A lot has happened in my life the last month or so! Big changes! I felt it was about time I wrote a bit of an update on the major stuff.

Going Vegetarian

A while back ago I wrote about the experience I had with hives. Talk about a life altering experience! It threw me for a huge loop, and shook loose a great deal of stuff! In a nutshell, I went to see my friend Steve for some energy work, and for the first time I asked him to concentrate on my elbows and hands, where the last vestages of rheumatoid arthritis still have a strong real foothold.

I felt extremely ‘weird’, for lack of a better way of putting it, afterward. As if it had pushed me into some new place I had never been before, and it was taking me some time to get my bearings. Not long after, less than 12hrs – The Hives.

It was during this time that I got pushed to the edge of mental, physical, spiritual and emotional endurance…it really shattered me as I detoxed out, body wide, a TON of stuff that had been making me sick. And as I began to recover, so did my mind, body, spirit and emotions. I put myself back together better, stronger, more flexible and open than ever.

It was also during this time that I totally lost my appetite! At first I couldn’t eat at all, and then a pattern began to emerge. I realized that when preparing the side items I would be very hungry, but once I had the main meal item on my plate – my appetite would go out the window…

Finally I got to a point where I tried putting side items on my plate, no meat – and my appetite was fine! And so it came that on Thanksgiving day I put some turkey on my plate and all I saw was grey. Steve put it perfectly. All I felt was, “There’s a dead bird on my table!”

When I say all I saw as grey, I mean that literally… it was as if at the corner of my vision I was almost seeing something… And the grey was anti-life. The salad was lit up like a beacon…and the meat was this dead, lifeless thing. I took a bite out of sense of duty and was revolted. I’ve been a vegetarian ever since.

The changes were pretty immediate and intense. The first experience was my realization that I didn’t think a meal was a meal unless there was meat involved. I kept turning to my husband and saying, “Well, 5 days, and I’m not dead yet!”

My face cleared up of acne that I’ve had since forever…since I was 11 years old. My skin feels totally different now, very soft… My energetic sensitivity has gone through the roof, which is especially apparent when doing energy work.

I was working on a man long distance whose name I did not know. I didn’t even know what he really looked like, or where he was. All I knew was that he had bronchitus. But I could see the energy working in his body plain as day – as he stated his intention that I connect to his energy he lit up like a beacon!

I could see that he had clenched down in the solar plexus and heart area because so much change had occurred that he was ‘afraid to breath’. I knew he had changed jobs recently. I could see and work with his energy with something almost like a heads up display with certain parts of his body transparent and others not, all color coded and in motion showing energy, where it was going and what it was doing, and all under the control of my desire to focus on whatever I wanted.

It was unreal. o.O I’m slowly warming up to it, but it was so out there in woo woo land that, in all honesty, it scared me. I didn’t expect it, but I can see it’s going to be intensely powerful, and soon I will feel at home working with it. It’s just… so out there! The man confirming everything I said as I said it (long distance in a chatbox) helped a lot, but the skeptic in me is still slow to warm up to such out there things.

A New Dawn

The process of putting myself back together after the hives experience was amazing. The contrast I experienced showed me exactly what it was I really wanted, and gave me a reason to reach for it. I have, since then, shifted my focus to my well being in an entirely new way. And it’s wonderful!

In moving out of the experience of my body insisting on a rapid detox through the skin, I have begun to do more exercise, more relaxation, more all around letting go. I am feeling so good now! I am better now than I was before the hives, or, perhaps, ever!

I have come to realize that it’s the tension that I hold so regularly (always?) that is causing so much of the pain and dysfunction in my body. I am now doing everything I can to get my energy flowing, to stop clenching down on my own well being.

AquaClense

In my work with Steve, I backed off working on the elbows and hands for now. With the hives experience, I’m instead working on a major detoxing. I would rather not have to experience that again, and realizing that it was triggered by my turning to face the last vestiges of dis-ease in my body led me to understand – it’s time to get the gunk out!

Exercise, especially cardio, and lots of water is helping with this. But also…a new thing, once again offered by Steve. (Noticing the trend in the remarkable healing this guy is bringing to my life? I am! ) AquaClense.

This was way out there in woo woo land, big time for me. My skeptic alarm started blaring the first time I saw it at this place of work, and didn’t stop until I woke up one morning not long after the hives experience with a sudden total knowing that I had to go do this. Immediately. I didn’t even really have the money I would need to do it, but I had enough to start. I made an appointment that day.

What this thing is, basically, is a footbath that draws toxins out of your body using a very low electric current. Honestly? I didn’t research it much. I knew my skeptic’s side would close right back down on that knowing and I likely wouldn’t allow myself to experience if I researched it.

So! I went and found a link just for people reading this blog entry, and urge you to go take a look for yourself if you feel led to do so.

What I can vouch for is that it works. I am feeling the effects of it and…I feel totally different. Like I had a haze of gunk in me, lain over my perception of everything. I’m sure going vegetarian has helped, but this is even more intense, and I’m noticing myself, my widening perception and energy sensitivity going up in notches in direct correlation with going and having this done.

SecondLife

Wow, where do I begin?! First off, Second Life isn’t lying with its name – it is a Second Life, a virtual one. A virtual reality environment has now been created and made available over the internet, free to the public, that so closely mimics ‘real life’ as to be uncanny. Real life without many of the limitations. There, you can fly – literally. And create anything your heart and mind can conceive of.

You can talk with people all around the world at the same time, and there’s even a handy tool that translates languages for you so even language is no longer a barrier. You can look any way you like. My avatar looks just like me, but I’ve seen dragons the size of large houses, people walking around looking just like tweety bird from loony toons. My husband has chosen the shape of an anthropomorphic blue skunk!

At any given time there are more than 10,000 people all logged in at once, able to teleport to or speak to anyone else logged in. At its highest I’ve seen it at 18,000. There are 2 million active members. There is a viable economy, and real money is being exchanged for services on Second Life all the time. Libraries, schools and businesses have begun making homes there.

IBM has an area where they have all the latest on programmed technology available. Scion and Nissan and Pontiac have created areas where you can preview their cars and actually get one for free to drive around in Second Life. Classes are taking place all the time on a variety of subjects, and people are giving speeches and the like. Even giving live concerts!

Tomorrow a friend I made and I will be holding a cleansing ceremony and drumming circle, where everyone will get to dance and drum and release for the Winter Solstice – and I do mean that literally. Energy knows no bounds, and Second Life has set the human mind free.

It wasn’t long after I joined (November 18th) that I began pondering on the possibilities of teaching and healing in such a space, of knowledge of the law of attraction spreading through this medium. I found myself drawn to an area, lands they call them, called Mystica. There I rented a space and began Wake Up and Smell the Bliss – a learning center.

The center features articles and all kinds of information on the Law of Attraction, and on Energy Healing, free to anyone who may wish to join the Smell the Bliss community group that has now been created – or who drops by out of the blue. I will also be offering live guided meditations over internet radio.

Already people are being drawn out of the woodwork to teach there, hold meditations and do healing work. More so people are being drawn there to learn more about how they can bring more happiness into their lives, and to be healed. The center is scheduled to open on January 7th.

If you decide to join Second Life and would like to come to the opening events, or would like to just drop by any time, here is a special internet address for you to click to come directly to the Wake Up and Smell the Bliss center.

And, to bring this post to a close, as I’ve been growing and expanding through all of this – the hives, the going vegetarian, the aquaclense and becoming a new Dawn… My avatar on SecondLife has been subtly altering along with me. My good friend Sendao Goodman caught a snapshot of me there, recently… One that just about brought tears to my eyes… Here it is.
