Musings of Katherine Treffinger:
Spiritual Counselor, Mentor, Healer and Artist
"If it is only a dream, why is pain so real?" "A dream head struck against a dream wall causes dream pain. A dreamer is not cognizant of the hallucinatory fabric of a dream until he awakens. Similarly, man does not understand the delusory nature of the cosmic dream of creation until he awakens in God." Paramahansa Yogananda
"Deep Sea Diving", Oil on canvas, 36x48, $2600

"Whatever it is that you are wanting, find a way to give
it. That is how these healing sessions began. It works,
take it from me. Be generous with yourself toward
others."

"Confusion is a sign the mind has a hold of us. The
Truth is Omniscience, Absolute clarity. As we quiet
the mind we create space for clarity to arise."

"We always have choice, are we moving toward
Divine well being, prosperity and harmony or
toward the worldly disharmony? Where we are
putting our attention is the key."

"Let go of the stories of problems and ask that a
new good story be revealed. Manifestation will
follow the resultant shift in energy."

"Deepak Chopra suggests we ask 4 questions
in our meditation. Who am I? What do I want?
What do I love? What is my purpose. And don't
search for the answers, let them float."
May 10, 2011 "Just ask and it is given. That is a promise we were made. The Divine can and will get through to our life experience. We need to believe that promise and ask."
May 9, 2011 "Divine Grace, being the truth of all that is, is real and solid. Doubt, fear, and all negativity is smoke, cleared away by the cleansing breeze of knowing the truth."
May 7, 2011 "We always have the choice as to what we focus on. What we focus on with feeling for an extended period of time creates reality. Take the leap to be positive."
May 6, 2011 "Love is All there is, in every aspect of our experience. We are All connected through Oneness. All is possible. The truth is that All is perfect now."
May 5, 2011 "As we open to allowing the rays of Divine Grace to shine upon us we open the gateway to all well being, forgiveness, prosperity and peace. Shine on stars of light!"
May 4, 2011 "Yesterday when my partner finished his meditation I asked him 'Baba Kirby did you reach enlightenment?'. He said 'I am trying the free trial offer.' Laughter is good."
May 3, 2011 "A good tool for transforming difficult feelings is to simply stop the stories attached to the feelings and be aware of how the feelings are present in your body."
In Memorium- Kathy Schiffman- Tootie Photo by Sky Lanigan
When I was 29 I was told by the head of the Podiatry hospital in San Francisco that I had arthritis in my feet and that I had 2 more years and I would be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life. Needless to say I was devastated. The doctor also called my place of employment and told them that if I kept working the job (which kept me walking on cement) that it would cripple me even faster. So my boss canned me. So now I have lost my job. She told me to get an office job where I could remain seated. Very fortunate for me I was invited to come live on some land in Northern California that was completely off the grid and I could spend my time walking on dirt instead of cement. I was in quite a bit of pain so I went to the local health Clinic to seek advice. The second time I went there the waiting room was packed and the only place to sit was a wheelchair. So I sat there. Kathy Schiffman came into the waiting room with my file in her hands and called my name. I did not know Kathy, I knew of her as my friends were close to her. I started to get up and she said no stay in the wheelchair. I said but I can walk just fine. She shook her head and proceeded to wheel me to my room and on the way bumped me into walls and a cart and finally into the door jamb. When she got me into the room she spun the chair around leaned down and looked me in the eyes and said "Is this really the way you want to spend the rest of your life?" Kathy, who I would later come to know as Tootie had given me a HUGE gift, an awakening, I would remember for the rest of my life. We all have decisions to make and those decisions contain the seed of the power of manifestation. I could either take the bull by the horns and walk my way into a new reality or I could wheelchair through my life as a victim. Through the assistance of healers like Tootie and my own tenaciousness I healed my feet completely.
As I am now actively a healer once again I have told others the story of my experience with Tootie. Saturday I was talking to several people about death and how we feel about it and what we think the death experience is like. I found out that afternoon that Tootie had passed on that day. If it were not for Facebook I would not have known. I have not been in touch with her for a very long time. She was a brief relationship for me, just passing through my life, but she was one of the most potent messengers I have run into in my life. I am extremely grateful to her. She will be greatly missed by her loved ones, which is a large extended family. And I imagine her reveling in her new found freedom in the Light and Love I see her as inhabiting.
