Signs

Let's talk about signs. It's all I ever see are signs. Last night, I shared with the abundance class how I've been putting off finishing my book proposal because I've said to myself, "there's no time right now." It's been this way for the past four years. First it was, there's no time because I'm staring my healing practice. Then there was no time because my practice was busy. Then there was no time because I was going through a divorce and moving my business. Then friends were visiting. And a new friend moved in. And the house was upside down. And, and, and.

There's always some excuse to put something off, isn't there?

I'm cutting myself slack because I have been going through enormous changes, and I told myself yesterday, if you don't feel ready to finish the proposal, stop saying you don't have time and just admit you're not ready yet, or the timing isn't right.

So I released the excess pressure, and let it be.

This morning I got an email from a client who recently published a book and wrote a good paragraph to me about why I need to write my book now, and she even gave me the contact info for a "book coach" who helps you with the process, and hopefully in my case, gives me a royal kick in the butt to finish it.

I got the picture, angels.

More signs...

Yesterday, I wrote something in my blog about feeling I was in a beautiful chakra rainbow. On the way to my massage, I got stuck behind a truck moving slower than a snail, and when I decided to stop being impatient and notice what the signage said I saw in big letters: Rainbow. It was the name of the company. Angels had me get stuck behind it so it was extra obvious!

The angels have taught me to notice the details in life. There are so many details, all around us. Are you noticing the little details in your world? They're there, speaking to you, reaching out to you, affirming to you, every day.

Tough Love from Raj the Spirit Guide

My mind was real busy yesterday during my massage. Partly because I hadn't been in so long, my muscles were like sheets of steel. So it hurt. Secondly, once I started to feel the ahhh of the relaxation therapy kicking in, all I could think about was putting the final touch on my home studio so I can share the blissful experience with others, through Reiki.

Every time I experience something wonderful, I'm always thinking of how I can share it with others. How can you keep a great feeling to yourself? I find myself constantly inspired of how to give, and nothing inspires me more than self-care and play.

The massage limbered me up to begin my pilates practice again. It's been a few months, way too long for me to go without this mind/body stress reliever. It was frustrating to feel my body struggling, the muscles obviously weaker than usual. But I felt so much better afterward. With baby steps of just 20 minutes a day, I will work my way back up to feeling strong again. It's so grounding, too. I love exercise, just not so much when I don't do it for a while. It's always the initial work outs that are the most challenging, after that you get into the groove.

Last week, one of my spirit guides, an Indian yogi named Raj, literally yelled at me (with tough love) to start my yoga practice again. He's rail thin, and always appears to me wearing a button down shirt, casual pants, and a turban. He has large, intense brown eyes and looks to be in his twenties, maybe a young looking thirties. He's very serious, especially about yoga and meditation, and I think I must annoy him with my airy nature. But he is great at helping me discipline myself so I can be the best I can be, and feel the best I can feel.

God bless Raj. One must have a lot of patience to be my spirit guide.

New Blog Inspiration

My friend has been an inspiration to blog daily. Thank you, Charlotte.

Since I left my writing career four years ago, I've had this weird relationship with writing. It's almost like I've broken-up with it, neglected our relationship, and now I feel like I have to keep it to a minimum, not get too attached because our relationship has changed now. It's been a source of heartache to me, to leave such a fulfilling source of expression. So I've let writing know that I want to get back together and mend our relationship, so we're working regularly again together.

I've got to do this if I ever want to finish this freakin' book proposal.

So I've decided I'll be online journaling here more often and hopefully not boring you to pieces in the process.

Yesterday was one of those hell-on-wheels sort of days where everything feels crap. But today was like waking up in a Disney movie. Everything felt calm and magical again. The dark cloud of stress passed, leaving a chakra rainbow behind for me.

The angels are always on me about self-care. I need to practice what I teach because if I don't, I'm a stress case in my personal life. When it comes to work (readings, healing, teaching) there is this energetic bubble I'm placed in so no matter what is going on personally for me, I'm transported to heaven for that time and high on positive vibes. It's quite incredible, actually, and a real blessing that the angels provide this for me and my clients so our sessions are always high vibration. This healing bubble gives me an energetic adjustment so I receive peace and healing, too.

