Shaping Thy Spirit | The Journey to Know Thy Self

We live in a time where the trauma and the brokenness of our generational past affect our current state of being.  Each of us has to heal for ourselves to connect all that have come before us to bring the harmony back to our world.  Since I was a small child I have seen this journey in my mind’s eye clear as day... 

 

MY PERSONAL JOURNEY:

My personal journey has been full since the beginning of my life.  I have seen the world differently than most and have felt a separation from the experiences of others.  My vision has always been beyond the surface of life and riddled with much depth and meaning.  I entered this world in the magical time of the sixties.  This was a time just beyond the ‘American pie’ of the fifties and before the full fledge ‘hippy love’ rebellion of Vietnam Era.  The world was enough naive not to see the darkness looming in the distance, yet still tied to the vision that we need to have the perfect life to be happy.

My family was representative of the broken time that was getting ready to erupt.  One side of the family was old royalty thrown in the new world lost in the generation woes of the fallen south.  The other side was from the broken north filled with bankers and oil men confused about their monetary gains and the meaning of true happiness.

My parents met in college with the freshness of escaping the unsettling youth that left much in a dark fog.  The times presented so much hope and happiness.  Through the new marriage, young family and moving forward with the typical family life of the current times, our world erupted into complete devastation with no survivors being left untouched.  The family divided and never moved beyond the dysfunction that confronted their position in life.

Everyone went their own ways and no one remained in any real contact.

 

New Beginnings | Sink or swim in the brave new world

My world was reflective of the times and went from the perfect little family with so much promise of the fifties to one of devastation confronting the seventies.  I was two.  My intellectual professional parents with advanced degrees where just as lost as I was and thrown into turbulent times of the Vietnam era.  Each of us journeyed solo to find our way in the darkness. 

We moved from the great union of Texas to the independent California (you wonder why I am so strong minded in my position).  My mother went from the fifties stay at home mom with a teaching degree to obtained a PhD in psychology to understand herself and the life she saw.

By the time I was in third grade I wrote a paper on the three jobs my mother had: a private practice psychoanalytic psychotherapist, chief of psychology at a local psychiatric hospital and a fellow doing research through a high powered organization.

This success affected my raising in a variety of ways.  We moved from a small apartment of a grad student to a house in Beverly Hills.   Our life became filled with the glitz and glimmer of the California.  We were living in the top of what this world had to offer with some of the finest homes and lifestyles available. My mother was always focused on the best schooling and setting us up socially into the right communities.   We were not the mega rich, but we were well off enough to feel the atmosphere of kids racing their parents Rolls Royce’s through Sunset Hills and all the other benefits (or curses) of the 90210 address.

The problem is the flip side to the superficial life we were living.  Many that drove those roads sold their soul to live and be in this station in life.  The shadow was very close to the surface. The plastic surgery and money could only cover up the empty darkness that filled so much of the life.  The cars, the clothes and the drugs had to get bigger and faster to keep the wasteland at bay.

This is no place to raise a family, in my personal opinion.  There is just too much working against you. Though I admit many of my friends have created wonderful lives and have wonderful families. Los Angeles is the City of Angels. This city is one that needs all the angels we could find just to survive.

From an early age, life did not look right to me.  So much did not make sense.  I was a big picture person with the mind to put all the little pieces together.  Things did not add up. 

With a professional working mother, I was left home with my little brother and the world to explore.  We actually had a grand time as Beverly Hills latch-key kids.  The world was ours to conquer, and mostly we were left to our own devices to find our way.  By living the life of privilege, we truly did not have horrible things to confront on the surface of life.  We had a nice home filled with many nice things.  We ate 'out' most days since my mother worked, and we had housekeepers that kept the house and watched over us (to some extent). 

I look back on my school age time with many fond memories.  My mother filled her roll of ‘quality of time’ as a parent. She took on many jobs to be the 'good parent' to include girl scout leader, cub mistress of Beverly Hills, soccer and little league mom and horse show mom.  We were involved in every possible activity after school and during the summer.

 

THE SHADOW | Coming to terms with the dark side of life

The difference is that there was a dark side to our life.  Mom, who is my hero, was raised in the south where strong women that were taken care of by their men.  We had no man in our life, so she was left to fend on her own and play both roles of mother and father.  

