Happy Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio April 25th 2013! | MYSTICMAMMA.COM : consciousness, spirituality, wisdom, inspiration

Coming up to the full moon again...

Hold on to what you are Forget what you are not

Watch "Macklemore- Cowboy Boots Kinetic Type" on YouTube
"Cowboy Boots"[Intro]And we drink and get older
And some of us even try to get sober
Now here's to the assholes and the last calls
Well, city kids, you get what you ask for[Bridge]
And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
Sit around a table and use those years as the centerpiece[Hook 2x:]
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR[Verse 1]
Hold on to what you were, forget what you're not
The streets were ours that summer, at least those two blocks
Reminisce on those days, I guess that's OK, you wonder why
Some grow up, move on, close the chapter, live separate lives
The twenty-something confusion before the suit and tie
Strangers become mistakes but those mistakes made you feel alive
Hindsight is vibrant, reality: rarely lit
Memory's a collage pasted to the glue that barely sticks
Good Lord, they broke all my shields
Locked bathroom doors, graffiti, and high heels
Until you felt that altitude you don't know how high feels
Party mountain, some don't ever come down from around here
To be young again, I guess it's relative
The camel lights, the whiskey rye, sink into the skinI fantasize about a second win
Grow a moustache, pick up another bad habit and let the games begin[Hook 2x][Verse 2]
So here's to the nights, dancing with the band
Strangers into girlfriends from a one night stand
Brought a little liquor and turn up the Johnny Cash
You could bring a receipt to Heaven but you cannot take it back
And this is life, this is real, even when it feels like it isn't
I'd be a goddamn liar to say at times I didn't miss it
So deuces, I turn my back as I walk into the distance
Dip my feet in every once in a while, just to say I visit
Come and hold onto these nights
Trying to find our way home by the street light
Over time you figure out this is me, right
Learn a lot about your friends right around two A.M
And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
Sit around a table and use those years as the centerpiece[Hook 2x:]
Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
Where I question if what I'm seeing here is real
Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR

Symbolic meaning of 34

Naming of a son
Thunder over heaven
Spiritual warrior
Power of the realization of man
Symbolizes the axis of the world
The truth/holy spirit [3] over all four [4] corners, or simply: =LUCK
Manifesting your desires and energies
Ability to create your own realities

34 = 3+4 = 7
Seven is the number of a perfectly completed cycle, as each phase of the moon lasts for seven days
The idea of perfect timing and the ordering of nature is expressed with the numeric union of the 4 (symbolic of Earth in Chinese philosophy) and 3 (symbolic of heavenly attribute).

Thank you to everyone who has left an imprint in my being...

Continued from previous blog Down on my knees...

After I cried all the tears from my eyes until my eyelids were puffy, I got off my knees and stood up. You can't stay down forever. The floor starts to get uncomfortable or cold. It was a good idea at the moment to feel closer to the earth but then at some point the in between the floor and ceiling looks even better. Sometimes you just need to let it all out until there's no more in you. Yes I wallowed on my bed that day doubting and questioning myself. But don't we all at some point in our lives? A few days later a good friend heard in my voice that I was not myself and immediately got on the plane to come visit me for the weekend. (If I have never thanked you dear friend, I thank you now yauhen, for being my angel). Things started to look up after that and I started school...

I have been hesitant on how to word the seven years of my life and next couple blogs till i am 34 without offending anyone but I am still 33 and if you go back to last years blog at this time the number 33 is all about the truth. Therefore I am going to take it all the way with the truth from my deep heart...

Down on my knees...

I explained to you in the last four blogs the moment I went from being down on my knees to lifting my head up again with shoulders back and light that once flickered in my eyes restored. I shared with you Reiki and integrated energy therapy that I practice and teach. What else? For some of you just starting to read my blog, my goal over the past week is to quickly bring you to the here and now of my life by the age of 34 on Sunday. Three days left.. What will I cover?
1. The last seven years
2. What I have accomplished
3. Significance of the number 34
4. Where I am at now and no more of the past
5. Why I feel the need to briefly share part of my life story

