The holidays are a time of warm feelings, family get-togethers. A time to reunify loving relationships.

They can also be a challenge.

People who are normally not prone to throwing energy tantrums can find themselves doing so. They may feel overwhelmed with feeling ‘not enough’ — not enough time to finish the shopping, write the cards, plan the meals, prepare for travel or visitors.

Crowded roadways, long lines and frenzied shopping can lead to emotional outbursts. Road rage can take over a person like entity possession, and be carried from the car into a store or home.

Metaphysics has long held that your thoughts and emotions, whether spoken or unspoken, even written, can transmit an unseen but tangible energy that can affect your mental and physical well-being. When these thought-feelings carry an emotional punch, they can be as real as physical muggers, out to do harm.

Miscommunication happens through email

If you’ve ever been the object of emotional outburst, whether by someone you know or don’t know, you may find it leaves you feeling fragile. Even the internet has become another playing ground for what you might call ‘emotional muggers’.

Who are the emotional muggers online? Those who hide behind their perceived shield of either anonymity or distance, tend to ‘jump out’ of their dark corner to surprise their victims with scathing or demeaning email or forum comments and then run.

The internet world calls them flamers, trolls, or just plain cranks. They seem to be looking for ways to be offended no matter how you try to reason with them.

And if you do, you may find yourself feeling offended when normally you don’t have this problem. What’s going on here?

Are you who you hang with?

Just as in a physical community gathering, you come to know by experience those who have the habit of finding fault in almost everything, or seem to delight in repeating every perceived offense by others. Then there are those whose attacks are more overt.

To stay and even just listen can allow the negativity to steal your energy.

Silently joining in such discussion, or wondering what they might say about you behind your back, is not as mild as it seems. If you are sensitive, it then becomes about dealing with the emotional poltergeists or thought-form entities you may have picked up.

They can continue to plague you if you allow them

Normally such ‘crank’ or ‘flaming’ behavior is easy to spot, in physical gatherings or on the internet. And either way, if you engage with this energy, even by defending yourself, it can leave you feeling as abused or exhausted.

Your only defense is to disengage.

Better yet, don’t engage at all. Preserve the precious commodity of your energy by not joining in the negativity to begin with. Move on to another page or away from the computer. Physically walk away from haters, maligners, gossip mongers.

If you can’t just walk away, count to ten

What if you yourself feel rather passionate about an exchange? Can those who’ve pushed your emotional buttons be your teachers, or is your aim to be their teacher? Have they asked for your opinion or help?

Before deciding, you can condition yourself to respond by breathing through any emotional energy sent your way. Just do that until you know what–if anything–is the best response.

Use that moment of deep breathing to remind yourself that, whatever the provocation, you don’t have to be right. In fact there is no right or wrong opinion. It’s only yours or another’s perception that makes it so.

If you are still tempted to engage in a flaming physical or internet exchange, stop and ask yourself what are the possible ways the other person or persons can perceive your message. Ask why you really want to deliver it.

It your intent to help or harm? To hurt or heal? To shame or support? Ask yourself if it will make you feel better about yourself, or if any perceived control is even worth the loss of energy and maybe even public face.

Or is your message one to discuss the issue as two mature people who respect each other? Is it a simple acknowledgment of blessing?

With all communication, even if you intend to take your ego out of the equation and look for a way to find common ground, the other person may have no interest in this. Rather than continuing a futile conversation, you may decide to drop it.

If you do, it might help to remind yourself that this is really about another person who is feeling rather passionate about something and unable to control themselves. They may need your blessing, even a silent one.

Still arguing with psychic poltergeists?

If you still find yourself having a mental ‘conversation’ with your attacker, find time in a quiet place to heal the energy within and without. Simply breathe for five minutes.

That’s it, nothing more. Don’t worry about the thoughts. If they come back just breathe them out of your body.

Five minutes can seem a long time. But after a while you will find you are more engaged with the good feeling of your body. You can use this warm feeling to even recall a happy moment that always makes you smile.

Feel your energy field filling with that warmth. Realize you are activating your own unlimited and unconditional energy frequencies of love.

Then resolve to let go of the situation. Mentally tell the other person, ‘I release you to your good’. Feel the power of the light of your own breathing filling your aura with relief and soothing light.

