Where Do We Go From Here?

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Tue, 03 May 2011 15:15:52 +0000

The death of Osama bin Laden provided an opportunity to really look at what’s going on here? As a woman who provides healing and guidance to others, I watched the news, read Facebook postings and wondered.
I remember the September 11th attacks. I heard stories of near misses of friends being diverted from going to the World Trade Towers in favor of driving their kids to school that day. I felt the grief and loss of so many lives. I wondered why was there so much hate in the world? How could someone hate so much to kill thousands of people? How can I live in this world with this kind of fear and hatred?
Our society is based in fear. We live in fear of what we don’t know. We fear our neighbors, people from different religions, different cultures, different socioeconomic backgrounds and political beliefs. We fear.
Lightworkers, healers and other religious people talk of love, acceptance, forgiveness and yet, we revel in the death of someone who hates and acted on his hate. Why do we give so much attention to him? Why keep him in the spotlight? Why put that kind of energy to it? He deserved no attention. He deserved nothing from us. His death doesn’t end the fear or hatred?
A quote was posted on Facebook by Martin Luther King and it turns out the quote was misquoted. I searched the quotes and found the writings of Martin Luther King. I was blown away. What a mind, heart and soul whose words are still here for us. To learn from and grow from.
On August 16, 1967, Dr. King gave his “Where Do We Go From Here?” speech in Atlanta. In the transcript of the speech there appears this passage:”
“I’m concerned about a better world. I’m concerned about justice; I’m concerned about brotherhood; I’m concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about that, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can’t murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can’t establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot put out darkness; only light can do that.”

Where do we go from here? Do we continue to repeat the past? Do we continue to fear what we don’t know? Do we start a conversation about what’s right in the world and shine our own light? Do we reach out to someone we don’t know to try and understand and learn from?
I too am concerned about a better world. I’m concerned about justice and I feel that justice isn’t done until we learn to learn to understand and accept our differences. I can’t advocate violence even though I’m capable of it. I am concerned for truth, but that truth lives within and I live by it.. Darkness resides in us by virtue of being human. Light is also apart of being human. I choose to use my light to show me where to go from here. Light is not just a spiritual concept. It’s a human one as well.
We are in darkness when we choose to hate no matter how good the reason may seem.
Where do we go from here? Martin Luther King Jr. I miss you terribly. I didn’t know how much until today. I am committing to reading your words and understanding your mission more fully.
A light that still shines and shows me where I go from here.

Giving Thanks

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 17:14:32 +0000

My mother passed away 5 years ago and I kept a cookbook that my grandmother had. I was looking through it and it reminded me of the holidays we used to have. Family and food went hand in hand. The comfort of familiar tastes went through my mind as I perused the cookbook.
When my mother was alive and I was cooking for my own family, she asked me why I was trying a new recipe. I retorted, “because I want to.” I was rebelling in my own way by making cornbread stuffing rather than my mother’s and grandmother’s.
This Thanksgiving, my children will be with their dad. My dad is in North Carolina and my sister with her family in Arizona.
My good friend Liz and I are going to make food. It will be healthy and it will be different. I will make some rolls that my grandmother made. There will be something familiar at this year’s dinner. I will give thanks for all that I have, the family that I love and my good friend who will be with me to share laughter and good food.

I wish each of you a happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your family, food and tradition. Here is my grandmother’s recipe for refrigerator rolls
Enjoy!
Refrigerator Rolls (makes 3 dozen)
1 1/2 C Milk
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C shortening
2 tsp. salt.
2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1/2 C warm water
2 beaten eggs
6-7 C sifted flour

Scald mild and pour over sugar, shortening and salt. Cool mixture until it’s lukewarm. Add eggs to yeast mixture and stir well. Add compbined yeast and egg to the milk mixture. Now add half the sifted flour to the lquid mixture and beat thoroughly. Add enough flour to make a soft dough and knead it until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, brush lightly with melted butter or shortnening, cover with plate and a towel and store in the
refrigerator until it is needed. When ready to use, cut off the amount you want and return the remainder to the refrigerator immediately. Shape dough into rolls as desired-place on greased baking sheet, brush lightly with melted butter, cover with clean cloth and let rise for 2 hours. Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.

Get Tapping with Maryanne Lane!

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 18:26:35 +0000

“That’s a tappable issue!” says Maryanne Lane LMT, CNMT, EFT Cert-1, when I mention something that is bothering me. Maryanne uses a technique called EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique to help get to core issues.

I had been aware of EFT for many years, but using Maryanne to guide me through the issues, helped me move through things quickly. Maryanne can work on the phone and that was a tremendous service.

Because of her work, I have dissolved weight, set healthier boundaries, and have felt healing from grief and emotional traumas that have occurred in my life. Some of the issues Maryanne can address with EFT are ADD, weight issues, alcohol, heights, claustrophobia, rejection, flying, marriage, headaches and failure. Maryanne can help with any issue you have whether it’s emotional, spiritual and physical.

