I am just THRILLED to Have a Cup




It's funny,
lots of people tell me i am an optimist, i’m optimistic.
That is not my perception of myself - i believe i am a realist.

i don’t focus on the cup half - full OR half-empty. 
Nor do I mean to project that into the future.
I don’t believe any of this is useful.

I am just THRILLED to Have a Cup
(and hoping to keep having a cup for a while longer ; )

I have a CUP!

I Get to play this challenging game, 
on this beautiful earth, 
with so many amazing characters, 
and unending scenarios to explore.

I can 
- enjoy it or not,
- seem to be winning or not.

Meanwhile, I can step-off the game board any time I choose.
I don’t HAVE to play.
But I do GET to play.

(I find this choice is very important to me, not just theoretically, 
but in my everyday processing of my life, experience of my challenges.
It is my choice, to play, so I might as well enjoy it!! ; )

I am blessed beyond measure 
- I can receive and drink from my cup.

I know us humans have an endless ability to take stuff for granted.
We can get used to almost anything - wonderful or terrible

So, it helps to remember:
I have a cup
and I get to decide, not just how to SEE it, but what to DO with it.

I chose to 
- play my own game
- go Onward, Adventuring in the hero’s journey of my Soul
- unveil, BLOOM into Teleios - the fullness, Fruition, Fulfillment that I am.

I may or I may not be tilting at windmills
but I am happy and I live in hope.

So, I like my game, 
even when it isn’t so popular, 
or others don’t get it, 
or think I am losing the game - according to their understanding, 

My perception is: I am winning my game.

Because I am playing my own game and 
Beyond all reason and rationale and deserving and reasonable expectation: 
I have a CUP, and a lot of opportunities to enjoy it.

The who, what, where, why, how...
what it all means, what are the stories, what do i do about it? 
... how do i live?

I have some working theories. 
Better ones than I used to have!
These days, I have some places to stand and how to operate my life, that seem to work really well.

I used to get all snarled-up.
and miserable about Meaning...
what does it all mean? what are the supposed-tos? the stories about?…

But regardless of the meaning
(or gauging my current success or future outcome)

I have rarely heard better coaching than these 2 perspectives, 
which I have learned myself, the hard way, 
and bow to the wisdom of these men, as they share these:\

My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, 
but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate
- that's my philosophy.
- Thornton Wilder, The Skin of Our Teeth (1942) (I added white-space)

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves,
like locked rooms and
like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue.
Do not now seek the answers,
which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live along some distant day into the answer.
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (1934) (I added white-space)


These are some of my thoughts about having a 'CUP', And optimism vs realism.

What say you? 


thanks for reading ; )

People Don’t Think of You as Much as You Think They Do

A friend share this post, which I really liked: 
and highlighted this: 
7. People Don’t Think of You as Much as You Think They Do
From our perspective, the whole world revolves around us, but there are 7 billion people who see it the same way. While we are not all inherently selfish or self-obsessed, we are all far more concerned with how we are perceived by others than how we perceive them.
So once again, embrace your true self and find peace in knowing that people are too concerned with themselves to give you as much as attention as you think they are.


This is a really important and powerful distinction, IMO.
Just Being With What IS: that I am not the center of the Universe for other people, is really powerful, and really helps me just show up, be myself, and do my thing. 

This distinction can help us set ourselves free - to allow the freedom that is Already Ours - so we can BE the Captain of our Lives.


I have found, if I show up to a general conversation and 
I have one interesting thing to share about what is up for me; 
just a few empowering sentences...
that is more than enough.
IF they listen that far, its unusual.

After that, if they Really are wanting to listen and share together, we can dance!
But, usually people are far more concerned with themselves, their sharing, their agenda, their needs...

People generally don't care very much about me, 
and most don't really want to know what is going on for me, 
or really want to have a Deep conversation...
Accepting this, and dancing with it, has helped me be happier.

If I really need to talk, or to be understood, or to be validated and supported - the best place to go, for me, is to Spirit.
From Spirit these needs are met, and I can be filled up with blessings:  I get what I need.
Then I don't go hungry to others, because chances are there is no cheese there.

When I come to a relationship full, not empty;
what I may receive from them is icing on the cake.
But either way, I get cake.
Yum, CAKE.



Jesus told me long ago, a similar thing.
I said HOW HOW HOW could you keep loving, and giving, and healing, and inspiring, and being so patient... loving in the face of all the BS?
To the last: 'Forgive them Father, they know not what they do...'

