A Love Story

Amy, a pretty woman, has been actively seeking a mate for five years through online sources. After much dating, she found a few men that she might find acceptable to her. Unfortunately, the ones she was interested in weren’t interested in her and vise versa. (Sound familiar?)

Clearly, there was something blocking her receiving the man of her dreams. Amy decided to come in to have her heart wall removed, as she knew something had to change.

After her first session, she reported three incidences with men that surprised her. Two young guys (strangers) offered to help her with putting air in her tires at the gas station. The security guard in her building did an unasked-for favor for her, and a male friend gifted her with some of his expensive exercise equipment.

After Amy’s third Emotion Code session, she reported that she was grateful to be sleeping through the night for the first time in years.

After her fifth session, she was invited on dates with two guys she really liked. It took one-half more session to complete her process.

Once her heart wall was cleared, I didn’t hear from Amy for six weeks. When I did, she entered this office looking radiant. “I met the man of my dreams!” This normally stoic woman was gushing over her newfound love! Mind you, Amy has been a client of mine for fifteen years, and I’ve never seen her animated. I checked with her today, and she is still smitten.

Along with Amy, there are other stories I’m amassing as folks come in for heart wall work. Sometimes, a heart wall removed will release a lover from a bad relationship. Sometimes, it changes current relationships for the better. You’ll hear more about those in an upcoming Compassionate Clearing newsletter.

Mayan Calendar

Here it is – the awaited 2012 – the end of the Mayan calendar! Are you holding your breath to see if December 21 will bring the end of the world? No? Well, is the conundrum in the back of your mind a lot? Have you discussed the possibilities with your friends?

Not only do I hear talk, but I also receive email newsletters where December 2012 is often the topic of discussion. I subscribe to mostly metaphysical newsletters and the talk has been positive.

The common theme related for this “happening” is that we are in for lots of change – in the secular world and in our inner, spiritual worlds. None can deny that the secular world is changing. As evidence, notice the natural disasters, the citizens of foreign countries who are literally dying to be free, and the revelations of wrong doings of our own dear politicians. While it looks messy and even disturbing, these are a huge part of clearing the way for the changes, I believe.

But what of the inner world changes? Have you observed yourself and noticed that you are reacting internally in a new, possibly softer way to the stresses of the world? I certainly am. (To continue, press here)

Our most valuable task in life is transformation. I have strived for personal transformation for 40 years, first in traditional group therapy, later with a variety of encounter groups, then individual counseling, and finally, with the newer energy psychology techniques. I’ve always included prayer. Progress has often been slow and painful – until now.

This past year has brought many internal changes. I have more comfort and ease with myself and am less reactive with others. I’ve noticed less resentment toward family members (Recently I had a warm and friendly “encounter” with my deceased mother!) Reconciliation and friendship with my former husband has been magical. A biggie I’ve achieved: acceptance that meditation as a discipline doesn’t work for me, and I have replaced that struggle with morning time doing spiritual reading, clearing and Ho’Oponapona. (For more information, press here)

Doing energy clearings on myself and receiving clearings from others has made a huge difference. Without a doubt, energy psychology has been a huge factor in the depth and breadth of my changes. The bottom line here is that transformation has been easier with the new energies coming in.

I believe that what the Mayans meant by ending their calendar this year is more about ending the world as we know it. Surely that is true. I also believe that we have more energy available for deep transformation and personal power than ever before. I encourage you to begin or continue your spiritual practices this year, and to focus strongly on transformation. The angels and guides are assisting us powerfully to do so.

I would be honored to assist you in your process of transformation with Compassionate Clearings. Call for your appointment at 512-444-9777.

Extra Gift Ideas

This year we can give the gift of genuine concern for local businesses. It's time to think outside the box. If you don’t live in Austin, then translate to your city.

EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local hair salon or barber?

Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, locally owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.

Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer or games at the local golf course.

Austin has many owner-run restaurants - all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint?

How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by an Austin guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.

If your computer could use a tune-up, Austin is full of bright young men and women who are struggling to get their repair business up and running.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes. Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet in Austin? Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

Leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.

When we care about other Austinites, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine.

The Heart Wall

Your heart generates 60 to 1000 times more power and electromagnetic energy than your brain, easily making it the most powerful organ in your body. Your heart is the core of your being, the core of who you really are… The heart has its own unique intelligence. It can think, feel and remember.
The Emotion Code ~ Bradley Nelson, D.C.

Heart Wall is Dr. Bradley Nelson’s term for an invisible, protective barrier created around the heart by the subconscious mind to block us from mental, emotional and spiritual damage. It is constructed with intense emotions experienced in our past that have locked into our cells (trapped emotions).

According to Dr. Nelson, approximately 90% of Americans have a heart wall. In the human experience, we all are injured to varying degrees at different times of our lives. Our parents both unwittingly and sometimes purposely wound us. Teachers, friends, siblings and lovers wound us. Life, itself, can wound us. These woundings are recorded by the heart.

As an example, we now know through experiences reported by people with heart transplants, that the heart transfers information from the donor to the recipient. The recipient will begin to express some of the same feelings, concerns, and likes and dislikes, including food preferences that the donor had while alive. (For 10 brief case histories, check out this site www.paulpearsali.com or www.montgomerycollege.edu Also, read Paul Pearsall’s book The Heart's Code: Tapping the Wisdom and Power of Our Heart Energy (Broadway Books, 1998)

Unpleasant emotions from painful experiences often become trapped in the cells of our bodies. These emotions, when transferred to the heart, produce a formidable barrier, numbing us, and keeping pain at bay. Unfortunately, it also blocks many things from getting inside such as love and caring. (click here to read more about The Emotion Code) The walls can begin building in childhood.

Can the Heart Wall be located through surgery? No, it exists on the invisible plane, much as our feelings do. However, it can be felt by others and registered outside of our waking knowledge. This is why, in large part, many deserving adults who desire a partner cannot find one. We are literally carrying an invisible sign that says, “Stay away. I don’t want you to hurt me.”

Trapped emotions are located through muscle testing. They can then be released with intention and through use of a magnet taken down the spine. (In acupuncture, this is called the Governing Meridian.) It sounds fantastical, and almost too good to be true, yet it works. Our world would be very different if everyone’s heart walls were removed.

People who have had their heart wall released report happy things to me like this:
“After years without a date, I’ve now got three different men calling me.”
“I must be more approachable now, as strangers start conversations with me in the grocery store, the bank, the post office and at parties.”
“I’m more relaxed, and I don’t feel the need to judge others anymore.”
“My co-workers have been more friendly.”
“I’ve been asked what’s different in my life, and told that I look wonderful!”

About 30% of the time, effects are immediately visible. Many times, the results appear more gradually, as the body and mind adjust to the changes.

Heart walls can lead to lethargy, depression, and broken relationships. Having one’s heart wall cleared can release many worries and fears. It can free one to soar and to be the loving, successful person s/he truly is. It also clears the way for romance.

The Emotion Code
A Powerful Energy Clearing Method

In my ongoing search for the quickest, most efficient way to clear people’s emotional baggage, I discovered The Emotion Code, an exciting form of energy work developed by Dr. Brad Nelson. This powerful discipline works like a charm. I am happy to add Emotion Code clearings to Compassionate Clearing.

Dr. Nelson teaches that we trap and store intense emotions from painful life experiences in the cells of our bodies. Over time, trapped emotions tend to impact our lives on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels by bleeding into our relationships and our ability to be fully who we are. They begin to layer, one on top of another wreaking havoc with our sense of peace and harmony.
Trapped emotions can manifest issues years down the road from the initial incident, confusing us as to the origin. They rob us of our energy and our life force as it is diverted to maintain our baggage.

With training, the practitioner can find these emotions through muscle testing*, a technique used extensively among holistic practitioners. Muscle testing not only finds the emotion, but also can show at what age we got stuck with them. We then use a magnet to release them. The magnet is gently drawn down the Governing Meridian along the spine.

