Giggle Gifts
A “little reminder” article.
I’m sure many of you have heard of the expression “Laughter is the best medicine.” Sometimes there are legitimate explanations for such remedies and sometimes there is only the sound of laughter itself that will cure a serious heart. While attending a workshop in Seattle I came across firsthand what the stream of unexpected “tee-hees” can do. A couple from Florida with straight stoic gazes attended the same workshop I did and sat not too far from where my hotel roommate, Amy, and I had situated ourselves during an evening break-out session. A presenter and several audience participants demonstrating a specific technique stood upon a stage in front of just under 500 hundred people. The lights were lowered and the key lights for the stage were lit. And then it happened.
On the far right side of the ballroom, one woman in the front row began a small giggle, to herself mostly. It quickly spread to the ladies around her like giggle gas bubbles contaminating the air and soon these three ladies were becoming quite distracting, red faced and bouncing. It was irritating to many and a little rude to others. Their giggles began to spread to the rows behind them with just a tickle here and there to some unexpected bystander trying very hard to maintain focus on the presentation. It got to be where the giggles from the ladies in the front row on the far right side developed into out-right laughter and they chose to remove themselves chuckling right out of the ballroom and into the hall where an explosion of peals of laughter ensued that we could all hear from the now closed door.
The stoic couple I mentioned earlier looked at these women as needing to get it together, clearly they were acting out of control, which resulted in annoyance and irritation. But even though the Gigglers had left the room, their giggle germ had already spread to the people around them. Slowly, so slowly, it moved through the air to more people. Little bubbles of silliness floated around popping near me, in the center of the ballroom, and I found my own self beginning to giggle at the pure embarrassment of such an ordeal. And then it became funnier. Here I was in the middle of the ballroom, third row center and feeling the energy begin to flow in ways that at this point were becoming hard to swallow quietly. My body began to bounce and shake with slow tears escaping my eyes as I tried very hard to not repeat the experience of the Giggle ladies. I even thought to myself how annoying this must be to Amy sitting so quietly next to me; it was getting close to the bubble boiling point. It even triggered a childhood event that I never thought I would ever share in print.
I was taken back to a time where I was at church with my mom and the congregation was standing. I was bored out of my mind at age 8 or 9 and in the middle of a forest of adults a deep yawn came up and out. While I was totally engaged in this complete open mouth yawn, I burped. But since my muscles were totally occupied in the stretching of this full-bodied yawn, I could not close my mouth in time and out came a deep-from-my-gut growl – the perfect combination of a long yawn and resonating belch. I looked at my mom with wide embarrassed eyes as my mouth and gut are performing noises and stretches with what seemed to me without my consent. The people in front of us also turned around to see my mouth open spaciously, my eyes open wide and feeling out of control as my body roared on its own. I was so embarrassed and amused all at the same time that my mom and I both got the giggles so badly that it was as if we were the ladies in the front row far right side almost 25 years later at this workshop. It too closely resembled the feeling of “What can you do, now?” It is already out there.
And then it happened.
The lady from the serious couple, who a moment before was absolutely disgusted with the out of control experience of the Gigglers felt herself beginning to giggle, then deeply felt out of control in this experience. The bubbles of giddiness had settled in her lap. She decided that she would not let out the burst of laughter she felt building and tried with all her might to leave the ballroom. She stood up and looking horrified, hand to her mouth, leaning head first charged for the door as if she was about to vomit uncontrollably. She did not make it. About 12 feet from the door, she could not hold it in any longer. This disciplined woman, who the next day said she has always been so serious she did not even play as a child, was exploding with laughter so deeply that I visually saw the energy like a bucket of water being thrown – her laughter splashed all over the place and we could all hear her even once she got to the hallway hooting and cackling hysterically. That is what sent me over the edge. I then could not control my own laughter any longer. I then had to leave the ballroom, holding my own scarf over my face hoping I would at least make it to the door, unlike my “serious” friend who unleased 12 feet from the door. I left my hotel roommate and friend, Amy, alone in the ballroom as several of us aired ourselves out in the hall and around the grounds.
