The Power Behind Fun & Freedom
Did you ever think that spirituality could be FUN?? Meaning really fun and really exciting?? Well, it certainly can be; and I am here as living proof to tell you how. I used to be a very rigid person; and I always followed the rulebook. I created boxes around every experience I came into contact with, which became a way of life for me. I would only allow myself to carry out what “I had to do” in life–work , chores, and family/community obligations. I wouldn’t allow myself to have any fun because I always felt I didn’t have enough time for it; and that it simply wasn’t important. I couldn’t see outside of these boxes to save my life. I was VERY comfortable with this way of being. In my mind, it kept me “safe” and predictable….and feeling worthy and loved.
Just a few years ago, I had a huge spiritual awakening during which I became fascinated by what I was learning. I was guided to look deeper and to see that there is more to life than my seemingly safe, predictable boxes. I began to see that life really COULD be fun and that’s what life is really all about .. enjoying life and having fun with whatever I am experiencing.
As I cleared away my limiting beliefs with Trinity Energy Progression™— starting with my beliefs around having to feel safe, as well as around having to feel loved and worthy by following the rules and by DOING things for others all of the time. I discovered a new way to be. I allowed myself to look at what truly makes my heart sing and I discovered that it was DANCING. Yet, I hadn’t allowed myself to dance. Why not? My negative self-talk talked me out of it; yet none of those excuses came from divine truth. After several clearings with Trinity Energy Progression, I became free and I allowed myself to explore the possibilities of dance again. I decided to venture out by getting involved in a big community service project. I learned a popular dance routine, rounded up some people, taught them the routine, and then we performed it in front of a live audience. Talk about exhilarating and fun!!! I felt so connected to Creator each time I danced to the music– even though it wasn’t a spiritual song. At first I wondered how that was possible; but I just trusted and followed the flow …. and the flow said to “Keep On Dancing.” It was so exciting and FUN to reconnect with dance in this way!!! Furthermore, I was connecting with my higher self each time I did it and it became a spiritual experience. It helped me to move stuck energy and I was letting go. I allowed myself a new sense of freedom.
Soon after, I took the next step and signed up for Zumba classes. I found that I LOVED this dance style SO much ….and a year later I became a Zumba instructor. I LOVED to teach and to share my joy with others! In Zumba, it’s all about the fun and excitement and connecting with the music, not the perfection of the steps. It’s a big dance PARTY and it’s so liberating! Every time I taught a class, I felt a huge energetic shift and a release of negative energy. Sometimes I couldn’t get myself to meditate or sit in a silent space, but I could get myself to dance any day of the week. Dance IS a form of meditation, by the way. Movement is an extraordinary way to allow the freedom inside to blossom. It’s an expression of self… of creativity and flow. I went with the flow, and the freedom I felt was immeasurable. The movement was magical.
Ahhhh….how refreshing to know that it’s OKAY to have fun and freedom in my life, as well as to know that it was all part of my spiritual development. I once believed that spirituality had to be daunting and boring; but I cleared out those beliefs. I’m still dancing and I still use dance to connect to my higher self. I also combine Trinity Energy Progression with dancing to get healing energy in the room. It’s simply divine. I have endless ideas flowing through me in my next steps of dance evolution and the healing arts…. and it all started by making the decision to NOT to stay stuck and to STOP denying myself the FUN and FREEDOM of dance.
This is called transcendence. We are here for the party and it’s time to “Dance Away!!” But dance is not the only way to move stuck energy through fun and freedom. Laughter and humor are also powerful ways. Watch a funny movie, tell jokes, go to a comedy show, read a funny story. Share the humor with a friend and now you’ve really got an amusing snowball rolling….and it will be hard to stop it. Laughter in a group is even more powerful because you will feed off of each other; and you will keep laughing and laughing in a space that feels timeless. You can stay in a high vibrational state for hours after the laughter stops.
