True In-Dependence and Healing: Listen, Listen, Listen…
Getting to a place of fully standing in our power can definitely cause a path of flowing through what the ego perceives as discomfort… sometimes pretty extreme! And, though I don’t dwell on my experiential stories or wear them like an armband…believe me, I know.
As the originator of Trinity Energy Progression, in discussions with others, I often get the attitude of, “Well, what do YOU know about my challenges? It comes easy to you…”
I typically laugh when that comes up, because even the logic of that thinking doesn’t make sense! How does one most typically master anything in the 3D (or come into full remembrance of it), but with practical application? I’ve worked with many, many clients and students… first and foremost, I’ve flowed through some heavy duty stuff myself! Granted, part of my plan included walking a path of awakening and remembrance (gladly) without the need for a huge, traumatic wake-up call, like a near-death experience (NDE) or a life-threatening disease or injury, as many have… but instead, I chose to flow through a LOT of typical, everyday challenges that many write off as unchangeable, and “something to manage” vs. something to change altogether. I just don’t live in the drama of any “stories” of situation… and only feel the need to discuss them when it’s an important relevant point to a conversation.
Early on in my practice, guidance came to me about the extreme importance of helping others to step in their own power fully, to help others realize that we all create our own reality… and that includes injury, sickness, and limitations of all kinds. My higher self (and those who I call my journey companions, as well) pushed on me and pushed on me for practical application… and to be able to fully walk THAT talk as I began to teach it.
This is because one of the most challenging practices in our spiritual “ascension” – aka “remembrance” – is to break some very deeply embedded beliefs and habits in the 3/4D; one of the most deeply embedded habits is that of giving away our power, and believing that someone or something outside of our Self has more information that we do. This is especially true in terms of doctors, authority figures of all types, teachers, parents, friends, Google… and others we consider as having “the answers” (including professional psychics, mediums, channelers, and healers) over ourselves. I always tell new clients and students – and teach the same – that ultimately, NO ONE heals us but ourselves! Not a doctor, a healer… not medicine, or anything of the sort. We can absolutely energetically support the “healing” part with great tools that help us physically align ourselves with the vibration of expressing health, to help ourselves get better. However, it’s ultimately our choice to heal, to energetically shift ourselves. If that wasn’t the case, then everyone would heal in the exact way, in the exact same time frame. That’s DEFINITELY not so!
My understanding for the past five years or so is that to better remember and recognize this, much of what we consider “standard” medicines/treatment will begin to stop working (which they have), along with anything else to which we’ve given away our power. All created here are absolutely tools! However, we’ve become so externalized that the tools we’ve created have become crutches… because we’ve given away our power to them. The Band-Aid has become the answer in the 3D, and we put one Band-Aid on top of another, often distracting ourselves with our attention and energy on the Band-Aid instead of simply looking at and shifting the original cause of the “wound” itself.
So, on my path, I was continuously pushed to learn to change my habits… and to listen, first and foremost, to know what to listen to, and secondly, what my guidance tells me is highest and best for MY progress! Over the doctors, others, and the Internet.
I was talking about this with someone recently, and they wanted to know some specifics on how I was required to do this. I had to think back to where the really active part of this journey began… what came to mind was one particular very annoying instance, and one that in retrospect is sort of a funny story:
- Back in the very beginning of saturating myself in the world of the spiritual/metaphysical, quantum physics, and healing and self-empowerment, one weekend, I’d decided to clear out an entire patch – probably about four feet by oh, twenty feet or so – of poison ivy that had grown on a secondary property we used to own. I’d never had a reaction to poison ivy, but thought I had it covered – I wore jeans, work boots, work gloves… and a t-shirt. After I finished this exercise, I took a hot shower and scrubbed down with the most astringent soap I could find (I know, I know… for you poison ivy aficionados, yes, I of course NOW see the issues there!). And then I moved on.Two days later, I woke up with the worst blistering rash I’ve ever had! It covered my wrists to just past my elbows (and thank goodness I’d had work gloves on!). Blisters upon blisters… upon blisters. My first habitual reaction was… remembering that we had prednisone in the house from the year before, when one of my dogs had died from lymphoma and had needed the steroid to help keep the swelling down in his last days. Several times, I’d head toward my bathroom, where the medicine cabinet is; every time I did that, I’d hear, “No.”Several times, I thought of going to urgent care to see if there was anything they could do… every time, I’d hear, “No.”I was to look at this, change this reality, and dissipate this myself.