When I returned, the giggles in the ballroom had quieted, but not left completely. I ended up on stage with the presenter and some participants, when another participant did an action that sent my friend, Amy, into laughter she had tried to keep under wraps and out of the ballroom she went. Wave after wave, the giggles made their way across the ballroom from the far right side to front and center. I think we must have used it all up, because I heard the following day that there were a few people on the far LEFT side of the ballroom who viewed the whole thing as, you guessed it, annoying and irritating. A few even left the session, and not due to laughing. Oh, did they miss out.
Amy and I ended up with the giggles for hours, and even after that we still laid in the dark of our shared hotel room for 20-30 minutes laughing instead of sleeping. It just took one of us to breathe wrong to send us into hysterics. It was so freeing and light and life changing for the one “serious” lady as she was out of control in her laughter, her weightiness was not seen again the rest of the workshop. Not even on the way to the airport as she smiled and joked on the shuttle; I thanked her for her experience because it brought me to mine. I have not laughed that deep, that hard, that long for no apparent reason since who knows when. Whoo-wee, was that ever great.
And the presenter? I am sure some of you are asking if it was a complete disaster to the presentation. Fortunately, this particular workshop works with energy and completely understands such things. And the lady presenting has also had such experiences on stage before so she just rolled with it. At that point when a big portion of 500 people have the giggles, you can’t help but go with the flow anyway. It is contagious and liberating.
May you have the experience of complete and utter joy to the point of body-bouncing laughter, tears of unexpected heart-expanded happiness and life changing reminders how silly seriousness can be. May your heart be as blessed as mine has been in the gentle reminders of joy in unexpected ways.
And just to keep in the spirit fun, in the words of my husband, “bring home a Penguin” – whatever that means . . .
Love, love, love to you,
Bright Star

May 2009 Collecting Crystals, the treasure hunt.
Collecting Crystals, the treasure hunt.
While walking along the beach, a landscape of endless grains of sand are before you. Your toes sink with each pressure change from heel to toe, from step to step, from shifting in motion to maintaining balance while still; it supports you. These grains of sand, too numerous to count are each themselves small pieces of dirt, rock, minerals, shells, bone and crystals. When an unblemished shell is found in this vast terrain of sand granules, a treasure is in the hands of the one who picked it up. And while to another, the broken shell with swirls of colors is far more interesting. The treasure is still in the heart of the observer.
Imagine if you will, Dear Observer, a cluster of perfect crystals with powerful terminations (points) and flawless color. Where we find this cluster of immense sustaining beauty is within our sense of Being and our heart. Sometimes as we go through our journey we feel compelled to share our love and light by distributing this great inner beauty by giving a piece of crystal structure to another. If we distribute enough of our crystal pieces to others, we are left with a very small piece of our self. It is in this example that we give ourselves away, trying to please those around us, trying to create connections with others in a way that we hope they will see value in us. When we return to the person and ask them, quiet innocently, “Are you taking good care of that part of me?” The person will probably say yes. If asked repeatedly it changes the meaning to, “I need you to take care of me.” If we ask enough times how well the person is taking care of us, the person may just decide that this is a) obviously something very special and may want to return it to its rightful owner to have it be in its proper location or b) decide that if they need to take that much care of it, it inhibits their own movement in life and they wish to give it back.
The one who has handed out all his special crystals pieces no longer has the solid foundation in themselves any longer – all personal power is in the hands of others. When an occasion of a returning of a piece of Self/crystal piece takes place, it can be viewed as rejection -
“You’re giving it back?!” translates to “You don’t want me?” It is the lack of person foundation that has created a sense of un-empowerment. As pieces of ourselves come back to us, the opportunity for gratitude in the recreation of inner strength presents itself. It really does not have to be about rejection, but more about reconnection. There are gifts both ways when pieces of puzzles are put into place, even if it wasn’t the piece we were looking for.
If we choose to view transformations and avenues in creating healing, even if it does not appear to look that way initially, there is great power in this choice. Whether we are handing crystals back to their owners (not being responsible for others’ wellbeing/ happiness/ sustainability) or asking for our pieces to return to us (speaking up for ourselves, choosing differently, thinking more highly of ourselves) change takes place.
I have told many of my clients and students lately that even if we don’t see an immediate change before our eyes when we are working with energy in my studio, the trajectory has still changed in their life- both of our lives actuality. Small or big in the angle of change, change is still change. And transformation can alter a life. It can heal a heart, free a spirit, give a voice to the quiet and melody to a song. What we see as change can be treasure if we choose to allow ourselves the opportunity to hold it, bringing the pieces back to the solid foundation it was meant to be.