Looking back, I would say we were taken advantage of by the feeding frenzy of ravenous wolves.  Somehow with all the good intentions, we walked right in the middle of a den of thieves. The one thing I learned was that no matter how tough a situation gets you always stand for right evenwhen the darkness is so great survival seems dim. 
 
I grew up in Los Angeles during the seventies and the eighties.  I would not say this was the best era to raise children.  I believe the back lash from the fifties and sixties led into the craziness of these times. Life was like a roller coaster.

During my childhood, my mother was groomed for some high powered spots within her chosen profession.  I only have limited information that I personally knew and even less that I will share with you, but I do intend to make specific points to paint a picture of my personal experience. 

I was living in Beverly Hills.  My mother was a ‘shrink’ in a very powerful location in our world.  She was connected with the forefront of many influencing fields.  Her heart was in the best of intentions, but she was compromised time and time again so that others could get ahead. 

I was raised 'to help' those in need. The women of our family have always been healers with a big empathic heart. My mother stood up for the 'forgotten patients' that people just locked away and medicated. She dedicated her path for the greater good.

Time and time again, she started a project with good intentions only to find out about the compromises that were happening for the 'so called good.' As soon as she realized anything that was wrong, she would immediately try to correct the situation. Even with treats she dedicated herself to standing up to anyone and anything that was not doing the right thing.

Only later while doing my research did I realize that all the different encounters that I experienced as a young child fell under the research projects at UCLA that had to do mind control, known as MK Ultra and sanctioned by our government, the shadow government under the guise of the 'greater good.' When I go to google today on disclosed practices 30 years ago from the different whistle blowers or released government documents, I see many names from my childhood.

After turning away from the research community, my mother started working with children of ritual abuse.  She was going to court to try to get their abuse to stop.  She did everything in her being to protect these little children that were being sexually sacrificed and the mothers that were powerless to protect them. Again, when I did my research years later, I understood the devastation my mother faced trying to stop an outrageous situation that was impossible to conquer. Once again the big arms of MK Ultra was too far reaching.

When I was a child, my mother's work took her to areas that were reached by the long arm of the shadow government. These times were near impossible for our family to endure. We were personally attacked with the current research being used: poisons like organophosphates; directed energy later known as electromagnetic frequencies EMFs that have devastating effects on the human body; terrorism through different mind control techniques; manipulations of different test subjects that were pushed to breaking thresholds destroying families all around us.

Each time we went too far down a rabbit hole and ruffled feathers, we were attacked and pushed back to a weaker postion. We had to radically change our lives to survive.  During my childhood, we had body guards, and large attack dogs to protect us. We had pick up and remake our lives to keep the attacks at bay. The police knew about the abuses, but there were limited stalking laws in LA at the time. Basically there was not much we could do but disappear and start over again and again.

Over the years my mother ran a variety of psychiatric hospitals. Each one seemed to have its share of ritual abuse and mind control experiments. Somehow these practices were considered acceptable and normal. I found this to be completely unbelievable. How could so many people be involved, and basically 'go along' with the program without giving it a second thought?

I saw my mother spending her whole career coming up against really bad guys and all their deep strings across the professional world. Our family had to deal with the backlash of all the abuse, terror, mind control and physical harm that was imposed on us over the years.

Being the eldest, I would I spent hours trying to help my mother figure out what was going on, who was doing what and why. Our goal was to try to navigate the situation and figure out how we could protect ourselves from the abuse.  In the public, no one believed anything we said. We were either considered batty as hell or we somehow held up the illusion of a normal Californian life.

Every time we fell down the rabbit hole and looked around, again, we would find a way to climb back out. Who knew there were so many rabbit holes!

At this point I was attending a California University (preMed), my mother became ill. She had a mix of symptoms and no one seemed to be addressing the real issues. The doctors would find one thing or another. They would try to lump everything into that specific category and just dismiss the rest of the symptoms that did not 'fit' their diagnosis as some ... emotional phantom illness. Deemed crazy again!

This was not acceptable in my mind, so I ended up being the go between with many experts that did not agree on what were the causes of her symptoms. The experts of one specialty could not stretch outside their knowledge base to deal with health issues that they had no firsthand knowledge. My mother at one point was denied oxygen because they did not understand her other health concerns.

Since the doctors could not get to the bottom of her health issues, I ended up putting together a list of all her symptoms. I went over to the 'stacks' of UCLA Medical Library and spent two weeks researching every possible symptom and came up with a list of 5 pretty bad scenarios. One by one we had her tested.

