the mind does not need to be controlled it requires conscious focus as we have all been hypnotized to stare at the negative with our collective minds forming a state of unconscious creation. Today train the mind to LOOK for positive aspects, go on a treasure hunt of goodness, notice beauty and most of all invite being in AWE

The Dam Experiment
Continuing my journey from childhood fears of things out of proportion, recurring dreams of giant snowballs being pushed up small hills to realize how light they were to hulls of a ship in dry dock. All fears are symbolism for something that blocks other areas of your life. How then would we know the blockage existed.
My Dam fear was known to me for many years but last year I walked the Hollywood Dam as a pre amble. As I walked the Dam, making my way into the middle I could feel the body of water being held back. Standing in between two worlds of water/lake to a sheer drop/dryness was very reminiscent to my work with energy. Standing between the two worlds of physical and non-physical being the translator can be a balancing act of sorts.
The road trip to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon was to conjure up new sensations. The Hoover Dam did not have the same feelings or sensations as the Hollywood Dam and if they did my work the year before would have been futile.....so what was it that this Dam held for me. As I walked over the Dam with it vast concrete carved out of the scenery I felt a feeling of nature and man creating something quite magnificent. The combo of the significant and the insignificant was quite clear, harnessing the energy being held in this place was one of joy and accomplishment more than anything else.
The Grand Canyon on the other hand had a very different energy. This sacred space that has been etched for us to fathom the vastness reached deep into my psyche. My parents and I decided to get up before sunrise so see the Canyon for the first time. We had driven into the National Preserve the night before in the pitch dark and went with other intuition to find out lodge. As we approached the Yavapai Observation point my mother half sleeping walked to the end to scream aloud in her Scottish Brogue "OMG look at the size of that ...its enormous". Her sudden realization at the vastness could not have been put any better and made us all laugh. As we toured the South Rim and I recalled the experience of standing on the glass bridge the day before with my father a feeling of greatness was to fill me from the emptiness of the canyon. This "hole in the ground" has been given to us to comprehend the greatness with in ourselves that we can also carve out slowly but surely.
So with that there are no more blocks, no more holding me back to be all I can be .....and I give that as my gift to you. Find your greatness with you and unleash not your potential but your gifts. In the words of Muhammed Ali "I am the greatest"

After being asked on the eve of my 40th to officiate a wedding ceremony in Rome, I find myself questioning the entire process. As I arite out the ceremony I see and feel the energy weave through this ritual from a male prospective. Woman are casually walked down an ailse to be given to the man as property or possession. Now, with statistics the way they are in marriage....perhaps, marriage is not the problem. Maybe its the ceremony. Perhaps the evolvement of the feminine is not buying this male driven ceremony of sickness and health. But what if there was hope. A new ceremony. A ritual that celebrated union.... the dreams and hopes of two individuals being intertwined and supported by each person. I collaboration of energy to be allyou can be.
I believe in commitment, between friends, family and lovers but mostly I believe in the celebration of that commitment between both persons and the ceremony must reflect that wholeheartedly which it is not ....until now
Who said it can't be done.....well it already has been :))

Collective Consciousness
Well our first Collective Consciousness Meditation evening of 2009 began tonight.....we were a small group from starting meditators to more seasoned. A gentle guided meditation took us to our place of being in our breath and kept us there, nothing to elaborate but just enough to place us in the vastness of the space.
For me the collection of meditating with others lets me enjoy the frequency of it all.....the room began to disappear as my energy felt so vast that I did not really have any notion of when, where or what .....it was truly a power moment of 35mins that did not exist in the room. Those who found it difficult to meditate were quite astonished that 35 mins had actually occurred but a feeling of stillness went with us tonight into our week and the knowledge that we can access it at anytime was extremely potent.....
Love & Light till next week