Say, what?!
|
The first few days, I distracted myself with every home remedy I could find via Google and asking others via social media: apple cider vinegar and baking soda, calamine lotion… I can’t remember how many different things I tried. All I know is that I made a huge mess all over my house, and made myself even more miserable because none of them, in this severe case, did much to help for very long.That was the 3D mind, trying to distract with analysis and find the best Band-Aid, as quickly as possible.Finally, when I was equally miserable several days later, with the seeping nastiness that was my forearms (still with the argument going on in my mind over taking a steroid), I shut myself up in a room and began to meditate; I began to do energy healing on myself… and I finally turned to my guidance, my higher self… and/or my journey companions. What the ^*&!#? What’s this all about? What’s going to help already? This is misery!The first thing that popped into my head was someone I knew at the time, who had not too long before this been telling me about something called colloidal silver that he made at home; how it’s the basis for what hospitals use for the strongest antiseptics (including on burns), and how it’s great for a variety of things. I didn’t know why the recollection of this conversation suddenly popped into my head… so I reached out to him via an email. He responded that he had some he’d just made that he could bring over, because it works great on such skin situations.My guidance was that this would help.It did. (And an aside: Today, I use colloidal silver to support SO MUCH in the physical! My husband and kids, both as much of a fan of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding as I am, claim that colloidal silver is “my Windex” LOL!)While I was exploring this, I also understood that there was something for me to try that I could get at Whole Foods. So I wrapped up my arms, hid them in a long sleeved shirt, and in trudging to the store found out there was a homeopathic remedy I could take. I hesitated because of the nature of the homeopathy… but guidance was to get it, as wary as I was! It helped a lot. For several more days, I used these new tools (given to me via my guidance), I sat in meditation and self-focus utilizing all of the energy healing modalities I knew at the time, and looked at the cause and purpose of my physical reaction. The more I shifted within myself… the easier it became, the less it itched, and the faster the rash began to dissolve.The worst of it was the first several days… and once I started that internal focus, it seemed to progress in its dissolution more and more quickly.This was a HUGE lesson for me! In fact, up until this point, I’d had a number of allergic reactions (aka irritations) that manifested on my skin, to a number of different things, that had increased in manifestation over time. Once I’d gotten the whole (non-physical) point of the poison ivy reaction, and energetically what to look at to dissipate the situation… I applied it to my other skin issues. Wouldn’t you know that it became easier and easier to change and shift ALL of them… so that the irritation/allergic reaction didn’t happen anymore? Today, I’m SO glad to be able to use pretty much any of the ingredients that used to cause me hives and rashes, because I’ve changed the non-physical part of what caused them, within me.
- Here’s a (sort of) funny one! For the first time ever, I developed a hemorrhoid (seriously, I’m going there). It quickly became P-A-I-N-F-U-L! I started in the same vein as was typical: on the Internet, wondering 1) if I should get medical help, and 2) what was such a “pain in the butt” in my life that it was manifesting in this way!
I heard, quite distinctly: You already have the answer.I remember hearing this in my master bathroom. My attention was directed over toward a jar sitting on the corner of my vanity, which contained a cream I’d gotten from a friend that was good for sunburns in the summertime; it was made of a collection of different ocean herbs.I thought, “Nah… that won’t work.” (Because it couldn’t be THAT easy… and who SAID this cream would help hemmorhoids?) It got worse and worse… until I was sitting on a pillow! Nothing over the counter from the drug store worked; nor did some of the remedies I tried. Yet, almost every day, when I was in my master bathroom, my attention would again get pulled to that jar of cream sitting in the corner… and every time, I would discount the idea and move on.One night, I woke up around 4am, I was SO frustrated… and my butt hurt! I again turned inward, and yelled inside, “What can I do to get rid of this? Enough already!” Again… a pull toward the jar with the cream. At this point, I thought, What the heck? Worst that could happen is nothing, like everything else...So I used the cream, slathered my butt… and went back to bed.The hemorrhoid was about 80% deflated when I woke up in the morning, the pain was completely gone… the remainder dissipated within a few days, and it’s never come back!