Well now we are at about age 27 when I decided to sell most of my belongings, drive my vw beetle without sleeping all the way down to Fl on the highway, get back on the plane and drive the uhaul down the following weekend to move to boca raton fl. I out of a whim decided I was going to leave everything behind me, start something new and carry on with what I love to do in my life. I was making very good money as a bartender/cocktail server/waitress at high end Italian restaurants and lounges but decided I couldn't live this life forever. (Go back to my money blog) Just when I decided to leave I was offered a job to run a new lounge owned by one of the Italian restaurants I was working at but I still believed this business was not enough for me. I have been in food and beverage since the age of sixteen. You can do the math on how many years its been if you have been following me;) (18 yrs!!) Dam I could write a book just on the customers alone lol Never mind the fact I could run a restaurant/bar like no other! Needless to say part of those 18 years, the last five years have been contributed to faithfully bar-tending and serving at a tiki bar at a hotel while doing banquets and restaurant work while being underpaid.
Why did I move to south Florida? I needed to take a risk and change. I had to make a choice to stay stuck or take a chance. Therefore that is just what I did. I enrolled in Everglades university to finish my BA in alternative medicine and science. I already had an associates degree in science plus a year in photography school. All I did with those credentials was a few weddings, portraits, com cards and band photos. Again photography was not enough for me. I did not want to spend my days with brides who acted like their wedding day had been the most stressful day of their life when it should be just one of the many happiest days. (I could do a blog alone on this subject but for now will try to keep my opinion to myself)
So when I arrived in south Florida, I had two weeks before I started school at Everglades. What did I do in those two weeks? I became depressed and distant. I knew nobody in my new town. I went to the beach, lingered at the pool, went for walks, faithfully did my pilates video, continuously got lost when I drove because everything looked the same to me and put together my new apt. My new hangout was whole foods because we didn't have that " whole paycheck" store near us up north and I would occasionally go out to dinner solo to talk to people. I was all good in those two weeks until one day I found myself crying to tears in the middle of the day on my bed that I just put the canopy frame on. I remember that day as it happened yesterday. I just sat there sobbing uncontrollably wondering did I make the right decision to leave my family and everyone I loved? Was I being selfish and didn't think of their feelings and how they may feel me leaving them? Did I not think any of this through? What am I doing and did I just run away? Am I going to be happier here? Am i really thousand of miles from my home town? The continuous questions and sorrow just poured through my heart that afternoon as I sat on my bed....
To be continued...

What is Integrated Energy Therapy?

So I told you about Reiki and though I did not write this particular article on IET nor do I remember who wrote it, I still would like to share because it explains IET well. I am explaining in these few blogs what I do following "This is my story blog"...

Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET) is a safe, gentle, nurturing way to empower and balance your life by helping you release patterns of the past for good. Feelings and sensations are stored in the cells of the body much like facts are stored in the cells of the brain. Negative or traumatic experiences, stress, unexpressed emotion, fear, anger, resentment or self-limiting beliefs can become "stuck" (or suppressed) in the body and inhibit or disrupt the flow of vital life force at a cellular level. These energy blockages limit our experience of life and can result in a lack of spontaneity, energy depletion, a feeling of unrest, agitation or dis-ease. IET uses a unique Cellular Memory Map® to target specific areas in the body where these "cellular memories" are stored, helping to release them on all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. As these blocks are cleared, the suppressed charge of energy dissipates and your energy field is re-balanced. The more your energy body opens and vital life force can flow freely through it, the closer you move to a natural state of being: pure joy. How IET Can Be Used  Increase your sense of well-being, life purpose, happiness, creativity, health and prosperity Painlessly identify and release your deeply suppressed feelings and your core cellular memories Have more fulfilling, loving relationships in all areas of your life Discover and live your Soul's mission in life Support your self-healing at all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual Provide gentle yet powerful support for survivors of childhood traumas such as physical and sexual abuse, alcoholic and dysfunctional families Increase your connection to the loving and nurturing spirit of the Divine Remove limitations so that you are empowered to live your best life Release the Trauma Without the Drama One of the benefits of IET is an opportunity for you to be free of the story that you tell yourself and others about your life and the world that you live in. The stories that we maintain often create dynamics in life where it is as if you are functioning under a spell. The vibrations of particular energy blocks maintain old ideas, beliefs, emotions, or sensations that then radiate out and attract situations energetically to us that will "prove" that these old stories are still true today. These "new" situations have the same vibration of the old ideas, beliefs, emotions, or sensations and the story is then strengthened by being verified. Now being even more committed to the truth of our stories, we vibrate more of the same, attract more of the same, and a cycle of dysfunction persists and the "spell" is cast. When we share our stories with others, we use words to convey the intricate patterns and design of our particular experience. The words that we choose have the unique function of conveying to the world the power and conviction that we feel for what our story means to us. Words, along with the old ideas, beliefs, and feelings, can then carry a specific "charge" with them. IET can work at the level of cause where the initial trauma was introduced without using words that can threaten or trigger the old sensations or emotions. This also helps to avoid unnecessary confusion or confrontation that can occur when trying to navigate through a story by using words. By releasing the trauma without the drama, IET supports you in moving away from your story and into the truth: breaking the spell. Going back to the principles of Quantum Physics, we know that everything is comprised of energy. Each component of the "spell" can be addressed energetically: transforming the vibration of the stuck ideas, beliefs, emotions, or sensations from a level of dysfunction to one of true freedom or love. When the spell is broken, then we can vibrationally attract situations into our lives that radiate our inherent goodness and magnificence. Re-Balance Your Energy Whether your energy is depleted or over-stimulated, IET can effectively re-balance your energy body. Working at home or in an office, for yourself or for others, constant demands and responsibilities can lead to burnout or exhaustion. IET helps to reignite the passion, creativity, and sense of purpose that helps us thrive. Those of us who work with a high degree of public contact, such as Therapists, Nurses, Sales People, Teachers, Social Workers, or Body Workers, can sometimes accumulate "static" from being over-stimulated by the energies of the people we interact with. IET can help to dissipate this sense of overwhelm and bring us back in alignment with our own sense of Self. People who work with Technology can be sensitive to the energy of the electricity of the equipment and systems that they work with and experience an accumulation of energy that feels much like an electrical current, anxiety, or a jittery feeling. IET can help to ground and discharge this energy imbalance. Your energy body directly impacts the quality of your life. Maintenance and support of your energy body is maintenance and support of your best life! The Next Level of Energy Therapy IET is the next level of energy therapies that uses a higher vibrational energy than traditional forms. IET supports you in safely and gently releasing limiting energy patterns of your past, empowering and balancing your life in the present, and helps you to realize your dreams as you evolve into your future. How Energy Therapies Work Current research reveals that electromagnetic forces are the foundation of all life. Scientists are now proving what many Eastern medicine traditions have known for thousands of years-that our bodies not only contain "physical systems" (such as our circulatory or lymphatic systems), they are also made up of "energetic systems" that play a critical role in our health and well-being. Energy flows along prescribed pathways through our bodies much like blood moves through arteries. These pathways are recognized and actively used today in many alternative and preventive health care practices to balance and clear blockages in our energy systems: blockages that impact the way we feel physically, mentally and emotionally. How Integrated Energy Works In physical terms, health represents a condition of systems that are in perfect balance and flow: there are no constrictions, impediments, or blocks. In emotional or mental terms, health is the experience of truth, joy, and love: an expansive state of pure possibility and potential. All things are made of energy. Everything has a vibrational pattern, and these patterns can be changed. An energy block occurs when a naturally balanced energy system is flooded with negativity, trauma, distress, or fear-lowering the vibration of the energy body. By directing Integrated Energy into the energy system, the energetic imprint of a dysfunction or illness can be re-balanced-raising the vibration of the energy body and restoring the energy system back to its natural state of health and harmony. Integration Channel Diagram By scientific example: We can use water to represent the energy system, and heat to represent Integrated Energy. Water in its densest form is ice. By introducing an energy source of heat to ice, it transforms back to water. With continued heat, the water changes to steam, and ultimately vaporizes into air. Ice is transformed into air with the introduction of energy (heat)-moving from solid to light. By IET example: Using an Integration Channel® and the IET Cellular Memory Map®, the body's energy system is systematically infused with Integrated Energy. Dis-ease transforms to ease; dysfunctional feelings are transformed into feelings of harmony, joy and love; and fearful or negative thoughts are transformed into innocence, hope, and trust-moving from fear to love.

What is Reiki?

Here is an article I wrote a couple years ago on Reiki in hospitals which explains what this form of modality is while debating Reiki in hospitals:

