So, in this time when outer manifestation may be eerily quiet, what are you doing to create your ideal future? I know I haven’t had much to say lately, but I think it’s time to confirm with you some of what’s happening.
I left Taos last July to do a corporate project in my old home town, Houston. The project ended in December, and I knew I didn’t want to spend the winter in Taos this year. And, I was right. There has been so much snow there, it’s crazy, and still it’s coming down.
So, I migrated to Florida, like all the other snow birds. I visited with my brother who is waiting for a second heart transplant, and my oldest brother and his wife were there for Christmas. A nice family gathering. Then after the beginning of the year, I spent some time on the beach, but it was too cold, so I ended up staying with my sister-in-law in Arcadia, Florida. It has been really nice to reconnect with her and get to know her as adults.
Arcadia is a sleepy little town with little to do except surf the web at The Last Chapter bookstore and cafe. That’s now my base of operations as my sister-in-law has dial-up. How last century is that. But it gets me out of the house, and that’s a good thing.
In the midst of all this, while I was in Houston, I put back on all the weight I lost in Taos. It just piled on overnight. I couldn’t believe it, but I was left to face it and deal with it. I knew it was partially emotional, and I was retaining a lot of water. I went back to basics of communicating with my body and asking what it needs.
My first experience with using that technique was in my 20s when I had terrible acne. One day, at the Chapel of Prayer, someone said, you know you can communicate with your skin and ask what it needs to heal that. But the catch is, no matter how strange it seems to your mind, you have to honor what you get.
Wow, what a concept. I decided to try it. I meditated and asked what would make my skin better. To my surprise, I heard an answer in my head, one I would not have thought of. 1. Stop using makeup base. (That was the hardest thing for me.) 2. Wash my face daily with an amino based cleanser. (I used Redkins Aminopon bar.) 3. Use a face oil that is natural and organic. (Oil on my oily skin? Yes, it breaks up the oil in the pores and flushes them out. I used and still use Apricot Kernel oil.) In about a year, I was getting compliments on my beautiful skin. I could hardly believe it, but it taught me that communication with my body is possible and necessary.
So, meanwhile back to now. Finding it difficult to stay focused on a meditation, I decided to dowse or muscle test for what my body needed. I went to the health food store and tested every supplement there and bought everything that tested positive, about 20 items, including green tea capsules for water release and fat burning.
Easy muscle testing technique: left hand: make a circle with your thumb and first finger. right hand: press the thumb and first finger flat together and insert them into the left hand circle. Push outward with the inside finger and thumb and try to open the circle. Set the intention that if the circle holds strong, it’s a yes. If the circle breaks open, it’s a no. Then ask your body questions, or anything you want from your subconscious mind. Set the intention that only truthful answers be received. Try it. It’s easy.
I also muscle tested myself for food items at the grocery store and muscle tested for exercises. It has been about a month since I began that regimen, and I have definitely lost some belly fat and feel much better. I’m no longer bloated with water, and my blood pressure is being controlled naturally now.
Interestingly, many of the things I would normally eat and do to lose weight were not the same things my body needed right now. I feel like I have reclaimed my body, and I appreciate how responsive it is to my dialogue with it.
You would think we would know better what our bodies need, but we are socialized, confused by the media, marketed to by product and food vendors, and emotionally addicted to childhood comfort foods.
So, I write all this to remind you that you are in charge of your health, nutrition and well being. Don’t get confused by what everybody else thinks is the latest and greatest thing. Follow your own guidance, and you’ll find your body to be a willing participant.
And on that subject, I see so many people getting caught up in other people’s projects when they don’t even want to do them. This is the time to just say no to what you don’t want in your life and focus your time and attention on creating a life that includes what you do want. Keep in mind that if it seems like nothing is happening, so much can be going on in the causal plane that your energy is all being turned inside for creating.
It doesn’t matter that people say this is a bad time to start a business, or that the economy is terrible or whatever they’re saying that discourages you. Don’t listen. When you follow your own guidance, the most amazing things can happen. I’ve started businesses with no money, no experience and no idea what I was doing except I was inspired. I followed the inspiration, and it served me well. [In-spire – the spirit within, spiraling inward.]
This is a time when Spirit is supporting new projects that are built on joy and love. You can attract whatever you need for your highest and best good. Believe it. It’s true.
What are you waiting for? Get started. Go on. Get started. Go now. Bye bye, see ya on the causal plane. We’ll party together, and I’ll look great in my thin healthy vibrant body.
