CUTENESS OVERLOAD! and Past Lives

Hi, Healers! Shield your eyes! The cuteness might blind you! Yesterday, we took Addie into my pool for the first time this summer. She is now about 19 months old, a great age to really engage and enjoy the water. We had such a blast! I sat on the steps and watched Pat play in the shallow end with her, and every now and again, I took her around the shallow end myself.

Eating fresh fruit before pool time:

In the adorable bathing suit I bought for her to leave at my house:

Laughing and splashing:

Playing on the steps with me:

Swimming:

Snuggling with daddy:

How cute are these pictures?!?! I hope you enjoyed them!

As for my past lives, they are so interesting! In my first life, I was a woman during biblical times hiding with my group from those in power. It was a time of great persecution, and I was protecting our knowledge (think the Essenes or Illuminati). There was great famine and illness because we were hidng in caves, basically on the run. I had to make a choice between my child and protecting this knowledge, and I had a great split with God over this. In my second life, I was a male Civil War soldier that lost a leg on the battle field and died there with a split from God again. The common thread is that I need to reconnect with God in this lifetime in order to release this illness and heal my past lives. In this lifetime, I also had a split from God, and that is when my illness began. 

What is fabulous about this for me is that locating these issues is enough for me to let them go. Now, I can move forward and work on my relationship with Source to heal myself. Interestingly enough, in this life, I NEVER wanted children. I am 25 years old, raised in a fabulous family, but I never wanted children. In fact, I have been fiercely against having children! Perhaps, my first life and losing my child has created this random opposition to having children in this life?

Check back for my next post, which will be a great essay by Lynn.

Happy Healing!

Picture Trail: Akashic Record Opening, Delicious Raw Goodies, Baby, Shorter, and Me

Hi, Healers! Nothing much has been going on with me except lots of healing - eating plant-based foods, juicing, nurturing my pup and Addie, practicing gentle yoga, meditating, praying, doing some work for crazysexylife.com, etc. What have you been doing to heal lately?

 I picked up some raw goodies at my favorite local health food store.

Gnosis (Power Choc) and Righteously Raw (Maca) chocolate bars:

Raw coconut butter with goji berries (INCREDIBLE!):

Mint Chip Raw Macaroons:

Addie on the beach:

Watching cartoons with the babies:

Delicious summer breakfasts:

Lynn and I opened my Akashic Records today, and it was fascinating! It answered a lot of questions as to why I am holding onto this illness in this life, and it also answered a lot of other questions for me not having to do with the illness. It was so powerful that I had to hold back tears. Basically, I have to heal my past lives by reconnecting with God in this life. I am hesitant to go into detail because it is so fresh. Next time, I will explain what those lives were and what they mean for me today. I need to sit with this information tonight and see if I get anymore insights before I share with the world.

Check back for my past lives and another beautiful post from Lynn.

Happy Healing!!!!

Love,

Shorter and Maria

     

RANTING: Addiction, Children, and the REAL Solution!

When I wasn’t feeling well after my semester ended, I indulged in several entertaining and educational documentaries. I am a documentary junkie. My view is that it is impossible to become well versed in EVERYTHING, but I will continue to try. I love learning! One particular documentary addressed the growing dilemma Florida’s opiate dispensing has caused Florida and its surrounding states. Until recently, Florida lacked any laws in place to regulate the imparting of opiates from doctor to patient, enticing money hungry professionals to put up a shingle and dispense opiates to addicts on the spot for cash only. Finally, a law has been put in place that will be enacted at the end of 2010 to regulate opiate dispension, but it is my theory that this is not the answer.

While my disdain for money hungry doctors who take advantage of the vulnerable is an obvious dissatisfaction, it is not my main gripe with this situation. Our government believes that “fixing” the abuse of substances lies within regulating their availability, but this has proved to be like a butterfly band aid on a bullet wound year after unproductive year, as seen in the fabulously successful “war on drugs” (sense the sarcasm?). In order to fix these unforgiving conditions, the social ills that cause them must be addressed, otherwise, the root of the problem is left untouched and generation after generation continue to struggle. I have said this time and time again, SUBSTANCE ADDICTION IS NOT ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE. The problems to address are underlying emotional and spiritual disturbances, and the substance abuse is the symptom of those disturbances. (I empathize greatly with those who struggle with addiction, and I am so proud of those of you who are working toward recovery.)