We share ourselves in many ways; we give of our time, our food, our homes, our material goods, our shoulders and ears. We play, laugh and cry. We express emotions, share interests, point out other ways to see things; we are connected already. There is no need to give yourself AWAY. Everything – EVERYTHING – is a treasure. Even what one sees as broken will fit the perfect opening somewhere. In quantum physics, all things are possible. If all things are possible, why not you just being you, complete and whole, broken or still in the plastic factory seal – you are a treasure to someone – Yourself as an expression of Divinity.
So I challenge you – It’s time to go on a treasure hunt. It is your purpose in life to find all the crystal pieces you have hidden or given away. No one can take them from you without your consent. They are yours and it is of your power they change direction and location. All those pieces that are scattered in the hands of others bring them back in to your life. All those pieces that you are holding on to that do not belong to you, it is time for them to return home. Home to the place where joy and peace and love reside – in the hearts and inner Beings of each of us.
May your journey be blessed in the finding of your most precious treasure – yourself. It is in the finding of you that you find you are as vast as the sand beneath your feet – shifting in motion and maintaining balance when still. In finding you, you find the bigger picture and connections to all you were seeking in the first place; love.
In this space, there is no need to guard, horde, protect, or feel violated if one approaches such a treasure as yours. They simply see your beauty and find value in you being you (and wasn’t that what you were seeking in the first place?). Go, treasure hunters, it is time to collect crystals. May your gems shine brighter than you had ever known to imagine.

April 2009 Keep your Eye off the Ball.
Keep your eye off the ball.
In our society, we have been so incredibly trained to keep our eye on the ball that we begin to lose sight of all that around us. And not only that, but according to quantum physics, as long as I keep my eye on the ball I effect its ability to change by simply gazing up on. How does that work, you ask? I may not be able to explain the same way as a physicist would, but I would love to share an example or two of taking your eye off the ball.
In our efforts to figure “stuff” out, whether it is what is wrong with our physical body or why your spouse acts the way they do, or why childhood things still creep into your decision making process as an adult, or how to get out of stuck places, we search for the initial problem. I have studied many modalities where going to the source of the problem can be the key to clearing up the issue. I happen to be one of those people out there who can tap into past lives and other realities, so finding the source of the issue might mean something different to me than it does to you. However, in our infinitely creative ways of being, sometimes if our brain knows what “really” happened, it dwells on it rather than just using the information to go forward. So trained have we been to describe what is wrong. The lists of symptoms, the reasons why we can’t, won’t, don’t do what we really want to do. Ugh. We have been trained very well to find the problem.
I’d like to retrain you. Or detrain. Or rather entrain. Entrainment, not entertainment (although that is just as valuable), is that moment when two or more things come to a place of single rhythm. Like 10 people singing. At first they will be higher, lower, louder, softer; all different and easy to pick out whom is who doing what. Then after a bit, the voices will naturally begin to meld together in pace, quality and it appears they have found a place on an unseen grid to slide their sounds on with ease. Kind of like a ballerina on ice skates; effortless beauty, gliding with grace.
In a recent workshop I took, I loved the way of describing letting go. Most people don’t really understand the concept of letting go. They are afraid if they let go it might go away. Of course, many of might think, and wouldn’t that be the point? Yeah, for the other rest of us, it would be. But remember, we have been trained! Must keep our eye on the ball! If you quit watching the ball and it changed, what would you watch then? If we didn’t have our things wrong with us, who would we be?
Dr. Richard Bartlett of Matrix Energetics describes the idea using quantum physics in a wonderful way. For our purposes, and for fun, I’ll describe it with my own take on it. If we look at our list of symptoms as the problem, it is natural that we would like to find the solution. If I find the solution, which ball am I going to keep my eye on – the problem or the solution? If I keep my eye on the problem, the mere act of my gaze locks the problem into an experience of my limiting watchful eye. If I stare at the solution, it is in essence not allowing it to move forward because I’m staring at it. Finding a solution to a problem in our previous training brings two images to mind: 1) telling the issue it can go and yet holding onto the belt loop so it can’t move. And 2) Conversely, it reminds me of the old gag my dad would pull with his hand on my head keeping me at arm’s length so I couldn’t touch him no matter how I stretched my arms toward his body. Neither position allows full movement of neither the problem nor the solution to create change.