Reiki is a Japanese healing method consisting of channeling energy through ones hands to another human by either a certified Reiki one, two, or three practitioner or a Reiki Master. Reiki benefits anyone in need of an emotional, physical, spiritual, or mental adjustment through hands on healing. Today most hospitals consist of burnt out nurses or doctors with sick patients that need to be healed in other ways besides just conventional medicine. Not intentionally realizing it, nurses and doctors neglect patients for many reasons making them fearful in a place that is not their own. Allowing Reiki into hospitals as a mandatory practice for nurses or doctors would be a positive start to turning around the way people feel and look at hospitals. All hospitals would benefit from their nurses and doctors becoming a Reiki one practitioner because the power of touch heals not only the patient but the nurse and doctor as well.
Some may argue that using Reiki as another way of healing patients is not as effective as the traditional ways of the hospital. Not many people today have heard of this healing modality that heals with energy that surrounds us each day. Patients might question nurses or doctors about Reiki or not be open to trying something new. One might argue the point of nurses or doctors becoming Reiki practitioners because there is not enough scientific research published today to prove that Reiki works. Hospitals could ask where they would find funding to pay a Reiki Master to attune each staff member as a Reiki one practitioner. In some areas of the world, people think they can just read a book on the subject and know how to practice Reiki developing the name “hoax” for Reiki practitioners. They do not understand the true honor, responsibility and the gift that arises from becoming a practitioner.
Reiki was developed by a Buddhist monk, Dr. Mikao Usui back in the late eighteen hundreds. He spent most of his life trying to understand how Buddha and Jesus Christ physically healed others. After years of studying he decided to go to Mount Kuriyama with twenty one stones and meditate with no food or water. On the twenty first day he encountered a bright light that he mistook for a star that struck him in the forehead and knocked him unconscious. Laying there for hours he received signs of symbols and how to use each and every one of them. This bright light communicated to him that this was his answer to all his prayers. When he awoke he called this life force energy he felt Reiki. Rei means “ray of light” and Ki means “energy”. From that day on, every time he would hurt himself, he placed his hands on the affected area and cured it. He discovered healing others sometime took days, weeks, or months depending on the sickness. Before Dr. Usui died he passed on Reiki to Chijiro Hayashi who later passed it on to Hawayo Takata. Mrs. Takata learned about Reiki before she was to have surgery on her tumor, appendicitis, ulcer, and gallstones. Feeling it wasn’t right she jumped off the table and went to a Reiki clinic where she was healed in six months. Mrs. Takata became a Reiki Master in 1938 and died in 1980 after years of practicing in clinics and hospitals and teaching people Usui Reiki in Hawaii (Morris, 1999, p.10). The Reiki Alliance, a professional organization of Reiki masters, grew from twenty to almost one thousand members from 1981 to 1999 (Snyder, 2006, p.252).
Dr. Hayashi and Takata brought Reiki into the hospital of Hawaii in the early 1900’s treating patients with different acute and chronic diseases and ailments. Today some states in New England and in the western states of the country practice Reiki in their hospitals (Rand, 2008, para. 6). But there are not nearly enough throughout the rest of the United States. A
summary of Reiki studies ranging from double blind to randomize to experimental studies concluded Reiki allows a compassionate connection through touch and presence between the giver and the receiver of Reiki. The studies suggest that Reiki brings the heart back into the work of the hospital (Vitale, 2007, p. 168). Today patients in hospitals relate fear and pain to a medical setting. Touch from doctors or nurses relates to uncomfortable medical procedures. Hospitals are so busy that patients feel the people treating them are so cold and detached (Brill, 2001, p.10). By delivering more contact with the patient and their families using Reiki, develops a more positive and caring environment. Patients would feel more comforted and at ease.
The oncology, pediatric, intensive care units, trauma units, and the emergency rooms are filled with patients exceeding the period of time in hospitals. If nurses and doctors could incorporate Reiki into their daily routines with patients, they could speed up the process of healing and move them out of the hospital quicker. Reiki is great for helping patients get through the recovery of surgery plus reduce stress, depression, aches and pains. A one hundred and seventy thousand dollar study done on one hundred and eleven AIDS patients at the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network showed the group who received Reiki had increased energy and most of the patients went off their pain medications all together. None of the control group had any change (Fallik, 2006, p.2). There are many health benefits with Reiki especially with cancer patients. Reiki reduces blood pressure, aids in better sleep, boosts the immune system, reduces the side effects of drugs and chemotherapy, and calms the Nervous system (Vitale, 2007, p.168). Reiki aids in reducing fever, decreases discomfort during labor, and alleviates shock and trauma. Another study conducted with Reiki on twenty volunteers with pain in fifty five areas including cancer resulted in high reduction in pain (Brill, 2001, p.9).