He said,
I was so filled with Love from Abba - so connected;
I was Love.

So, I was FREE.
I didn't need from them.
I only followed Abba.

Then, if they liked it or they didn't; if they loved me or they didn't - it was ok.
I was free to Just LOVE Them. 

And I could receive any love and validation they sent my way,
but I wasn't addicted to it, or manipulated by it.
I didn't need it, and it didn't influence me.
I was free to follow Abba and just love them,
no
matter
what.

This is very powerful teaching, from Jesus who is modeling an amazing way to live.
Jesus says this way of Freedom and BEing love in the world, is available to each one of us.

That is effin Good News, IMO.

When to be KIND? When to be NICE? (What’s the Difference?)

I believe it may assist us on our Way,
to become more aware of the distinctions between being KIND and being NICE.
So we can make conscious choices.


.
NICE

I see Nice as initiated for and carried through from the body-level, with a physical focus…
It is a vaneer, putting on a mask.
It is possibly an authentic expression in part of our system, but it is not the true reality of our whole system.

Nice is doing what is expected, pleasing, polite, socially acceptable, inoffensive, accommodating people.
We do this for reasons, such as:
– we don’t want to ruffle feathers.
– we want something from someone.
– we want to be loved, accepted, fit-in…
– we want to survive, to thrive.
– we want to gain, win, succeed.
… lots of reasons we do this.

Being Nice often looks like: saying Yes, inviting IN, over-Giving, under-Receiving.
People are often nice back, often appreciative – if they are not, there may be hell to pay.

Nice can be a conscious choice or it can merely become an unconscious default in our system/ behavior.

Nice is a tool for a greater-end,
a sometimes very useful tool,
but if used unconsciously, sometimes a tool that trips us up.

.
KIND

I see Kind as initiated for and carried through from a more spiritual center – whether or not we are conscious of this.
Kindness is a fruit of the spirit – a blessing that we can allow in to fill us, and to overflow through us, blessing the world.
And of course, Kindness is also the beingness and actions that arise from us toward each of our relations, in alignment with our Path, and theirs.

– Sometimes kindness can look or feel pleasant, sometimes not;
– Sometimes Giving, sometimes Receiving… sometimes Both, sometimes Neither;
– Sometimes kindness can be a Yes, sometimes a No;
– Sometimes Hello, sometimes Goodbye.

Sometimes folks will appreciate our kindness and sometimes not.

But, IMO/E, the important thing is to follow the Way
 - - which narturally serves Us And Them.
And to do what naturally arises, as we are IN the Kindness of the Holy One.

Kind can be a conscious choice or it can happen around us without our really noticing – just a fruit that grows as we walk our Path in Spirit.
Kindness is a reward in itself, and has no agenda.

.
Kind vs Nice

Us humans are a complicated bunch.
Sometimes, we are truely kind, other times really nice, often a mix of these…
(others times naughty, not nice at all ; )

It can be hard at first to tell the difference – within ourselves and in the behaviour of others
– Is this kind or is it nice?
– Is it real or is it Memorex ; )

I believe it is useful to start to know the difference.
And to start actively choosing how we play our own game, relative to kindness and being nice.

: ) Wendy

.
PS – what is your experience/ perspective?

– When to be KIND? When to be NICE? What’s the difference?

– when/where/why is it hard for you to be kind? to be nice?

– when/where/why would you choose not to be kind? to be nice?

Let's Play our Own Game





We live in a challenging time, and the battle-cry is RESIST!
even sometimes from the pulpit, from spiritual folks...

But, Jesus said: “resist not evil”

Why would he say that?
Clearly, we should not allow unproductive behavior, hurtful words and actions... right?

Well, Let's unpack this a bit.

1) Resistance is a powerful anti-blessing

Physically:
Resistance is a nature human reaction to what we do not like, to what we judge to be wrong. It is a behavior, and it is also a body-energy.

Spiritually:
Resistance is friction in our space, it acts like tar – holding US and Them in place.
As a soul-reader/healer, I see Resistance as the same color as Hate, Hopelessness, Despair, Punishment, and Anti-God energy.


2) Resistance is Futile


Resistance drives us in the wrong direction:

we go toward where we put our attention
what we put our attention on grows

“what you resist not only persists, but will grow in size.”
- Carl Jung, depth psychologist

“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.”
- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche in “Beyond Good and Evil”


3) Resistance keeps us from playing our own game.