So today I'm going for a much-needed massage with a new therapist. My old one left. Sad about this because she was my reflexology teacher and was a great healer. Some people are natural born healers, and others just don't have their heart in it. I can always feel the difference.

I'm sending distant Reiki to my appointment time, and affirming the experience will be deeply relaxing, and just what I need. Then, with this spa feeling uplifting me, I will channel the angels message for tonight's abundance class. Really looking forward to hearing what everyone's experience has been last week. The shifts are incredible, and I'm really proud of this class. They're inspiring me.

Stress Overload

For a while, my life was what I've now learned is normal, or should be normal. It was calm, with time to meditate and exercise in the morning. Everything felt within balance, and I had a clear mind.

This past year has been insane with changes, and I've felt knocked off my balance. It made me remember what life used to be like in the old pattern of stress, stress, stress, go, go, go. Today I got a killer migraine, something that's very rare for me. I think it's my second I've ever had in my life. I literally felt "TMI" too much information surging through my head, an awful congestion of energy that felt like my skull would pop off like a firework at any minute.

Thank God for these homeopathic tablets that put an end to that.

It got me thinking, I learned that life doesn't have to be that way, and I've got tools to chill out and re-balance, but there are millions of people in the world who think that having constant migraines and feeling completely overwhelmed is normal. There's this whole culture out there who believe this is just the way life is, and you "puke out the stress, and the pain goes away" as a medical assistant told me today.

Is this a philosophy to live by? Puking out stress is just as routine as putting gas in the car?

I'm re-building a life right now, so I'm a busy bird. The sensitivities I have are great for healing, but when it comes to things like a move and boxes and crap everywhere, or things majorly out of order, stuff like that, my whole system goes on meltdown after a boiling point of tolerance is reached. I've found myself in tears a few times, and even screamed in the car today. But I don't think I'm the first person in L.A. traffic to do that.

I know the stress has got to get out, so I let it come out. If people are walking around with this amount of busy energy in their heads, and no time to rest or be in quiet time, no wonder they're having a hard time hearing their angels or listening to their intuition. No wonder people feel blocked or have aches or pains. No wonder they feel so miserable and depressed. If I thought this was all life was about, constant stress and no time for play or self-care, or to connect to the divine, I'd be first on line for a Prozac IV!

Stress is deafening. It's numbing. It imprisons the soul and creates the illusion that there's no time, you have to do this or that or it won't get done. Everything will fall apart unless you....

Stop.

Why I'm Activating My Abundance in a Big Way and Want You To Join Me!

I'm getting ready to activate my abundance with you starting next Thursday, August 6th. I'm excited to see how shifting consciousness affects all the members in our group, who are joining us via the Heaven Healing Arts conference phone line.

So why am I hosting these weekly financial healing sessions? Because the fear of lack is so strong out there, I want to create a source of continual support to help you stay connected to the higher mind that knows wealth can be created easily and joyfully, regardless of what kind of economy we're living in.

I'm also ready to heal my own pattern with money that is way outgrown. My story is a riches to rags tale that has taught me invaluable lessons about creating lasting wealth.

When I was just a few years old my father became a millionaire. We moved from the city to a beautiful suburb in Nassau County where celebs like Jennifer Lopez now have homes. We lived on nine acres of land where it wasn't unusual to see a fox or peacock padding through the trees. The house I grew up in was massive with six bedrooms and a room for the housekeeper, who was also my nanny. I attended an elite private school with kids from the some of the richest families in the world. "Blue blood" families whose wealth went back centuries.

As a child being raised among the rich, it was all I knew. Having your own airplane, horse, and elevator in your home was normal in the world I lived in. While I enjoyed some of the perks of being a rich kid, I really lived in two worlds. At school and with friends, I was wealthy. At home, I felt bad asking for the lacrosse stick I needed for school games because my parents fought about money constantly. Not having it, that is.

Unlike the blue bloods, all this wealth was new to my parents who came from humble backgrounds. And they had no idea how to manage it all. So while I lived among the rich, at home I didn't feel wealthy. The mismanagement of family finances led to my parents being constantly stressed and arguing. They had the belief that money would make them happy, and the effects for them was quite the opposite because there wasn't a healthy foundation to build that wealth upon.