The lesson: Listen to what comes from inside… because that’s where the answer lies. Always.
There are so, so many other situations I could list that were “self test” after “self test”… and every time, I became more and more confident in my own inner answer. After both incidents in such consciousness those years ago, I began to listen to the answer when it comes to me in the way of my higher self… even (actually, especially) if the answer is against “standard practice” or “standard knowledge.” And I’ve never been steered wrong! This is what I teach others to remember, in all facets of their existence… as more and more, the “standard resolutions/answers” don’t apply anymore. My understanding is that we set it up that way so we would force ourselves to remember; worst comes to worst, we put our back up against the wall and give ourselves no other choice! We CAN be and often ARE that much in refusal, in a habit of disempowerment and accepting the opinions of others over our own knowing, that we put those experiences in our way so we can remember and stand in our Divine awesomeness! I have so many other examples and situations that have transpired, for me and for clients/students… time and time again, resolution comes when the individual stops drowning the mind with the answers of others that they step back and remember the answer themselves. This has to do with everything in one’s existence… from the physical, mental, emotional, environmental… all of it!
It’s when we accept the responsibility that we create our entire reality that we remember that we alone can change it. That why so many are surprised in the use of Trinity Energy Progression… because eventually, it helps the individual surpass the “mind,” the need for rituals, standards, and guidance from another – leapfrogging over “analysis paralysis” – and on to living by and trusting inner guidance, completely, while standing completely in the power of our own Divine truth! The more quickly we do that… the more adept we become at shifting and changing, so much so that something that plagues us one minute can literally be completely out of our reality the next, in a way that one even mostly forgets about it (seriously… this is SO COOL to experience AND to watch!).
Yes, it IS that easy… separation/duality and its liaison, the ego, has developed to complete a long set of lessons through the beliefs that tell us the answer comes from the outside. We created the game; we can change it!
Is it a multi-step process to get there? Typically. We’ve fully explored being ruled by the mind, ego, and disempowerment that it takes a bit of practice; in the past, when an individual has wanted such an experience of remembrance, they’ve given themselves many changes to do so, until the situation becomes dire and/or near-fatal (a great example of the instantaneous realization of full creation and self-empowerment via a NDE is the book Dying to Be Me, by Anita Moorjani). However, it IS our choice: The sooner we remember how to listen to the higher consciousness (vs. the ego and others), the faster and more graceful and easy – and fun – our experience becomes!
If you’re ready for this, and want some help along the way… that’s what Trinity is all about! Whether you’d like to focus on your own self-development (which, of course, is MOST important for ALL of us), or do a combination of self-development and helping others to do the same, see the Events/Classes page to get started.

Celebrate Life this Festive Season (and ALL the Time)!
Are you celebrating life this year, this season, this week? Do you see life as one big party and a nonstop adventure? If the answer is no, my question to you is “why not?” Life is meant to be celebrated… to be lived to the fullest and to the fullest extent of joy and happiness. It’s not just for the holiday season, even though most people do tend to get jollier in the month of December. Think of when you were a kid—were you not happy? Children are naturally joyful beings and they don’t know a different way (at least not typically). They intuitively understand that they are here to be happy and they have a natural enthusiasm for life. They want to thrive! That’s why many adults love being around children–they make them feel youthful again and it helps them remember what it was like to be a bouncing ball of energy. Even if kids have a rough day, they know how to bounce back quickly. It doesn’t take long to see the return of a smile on their face. Ahhh, that’s because they have resiliency…they know tomorrow will be another day. In fact, it doesn’t even take until tomorrow for them to get into a better mood; they are usually cheerful within the hour. Lol! Again, this is because they innately KNOW they are here to be happy and that life is meant to be enjoyed every day.