Fun can come in a lot of different packages. Don’t put expectations around how it has to look in order for it to be a spiritual experience. It can be transformational no matter how you define it. If you feel stuck and can’t move beyond the blockage… if you feel like it’s difficult to slow down enough to get into a quiet space….if you can’t get the mind chatter out of the way enough to meditate….try an exciting adventure. Break out and be FREE! Be open-minded and embrace new experiences. Discover your inner child of joy and wonder….anything that will raise YOUR vibration. There are endless ways to do this and the key is to ALLOW yourself to enjoy it …. to get the full experience from it; and to be grateful for it. You can catapult forward in amazing ways and you’ll have endless opportunities for releasing and clearing. Now that you have the gist of how liberating FUN and FREEDOM can be, go out there and get it! Move your way to energetic freedom. Find your inner child….as this is the MAGIC of everyday living. Don’t say no, just GO!!

The Silent Spaces Where We Connect
It is a pleasure to share my Trinity Energy Progression™ experience with you this week. I ask inner guidance to assist with bringing forth the perfect message for all us intending to receive.
As I connect to source within through the Trinity portal, I feel the expansion of the light clear away the rattling noise and the debris of this day and its demands. As it clears, in its place takes an awesome space of huge vast silence.
This is a silence which is very full and very deep and points to all that is true. I am lead to share this space with you, where you are connected to this space and all its gifts, just by being present to all that is between the brackets.
[

I breathe easy now, for words cannot fill or begin to explain what takes place in that space. All I know is that I feel so much in that space: freedom, life, love, joy, happiness, ease, grace, limitlessness, possibility, excitement, journey, adventure, beauty, imagination, flight, tingles of delight, gratitude, goodness, connectedness, and becoming to know what is.
There is so much goodness in our melding together and waking up to remembering who we are. Have a miraculous “Trinitized” week. Thank you all for being my Trinity family.
I love you,

The Beauty and Perfection of the Void
Anyone who knows me knows my mantra: “Remember how to quiet the chatter and look within” … yes, which DOES translate to some form of meditation! However you choose your journey, whatever “flavors of ice cream” you choose to help you along the way, THE most important part is simply the basic exercise of quieting the chatter of the mind/ego and remembering to be aware of what many call “the void.”
Sooo… often, when someone starts to meditate (which may be homework from a session with me), even though I may emphasize that the KEY is the quiet – aka “the void” – they’ll come back to me a few weeks later and tell me that they were disappointed with their results, because though they did experience a sense of peace and quietude… that was it. My response, to their surprise: “PERFECT!”
I’ve had a client come back to me and tell me that although they just had that experience of “the void” in their meditation – even if they asked for the answer to a question – they did notice that several hours later, they would be in a car driving somewhere, and BAM! There would be their answer. They asked me what they were “doing wrong.”
Expectations, expectations, expectations…
When someone tells me they “can’t meditate”… I simply tell them they haven’t found the way that suits them best yet; and/or they have too much of an expectation of “what’s going to happen.” Often, progress includes focus on releasing expectations, and a continued focus on finding a suitable form of meditation to allow “the void.”
This is important because a large part of the ego’s role in this existence of duality has been to explore individuality and separation. Thus, all energies and emotions around that – which includes fear, anxiety, resentment, regret, anger, guilt, doubt, sorrow, and pain – are based in the ego. While incarnate in the 3D, we’ve gotten into the habit of allowing this part of our consciousness to be ruled by separation and individuality, while cutting off connection to other parts of our consciousness (especially “the Higher Self”). Part of what we’ve allowed is a LOT of mind chatter – all from the ego, all sentiments and thoughts based in separation – that we’ve forgotten how to FEEL the wholeness of who we are, ultimately including our Oneness and part of the Divine. Of course, that’s been part of the game!. Ultimately, we’ve forgotten mindfulness and presence, because all of that chatter is very rarely about what’s going on RIGHT NOW.
Many want to start to “tap in” to their inner knowledge, to their Divine wisdom, their intuitive abilities… and yet vehemently resist the basic exercise of meditating, which ultimately will help to release the habit of allowing the chatter to take over their reality. The practice of meditation, first and foremost, allows us to quiet the chatter and just BE… nothingness, in the moment, with nothing else. Part of this is because we’ve allowed the chatter to become SO loud that we can’t hear or feel anything beyond what’s being caused by the chatter.