4) Resistance and its counterpart Attachment, keep us from being Clear, unhooked

physically, in electricity - If a material has a high resistance, it means electricity will struggle to get through it. The more the electricity has to struggle, the more energy is wasted.

Spiritually, energetically - Wherever we resist in our own space, it makes us vulnerable - its stuck and collects ouchies


matthew 7

1“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
2
“For in the way you judge, you will be judged;
and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

3
“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye,
but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4
“Or how can you say to your brother,
‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’
and behold, the log is in your own eye?

5
“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.


5) Resistance distracts us from doing what actually works – Acceptance, and then Action not Reaction
If we want to make a positive difference, we must Be with what IS.

In improv – playful yes is the only useful response, from there we can lead
“We cannot change anything unless we accept it.” 
- Carl Jung, depth psychologist

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete".
- Buckminster Fuller

No Problem can be solved by the same level of consciousness that created it
– unknown (but not Einstein)

.

Jesus goes WAY beyond being Clear – non-Resistance
all the way to “love your enemies”

Talk about Being Love, playing your own game:
In the middle of being arrested,

First:
playing your own game: we do not play the same games as those we disagree with – we play a different game, from a different consciousness:
"
one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword,
and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Then Jesus said to him,
“Put your sword back into its place;
for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.”
"
- Mat 26:51-51

Second:
Being Love:

And He touched his ear and healed him.

- Luke 22:51

.


(some notes from an advanced class around resistance, in case anything serves you)


What is Resistance:

Resistance is an energy.
It's a body energy, you feel it in your body.
It comes with the territory of having a body.
It's the energy of not liking what IS: what is happening, what someone is doing, something about yourself or another person; something about the situation. It's the energy of digging in your feet and going "grrrr, grrrr, grrr."

Reactive

When you are in resistance, you lose your power.
When you resist something, you give up your seniority to it.

When you lose your power and your seniority, you cannot change whatever it is you are resisting.
You are STUCK. You can't move forward, you can't move backward.

When you see that you are in resistance to someone, you really are in resistance to yourself.
The first step is to ask yourself:
"What is the matching picture here that I don't want to see in myself."
If you can't see it in your own space, then you project it onto someone else.

I'm sure you've seen OTHER people do this.
"I will never be like my Dad!" using the same tone of voice that his father uses.

This is why we read other people -- to blow our matching pictures.
Sometimes it is easier to see the picture lit up in someone else than in yourself.
Then you find that picture in your space and blow it.

You know you've blown the picture when you feel neutral
-- you aren't in resistance anymore.
You've gotten your power and seniority back.
You can breathe again!

Sometimes it is "Who does this person remind me of?"
Someone who wasn't very nice to me?

When you are in resistance,
you cannot hear or have any valuable information that the person, or the situation, might have for you.
You're just stuck saying, "No, no, no, no, no!"


Running Resistance, Neutrality & Amusement

.

Body of Glass

Body-of-Glass is the art of non-resistance and removing the pictures that collect as energy in our space. 
You become what you resist because when you are resisting something, you are putting your energy into the picture of whatever it is you are resisting.
By putting energy into the picture, you are validating it and making it more "real" (manifesting it).

We get rid of our pictures by exploding roses.
But you’re not going to explode every picture you have,
especially since we have trillions of pictures of life experiences we have had.

The older you get the more pictures you have, the more things you have done.
You don’t have to explode all the pictures to be in a body of glass,
you just have to explode the resistance.

You can still have the picture but you clean off and explode the resistance to it.
This tool is called a body of glass because the energy can pass right through, like a beam of light. 

The resistance in your space acts like dirty spots on glass that hold on to energy as it tries to pass through. 
We don’t turn into glass, we become “no resistance”. 

There is always a picture, doorway, or an agreement to allowing someone else’s energy in your space.
You do not have to de-energize all your pictures and thoughts in order to be immune to collecting energy from others. 
You can instead become a Body of Glass in which you have zero resistance. 

We create and use a rose to collect up resistance in our auras and remove it. 
Then we experience being a body of glass to invalidation, competition, and anger. 

Be a Body of Glass before any reading. 
Create a rose and pull out all the resistance energy in your aura. 
Do this whenever you know there is a lot of attention being placed on you;
whenever you are going to teach or give a talk and know there are some people that don’t like you or what you have to say.
Most psychics have not been trained to let competition go so it is a good idea to become a body of glass to let their energy pass through.
Also, it is a good idea to stay in amusement, smile, and laugh.
You do this and become a body of glass and your energy will stay high and there will not be such an energy drain.

