How you can take charge of your life and heal your mind- body and spirit using awareness, perception, discernment, self reflection, Inner awareness, psychology, shamanic and Buddhist and Taoist traditions

Prayers do work: my story & the Gulf

I know first hand how amazing prayer is, when I was born, I was very early— nearly 3 months early.  I surprised everyone and still do my husband says. I was very small only 3 1/2 lbs and was not able to eat for the first month of my life. The doctors feed me thru tubes and watched me lose a third or more of my body weight. How did I live….to post this blog and be a healer?

One thing that keep me alive was the prayers of all my family, their friends, the doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and even other patients. My will and their prayers keep me alive. Alive long enough for them to do surgery and save my life.

So I know deep in my bones that prayers work. When I chant Buddhist prayers they have an affect. When I pray the ho’oponopono prayers of Hawai’i they work.

I hope you will pray for the gulf and not feel like there is nothing you can do . Because there is….. you can send your love, your energy  your prayers and hope !

And know that like no other event in our history this will usher in deep change . Pray for this as well . With all my love, Elizabeth…. A Pisces woman, who choose that.

I visualize the gulf— crystal clear and pristine again and hold this hope in my heart.  Mahalo.

Prayers for the Gulf

The first prayer came to me from Dr.Emoto.  It ‘s is a  ho’oponopono prayer.  Ho’oponopono means to make things right.

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and it’s surroundings. T the whales, dolphins, pelicans, shellfish, planton , coral, algae and all living creates I am sorry  Please forgive me. Thank you . I love you. “

This above prayer is a derivation of a prayer  I learn directly  from I’Haleakala Len, which may also be of great benefit.

It is simple and effective:

I’m sorry please forgive me for anything that is in me that has created this situation.

We are all depended upon oil in small ways and each of us is responsible for this event in the gulf.  I say this not to place blame on your shoulders but to demonstrate the cause-effect relationships that are alive in each of our lives.

If we pray we can make a BIG difference. These prayers are simple and I hope that you will take a moment out of your day to say these prayers.

SIOUX PRAYER REQUEST

A letter from Chief Arvol Looking Horse

Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Nation of the Sioux)

Sioux Prayer Request  for Gulf Coast Oil Spill –

****** A Great Urgency ******

To All Nations

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing Their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that

have been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc’I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That  the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether  it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

I work with clients from all over te US in person and by phone and have moved people beyond their problems for 20 + yrs. Much aloha,  Elizabeth

How to counter verbally abusive people

I was talking with a client the other day who was having an especially hard time with her verbally abusive and emotionally destructive boss. She expressed how upsetting it was to go to work and be immersed in a toxic workplace for 8 hrs a day. As she spoke I remembered something I learned years also in Hawai’i. What I learned was a quick and easy way to change a negatively charged memory or experience into a pleasant one. I know this is going to sound strange to some of you but try it the next time you are confronted with an angry or irate person.

Here is what you do, as the person is railing at you, imagine them in a clown suit, with a big nose, over-sized feet and see there lips flapping as they rant. Maybe even give them a tail, just make them as funny as you can imagine. What happens as you imagine the person this way is that you can’t help but to smile inwardly and maybe even giggle a bit to yourself.  What happens in your brain when you do this is that the memory or experience is stored differently, it moves to an area of your brain that hold pleasant images and memories and is no longer as traumatic as a result.

I did this once after a biting conversation with my mother -in- law that left me in tears. I went back and re-imagined the whole conversation and presto—- the energy and my reaction changed instantaneously—- just like that.  I felt better and was able to let it go which was a godsend.

My client used it right away and she just loved the clown she created in her mind’s eye of her abusive boss just Blah, Blah, Blahing at her. She said it really changed her entire experience.

Aries, the heat of summer is upon us.

As we move into the heat of summer Uranus and Jupiter will both be in Aries. Jupiter will move back into Pisces around the end of July but expect the unexpected til then.

Remember Uranus is about action and upheaval and Jupiter is the shaman or trickster. So when these two energies dance life is often full of surprises.

Mars has been in Leo and is moving into Virgo with Saturn and so this can lead to some frustration. Jupiter and Uranus love movement and Virgo is a bit more plodding. Saturn loves this, but Mars— well you might feel like a horse at the starting gate, who just wants to run the race  but you can’t get out of the gate.

Uranus and Jupiter may be reminiscent of  the 1960’s but with Aries involved it could be a hot headed summer especially around the end of July, when our judgment is a bit clouded like a foggy San Francisco day.

Change is a foot and that can be confusing with so many energies at play. So keep your cool, ground your energy.  Take walks in the trees or take a swim in a river or lake or at the beach!  And have fun that’s what Uranus and Jupiter are also about.