Visualize or think of that light just dissolving any residual polterguiests or thought-form entities you may have picked up. If you’ve engaged in any actual or mental arguing, think of or see the scene dissolving in the field of light you generate with your breath.

The Gift of Self-Love

If you are sensitive and want to learn more about how to heal with emotional energy, I highly recommend Dr. Judith Orloff’s book, Guide to Intuitive Healing (my affiliate link to Amazon). Dr. Orloff is a renowned expert in emotional healing, and can help you identify if you are an ‘emotional empath’.

She also helps you find ways to help yourself if you are overwhelmed by the world’s insensitivity. You can learn more now in her video on how to stop absorbing other people’s energy:

Of what use are the almost trite metaphysical or law of attraction platitudes you hear, like ‘thoughts are things’, if you are faced with having to move from a particularly difficult life challenge but you can’t seem to do much about it? Or what if you feel stuck and you just want a breakthrough method that directly addresses your situation? Or if you’ve been on a ‘plateau’ and feel ready to escape through the ‘glass ceiling’ that sometimes seems to keep you from even knowing how much more there is to life?

Releasing the Negatives

I have asked myself these things, especially when working with energies that seem to come back packaged in new wrapping. They are gifts in disguise, as tests usually are. But at the time they sure don’t feel like gifts. And to just hear that you can heal your life isn’t exactly helpful when you are in the midst of turmoil.

Here’s what I recommend, something that can heal your life: take a safe, simple home course that is guaranteed to help you gain true happiness and emotional freedom. Something that uses these same principles, ‘thoughts are things’, but shows you how to change those thoughts in ways that change the way you experience your life.

Even if I wasn’t a member of the affiliate program for the course, I know these principles do work. And I am pleased to know that, if for any reason after six months you find otherwise, the seller gives your money back.

Does this sound too good to be true? That’s what I said. But I took the course, and compared it with another well-known course I had previously taken–and that cost hundreds of dollars more–and found that this one does offer a break-through method that works easily.

For a fraction of the cost of the other well-known release method, this one helped me create the mindset where now my thoughts that are things I want. It’s simple to do, anywhere or anytime, and empowered me to make better choices in the moment. You don’t have to travel to take the course, you can take it at home, and fit it into your life.

I was pleased to find that this technique delivers powerful results now, not years from now. And others I have recommended this course to have also found it to be effective and freeing.

It’s quite a clean system: in the time you set aside to simply listen to the CDs and answer the powerful questions that release the negatives, you realize that things that have ‘hung around’ too long are released. Gone. And this is not hypnosis or other brain-wave technology.

The package comes specially priced now, with free shipping and other worthwhile bonuses.

The best part is, it comes with a spectacular guarantee from the makers. It’s a nice extra, just having this cushion to reassure yourself. This kind of guarantee doesn’t often come with courses costing even three or more times the price of this one.

I’ve studied with a Naturopath, and I’m skeptical about books promising things like the secrets of healthy living.

Well, this one shocked me. Because many of the things I’ve taken for granted about health have just been exposed as myths. I felt for its simplicity, this could be one of the most important books I’ve read on self healing. I am already making some changes for my own wellbeing.

I don’t take to things like this lightly, especially books that promise the secrets of healthy living. There are tons out there. And my training as a practitioner makes me cautious.

Plus, I haven’t got the patience to do the time-consuming things you read in these kinds of books, or even in popular health magazines. Who does? Yet I discovered how easy it is to make the correct changes and take care of them right away. I was able to digest what I read and realistically customize the information to meet my needs.

I know taking supplements is good for you if you are taking the correct ones. You can read about that anywhere. But I didn’t know some of the new research. Like too much Omega 3 could kill you. Whoops… well, that makes sense.

But all those commercials about drinking down that probiotic yogurt — watch out. Now that’s one of the secrets to healthy living the yogurt drink ads don’t tell you.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Body builders may also be hurting themselves with too much protein. Maybe you know someone who is overdoing it. This is information they can use.

And anyone taking too many vitamins may put their well-being at risk–I thought I knew which ones to be careful of until I read this book. But, surprise: there’s one vitamin that’s supposed to stop cancer.

