Reiki, Tantra, EOB, Drum Circles, Spirit Dance and more…
I’ve mentioned in a previous post about the different areas of practice I’ve been involved with to increase my consciousness, my awareness, my spiritual growth and become more aware of my gifts as a spiritual being. First let me say, we are all able to do this in whatever way that most resonates with us. I personally am not a big fan of religion but I do not judge those who are religious or just casually practice a religion that truly inspires them to feel comfortable with who they are, love themselves and love others. What really matters is that you operate from your heart and share your love with others through conversation or seeing needs in others and helping fill them if they will allow while respecting those who decline. That is one of the hardest things is when you feel someone needs something that you can provide but they express an unwillingness to accept. What is of the case, even when you feel they need it, they are usually not ready. Also sometimes I’ve found someone struggling with something and for some reason I see it, but don’t recognize it, (my mind wonders or something) then someone else helps them and I initially feel bad that I didn’t do something. But I often realize, that it was not my place to help them, the one who did, was the one who was supposed to, so I should not feel bad that I did not. Remember that every occurrence that happens something else follows in a sequence of events. If that sequence is changed or interrupted it can change the course of events in a dramatic way.
I bring about all this because though some of this I had some awareness of, I did not feel it on a daily basis as I do now. When I started Reiki Circles just a couple years ago, I did not know what Reiki was previous to that. I had never heard of Tantra. Drum circles I’d heard of but had no idea what they were about. Spirit Dance I also hadn’t heard of, nor many of the other spiritual practices I’ve come to love and really resonate with who I am. Before I started Reiki I was definitely not living in my truth, I had much fear in many ways, though I denied it I did have more vanity than I would admit and did have fears about other’s perceptions of me. I was very uncomfortable in my own skin mostly because I was very blocked off, out of touch and had trouble facing who I really was, afraid that who I was I myself could not accept. I had so many conflicts going on within myself that my self love was so far down the toilet and I couldn’t even find my way to the seat from the underside.
Once I went to my first Reiki Circle, down in Miami Beach, that’s when my life began to change. It was first time I feel I experienced unconditional love. I felt very comfortable, that I was with people who wouldn’t judge me. This circle consisted of a guided meditation done by a woman named Lee Ann Ferre. I was so amazed with how well she did this I had to tell her so afterward and I did. Also I learned she came from a Reiki School called Loving Touch Center. At their store, Crystal Vision www.crystalvisionltc.com they do Reiki Circles every Friday and Sunday nights. They also do Monday mornings. At the time though I went with my daughter to the Sunday night ones. After experiencing Reiki circles for about four months I learned that they were doing a Reiki 1 class and I wanted to become a practitioner. After practicing Reiki when attending circles for about 14 months I became aware of so much more. I also had gone to SiddahYoga in Miami, a Tantra Yoga class in Fort Lauderdale done my Nayano Burdine www.tantricalife.com , various drum circles, prayer and spiritdances and met many others in various spiritual circles. In the process of this I connected to so many loving people.

Messages for you from Movies, Books, TV, Music and People
Messages that many of us get everyday all day are from our everyday environment like movies, books and songs, and People. One of the things I’ve learned about paying attention to the guidance I receive is sometimes just a pattern of feelings that leads me to an awakening or seeing something from a perspective that hadn’t occurred to me before. In a previous post I mentioned shifting. When ever that happens I experience a shift. One major shift I had was during the
Exercise, Nutrition and Spiritual Energy
The other day I posted my first blog post about spirituality. As a mix for good health with Nutrition and exercise which I’ve been posting for a couple years now.
With my last blog post about sports injuries, or wear and tear when it comes to exercise, it came to be that many feel you can do all the concentrated nutrition and exercise you want and it didn’t stop “someone they know” from getting cancer, Alzheimer’s, or some other deadly disease. I will say that although this is true, I feel the occurrence of the disease likely came about from a stressful scenario in their life that wasn’t resolving. There is a book that I can’t remember the name of that lists a bunch of behaviors or habits that have an amazing cause and effect on the manifestation of disorders. When I looked at the book I was amazed at the examples I found in the cause and effect of the behaviors and habits of my dad, my mom, myself and others and certain ailments that they had. Being aware of these was an eye opening experience to make changes in those areas. However often times knowing of these is not enough. I have also found that getting myself exposed to various energies can help to make the changes or other wise known as shifts. Shifts are something that happen when either we are exposed to different information that helps us to see things in a different way, or and experience that occurs with similar results. I’ve also seen that happen in that one can make pretty immediate changes when just exposed to different spiritual energies. When I say energy I am not referring to when someone feels a lot of energy they feel like doing a lot of activity. Another way to put it would be to refer to these energies as frequencies or vibrations. As you know vibrations and frequencies are all around us, though many associate those as the electronic ones we are bombarded with every day, I’m referring to the natural ones. There are vibrations that all matter have. As we know all matter is made up of molecules and the only difference between say air and a table are the frequencies that they vibrate at. Well these spiritual energies come about as a result of what some people can bring about and what can just be called upon by us. Remember we are all spiritual beings here in our bodies to fulfill a purpose.