We finally found a solution, but still had problems dealing with all the experts.

Back then when my mother was in the hospital, we discovered that there was a great need for a service to help the common man navigate hardship to find the solutions they needed in time of crisis. Personally I knew how much energy it took to kick into overdrive to care for my mother, research all possible solutions, deal with medical politics and keep from falling apart. This was near impossible to handle while dealing with any crisis.

During this time the radiation experiments on infants were recently disclosed by our government.  The experiments were done on children during the mid and late fifties without disclosing the true purpose while telling parents the radiation was needed medical intervention.  I was horrified that our government would support testing on little babies to see what would happen. Again, here are more government experiments that personally affected my family.

My mother opened a home to treat the ever-rising autistic population for autistics. I helped her develop the idea, put together all the information support the program, open the house to receive patients and work directly with the population. This unique population taught me so much while working with these individuals that were 'walled off' into their own world and had a completely 'different way of being.'

Again, this program was closed due to a patient that might have had some kind of government affiliation. Another uncertain crazy time filled with mayhem, body guards and all kinds of smoke & mirrors.

My life was like a Clancy novel or a current day Dan Brown.  Satanic rituals, break ins, mind games, poisonings, power plays, armed guards, dead animals, bomb threats and electromagnetic weapons that were straight out of a sci-fi movie. Complete craziness filled this time.  Life took all kinds of twists and turns. Nothing made sense and good/bad, truth/lies, illusions/cover-ups were all in the grey zone. There was no way to make heads or tails out of something until the test of time proved the situation one way or another.

All you could do was fasten your seat belt and hold on for the ride.

As a child and through my young adult years, we met with people caught in this conspiracy from one side of the country to the other.  We spent hours upon hours trying to understand who was who and why in the world would they do the things they were doing.

At one point, we flew out to Maryland and met on the floor in a dark apartment with a woman wearing a copper hat starring out the curtain waiting for some unknown attacker.  Later, I found out she was the head in one of the main conspiracy movements and a high level x-government agent. 

Sheets of copper and other anti-electromagnetic devices became part of our life for years on years.  Since western medicine did not have any solutions for the ailments we were encountering from all the abuse, we turned to alternative medicines to purge our bodies of all the toxic substances that were put into our systems against our knowledge and against our will. 

Later, I went to Washington DC with my mother and met with the head organization to discuss the ‘happenings’ in LA.  He confirmed that this group in LA existed and many more like them around our country.  He told us that these people have great power, meaning GREAT power. He basically said there was nothingto be done. Their power was too far reaching and too deep to do affect all the abuses that were occurring around our country and to its citizens. 

I kept saying, "There is NOTHING that can be done to stop these people and what they are doing??!?!"  I had lived through the crazy chess match of these insane professionals that were pulling the strings of all these puppets that followed their orders blindly. I personally saw and experienced mayhem that I wished on no one.

He told me directly, "NOTHING…" He continued, "..until … UNTIL EVERY PERSON marches onto their court house steps and says NO MORE! STOP! WE WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANY MORE! "

He continued, "This will continue until everyone unites. Until we start working together, NONE of us individually have the power to stop it!" 

I was blown away. How could this be true? I thought that once the 'powers that be' knew what was going on and saw how wrong it was, things would be stopped. Not so... I was shocked.

This all happened before I turned twenty.  I was raised with a front seat of what our government, the American government, the dark side of our government, the shadow government was capable.  The experts across our country were used for their gifts to test unsuspecting citizens for unknown gains. There were many agendas and many costs to reach their unknown ends.

This proved to me that basically there was no regard for the value of human life.  People were expendable like lab rats. People that did not fall in line were disposed of without a second thought.  Fake programs were created to push unknown agendas.  One faction turned on another just to produce specific results.  There were no rhymes or reason to anything in this world.  It was dark and everything was done in the shadows.

Somehow I was supposed to smile and continue living in the real world.  I started seriously questioning what was truly real in this world.  Why the hell we are here and what power do we have to do anything to combat what I just lived through? 

I have been asked time and time again, how I did not get sucked into all the craziness. Why did I not become a victim of ritual abuse? The stories are out there. I know friends that disappeared forever.   People say I must be very lucky.  I believe that I have a 'seal of protection' through my dedication to not accept the illusion. By looking beyond the surface at every situation I encounter, I believe my intentions and action truly saved my life.  I know that I have a great power, energetic vibrational frequency that when it is turned on is awesome and gives me a great ability to navigate a situation.  When I turn it off, I become almost invisible.  Depending on my time in life, this ability to control my energy has served me well.