My parents ended up losing everything. Millions of dollars, the family home and business. My life changed drastically when I was in high school. I started work at the local bookstore to earn money to support myself since my parents split and were unable to care for me. I found working liberating. I was born into a family of entrepreneurs, generations of business owners who followed their passion and it paid off. So I naturally did the same.

It became clear early on that I was a natural manifester. I've amazed my mother, who after 35 years of seeing me create everything I've wanted, says she never doubts I will accomplish what I set my mind to. The miracles she's witnessed in my life have quieted her ego that used to only see what was, not what was possible.

Like me being accepted to my choice private college when my SAT scores stunk. When I started the first literary magazine at my college, teachers told me it would never sell, students wouldn't pay for it. The last copy sold out in 2 days. When I was just 21 years old, I established my own print magazine in New York City. I hired interns from Columbia and NYU and single-handedly built a business that had copies in every store uptown, cross town, downtown. They started to sell out like mad. Record and cosmetic companies sent me their products to review. I even got a call from Good Morning America to talk about the magazine on their show, but I shied out. Kicking myself now!

The word "no" has never been in my vocabulary. The only truth I've ever known is that if you have a vision, and you have love and passion for what you want, then it will be. If you are surrounded by positive people and have integrity, it will last. Oh yeah, and my biggest lesson of all: you need to be healthy, too!

So what stopped me from manifesting further? I got sick. A disease would temporarily clip my wings of success in many ways - I felt I could only fly so far.

Still, whatever job I wanted, I was hired for. I didn't set my sights too high with my health being poor, but I was still creating the outer life that I wanted. Without spending time healing my inner life, my health eventually stopped me from manifesting in the material and forced me to learn how to create from within.

Learning how to create health was more powerful to me than manifesting into the physical. That part always seemed easy. One of my major life lessons has been learning how to merge the physical and spiritual aspects of life so wealth has a strong foundation to be built on. I want lasting, not fleeting wealth in my life. And I want lasting, not fleeting health. The two come from the same source of abundance and cannot be separated. One cannot be enjoyed without the other.

I have lots of stories to share of how I've manifested things down to the detail. I was using a vision board long before The Secret was written. It started with my school planner in 10th grade. I would glue photos of things I wanted on the cover so I would look at them every day and motivate myself to do well. No one ever taught me this. I didn't know any other students who did this. It was natural to me. It was fun.

In these last four years, I've manifested some amazing things in the material world, the most rewarding being a wonderful healing practice. But this time, instead of a dysfunctional family or a disease, it was a relationship that would temporarily hold my wings shut again. I married someone who did not know how to manifest, and who was scared of receiving abundance. The result was, just like my parents, I took a big financial hit and lost some material dreams I had created.

So here's the experiment. I'm going to review and take weekly steps to actively manifest my way out of this old reality in 10 weeks starting next Thursday. You're invited to join this abundance experiment with me. We're going to experience this process together and share feedback every week of how it's working for us. I'll also help you with the added benefit I've got: being a clairvoyant and hearing the angels guidance loud and clear. The last half hour, I'll answer any questions you have related to healing fears about receiving the wealth you know you can create!

There's nothing stopping me this time from enjoying lasting wealth. What's stopping you?

Let's find out and move past it! Click here to register for this exciting weekly opportunity starting Thursday, August 6th at 7 p.m.

Me? A Pageant Mother? Maybe Just This Once...

I wrote in an earlier post that when I first brought home this four pound dog with me from the shelter, I thought I had made a big mistake. She wouldn't let me touch her. She made crazy gremlin faces and viciously snapped at me if I just tried to get a leash on her.

Well, we've come a long way, Gracie and me. I attuned her to Reiki and treated her daily. I cleared the entities that were attached to her. I gave her flower essences and tough love. I would not let her rule the house as she wanted. I kept her in a crate at night until she proved to me she was ready to be a civil member of our family. I communicated with her as if she were my kid, and she understood every word.

The poor cats were seriously ticked off at me for weeks. They paused and shot me dirty looks as they sauntered down the hallway. I apologized to them and thanked them for their patience with this new rescue!

