I Am Who I Am

You my be a big fan of Seal, and still haven't heard this song before.  I find the message very appealing, and the words to be most important in a time on our planet that many have described as 'so out of sorts' or 'gone mad'. With so many focused on war and the destruction of life, anything that seems to unify and bring the spirit of hope and joy is so welcome. We all arrive here from the same ocean of divine and infinite love and light. We may come with different missions, yet no matter how seemingly negative or unkind any of us may find the missions of others to be, FAITH in all of humanity is key to peace and harmony. How can one be so rich, live so well, eat more than enough, avail of life saving medical treatments, get amazing education, and enjoy the opportunity to travel anywhere while another goes without food, without medical treatments, without education or the chance to see our world freely? How can one be rich at all if others starve, die needlessly, don't learn to read? How can we say we have anything at all when some have nothing? Who are we? What are we as a people? How have we become so full of greed and disregard for human life?  

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

When you say out loud I AM...how does the story go? Who are you? What are you? Karma explains so much, and we have the ability to improve the lives of others, and as such, unleash ourselves from some of the chains of karma...and still we don't free anyone, let alone ourselves.  

There is a wonderful book that was just released at the end of 2010 written by HOWARD FALCO and called I AM. If you get the chance, I suggest you read it at least once. 

In Howard's book he writes something to the effect of:

If each person would agree to take one day (the same day) to support and uplift everyone else, there would be a tremendous rise in our planetary consciousness on that day.

Just imagine a day when everyone takes a day and just sets out to support and uplift everyone, even just a little bit...can you imagine this happening? Sadly, if you are aware of the UN International Day of Peace, well, research it if you like...again, sadly, most people don't even know about it.  

Additionally, there was much work done to create a day wherein all wars would stop on this day of international peace. This was an effort to restucture the International Day of Peace to include world-wise STOP of all wars.  Just imagine the work that went into dealing with so many waring countries...just think of what it took to travel the globe negosiating a 24 hour day of PEACE.  A time for families to reunite, for soldiers to rest, no bombing, no bullets, no killings. A vacation from all wars worldwide, a day to just stop the fighting for everyone everywhere. It took so much money, deadication, contributions, so much effort, and real drive and passion. It looked like it was going to work...it was really going to happen. Amazing!

Unfortunately, on the morning of September 11, 2001, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, was speaking in New York at the opening of the UN General Assembly. He reminded the gathering that this was the 20th anniversary of the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE, "a day of world-wide peace and goodwill".  He was just about to lead a moment of silence in the name of peace when the first jet struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. No matter what your views are of what REALLY happened, that day, 9-11, began the WORLD-WIDE WAR OF TERROR. It's insane. No wonder so many view the world as 'gone mad'...where is the love?

So when you ask yourself who you are and what you are, the answers may surprise you. Are you a greedy boss, a militant parent, a manipulating spouse, an uncaring teacher? Are you perfect? Are you sunshine and lightness? Are you everything and anything without judgments? Are you mostly happy? Do you give to others in a proper way? Do you know what a proper way to give is? I AM...

Everything is a Blessing...You are a Blessing.

Wishing you Peace and Light until we meet here again...

Gregorian Chanting Monks - Music For The Soul

Chanting goes back thousands of years, yet so few people are currently aware of the reasons for chanting and the tremendous benefits of this beautiful activity. It seems most people living in industrialized countries around the globe consider chanting to be the sort of thing for monks in far off places like Tibet, or Gregorian Monks, or that chanting is reserved for church services or protest. Chanting is a powerful spiritual tool. Chanting is such a powerful spiritual tool, that by definition, chanting is actually MEDICINE! Yes, chanting heals!

Please take a moment to hear this video of Gregorian Monks chanting in a song like fashion. If you settle yourself down, get a bit calm, find your center, relax, take a few deep relaxed breaths, close your eyes and push play, you will feel what I am telling you. Please try it now.

