Body Barometer

Greetings everyone,

I've been in the midst of a big shift the past 9 months (no I am not having a baby).  I've traveled, expanded my business to a physical office space, taught new workshops, and seen relationships come and go.  What has been particularly interesting is how my body has been tracking all of this.

Earlier in the month I did a group download live, and immediately after I became ill.  Except this wasn't a virus or bacterial infection, my body went into a spontaneous detox reaction.  (I've done detoxes before and it matched up with all the symptoms).  I just recently ordered a download from an energy practitioner that aids in letting go.  (Check out Jaden Rose Phoenix on her website alchemywisdom.com)  I had immediate releases oddly enough in my muscular and fascia around the sacrum and sternum.  The muscles are attempting to let go, at this moment I still have a stubborn knot under my shoulder blades, but that will loosen in a bit.  It's rather fascinating how literal my body can be with things "letting go" and sure enough long held tensions start releasing.

Being empathic, I have to be careful about taking care of myself and giving myself enough quiet restorative time.  It can be easy to mimic or absorb conditions that people around me exhibit.  I also notice a habit of processing something on a physical level which is really an emotional issue.  Luckily I don't tend to let this go to extremes as I have in the past.  By tuning into my body I can easily tell what I am dealing with beneath the surface.  How am I really handling something is quite apparent.  The body doesn't lie.  Right now my heart is trying to open more than it has been in the past, and that's a good thing.  An open heart is more able to receive love and blessings, as well as to give those in return.  While it would be easy to speculate on the opening in the sacral area, I'll just say perhaps I should dance more.  ;-)

So do you let your body do the processing?  Ever get a headache so you couldn't go to that event that you really didn't want to attend? Take an inventory of aches and pains and see if they get you any emotional breathing space.  Do they serve you in any way?  Perhaps if we checked in with how we're feeling more often we wouldn't need to use our bodies as barometers.  Maybe if we could be honest about not wanting to attend (insert annoying person's name here) party we might not get that migraine, or fall down and sprain something.

So remember to check in with yourself often, and let your body do the walking not the talking.

Peace and Blessings,

The Silent Treatment

Greetings everyone,

So I am doing my best to blog more often.  This means that my posts will probably be more brief, but I think it is important to get my ideas out there when they are fresh and not hoard my musings so I can update with a long post every other month.

I wanted to talk about something I have noticed happening with my healing practice in the past 6 months.  I've been doing both live events, and teleconferences for a few years now.  Recently the feedback I've gotten has changed.  People used to be bursting to talk about an event right afterwards sometimes to the point where a the questions and comments part of a teleconference call would be longer than the shifting portion of the call.  Now when I ask for responses after a live event all I hear is silence.

Apparently I knock people out of consciousness when I am doing some of these more intense group sessions.  I've worked with other healers where I simply couldn't follow their event consciously.  It was like being asleep, but still physically awake.  My mind just went somewhere else.  A few of my friends have said it is because I've taken everyone into a very deep state.  While I am grateful we are accessing these profound states my ego still wants to know the event was a success.  I'm always hungry for feedback.  This comes from being a people pleaser, something I've had to tone down a lot to be more effective working with people.  I do my best to give people what they need (which isn't always what they want).  When I do these events I myself also get shifted, and this most recent event to Remove Religious Programming from the Deep Mind hit me hard.  I had several days of physical detoxing which started less than an hour after the call.  I was really worried that with the silence from the participants that everyone was having a similarly intense detox.

So one of my friends suggested I make a Facebook group for people to share their experiences with me after they've returned from LaLa Land and had time to process.  It was easy to do, and yet I was still telling everybody I knew, "I just made a Facebook group!"  Like it was a major triumph of the human spirit.  Maybe it is (even though it was easy to set up), it made me consider that things must be going well if I think I need a group to track the responses to my work.  So if you're on a call with me or attending a workshop and your tongue is off in another dimension you can tell me all about it later on my new group.  Oh the name is the best part, "Mooneagle's Holy Shift."  I thought a little pun never hurts.  Join in the discussion and be the remedy to the silence.

Peace and Blessings,

R E S P E C T

Respect we praise it, crave it and sometimes demand it, but what is it? I've often said you can respect without love, but you can't have love without respect.  It is vital in any relationship, whether it is in business, social or love life.

I think there is often a misconception on what respect is.  Often times it gets confused with titles and ranks.  Some people  think that if you are respected you have license to do what others are not permitted to do.  I rather think it is the reverse the more respected you are the more careful you must be in your actions.

I'm fortunate to have many people in my life that I respect.  I've had excellent role modes of what respect is, and how to behave in a respectful way.  What I have gleaned from them is that respect is the compassionate acceptance for a beings' individual thoughts, feelings,  and experiences.  This doesn't mean you agree with everyone at all, just that you allow everyone to have their own experiences and make their own choices.

Respect has a vibration (just like love has a vibration) that is necessary when working with spirit helpers (or human beings for that matter).  It is working with rather than dictating.  With respect a being's value is not held to be more than the value of anyone else.   Personal boundaries are honored.

So that sounds simple right?  Well here is where it gets a little more complicated.  Besides respecting others we must simultaneously respect ourselves.  It is this balance of learning to honor our own heart while treating with others equally that is the trick.  A saying I read a long time ago sums it up nicely, "I am no more than anyone, and I am no less."

Developing the vibration of respect along with gratitude is probably one of the most spiritually powerful things anyone can do to transform their relationships.  So think before you speak, make sure you are honoring all parties (remember that includes you), and look for those around you that make respect into an art.

Peace and Blessings,