I find the work different from other clearing methods in that the body, not the conscious mind, picks out very specific incidences where a particular emotion experienced in the past is now affecting the present. In my experience, the body’s responses are far more reliable than those of the conscious mind. The body doesn’t lie, whereas the mind consciously or unconsciously often does lie. Also, using the Emotion Code technique, inherited emotions and emotions acquired in utero show up. Due to their origin, these emotions cannot be located and dealt with through ordinary means.

Inherited emotions come to us at the moment of conception, passed on by Mom or Dad. Lets say the emotion is depression and you got it from Dad. It may be Dad’s depression, or he may have picked it up from one of his parents, possibly his dad. Grandpa may have originally had that depression, or he may have acquired it from his mom. Emotions can be passed down from generation to generation. We wind up carrying an emotion that wasn’t ours to begin with. Emotion Code can clear that, stop the chain reaction, and clear our ancestors.

It is commonly accepted among researchers that babies can hear us when they are in the womb, especially during the last trimester. http://www.balkhaleej.com/2011/05/16/stimulation-intelligent-baby-in-the-womb/ So it makes sense that we pick up emotions from our parents while we are still an embryo. For instance, if Dad is worried about how to provide, or Mom is depressed about whatever, the baby can pick up those emotions and bring them through at birth. Emotion Code finds and releases those trapped emotions.

Another important way that trapped emotions affect us is by our unwittingly forming a heart wall. The subconscious mind collects these emotions to fashion as protection, which, at times, we need. However, the subconscious doesn’t know when to take the wall down, and it stays up, protecting us from harm while keeping out a lot of good feelings. (Click here for more regarding the heart wall)

One of my clients was very excited about taking her heart wall down, which we did in five sessions. She could hardly wait to see what happened. When I saw her the next week, she expressed surprise at having been very unpleasant with her husband all week. I had observed that her husband was quiet bossy with her. She was finally feeling her feelings about that. She didn’t like it and began to stand her ground with him. Of course, each person’s response to having his heart wall removed is very different. Another woman found that her husband found her attractive again after 35 years, and wanted to make love to her. Some people begin to attract love and a new relationship when the heart wall is down.

The Emotion Code technique can be effective in releasing old fears, relationship difficulties, chronic pain, and other life issues. It is deceptively simple, and yet I have found it to be very powerful for myself and clients. Sometimes, results initially appear subtle, and sometimes there is an immediate, noticeable difference. Some can’t see the changes in themselves, but they can see the changes in the way others react to them. Most people report feeling lighter.

One client had had foot pain for three months with only temporarily relief with massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. Yet, with only two emotions released - depression at age 52 and grief at age 33, the pain totally disappeared. Other issues often take longer.

The Emotion Code can be used to clear animals, also. A friend called me when her cat, Suzy, was very ill. Suzie had been working on her transition for several days, but was still alive. I made a house call to clear her using Emotion Code. Suzy tested for emotions of abandonment (their house had burned down, and Suzy had to stay with a family friend while the house was being rebuilt). She tested for anxieties presumably about being chased by a dog. Interesting, but not surprising, she tested for surrogating some of her owner’s emotions. We cleared nine emotions, and she left her body in peace three hours later.

This work can be used person-to-person, on the phone, or long distance with only the person’s permission needed. I am very excited to add this technique to my practice as it really changes people’s lives.

*"Muscle testing is a noninvasive tool we can use to identify imbalances in the body (while fully clothed). The science behind it is similar to a lie detector test or a polygraph. In a polygraph, a person is hooked up to sensitive electrodes and asked certain questions. The person's answers generate a certain electrical response in the body, which is read and graphed by the machine, showing if the answers are true or false. This is done on a very delicate, minute scale. The muscles of the body are also affected by this electrical state, so we can use them to show this same response, just on a more pronounced, larger scale. Any muscle will become weakened in a state of incongruence or falsehood, making resistance difficult. Conversely, muscles will remain strong against light pressure and able to resist when in a state of congruency or truth. What's nice is that muscle testing allows us to access important information about health, we just have to know what questions to ask, then apply the resistance to a muscle (such as the bicep) and get our answers!" ~ Dr. Bradley Nelson

Did Grandma Sadie Pass Along Tears and Fears?

November signals the time of year most think of family togetherness. For many, holidays can bring a feeling of unease or even dread as we consider the hurt feelings, the resentment, and possibly rage toward those who know so well how to uniquely, personally wound us.

In my new work, Emotion Code, I see how much we are affected not only by present day issues with family, but also the powerful impact of inherited fears and quirks passed from ancestors through the family lineage. It is shocking how much gunk (emotional baggage) comes in with us at birth.

For instance, in a private session, my client (we’ll call her Susie) and I were working on removing her heart wall.* Through muscle testing, we uncovered and removed depression from a grandfather twelve generations past, hopelessness from a grandfather seven generations back, and heartache from a grandmother three generations ago. These had been passed along at birth from one baby to the next until Susie received them. Along with that, Susie, had picked up, in utero, her father’s fear and her mother’s bitterness. Is it any wonder that Susie had been fighting depression her whole life? (click here to learn Susie’s success)

Susie had had a difficult time attracting an intimate relationship, as she was unconsciously keeping men away. Who could possibly penetrate her formidable heart wall?

After her first session, she returned and told me that she had had three experiences that surprised her:
1. While filling her tires with air at the convenience store, two young men offered to assist her that morning.
2. After locking herself out of her office, the security guard had brought her a set of keys to her office instead of her having to go to him.
3. A male friend had given her a $1000 piece of exercise equipment he decided he didn’t want.
She was convinced to continue sessions to clear the heart wall. (Clearing a heart wall generally takes from 3-7 sessions.)

Susie continued clearing, and after the third session, she told me that she had slept soundly through the night for the first time in five years. She also is much more upbeat. Her beauty is shining through, and it won’t be long until she’s got the relationship she longs for.

An exciting thing about clearing with the use of Emotion Code work, is that it clears all the way back to the original person who had the trapped emotion. When you clear, you gift your parents and ancestors with clearing, also.

• Heart wall – Your subconscious mind, which knows no limitations, will sometimes use the energy of your trapped emotions (from the past or present) to create a shield around your heart to protect it from further injury. This protection comes at a cost of lack of intimacy in various forms. Eight out of ten people have one.
The Emotion Code ~ Bradley Nelson, D.C.

October is the season of ghouls and ghosties. Why? Because the veil between the worlds of the seen and unseen are thinnest for about 10 days during the Halloween season. Religions and cultures have acknowledged this phenomenon for many centuries. Here are the most notable ones:

Parentalia (Roman) – festival of the dead
Day of the Dead (Mexico)
All Souls Day – (Middle Ages – Ireland and Britain)
All Saint’s Day (Catholic)
Hallow Mas, Hallowed Eve - European
Samhain (sow’ wen) - Celtic
Halloween - brought from Europe in early 1900s to America

But what is the significance to us? Most obviously, it is a time when we can connect more easily with our loved ones who have “graduated”. It is a time we can remember the dead through prayer and ritual, and even speak to them if we are comfortable with that.

The other aspect of the thinning of the veil between worlds is that, where they have the chance, unseen beings can and do slip into our reality with more ease. (Hence the scary masks in the past - to scare them off) Sometimes, they are no bother. However, when we are vulnerable, some can attach to us through a weakened aura (the energy field that surrounds us). It may not be a ghost (individual entity), but rather some other entity that needs our precious energy to stay manifested on this planet. (Sarah, please break here) Press here for more)

People who come to me for the first time usually carry a variety of these free-loading, opportunist entities. They enter our reality and jump us when we are the weakest through illness, rage, inebriation, depression or other times when we are compromised. Then, they ride with us unseen and undetected until removed or until we die.

These entities come in a variety of shapes and styles, not the least of which are ghosts. Ghosts are one of the most dangerous, because they often talk in our heads, and we think that it’s our own voices nattering on about things. Don’t think that, because they are dead, they don’t have opinions and attitudes that can influence in a way that doesn’t serve the host. They can.