Many of us have difficulty finding our passions because we’ve become so accustomed to not really enjoying life but just surviving. Know that you are here to do more than just survive, you are here to really enjoy living your passions. Another method I was made aware of by a few of my spiritual friends is a workshop called EOB or “Essence of Being”, This is an incredible workshop which is facilitated by a woman named Burge Smith Lyons and is an incredible person in my opinion. This workshop is one in which you interact with others doing different exercise of interactivity, questions are asked of you and those you do this with which is an incredible experience. They use a number of techniques, many of which I’ve seen and used before but combine them in such a way to really help you to get to the root of many of the things that are troubling you in life. It helps you learn to take control of your life. As I say, we are all here for a purpose and if you’re not sure what tat is, I recommend taking this workshop. Get more info at www.Essenceofbeing.com or check out the FB invite http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=147990078592813 assuming you’re on FaceBook. If you’re not let me know, I’d be happy to provide info to this amazing experience.
That is why we are all here. The only thing we need to do is make yourself aware of that purpose and to go about executing it. Sound simple right? Obviously not since many of us are clueless as to what that purpose is that we’re supposed to fulfill. What it comes down to is our passions. Whatever it is that makes you feel good, feel alive, that is where you should be and what you should be doing. If you love what you do, it makes life much easier. Some of us are still searching and still feel clueless, or find what makes us feel great or have trouble finding how to make it our livelihood. Usually when we have trouble either finding our passions or finding how to make it our livelihood is due to fear. Fear that we’re not good enough with our passions to charge people for it. However the reality is that we are indeed good enough for those who need our help, our guidance, our talents that we do not realize the benefits we provide. Another issue with this is to allow. Allow yourself to be available to those who need what you are passionate about, Who are more than willing to pay a good price to receive what you have to offer.
The bottom line here is, Taking good care of your body and exercising regularly for optimum health are all useless if we are not fulfilling our passions. It is said that man does not LIVE on food and water alone. Love is a part of that and Love is the most powerful energy in the universe. If we don’t have a love for what we do and we don’t give and share love in our day to day lives being involved and doing, following our passions, then we are not fulfilling the purpose our spirit put us here for in the first place and it may be your spirit manifesting the disease because you are wasting time by not fulfilling your purpose.
As I said in that previous post as well I have discovered that fulfilling your spirit’s purpose for putting you here, is actually more important the nutrition and exercise. Though doing both of those I feel will make you more productive in fulfilling your purpose. Personally I feel promoting nutrition and exercise is part of my purpose, The other is working with people to help them resolve who they are and why their here. Which is why I feel I was led to Reiki., Tantra and the other spiritual practices I’m involved with that all resonate with me so much and makes me grateful to have found my place.
Sports Injuries, or Exercise Wear and Tear.. and Nutrition.
The bones cartilage and all parts associated with the joints would be repaired and strengthened through proper nutrition for. What it takes is to increase the nutritional concentration on a daily basis. The key factor is getting the ALL important enzymes that are only mostly found in vine ripened produce.
Yesterday as I was riding my bike I came across a woman running using a device on her shoes or perhaps it was part of her shoes, that was a kind of a bow spring, I slowed down on my bike to ask her about it. I felt it was to increase the strengthening of her calves, but actually it was to relieve the impact to her ankles and knees, I said ah, ok cool. I said that on the out side, but on the inside I said bad idea. You may ask why a bad idea, isn’t that good to be able to get the running exercise in without stress to the ankles and knees since running is known to cause issues there? And the answer is……. No, I don’t agree!!!