I attended a very unique holistic fair recently, and in fact, I even had a booth in it. It’s called the Holistic Festival of Life & Wellness. The name alone implies a life-enhancing, life-giving event. It was filled with life in so many ways, even down to the marketing materials. The flyers were created with bright, vibrant colors and the words almost jumped off of the paper. There was so much positive energy exuding from the flyers that I knew this was a festival for me. I could feel the energy and the intentions of the creators; I could feel the love and unity and the celebration. Regarding the actual event, the room was packed with dynamic practitioners and professionals who were passionate about sharing their services and products—many of which had left a dull and stressful job to do what they love to do most. It was so refreshing to see the smiles on their faces as they stood behind their booths eagerly waiting for people to stop by eager anticipation. Not only was this gratifying to watch, but I was also one of these excited vendors there to celebrate life. I had left a hum drum life to join the forces of the creative spiritual world to do what I loved. The stage was also filled with another type of warmth—passionate musicians and dancers. They were incredible performers and the shows lasted ALL day long. Featured acts included belly dancers, drummers, conscious singers, sound healers, ecstatic dancers, and comic entertainers. The performing groups had names like Wild Sky Tribal, Little Goddess Tribe, Daisy Windsong, and Tribal Evolution. These people were authentic to who they are. They were there to thrive! They shared their jubilant and festive spirits with one and all and it was like there was no tomorrow. They smiled ear to ear and they lit up the room with so much love and light and amazing energy. All I can say is Wow! The event lasted from 10:00am—10:00pm and the entertainment outlasted the guests. This is not indicative of people who are bored, sad, dull, or depressed. These are vibrant souls who have discovered the magic of life and who have decided to celebrate it.
We have a choice. We can be happy or sad, alive or bored. We all have down days from time to time and that’s part of the human experience. There’s nothing wrong with that and it’s important that we accept the “dark” times as well as the “light” times. It all comes from a place of love and it was created in love. However, we don’t have to stay down… and we don’t have to hold onto the lower vibrational experiences of life. We don’t have to be attached to them and we don’t have to exist in a hum drum or mundane state. We are allowed to and worthy to release anything that no longer serves us. For many of us, that means releasing the chains that bind us….the chains that hold us back from living a life of abundance, joy, and freedom. Happiness is one of the most significant contributions we can make to ourselves. When we’re happy, we open up a vortex of well-being and it’s an avenue for all good things to flow to and through us, including abundance and optimal health. Happiness and joy are very high vibrational states. High vibes attract more high vibes.
During this holiday season of shopping, decorating, parties, and family visits, it can be quite challenging to keep up a perky mood in the midst of family obligations and responsibilities. We’ve been conditioned that we have to do it in a certain way and that we must hustle and bustle to get it all done. We have a conscious choice to ring in the holidays with stress or with smiles. We are deserving of spending our days exactly the way we want to, doing the activities that we love to do and not doing the activities we don’t want to do. This is what high vibrational living is all about and this is the meaning of true freedom. If we love and value ourselves, this is exactly what we’ll be doing…and it’s truly worth celebrating!
Life produces life. Energy produces energy. Joy produces joy. Like attracts like. Let’s ring in the holidays with the joy and vibrancy of life. Emulate and embody our TRUE selves, which is complete, utter, and endless happiness. Celebrate life like nobody’s watching and bring in the New Year with promise, hope, and trust. Is this how you would like to step into 2016??

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light,
One night, at an open spiritual discussion meetup group I used to run, I was talking about my understanding of the Divine being completely within us (which is the premise of Trinity Energy Progression), existing in a state beyond ego and in unconditional love and acceptance. One of the attendees asked me, “What about pride and humility?”
No, this is not a realtor listing… but I’ve moved! Because of my Trinity Energy Progression practice, my mind and spirit have been able to “move out” of my “4-2-2” while my 3D body still lives in my physical house.