Why not put just half of the time, effort, money, and manpower used to regulate substances and arrest, try, convict and house individuals guilty of drug related charges in jail to create a mandatory parenting course? Wouldn’t it be best to challenge the root of drug and alcohol addiction, whose pathology can VERY often be attributed to misguided or just plain poor parenting, to secure the next generation’s health and wellness? More often than not, broken parents raise broken children that turn into broken adults. This isn’t a news flash to anyone reading.

We live in a society where it is more difficult to obtain a passport than it is to have offspring, which is the most precious and DIFFICULT role and gift one can ever be bestowed (this coming from someone who never even wanted children!). Generally, children are born into this world PERFECT, and we f*ck them up! Then, these same children, who are now adults, spend the rest of their lives trying to get back to that place of perfection, which existed without any effort when they were born! This is so ass backward! - Lynn and I have had this conversation many times - And these “social ills” will NEVER be controlled or lessened until they are viewed from this perspective or one similar.  I don't have all the answers, but I do believe healing starts here.

Lack of education, misguided intentions (good and bad), generational cycles of abuse, having children for ALL of the wrong reasons, and just plain ignorance create pathology in children over and over and over again. Of course, there are exceptions to EVERYTHING, but it is absolutely mind-boggling to consider that many of our social problems originate from relational disturbances in adolescence. Before you have a child, examine your reasoning for bringing an innocent light being into this world. Deep introspection never hurt anyone. And government, stop wasting your time and money on band aid solutions that prove to fail year after year. Can't we start truly healing?

Happy (TRUE) Healing!

Self-Acceptance Part II: How To Increase Self-Love

Hi, Healers! I am happy to FINALLY present you with my personal tips for creating self-love. This is a follow-up to my Self-Acceptance Part I essay.

It is important for you to remember that I was not always this "well-adjusted." It has been five years since my pain began, and it has taken many hours of mental health therapy and spiritual counseling, a few dozen books, and much introspection for me to get where I am today. I am always a work in progress, but my improvements have been immeasurable. Letting go of ego and self-judgment have been integral in my healing and self-acceptance (remember, I even had an eating disorder in the past).

In our society, admitting self-love is so taboo, as if by saying, "I love myself," we are narcissistic! I can say that I love myself loud and proud, and I am more detached from my ego than most of America. What I am saying is that I am proud of myself, I am in awe of my beautiful, remarkable human body, and I am looking forward to constantly improving myself as I travel toward enlightenment.

Here is what I have done to get to the place of total love for myself:

1. Gratitude: My first suggestion is helpful in many areas of life, but spending time being grateful for what you love about yourself and your life leaves less time for you to focus on what you do not like about yourself and your life. Before you even touch your feet to the ground in the morning, say a little prayer for what you are grateful for. It starts the day off right!

2. Affirmations: Many individuals get stuck when it comes to affirmations. They do them every single day, several times a day, and religiously without any real results, and they become frustrated and quit. Here is the problem: only saying affirmations WILL NOT work. It is important to say the affirmation, but it is equally, if not more, important to attach a positive EMOTION to it. For example, as you say, "I create abundance in my life," you must feel gratitude for the abundance you are receiving. Does this make sense? This goes for all affirmations, including affirmations to raise self-love.

Here are a few from Louise L. Hay:

-"My body represents perfection. I am vibrantly healthy."

-"No person, place, or thing has any power over me, for I am the only thinker in my mind."

-"I am perfect just as I am."

-"I only speak words that are positive, loving, and constructive."

Remember, practice makes perfect, and changing years of self-loathing may not happen over night. Be patient, be kind to yourself, and repetition, repetition, repetition!

3. Altruism: The act of helping others does several things to help boost self-love. First, it brings you outside of your own head and changes your focus, almost like a really great, helpful distraction! Second, it provides you with a reason to feel good about yourself and proud about who you are and what your purpose is here on this earth. Giving back and affecting changes in the lives of the vulnerable and oppressed makes me love who I am even more. Start small by going out of your way to smile at a stranger or hold the door for someone. Then, work up to volunteering or even changing your line of work to a helping profession.

