Aug 2009, Matrix, Yuen; dolphins, oranges, neutrality

Matrix Energetics, and The Yuen Method: Dolphins, oranges and neutrality.

For the month of August, I have spent much of it, and the
latter part of July, in deep contemplation. There is much
shifting on the planet, in relationships, in daily lives. I have
noticed that many of those around me are doing and seeing
much the same as I am. There is a big clean-up taking place
with people noticing and shifting their diets, their exercise
routines, their material items in their house. It is like we are
all getting ready. For the remaining time that exists for
August, I thought I would share with you some experiences
of the work that I have been doing and encountering lately.
Most of you know by now that I am a Certified Practitioner
of Matrix Energetics. I have also just returned from Los
Angeles studying with Dr. Kam Yuen and learning The Yuen
Method. These two methods move a lot of energy very
quickly.

While I was in Los Angeles, my two friends and I had a free
evening. We drove to the Santa Monica pier. The pier was
bustling with glorious summer fun, wet kids, towels, sand,
entertainers performing and the lights beginning to do their
patterns on the big Ferris wheel. We decided to walk along
the beach while we still had sunlight. As we headed out,
we set the intention as a group to see a dolphin. We knew
we only had a certain amount of sunlight left and it was a
pretty busy beach, but we decided to use our knowledge of
Matrix Energetics (M.E.). So we not only set the intention,
but also used the frequencies used in M.E. to send out a
wave of invitation and request to see a dolphin. We stood
for several minutes looking out at the ocean waves. The
waves rolled up and splashed down, but the only things we
saw were the swimmers in our peripheral vision and the
caps of the incoming waves. My one friend even drew the
frequency in the sand. Nothing. We decided to keep
walking.

As we walked, I was drawn to all the flat black rocks that
had been tumbled so smooth they resembled thick coins and
perfect skipping stones. I also picked up opened half shells
of black and blue and white coloring. We continued until
we were 2 miles from the pier, but still had it in sight
behind us. The sun had just dropped past the top of the
mountains in the distance and with no physical sun to see,
we knew our moments of lit visuals would soon be over.
Then just as we decided to head back to the pier, my friend,
Don, spotted the dolphins. There were two of them. They
playfully jumped up and back down again, with a third
dolphin. We hooped and hollered in our excitement! Our
intention to see a dolphin manifested not one but three! And
then behind them, three more jumped up and over and into
the water. Six! And then two more and then two more! We
quit counting, but it seemed there were 3 groups of 3 and
then two playful ones in the back. We stood stunned as the
little guy at the end, jumped up and in and left his tail in the
air and literally waved at us. And we all knew it. He did
not jump up and into the water and just slide in, this was a
dolphin version of a high arm-in-the-air wave, no doubt
about it.

The entire pod of dolphins began to swim toward the pier,
as if knowing that was where we were going, and they were
so close. So close. It was like they were as close as they
could get without the water being too shallow. We all knew
that we could have run out there and been with them if we
wanted to, save bathing suits and the setting sunlight. They
swam alongside our walk for nearly a full mile. We looked
around and noticed that the beach had emptied. This was
just for us. The group of 3 guys we encountered on the way
back had no interest in them when we tried to tell them what
they were missing. It was not for them. It was for us; we
were the ones who called to them.

We could see in the dimly lit ocean that the nearer we
approached the pier, the farther out they had to swim due to
the buoys and rocks protecting the pier and its carnival
setting. Then as they headed out to the ocean, the tail rose
again on one of the dolphins, waving at us, bidding a
wonderful night and a farewell with immense love and joy.
When I returned to Texas, I shared with my family that I had
a special story and that the rocks I brought home for them
were on the same beach as those very special dolphins. It
was a beautiful manifestation that we all used M.E. to
facilitate. Beautiful, touching, deep and confirming.