I pray you have enjoyed this few moments of peace. I teach and lead group sessions as well as private chanting sessions designed to heal the FIVE BODY SYSTEM.  Should you wish to learn to use this amazing blessing to support healing in your life, please contact me for a schedule of group sessions, or to arrange for a private healing session. All of us truly can heal from anything, we can forgive anything, we can overcome anything...and "yes" allowing the divinity of light and sound to assist you in your journey will provide the loving support you deserve in your life. You are never alone. You are united to all your brothers and sisters in this great river of soul. Your family is here. You are not alone.

Wishing you much peace and love, kindness and joy.

Until then,

Harmonics - Salt on a vibrating table

One way to describe this demonstration of how sounds create shape would be to call it SOUND ART, or MUSIC ART. It makes me think that sounds and music create a geometrical formation that can effect everything in the surrounding area on a cellular level. That being said...how would Mozart LOOK in terms of the shape the salt would form? I assume Mozart would formulate complicated, yet beautiful shapes that would fill the air and enter us leaving a beautiful imprint of sound. If this is true, would music that sounds harsh and dark and 'ugly' then create less 'beautiful' designs with the salt? 

I'll look and see what I can find, and should you find out first, well, please let us know and thank you in advance.

I had fun with this and I wish that you did too.

Much Love...ALL LOVE...EVERYTHING IS LOVE~

I wish that you'll visit here again soon.

 Good Bye Now~

What Amazing Things One Can Learn by Reading!

Hello Dear Friends,

So, what did reading teach me today? Well, as an example, did you know that even under general anesthesia our ears still hear while our brains remember and react to what we hear? Did you already know that? I certainly didn't.  This is according to the research and published findings of Linda Rodgers, C.S.W.  Rodgers tells us "The auditory pathway, unlike all other sensory systems, has an extra relay. Auditory fibers are not affected by anesthetics, so they continue to transmit sound. Simply stated: We never stop hearing!"

Linda Rodgers was motivated by her research to establish the Audio Prescriptive Foundation that makes CDs to be used before, during and after surgery. This anxiolytic music is the subject of a not yet published three year study conducted at New York Hospital.  If we can hear during these stressful times when we are completely at the mercy of the surgeons and the OR teams, not to mention the angels of death, well, I think pleasant soothing music, soft sounds, or you know...at least Harry Conick Jr. seems appropriate.

All of this is about how sound can assist us. Apparently, we hear and know our mother's voice long before we are born. As newborn infants we can hear the voice of our mothers. We know our mothers when we hear their voice even before we are born. Sound has already connected us to our mother and we know her first through sound. Of course, there are many that live without the ability to make sound, those that aren't able to speak and others that will never hear. I don't know what to think of this group, the deaf and or the mute. Perhaps they think in words and those words create a vibration within there bodies at the cellular level, thus transmitting a different type of signal for the infant to connect with. It's puzzling, and of course, I have no real idea...just sort of thinking out loud here.

I am grateful for my hearing and ability to speak words. Or as the French physician Alfred Tomatis, M.D. put it "I prefer to say that it is only God who speaks, and man exists to translate this message-very awkwardly it is true-into human language".

So even in the death state of anesthesia, our ears continue to hear. While we are so incapacitated, so near a living state of death under such powerful drugs, so knocked out that our hearts can be replaced, our limbs removed, all sorts of appliances implanted, when we can be poked, cut up or sawed, then sown together, we, in this state can still hear! That just sounds crazy to me!

I am learning so much about sound through the amazing books that others have been kind enough to spend their time creating. A very speical thanks to Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D aurthor of The Healing Power of Sound, Shambhala, 2002

In my healing practice, energy, vibration and sound are the tools that I use to rebalance, ease and adjust people who have made the chooice to live better...and better is always better!

I thank Mr. Neville Johnston of Reston, Virgina as well for his time and concern in my training and atunements.

Everything is a Blessing!  Good Bye for now, and I really wish that you visit here again soon~ Apple Blossom