4. Tighten Your Inner Circle: Only surround yourself with people who mirror your self-love and acceptance back to you. If someone in your life is detrimental to your self-acceptance, distance yourself.

5. Read: I've mentioned this tip several times. Reading self-help and spiritual books can be very therapeutic because you are being introduced to new ways of looking at yourself and the world around you. Integrate what strikes you into your new belief system and leave behind what does not inspire. It is like a self-love buffet!

6. Share Your God-Given Gifts: Going along with altruism, share your gifts and talents with the world. If you are gifted in the arts, most likely, the act of creating makes you feel good about yourself. Find out your talents and what activities increase your self-love and share them with the world.

7. Pray, Meditate, Become Closer to God: What greater way to increase your self-love than to get in touch with God and the divine within you. God is the ultimate expression of love, and getting to know God means you are getting to know yourself in connection with the whole (the rest of life).

Okay, that's all for now! Let me know what you think, and I will add more if they come to mind. I love to hear your personal stories and ideas, and I am an open book. If you have any questions, just ask!

Happy Healing!

How to Survive as a Sensitive Indigo Adult

Hi, Healers! Are you an Indigo Adult like Lynn and me (and my parents)? Do you often feel you don't belong in the "normal" world? Are you extremely sensitive to other people's feelings and energy in general? Do you have a strong need to impact the world and create change and healing? Do you have strong intuition? Are you creative, intelligent, and empathetic? Do you seek meaning in life? Guess what?! You are an Indigo Adult! You should be so proud because you have been put on this earth to usher in the new consciousness during the Aquarian Age. Consider this a MAJOR strength because you are part of the "chosen one's!"

Previously, Lynn described her difficulty with being a sensitive child, and like her, I once thought these characteristics of mine were a negative. I thought I was too sensitive and wanted to help people to a fault, even long past what most people would consider dealing with. Now, I see my Indigo nature as a strength because there is a great quiet power that comes with being an Indigo Adult.

Now, Lynn is going to teach you how to survive as a sensitive adult.

Enjoy!

Maria xoxoxo

P.S. My next post will be that long awaited "Self-Acceptance Part II," (here is Part I) where I will give tips on how to raise self-love! Check back super soon!

How To Survive as A Sensitive, Empathic Adult in This World

Over these last few posts, I have mentioned that I am someone who is very sensitive. A lot of you seemed to identify with being sensitive as well. I have found in my work that many people who are dealing with chronic pain issues or autoimmune disease are also incredibly sensitive and empathic (they feel other peoples feelings without having been told what the person is experiencing).

Because of this, I want to take a minute to explain a little more about what we as sensitives deal with on a daily basis. Those of us who are sensitive often do not realize that we feel and take on OTHER people's feelings, fears, physical illnesses, etc. without knowing that we have done this. On top of that, if we are empathic and intuitive, we can be bombarded by the fears, anxieties and depression of the collective unconscious; often times, we will end up in bed not understanding why we are so unhappy when nothing specific has happened to us. We do not see that we have internalized a wave or field of emotion and energy that we did not produce. Consequently, it is imperative that we find a way to distinguish between what is ours and what is theirs.

I was having a particularly emotional afternoon the other day for no particular reason. All of a sudden, I realized that I was experiencing a mood that was from others and most likely from their subconscious. For whatever reason, people in general were down that day or just a bit filled with anxiety and I was picking up on it. When I was clear that I was not really upset about any one thing in particular, I was able to allow the mish mash of feelings to just wash over me and then go – I recognized it and then allowed it to leave me. It was not mine to begin with, so I had no reason to hang on to it.

When I was younger, I did not understand this, nor did my family. I was so adept at feeling what others were feeling, that I could shift gears in a moment. This was very frightening for me and I am sure it caused my parents a great deal of concern since I was unable to articulate what was really going on. It has only been in the last ten years or so that I now know why this was happening to me and how to control it in a way that does not completely unhinge my life.