Also, you will have more clients than if you are not so serious and if you don't let resistance stick to you.
Be sure you ground, run energy, become a body of glass, and get in amusement and get up at the end of the day and feel better.
Bring in a golden sun.

I took-on my relationship with my Mom...


I was blessed to facilitate a Conscious Embodiment Intensive - a healing circle for mature women healers, the second half of last year.

We each had an Embodiment Project for the 6-months.
I took-on my relationship with my mom.
I can’t tell you how different my relationship with her is, I am shocked - it is subtle and profound.

I have lived in Seattle for 14 years, and my Mom came to visit for the first time, along with my niece A (who I LOVE)
I looked forward to my Mom coming, as much as A.  I enjoyed my Mom being here, as much as A. This is Crazy!

I didn’t fight with my Mom, judge her or resist her. 
I was myself with her, said what I wanted and didn’t perform according to her perfect pictures.
This is Crazy!

Our relationship is more comfortable, real, and far more enjoyable than I ever remember.

.
But, also, completely predictably, but surprising to me:

  • My relationship with my partner Michael, 
  • as well as my former parter and life-long friend J, 
  • and cascading to other smaller heartbreaks, and experiences of Abandonment and Betrayal 

... all have shifted deeper and I am being more free, easy, open.

My ability

  • to BE with, 
  • to let down walls, 
  • to let Love in, to let Love out, 
  • to be with what is/was/and will be (forgive)… 

more deeply - has really changed in the last 6 months.

ALL because I intended to release the wall I had with my Mom,
my hand up saying STOP: you can come this close, but no closer; you will not hurt me again!!!

This Conscious Embodiment Intensive structure and the wonderful women who showed up, supported my shift.
It wasn’t hard, and it didn’t take a lot of time.
But, the intention has unfolded magnificently, way beyond any expectation.

in LIFE! Wendy

We can learn and choose Mastery, Spiritual Seniority: How would that change our lives? our world?




From my perspective, this quote is about being spiritually Senior:
  • DOing what it takes, as the Captain of our Ship...
  • Having Mastery of spiritually living in this body, dancing in this world, co-creating what we are here to share...
  • Taking back our Free-will, our spiritual Power, our soul Authority, the Agency we need to sing the song we are here to sing...
  • BEing the Master, the Chooser of our inner experiences, our outer actions, our soul destiny...

Spiritual Seniority is NOT our culture's average way of being & doing:
  • Having Agency is NOT how most of us are raised.
  • BEing the Captain is NOT where most of us stand.
  • Most of us are NOT well-equipped to do this, to have this, to be this, to co-create this - for ourselves or for others.

In one hidden part of our lives, or all over our lives
- A lot of us stand without tools or support, in the place of:
  • "it is happening to me",
  • "I don't have a choice"
... the place of 'victim'.

This is so sad.
Living in the place of 'victim' is creating
  • such pain, such fear, such stuck-ness;
  • such lies of shame, of unworthiness, of powerlessness, of choice-lessness...
These:
  • weigh us down and can poison us to our core.
  • undermine the Beauty of who we Truly Are.
  • divert the Glory we can experience and powerfully co-create through in this world.

So many of us living in the place of 'victim':
  • it is a travesty,
  • a terrible waste of human potential.

... And our children learn monkey-see-monkey-do,
they learn what they live.
And the cycles Repeat.

.
Meanwhile, I believe there is a lot of spiritual hope.
I believe, "where we trip is our treasure"
On our healing/ transformation path, we can find along the way:
  • we become strong in the broken places...
  • we become wise where we were foolish and gentle where we were controlling & bossy...
  • we become uniquely available to comfortably and powerfully serve/ help/ heal/ BE with particular people and situations
I believe Book II of our lives really can start right now:

  • We can play a new game - sitting in the place of 'winners' not 'losers'.
  • Those of us who have lived 'under it' - can walk above it.
  • We can allow a different experience of life - standing in Victory, not victim-hood.

Not by might nor by power, but by Spirit:
We can learn and choose Mastery, Spiritual Seniority. 
How would that change our lives? our world?

