Stories
In the spiritual realm, there are many ideas and thoughts about our “stories”. Here are my thoughts about our individual story; and how my story relates to me and who I am at this moment in this 3D incarnation.
Our stories are what make us who we are in this life at this time. They cover our entire existence over all of our lifetimes and our journeys to this point. Each life has lessons to learn and we choose all of the lives and journeys we have traveled including this 3D lifetime. We always have choices in each of these lifetimes; and we may or may not learn the lessons intended. Each of the lessons not learned in each of the lifetimes may be carried forward; we may face that lesson again in another lifetime. We may also make agreements and attachments with other souls which could carry forward and will eventually need to be resolved in addition to the lessons we are working on.
I have had many spiritual advisers tell me their thoughts on our stories. Some resonate with me and others not so much. In becoming a better and more spiritual being, we need to work on our stories and where we are in our spiritual growth. The final goal is to finally resolve all issues of all lifetimes, current and past. Then our story will be complete and no longer needed. At that time, I feel that we will become One with the Divine Consciousness; and our existence in the 3D will be complete. Until that time, I do not think we can ignore or discard our story. If we could, all of the attachments, agreements, and lessons would no longer appear in this incarnation or any future incarnations as issues to be recognized and resolved.
As a spiritual healer on my journey in this 3D incarnation I have had many experiences with other healers assisting me with working through my story to let go and learn lessons to move me closer to being One with the Divine Consciousness. Several things that have made an impact on me with moving forward are very important to me; and I will share them with you and how I feel about these issues.
I feel that one of the most important things to remember when working with another is to honor and respect that person’s story. We all can have the same experience at the exact same time but each of us will be affected differently depending on our individual story and where we are on our journey. So, something that seems trivial to you may be significant to another. Plus, the other person may need assistance to be able to resolve that issue in their reality. That is what we do as healers – help others find ways to resolve their issues and heal themselves in their stories.
To me one of the most overused phrases that I have heard as long as I have been on this journey and seeking help in moving forward is, “You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, just let it go and forgive yourself”. The problem with this is that I personally did not know how to let it go and forgive myself; and I did not have the courage to ask how I was supposed to do that. So I just kept silent, tried to figure out what I was doing wrong, trying to learn as much as I could, and still judging myself as not being worthy because I just didn’t know how to let it go.
I have had an issue that has been with me many years in my adult life that I have tried to figure out how to let go and forgive myself for. I have worked with different healers and never could get past it. I always got the “let it go advice” which didn’t work for me. Not long ago I was working with someone; and inevitably, this issue came up again. We worked on it for a bit but didn’t seem to resolve everything. This healer did not tell me to let it go. We just left it where it was.
Later, as these issues have a way of doing, it came up in a very big way one evening and I was in great distress over it. I sent that healer a text that said I was really struggling; and they asked if I wanted to talk about it. I couldn’t. So they asked if I thought I could put it into an email; I said I would try. Later I started typing. I decided I would just type whatever came into my head and had no idea what I had typed. When I was finished, I hit send without reading what I had written. As soon as I hit send, I felt a peace come over me and the issue no longer felt huge. The response back to my email was, “WOW, that sure covered a lot”. No judgment, no “just let it go”, just holding space for me. I went back and read what I had written. I was a bit shocked, and had no idea how much was tied to the issue. If I had read it before sending it, I would not have hit send. Since this occurred there has been a major shift in my life with all of the aspects that were tied to this issue. I guess that I personally needed to have everything put out there that was part of this issue so that I could see the big picture. I have finally forgiven myself; and it is no longer an issue. It is still part of my story but it no longer has power over me.
My take-away from all of this is that as healers we have a responsibility to help our clients figure out the best way that works for them to be able to let go and forgive themselves in their stories. Don’t assume that everyone is at the same place on their journey, or just cut short their story and tell them to forgive themselves. They may not know how to do that and we need to be more sensitive to that possibility. As we all know we do not heal others, we assist them in finding ways that they can heal themselves. Sometimes just holding space and letting them work through it is all they need.

Caterpillar
Caterpillar
When the hinges
Finally give way
And the glamour
And glory sway
Beneath the weight
Of tarnished truth
Revealed,
It comes as a
Relief to see
The ultimate
Futility
Of pursuing
What is clearly
A dead end.
No time like the
Present
Said the caterpillar
As she stepped
Across the threshold
Of her homespun
Cocoon
From which she would
Emerge very soon
Transformed
From head to wing
Ready to begin
Her beckoning
Adventures in the sky.