If you are a sensitive person, give yourself a break. Realize that you are very, very blessed even if you do not know that you just yet. When you feel something so intensely, ask yourself if this might be a feeling that others are sending out and not your own. If so, simply relax and acknowledge your ability to sense this; let the feeling simply be and then allow it to go away. It was never yours to begin with and now that you know this, you can just allow it to move on somewhere else.

Before you leave the house and you know you are going out somewhere with a lot of people around such as a mall, movie or concert, be sure to center yourself. Feel your feet on the floor (no rubber soles, please as that grounds your energy!) connect your feet down into the energy of the earth. Feel gratitude for Mother Earth or Gaia and your connection to her. Then visualize a beautiful white, silver or gold light coming up from your feet, through your body and out of your head into the heavens.

From here you are now connected to your Higher Power, whatever that is to you. Keep this connection and feel the amazing love and power that you are now plugged into. Once you feel this, allow that beautiful white, silver or gold light to surround you as well. See it keeping your protected and safe – you can always adjust it if you feel you cannot allow enough in. When you feel you are perfectly shielded, then you can go out and enjoy yourself without being overstimulated by others energy or emotions.

If for some reason you come home feeling overwhelmed despite your best efforts, then you can do two very easy and helpful things. One, light a candle and ask your Higher Power and your Spirit Guides to clear you of all outside negative or powerful energy and emotion that is not your own. See yourself clear and cleansed. Additionally, take a relaxing shower or bath and rinse away this extra energy or emotion! This will really help you...if you are somewhere where you cannot shower or bath, just splash water on your face and arms as a substitute! Always, always drink plenty of water to rinse out toxins that have found their way inside (it's also really good for your skin!)

There are also crystals which you can carry with you or wear that will assist with all of this; however, I am a strong believer that you must learn how to control and deal with this on your own first. By doing so, you may just find out some really neat things about yourself and your abilities as a sensitive! I did and am incredibly grateful for these gifts today.

Any questions my fellow sensitives and empaths? Just ask! I am happy to help you navigate this world~

Grades, Ketamine Infusion, Akashic (Past Life) Records, Picture Trail

Hi, Healers! Sorry I have been absent lately. My grad semester ended, and I crashed, as usual. Pain rose, PMS came and stayed too long, sinuses clogged, and some weird 24 hour bug came and went. I am starting to feel like myself again, but the last week or so has kept me from blogging or really catching up with you all the way I wanted to. After my semesters end, I usually reject the computer for awhile (sick of siiting infront of it for months).

Good news! I received all A's again! At this rate, I will have no problem getting into a Ph.D. program! Funny how one can master graduate school and shoot for a Ph.D. but cannot figure out how to heal her own body from RSD/CRPS. I've mastered the mind, but now it is time to master the body and the soul.

My patience is wearing thin for this illness for many reasons. I was given a date for my inpatient ketamine infusion, July 12th. For several logistic reasons, I took it. I go back and forth on whether or not I want to go through that again, but my desire to heal so I can share my gifts with the world is much stronger than any fear or apprehension. Only time will tell.

Lynn and I are working on some really fascinating things, and today, we are going to open my Akashic Records (past life records) to see if any past life experiences are keeping me ill. My goal, of course, is to heal myself so that I don't have to go into the hospital.

Now, for some fun!

Picture Trail, DONE with Finals, Indigo Adults, and a Message from Lynn

Hi, Healers! I am DONE with my second year of graduate school! Woohoo! My pain spiked, and I started to feel quite sick this week. Last night was the first time I started to feel better. It is no coincidence that my physical condition improves after chats with Lynn, my spiritual advisor and good friend. She connects me to some universal energy source that perks me up and recharges me for a few days.

I am excited to do a lot of reading this summer and to deepen my connection with God. Lynn and I have discovered that this is going to be very important for my healing - to live God and not just think about Source when I am in need or meditating, etc.

In my spirituality and social work course, we had a little "end of the year party."

Of course, I brought the raw veggies and garlic hummus:

Lynn and I are, just as many of my sweet, compassionate, sensitive readers might be, are what you call "Indigo Adults." These are intuitive, spiritual children born into the world to help with the shift in consciousness that is taking place. We are highly sensitive, physically and emotionally, we feel seperate from the "normal" world and are highly dissatisfied with it, feel a driving need to contribute to the world, are introspective, intelligent, and deep thinkers by nature, etc. Right now, I am reading the book "Indigo Adults: Understanding Who You Are And What You Can Become," by Kabir Jaffe and Ritama Davidson, to better understand myself and my gifts, which I viewed as weaknesses in the past.