.
I am on-fire about the opportunity for each one of us
to step into our own spiritual Seniority;
and the huge difference this makes in our own lives and in our world
... physically, spiritually, relation-ally, emotionally, intellectually, etc.

I pray you have/ find soul tools & practices,
as well as a place to spiritually stand,
to support you on your unique journey of Mastery.

Blessings on your Unique Path,
Wendy


The center of my ministry is to equip, support, inspire spiritual Seniority.

Really BEing with the 'Other'


This podcast asks an important question,
which for me boils down to:
Can we stand-in love, compassion, empathy
AND
speak our truth?




I say a resounding yes!
Unfortunately this is not the default expereince in our culture.
I am fortunate to be part of a community that practices this way of being - empathy and truth
-we practice from the inside out.

I thought I would share a bit about this way of BEing, from my expereince.

It takes time for most of us to go from: 

  • identifying with our beliefs, 
  • having our ego tied to how we understand the world, 
  • taking our thoughts and our feelings very Seriously...
to a place where we experience the world inside and outside of ourselves
  • from a more neutral place, 
  • from a more playful/amused place
  • from a less-attached place...

.
It takes time for most of us to shift.
But I believe it is miraculous that we
Really Can shift!
HOW we practice this is too long to say here,
but I can share One distinction that May make sense as a stand-alone:

Everyone lives through Pictures - our experiences, views, hopes & fears, stories about reality.
In our practice, we utilize the word 'Pictures' to represent our beliefs about: 

  • who we are, 
  • what the world is, 
  • what is essential in life, 
  • how we should behave, 
  • where it is important that we invest our attention and energy
  • what is the meaning of it all...

Our pictures are not reality.

We experience life through our pictures, 
create a life congruent with our pictures, 
resist shifting our pictures...
I believe part of the issue that trips most of us regarding Really BEing with the Other is:

  • we think our pictures are Real, 
  • and important, 
  • and necessary. 

And they sure do seem to be!
So, when our pictures seem to contradict other's pictures
- we (understandably) believe that one or both of our pictures must be Wrong.

This is challenging, confronting to our little house of cards.
And it is tempting to protect our POV, our little world;
and attack theirs - or at least not Hear or BE with their's very well.

.
This is the opposite direction of love/compassion/empathy.
It is the opposite of understanding them and their POV.
It is opposite of BEing-with them. BEing with their Truth.

So, this is useful and powerful distinction, IMO;

  • If we want to be with what IS, and who they are / where they are. 
  • If we want to Love them. 
Then, it is useful to hold our POV loosely.

This is not easy.
But, it becomes less and less challenging as we more deeply grok:

  • pictures are just pictures, 
  • they are not reality 
  • and attaching to them and resisting them doesn't serve anyone, really. It just shores up our ego, our world-view, our POV.

.
And I don't mean just thinking this stuff about pictures is a good idea, or intellectually believing it, even.
This is a superficial first-step.
I mean practicing this consciousness about our pictures, standing in this place of freedom, internally - until it is realized within us.

.
So, I just shared a little peek at a different practice, that has one relate more openly and comfortably with folks of competing belief-systems.
Unsurprisingly, it has us go below the level of our beliefs, to what lies below.

Thanks for reading.
in life, Wendy

We want a better Life, so Why is CHANGE So HARD? (And how it can be easier!)

The New Year begins - so often there is a pull towards change...
we want to change our life, our bodies, our relationships, our world...

How about this year, we do it the Easy Way?
Let the horse lead the cart, not the other way around!

We don't Have to change everything, today.
We don't Have to rearrange our whole life.
Actually, we don't have to change anything at all on the physical, today.

Even if life has been Really Intense, and we feel at the end of our rope...
We don't Have to drop our agreements, divorce our partner, run from our kids, eschew our friends, quit our jobs, leave home with only a bindle (a hobo stick ;)

For the little or big shifts we want to see in our world,
for now, in our lives,
we can choose to keep our current plates spinning, stay on our current trajectory in our physical lives.  Because...

If we Really want to change
(not just rearrange chairs on the Titanic)
the place to begin, is within.


SO, Today, how about we:
Dedicate ourselves more deeply to our inward quest.

How about we start by getting our free-will back.
We can intend to find our freedom, permission, power, and spiritual senses... within.

Let nothing stop us on our soul journey, that leads to LIFE, Abundantly...


Our inner journey shifts our world - inside us and outside us -  it knocks our socks off!
It will for every one of us, it always does.
And from there, our outward life changes of its own accord, it has to!

