oil on canvas, 60"x48", Collection of John and Pamela Langley

Lately I have been going through many wonderful changes spiritually,
moving at a speed I have never moved at before. I can only believe
this is because the collective is zooming ahead in consciousness. I
also have a friend that is one of the 'Crystalline' people that have come
in to join us and move us along, we are very close, and I am witnessing
as she rockets her way into new levels of consciousness. It has been
rubbing off on me and I have had my share of spiritual realization lately.

The other night as I lay in bed for the night I had the realization of our
Oneness with all and it has shifted everything for me. This is not a new
concept for me but I went beyond concept and realized it. Oh dear, now
I have gotten myself in deep water as I have to talk about it.......... OK
so we are all One, an ever expanding One, you and I are not 2 separate
people, that is an illusion. We exist as a field of consciousness and whatever
information is available in this field is available to the All. Gives new meaning
to the collective unconscious doesn't it? Also gives new meaning to know
thyself, cuz thy self is the All. As my friend said the old new paradigm says
we pull in our mirrors in other people. This paradigm means there is no where
to pull anyone from we are already there together. Our realization and energy
(created by feelings), defines our experience in relation to our Oneness. I
thought about people I had experiences with in my life, good and bad and
saw that I was One with them and that the experience of bad came from
resistance to the expansion and the good was primarily feeding the expansion.
Trippy! Of course this Oneness is not just people, it is everything. This chaos
we live in is all One, all in perfect harmony. Everything that is going on is the
One experiencing it's own diversity.

There is no death of the Oneness, it is eternal, but there is death and regeneration
within the oneness, which the Oneness is not aware of. Think of our skin cells,
continuously dying, sloughing off, and regenerating, that is the experience of death
in the Oneness. It is all about regeneration and expansion. Sci fi don't ya think?
Very Matrix. Its a good thing the Oneness is Love.

I hope I made sense.

Intuition

I have been following my intuition with something lately
and it has me feeling rather 'out there'. I ran into this
collage last night that I did years ago about this very
issue. Feeling out there in following my sense of inner
guidance is a familiar feeling. I have been on this road
too many times to even remember. I still don't like it,
never have. It always pans out to be the true and needed
path, but in many ways I feel unrooted, floating around
in the cosmos, releasing the need to know or control.
So I stay in the present and find that in each moment
everything is just fine, in fact it is really good. That
hasn't always been the case. I've had to learn how to
create this reality of really good I am experiencing and
also how to stay in the moment with it. Yikes what a
path this is!

Intending Happiness

"True Celebration" Collage, Collection of Rachel Schlueter

I have just returned from a wonderful trip to Portland, OR.
The day before I left I had a conversation with my friend Joe.
I was asking him about his intentions as his life is rockin' and
one to celebrate. These are his intentions:
I WANT TO FEEL HAPPY.
I WANT TO FEEL CREATIVE.
I WANT TO HAVE CLARITY ABOUT WHAT IT IS I
WANT TO HAVE.

I added:
I WANT TO FEEL PROSPEROUS.
So I started saying and FEELING these intentions as I drove.
While I was there I handed art over to a high end furniture
store to sell, I was placed 'under consideration' with a gallery
for a show and I sold 3 pieces of art at the show I am currently
in. I had a great time with friends, was treated to lunch twice
and just generally felt very happy and clear.

I am going to give the intentions a lot of credit.

Deep Sea Diving

"Deep Sea Diving" Oil on canvas, 36"x48", $2200

I am sorry I have been so negligent of this blog of late, I have
been doing some personal deep sea diving. I am going through
a lot right now as I am trying to get free of something in my life
and it is all encompassing. I am digging down to the depths of my
being, swimming through the quagmire, digging in the mud, all
while sitting on my couch. I wish I could do it and paint but this
time it is not to be, so I sit in my studio and stare at my painting.

Wednesday I am going to Portland to do some art supply shopping
so I think I will be absent the rest of this week.