The reality is that common injuries or wear and tear on certain joints etc associated with some sporting or exercise activities are “known” to occur and some accept those as facts. The reality is they are misconceptions. Do these injuries and wear and tear not occur? Of course they do but it is not due to the activity, it is due to inadequate nutrition one gets in the dietary intake that is the problem. Not the activity itself. If we needed a contraption like that woman was wearing don’t you realize we would have been suited with something like that in our anatomy to prevent problems. No, if we take in sufficient amounts of nutrients on a regular basis these injuries or “wearing out” would not occur, those areas of the body would repair and get stronger according to what is needed for the body to protect itself. Just as body builders take nutrition to help their muscles adapt to handling the workout, there fore building muscle mass. The bones cartilage and all parts associated with the joints would be repaired and strengthened through proper nutrition for. What it takes is to increase the nutritional concentration on a daily basis. The key factor is getting the ALL important enzymes that are only mostly found in vine ripened produce. Increasing your nutritional intake starts with consuming lots of raw, vine ripened fruits and veggies on a daily basis. Problem is your local grocery store does not have vine ripened produce. And no organic isn’t necessarily vine ripened either, Vine ripened means the produce was picked at it’s peak of being ripe. That’s when the. They only get in in the last couple weeks of becoming ripe occur and what is at the store shelves are picked way before that.
I have a solution though if your interested in finding out more please contact me.
I will say that this information is not just about what I’ve read, or heard about but what I’ve experienced for myself. I, about 10 or more years ago decided to start running regularly since I wanted to get rid of abs fat that I always had trouble with and I learned running was the best way to get rid of it. So I did so for a couple months but found my ankles and knees were bothering me from the “impact” from running. So I stopped, and did different exercise. Then when I learned of the way to increase my nutritional density I did so and had been at it for maybe two years when I began learning about how others were benefiting. So I decided to start running again and found that not only could I run 3 miles daily without any problem, I got up to 6 and as much as 8 miles in a day with only some minor discomfort. That’s when I realized how important nutrition plays. Another part of nutrition which I’ve mentioned before which is key which is hydration. Hydration is really important for so many areas, so if you combine good hydration with concentrated nutrition it’s a very good combo. Though seeing me to get some Reiki is very helpful as wellJJ As I said in a blog post from a coupe days ago. Getting some life force/spiritual energy in the mix makes for an unbeatable combo when it comes to good health.

Healthy Sleep, and healthy sleep habits
Very interesting info here from Dr. Mercola. I knew sleep is very important and adequate amounts of it as well. But did not realize the importance of getting your sleep while it’s dark and to avoid sleeping in during daylight. One should sleep in total darkness and sleep as many hours before midnight as possible and up by sunrise.
I had sometimessacrificed sleep for exercise time, but learned later what a bad idea that really is. Exercise is important, but not a the expense of sleep since sleep is when most of the body repairs take pace. Some of those repairs are a result of exercise. An ironic part of posting this now is as you’ll see and hear. I should already be in bed:):) Watch and learn. I sure did.
Now is best time to boost your immunity
I just posted about the Swine Flu Vaccine and the importance of naturally boosting your immune system. The reality since cold and flu season is upon us, now it’s extra importnat to do so. Interestingly many are not quite sure how to do that. If you’ve read previous blog postings of mine you know I’m AGAINST vitamin supplements. I advocate whole food for the best health. Here is a link…the first of many to help guide you to that goal. There is one thing mentioned here I don’t agree with and that is dairy. I don’t agree that dairy helps the immune system. I’ll post more info on that later. The other food items on concepts are good.

Pill for longevity?
OK, enough is enough.
We know we need to eat healthier, but there are those who like the idea of a pill of for this and a pill for that, some not realizing that the pills are usually a drug and drugs are synthetic. Synthetic substances have bad side effects because they are made by mad scientists….oops, I mean man, sorry for the Freudian slip, not nature and should only be used for a short period of time, not indefinitely.
Now we have the substance, resveratrol that has been brought more to light recently and is in the skins of grapes and found in red wine. Now they want to make a drug from that to increase longevity? When will the pharmaceutical madness in this country stop?
We’ve seen the TV commercials for drugs to allegedly prevent degenerative diseases, that are followed by a ton of disclaimers about not taking this if you have a list of other conditions. Does anybody remember years ago when Saturday Night Live had what were called “Non-Commercials” that joked about commercials like this? Perhaps they still do, haven’t watched SNL in years but why are Americans so easily accepting of what the pharmaceuticals are doing? Why does 60 minutes report this as if it’s a good thing, a new drug being developed to slow aging. When will we poo poo anything that tells us that a drug will work better than what nature has provided and not charge us crazy amounts of money to get it?
Here is the 60 Minutes story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3TGKOQeTrc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enews3news%2Ecom%2F048%2Ehtml&feature=player_embedded