Another system failure here in this country was our legal system. My father left when I was young. No one dealth well with this situation and everyone suffered from it. My mother finally went to court after seventeen years to stand up before the court to ask that my father be held responsible for his role as father. The process was not about money but what was right.

When we went to court, she was standing up for a father to take responsibility for his children. The court's response was thrown out of court on a technicality and later a minimal amount was required over a time. The system never right the wrong of a fatherless childhood. It's a lose, lose, no matter how you looked at the situation. Again, this government system was not working for the best interest of the child, the parents and what was right. Instead the focus in on what could be legally achieved. Life continued.

 

Growing Up | The pains of challenging and defining the world

At some point, I was done with LA.  My brother had been overseas and just returned.  I decided to move East (within the states, not the Far East).  Why East?

 

Shaping My Spirit

Let me back track for a moment, when I was growing up, we went on a 10-day pack mule trip into the mountains on horseback.  This experience changed our lives forever.  We didn’t know until we came back from the trip that we were the first woman and children that had ever been on this particular adventure with this outfit.  Actually it was amazing we survived being a bunch of city folks completely unprepared for this way of life.  We had a horse fall off a cliff to her death (which we cried for hours upon hours). We fired the cook after the first day since he wouldn't get out of his tent to cook! The head cowboy was at least in his eighties, and we didnt know if he would survive (kids minds your know!). We had blizzards and other acts of nature. This country was completely isolated with people that have lived in the back country for months upon months (or maybe even years).

This was living at the will of nature. The one thing was this trip was real: life and death. You could feel it.  We had to work with nature to survive.  The cold was cold, and the beauty was crisp and clear.  Fear was part of the reality, but it was a real fear with a sense of balance to it. The work to survive made us appreciate the good moments in life even more.  It was GREAT. Life finally made sense. If you didn't keep warm, you were cold. If you stepped too close to the cliff, you fell off and died.  

I was eleven, and we were in the middle of a quiet time in my life. 

This trip entailed riding horses up to Kings Canyon outside of Yosemite.  We had the lead cowboy (a billion years old), a cook, another guest and the three of us. The plan was a 12-hour ride every day for 10 days.  We got to the first camp site and mom changed the plan.  After 12 hours of riding, she declared that was our base camp. Dailey, we (not necessarily her) would take rides out and back to base.  The time was amazing.  We were outback living the old life under the stars in the back woods of nature.  The trip changed our lives. 

The next Christmas, the lead cowboy brought us to our surprise, two cow ponies (actually horses) with all the tack and everything we needed. We kept them in the Hollywood Hills about 45 minutes from our house. We spent the next two years riding the canyons and going on adventures. Life was like living in the old west. Horses brought a sense of calm, a sense of normalcy and helped us just be kids. We couldn't wait to jump on the bus, climb the hill and be at the western rental riding stables located at the bottom of the Hollywood Sign. We loved our time there.

Later we went to riding camp in the country and moved over to a proper English riding school in Topanga Canyon, and then to a private farm in Hidden Hills.  The next twenty years of my life was filled with horses. I trained for Three-Day Eventing (Dressage, Cross Country/Endurance, Show Jumping - the old calvary training) with competitions monthly. I went to the Continental Young Riders (Junior Olympics) in British Columbia as the youngest rider. I always dreamed of going East to train with Olympians.

I can say that the competition schedule allowed me to understand the dynamics between nutrition, exercise and performance. Each horse had a unique combination of requirements to allow them to operate at peak performance. Each horse had to different supplements depending on the season or the current physical concern. We continuously did bran mashes and other types of resources to keep their systems running smoothly. Working with a healthy and happy horse truly made all the difference in the world.

I remember thinking that my horses eat well and I wish we spent as much time taking care of our systems as humans. Actually, in the spring when we fed the horses flax seed to help shed their winter coats, I use to eat them by the fist full!

Who knew all of that would set me up years later to be able to navigate our supershakes and all the different combinations of whole foods, seeds, herbs and other natural earthen ingredients to maintain our family's health.

The horses saved my soul, literally.  My life changed, and I actually learned how to truly live!  I found myself and my natural way to exist in this world.  I had a intuitive ability of 'horse whisperering' before the term was popularized by the book/movie. I rode from an intuitive/energetic connection that goes beyond any intellectual understanding about mastering riding a horse. I called this experience 'shaping thy spirit.' Later this became my website ShapingThySpirit.com. 

