Life Lines

Working with the non physical aspects of life creates its own unique work related struggles - my minister peers, therapist friends, fellow counselors in and acquaintances from an array of venues such as astrologers and healers to fellow intuits all tell the same frustration - which I like to describe as this:
all we do is throw them a rope, a life line...and if they grab hold of it great! If not, they continue to be in the challenges of their experiences. And if they choose to reach for this rope, to grab hold of this life line - it is all up to them - our job, our purpose, our work is to caste a life line out upon the waters as clearly, lovingly and kindly as we can; the rest is up to them.


Yes, it is their work. Yes, it is their life. Yes, yes, yes, I cannot do it for them. BUT there are moments when I want to. And just when I admit that, just when I allow my frustration, obviously coming from ego, that a client is not seeing the life line, not grabbing hold....and continues in the muck of their individualized journey to wholeness - I will then receive an email from another client - a client who is so grateful, so appreciative - a client who grabbed the life line, has seen the light and has risen from their own self imposed darkness. Ah, that is excellent!

Hi Deborah,
I would like to share with you about my progress… my anger is HEALED… !!! I am FREE…. I have not yelled since before I saw you last… I am totally done with my anger… there has been opportunities that I would burst with rage and NOTHING… total PEACE… this is a Miracle… !!!! I tell you life is so much better with out anger… I am FREE… !!! Thank you so much for your help… keep up the good work… God is Good… I am devoted to pure LOVE energy for everyone.

Yet, in the back of my heart, is often the memory of the one that got away - the one that I believe I failed. The one who I wonder if I talked loud enough, clear enough, tough enough (sometimes.)

If I sold linens for a living, life would be so simple. I would show you some pretty fabrics, different patterns, compare them to your dishes and voila! You would choose this nice tangible object, buy a dozen and be on your way. Yes, the simple life.......

Emma Curtis Hopkins is my hero. Known as the teacher of teachers in the world of meta-physics. (1849-1925) There are many wonderful aspects of her journey I love to tell, but today's luscious tidbit is that she only taught 12 lessons. She took in students, taught twelve lessons in twelve weeks and kicked you out on your tushes to go live them. She really didn't want to hear from you again - she wanted you to live them!

Being an empath and multi sensory intuitive, I feel so very much for my beloveds that I make myself tres available for their journeys. I am learning. I am in the midst of redefining my work - or I should say, Spirit is in the midst of showing me some new definitions! I sometimes toss you so many lifelines at once, I think it may be difficult to decide which one to choose. But part of my charm(?*&^%$^)(many would not use that word!) - is that I do offer you multi scenarios to work through your experience, in order to embody the Truth of Love which is all our cores.

Gotta love Emma, twelve lessons, then out the door. But that is not me. However, my goal is for you to get it, then go live it. Right now, me is here, here is a banquet table and it is up to YOU to choose. I can teach you the Laws, I will hear what Spirit wants you to know, read the energy of your present situation and I will offer you how I see the Law working in your life so you may make a conscious choice to choose differently. In the end, twelve weeks or not, it is all up to you. No one can do it for you. No matter if it is your deceased Mother coming through and giving you a message or you feel the quickening of Holy Spirit through a moment of prayer or you have angels and other hands on you during a table session and are so blown away by the nonphysical-miraculous-woo-woo like experiences - it is what you DO, what you CREATE through all the experiences which matters. (I should say right now, what I do is a science, based on Law, energy and faith - it is not woo-woo, but sometimes, the term fits for the yet inexperienced. I have great respect for my work and for this work I am called to initiate. I am in all-ways devoted to the work, to this holy purpose.)

Even if I did sell linens - you might not like them when you got them home and would want to return them in a week anyway. At least you cannot return what I offer you, but you are in charge and can refuse to receive it.

So, I will joyfully and gratefully continue what I do: investigating, opening, allowing, moving energy, teaching, supporting, clearing..........loving.

Thank you to all those who dance with me in this journey, inviting me into their lives to assist their personal awakening. It is my deepest honor and joy to do so. I love you.

Energy Medicine Basics

I have been doing so much teaching of late, and my practice has boomerang-ed into what we sometimes refer to as Turbo Mode -, that I am perfectly drawn to offering information to others on how, why and what; this thing called energy work is. So, hence begins this potential series; ( 2?, 4?, 100? - I have no idea) of blogs in order to fill in any gaps for my students, support my clients and intentionally guide the curious.

I actually have students who come to take energy classes who are surprised they experience pain, discomfort, releasing of any kind - and I am surprised that they are surprised! (I also have students who are in the bathroom half the class and thrilled to be letting go!)......... I often hear: I know we are all energy...but. Or I understand that we are made of our beliefs..but....