I work a lot with folks regarding entities, and I find that most people can feel a palpable difference once they are divested of these hitchhikers and Kling-ons. It’s not that hard, and if you’d like to know how to do this, too, you are invited to join my entity removal class. If you just want to be rid of them, you are invited to attend a group clearing session or have a private session.

(Ancient Hawaiian Clearing Method)
For you to do your own clearing work

If I have offended you in any way
I apologize
Please forgive me
I forgive you
Thank you
I love you

Perhaps you’ve heard the now-famous story about Dr. Hew Len, a clinical psychologist, transforming a mental institution for the criminally insane in Hawaii. The hospital was a dangerous cesspool of scary residents and low employee morale. Dr. Hew Len looked at patient files daily and did clearing on himself with Ho’oponapona, an ancient Hawaiian prayer. He never worked directly with the patients. Mysteriously, his patients got well and were released from the institution within three months to a year without him ever doing verbal therapy with them.

The Hawaiians believe we create our own reality (imagine that!) and therefore, whatever we see before us is our own creation. So, if a person is offensive to us, it is our creation, and our perception needs to be acknowledged, forgiven and healed by God/dess, Divine, Universe.

Does that include the war? Does that include murders? Dr. Hew Len says a resounding “Yes!” We are responsible for everything in our lives. That includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The minute he hears himself mentally or verbally complaining about any incident, condition or person, Dr. Hew Len says he immediately does Ho’oponapona to clear himself of those creations.( He actually says ‘I’m sorry’ instead of ‘I apologize’, and you may choose to do that.)

That’s pretty remarkable – a tool that could be valuable in our own lives.

Originally, Ho’oponapona was a ten page ritual. Westerners have shortened it to be able to apply it in everyday life. Shaman Jose Stevens uses the information this way:

I am sorry, (person’s name), that you had to suffer so much in my dreaming of life.
I am sorry to myself for dreaming in a way that led to my own suffering.
I forgive myself because I did not realize the consequences of my dreaming.
I forgive you for your choices that led to suffering.
I love you. I love myself.
Thanks, (person’s name) for teaching me so much.
Thanks to me for being willing to learn.

How can we apply Ho’oponapona personally? The prayer at the beginning of this article may be offered to the Divine whenever we see something or someone whom we find offensive.

I have found Ho’oponapona to be very useful to release energy I’m holding that doesn’t serve me and that may be creating more problems energetically. I’ve experienced several exciting successes using Ho’oponapona. Dr. Hew Len assures us that, whether or not we are seeing results, we are giving a gift to the planet as we clear.

This is a fascinating way of choosing to live one’s life. Give it a try. I think you’ll like it.

Ho’oponapona is a modified version of an ancient Hawaiian clearing method taught by Serge King, Dr. Hew Len, other Hawaiian shamans, and explained by Joe Vitale in “Zero Limits – The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More”. The original version begins: “If I or my ancestors have offended you in any way, I’m sorry…

Energy vampires – we have all known at least one person who walks up, inserts a straw into our brains and sucks the energy out of us. You know who I’m talking about – the guy (or gal) who can drain you, and make you want to run away, screaming. Or they may be insidious, and it takes you a while to know from where the issue emanates.

When people talk about them, they are seeing either one or another of two different types of energy vampires:
1. The obnoxious ones who tire you out through their personality distortions such as constant whining and complaining, ongoing gossiping, or being particularly negative as a lifestyle.
2. The scary ones (stealth energy thieves) who actually dine on your energy field by psychically stealing from it.

Obviously, the obnoxious ones can be a bummer to handle. For the non-stop complainers and haranguers, it can be a challenge, but after you have evaluated what’s more important – your sanity or their feelings, it may be easy. Say to them, “Wow! Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?” Then say it each time they start again. Or, say, "Now tell me something positive".

If you have to get tough, say, “You know, you just wear me out with your complaining, and I’m going to have to take a break from you. Sorry if that offends you, but you are offending me.” You have to be willing to lose their friendship to save your sanity and your peace of mind.

However, the true energy vampires, the stealth energy thieves, are another matter entirely. They are ominous to your state of health in that it’s hard to pinpoint where they are “breaking and entering”., and you don’t realize it is happening. We in the U.S. have no context for this kind of behavior.

Dion Fortune, in her book Psychic Self Defense, first published in 1930, states that she believes this behavior is what created the vampire in literature. It makes sense to me.

These parasites are often found in large gatherings. There is more energy to suck up. (Ever noticed that sometimes after being in a crowd you feel tired?) However, they may also attend small dinner parties or hang out in bars. The common factor here is that you feel tired for no particular reason after being with them. And, of course, if you confront them, they will be in complete denial of any wrong doing.

For the easy cases where you get a one-time hit, your best defense is taking the homeopathic, Rescue Remedy. It works for entities and it works for energy vampires. Also, just having a strong immune system is useful, and especially eating regularly helps. Do not go into a large group of people while hungry if you can avoid it. Staying upbeat is important, as they would rather feed on the weak. Wearing sacred oils such as frankincense, myrrh or rose oil is useful, also.

For difficult cases, or when vampirism is a regular event by someone you know, it is time to call an expert for help. I am experienced in this kind of work and will be glad to be of assistance.

Recently, through metaphysical online classes, I learned of a potent new clearing method, The Emotion Code, developed by another chiropractor, Bradley Nelson. Right away, I ordered the book, chart and DVDs to start learning the process, and I drove to San Antonio for sessions with a licensed practitioner.

All I can say is, “Wow!” This stuff is fast and easy. For four months, I had sharp foot pains shooting through at odd times. With just two trapped emotions cleared (it took about 10-15 minutes), the pain was gone. I mean GONE.

I have a chiropractic client who had lingering intense low back pain. He didn’t want to try “any of that religious stuff” (his words) I do, and he insisted that he had no concerns. After several visits, I finally talked him into clearing two trapped emotions and he came back two days later noticeably better. This works on emotional pain, also.

The Emotion Code is based on the concept that we experience intense emotions that get trapped in our bodies. These emotions create discord in our bodies, minds and emotions until released. In particular, we begin to create a wall around our hearts in order to protect us from further pain, and unfortunately, it blocks out a lot of love.

Through Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing) we can discover what those emotions are and at what age they get trapped. With the use of magnets, we can then eliminate each emotion at a cellular level.

Amazingly, this work will go back in time to clear inherited and past life issues. Dr. Nelson discovered that it also clears whomever we inherited the emotions from simultaneously. What a gift.

In the same way that you cannot see the wind, yet you can feel it’s effects, trapped emotions are invisible and they can exert powerful forces upon you. Trapped emotions can affect you physically just as much as they can mentally and emotionally. It is my experience that a significant percentage of physical illnesses, emotional difficulties and self-sabotage are actually caused by these unseen energies. ~ Bradley Nelson, D.C.

A beautiful child died that evening in his hospital bed. He was in the care of one of my clients, a nurse. While it is hard for Jennie (not her real name) to lose a child, she has learned to go on. Others were suffering and in need of her loving attention.

Later that night, Jennie returned to that room to straighten and prepare it for the next person. A cold wave washed over her as she sensed a presence moving about. She jerked when an item fell off the shelf. Warily, she picked the items up and straightened them again.

Jennie’s eyes darted around the room for an explanation. The windows were sealed. Did the air conditioning unit just turn on? No. Her clipboard clattered to the tile floor from the bed. Hands shaking, she picked it up in time to see papers flying through the air. Whew! She was relieved her shift was almost over.

The next morning, Jennie arranged an appointment for a clearing. In session, we were able to talk to the child. Angry at the early cessation of his life, he was throwing a fit, hoping someone would notice. Fortunately, he picked the correct person to “harass”, in that Jennie knew about my skills. I assured him that nothing could be done to reverse his status and assisted his return to the Light in an easy transition.

As with the child, there are other interesting, unseen beings out there: inter-dimensional riff raff, cling-ons, hitchhikers, tricksters, and more. Some are ghosts, but many are not. They don’t belong attached to your body, in your home, or in your place of work, yet they often arrive uninvited.