My goal was not to break the horse's spirit.  My focus was to shape their spirit.  I wanted to keep their spirit fully intact, not broken and submissive.  I wanted to build a relationship based on trust by working together, not on pure dominance.  This gave me the foundation in life to understand what really worked and what did not. Power and control ultimately never truly worked. Losing control and becoming angry failed every time. Love, compassion and trust did work. Now this means doing your homework and spending time, but in the end it was worth all the effort.

Life was not about 'quality of time,' but seriously the quantity and consistency of time. Seeing the big picture and making sure all the little pieces fitted together in the right way. Creating a strong foundation, connecting all the pieces, spending the time to develop true trust and understanding, creating healthy boundaries, and being firm yet loving. Over time intuitively knowing which battles to fight or let go, was vital to trying working with the natural way of a horse. This allowed the brilliance shine through into this world. By using our wholeness, we are able to bring forth such splendor.

A horse is pure in energy and reflects the energy we hold.  A horse is also a great teacher.  Like a mirror, a horse allows us to see our own reflection. Later as an adult, I ended up going into helping horses with 'people problems.'   I would 'fix' the problem and then send the horse back to the owner. The problem returned every time. So over time, I realized that working with the owner was just as vital as working with the horse.

The true connection between horse and rider made all the difference. The foundation was the healthy horse and a healthy rider. When the rider was toxic (had unresolved issues and resistance), the rider could not communicate to the horse well, and the horse would become toxic. By fixing the horses toxicity , a clear foundation was laid. Then if the rider's toxicity was not solved, the horse's toxicity returned. Only when the two in conjunction was cleared and an open flow of energy between them could there be success and completion in my so called 'job.'

 

Military & Medical System

So as a young adult, I moved East to Virginia. Since I was eleven years old, I had read the Chronicle of the Horse located in Middleburg that told tales of the horses in the ole' Virginia country.  I had family in Northern Virginia who was a retired military.  Also, I needed to return to my studies. I had high hopes that living with my family would provide the stable environment in which I could thrive. I wanted to focus on finishing school and finding a strong footing in this world.

I was deluded.  After leaving the world of mind control in LA, I now entered the world of the military industrial complex.  You thought the world of mind control was crazy.  I learned the hard way that our state capital and the whole government was not the place, the ideal of our American Way of life, that each of us were raised to believe. 

Our government of the people, by the people and for the people is not true. DC was another grey zone. This place was built on secrets upon secrets. Truth was so blurred and hidden with no way to discover what was real. Each agenda had rational reasons for all that was happening. Life was justifiable. I was living in another crazy world that was not to be trusted. I spent years trying to jump the hoops and understand how to play this game. Life was a never ending cycle of slippery shadows.

One of my abilities is to see the world from a very broad perspective.  I can fit into someone life and experience their position, and then move into another and understand theirs.  It’s a wonderful gift. I tried and tried again to figure out what was going on. I kept coming up with things that never made any real sense.

I began dating a military family friend's son who was a surgeon. Here we go with another great profession, the American health care system.  I had planned on going into medicine and had been preMed for two years.  I am a healer and wanted to help children. For my whole life, my heart went out to those being abused and neglected. My concerns regarding modern day beliefs about children, raising children, what we were teaching children and how we cared for children set alarms off in my soul.

Though I was dedicated to becoming a doctor, time and time again doctor after doctor told me do not go down that path. They claimed the health industry had lost its way.  Medicine was not about healing any longer. Many claimed the politics of the health industry would ultimately kill my spirit. 

The next few years was a time involved with military system and medical professionals.  I had grown up around psychologist and psychiatrist, but this was a different ball game.  All I can say is that I was thankful when my life finally took me a different direction. 

The military and the medical fields are riddled with a complicated path to navigate. At the core was particular agenda's that supported those pushing the agenda, not about what is best for the wellbeing of anyone. The people I met believed they were doing the right thing and they were good people, just so misguided. How they saw the world and the way they went about getting what they desired created so many serious problems, that in my belief, could have been accomplished more easily we better results. Once again, things did not add up.  The big system kept squeaking along.

There are some amazing people trying to do some amazing things in this world, but there are some really bad folks working just as hard to destroy life as we know it.  There are many in between just trying to live life and do the right thing. They do not see, know or understand all the dark sides of life.