When I wrote this poem years ago, I could only imagine life beyond my unhappy hamster wheel. Now I know how beautiful it is to release the dysfunctional patterns, relationships, jobs and unnecessary burdens that defined my existence. So much so that this past summer I sold my house, quit my job, and moved across the country, from North Carolina to Washington State, to begin the next chapter of my story. This has been a HUGE growth experience for me, in ways I never previously imagined! As I construct my new reality, I look around and am amazed at how joyful and free I am. It’s a continual leap of faith, becoming easier and easier as I go. I’ve been so supported by family and friends. I love living at this high vibration, and connecting with others who are either already there or ready to be!
While talking with Angela this week about the tendency to cling to the habit of a pattern even after the underlying causes/karma are cleared, I had a vision of a deep wheel rut in the mud. I then remembered driving across the country, moving slightly to the left or right of the lane I was in to stay on the higher, less-worn pavement. This provided a smoother, quieter ride. Anyone who’s ridden in my Magic Red Carpet Mazda knows how important it is to avoid the bumps in the road. Opa!!
We each have the power to create new pathways in our lives. It starts with releasing the old familiar habits whose karma may be cleared, but now require a conscious choice to change. This is the time of re-creation in our lives, the world, the YOUniverse and beyond. In order to live our wholeness, it’s key for us to forge new patterns from the mundane details of our routines to where we live and how we manifest BBA (boundless benevolent abundance), from the highest vibrational energy available. We can do this… ALL of us!
As I write, I’m hearing the theme song from Aladdin, “A Whole New World”. I invite you all to join me on this magic carpet ride!

It’s a Process
“I want to be psychic!” “I want to be able to heal this” “I want this pain to go away”.
Many, that begin or wish to expand the spiritual part of their life, want or expect things to happen in particular ways.
When I began my journey, I wanted many of the same things. I wanted to be able to “see visions” and “talk to spirits”. Also, I had recently gone through an experience that had caused a lot of deep soul pain to surface. “I want this pain gone now!” I would think to myself.
In my experience, although issues are able to be instantaneously released, these issues take time to heal. It depends on how deep they are, and how many agreements, beliefs, or contracts that you have that cause you to hold onto the issues causing the pain or discomfort.
I spent at least a year in deep soul pain because it was on such a deep level; it often came in waves. Some days, I would be depressed but able to function. Other days, I would barely be able to function normally. I would have to excuse myself to the rest room and cry at least every hour. I began getting frustrated that it wasn’t all healed. I was upset that when anything reminded me of the trauma; I would feel as if I was right back where I started.
Turns out this was because although I was healing, it was slowly. I wasn’t able to see the changes day by day. But, if I ever took the moment to look back a month, or a couple months, I would notice a significant difference. I would look back in my journal and read some of the older entries. I would think to myself “wow, I was really messed up, I am so much better now.”
I also recall being obsessed with answers, and visions that other people would have while doing Trinity Energy Progression™ sessions on me. I would hang on every word. I was so obsessed with the person that had caused the trauma. “Will everything be ok? Will we be friends again!? Should I call them?” I would ask these questions every day. I was obsessed with this person and obsessed with everything working out right then and there.
I had to realize that it was because of my own lack of self love. I did not love myself enough and felt that I had to get it from others. I began working on that core issue. I also discovered that I had many walls that I had put up to protect myself. Part of the pain was from the walls being taken down. This can be very scary and painful for those that aren’t aware of what it happening. I recall felling as if I was being backed into a corner (emotionally), even though everything in my physical life was fine. Many things began changing. Slowly at first, but the more time went by, the faster the changes and healing occurred. My habits changed, my way of thinking changed, and even my reaction to things changed.
I also learned, that it is okay to “not be okay”. When things came up, I would often become upset; and, I was upset for being upset, which only escalated the problem. I would be upset for being angry or sad or afraid. Now, I understand that it is okay. When things like that come up, it is so it can be healed. I am now able to look at it without giving it power, and without it influencing my behavior (for the most part). I even find that it takes too much energy to stay mad or upset.
I have also been able to “see” as others have, such as psychic visions while doing Trinity Energy Progression sessions. I have also been able to mediate much more easily. This, indeed, took some time and practice.
So, if you are becoming frustrated or tired that you have not obtained the results that you want from this work, then take a moment to look back, and truly see how much you have changed. It is okay to “not be okay”. Be kind to yourself. It is a process and it is different for everyone.

