Grounding in the Retrograde

The Power of Words

Part One – What is an Incantation?

At the beginning of this year I was told in a journey to work with magic and spells.

This did not appeal to me at all – sounds like witchcraft, evil intent and interfering with nature – and made me think of scary things like being burned at the stake. My deep Christian background rears its head and cries no, but my inner soul-spirit is once again prodded into observation, learning and reflection. Because you see, I have told spirit I am willing – I am willing to go on, to be uncomfortable with myself, to grow – but only in the name of love and healing, only in the light of wisdom and heart. Spirit is most obliging and thus I travel new roads of experience and understanding – sometimes a little like a frightened child peeking around the corner into a room full of warmth and light, afraid to see that it is safe and alright.

Ready to Heal

I have been struggling with health issues for the past year, and now a seeming escalation to accidents – as if the universe is more urgent about getting my attention – which I had thought I was giving to all this struggle.

This morning there was something different.

There was an end to struggling – even if only for a few minutes of meditation – I came to a place.

A peaceful place.

Are you ready to heal they asked?

I am ready I said.

If Recovery is Rebirth

Sickness … is Dismemberment!

The Darkness of Illness

As I come up out of a month of cough-racked illness, sickness, and little deaths, feeling the depth of breath refilling my lungs with lifegiving air, energy beginning to flow through my weak and worn limbs and a lightness about my whole sensation of being in my body, I realized that this illness, this sickness of body and soul, was in itself a dismemberment. In shamanism, spirit works with us – through journeys, dreams, revelations. These are clearer and more frequent the more we practice, meditate, celebrate, and dissolve ourselves into the hollow bones that can vibrate and resonate with the energies of wisdom and light that surround us all the time. Part of this creation process, this becoming, moving, changing, evolving, transforming is the challenging process of dismemberment, dissolution, deconstruction, and dis-creation that clears the way for new growth, more light, clearer vision, closer connection. The path of shamanism is not for the faint and half-hearted.

Birth Healing

It occurs to me, with all the birth healing that I do, that I have not shared my story, my learning, my wisdoms with you here on birth, life, and celebration.

When I work with someone in birth healing, the first place I go back to is their own birth

Whatever is remembered and whatever comes to light as we work together is where we begin. All birth healing begins with our own births. We must go back to our own entry point to be able to guide our new ones to theirs. Like it or not, we are intimately involved with the ushering in of new life – a powerful and sacred journey of arrival. As you can see from my own story below, birth healing can be done years after giving birth, but how wonderful to offer it as a gift to yourself, your newborn and your lives together from the start.

How my 12th Grandchild helped Heal my Sleep…

At now 70 years of age, I talk about healing a lot. This post is on Sleep Healing. I have written about setting healthy sleep patterns and habits before. This is a different look at healing the personal sources of sleep issues. Each of us is unique, our life experiences are unique, and our healings are unique and individual. No one size fits all!

The journey we are on here on this planet is pretty amazing. The lesson being taught me on a deeper level right now is about asking. When I truly ask, I am always blessed with a healing response. I don’t mean this religiously. It is a Spiritual Principle I am learning and will explain further on. Recently, responses have been very clear and quite close in to my asking. My latest ask has been about my sleep. As my Shamanic learning continues I am empowered and connected in new ways through journeying. There are openings, communications and travelings back and forth in the spirit world that are – I’m going to repeat myself – amazing – and always healing!

So on to sleep…

When working with me, some clients stay for a healing journey, some dip into the waters once or several times and are satisfied, and some are unsettled in their response to Reiki treatment and healing work – the temperature of change is not quite right for them at this time. I welcome all, whether for a one-time swim through the pools we find during Reiki and healing sessions together or for a longer journey into the light and shadows of self-healing. Yet the question is often raised and discussed in healing circles:

Why don’t we all run toward this wonderful thing called healing and dive right in? What makes us hesitate?

Healing for Broken Promises

A Simple Ceremony to clear Past, Present and Future

We make many promises, vows and contracts during our lives, consciously and unconsciously. We sometimes inherit family vows, either kept or broken, unknowingly.

Clearing the spiritual palette of old promises no longer needed or broken vows causing confusion can aide us in setting clear goals and following our chosen paths unhindered.