Now, here is a message from Lynn describing her experiences with sensitivity and other important issues.

Enjoy!

Happy Healing!

Here is a follow up to my last post ...this one better explains the "What you think of me is none of my business" philosophy!

What You Think of Me is None of My Business and Why That is True!

I want to explain a little bit more about my “what you think of me is none of my business”philosophy. I call this my living free code, because when I live in this way, I am no longer bound by trying to get someone to like me or to agree with me.

Unfortunately for those of us who have had any therapy or read a self-help book in the last ten years, we have been told the exact opposite of this. Instead we have been trained to “find our voice” and “set appropriate boundaries” so that no one will have a chance to abuse us. We have had enough abuse in our lives, so will we not allow anyone to wipe their feet on us again! This is our new battle cry.

Now here comes someone like me telling you to take responsibility only for yourself and to stay out of other people's paths. Is she crazy? This flies in the face of all that we have learned and gained over the last few years!

Today however, I realize that life is never just dealt to us. Instead, we are co-creators and co-artists in painting or sculpting whatever masterpiece we choose! We can choose to paint by numbers or we can create our own Picasso, Rodin or Michelangelo! There is no limit to what we are able to experience!

This is how it works:

Each of us is born perfect and with a perfect, divine blueprint within. Unfortunately over time, we receive bits and pieces of information and plug into collective memories that are not perfect! Our hardware is perfect, but the software we acquire is not – it is full of viruses! Yet over the years, we begin to believe that the software is right and we or the hardware is flawed! More and more we begin to see what is not perfect about us and in doing so, we reject ourselves. As we further devalue ourselves, we become attracted to others much like us – flawed, hurt and angry people.

The only way out of this for good is to do a thorough cleaning of the hardware and software – we need to debug everything! We have to get rid of all the errors and collective harmful memories in order to reset ourselves to that perfect divine blueprint. Much of this can be accomplished with an inventory of ourselves and by examining the limiting beliefs we continue to use. (There are lots of techniques for doing this and I can write about those later.)

Once we do our cleaning and clearing, we are ready to go back to the beginning and discover who we really are. I have always believed that God does not make mistakes, so there is a good bet that God did not make any mistakes in creating me! I started by looking at those labels that I had been given early on in life. These labels usually spoke to something that was innate within me.

I assure you, I am not crazy. I am completely sane and able to live a life that I once thought was only reserved for the happy few and that was clearly not me! I was at the mercy of what life gave me and each day I was barely existing.

For example, I was very, very sensitive to everything and my family considered this a weakness. They believed that I needed thicker skin to navigate this world. I have said before that because of their interpretation of my sensitivity, I began to believe that something was wrong with me.

In order to find the truth about this, I decided to ask myself the following questions: “Why would God create me as such a sensitive being? Why does this world need sensitive people? How is sensitivity a positive and not a negative?” In trying to answer these questions, I discovered my intuitive, psychic and empathic gifts! These were traits or abilities that I had always had, but I had never embraced them as such due to my old beliefs.

I am also someone who has always loved people way past their “expired by” date! I am able to care for someone no matter what, even if I am being hurt! There was a book out many years ago titled “Women Who Love Too Much” and it portrayed women like me as weak! Once again, I asked myself why God created me with this quality. In answering this, I found that I am a natural born healer!

As I “re-raised” myself with compassion and understanding, I began to realize just how special I am and how much I value and like myself. I no longer see myself as wasted potential! Instead, I know myself to be a loving, kind and powerful spiritual being. I am not a mistake!

By doing this work, I began to love myself deeply. This love is so powerful a force that it completely shifted my energy and spiritual make-up, activating a magnet within me. This is a magnet which attracts only people and experiences into my life that are meant to further me as a loving spiritual being. The people I now meet are sensitive, loving, healing and kind! Before this when I did not like myself, I was a “creep magnet”! I could always attract those people who would prey on my deepest insecurities (hence why I needed boundaries and a voice!).