Unnoticed, entities attach and live off a host’s auric field or roam loose in the surrounding environment. They can leave one tired and irritable -- or worse. They can and do interfere with clear thinking. Removing entities is a simple procedure, but must be done correctly in order that they don’t jump onto the one doing the removing.

Haunting Core Issues

Clients working on pre-natal and birth issues in private sessions with me are transforming exponentially! For instance, I have been working with a man who was so abused as a baby that authorities removed him from his mother’s “care”. He went to live with a wonderful aunt who died when he was still in grade school, and he was sent to live with his grandmother, who died when he was twelve. Talk about abandonment issues! (click here to learn more)

Working on prenatal, birth and abandonment issues has made a dramatic difference in his symptoms of fibromyalgia, and his general feelings of strength and wellbeing. His core issue arose, I believe, from past lives of feeling abandoned by God, that were exacerbated in this lifetime.

In my experience, souls tend to seek particular lifetime circumstances to work out previous issues. What better way to make oneself work through unpleasant issues than to come back with a life that repeats whatever pattern?

Those issues return so we can finally get rid of them. What better time than now to work it out? When we tackle birth issues, it is useful for most people’s sense of confidence and security.

5 Holiday Tips

1. First of all, remember that we have lived many lifetimes where food was scarce. Chubby people were the ones who made it through the winter. It is an ancient, primitive reaction to lunge for food when it is displayed. (Notice the natives circling the food table?) However, this is the most overfed, abundant country in the history of the known world. I doubt you have ever truthfully been hungry unless you are on a fast. Repeat a little mantra before going out to holiday gatherings: “I AM SAFE, AND I AM SATIATED.”

2. Second, when standing at the food table, think about what you put into your mouth. Try really tasting the food. Is it scrumptious or does it just look scrumptious? I find that certain foods look delicious, but don’t necessarily taste delicious. (For me, that is true even with certain chocolates.) If you put something in your mouth that doesn’t delight you, remove it and discreetly discard it. (No need to hurt the hostess’s feelings.)

3. At a party, there is usually so much going on around us that we’re afraid we might miss somebody or something. So we stuff our face while staring around the room, not even noticing the goodies sliding down the hatch. However, if we turn our attention to the food, chew slowly and taste it, we are quickly satisfied and really don’t desire as much. Try it.

4. Sometimes, we feel anxious at a party. There can be lots of strangers, and we feel a little shy. Or someone will be there with whom we have unfinished business (translation: a quarrel or grudge), and we eat or over-imbibe as a salve for our unease. There are a variety of ways to deal with the anxiety. We can do EFT tapping beforehand or we can step back and breath deeply. My in-the-moment favorite is to carry a little bottle of calming, homeopathic Rescue Remedy with me, and take a quick drop under the tongue. Better to take RR than embarrass oneself with too much alcohol (not to mention a hangover the next morning).

5. When the hostess says, “Oh, there is so much food left over. Take some of this home,” shake your head and firmly say no thanks.

See? With a little mindfulness, you can greatly reduce your caloric intake and still have fun at the party. Be sure to tell me about your successes. Good luck!

The Seven Deadly Sins

When we hear the phrase “seven deadly sins”, it makes us shudder or a grin, depending on our background. Those sins were first mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible in Proverbs by King Solomon, then again in the New Testament by the misogynist, Paul. I’m sure the Koran must have also listed similar ones, as well as other books considered holy by followers. In AD 590, a little over two centuries after the Catholic monk, Evagrius, created his list for the Catholic Church, Pope Gregory I revised the list again, and deleted fornication from the list. (Hmm?)

The traits designated sinful by the Catholic Church in the 4th century were to delineate where people missed the mark. Paintings were displayed in churches to depict the deadly sins for those who couldn’t read. Strangely, the list of those sins has changed over the centuries. At one point, fourteen sins were listed.

The current list is: Pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why murder (which showed up on the original roster) is no longer on that list. To me, ending someone’s life is the “deadly sin,” closely followed by torture and rape.

For devout Catholics, personifying any one of these human traits means to commit a deadly sin, and once is enough to be condemned to Hell even if they never repeat it. I have a different point of view. Committing one of these acts merely means to me there is some serious personal work to be done.

When we look at these character flaws, I suspect that each of us has a tendency toward some or all of them. I believe that our mission on earth is to work though our flaws to embody love, compassion and wisdom. I believe that transformation is our primary mission in any given lifetime.

Due to issues we brought in from other lifetimes, plus prenatal fears, the horrors of birthing, and the difficulty of childhood, we grow up with an inclination to have various aspects of those “sins” show up in our characters. Do I think of them as deadly? No.

The Catholic Church has been under fire for some time. Although many of us can agree that the pointed finger is deserved, I believe that there is value in looking within to what needs pruning. While we may laugh at those sins carrying the mantle of “deadly”, each character defect deserves consideration.

In my point of view, those attributes are flaws to work through, with many avenues available for the task. Among many choices, there is prayer, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, psychotherapy and energy clearing. I’m sure there are other means, also. I’ve used all of the above at various times to produce change, and have made the most progress with energy clearing (which is why I now offer it).

The next group clearing session, we’ll work on those factors in our lives. Come for a lively evening. Call for your reservation 512-444-9777

A QUIET REVOLUTION by YOKO ONO

SPEECH FOR OXFORD UNIVERSITY ON MARCH 10, 2010

A butterfly is hopping from flower to flower. Oh, good. I think. The butterfly is busybodying as usual. Peace reins. But what is the butterfly really doing?

When a tiny movement like the flapping of the wings of a butterfly brings about a big change elsewhere, it’s called the butterfly effect in physics. I’ve just heard this one… so I don’t know it’s legitimacy. But if they don’t call it a butterfly effect, there should be a word that expresses this phenomenon. A breeze created by a bunch of kids dancing bringing a stop to an argument going on in the other side of the globe unknown to the dancers? Why not? The latest news is that even a couch potato is useful for us, in that their breathing helps to balance the atmosphere. The world and it’s mechanics are still very much a mystery.

We are like butterflies. We busybody ourselves every day for our survival as we think we know how. But the difference with us, is that we know we are not as innocent as the butterflies. We are about to ruin this planet we call ours through our stupidity. Letting the axis of evil turn the wheel of destruction. What can we do to reverse the situation? The enormity of the task depresses us to no end, to the point that it is almost easier to just give up, or try to tackle the evil force head on. But the truth is, if we try to reverse the wheel of evil, we will end up giving so much of our energy to its power, we will join it instead of reversing it.

Evil often presents itself to us as an illusion of goodness. So by being confused, instead of freeing ourselves from it, we could be destroyed by it. To protect ourselves, each one of us must clearly see what Evil really is. Evil is only a dis-ease (disease) created by confused minds, which eventually disappears by its own steam. But it can do so much harm before it self-destructs. So we must do something to counteract it NOW.

Luckily, there are so many of us in the world who are now ready to act to save our world. People ask me constantly what they can do to bring world peace. I want to make a suggestion here.

Let’s go step by step. Since destiny is created by first imaging what destiny we want for ourselves, we should IMAGINE PEACE in a big way with total conviction. In the old days, gurus sat and meditated day and night. That was pretty powerful. But we live in a different world. Time is so precious to us now. A million kids can be killed in one second as we are wondering what to do. So we can’t just sit and meditate. We should IMAGINE PEACE day and night, as we go about our daily lives.

Yes. One thing that is interesting is you cannot be violent while you are imagining peace. If all of us in the world imagined peace at all times, there will be no dis-ease in the world. In fact, dis-ease will disappear from this planet altogether.

The next thing we should do is to focus on healing the world we have destroyed, by asking your healing power to come out. Your intent of healing will start to show it’s power by just asking for it. When all of us in the world ask the world to be healed, it will be.

Know that it is that simple. We are all connected. We affect each other right away. We affect each other even when we are in fear, confusion, anger, wanting to destroy the world and help to increase the dis-ease. That’s how strongly connected we are.