When one can sit in that quiet, it’s the equivalent of sitting in an absolutely still house, when everyone’s asleep in the middle of the night… and suddenly, without the noise and hustle/bustle of daytime live, every creak, every tiny movement and adjustment throughout can be heard/felt…sometimes the quiet breathing of soft slumber from across the house, because it’s so quiet! Sometimes, I wonder if so many are afraid in such stillness because of the ego’s desperation to seek the chatter on the outside as much as the inside!
The point is… when we can quiet ourselves so peacefully and thoroughly on the inside… THAT’S when the Higher Self and the REST of the Universe comes through, loud and clear, in ALL ways! Want to improve your intuition, your psychic abilities? This is the way. Want to exist consistently in higher, more enlightened consciousness? Yep..
Once, I was doing a session with a Trinity Energy Progression™ Practitioner who had come to me for some tune-up work. Though she was feeling as if her practice was definitely benefiting from Trinity, she was frustrated because she wanted to “see” more. So, her intention was to release the expectations AND to release the blockages that prevented her from doing so. In the middle of the session, her etheric self turned to my etheric self and asked, “Do you mind if I step into YOU energetically?” When doing a Trinity session, the perception is that the Practitioner energetically “steps in” to the recipient fully, to help turn up the light and dissolve the limiting factors from the inside… Do this was very unusual, as I was doing a session on her, and “out there” she wanted to turn the tables. The intention was so she could see what I could see… feel what I could feel. She did so; I could feel the quiet contemplation, and then her etheric self asked me, “Is it THAT subtle? Are the impressions and what you come to understand THAT quick?”
It wasn’t until recently that I fully realized the importance of that experience, and what it was pointing out to me: because there’s SO MUCH across the entire Universe of consciousness. When we remember how to quiet the chatter that takes us out of the moment, and instead bask in the quietude of “the void” to allow EXACTLY what we desire to come to us in the 3D… THAT’S how we access the full Divine Consciousness. The more we clear the mind, the louder the whispers become… and the clearer a singular answer for our question becomes.
Some of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in allowing the quietude that is the whole of the Universe have been in physical surroundings that amplify this beautiful silence – at the top of Mount Shasta, California at midnight on the night of a full moon; on Kauai, Hawaii, with the waves invisibly rolling into shore in the vast darkness of the night; on a rock outcropping at Pebble Beach on Orcas Island, Washington without another soul in sight but a lone harbor seal appearing periodically to join me in the beautiful silence while floating on its back in the water; at the last moments before and as the sun peeks over the horizon … and others.
So, the next time you wake up in the middle of the night and can hear nothing but the silence – “the void” – instead of allowing the chatter of the ego to take over, instead go within, expand your heart light, listen to, and feel the stillness.
…or, you could just do a little meditation every day… 😉

Trinity Chamber: “Our Virtual Happy Place”
Recently I went into the “Trinity Chamber” which is a virtual “happy place” for Trinity Energy Progression™ Practitioners.
We can go in there for meditations, or anytime we want to. We can meet our Guides and Angels, or just hang out. Everybody sees or feels their Trinity Chamber differently. So, recently I went to the Trinity Chamber in a meditation; and I felt irritated which is very unusual for me. Something was different. It felt crowded and over-decorated by others. It seemed like people were changing the original intention of the Trinity Chamber as well as the energy in there.
I did not like what I saw or felt. I watched it for a bit and then started laughing and told myself: This is my virtual chamber; I can change it anytime I want to! It’s an illusion, anyways; and we are all One. Who am I really judging? Everybody has their own way of decorating their happy place. Immediately, I let the judgment go; and expanded my light even more. Instantly the energy changed; it felt all right, light and happy again.