When we intentionally shift on the inside,
the outward shifts practically take care of themselves.

When we say YES to Life (YES to God, YES to our Unique Way, YES to Light, Love, Truth... however you want to say it ;)
Then Life says YES right back to us!
That spurs a Wild Ride, inside and outside our skin.

So, if you Really want to Change, Heal, Grow, Transform:
Don't waste your time and energy trying to change on the outside - Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Instead, shift your inner world - Actually Turn the Boat!
Your life, and your world, will never be the same.


I just so happened to have recently posted on my Life, Abundantly blog, about getting out Free Will and our True Power back - instead of trying to use Willpower (which doesn't work ; ) - I hope you check it out!

Sometimes feel like a Round Peg in a Square Hole? (secret: we all do!) BE Life's Own Special NUT!

Some encouragement as we start this NEW Year:

Magic happens
when we let go and BE our True selves,
Truly DO our own thing...
You are Life's Own Special NUT!

We each have our own Spiritual DNA.
I am inimitably Me
you are inimitably You.

No one else can be who you are.
No one else can do what you do.
NO ONE!
so Let's SHINE!

If you do not be you and do your unique path,
your voice in the chorus is missing.
so Let's SING!

No one else can mature into the beautiful flower you are,
so Let's BLOOM!

No one else can share the fruit, the gifts, that you can,
where and how you can,
so Let's Come to FRUITION!

.
You are not and never will be Bad or Wrong to miss this opportunity,
but you will miss your mark,
and the tremendous blessing it is for you to play your unique part;
and All your Relations will miss your inimitable self, as well as your unique contribution.

Let's not get sidetracked
  • by playing small
  • by replaying old songs that we don't even enjoy
  • by trying to be someone else
  • by doing it like someone told us to...

Please come PLAY, as YOU.
I will do my best to Play as Me.
See you on the field!

Where we trip IS our Treasure: DIG!



Sometimes our Healing, Learning, Growth, Transformation…
takes a Giant Leap.
We say a BIG YES and magic happens, we are blessed, the stars align - and our lives move forward.

Sometimes our healing is easy, fun, fast, miraculous.
But...
Usually we progress incrementally: slowly-we-turn, step-by-step, inch-by-inch.

This is no mistake.
It isn’t a failure on our part, it doesn’t mean our Source is not Mighty or we are not Dedicated or Worthy…
We have Not Failed!

Our Journey toward who we already ARE,
our attainment of the Contributions that are already ours to offer,
takes Time, takes Attention, takes Intention.

On the way
  • we HEAL from the wounds and the chains that have kept us down;
  • we GROW through the barriers that held us back; learning to leap the hurdles we used-to avoid;
  • we learn to SHINE our light, the Light; to truly BE ourselves, as well as BE the difference we want to see in the world.

And in this PROCESS, we discover Blessings and Glory beyond our wildest dreams.
Under our wounds and chains, beyond our barriers and hurdles:
  • We find lost-parts of ourselves.
  • We find lost abilities, senses, connections - both spiritual and physical.
  • We allow-in wisdom, insights, and true knowing.
  • We allow-in connection, confidence, charisma.
  • We discover the Light in the Darkness, is within us - always here.
  • We discover the One we have been waiting for, IS US - here, now - in partnership with our Source.

In this slow PROCESS, we receive the Dark Gifts... of Healing, Growing, Shining.
And we are So grateful-for these gifts!
Although we wouldn’t wish this Horrible path - the Horrors we lived, and faced, and conquered to get here - on our worst enemy!

And yet, on the other side of the darkness, when the day dawns
the Blessings of the Dark Journey start to be seen
we Are the Light, and we ARE Grateful.

.
That’s what I have found, for myself and others,
When we don’t Heal in a snap, when we are stuck and stopped:
There is a reason: there’s gold in them there hills!

Where we trip IS our Treasure.
Start Digging!
Don't stop until you are blessed.

Best to you on your unique Healing Path!
Wendy

I: You are already a Spiritual Reader, Creator, Healer, Leader... so why is life so hard?

You are already a Spiritual Reader
You have inner leadings and intuition, you receive soul information - to see, hear, know, feel the truth within you.

You are already a Spiritual Creator
You are manifesting your experiences - inside and outside yourself;  co-creating your body, your life, and your world.

You are already a Spiritual Healer
Your presence matters - you are loving, supporting, serving, helping to make your world better - just Try to stop you!