Start doing what you can do, knowing that you are standing in the midst of an incredible disaster created by us, the human race. It is so bad that the farmers, who are providing what we eat, are being bankrupted for not complying to the ways of greedy corporate needs, losing their ancestral lands and some of them even committing suicide. The saddest thing is that so many children are sexually abused, sold for human parts and die or perish before their teens.

Take a good look at what is happening around you. You might feel you want to strangle the force of evil which is doing this. But I must tell you, don’t move until you changed your energy of anger into pure energy of getting the work done with love. Is that possible? Well, it has to be.

The Universe will be affected immediately as you start to think in the right way to correct the dis-ease in our world.

Start with something small. Do one nice thing a day. Call your mom and tell her you are thinking of her. Not just calling her for help. She’ll cry. Look at the trees and admire their beauty in words and in action. They’ll glow and grow.

Don’t ever be cynical. Cynicism is death. We are now swimming together to get to the shore of goodness and peace.. Cynicism will drown us right in the middle of the ocean and kill us. We need the power of belief to help us reach the shore. Nothing more. Be a busybody for our collective survival. Send a message to your friend and tell what you respect about her or him. Because they are your family.

Some people ask me if I get depressed, if I lose confidence in what I am and whether I get upset with those terrible people. Well, I do… for a moment. But I am really too busy, I don’t have time to be depressed, lose my confidence, or think ill of anybody, for long. I just don’t have the time.

Send your message through the internet of how you love life and why. Because the people on the internet are also your family. If you keep meditating in your mind – not giving yourself the luxury of making a special sit-in meditation, but doing what you can do to change the world, if you did that for three months you will see the difference in your life and even a difference in our planet. Really! Thus, we will make a quiet revolution together.

Be creative. But just do what you can do. Nothing more. By that, you will be starting the wheels of goodness to turn.

Something especially wonderful was told to me just recently. Two scientists who were researching the effect of waves in the ocean for two years, came to the conclusion that the smallest stimulus to the water - be it a drop of a pebble, or a child splashing the water at the shore - affects the whole ocean, each time. Well, I thought we do affect each other on land, but I hadn’t realized that that was true in the ocean as well! What a blessing! Nature is making things so easy for us!

So now I call us the small pebble people. Send small pebbles to the world. Don’t make big splashes with large stones. That will attract people and the wrong people as well. Our quiet revolution will not make announcements, but one day will be accepted by all people as the norm of life. The human race has done that with many things. Like we wanted to fly, and invented aeroplanes. We wanted to see the other side of the moon, and we have. This time, we want to heal our planet, and bring peace to this world. We can do that.

Meanwhile, in my minds eye, I see butterflies disappearing from earth as bees have. There will be birds getting confused by the directions of the new winds we are creating for energy.

A group of American Indians protested that the wind power was blowing the wind to their ancestors graves. “They should have protested at the inception of the plan. It’s too late, now” was what they were told. People need jobs. So the project is pretty much going ahead with no protest. Together with corporations which decided that they owned the water rights in some Eastern land, where people suddenly, could not drink water without paying the corporation, and some of them were jailed for not paying for the drinking water which was free for them all these years, I am a bit concerned that now we will have wind rights.

In fact, I am starting to miss the butterfly I saw in my backyard when I was a little girl. I was the kind of child, who just kept watching the butterfly dance – until the butterfly was in my heart. It was floating in the breeze, dancing the dance of life.

Start your own campaign today. You will see that it spreads and covers the world very fast, and meanwhile it will make you one of the small pebble people. Small pebble people are people who know that small pebbles, when they’re dropped in the ocean, will immediately affect the ocean of the whole wide world. Again, don’t throw big stones. It scares people and creates repercussions.

So we’ll just keep dropping small pebbles. Together. That’s how we will change the world. We change, and the world changes. Have trust in what you can do. Have trust in how fast we can change our world for the better. Why? Because we have to.

I would like to share an affirmation with you. Now say it in your mind with the firm belief that we are one, and together, we’ll make it.

In the name of truth, peace and love, Our planet is healthy and whole. We, the people of earth see clearly, hear clearly, think clearly, make the right judgment, right decision and the right move for the benefit of us, our planet and the Universe.

We are now bathing in the light of dawn, standing in the heaven we have created together on this planet.

We wish to share this age of joy with all lives on earth, as we are one, united with infinite and eternal love.

For the highest good of all concerned, so be it.

What is Karma?

Recently, the meaning of karma has been on my mind. I’ve noticed that its meaning is often improperly used in popular culture. Karma is an ancient Sanskrit word that means “the laws of cause and effect.” The Bible refers to the same concept as 'What you reap, so shall you sow.' In modern vernacular, we say: “What goes around comes around.”

How does this play itself out? For some, karma is enacted instantly (instant karma). As a simple example, I might get caught up in thinking angry thoughts after a disagreement with someone, then my hand gets slammed in the door. Or it may be more veiled and less immediate than that, such as reaping the results of another’s angry thoughts. Karma is a powerful teacher and can spark great spiritual growth.

When I acknowledge that, at some level, I co-created an issue with another, and I think about what needs correction within myself, something wonderful is free to show up. Forgiveness is a key.

That doesn’t mean that we should open ourselves to further abuse from someone. It merely means that we look at our behavior or thought patterns and do some self correction. We may not choose to continue a relationship with that person, but we don’t hold onto the anger around old stuff.

More serious karma may take lifetimes to work out. This might include cursing someone, setting them up for serious failure, betraying them, killing them, etc. For instance, when Joe mistreats Sam, Sam may choose to inflict torture on Joe next life time, and so on through lifetimes. Unless one consciously decides to work on dissolving the pain using the power of meditation, prayer, forgiveness or energy clearing, the pattern is destined to repeat. The more consciousness we maintain regarding our behaviors, the quicker karmic reaction generally is.

Karma is not about punishment, although many think it is. It’s about bringing our lessons into focus so we may correct our thoughts and behavior as we walk the path toward self realization. I think of karma as being like those little road bumps in the center stripe along the highway. Once I veer into danger, my auto starts hitting bumps, and I need to bring it back onto the proper course.

Compassionate Clearing, a powerful form of energy psychology, can assist in removing past and present life karma by revoking old curses and releasing past oaths and vows. Also, this clearing helps delete old thought patterns and lack of self forgiveness to prevent creation of further unpleasant karma.

We are creating karma continuously. Every act of will, every thought is karmic for positive or negative. Doing good deeds as well as thinking kind thoughts creates positive karma. Our thoughts and actions may show us we need some self correction or they may create joy and comfort. It’s our choice.

Abortion Blues

Recently, two different women came into my office for energy clearings and expressed pain from long ago abortions. I began to research the matter through the internet and through personal interviews with women who have had an abortion. Research revealed that women often have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which in this case is called Post Abortion Stress Syndrome (PASS), from their abortion. Symptoms may occur immediately following an abortion or in some cases, in the later years. Depression, anxiety, headaches, increased heart rate, insomnia, irritability, and overeating are common symptoms. In extreme cases, drug and alcohol addiction may occur.

Hatred and anger can be expressed towards husband (or lover) and family members who influenced a woman to abort. Her sex life can be affected. In a few cases, abortion also affects the woman’s bonding with future children as she can be either overprotective or possibly abusive to compensate for her loss.

I don’t care to argue or convince anyone whether or not having an abortion is the “right” thing to do. My concern is how these abortions affect many women detrimentally with lingering, deep pain.

My mother was a case in point. Seven months after I was born, she became pregnant with my little brother. She wasn’t prepared, physically or emotionally, to have another child. After birthing him (her fourth child), she became desperately ill, and was hospitalized. Daddy, a medical doctor, wasn’t sure Mother would make it. She did recover but was frail.

When Mother became pregnant for the fifth time few months later, my father insisted on an abortion for her, as he was worried about losing her this time. Mortified for religious reasons, my mother protested, but neither she nor any of the children resisted my strong- willed father for long.