When working with a client, Matrix Energetics can show up
in incredible ways. I worked with a lady who had a
wonderful M.E. experience in many many ways. But the
part I would like share with you is the lesson of the Orange.
During our M.E. session I saw a perfect orange “pop” out
energetically from her abdomen. And then another and
another and another. I told her what I saw was a perfect
orange, perfect color, perfect shape, perfect for juicing,
perfect for eating . . .it was just “perfect.” And then the
lesson settled in. An orange is exactly as its title suggests.
Its color is orange, its fruit is orange, its juice is orange, and
it is what it is. And orange is perfect in description of its
inner and outer being. It is not like say, a taco, where you
have to describe what it is in, how it is made, the varieties,
and the sizes. It is not a description that has to be
explained. Thus in this M.E. session, the lesson was to be
just what we are, or in this case for the lady to be just as she
is, perfect as she is. No need to change, be described, be
explained, fit into someone else’s description, match the
other people. Just know that in the inner being it is all
perfect, inside and out. And to trust this. Trust this and
understand it.

Dr. Kam Yuen uses this idea as well. He stated in The
Yuen Method (TYM) workshop that any answer that comes
from within is always the right answer, even if it is wrong.
If it comes from inside there is no other answer. It has taken
me several days to integrate my experience with this man
whom many around the world regard in high esteem as a
35th generation Grand Master of Shaolin. Within ten
minutes of meeting Dr. Yuen, his sentence to me was to get
to where I have no need to take any more classes. This
enormity of this statement is stunning and confirming. It’s
about trusting. Trusting that the answers that come from
within with focused intent will always give an answer.
Thus my work with the Yuen Method is fast, efficient and I
have a much greater appreciation for this man and his
method now. Dr. Yuen moves energy so quickly that there
is no need to move through the “highs” of any issue or
emotion. He brings energy to a place of neutral so fast that
people who expect and like to experience the “oh” and “ah”
of energy swings may mistake the experience as nothing
happening. This is far from the truth. I have learned and
been confirmed in how to move energy quickly and
efficiently to a balanced state. There is not a time when it
does not move, it always moves. It may be perceived
differently than expected, but energy always moves.

Dr. Yuen has a wonderful philosophy that miracles are
accidents until you can do them all the time and then they are
routine. I understand what he is saying. We are all capable
in shifting and changing. It does not need to take a long time
to see, feel and be balanced. We are all fully equipped to
love each other and also have a space neutral enough to
create balance.

I worked on my husband who had been having a sore throat
for a couple days. In a matter of 4 or 5 minutes the pain
resolved and the thought process behind it had been
neutralized. I worked on a woman with an issue that
presented itself to me as something different than she
originally described. After several minutes of TYM, we not
only worked on her original complaint but also several
items “not” on the list and she felt a difference immediately.
She also tested strong with muscle testing that the results
were solid.

I have found that each modality I work with is unwinding
into a unique tapestry of healing opportunities. My goal is
to create a space where you remember how to do this
yourself. Remember that you are also a beacon of light,
here for a purpose, experiencing many things, one of which
is to trust yourself. Just like the dolphins appeared and the
oranges teach “perfect” lessons, and the stones on the beach
are like coins of treasure lost to the common observer, I can
see these things and I know you can, too. When you are
ready, come see me and let’s open that up. Just be willing
to look, trust and experience.

Blessings, joy, love, and light to you.

Live well, love well, rest well.

July 2009, Reiki and the Bishop's message

A Note about Reiki and the Bishop’s message.

If you have not already heard, the Bishop in accordance
with Catholic beliefs has published a doctrine that states a
strong opinion on Reiki. There are several articles that
cover the subject and if you wish to read further, I will post
the links below. At the risk of being blunt and not sugar
coating, in my heart I feel that God does not wish us to
separate ourselves from the experience of feeling Love so
great that it would heal another; whatever creates a healing
is an expression of Love, and God, no matter what words
one uses be it medical terminology, spiritual lingo, or no
language at all. May you be lead by the love in your heart to
experience what matches best for you.