You are already a Spiritual Leader
You are teaching others by who you BE, what you DO, how you are moving forward in your life - in the face of many obstacles.

.
You are already a Spiritual Reader, Creator, Healer, Leader... Look out world!
What more could you want, could you need?
Well... for most of us, that isn't the case:
 
Many of us are flying Blind.
Our spiritual eyes, ears are closed to the very info we need to thrive.  We are unclear about the Energetic Information that is right there at our fingertips.  Someone (them? us?) was afraid of us seeing the truth, didn't like us marching to our own drummer - so we accommodated, we shut-down. 

Some of us are Hiding.
We are inundated with too much input!  Overwhelmed with our own and others emotions, energy, expectations...  We need to turn-down the volume - but instead we have turned it off.  We can learn to comfortably let life Freely Flow around and through us, but instead we contract.

Most of us aren't Shining like we could be.
We are hiding from our pain as well as our joy, from our Light, as well as our Darkness...  We believe the lies that we aren't good enough, don't deserve, should shut-up. We step off the 'stage' and hide in the 'wings'.  Then we ask: Why am I Always the Bridesmaid, but never the Bride?

A lot of us are, well, Stuck.
We are not letting Life and Energy Flow.  We are in Resistance.  We are worn-out by our own habits, and our isometric exercises - fighting ourselves!!  We have had too much of the pain, depression, trauma; we have had too much of the anxiety, worry; we've frozen.  We've fallen and we can't get up.


This was my experience, above.  This is my experience, below:

My clairvoyance opened up spectacularly about 20 years ago - but I couldn't control it, and I saw a lot of scary things!  I had been a big empath since I was young, trying to protect myself in an abusive home - it didn't help.  My spiritual information didn't seem to help me.

I was called as a healer about 20 years ago - but, although I could help others feel better, I only felt worse. I ended up with almost every malady of the massage clients that I helped to heal.  I meant to protect myself, but had not a clue what that really meant.  I was a Healer who couldn't help myself.

I spiraled down into years of chronic illness, bed-bound often, house-bound for years.  Nothing I tried made me better.  I was in terrible pain, no energy, and had layers and layers of symptoms that I could only see getting worse before I finally, horribly, mercifully died.  I was Mighty Stuck. 

.
But, of course there is more ;)

Things turned around for me when I started doing a type of meditation that helped me shift, helped me utilize my spiritual senses, helped me talk to my body, helped me consciously connect with my Source, helped me let-go of fighting myself and Life as it is, helped me take charge of my life!

I started these practices over a dozen years ago: Everything inside me and outside me in my life shifted dramatically - some faster than others.  I got so excited that I started sharing that meditation, those soul practices, and other people's lives started shifting as well. 

I will share one opportunity to participate in our next training, in the next blog, right below this one.  But really, there are many pathways to transformation.  I implore you: DO NOT STOP until you find a path that works for you, whatever it is, and then Keep Going!  Because life is Awesome, you can savor it.  And the world needs you, we all need you to Thrive so you can make your own Unique contribution!

You are already a Spiritual Reader, Creator, Healer, Leader...
life is Delicious beyond your wildest dreams!  

Let it Be So,
Wendy

What does Trust look like?

Question Asked:
What does trust look like in the different areas of your life:
relationships, work, money, spirit, other?

My answer Today:

Energetically,
For me Trust is a vibration, a spiritual gift.

For me, it looks energetically a lot like
Validation, Truth, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Certainty, Faith, Healing that is an expereince of our Wholeness... vibrations.
Add a little miracle energy and it looks like Acceptance!
(I define these somewhat specifically, you can see here for how I use these exciting words)

For me, Trust energy is not about what They DO, or how the World Occurs,
it is a fruit of spiritual nurturing that grows, and I allow to flourish - through me, and those around me - when I say YES to Life.


Physically, Trust looks a lot like
letting go, breathing, allowing
not frozen in fear,
not re-living past horrors, not worrying future catastrophes.

Relationships, work, money, life when I let in Trust,
it looks like ease and grace
...Mmmmm, Yummy.

When I don't let in Trust, it looks like
controlling,
trying-hard,
pushing my weight around, and
missing the mark, a lot
...Ahhh, Not Yummy ; )




For so long
I didn't Trust anyone, or anything - not really, not Down-Deep
(And I am Still Healing Deeper and Deeper Here ; )

But, after some Really Crappy Stuff went down with my Partner... and a Lot of healing after that.
I have started to own that the trust doesn't lie "Out-There" with the Other person, place, thing.
Trust can only reside within Me... or not.