Find Happiness, Love, Healing, Confidence & Release your Fears

Discover the stories of men and women who have healed their relationships, fears, body symptoms, anger, doubts and anxieties by working with past life memories and chakra exploration. How memory is stored within us and how the mind can remember and we canheal our deepest wounds. How past life memories empower us to know who we are and that we are eternal. Full of potential gifts that are awaiting us as we heal our being.

Each of your charkas is a reservoir of information —spiritual energy, memories and emotions. Stored within each chakra are the answers and reasons why your life is how it is.

By awakening and shifting your attention you can perceive the stories and retrieve lost aspects of yourself that are just below the surface of your awareness.

Accessing these stories gives you the opportunity, often for the first time, to get to the bottom of the problems and challenges you face each day.

Whether you are working thru physical, emotional or relationship issues your charkas have the answers. The entire history of your consciousness can be found within your energy body. When you dip into this inner body of knowledge—empowerment happen. As you find your true self and deep lasting healing occurs!

For decades I have dove into my energy body, like a pearl diver, seeking answers and understanding and I have never failed to reap the benefits of this kind of inner exploration.

My clients for 20+ yrs have always been amazed at how such a simple and direct process can change everything.

Each of these men and women found answers, hidden within themselves. Understanding dawned, like the harvest moon and filled each person with light, so they could lo0k within and find their truth.

Each released their pain, sorrow, doubts, grief, betrayal, fears, anxiety and traumatic past.

Each of these men and women rediscovered themselves—as they peeled away layers that, like grime on a window, dimmed their inner light.

They came away happier, more relaxed, unafraid, more loving and gentler with themselves, confident self-assured and free from symptoms that plagued and confounded them.

Each in turn discovered the truth within their being and healed the heart of their being.

This is what I can offer you — self-discovery and healing that will transform you.

Lynn came to see me because she was experiencing a rapid and frightening heartbeat that felt as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest. She unearthed the past life memories that drove her heart to beat wildly in her chest. And she was able to resolve her congenital heart problem she had since birth. Her connection to the man she loved deepened as she relived a time when she had known him before. Intimacy and relief arose from our work together and replaced her self-doubt, pain and fear with love, confidence and healing.

Sara came to see me when she learned that the man she loved had been with another woman. This heartbreak opened the door to memories long forgotten both from the present and the past and deep healing as she worked thru the layers of betrayal that originated in England centuries ago. She was able forgive the man she loved and stay with him. Working thru the betrayal and pain of her past and present. She found love and trust both in herself and within her relationship and released, her fears, guilt, self- doubt and anger and found her true heart.

Sophia came to see me when she because of deep grief and unhappiness in her relationship. She discovered she could transform her doubts and self-hatred into self-acceptance and joy. And as a by-product found work she loves.

Anna came to see me when was unable to sleep and concentrate because of night terrors and dreams. She came to understand the past lives that were revolving in her nightmares and was finally able to put them to rest. Clarity and understanding blossomed as she released of her sense of being invisible and unseen in her life.

Jordan discovered why he and his ex-wife were always art odds, why he felt unappreciated, betrayed, incapable and sexually addicted. By releasing past life memories he regained his self–esteem, strength, and compassion for himself and the woman he had loved and had children with, enabling him to happily attend his daughter’s wedding.

Francesca finally understood her fear tall building, bridges and heights and worked through the layers of past life memories to restore and regain her ability to face her fears and not be afraid that she would die or that disaster would strike. Worry and fear receded. Deep peace, self-knowledge and a new sense of connection both in her community and to herself were what she found. And a balancing of her inner energies empowered her to be more herself – strong, discerning and confident.

These are just a few stories from 25 years of working in the field of energetic and  spiritual healing and past life integrative therapy. The past and present live within us and thru inner exploration of your charkas or energy centers we can find peace esteem happiness and love.

Hope in Disaster

The oil spill in the gulf is so horrible. It’s so immense it is hard to fathom.  But it may have a positive. As I was talking to a friend right after this  happened I mentioned that this might shift the tides on off shore drilling that Washington was considering.  And last night the pundits were expressing just that. I hope this is true .

Our oceans are so fragile and it seems that the powers that be can’t understand this. It’s just like the climate issues. I pray with all my heart that people in DC and around the world who are in power  will wake up, finally stop their bickering and step up and do the right thing. Hard to imagine I know but let’s pray for their awakening nonetheless. Om Ah Hung !

We are one planet and it takes participation and energy for change to manifest. Especially when those who wish to maintain the  status quo are still kicking and screaming like constipated 2 year olds. The good news is that this planetary set up that is happening this summer will begin a process of change—- thought it will be intense for a lot of people. Positive things will come out of all this.

Living with Pluto Square Saturn

Living with Pluto and Saturn square is not easy. Having it in my natal chart and at strong angles I can tell you firsthand, it is a challenging aspect to live with. These two energies as planets are about death, transformation the unconscious and revolution.