When I get through this I am certain I will be refreshed and ready
to post with a new fervor.

Happy Solstice!

Always A Surprise

I am going to be a bit mysterious here as I feel it is important
to keep the actual facts out of the story. They are not so
important. I made a decision a while back. I kept wanting to
act on it, feeling rather impatient. My guidance kept telling me
to wait. As often happens even my most enlightened friends
were pushing for me to take the bull by the horns and go for it.
This process has happened so many times in my life that I now
know to absolutely trust my guidance and know that something
will be revealed to me.

This week has marked 9 months since I fell and seriously broke
my ankle and I knew the birth was due. Sure enough, the
revealing happened and it was nothing I could have ever imagined,
not in my wildest dreams. It is always a surprise, the revealing that
is, when I hand it over to the Divine. I was telling a friend and she
completely agreed that you can never guess what will unfold. We
joked that if we did guess Divine intelligence would change the
revealing. It certainly is an adventure and a mystery. Still is, even
though I know the direction, I have zero clue how it will all turn out.
But then how much fun would that be?

Finding My Way Back

"Nepal". Oil on canvas, 40"x30", In Collection

Sorry for the lapse in postings. I have been getting my
art finalized for a show and delivered, and have been
picking up other art. I have been enjoying my time on
the road in this process. I have been listening to Abraham-
Hicks and driving. I bought the CD set of The Vortex
and have, for the most part, really enjoyed it.

I have been feeling out of the stream, not lined up with
my Self lately and have been finding my way back. It has
been an interesting mix of Tolle and Hicks that is helping
me find my way back. I am listening to the stillness as I
stay in the present (which has been so easy as I drive
through the Spring lushness of the countryside of Eastern
Oregon and Washington. As my negative responses to the
things that are testing me arise I have been going to Abraham.

In these CDs they talk about things that are unpleasant to
us in our lives as contrasting events in which we find
what we don't want so we can define what we do want and
focus on what we do want. The problem we have is we focus
on the problem and try to figure out what we should do about
it. This creates more problems because we are feeling the
problem and thus vibrating the problem. We are asked by
Abraham to vibrate what we do want.

So here I am listening to the stillness, staying present, and
intending to vibrate at a higher level that is in alignment with
my highest possibilities. Stay tuned.

Ritual

I was speaking with my dear friend Joe yesterday,
who is presently visiting Bryce Canyon National Park
in Southern Utah. I needed to get clear about the
editing on my brochure. I had it layed out and printed
a sample and it was WAY too wordy. As I edited it
and refined what I felt was the essence of what I
wanted to say I started feeling I was narrowing down
the people who would relate to it. He threw something
back at me something I believe I have said to him many
times over the years. I needed to think of the creation
of the brochure as a ritual, refining and initiating what I
want to pull in and the energy I want to put out. Who
knows if the brochure is even really a brochure? Maybe
it is a totem, that will either get published and read or
as some totems, get buried in the ground in order to initiate
the perfect outcome.

Life on the spiritual path is always full of surprises. I can't
even pretend to know anything and I like that. As
Joe says "They don't call it a mystery for nothing!"

More Transformation

The last few days I have been at it again, stripping away
the masks. I was depressed and there were no stories
running around in my head. It was a new phenomena. As
I think I said in an earlier blog post my mind has quieted
lately and that has been a joy. But here I was, depressed
and quiet. Weird. I stopped every time I wanted to make
a story of the depression and just hung with the silence.
Then my friend Tara recommended I sit and ask what the
depression wanted to teach me. What a strange experience
that was. I sat and wrote and felt like I was channeling. In
fact the voices of my ancestors, the female side of my lineage,
were talking to me, telling me their fears for me. They were
close to old fears of mine so they were easy to take on. The
other strange thing that happened was that as soon as I realized
I was being projected on (I mean, supposedly) the depression
completely lifted, gone. Wow. Now that is to me all the validation
I needed that I was on the right track. Cool. You never know
what stripping away the masks is going to look like.