Thirty years later, she related the story to me for the first time. She cried, as the event still evoked guilt and sadness. I tried to comfort and reassure her that it would have been cruel to risk her life, probably leaving four small children motherless. However, when she died at age 83, she still had not resolved her grief about it.

With this memory, curiosity and compassion compelled me to question women about their feelings surrounding their abortions. I discovered that about half of them had worked out their issues surrounding the loss. Some made up their minds that there was no other way that would work for the situation, and took a pragmatic attitude. Some were in deep pain, so they sought help from professionals or friends to resolve it, and moved on through.

Half of the women with a history of abortion I queried were still in emotional pain. Some of these women had obtained the procedure when it was illegal. Some felt morally wrong about having the abortions to begin with, and had been doubly traumatized by the insensitive men who performed them. Some felt bad about the decision, but had been bullied into it by boyfriends, parents, or husbands. Some of them longed for the unborn baby, and thought of it each year at their projected due date. There were many variations on their sorrow.

My most compelling concern was the burden of guilt, shame and grief they continued to carry. Shame kept them from seeking professional trauma care. Women who opt for abortion voluntarily, those who accept it as an obligation, and the ones who obtain one due to medical reasons or rape can all experience post abortion trauma equally.

This conflict is reflected in our nation’s ambivalence over abortion. Shamefully, our society still fails to address and support a woman’s emotional well-being post-abortion. It’s shoved under the table.

To cope with such powerful contradicting emotions, a woman needs professional help or at the least, strong support of loved ones to gain peace of mind. As with any trauma, individuals often try to "forget" the ordeal and deny or ignore any pain that may result after an abortion. It may never be forgotten, but the pain can be removed, and a woman may be assisted to heal, freeing her up to give her best to the world.

If you’d like assistance with the issue, I can help with a private session or in my workshop, Abortion Blues Completion. Email me at Dr.Robin@CompassionateClearing.com

Your Pet Illness

Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C.

Pet illness –the body’s “preferred” or chosen (as in recurring) ache, pain or illness that signals when one’s beingness is out of balance.

What is your pet illness? Does your gut ache and you have diarrhea or constipation? Do you have an on-and-off little cough? Is there an annoying eye tic that shows up? What about a recurring, pesky kidney infection? Do you get asthma symptoms?

What if it’s actually in your head or heart? Let me explain.

In my twenty-five years as a chiropractor, when I’ve taken new patients’ histories, I’ve tried to get a glimpse into their personal life to round out the picture. Invariably, I’m not surprised to discover that their physical discomfort or illness reflected physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual matters out of balance in their lives. Even auto accidents happened when their lives were the craziest.

Our bodies desire to stay healthy, safe, and pain free. It’s their job and, with what you give them in the way of food, rest, and environment, they do the best job they can. They long to talk to us, to tell us when we’re out of balance, but they have no other way than to whine or scream at us with persistent pain or dysfunction. Usually, they choose areas of the body that are weaker or formerly injured as their platform.

When a body is functioning poorly, its distress may be environmental, in that it isn’t being fed properly or is being worked too hard or isn’t getting enough sleep. However, often our body’s malfunctions are due to too much stress or unresolved emotional issues.

We tend to think of stress-related illness as problems such as ulcers and asthma, but the issue is much larger than that. Maybe you’ve heard that those who get bladder cancer or other bladder malfunction tend to be terminally “pissed off”. How about folks that are always saying that something is “a pain in the butt”? They tend to have hemorrhoids or intense hip pain. Those who don’t feel supported often have low back pain. So many of our physical problems are tell tale in mimicking our emotional tone.

For instance, one of my clients had intense sciatica, a burning pain that runs down her leg. As soon as we cleared her fury with her husband regarding a major argument they had, her pain went away. But the same pain flared up later with an upset about an entirely different matter.

On the other hand, the pet illness may not mirror the issue that’s bothering us. It is the aggravating, on again/off again symptom that seems to follow us around. It’s the skin break out, the back ache, the headache, the aforementioned cough or eye tic. It’s the one your doctor can’t pinpoint.

Many folks may have just one pet illness. Personally, I have a variety of them. Sometimes, neck pain shouts, “Way too stressed.” Occasionally, acid reflux screams, “Diet out of balance.” Other times, a headache telegraphs, “Working too hard.”

Our pet illness is a bellwether, guiding us to take a look at our lives, behaviors and bodies. Maybe there’s nothing really big that’s up for us. Perhaps it’s just something small in the moment - the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back, pointing to an older, more intense issue.

When we self-medicate, we are ignoring the symptoms and hoping it goes away. When we see a medical doctor, most likely she’ll prescribe something for the pain without addressing the underlying issues. In the short term, that’s the most expedient way to deal with our recurring symptoms. On the surface, that works. However, an untended problem will likely show up in another way.

It may seem threatening to plow up old hurts and aggravations and bring them to the surface for examination and healing. In my experience, however, confronting the deep personal issues is the only way to truly correct the problem.

You may wonder, once the issue is healed, will the pet illness return at a later date for a new issue? Yes, that’s why it’s called “pet”, because it’s there to say, “Heads up! Pay attention.” Like it or not, it’s your friend.

There are a variety of ways to clear these stuck places from the body. Talk therapy can work. Prayer and meditation are useful. However, I have found the newer energy psychology methods to be powerful and quick for many issues.

Do you have a recurring issue? Ready to let it go? Compassionate Clearing is a unique clearing method, combining body tapping, use of a pendulum, and verbal processes for powerful results. It moves energy fast and gives quick relief from your pet illnesses. Call 512-444-9777 for your appointment.

Relationships and Karma

Have you ever wondered why a romantic relationship can begin with excitement and promise, then end in a hostile state of chaos? On the surface, it makes no sense.
 
There may be obvious issues: differing backgrounds and cultures, old childhood abuse, communication challenges and self centeredness that create discord between two people. Families and friends non-supportive of the union can add fuel to the fire. Opposing expectations in child raising, religion and money can play a part.
 
Numerous theories abound regarding romantic difficulties, and some seem likely to be applicable. However, there are still those times when nothing really makes sense for a couple’s searing pain and misery. I believe their conflict could have originated with karma* they created many centuries ago. In my practice, I have never worked with a couple who hasn’t incarnated together in some role at least ten previous lifetimes, and often they have shared twenty, forty, fifty or more lifetimes.
 
When we first meet a love interest, we tend to think of her or him as a new person, one we’re just getting to know. Actually, what we see is merely the tip of the iceberg. Frequently, there is a feeling that “we’ve known one another forever.” There’s often a long history of karma, both good and not so good, underneath the surface.
 
Have these individuals always had a romantic partnership in past lives? It’s doubtful. A variety of relationships can form between two people over lifetimes. In my experience, couples have previously been parent/child, student/teacher, siblings, enemies, and business partners. They may have been the opposite sex or same sex. They may have had essentially loving relationships or nasty ones. In any event, they carry the hidden memory of those times together.
 
Why do people choose to return to a body on this planet at the same time as their partner? Perhaps they have loved one another many times, and they are re-creating allies. Perhaps a true animosity exists, and it cries out to be healed. The reasons are infinite.
 
Speaking from a karmic perspective, every soul’s job is to heal as many crusty, old conflicts as possible each time it returns in an earth suit. It’s natural to be attracted to those with whom we feel comfortable or desire healing.
 
One might wonder how we go about healing these difficult, karmic relationships. This type of issue obviously requires assistance of a different nature than what is generally deemed “normal” therapy.
 
First, there is the problem of old oaths and vows made in past lives, such as “I will love you eternally” or “I am committed to take care of you forever” or “I swear I’ll get even with you if it’s the last thing I ever do.” The words imprint a powerful, repeating pattern throughout a soul’s incarnations.
 
Second, there are curses and damnations we have made of others. In times gone by, curses were a powerful reality, and still are in many countries i.e. “I curse you to many lives of sterility” or “You are cursed to wander forever (or be unhappy or fill in the blank.)” If we damned our present day lover (or vise versa) in previous lifetimes, that condemnation can impact the current relationship. When we take another body, unconscious resentment festers toward those who have previously cursed us. These curses must be rescinded to produce a peaceful present.
 