Can I Trust my partner?
Turns out, I had the emphasis all wrong!
It wasn't Can I Trust my PARTNER.
It was CAN *I* trust my partner.

When *I* am in the Blessing of Trust;
Then, my world,
my relationships with people, places and things,
my life is IN Trust vibration.

I expereince a Whole Different World,
which is an entirely different expereince than when I reside in UN-Trust.
From this distrusting place, NOTHING is Ever Right, Comfortable, Safe, Count-on-able...

My INTERNAL experience Completely changes, depending on which vibration I am living-in.
AND, depending on which vibration I am living-in and creating-through in my life - extraordinarily divergent EXTERNAL outcomes manifest into the world.

I like my life A LOT more, when I allow Trust to Shower upon me, grow within me, and Flourish in my world...
(And so do the people around me, you can imagine I am a bit easier to Be With ; )


What does Trust look-like, feel-like, show-up for you?

in life, Wendy

Q&A: How do You personally define Abundance?

Question Asked: How do You personally define Abundance?


 
My Answer, Today:

I define Abundance (the energy /vibration /spiritual gift and the conscious spiritual practice of allowing this IN)
as the incredible richness, energetic possibilities of the Universe, of the Earth, of this earth-game;
as wild, wide-open, limitless opportunity;
as the waterfall of blessings from our Source, that we are all, always within
... but often limiting /resisting.

.
So, Do I let that Abundance IN, or not? a little or a lot?
I believe this is determined by many factors, especially by Havingness.

I define Havingness, (the energy /vibration /spiritual gift and the conscious spiritual practice of allowing this IN)
as the ability to allow-in the Goodness:  what I have wanted, what I already Have, what I need.
Havingness is a YES to the abundance that IS.
It is opening the door when the UPS driver comes to deliver what I asked-for, ripping open the box, and playing with the contents.

.
Can I enjoy what I Have? A little or a lot? Briefly or ongoingly?
I believe this is determined by many factors, especially by Gratefulness.

As a soul healer, from my expereince of a lot of these energies over time, I have come to define Gratefulness (the energy /vibration /spiritual gift and the conscious spiritual practice of allowing this IN)
as the ability to BE WITH what IS.
I can enjoy, access, integrate... what I can fully be-with.

What I believe is a really interesting side-note:
I notice this Gratefulness vibration (for me) is (usually) the same color as many other energies which are also BEing with What IS, including:
  • Validation = the Truth (especially of how Awesome we/they/it is).
  • Certainty = trusting my expereince of what IS.
  • Faith = holding onto what Certainty helped us expereince, over time - through the dark night.
  • Healing that is by Knowing/Re-Accessing/Remembering the Wholeness that IS, that we/they/it IS.
  • Forgiveness = same as Gratefulness, same as all these - coming to the place in our soul, where we can BE With what IS.
All these vibrations, to me, usually look the same, but have slightly different flavors /tastes /textures.
  • (A closely aligned energy) Acceptance - often occurs to me as the vibration above, with a little Miracle energy in it... and it is a Potent energy, indeed. 

.
I know you just asked about Abundance,
but as most people understand /expereince Abundance, these 3 vibrations and practices sum up how I would generally define the expereince/process:

  1. Noticing I am at the best buffet ever: ALL is a Gift (Abundance).
  2. Filling up my plate, my fork, my stomach, my cells; integrating/assimilating nutrition & energy: I allow what I can have, within me, now (Havingness).
  3. Savoring the deliciousness of this expereince, and enjoying the results of these nutrients and empowerment in my body and in my life and in my world: BE/DOing Yummy Thank You (Gratefulness).

.
In conclusion:
I cannot say enough
- this is not a physical conversation, information, practice.

First and foremost, these
energies /vibrations /spiritual gifts I am speaking about;
and the conscious spiritual practice of allowing this IN these blessings;
These are a soul practice.

Spiritually, the fruits that flow into our conscious expereince, our bodies, our lives and the world around us...
these are Blessings pouring from Spirit into our physical reality. 
Enhancing the joy and goodness and possibilities of our lives, in both our spiritual and physical experience.

Waaa-hooo.
Thanks for asking, it was useful for me to think that through, and write it out.

Thanks for reading,
Wendy