Oh yes, and there’s a correct amount of water. And just what is the truth about tap and mineral water? I thought minerals were good for you…

Did you hear about the common food from Britain that can cut your chances of heart attack by up to 50%? Or the drink from Italy that can cut Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by as much as 60%? And that there’s a little vegetable to rocket your immune system?

Looking to lose weight: I could use a few surprise secrets to healthy living for battling fat. They’re in the book, too.

Chocolate seems to be getting good press these days–but which kind is good for you?

Usually when I read a book about secrets of healthy living I get overloaded. And unless it’s something I can honestly see myself doing, I’m bored before I finish.

But this book had me from the start. And what I like about it is the 90-day trial and risk-free guarantee. It also comes with some worthwhile bonus books, which are full books and not little pamphlets.

I’ve already made a couple of changes that helped me right away. So I encourage you to check this out yourself, there’s nothing to lose.

I always remembered having lucid dreams of flying with my late brother, Geoffrey, when we were children. He told me before he left us that he still remembered our shared flying dreams.

Little did we know that our childhood adventures in dream lucidity had served to prepare us for a rescue mission. Something we had no way of knowing would come. It took us to that point, near the end of his life, where what at first seemed like uncharted places in a mysterious landscape were instead the land we played in, between sleeping life and waking dreams.

I’ve been interested in what happens in sleep, and the mind in general, for as long as I can recall. I began to study books on analyzing dreams, lucid dream meditation and brain science as early as my preteens. I found a couple books on my father’s shelf on the mind, and later I ran across some in the health food store on Western lucid dream studies in the West. I also found one on a boyfriend’s shelf that was about Tibetan teachings on the yoga of dreaming. I was fascinated how each system saw the dream state as a means of understanding how perception works.

Flying in Our Dreams

But when my brother Geoff and I dreamed together, we were very young and ‘untaught’. We weren’t old enough to worry about analyzing dreams. We just held each others’ hands as we fell asleep. (We shared the bottom bunk of our bed, too small for sleeping on top). We told each other that we would dream together and remember to tell each other we were dreaming and could do whatever we liked. And that’s what happened.

We laughed flying through the house, up and down the basement and attic stairs, and then going through the roof to the land of dreams. We talked about how we were dreaming together in our dreams, and when the night was over, we bounced into the bed just as our rooster crowed. It was more the bouncing of the bed than the rooster that woke us. We would laugh about our dream lucidity before waking up Mom for breakfast.

We remembered what we saw, even our mother asleep in front of the TV and our dad reading. We didn’t share our experiences with the uninitiated, so we were never taught by our elders or anyone else that this dream traveling business was ‘not real’ or ‘normal’. I learned watching how Geoff was teased about ‘Timmy’, his guardian, so I never shared about mine.

We both had visits with our guardians for a long time, beyond the time that children usually are told they are not real and to ‘forget’. We shared later as adults that we still saw them and others. Geoff was a member of the local rescue team and operated the jaws of life, a machine that opened car wrecks so crews could rescue the accident victims trapped inside. He had many miraculous experiences with beings that my mother told us were angels. We just knew them as friends of our guardians who little resembled the angels she showed us in our catechism books.

Hearts in Synch Out of Time and Space

Our shared dreaming ability came back vividly during the time of my brother’s passing at age 45. He was out of town and alone on the East coast; I was on the West coast. At almost 8:00 p.m. Pacific Time, I fell to my knees and experienced sympathetic heart pain. I looked at the clock and knew this was not my heart, but a connection to someone who was in trouble.

I jumped in my car, did mantras all the way without remembering how I got home. Some very vivid lucid dream meditation was happening while I continued doing my mantras. I felt I accelerated them to the speed of light, my outer reasoning was that this would save him. But they did put me into a deep trance where I ‘met’ my brother to help him through the difficult realization that his life was ending too soon.

I knew from the moment I fell to my knees that Geoff was the one having the heart attack, though I kept denying it even as I found him in this strange land that seemed like dreaming. I learned later the authorities only found him and contacted his wife about three and a half hours after he collapsed.

At almost 11:00 p.m. Pacific time he appeared in an almost solid dream-body, like the one he and I wore when we flew as children. He just showed up in my living room as I was giving the mantras. He thanked me, and when I dazedly told him I would phone him later he laughed joking that he wouldn’t need a cell phone where he was going.