Today I no longer need to worry about attracting the wrong kinds of people or experiences into my life. That just does not happen unless there is some reason I need to do this. When this happens, it is because I have a new lesson to learn or there is another old belief still hiding!

If I find that I have attracted someone or something into my life that is reminiscent of my old belief system, I stop and look at what is going on. I do not get angry with myself or at the other person. Instead, I ask why I might have needed to bring this kind of person or experience into my life today. The answer will always come to me within a day or two! Usually it is in the form of an “Ah-ha” moment which allows me to release the person or experience instantaneously. Some call this process Uncover, Discover and Discard!

Today I live in total freedom. I take full responsibility for everything I think, I feel, I say and I do. If any one of those is off, it is my duty to set it right by doing the work; however, because I love who I am today, I am inspired to do the work and to make any changes necessary that will promote my spiritual growth. I have purpose in life and am passionate about who I am and what I do.

Years ago, some people who were trying to help me told me never to quit before the miracle! Today, I know what they meant by this and I am so glad that I took their advice! Please don't quit before your miracle.

**EDIT with message from Lynn** End of the Semester and Important Acupuncture Findings/Information for RSD/CRPS

Here I am with another graduate school semester coming to a close. Four more courses and a field placement, and I will have a Master's of Social Work! I will be dragging out those courses, two a semester, because the second year field placement, over 300 hours, is to be completed over the Fall and Spring semesters.

As I finish up my finals, I can't help but give myself a big pat on the back for continuing to move toward my goals despite the disabling conditions RSD/CRPS presents with. Each day, despite the pain and discomfort, I choose to wake up and renew my attitude of gratitude and joy and quest for spiritual/personal development and healing. While certain days present a greater challenge than others, the love and support I receive from my family and the knowledge that my healing is just around the corner has created resilience and patience conducive to goal achievement and all around healing.

 

Today, my acupuncturist and I started treatments to specifically reset the sympathetic nervous system and bring the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems into balance and harmony. There are specific acupuncture points along the front and back of the body that do this. Remember, RSD/CRPS is a malfunctioning of the sympathetic nervous system, where it takes normal stimuli as disproportionately painful. As part of this therapy, I have spots on my ears that are "marked" with "little tan sticky things," and I am to press as hard as possible with the thumb and index finger, while massaging in a circular motion. This is to be done 4x a day for 30 seconds each time, and these acupuncture points "reset" the sympathetic nervous system. I am excited to see where this takes me, so stayed tuned! Basically, this is acupuncture's way of doing what a ketamine infusion aims to do, drug free and less invasive!

 

Also, here is a bit of information about acupuncture for those of us with pain conditions - if your sensitivity is very high like it is for those with RSD/CRPS (some cannot even stand light touch), ask your acupuncturist to always use the "small needles." Even on my most painful areas, the small needles do little damage. This should take away any fears or apprehensions you have about trying acupuncture with RSD/CRPS. Everyone is different, but I have used both small and large needles, and I can tell you that the small needles leave me very comfortable and do not cause any flaring. On the other hand, the big needles do cause flaring, so be careful!

 

Look forward to a follow-up post from Lynn and posts by me on the topics of the subconscious mind, loving your illness, self-acceptance, and recognizing the divine within you. If you have any specific order you would like me to address these topics in, just let me know!

 

Happy Healing!


**Message from Lynn in response to my experiences today:**

Maria,







I think this is an amazing example of what is supposed to happen when you energetically connect with a healer or spiritual counselor! The other day, I was TOLD by your guides and my guides to ask you when your next accupuncture appointment was going to be! I was instructed that I should energetically and spiritually connect with your mind, body and spirit so that I could work on you while she was doing the treatment! Now that you tell me she is working specifically on the RSD issues and your nervous systems, I am clear on why I should be there with you both!






When you work with someone, this is exactly the type of communication that should be happening with your healer or spiritual counselor. You should be so connected that the person who is guiding you is able to receive information even when you are not on the phone or sitting in a session. Not every healer or spiritual counselor will work on this kind of intuitive level, but if they do, this is the type of relationship that you want!






See you in your next accupuncture!!!