Tom..... neautralizing the Cancer
I want to Thank you all for your support over the past year and I want to share an amazing story of cancer success using EFT, balancing the body's ph level and determination
Tom came to me in July of this year as he was recently diagnosed with colon cancer Tom knew of EFT from his sister who had "cured", yes cured herself of scleraderma, a deadly auto-immune disease that affects the skin. Just to give you a brief background, Tom hit 50 2 years ago and felt a deep sense of regret of how he let things pass him by, he was not quite sure who this person was that he had become and became angry at himself for letting things spiral, wrong diet, drinking too much...basically Tom had checked himself out of the game of life. Tom incredible emptiness, angers, resentments, guilt mostly at self fueled the cancer he had grown and he knew if he made it he can unmake it.
Tom's own admittance of what this cancer for him was made of, fueled by wrong lifestyle, put him on the path to stop drinking, start exercising, and change his diet dramatically ...weekly sessions of Emotional Freedom Technique bringing down walls of self loathing attitudes to re-program his psyche took great inner strength and determination he did not even know he had. Tom said it was his moment of truth, he decided take control of his own destiny and healing process, he travelled to San Diego to learn about his PH balance within his body. He went on a 12 week cleanse of only eating blended greens, designed to change the ph level in his body from acidic to alkaline,which would then change the health of his blood which in turn would revitalize all of his cells. He attended monthly Native American Indian Sweat Lodges and even got on a horse. He was so in the saddle of life that this week he has received the news he has been striving for ....his blood work (cea cancer markers) went from a 11.3 all the way down to normal, yes normal (2), the PET scan cannot find any sign of spreading and even the possibility of the tumor having shrunk and the Doctors are telling him to keep doing what you are doing ...he is living a balanced life both emotionally, physically and spiritually and loving every moment of it.
Tom would like to thank all of you he has met at Circles and Sweats and hope to see you at many more. We both wish you a Happy ThanksGiving and thought it would be good to share this success story with all of you

Earthquake....shaken but not stirred
I was having brunch with a client and friend when the earthquake of July 30th struck. He was a native Los Angelino who seemed unfazed by the exodus from Hugo's on cell phones who proceeded to tell me that we should just finish our meal and it was not very big (5.4).....On reflection to yesterdays events I seemed slightly unfazed myself that the city was shaken yet did not stir, my refrigerator repair man turned up on time and did not even discuss the quake, he just want to defrost the freezer. 24hours later I have noticed dip in peoples emotional energy, some lack of luster, a wee bit of the post quake blues.......and I am not excluded in this feeling so today I hiked with appreciated and from a place a being grateful for the low seismic quake and the feeling of being alive.

Native American Indian Sweat Lodge...Full Moon Saturday Aug 16th
The sweat lodge is an important ritual used by Native American Indians as a ceremonial sauna to purify the mind,body and soul combination. The Lodge symbolizes the womb of Grandmother Earth and the heated stones represent her body supporting life. The fire is used to heat the rocks on the outside of the tarpit and represent the perpetual light. Once these stones are brought into the lodge the water is poured upon them to create steam which permeates the air, creating hot, humid atmosphere conductive of the energies that are invited into the lodge.
All four elements of earth, fire, water and air combined with our ancestors energies creates an atmosphere of intense release for many as you sit in the dark unable to distract your attention from yourself through observing others. The flap is opened on three occasions to allow the firekeeper to enter more hot stones into the pit, as the heat builds and becomes more intense. There are four part of the ceremony, as the stones are brought in for the first part we will led in a chant, by Patti, the door is then closed and the sweat begins. More water is poured as the chief, Lyn offers prayers for self, others and for releasing pain and suffering. Each round offers new test of endurance of the heat, your feelings and yourself.
I love these sweats and I am very lucky to have Lyn who has been healing for many years and founder of the Wild Rose Dream Lodge since 1993. Our Reiki energy adds a new dimension to the sweats and I look forward to many stories that we share after our experience together as we eat our pot luck at Doug's who is our firekeeper and host of the sweats in Pasadena.
Please join the mailing list to be informed of these events as they fill quickly and space is limited. The sweat is $30 and please bring a pot luck dish so that we can feast together afterwards. The first sweat by Lyn & Patti will be on August 16th a beautiful Full Moon, so be prepared to let it all go.......!

July Reiki Circle .....
July Reiki Circle @ the beach ....Saturday July 26th.....4pm-5.30pm
Just to give you the heads up, overnight camping trip to Sequoia in early September (Reiki Circle and riding horse's).
This months Circle is bringing the energy of the ocean into our life's, going with the current and recognizing when doors are closed that others are opened. I sometimes believe we try and make things happen that should not really transpire and give up too soon on other things and poeple, it is knowledge that points us in the direction but wisdom that chooses the path.
I feel we are all fish in a ocean of ether, sometimes we don't understand we live inside the energy all we have to do is swim towards a point on the horizon but not against the current. Sometimes we should have ate more carbs before we got in the water as the distance is far and sometimes we should not have ate so much as it drags us down. What do you need on your journey to reach your destination in life? Who would you like swimming next to you? You sometimes do not need to know every stroke you are going to make on your journey ........just the point on the horizon.