I felt okay after he disappeared and continued the mantras, a part of me dreading the phone call I knew would come. My sister phoned me an hour later, and my peaceful trance state was ripped apart by her confirmation: our brother was gone from this world.

The coroner’s report stated it was a few minutes before 11:00 p.m. Eastern time that Geoff was stricken with the heart attack and went into a coma, and almost 2:00 a.m. Eastern his time of death. Those times correlated with the Pacific time when I fell down clutching my own heart and entered a lucid dream meditation with him, and then later with the time he appeared to me in my living room in California to say goodbye. My cardiologist later confirmed that I was okay and had not suffered an attack; he offered no medical opinion on what caused this para-normal heart spasm.

Dreams are More than Archetypal Symbolism

So, do people need to learn how to travel in light bodies during lucid dream meditation? Or is it natural, nothing to be concerned with? If natural, it may be a good thing to cultivate. Maybe there will be more research to explain it or offer ways it can help us. Through these experiences I have refined a method for analyzing dreams that offers more than archetypal symbolism, using it as part of my healing process.

Tibetan lamas teach lucid dream meditation, including Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, who is a master of the Dzogchen meditative tradition of Tibet and has a CD set on dream yoga that I highly recommend. Dr. Stephen Laberge, who conducted research for 20 years at Stanford University, also teaches methods for becoming fully conscious in the dream state. His first book continues to be a best seller.

I advise clients to try lucid dream meditation as a form of creative self healing. Meditating on an ideal before sleep brings peaceful rest even if you don’t recall the dreams. I journal my dream recall, after telling myself while still waking that I will remember.

Do I still think about dreams of flying, lucid dream meditation, and daytime nightmares of dying coming true? If so, I smile; Geoff’s rescue had a happy ending after all. We connected again before his burial. I was on board a flight East when he began dictating his experience from the moment of the attack until the moments after the cord broke.

I smile as I also re-read my treasured books by Victorian travelers to Tibet who visited before the monasteries and so many holy people were destroyed. These authors, Nicholas Roerich, Baird T. Spalding, Alexandra David-Neel, and others, wrote spectacular tales about Tibetan lamas with yogic powers. I especially loved the stories of the lamas who trance-walked across the plateaus almost flying as they did. People saw them levitate while walking in these states.

I smile, too, remembering my own lucid dream meditations while living in the Rockies, though I tend to dismiss them now as having been induced by the altitudes. My hiking buddy and I once saw an extraordinary couple of youths on a steep climb to the Pine Creek Mountain peak. They were practically flying by, waving and calling out greetings. They wore light clothing and sandals, without hiking gear or supplies, not even water bottles. We were about halfway up from base camp; everyone else we encountered–young or old, in great condition or not–were as labored as we were by the challenge of this climb.

My friend and I were wide-eyed, too breathless from the ascent to comment. The mysterious youths continued chattering and bounding merrily uphill until they were out of range.

Trance-Dancing Elemental Lamas

I once saw mule deer who leaped down, right off sheer mountain cliffs, appearing as if flying head first. They looked like four-footed, trance-dancing elemental lamas, moon-walking off the vertical rock-face. Even though they were racing, they appeared the way blades do in a fan that seem to stop, mid-motion. They made it safely to the bottom, miles from where I peered over the edge; there they continued to race on more flat terrain.

A visitor to the area told me he saw a robed man walking very rapidly up the hill, cross the highway toward his car. Without missing a step, the mysterious man reached inside the car window and touched my visitor on the back of the neck, and continued to fly up a steep cliff behind the general store. These are rugged foothills of the wilds, sheltered under the shadow of the steep Absaroka Mountain Range formed the Eastern corridor along the high desert valley. There seemed to be no logical destination for this visiting lama, I wasn’t aware of any homes in those steep foothills.

My visitor’s reaction? He told me he felt anger at the audacity of this robed man to touch him, but marveled at his speed and flying gait. He said he jumped out of the car and gave chase but the robed man disappeared up into the foothills.

I received a letter from this visitor, telling me that as a result of that encounter, he was healed of severe chronic pain. I knew he suffered with from a head and neck injury for years. He told me that for five days after that visit he saw a large red hand print on his neck where the man touched him; he claimed it looked burned. Over those five days the mark faded, just like the old pain. He later confessed he began reading books on subjects he used to laugh at whenever he saw me read them.