It's been about four months now and Gracie is a new dog. She is her real self, free of fear, rejection and anger. She exchanges kisses with the cats, she is calm and affectionate, and the most incredible thing is, she's turned out to be a healer. If anyone is upset or cries in her presence, she climbs up their chest and comforts them with kisses, looks at them soulfully, asking what she could do to help. She won't be fooled, though - a friend tried to fake cry because she was so amazed by how this dog reacts, but Gracie knew instantly and gave her this look like, "don't insult me." I grew up with dogs and I've never had one that reacted this way, so tuned into human emotions. Will see if the opportunity ever comes to capture it on film for You Tube.

She's potty trained, patient, playful, has learned the word "toy" and occasionally likes to hump one of my Reiki bears. Okay, that last part is disturbing, and when I catch her she sulks off, embarrassed. She is my best buddy. She has the most loving and fun personality. I love her so much. I bring her everywhere with me.

I'm thinking of entering her in two annual dog contests held in Long Beach this Fall - the Howl'oween costume parade and the Chihuahua Beauty contest.

What should she be for Halloween? I welcome suggestions!

A Spiritual Girl Living in a Material World

Dr. Doreen Virtue said that one Angel Therapy® session could do more for a person than years of therapy. She's a professional psychotherapist.

It's true that angel readings and healing can have a profound effect on someone's life, I've seen it myself through my private practice. I don't provide psychic readings for entertainment or to strictly predict things for people. The angels don't work that way.

The angels want to help people learn and grow. They are honest and straightforward and they know exactly what part of a person's life is imbalanced and in need of healing. If they have permission, the angels will share future oriented details, but they know how free will determines our fate so they are more interested in teaching us how to understand ourselves and others on a deeper level and create positive, healthy outcomes for our lives.

Our sessions are very much like traditional therapy, except the angels do most of the talking! You will soon see that your angels know everything about you and love you just as you are. They know the hurt, pain and confusion you have experienced in your life and want to help you release it and move on. The angels want to remind you how beautiful a soul you are.

Of course a healing session with the angels isn't a replacement for medical care, but it is a valuable resource for alternative therapy and personal development and can have lasting healing effects in a person's life.

I was recently on a wonderful radio show called Tarot Talk and we discussed the somewhat taboo subject of healers getting paid for their work. The host, Raven, pointed out that a mechanic gets paid for his service, and so does a doctor. What makes a healer any different?

Many spiritual healers have innate soul memories of past life work in tribes and churches, when worrying about material needs was not as much of an issue and they could solely focus on giving to others since they were receiving the basics they needed to survive.

Most of today's spiritual healers aren't living in a tribe or a monastery. Even Catholic priests get paid for their services because they have expenses to pay. Receiving financial support for their service to you means they don't have to work several jobs, burning themselves out which will lead to a negative and miserable healer! It takes a lot of energy and self-care to be an effective healer and we need time to recharge.

Many psychotherapists charge $200 an hour and need to see you weekly to make progress. A good healer may charge that same amount for their time, but you don't need to see them weekly. An ethical healer will not allow you to become dependent on them, especially the angels. Their mission is to empower you so you feel prepared and ready to move on, with a little help from your angelic friends.

The value of knowing who your angels are, re-connecting to a loved one in Heaven, understanding how a past life is affecting you, knowing the reason behind a painful experience, or what to ask your doctor regarding a health condition that no one is understanding is priceless.

The spiritual dreamer in me would love to be able to go around helping people as a volunteer and have all of my material needs magically provided to me. But my reality is I'm a single woman who has rent and living expenses to pay and if I didn't charge what I do, then I wouldn't be able to help anybody because I'd be too busy worrying how I'd survive and feeling terribly sad that I'm not able to take care of myself. Plus, there are charities I am eager to start that will help our children immensely, and I need a lot of money to get these things going. I consider every payment I receive a donation to my life's work that will be recycled back to making this world a better place.

I am a spiritual girl living in a material world and I honor the yin and yang of this universal relationship. These lessons of releasing judgment and martyrdom related to spiritual healing and money are important ones for us lightworkers to learn because it's time to merge these two worlds. Nothing is separate in this Universe. As the world begins to take note of the incredible value of spiritual healing, we will soon see generations of people drawn to divine guidance. And we will see a healthier, happier more peaceful planet.

Would you like to receive messages from the angels or your loved ones in Heaven? Visit my website or email me at info@heavenhealingarts.com to schedule an appointment. The angels and I look forward to it!