Lynn

A Message from God's Right Hand Woman

Dear readers and new found friends in spirit,

I am truly impressed with Maria and her committment to healing and change! She is amazing, powerful, kind, loving, courageous just to name a few attributes! I have been overjoyed with how quickly she has embraced this work and made such huge strides in healing so that her life will forever be one of guidance, growth and wellness. She will never again face difficulties as if they are punishment! She will be sure that anything that comes her way is something she can navigate and is there to teach her a new lesson about herself and her path. (The good news is that you can learn how to do all of this as well...it is not a secret!) What a blessing!

So, this being said and if I could waive a magic wand, what would I want for all of you right now in this moment?

I would want you to all know that you are PERFECT BEINGS! You are perfect spiritual beings having a beautiful human experience and even if your body is not perfect right now, it can be. Within you resides a perfect divine blueprint and it contains everything that you need in life. The lesson is to learn how to access these drawings and call them back into existence.

When you were born, you were (and still are) perfect. Unfortunately though, in today's world, we spend years being told that we don't know enough, we are not old enough, we must learn more, etc. At the same time, we are bombarded with media images of what is perfection - even if it means painful plastic surgery OR time spent with an airbrush and photoshop! Is it any wonder that most of us could not look ourselves in the mirror with love and acceptance? Rather, we would scrutinize every little bump or blight and wonder how we could get rid of what we don't like!

I spent the majority of my life performing for everyone as a daughter, student, friend, lover...whatever. I was a quick study and learned how to please people and that became my addiction. I was never comfortable with myself unless I was receiving positive feedback from others. I later learned that "people pleasing" is really manipulation as it does not allow the other person to react freely and openly to me.

Today, I have become quite comfortable knowing that what you think of me is none of my business! Now that does not mean that I am allowed to be unkind or abusive. It means that I will always behave and speak with the kindness and love I would want directed towards me, but I will allow you to react or perceive me in any way that you choose. If you don't like me, I will not take it personally ...that is your right and your choice. As long as I like myself and value the spiritual being within, I am fine.

Most importantly, I know I am a perfect spiritual being who will more than likely fall into human weakness in this body and experience that I am having; however, that does not make me any less perfect - it just makes me human as well! Whenever I am faced with something that is a problem, I remember that I am here to learn and to grow spiritually, so whatever I face is just making me do that very thing.

As a perfect being, I am also connected as one with God or Source. If there is a problem that overwhelms the human Lynn, I always trust that spiritual Lynn and her Source connection can find the answer. I relax, ask for help and then get out of the way. Because I trust that the answer is on its way to me as I am asking for it, I have never been disappointed by not receiving the answer or receiving the wrong one! This has been a miracle formula for me and one that I wish I had learned a long time ago!

So, to keep this short...please, please tonight as you put your head down on your pillow, see yourself as the beautiful, spiritual being of light and love that you are! Give yourself a few minutes to really feel this deep down. Feel gratitude for the wonderful traits that you have and may not celebrate enough! Treat yourself as your very best friend before you doze off....You are perfect in every way even if you don't know it just yet...you will.

Namaste.

Lynn

This Week's Picture Trail - Baby, Food, Puppy, Fun!

Hello, Healers! It finally warmed up here in NJ, so we took the baby to the park to play.

Here we are in the sandbox:

Green baby:

Swinging:

Loving the sand:

Splashing in the hot tub:

Watermelon season! I have demolished three watermelons in two weeks:

Check out this HUGE artichoke:

The heart was as big as the bowl:

Shorter sleeping in the strangest position:

My pain spiked again, but I am searching for the lesson in this one so that I don't go back to that place of fear. Lynn told me some amazing messages from my spirit guides, including that I will see a huge shift in my healing from June through September. Yipee!!!! I have a guided meditation with her shortly, and I will be posting a great essay she wrote for my blog that goes along with my self-acceptance theme. Check back soon! Also, check back for follow up posts on how to increase self-love.

Also, if you have any questions for me (rsd/crps, diet, emotional, spiritual, etc.), please feel free to ask, and I can post the answers on my blog. I am an open book, so don't be shy!

Have a healing Saturday!

Happy Healing!