Since every unit in the hospital is always overfull, the nurses are getting worn out from having to always pick up extra shifts. Studies show that nurses are leaving their professions prior to retirement these days leaving the hospitals with a shortage of nurses from rapid turnover. Nurses are stressed out from long and varied shifts not being able to handle their work load anymore (Brill, 2001, p.9). They are physically and mentally exhausted. Nurses take care of many complex patients. Over time, this weakens their ability to really treat patients the right way. According to a study done on fifteen nurses who were given Reiki treatments for six consecutive weeks based on self care offerings, concluded dramatic results in their own work ethics. They were asked to keep journals on how the treatment made them feel (Raingruber, 2007, p. 1141). Participant eight wrote in her journal, “The outside noise of the IV alarms is less grating. I spend more time noticing my patients. I pick up on how people move and interact. That’s not something I did before. In general I feel more positive about my job”. Raingruber stated, “Nurses noticed an increased ability to focus on patient’s needs and Reiki enhanced their clinical problem solving skills” (p.1142). Nurses also experienced more energy and felt grounded in their daily routines. They were more relaxed and they were able to think more clearly. Reiki also lowered their stress levels making them calmer throughout their work day (Raingruber, 2007, p1142).
The Reiki one class is a non expensive technology ranging from one hundred fifty dollars to two hundred dollars depending on the Reiki Master who trains the nurse or doctor. Finding a certified Reiki Master to teach can be found from The International Center for Reiki Training or
through the International Association of Reiki Professionals. These listings are a secure way to know you are finding the right registered Reiki Master who knows what they are doing (Rand,
2008, para. 5). If the hospital is worried about their funds they could offer the class as continuing education units for nurses and doctors.
​Most Reiki practitioners only complete level one unless they want to move up in levels to increase their flow of energy or to become a Reiki Master who teaches. Reiki one is more than enough for nurses and doctors. But if it was offered as continuing education units they might want to pursue to other levels to increase their healing ability on patients. Reiki one gives you the light of healing yourself and others. In Reiki one you learn the correct hand positions and layout of the chakra system. You learn the complete history of Reiki, the Reiki ideals, and how to prepare for a session. Reiki one teaches you the emotional sources of disease and how to relate them to the area needed to be treated (Morris, 1999, p.43). Since studies show nurses benefit from receiving Reiki in their daily lives, being a Reiki one practitioner would allow them to self heal. Snyder claims, “Reiki energy, by moving through the practitioner’s crown and out through the hands, also has positive effects on the practitioner. Reiki practitioners report feeling energized, relaxed, and more centered after performing a treatment” (p.250). Not only are they healing their patients and themselves, but this gives them an opportunity to Reiki other nurses and doctors. Sometimes nurses and doctors have short breaks and need a boost to get them through the rest of their day. Since the staff is already trained in Reiki, channeling energy from a couple of different hands at once increases the power of healing. Plus it gives nurses and doctors a chance to practice on each other becoming more experienced in treating others with Reiki.
​Dr. Mikao Usui stated in the Reiki ideals, “The secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases. Just for today, do not anger. Do not worry and be filled with gratitude. Devote yourself to your work and be kind to people” (Morris, 1999, p.31). These
strong words define Reiki to their wholeness in proving the importance of healing someone. Certifying nurses and doctors as Reiki one practitioners really lets them heal with not just their hands but with their hearts. Reiki allows them to go home each day and feel that they made a difference in someone’s life. Knowing and holding onto this emotion brings happiness and gratitude. With Reiki your whole attitude about people and your surroundings change for the better. Placing this great life force energy into hospitals will improve not only the staff’s work ethics, but improve the patient’s outlook of how they are treated and feel. Reiki only brings positive light energy into a hospital environment with no negative dark energy. Keep in mind; humans are made up of mostly energy. When ones energy is blocked, diseases set in. Therefore hospitals need to support Reiki as being effective and in need of nurses and doctors becoming Reiki one practitioners in all hospitals to keep this beautiful energy moving freely.