Various verbal processes can employed to revoke oaths, vows, curses and damnations. A powerful way to do that is through use of energy psychology or energy clearings to make a statement relinquishing these ancient agreements. It is helpful to clear the emotional charge the couple has between them. It is also valuable to remove any unseen energy attachments which create discord. Interestingly, it often takes only one of them to do the work for the relationship to shift.
 
Once we have healed the hidden factors in a relationship, we are free to stay or go. We have more choice as to how we’ll relate to our partner or lover in the future. I believe, at that point, we can also choose whether or not we will return to experience another lifetime with her or him. With skilled energy clearing, the possibilities for resolving conflict and restoring love and compassion to a relationship are profound.

* Karma – the Universal law of cause and effect. Our actions, both good and bad, come back to us in the future, helping us to learn from life’s lessons and become better people. Karma is the best teacher, encouraging people to face the consequences of their actions. Even harsh karma can be the greatest spark for spiritual growth. (abridged from Wikipedia)

Do You Believe in Magic?

Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C.

Do you believe in magic? Magic is real and it is all around us. Sometimes we notice it and, often, we do not.

Many of us have lived many lifetimes in fear of being different. In former societies, being too different from the tribe could be fatal. Today, being normal, average and “real” is a huge limitation because it does not allow for the greatness and magic of you to show up.

Would you like to uncover your ability to have magic show up more often in your life with little effort? You are a creator. Your thoughts are powerful. With a little clarity and a few tools, you can create magic regularly.

First of all, you have to start acknowledging the times when you already do manifest magic. Stop now and spend a few minutes thinking about those times when there was synchronicity (perhaps you call it serendipity) in your life, and whatever you wanted showed up with no effort. Perhaps someone you were thinking of called. Did you take time to acknowledge that you did that? Well, do it now. Claim and own your capacity to manifest instantly.

Next, start asking questions: “What are the infinite possibilities of (fill in the blank) happening for me?” The Universe is truly on your side and wants to give you whatever you desire. Do not try to imagine how it will happen for you, because that limits the avenues the Universe can take to fulfill your desires.

Last, stop sabotaging yourself with doubts. When you doubt yourself, ask, “Am I buying into other people’s stuff? Who does this doubt, ridicule, belittlement belong to?” Just say ‘no’ to the ‘what ifs’ and the ‘I cannots’. Allow magic to happen. It is fun

What Is Emotional Freedom Technique

According to the EFT founder, Gary Craig, “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” His technique seeks to release those disruptions and return the body and mind to a healthy state.

Eastern medicine has long recognized the importance of maintaining health by allowing the proper and free flow of the body’s energies. In Chinese medicine, these channels are known as energy meridians, and are used in the practice of acupuncture and acupressure. They also serve as the basis of other energy healing modalities, including EFT.

Emotional Freedom Technique is a form of therapy that manipulates the body’s energy field by tapping on acupuncture points while focusing on a specific traumatic or unpleasant memory to remove a psychological issue. www.EmoFree.com 

Craig calls EFT “a unique version of acupuncture, except you don’t use needles. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips.” A specific sequence of tapping is used. Unlike drugs, EFT has no side effects. It can be done almost anywhere, even by phone.

It has worked for illness, anxiety, weight loss, poverty consciousness, insomnia, phobias and many other conditions. It’s amazing how quickly long-standing conditions can melt away.

How does the process work? Gary Craig created what he calls “The Basic Recipe,” a sequence that can be used in just about any situation with little adaptation, as suits the patient and practitioner. The practitioner assists the client in identifying a specific pain, anxiety, or problem. S/he then moves to use of an opening statement. (Craig likes to refer to this as the “affirmation”) that relates to an issue, sensation, concern, and emotion, based on this phrasing:

Even though I have this _____, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

The guiding phrase should be said with conviction, but even if the client doesn’t really feel it, just repeating the phrase with emphasis is most often quite effective. It’s amazing, yet EFT works even when the person involved is skeptical of the therapy.

Once you have established a phrase, you begin a series of tapping on specific points on the body that correlate to the various energy meridians. The simple sequence of guided phrases and tapping is often enough to release old patterns.

EFT can be very powerful and may cause certain biological shifts. It has tremendous healing potential and can move stuck places very quickly.

Who Is Sleeping in Your Parlor?

Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C.

Have you ever heard a ghost story told by someone as true? If you can believe statistics, a 2005 Gallop Poll stated that 75% of Americans believe in the paranormal, including ghosts, extra-sensory perception, clairvoyance, and reincarnation. The 2006 Baylor Survey of Religion reported that 37% believe in ghosts.

Ghosts are a mixed bag. If you have ever watched the outrageous TV show, “Ghost Whisperer”, you may have a really skewed, even frightened, vision of how disincarnate spirits interact on the material plane.

In my experience, people most often associate ghosts in connection with a particular house. For instance, someone moves into an old house and begins to notice that objects left in one place are showing up somewhere else. Perhaps somebody’s grandfather dies and he had a favorite rocker in his parlor. Later, the rocker rocks by itself with no one touching it whenever grandpa’s name is mentioned. There are many variations on this theme. When people learn that my skills include removing entities and ghosts from homes, offices, barns, people and animals, they often tell me another ghost story.

Although these unseen energies generally prefer to cling to live people (see my article “Who’s Been Hiding in Your Body?”), there are a variety of energies that can and do collect in buildings. Building entities may, in some way, make themselves known, much to the discomfort of the humans who enter those buildings. Most are relatively benign while others are quite the opposite.

In one case, a contractor called for help who was remodeling an old house for the new owners. Initially, she tried to placate workers when an angry entity vigorously commenced popping nails out of the newly installed gutters. She quit thinking it was so funny and requested relief after frightened workers refused to return to the work site. The antagonistic ghost, who believed the house to still be his, was resisting the intrusion of the renovation.

What are these unseen energies and why are they hanging around? Well, most often they are ghosts of people who have died and don’t want to leave the earth plane. Maintaining their own personalities after death, they often try to make themselves known to the current inhabitants of the building through a variety of ways.

Perhaps the deceased believed that she or he had done something unforgivable and was afraid of going to hell or being stuck in purgatory upon release of the physical body. S/he clings to the earth plane out of misguided self-protection.

Perhaps the ghost has a commitment to the house itself. I witnessed this in Las Lunes, New Mexico in a beautiful restaurant, formerly a home, where the ghost of a woman resides who loved and cared for the home through three generations. Her great pride in protecting the home for future generations keeps her there.

Perhaps someone has a loved one she or he has left behind who s/he believes needs care. For instance, an adoring grandfather who loved his grandson decides to stick around after death to mentor and protect the child.

Ghosts don’t necessarily have to be intrusive. Prior to my learning how to remove entities, I lived in a wonderful old home with an historic marker. I was unaware of any discarnate inhabitant there until I noticed that my cats would, from time to time, stare curiously at the doorway to the hall. Their heads would travel up and down as if they were looking someone over. After the cats did this for a couple of months, my shaman sister-in-law came to visit and casually remarked, “You know that you have a ghost over there, don’t you?” He was just quietly observing my comings and goings.

Are these entities malevolent? Sometimes, the energies are more sinister as with the prankster entities. They seem to have some consciousness, but not the same as ghosts. Pranksters can be quite annoying, whether attached to one’s body or one’s home. They enjoy causing discomfort to humans and animals by frightening or stressing them. It is commonly believed that pranksters feed off of the energy of fear. They are often mistaken for poltergeists.

Poltergeists are believed to be the energetic expression of adolescent girls who are sublimating their upset feelings. As such, poltergeists are not actually entities, but are energy manifested on the material plane through intense emotion. Poltergeists can toss furniture about the room, start fires, break things and otherwise terrorize the family. They tend to disappear after a short time.