Now what if just for a moment it didn’t matter to me what the outcome was. Just for a moment. In that quick moment, an instantaneous miracle could absolutely take place. How? Because in the moment that I said I wasn’t personally invested in the outcome, it is like taking my hands out of the belt loop. In those 60 seconds, opportunity for change is present. And we all have heard the saying about liking the present, because that means gifts!
In quantum physics, it is stated that human consciousness does indeed have a force. Intention has a force. This force can be harnessed, yes. But what if when we moved our human consciousness out of the moving force and just let the intention and magic of the molecules do their stuff, just for a second, you open up to infinite possibilities. When you look at anything, you settle your eyes on only one possibility, which is sometimes called collapsing the wave into manifestation or into being. What if there was a possibility that served you, but had more than what your brain could imagine! Wouldn’t you think about maybe giving door #2 a try if it became a possibility, if you knew there was a door #2? You might have to not look at door #1 to notice . . .
If we could allow ourselves the experience of entrainment to the what if’s of incredible possibilities, the doors of opportunity blow open with a breeze of far greater potential than we have been trained to look for. You don’t have to hold that space forever if you are not ready to do that yet. You are entitled to watch that ball, and see it up close and personal when it hits you square. Or you can be willing to step into the possibility of what if at the last minute it curved? Or I can imagine Dr. Bartlett saying, “Or turned into a ball of blue slime?” Ok you might not be ready for that lesson in quantum physics, but I think you can handle relaxing for a minute.
The point I am trying to make is there are an infinite number of possibilities of any particular situation and view point. If I identify a place that I would like to see change and know there is a solution out there, the best choice I can make is to allow the solution to make the changes by moving out of the way. This is not to be confused with passive behavior, or waiting for God to handle it for you. It is an active participation in energy movement and then a softening, an allowing of transition to take place with a greater potential than I could possibly imagine.
On the scientific level, photons move in two directions. If a trauma or injury or block of some sort is moving in one direction, the inverse of that energy can be identified from the other direction. When the inverse energy comes from the opposite direction and crosses the path with the block, it cancels itself out. Homeopathy calls that like cancels like. This is how miracles happen. A change in energy changes the outcome. It changes the perspective. It changes the body.
Another great example of Dr. Bartlett is throwing a rock in a pond. You can control which rock you choose, but once it leaves your hand, the magic that happens is beyond your control; concentric circles of moving energy through the water. These changes I am speaking of here are like the moment you throw the rock, there is a relaxing, a breath you take, like taking your eyes off the ball, allowing changes to move like ripples in the body, healing occurs.
So let’s return to entraining. Imagine that you now become the water and you throw your own rock (or coin into a wishing well, if you like). Imagine when your rock or coin drops into the water, you have made your wish. Now, step back from it, disengage just for a moment from the outcome. Just observe the movement. Feel what it would feel like if the ripples moved through your body, gently, consistently, rhythmically. When you can become entrained in the motion with the waves and just BE in the energy, not forcing change, not making them bigger or smaller, just allowing – it is in that moment you have taken your eye off the ball, so to speak, and are allowing the quantum physics of changes to manifest. By not looking, change happens, by throwing the rock or coin, change has been initiated, but releasing lets it manifest.
Give it a try. Just see what happens. Dr. Bartlett says to simply “notice what you notice.” Don’t force, just be. And instead of looking for what is wrong after you give it a try, ask yourself what is different. Move forward in your thinking. If you are not sure, just keep asking, “What is different?” Even something as small as a deep breath can be significant.
Live well, love well, be well.

By not looking, change happens, by throwing the rock or coin, change has been initiated, but releasing lets it manifest.
Give it a try. Just see what happens. Dr. Bartlett says to simply “notice what you notice.” Don’t force, just be. And instead of looking for what is wrong after you give it a try, ask yourself what is different. Move forward in your thinking. If you are not sure, just keep asking, “What is different?” Even something as small as a deep breath can be significant.
Live well, love well, be well.