Maryanne started using the Emotional Freedom Technique in 2001 and taught it to a Mayan Village in Belize on a trip in 2004. Healthcare is miles away so it comes in handy to be able to resolve issues quickly.

She loves helping people free themselves of the emotional baggage that bogs down the physical body creating illness and disease. Incurable is not a word I use..In-CURE-able (you are able to cure from within) it works!

Eyes Pried Open

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:58:59 +0000

Open your eyes. I am a naive person sometimes. I believe in the best of people, I believe in truth. I never expect that when someone tells me something about themselves, it’s a total fabrication. A total lie. Maybe they believe it. Maybe when they say something, at that moment they believe this is true. I read something a long time ago about how we energetically try to control each other, how we jockey for power.
I understand this as when we meet someone or we connect with them, we want them to value us, to like us to want to be a part of their lives somehow.
I wanted to believe that everything a “friend” told me was true. I wanted him to be that knight in shining armor that could take me away from it all and give me a Calgon bath.
Well, the truth has a funny way of showing up. In my case, I felt something was off. My trusted friends questioned my friendship with this person. They pointed out discrepancies in his stories. I wanted to believe the truth and got stirred up when they gently and lovely tried to pry my eyes open.
One day, I prayed. “Show me the truth.” The Universe opened up. I had data, information, courage to look deeper. My answers came to me.
What to do with this now? I prayed. I got on my knees and asked. The answer came. The calm sat in my belly. The action taken. The difficult road ahead.
Am I still naive? Probably. Will I trust blindly? No.
I learned that not everyone walks a path of integrity.
I learned that people tell lies for many reasons.
I learned that the truth set me free. I hope it does for others.
I have compassion for those with illnesses that keep them from the truth of themselves. Perhaps, its just too painful to look at. A life created from fabrications. A intricate weaving of untruth.
Spiritually, we all are lies. We live fictitious lives. The seekers of truth get glimpses of who we really are. Do we believe? I don’t know. I just keep asking for truth. The Universe always responds. Blessings.

Go with the Flow Financially

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:31:48 +0000

Resistance is futile. When dealing with an issue in my life especially if it is in regard to my new financial conditioning, I resist. I notice I fall back into old patterns and habits that breed frustration. The outcome for me is not getting where I want to go financially.

I have been learning that the resistance is usually connected to an old belief, which is tied to not having enough. Even though, in reality, I have plenty. More than enough, money time and resources to get whatever I need.

The angel card of today is Honesty. I am being honest with myself so that I can move through the resistance and into the flow of energy that feels better, especially around finances. I decided to create a sacred space when I deal with my money. I light a prosperity candle, dab myself with “Money Draw” oil from my favorite Coventry Creations and pay my bills.

I found that treating this piece of managing my money as sacred, helps me to trust and see evidence that there is more. Today, I invite you to create your sacred space around money. Release the resistance by taking some new action.

Compassion Within

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:13:36 +0000

Today, the word “Compassion” came up in my angel cards. To understand compassion I referred to the dictionary. The definition of Compassion is Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.

Deep awareness requires self questioning and I ask myself where is there suffering in myself that is being mirrored to me by another? I get a bit stuck on the word “deep.” Deep for me means not on the surface. On the surface, I may be manifesting something like a headache or physical discomfort, but what within myself is suffering?

The trigger this morning was reading about James Ray’s arrest and charged with manslaughter in connection to the deaths at his retreat seminar in Arizona. The deaths occurred after participation in a ceremony sweat lodge.

This concerned me on a number of levels. I could list them all and explain, but through conversation and mediation, the realization is compassion.

I can have compassion for James Ray and for the people who were impacted by this event. I can have awareness that there is suffering by all that were directly and indirectly involved. I don’t know the whole story, nor do I need to. I don’t think we will ever know the whole or true story. It surely doesn’t matter in any case. I have a wish to relieve it and the only way I can do that is through understanding the part of me that is suffering.

What I’ve come to understand is that I believe we all have a part to play in this world. This event saddens me and helps me to be aware of my beliefs around money, power, ego and the sacredness of it all. I don’t have answers only more questions. Not of other people and their choices, actions or responsibility, but of my own.

Today, I will be compassionate to myself. I will relieve my suffering by sending love and light to all who need it today. I hope that in that others may feel the ripple effect and find that place within. To everyone who was and is impacted by the event in Arizona, I send love.

crea·tivi·ty

yourpsychicgirlfriend — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:03:48 +0000

What are you creating today?

I pulled the angel card “Creativity” today. It reminded me of how we are all artists of our lives. We are creating our lives through our thoughts, feelings, words we use and actions we take. Each day is an experience of that combination.

When I think of creativity, I think more in terms of expressing myself through art. We can use art to reduce stress, release anger, resolve conflicts, get in touch with feelings and to give voice to your soul.

Today, I invite you to explore yourself through art. Pick up that box of crayons or glue gun and create something. You don’t have to be Martha Stewart, just allow the energy of creativity to flow.

Enjoy!

Be Creative!