What we all need to remember this year, as this transit is alive in all our lives—- is to breath.  And even though events in the news may be fearful as the markets go up like a yo-yo and housing pricing dive like a surfer under a towering wave, we have to remember that we are in a revolution of spirit within the marketplace. We are moving to new uncharted ground and always when we are in these transitions anxiety will surface. This is natural, especially when the structures we have relied on and believed in falter.

Pluto in Capricorn brings the energy of transformation to the business and governmental sectors of our world. And as Pluto strips these foundations down to their bones fear is rampant. The old guard and ways of being and people stuck in these old structures panic and kick and scream. They don’t want to change and yet change is mandatory when Pluto is involved.

It is not an easy rebirth especially for those in power, who what the status quo to stay the same and be maintained. So as hard as it is, we have to not know and be okay with that. Let your frustrations go, and trust that the way will clear and we will be free to walk into the future humbled perhaps but empowered in the end.

As Pluto moves through Capricorn over the next decade the groundwork for a new government will be laid. It is out of the ashes like a Phoenix rising that we will be reborn.

Saturn will move on, later this summer and until then, know that Saturn as a wisdom energy is teaching us to slow down to be responsible and accountable. These are all good things even thought we may not like them Again it allows or empowerment to come into each of our lives.

So here’s to a collective deep breath and a counting to ten as we move into a summer of challenge and growth. Be kind yet fierce and loving to yourself and all those you met.

What to Do When You Are So Exhausted !

Regain vitality, momentum, joy and fire in your belly!

Why do an energy meditation when you have no energy? I know you are thinking, “I’m just too exhausted to concentrate” and at the same time another part of you is may be thinking, “Wow, maybe this will work”, and I can start doing more of the things I love.

Exhaustion can be so debilitating, you feel too tired to play with your kids, tackle work projects or even take care of yourself. It’s just too much, too overwhelming to even think about!

But don’t you want to take back your life and be free of the weight and oppression of the exhaustion you are feeling and have energy that is vital, joyous and expansive, like when you were are our best in the past or when you were a child perhaps?

How would it feel to have that kind of unlimited energy again? How would it be to feel it all the way down to your bones?

I created a meditation for women just like you, who are deflated by exhaustion. They are just too tired to do anything some days, because of physical symptoms, emotional concerns, family and work pressures. They are exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically. But there is hope.

What I have learned for myself is that it really helps to understand the inherent energy of the emotion you are feeling. What this means is you have to let yourself—– feel what you are feeling. It’s not always pleasant but this is a first step.

Personally what I have noticed it that exhaustion feels heavy, like a weight, as if someone has draped a wet blanket over me. You know the feeling. Right?

You just feel weighted down by the exhaustion. It’s overwhelming and oppressive. You feel trapped by this heaviness and just can’t get moving or excited about anything. You are just too tired to think or even move.

What I have found in working with others and within myself is that it is necessary to work through the layers of the exhaustion that you are feeling, to deeply relax and give into the exhaustion- without hesitation or fear, in order to move beyond it. I know this may sound scary, who wants to feel something they don’t like, right? But if you feel the exhaustion and release it from the cells, bones and tissues within your body, your energy can then return. I have seen this again and again.

So what I have done to help you and others like you is to create a meditation/ visualization exercise you can do at home on your own. Many of my clients have used this and have experienced dramatic change. Their energy has returned and they have told me they feel lighter and less burdened as a result.

How would that feel, pretty good, huh? Exhaustion is such a part of so many of our lives and with the economy being so challenging many of you are working harder than ever before. I know I am. So would you like more energy? Would you like to release the very essence of the exhaustion you are feeling from your very cells?

If so, I encourage you to go to my website (the link is down below on the bottom of the page). Once at my site you will find a link for this meditation and an audio if you prefer to listen to the meditation.

Here are a few things that can help you be successful, right now.

1. Find a quiet undisturbed place where you can sit or lie down for 10 -15-mins.without interruptions (some of my clients say they do this visualization in the bath)

2. Breathe deep into your belly and allow your body to relax. Allow the breath to flow from your chest into your belly and breath easily and effortlessly like a baby breathes.

3. Allow your thoughts to be like clouds in the sky—juts floating by, no need to grab onto them or follow them just let them go.

4. Finally, be curious with no judgments please. Whatever arises is important for you to release so if thoughts, emotions or memories arise let them, just be curious—- without any preconceived judgments or notions.

I know this meditation/visualization will help you. It helped me and has helped my clients ever sense I first channeled the process many years ago. Just know you don’t have to live with feeling tired any more. This simple direct practice will reinvigorate and revitalize you. You will have energy again. You can take back control of you life and feel better now.