Sometimes, in life when you get dragged into other people’s drama and stories. you have to tell yourself, “Not my monkey, not my circus! I can change that!” That goes for our virtual happy place, too. We can change and decorate it the way we desire it, with sparkles and sprinkles on top! You can detach from emotional drama and anything that does not suit you. You can’t control others’ behavior; but you can control the way you react to it. Always remember that nobody can decorate your own happy place. It’s your choice to create your Trinity Chamber or happy place any way your want.
Sometimes you can get caught up. You may need to take a couple of deep breaths and decide what you are going to put up with, what is acceptable, and what is not. It is your choice to accept it or to let it go. You are good enough, worthy and deserving to be happy.
Everybody can learn to detach and let go.
Don’t judge yourself or others. They are on their own journey. Just remove yourself from the situation and shine your light brightly and only allow the things that are for the highest and best.
If you feel negative energy from a known or unknown source, just send it to the light with Love, or back to their higher self. Always act out of Love. Sometimes it does not mean that you don’t love the people, or you won’t have anything to do with them; but it is for your higher good not to get sucked into drama. Respect yourself enough to walk away and go to your happy place.
We all are allowed to live our dreams and believe in Life, Light, and Love. And yes, we can all decorate our “Trinity Chamber” or happy place the way we like it!
Let your light Shine through in all that you do!

Shadow Work
Shadow work is a process of delving deep into ourselves to examine aspects of our being, at which we often refuse
to look. For some this can be a scary process; it does not have to be. Approaching the shadow-self is best done with an open heart so that one can accept and love everything that is experienced during such a meditation. The shadow-self is often referred to as our “inner demons” or our “sins” which is judgment from our egos. We learn to suppress exploring our shadow-selves because of fear of what we might learn about ourselves. This fear has been instilled into us as a way to control our hearts and to slow our realization that we are perfect beings that are capable of unconditional love and acceptance. We judge others because we judge ourselves. If we can fully accept and love ourselves for everything that we have ever done past, present, and future, then we are capable of doing the same for others. This is natural because the idea that we are separate from others is pure illusion.
While the shadow work process requires full honesty and openness without judgment, we may still hear our egos tell us how horrible we are for doing such terrible things, but the pain and judgment coming from our egos is just that: from our egos. What I like to do is turn up the light using Trinity Energy Progression™ and provide comfort and support for the ego and not get caught up in the ego’s rant as my own. The ego will fight hard, but it is not our enemy. It is a part of us whether or not we agree with it. It has its needs, and we can give it what it needs by consciously recognizing it for what it is.
There is no one correct way to meditate on the shadow-self. One may wish to purify the meditation space with any familiar method. There are a number of guided meditations available online if one does not know where to begin. I personally set an intention as a Trinity Practitioner to be shown an aspect of my shadow-self that needs healing. During some sessions I use a Mindfold® mask, which is a blindfold that blocks out all light while allowing the eyes to freely open. I find that sight deprivation helps me in meditating deeply within and experiencing void space; but it is not necessary. The key is love and to accept oneself no matter what one sees, hears, feels, or comes to know.
After shadow work meditation, some of us may process the experience and feelings in various ways. We may allow ourselves to feel the pain of everyone involved to help transmute the egoic guilt of past transgressions, while processing our own attachments to the situation. We may also come out of our meditation in full bliss and acceptance without any attachment. Although the latter is ideal; however we do it, it does not matter. We get the job done, and there is no judgment.
The shadow work isn’t limited to meditations that are directed to reveal the shadow aspects. After one is done with the meditation, being conscious of one’s thoughts throughout the day is important. One’s subconscious will present opportunities for discovering shadow aspects. They are often reactions or thought patterns that are unwanted or sometimes seem out of character. If one does not remain conscious and stay in the present moment, one may feel guilt, repress them, and eventually act out on them. Staying conscious in the Now, one can recognize them for what they are, and identify from where they come. This can allow further self-reflection at that moment or during a meditation if they are deeper issues.
During the shadow work, one can discover the entanglement of the ego and shadow-self; they are essential one in the same. Because they are a part of us, we must love and accept these facets of our whole selves. This healing is vital to our becoming whole.