Then, there are negative thought forms which may inculcate into the walls of a building. These can result from compulsive or obsessive thoughts repeated so often that they create a collective energy all their own. The thoughts manifest into an “energy blob”, so to speak, that gloms onto the walls. Or perhaps the couple living in that home has quarreled regularly over a long period of time. When people enter the building, they have a sense of dis-ease, gloominess, or static in the air even after the man or the couple has moved out.

Portals can be another concern in buildings. Portals are passageways through which non-physical beings pass from other dimensions and realities to our planet. (Beam me up, Scotty.) Some of these beings moving through are merely curious about inhabitants on the earth and some are mischievous troublemakers that have little regard for the emotional well-being of humans. Homes, offices or barns with portals have a non-stop parade of energies coming through.

Can anything else cause a problem with buildings besides entities? Often, buildings may sit on top of areas of geopathic stress such as ley lines and water veins. According to Joey Korn in his book “Dowsing: A Path to Enlightenment”, ley lines are lines or beams of energy that enter the Earth from the cosmos, turn at right angles at a certain depth under the surface, course the earth for a certain distance in straight lines, then turn upward at right angles to exit and return to the cosmos….” Ley lines may be either beneficial or cause a disturbance of energies. Then there are energies created by subterraneous streams crossing one another, creating a negative pulling effect directly above these streams on the earth’s plane and on the humans who may be living over them.

Occasionally, humans have the misfortune to build over an area considered sacred by those who have lived in the past, such as Native Americans. Those disincarnate souls have, to protect their sacred site from disrespectful others, put something akin to a curse on any trespassers on the land. Humans and pets living on the land can suffer a variety of misfortunes and illness.

Can ghosts show up in new or relatively new homes? Yes. Once, I was asked to come to a house less than two years old that had a lonely ghost who had followed the wife home when she returned from a conference held in an old monastery.

So how, you might ask, do I remove the problem makers? Often, folks will burn sage, camphor or dragon’s blood in a home or office to clear the negative energy. This sometimes works on heavy energy left over from unhappy people. It can also make you cough, particularly if you use dragon’s blood, a vile incense. Nasty entities generally require more than smoke to make them leave.

I use different techniques for different kinds of problems. Some situations call for verbal processes wherein I specify that entities are no longer welcome, and I encourage them to leave by letting them know that it is safe and necessary to go Home. Other situations may require procedures that include noise making and chanting as well as burning camphor. I also use a dowsing rod to check for ley lines and underground streams and, when necessary, give the area a treatment with copper or stones. I close with prayers and blessings of happiness and peace for the home or office.

Some places have only one or two problems; others have a plethora of energies that must be convinced it is time to go Home. Each building requires custom work specific to that place.

Although I have not covered all possibilities of energies that may spoil the tranquil feelings of a place, you now have a general concept of who might be “sleeping in your parlor”. If you feel inexplicably uncomfortable in your own home or office, or your animals are upset staying in their barn for unknown reasons, and you would feel ridiculous waving your arms and shouting, “Out, out, you rascals, you!”, I may have the answers you are looking for. Call me if I may be of service to you.

Who Does This Belong To?

Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C.

Do you ever have unwanted thoughts pop into your head? Do you sometimes have thoughts that don’t match your belief system? Have you at times been overpowered by grief or anger or loneliness when those feelings don’t correspond to your circumstances? If so, you are probably taking on the thoughts, beliefs, feelings and judgments of others.

A huge amount of our thoughts do not belong to us. Up to the age of two, we have a clear psychic link with our parents. Later, we continue to pick up their thoughts about themselves, us, and the world in general. We have no way of knowing that the thoughts running through our heads are not ours. We take these thoughts as our own, and live the rest of our lives as though they are our creation. Scary thought, huh?

Would you like to give that up? Here is a simple solution: When you have an unwanted thought, you can ask the question, “Who does this belong to?” (Yes, that is not grammatically correct, but it works.) Often, that thought or impression will leave immediately. Sometimes, you may even get a clear understanding of its origin.

Repeating “Who does this belong to?” on a regular basis can clear a lot of mind chatter. For an even more exciting result, try asking that for three days every time you have a thought. It can literally change your life!

Interview with Eric Dowsett

Please tell us where you are from.

I was born in the UK and moved to Australia when I was 21, in search of the self. I thought it might be easier to explore the self in a very different environment. It was.

By moving outside of the 'comfortable', the 'familiar' we are no longer held to a future that is determined by our past. This can be very important if we seek change on a deep level. All the while we are surrounded by our past, that past holds us locked into particular ways of being / reacting. To affect change, some people go on vacation, some redecorate their home, some try retail therapy; there are many short term solutions, and each should be seen as an opportunity to change.

I have spent much of my life traveling the world, experiencing different cultures. I have lived in England, Australia, and the US.

What is an Eric Dowsett Clearing for Being, and how does it work?

Essentially, the 'clearer' has developed the ability to notice any change in how they are feeling and not identify with that change. When the 'clearer' no longer personalizes the feelings, they can allow whatever (thoughts, feelings, emotions) to arise. This process helps the clearer to stop judging thoughts and feelings, which is a fundamental aspect of compassion.

When we can bring this ability, compassion, to the clearing, energy that has been stored in the 'client' is discharged simply by the open presence of the 'clearer'. This allows a window of opportunity in the client and change can, and often does, happen.

The extent of change is relative to the ability of the 'clearer' to hold the space (compassionate heart) and the degree to which the client has held onto belief patterns / emotions in the past. The more we have identified with thoughts and emotions, the more we have become those thoughts and emotions. More energy is required to release the associated charge, not because they are more difficult but because the attachment the individual has to certain ways of being are more established.

What benefits do people receive when they go through your training?

I like the old parable, “sell a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him to fish and feed him forever.” It works here.

Developing a more compassionate heart is one benefit that has an enormous number of positive, beneficial repercussions. Not only will a compassionate heart help the student create a more balanced, healthy inner environment, but it will be reflected in other people, including family and friends, as they are supported in being a very different way.

Second, as our inner system adjusts to a more balanced way of being, it reflects in our health, the health of those around us, the situations and people we meet, and the world we help create. A deep sense of liberation, or freedom from a limiting past, and inner peace is often reported by students of this way of being.

If we wish to see peace in the world, we must first become that peace. In my experience, this work is a powerful step along that path.

Where do you teach?

I have taught all around the world, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan, India, the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Ireland. I am currently developing a program that will assist others who wish to teach this way of being.

You’ve written a couple of books. Please tell us about them.

My first book, “The Moment That Matters”, was written in 1995 and discussed the relationship we have with our environment, the effects the environment could have upon us and the effect we could have upon it.

My second book, “Loving Who Shows Up”, looks at who we have become, why we became who we believe ourselves to be, why we maintain old 'familiar' ways, and how to move out of past conditioning.

A third book, a self help manual on personal clearing is currently seeking a publisher...

Thank you, Eric.

Who Is Hiding In Your Body?

 Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C.

Have you ever felt like you were acting or feeling strangely? Do you, after being sick or extremely angry or having been in a hospital or having drunk too much, become unreasonably cranky?

Possibly you have entities attached to you. These unseen stuck energies can create chaos in your life as mild and irritating as crankiness and extreme tiredness to outright rage and craziness.

Entities come in all varieties. They can be thought forms created by obsessing over some issues. They can be an individual entity, which is the ghost of a deceased person. They can be trickster entities, whose purpose is to cause you and others grief. They can be groups or clusters, mindless twits just there to confuse you. They can be “multiple housing” or equal strength partners, those beings who have sworn to be with you forever. (Soul’s interpretation of forever: throughout all lifetimes) The list goes on.

That we have entities creating havoc in our world is the bad news. Life can be enough of a challenge without them. The good news is that entities may be removed and the person or animal carrying them can be restored to wholeness so as to reclaim her or his life.

Robin Heart Shepperd, D.C. has been removing these unseen, often undetected, entities from people, pets, homes and offices for over twenty years. She will remove them for you in a private session. She can also teach you, through weekend classes, the skills of how to remove entities and curses from yourself and others. Shamans in “primitive” societies have done it for centuries and so can you.