Now, 20 years later and living at sea level in the vast crowded humanity, I encounter no flying youths or deer, and hear no tales of adepts who trance-walk through the area healing our tourists. I still practice my informal method of dream yoga. I also journal, not usually about the dreams but about what I plan to create, and I’m often rewarded with creative problem solving ideas. Lately I’m playing around with other techniques for remembering and working with dream lucidity. It’s partly what reminded me of all this.

Pondering The Power of Mind is a Satisfying Mystery

As I think about lucid dream meditation, sorting through memories of shared dreams of flying and realizations of the impossibility of dying, I smile. I still think the power of the mind is something worth pondering, having learned no more from all my books than I knew when I began this journey.

But mostly when I think of lucid dream meditation its with wonder, I first recall how my brother Geoff and I flew easily through the house as children, recognizing full well that we were dreaming together and recalling every detail. And, even without firm answers to age-old mysteries like ‘what and where is consciousness’, I’m so glad that my brother and I found each other one last time. I’m thankful we got to share that final adventure of a lifetime before he left to rejoin his real dream-self.

Here’s a video I sometimes view as a prelude to lucid dreaming meditation or healing imagery. It can feel like a waking dream, part of us here, the other flying through other realms…Here are some of the words from the visual poem set to music by Yani:

“You are my adoring dream motivator
I am the dream flyer
You are my wings
Living in two, winging in a sacred oneness
Under your wings, shadows of my serenity
My soul freely, sings, dances, sighs…”

Have you contemplated your spiritual self improvement plan for next year?

Here are 7 questions you can ask yourself:

1. What will I accomplish with my intentions for 2009?

You can begin by thinking of a few things or experiences you would like to have during the next 12 months.

I advise that you think about having at least one clear, simple desire for your life’s overall happiness, plus at least one intention in each of these life areas (or others that are important to you):

1. Spirituality
2. Generosity
3. Home
4. Relationships
5. Health and Fitness
6. Career
7. Recreation
8. Finances
9. Hobbies

This list suggests at least 9 life-specific intentions, plus when you fill them in, you have your overall intent for the next year.

2. How will I make my life more meaningful in 2009?

If you follow only one exercise from my list here, this first question is the one I suggest that you contemplate and work with. Because it’s the meaning you find in your life that forms the basis for your happiness or fulfillment.

What does your day-to-day experience bring you in spiritual or emotional terms? What habits most effect your relationships and enjoyment for you and for your loved ones, family and friends? How can you more objectively observe your experience of your daily or moment-to-moment life?

In other words, what’s your most important reason for being?

And … how will you identify with this realization in the year ahead?

3. How will I increase my awareness of my life in 2009?

This is the classic “what is the meaning of life” question.

It’s not meant to be answered specifically, but to get you to think and feel about what happens to you in the moment. Catch yourself unawares, in the midst of any activity and notice your feeling about what you are doing or thinking of while you are doing it. Catching yourself in the moment is closely tied to identifying how you are enjoying your life – it’s not so much what is happening but how you respond to what is happening that determines your enjoyment or experience.

Evaluate your capacity to observe the moment. Then imagine what your awareness can become throughout the year, and by its conclusion on December 31, 2009.

Finally, set one or more intentions to increase your moment by moment’s awareness over the next year.

4. How will I increase my enjoyment of each moment in 2009?

There are an unlimited number of ways to ask yourself this question. Zen teaches that there are “10,000″ states of mind–an arbitrary number perhaps, but one chosen to give you an idea of the potential each moment holds. We all know that how you think and feel about each moment is crucial to your overall feeling of well-being.

I speak in terms of moments because chances are your attention span is growing shorter. If you are like most people, the events of life as it has evolved by 2009 will create an ever-increasing demand on your attention than events did even a couple of years ago.

So what are you going to do to simplify your life over the next year and keep your focus clear and open to the joy present in each moment? How are you going to make your life easier, not out of laziness, but necessity–to prioritize what’s truly important and make changes in your thinking and feeling processes to allow you to enjoy those key areas you are identifying here?