Much of embodying this understanding has to be experiential. Another words, you must experience the goodness of the releasing in order to see the benefits of the discomfort. You must have the experience of getting THROUGH to the other side to see the goodness in the process as a whole.

Everything is energy - not everything has energy in it or through it or around it - every.thing - is energy. Every thought, flower, rock, person, hand, toe, idea, table, house, family, mailbox, car, color, animal, bug, tree, food, dish, painting, hallway......you get it, right? EVERY.THING is pure energy. Within every.thing is a center of what we call Divine Perfection. This is the seed of harmony, balance.

Here we are referring to people, souls. As souls, our journeys take us (and we choose the pathes of this taking) into human lifetimes in order to experience relationships to others and other things which will promote us to consciously expand our awareness of Love. Each soul is unique. Not bad, or good or better than: Unique.

Each experience we sign on for in this present lifetime we have chosen from a few factors:

1. What our experiences have been in previous lifetimes - this brings us to a 'jumping off point' on our souls journey as to see what particular scenarios would benefit us more in the next/present lifetime.

2. We make all these choices before we incarnate. We make all these choices from love. We have made all these choices from a deep faith in knowing our faith in God can guide us through. We make these choices knowing what our true home is - not earth - this is school. Home is the non-physical 'heavenly' place where we reside when we are not in human form.

3. We make these choices with the guidance of our fellow souls or pods, our (spirit)guides, angels, the Masters and what is referred to as the Higher Council of Beings.

So, with this knowledge, our souls are made up of past experiences which through our own choice, bring us to this lifetime. Our soul is already vibrating at its own level at its birth. Then, we have experiences which release or add to the vibrational level of the soul. Everything has a vibration. From our human perspective we give it highs and lows and can access its numeroligical level.

Our personalities are what react to the journey, until we consciously seek a spiritual path and then we can see through our souls eyes which true to its nature will elevate our individual vibration.

Our individual vibrations are made up of our beliefs, which are fed through our repeated thoughts, which are fed through what we choose to look at, pay attention to, talk about,listen to, watch, read; etc.

Think of yourself as a garden. Whatever you pay attention to will grow in your garden. Whatever you pay attention to will plant itself in your personal grid pattern. And it will grow of its on true nature. A small ugly little fear based thought can become an idea, can be thought about often, contemplated and read about and become a belief. Then it is in your vibration and given its emotional vibration, has the potential to grow into a physical ailment in order to get noticed.

When one experiences a high level of vibrational energy work, depending on how deep the roots are in your personal garden; this will be reflected in the releasing process.

In working with wounds from ones childhood, the releasing process can be more dramatic and palpable than if we are working on a recent wound from a recent relationship. If one has had several relationships with repeated scenes just different players; the wound is old and deep. In an old and deep wound, after having an energy session, you may feel your body speaking to you. Your bodys wisdom is immense and everyones life would be more graceful if we would listen more and act with more integrity and respect to our bodys divinty.

Remember, its a garden. What happens to a garden when you let the weeds go and do not weed? They take over the garden. Your negative thoughts and refusal to look at your own work will do the same.

Sometimes we need to weed periodcally, no matter how beautiful the garden - and sometimes we need to till everything under and begin again!

Last night I had a session, as a client, with a beloved practitioner I trust with my life. I have been processing a deeply planted issue from lifetimes and prevelant in this particular childhood. During the session I had two episodes of discomfort and breathed through them both and in my mind I was saying GOOD! - GO! - I am done with you. I came home and felt like I had been kicked down the sidelines to the goal. I went to bed in a zombie like haze and slept, actually overslept. I felt nauseous all night. My solar plexis hurt. And just now, over twelve hours since my appointment, I am coming around. I am honoring the process, the work. I am honoring that God and my soul know how to heal, what to do and what needs to be done. I have complete faith in this process. I am going to get THROUGH this ugly little kernal of lack and when I am totally through to the other side, having met this belief in the face, shined light on it and kicked its butt; watch out! -I will be brighter than ever.

And that is how I want all my clients and students to feel - I want your experiences and everyone who is dealing with your own growth through acts of faith to KNOW that going through is the only mindful option. To stuff it makes for a really ugly garden, an unhealthy foundation for the next time around. Keep weeding. Keep planting love. Keep nurturing and watering your gardens with Gods love and your faith in the Universal Abundance of All.

And above all; do not get discouraged - you chose this. You know how to do this. You listen, you act. You make choices. Nothing is against you. Your challanges are FOR you - to meet in love, not fear.

Energy medicine healing is the deepest form of healing I know. With an excellent practictioner and the one who is right for you, you can release your weeds, your baggage, your sutff and let it go! You can then fly - feel freedom - and love freely.

Your journey is already blessed by God and all your non-physical guides.

with love, Deborah