July 2009 Saying Goodbye and Seeing the New

Saying Goodbye and Seeing the New

Usually when I sit to write an article for the website, it is
usually in a place where I “feel” the article develop. It is
like it comes from a deeper place within, not just my head
dictating and fingers typing. And yet this time, there has
been a stillness. So many people making their transitions,
Ed McMahn, Farrah Faucet, Michael Jackson, pitchman
Billy Mays, master impressionist Fred Travalena, and actor
Karl Marlden all passed away this week. Reports that
Patrick Swayze and Walter Cronkite’s health are a concern
to many. The world is asking questions about what is going
on that so many people are passing away. But it is not just
this week. There are many places across the globe where a
story is being told about someone’s life, legacy and
adventures. It sometimes just takes a few familiar faces to
get our attention. Farrah’s story could have easily been
someone’s mother or grandmother.

This is not a time of grief in the big picture. Although we
are all entitled to the way we process when our paths cross
and the way in which we walk side by side and the way we
part ways, there is a shift greater than any news tagline
could possibly encompass. These individuals held onto a
particular energy and served a purpose for their own
journey, but also they held a space in the big puzzle of life
and now their piece is put into its place with a soft click.
That means we get to benefit and see a little more of the
picture. Where are we going? What does it look like?

My take on it is this: it’s not the image on the outside of the
puzzle box. We as a whole have shifted an entire level, if
not multiple levels of our consciousness, the capacities of
our hearts, what we can internalize intuitively and how we
connect, what we tolerate and what is now ok to let go. We
breathe deeper, we see clearer, we move with greater ease.
How? You ask. I know there are reports of great turmoil in
the world. What I speak of is not ignoring the world in
which we live in and understanding it is growing, but rather
to appreciate what is different. What is new in our world
that was not there before? I love the quote Dr. Richard
Bartlett uses when he says, “we have all been trained to see
what’s wrong with us. . . .We need to see what’s changing –
changes happen in the blinks of our eyes.”

And so it is, I believe, that whoever got the puzzle going did
us a great service (consciousness awakening). And now
that we are getting the hang of it, the original picture has
changed – as fast as we blink. People that have completed
their purpose in holding energy that was part of a different
kind of picture may choose to leave at this time. The great
joy in this is we benefit from their knowledge, their life
experiences and as this piece is placed into the puzzle it
changes the moment it comes in contact with the rest. Some
may like to call it being the water drop in an ocean –
without all the drops it would not be the vast sea, and yet the
individual drop becomes part of a greater whole.

So when we have losses in life what changes? Sometimes,
the “losses” are really what saves a life. Sometimes it is
what finally gives a person the courage to find their voice or
set boundaries. Sometimes it finally puts together an “ah-
ha” moment of appreciation that is a deeper gift. It does not
mean we will always understand it. What is poison to one,
may be the cure for another. Allow it to be what it is.

So as you reflect on the shifts and changes in the world, you
are free to feel as deeply as you wish as a mass experience,
which you are a part of here on Momma Earth. I know for
me, when Steve Irwin died, I literally felt his spirit go
across the globe like a breeze and it was as if he personally
and individually thanked every creature he ever had contact
with as gratitude and dispersion of his love for critters and
humans. It was magnificent.

What is different? I appreciate. I see differently. I wonder
differently. I opinionate differently – and make up my own
words to express it. I ponder how many pieces of the puzzle
I can put into place by just experiencing and sharing. I
allow. And I trust. I say no. I say yes.

The stories we read about in the celebrity scene are not
unique to just them. They do, however, remind us of where
we are going which is to something different. Be willing to
see what you love in your life, change what does not work,
be mindful of your THOUGHTS as they will be supported
as they are a request. Change the word “negative” with
“non-beneficial” as see what begins to shift in your world.

And breathe. Become aware. You are waking up – on
purpose. It is ok where you are, experiencing what you
need at this time. Allow the heart to be still when needed,
and then give yourself permission to expand – that’s the
puzzle I see. And when I blink, I see more of you shining
brighter!

Breathe, notice what you notice to be different about you, let
go, let go, let go of what you no longer need and be open to
what is different. And allow others the same.