5. How will I make my life more free and experience more of its potential for increasing my well-being in 2009?

Taking stock of your life’s purpose or mission for the foreseeable future is more necessary than you may realize. Again, there are many sources clamoring for your attention, and unless you are clear-sighted about what you wish to experience, you will allow the many-faceted glitter all around you to grab hold of your energy and shape your life for you, perhaps in ways you never desired.

How will you alter your focus so as to fine tune your intention for your experience of 2009, and not the media’s, the latest negative prediction or a helter-skelter running around, putting out the next fire that just seems to come out of nowhere?

Sure, there will be events that seem out of control. No amount of clear focused intention will eliminate “life’s stuff”. But unless you deal with unexpected events effectively, the energy seems to snowball and only get worse. The suggestions in this article are not meant to form a mechanical template for “improving your life”. Instead, it’s a thought- and feeling-provoking process to help you find order and peace, strength and goodness even in the midst of chaos. And in order for your strength to come to the fore, it needs to be nurtured. By you.

It’s about the little moments you take to do this nurturing. Every temple has an altar, perhaps a table, covered by white linen, or at least a candle or some other point of focus, even if placed reverently on a bare slab.

But let yours be the one with the feeling that this is your inner place, the one place in all of life that you can “come home to” even in the midst of challenges, even if only for split seconds until you can devote time for an extended meditation.

6. How will I make my life more enjoyable in 2009?

People usually join with others, even becoming involved in communities because of the feelings they share in common, not necessarily because of what they know or espouse as belief. Take stock of what you are doing, with whom, where, when and how often. Your own mind and heart is also the platform for how you experience your outer relationships.

Do you stay centered in thought, perusing the plentiful and varied information you are accumulating in life, but at the expense of your feelings? What you bring to your community, your tribe, those you hang out with, comes from the feelings you hold while you are thinking or sorting out what you will do. This is why your conversations are enjoyable or not.

It’s really not so much about “who” you know as it is about how well you connect with the “who” of your Oneness with others. When you know you are one with the “Who” who determines your joy , when you connect with the inner you or “Who” of your heart, then it’s from this most important center of your being that you attract the kinds of people and experiences you prefer.

Where’s the fun in your life? How does whatever you do tickle your funny bone–do you allow yourself to laugh or has life become such a serious mission you must relegate joy to a list of should’s, must’s or how to’s? How will you make your own experiences enjoyable and bring what joy you can to others?

7. How will I meld my personal life more fluidly into my life’s path, my sacred labor, to fulfill the alchemy for my life in 2009?

Here’s what’s going on. You have a purpose. You at least sense it if you don’t think you do, or you are very aware of it. You’ve got an inner life.

You’ve got outer relationships. Even if you don’t think you have friends, you can really look at who you have helped or who has helped you the most. You’ve got a spiritual sense of your Journey. You’ve developed a spiritual practice of some kind or another, or at least explored doing so.

You read inspirational books, blogs or choose to watch films that further your own sense of your spiritual development or realization. You may enjoy guided imagery or meditation. You have more than you think, and yet it is simpler than you realize when you know how to observe what you have and appreciate it for what it is, for what it’s taught you at the very least, or the simple joys you find in the moments you experience these things.

All of these may accumulate, and you begin to feel like a juggler, especially when handling the normal obligations of life.

And each ball, if you’re careful, is neatly passed from hand to air to other hand. Seemingly on its own, but you as the juggler know of the skill to keep it all moving deftly and not falling to the ground.

What you may want to decide for 2009 is how to better manage all those balls. How to make it so that when you are in the midst of one of the activities represented by a particular ball, you’re helping the rest of your life. This goes for each ball or area of your life.

Sending you all my warmest wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year in 2009.

QUESTION FOR THE NEW YEAR

How do you juggle all the “balls” of your life? Share what has worked for you in the white comment box , below.

Did you know that, like many energy healers, meditators can and often do thoroughly train themselves to stay open and aligned with cosmic forces?

Whether you’re a healer or a meditator, you likely have your own approach for delving into your preparation.

And preparing is equally important before meditation or for the healing treatment you receive through a healing session or facilitate for others.