Who Do You Judge Most? The Path to Remembrance…
In most belief systems, we believe some sort of judgment is the ultimate reality. Someone judging us (and us judging others) is the basis of a majority of what motivates most of us, whether or not it’s conscious.
What’s important to look at and begin to remember is that judgment is based in duality, as we created it. Duality, in its nature, is the perception that there could possibly be something that is “not Divine”; it’s where we, as the Oneness/Divine Consciousness, decided to create what we can understand as partitions to create this illusion, to perceive what it would be like to look back on our Self.
From there was born the perception of a “me” and “not me”… and from that, the idea that there could possibly be something that existed that was completely “outside” of me… and “outside” of the Divine. From that, we created separation, and from THAT comes the perception of right/wrong, good/bad, good/evil… which ultimately is the basis of judgment.
So, judgment was birthed in this existence of separation and duality… and is limited to existing within that illusion.
The Divine Consciousness – the Oneness, Source, Spirit, God, Creator, whatever you want to call it – simply IS. When we perceive everything around us without separation, with complete acceptance for all as the Divine, we simply live in unconditional love for all that is, AS all that is… which (to my understanding) is the highest, only absolute Truth.
To remember our existence in that space while in the body, and to release ALL of the obstacles (physical, environmental, emotional, and spiritual) we have created, the BIGGEST first step is to release the need to judge and be judged. In reality, the biggest judge in the existence of duality is OURSELVES; it’s the ego (which was created to explore the idea and creation of the illusion of separation) that decides based on its filter of individual experience… and then decides what’s “right” or “wrong” based on those experiences. We judge ourselves based on the projection of judgment by others and by what we’re taught… we judge others based on the judgments we hold within ourselves. Often, we’re not even conscious the judgment we hold is on ourselves. I’ve seen many situations where someone had a very low self-esteem without any determining external factors in their current life; yet, on exploration and the continual releasing process of the person, they came to understand the extreme self-judgment and beliefs of lack of worthiness came from self-judgment due to experiences in other lives. Many who are activists in certain areas… were what they consider the actual perpetrators in other lives, their self-judgment causing them to go to the other extreme in this one.
In the healing/releasing process of remembering our natural, Divine State, what’s the most important, FIRST AND FOREMOST, is releasing the need to judge or be judged; to value the Self based on the judgment of others (it’s none of our business what others think of us… because ultimately what they think of us is only where THEY are on their journey); to remember that judgment and duality is simply illusion, and to understand from the perspective of higher consciousness that there’s a purpose for EVERYTHING that we create in our multi-reality. It’s when we can accept all as part of the Divine, as part of the illusion, and that there is no real “right/wrong,” “good/bad,” but only degrees of the illusion of separation that we have created, that we can release judgment, look at ALL of what holds us back… and finally RELEASE it, however it’s been manifested into our reality… release those partitions we’ve created that prevent us from remembering that we are ALL the Divine, 100%… and remember the bliss of the whole, around us and within ourselves (and that there’s no difference between the two).

Love Is All You Need
So many of us are spiritually awake now. We are searching for ways to raise our frequency. Ways to strip away our partitions and to fully awaken our soul’s path. 
I think we can all agree that once you are spiritually awake to the truth, it is very hard to go back to who you were before. Since my awakening, my soul’s goal has been to find my soul’s chosen path. It has been my mission. On this mission, I have asked for guidance; and for me, most of my guidance comes during dream state.
The guidance comes in form of beings that I have a deep connection to. Not here in the earthly plane but in the higher dimensions where the oversouls reside.
Guidance appears to me oftentimes as a massive light being or beings. I do not see facial or body features. Typically, it is all emotion and what appears to be telepathically translated.
I recently had an amazing message that I was told to share with you all here. I received guidance shortly after pleading out loud to be shown my truth path and the message I received was for me, transformational:
Very simply put, I was told that in order to raise my frequency to the level of ascension I am seeking, I must release all expression of emotion that does not reside at the most highest frequency. Basically, all emotion/expression of words and feelings that are not love based must simply go. I must work to release all fear, all worry, all envy, everything that is an emotional expression outward and inward of my very being.
The only form of expression must be love.
Once I attain that, I will have attained all that I am seeking. All that we are seeking. You see, once we can all express only love, we ascend. It is as difficult; and as simple as that.
So, my next goal is to take each emotion/expression one day/week/month at a time to work through it. I have recently stumbled upon the emotion/expression of depression. It is a difficult one that I am feeling at the very core of my being; however I am aware now that the emotion/expression of depression is not all mine. I typically do not feel this emotion, but at the very core of my being I need to feel it now to finally and forever release it. For 2 weeks now I wake up with this feeling. It resides at the very base of my spine and it amplifies to the heart when acknowledged. It is this very deep emotion that can be very paralyzing to so many people that I am working through now. My guidance is to take it on fully and to release it with grace and ease one day at a time.
On my next blog to you I will have released this emotion/expression once and for all; and then I will be guided to the next one. I will document the process and share it as my experience. Hopefully helping some, if not many of you, out there who are going through this.
Remember dear soul family, you are not alone and in the end the only thing that really matters is LOVE. LOVE is all we really need. It is what we are made of. When you look deep into your soul cells, you will see this as I do see it in all of you.
Namaste,