Part of my story....

This blog is part two of around and around we go blog. Try reading that one first:)

Ok so what happened at age 25? I was thrown up against a hard brick wall outside a bar on the night of my going away party at Angelo's restaurant with all my friends right before my two month trip to Australia. I woke up the next day got on the plane to visit my sister in Ca first. I lied about the bruises all over my upper arms that she just happened to see when I wore a tank top. I flew back home a month earlier from Australia to be flung up against another blue wall with a pointy coat rack stabbing my back that was hung in my own kitchen. Then pushed down on my bed and again on my couch with possessions being thrown in the admists of all the chaotic nonsense. I for the life of me could not escape the house I lived in that night. With all my power and might I had in me I continuously shoved this thick sorry accuse for a man off of my chest. Not until the five cops arrived at my house was I saved from this drama that I was portraying. Oh no this did not stop after that night. You would think I would leave this man who layed his hands on me after I was charged for his narcotics that were present in my house. I remember for the first time in my life that night as i fell to the ground sobbing uncontrollably, I realized I needed help. I called my mother the next morning and let it out while choking on my words. My father came over and changed my locks on the door that day. But like I said, this was not the end. I saw him again and again secretly... Not until my good friend stepped in, dragged me to his home and made me end it for good with him while collecting my belongings did I wake up out of this illusion I was living in. I was not taken down to the police station that night after they accused me of the bruises on his chest but I was charged. Embarrassing Court house appointments being compared to white trash, drug classes where I learned mored about narcotics than I ever knew of, an alcoholic anonymous circle that I refused to stand up and say i was an alcoholic while repeating their prayer, community service planting a hundred tulips and washing the the church floors later did I pay my dues to have my record wiped. Then the restraining order had to come in later because he would not stop stalking me. Not only did I experience the physical abuse but I actually endured the emotional abuse. I remember him standing in my kitchen one day with my kitchen knife to his throat shouting to me he was about to kill himself. I just stood there and responded sarcastically, "Do it slit your throat"
So at this point you are either thinking I was a victim of domestic abuse or I am bruised for life in relationships or I can relate because this has happened to me. That's what I usually get from the few I tell this story.
Well the whole point of sharing this story was that I woke up, took a break for a year from dating anyone, focused on myself and visited my spiritual shop in Ct one day. I picked up a business card of a beautiful reiki master teacher and dialed her number to learn reiki one. After my one day class I was lifted to a higher calling. I walked out into the sunshine and i could breathe again. My life has never been the same since that day. I never experienced such a strong energy that moved my whole being and soul. I finally felt complete as a new person entered my being. I was lighter, happier and stronger. To go onto reiki two you need to learn how to heal yourself before you are able to heal others. Therefore I waited about a year while practicing and took the next class. After that day my intuitive abilities opened up very strongly and I was now able to help assist in healing others. Long story short, I never thought I would go to the reiki master level where you are able to teach others reiki, but after four years I took it all the way.

After I became a reiki master teacher I became an integrated energy therapist, etc etc Just read my profile on my blog and you will see my credentials and how I really moved up from that one day that changed my destiny after being lost from six months of abuse. Next blog what is Reiki? Pronounced Ray ki. No i do not use a rake:)

Around and around we go...

I just realized that in 12 days I will turn 34. I started this blog right before I turned 33 which was the year of truth symbolically. What a year of truth it has been... I laugh to myself because all I seem to do was go around and around this blog... I threw down the meaning of truth and 33 like it was my job... Then i went off track into my life story to the past poems into the present and into the future. Next blog will be about what the hell the number 34 signifies. Who am i kidding... probably in a blog or so cause I have seemed to have halted on my life story months ago and need to catch up by April 21. By the age of 34 i will quickly bring you to the here and now of my life. I will rewind back to eight years ago and fast forward to the present. If you go back many blogs to April of 2012 or if any of you have been following, I stopped on a moment of where I lost who I was in my life. I never wrote about how i became an energy healer that changed my life for the better. Why did I do that? Maybe because this is a blog where people from all over the world read it. I get hits from every dam country. Or maybe this was the time in my life where I wasn't proud of who I became. Or I think maybe you who is reading right now does not really need or want to hear this. You may be my family member, a friend, or someone who cares about me and will get upset. Or you may be thinking I am still stuck in this realm. But maybe the other person who is reading the blog does need to listen to this message that I will share. Either way this is my experience that I will bring to the table. Why? A psychic approached me last week as i was sipping on my coffee outside and after struggling with the fact that I am one too I listened to her words for an hour. She explained that I need to help people with this issue that was once presented to me. More powerfully than most people who deals with this situation, I will strongly bring forth the strength that people will be able to lean on and become the rock that they are destined to become. She is not aware of my past situation or has any clue to this six months of bullshit at the age of about 25. After carefully mediating on her words I put them all together... To be continued...

Do you dare to rise or just settle?

Another poem from long ago.... Written words once spoken...
drive the road without pokin...
With the windows down feel the breeze within your knees.
Sing with a station in tune, smile at the sun and it will laugh with you. Breathe the air and it will exhale you. Dance with the rain and will flow with you. Look up at the moon and it will brighten you. But remember to make a wish while you are gazing up. Take a picture with you heart and not your eyes. Sleep when you cannot feel your feet but beat what makes you feel deep. Sunrises and sunsets. Grasp them every chance you get.