You can prepare yourself for your daily life the same way I do before I facilitate an individual energy healing session or lead teleconference meditations with practices like:

• Keeping your acupuncture and meridian lines open
• Opening and charging your chakras
• Using meditation with breath and imagery to clear yourself energetically
• Preparing and maintaining the sanctity of your healing room or meditation space

As a healer I know this inner preparation is important

When I connect with someone, even at a distance, I’m responsible for my own energy to be clear as glass. And so I make an intention to be a clear vessel for cosmic forces to be purely channeled as healing.

I’m also aware of the person I’m healing as the precious being who happens to live both in a body and in dimensions ordinarily unseen. It is this light being who is treated through energy healing or meditation sessions, or present with me in the most ordinary of daily encounters. The soul accepts healing from its own trusted inner teacher who works through a prepared channel as the energy transmission of light.

How does this relate to your own meditation or self-healing practice?

The delicate healing action you can experience in meditation or during a healing session comes from opening yourself fully, realigning yourself to life-sustaining processes.

This energy is as familiar as it is comforting because energy healing and meditation are primal experiences. These experiences begin from the moment of conception, whether you see that as the physical incubation in the womb of the human mother, or incubation in the cosmic womb of the Divine Mother.

During meditation or energy healing, your preparatory breathing exercises help you attune with the beat of your own heart. This returns you to the embryonic tones imparted to you during the first three months of gestation. And in this way you return to your primordial nature.

Primordial background recordings of Eternal Life

This attunement to your primordial heartbeat, the cadence of life, returns you to the heartbeat of the Divine Mother. And the heartbeat of the Mother draws you back into primordial background recordings of the Eternal Life within all there is. Just as the planetary system and the earth have come to birth from within a void, each comes in to birth through the womb of their mother to take their first breath of life.

How is preparing for meditation and energy healing alike?

Cosmic forces, even as tiny as a seed atom, can produce an entire planetary system. They have created and continue to create the earth through this constant pulsating of the Source from the center of all life. This vibrating action of the sacred mantra or word of the Source is stepped down in vibration, first by the Divine Mother to the soul, and then through the human mother to her child.

So it is She, your first Mother, who comes during deep meditation or profound energy healing and takes you from this life’s womb incubation to true soul healing and on, then, to immortal regeneration…

You can break your patterns.

That’s when you’ve emerged from something, having let go of old energy contracts, energy that no longer serves you or perhaps never has. Freeing yourself, you now have a new perspective, a new quality of your being.

And that’s very powerful.

It’s something that can help you as you become liberated to integrate into wholeness with others. That merging is what heals the planet and brings in a new age.

When I asked the Universe to name this website, I was immediately given, “Who Heals”

I decided to take a look at it from a numerological standpoint. Numerology is a system, tradition or belief in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and names, a form of numerological divination once popular among early mathematicians such as Pythagoras.

While I don’t rely on numerology or astrology in my work, I find them each to be a fascinating study on the human condition that can help cut to the spiritual core of any focus. When I do refer to it as a system, I use the classic symbolism of the Sabian imagery system as developed by Dane Rudyar in his work, An Astrological Mandala: The Cycle of Transformations and Its 360 Symbolic Phases (my affiliate link).

Who Heals means…

According to Sabian imagery, “Who Heals” can be seen first as two names, then put together as one. “Who” is represented by 226, and one of the symbols associated with this number is a young girl breaking into a smile. It simply means the warmth of feeling. And “Heals” is 171. The symbol for this number is a girl’s basketball team playing together. It means “group integration,” the team working together as a group synergy.

By adding the two names together, “Who Heals,” the number becomes 37, which Rudhyar describes with an image of a woman, the Woman of Samaria, going to an Ancestral Well.

Thus, “Who Heals” means a “new quality of being.” Who heals? You heal. You emerge from the well–whatever you’re going through deep within you–with this new quality of being. This is also symbolic of the traditional path meeting the creative spirit, pointing to the future.

Healing in this context is no longer just a collective cultural effort based on past knowledge, but an emergence of a new factor into the collective situation which then transcends itself.

As you embrace this new quality of being revealed as your emerging real self, it simply makes the former patterns obsolete.

My intention for this site is similar to my intention for my healing work: it is a key to grasp and use to unlock the penultimate mystery: do you remain stuck, locked outside the mystery? Or do you have choice?

You have choice

The choice is to unlock the door and embrace the mystery. To look at it dispassionately and yet embrace it with wisdom. And allow your acceptance to be the power it truly is–to break the old mold, the old patterns and make room for the new being to emerge.

When you emerge you find you’re connected with a larger reality: a group integration. This can be through your spiritual teachers working through your healing session, there to help you connect with larger realities. You look around, amazed, for you are no longer so finite, no longer so caught up in your microcosmic world.

You are part of a larger reality.

In clearing away energetic contracts that held you back, you can marvel to discover the layers of wisdom that are released from ancient, imprisoned thoughts and feelings.

At other times, if you face more layers of those former energy patterns, you can realize they may be there for you to simply to observe, and then clear…

The name of this site, Who Heals, came about because of the extraordinary teachings I’ve experienced about the nature of healing.

The basis of these teachings supports healing sessions that are primarily about self-healing, facilitated on behalf of others.

This excerpt is from the section in the interview on what the nature of the experience of an energy clearing session is like. It focuses on what someone can do to open themselves more to the experience of a healing and even feel, very personally, the inner teacher who is always present just for them:

Q: I have spoken to many individuals who have had sessions with you and they’ve all told me that it was just extraordinary. And they’re so thankful to have been able to have taken part in these spiritual sessions. I’m not the only one who can feel a great presence; they all do. If a person doesn’t have a sense of the sacredness of this work, can they also at the same time feel the presence? Or is their inability to accept what is being offered in some way able to lessen their experience?

A: There is no lessening of the experience of the light. There is always the possibility of this as a perception perhaps. But there is something that anyone can do to open their heart and their mind to a healing, even a pouring of light from higher planes, and it is this: simply trust. Trust and the pure opening, first to the light everywhere, then to the the great love in the heart that you feel, taking for example any feeling of love that you recall.

Many times, when someone is hurting, or when they have been working so hard as a light worker, as a master, as a healer, as a teacher, as those who go and work for the earth in spiritually clearing the planet, there may come a time in their experience when they feel a little bit spent. Where they may feel in need of a lift to a place where the veil between the worlds can be parted for a moment.  But something is in the way. This is what is termed the energy ‘block’.

The very word ‘light’ itself carries a specific vibration. Anyone can invoke that light in any way they are taught or choose, whether through visualization and a great impromptu prayer of the heart, in the soft speaking and receiving of the Word in the privacy and the comfort of the tabernacle of their own heart, or in a sacred group session where they personally receive inner messages from the great one within, or in the sanctity of a personal healing session.

One thing I recommend to anyone who would like to have more of an awareness of the Light is to think of the word ‘trust’ when seeking the truth behind healing. For as you know, truth is part of the healing nature, and truth is something that you can test.

I have spoken of this in different ways, and you already know, but your beliefs are your own. I don’t seek to change your belief. There are many things in which you can choose to believe, but your mind can perceive of just so much. Yet it does grow, by grace, in its ability to perceive truth.

What the truth has to do with the trusting is this: when you take something that you believe in and you test it by known truths, you can then grow in your faith and understanding and develop an even greater capacity. In that way you reach out and you expand, and you “up-level” the degree of what has been called faith. I use the term ‘faith’ in this context, not as a religious term, but to describe the feeling itself that both knows and anticipates the Light.

It’s like anticipating the great event of love coming through the door. Perhaps you have a loved one or an experience of great love that you can recall. Or a feeling you can generate, contemplating beautiful romances or the poetry of a great poet such as Rumi. Anything like this can help you to generate that feeling. For love is the great healer. Love is the opener of the door, the portal into great luminous light. Love refines the being and allows you to open in the trust I mentioned to greater and greater outpourings of light from Source.

Sometimes it takes but a session to begin to feel the Light and sometimes it takes the listening again to a message that is meant just for you and you alone. Whether it was something you heard addressed to a group through any of the masters or healers from time immemorial, or in the present times, there have always been those through whom the great lights of all time have been able to pour greater Light.

This is a reminder of the great Light that’s already in you. The reminder can act as the activator of your own Light so that more may pour through you to heal others. When you invoke Light in trust and love, and when you later listen to or read the words and contemplate them in your heart, there is–increment by increment–the opening of the petals of that heart to receive an even greater understanding each time.