 

Crashing and Burning

Bottom line, finally when I ended my involvement with the medical or the military worlds, I was personally devastated by the destructive nature I had experienced.   I was destroyed, and I needed time to heal.  I used western medicine, rest and time to heal myself. The short of it was that I ended up getting married to someone whose heart went out to my life and my situation. I needed a safe place to find myself again. My husband at the time helped heal me. The problem was that when I was back to myself again, we were not able to work out a relationship.

My soul had been depleted from all the hardships I had faced so far in my life. By that point, my horses had been sold and I was not longer riding.  I physically was strong and my spirit was trying to find its way, but I literally was at the end of my rope.  I knew that my life had to radically change, or I would be gone from this world. 

I made the choice to leave my husband and returned to a life with horses to rediscover my soul.  I dedicated to working with an Olympian and hoped to go to the World Games and adventure around Europe. When the trip did not materialize, I moved south to North Carolina to start my own business working with horses, training and fox hunting.

Slowly I rebuilt my wellbeing, and this time my complete wellbeing. I was physically, emotionally and spiritually strong. My energy was soaring.  I still did not have a strong foundation in my life, but at least I knew myself again.  For a time, I actually thrived very well. I spent the next few years working with animals and people full time to re-establish my connectedness in this world. I learned to work out balanced relationship and how to navigate the most complicated relationship issues.

I started working on fixing the horse, and then working with the rider to resolve the issues they were experiencing between themselves and their horses. This period in my life taught me the most interesting dynamics. Different than most therapeutic situations, this process was one using many levels of existence. The horse's mirroring allowed me to learn about the effects of our intellectual understanding, our emotional responses, our intuitive abilities and how much our energy plays a role. We might appear to have it all together, but if there is a flaw, you cannot hide it from the horse, such a pure spirit. The hidden issue was reflected as clear as day. Horses became my tool to create a balanced connection. This is the concept of natural riding or balanced riding. I called it 'shaping thy spirit.'

This experience through horses taught me so very much. They taught me about myself, relationships and people. They taught me about life and how to live life. They taught me how to use your mind, your intellect, your emotions, your energy, your intuition and your higher self all in one place working to one end. They brought my full spirit back into my body, with an enlivened peace deep within my soul. The horses allowed me to work with others so their spirits could find a great place to express themselves more completely.

The problem was that I still did not have a strong foundation to stand on. Financially I was not secure. I did not have the resources to fall back when I needed time and space for my self. This made life like living on sand.  I wanted to help everyone that needed help.  I gave and gave until I had nothing left. I struggled with self protection and discernment. I had no ability to understand that depleting my energy resources would eventually haunt me.

Professionally, I became a high demand. My goal was to only work four horses a day, and then enjoy my two personal horses. Most days I was working with eight or nine horses, and my horses were being neglected in the field. People wanted me to watch their animals, consult on behavioral problems and ride their young horses in the hunt field. I needed a shirt that just said, 'NO!'

 

Soul Work | Journey into the Heart of Darkness

Finally, I physically fell apart. I have a great ability to call on energy beyond my self, but have a had time restoring my own balance.   My chronic fatigue came back full force. This was my first time being diagnosed, but I believe that I started the cycle of chronic fatigue as a child before they even had a name for it. I had ear infections as an infant, then chronic sinus infections, later candida overgrowth and finally chronic fatigue.

As a child when I worked myself into the ground and fell apart, western medicine would say that nothing was wrong.  I would rest until I felt better again, heal my self. 

 

Healing Level One

I had to recuperate and rebuild my system. This time I was in my mid to late twenties.  We already had alternative health professionals that had helped with the previous poisonings and the directed energy, so I found a local alternative professional and contacted our Chinese medicine doctor in California.  I researched and researched to understand exactly what was going on with my health.  I discovered was that our physical environment is so messed up that to create a healthy environment with good quality food, water, air and other essentials was going to cost a fortune. Also, I discovered that we were not taught some basics about how to live and how to maintain our wellness.  I didn't have the resources, so withmy mother's help, I decided to go to a plantation she co-owned in Fiji.

Here is another crazy story. The Fiji property was bought by a group of doctors when the truth about LSD experiments that were sanctioned by the shadow government came out in the public knowledge. They bought 250 acres in Fiji to escape in the event they were prosecuted by the government or any other person, even though the government originally sanctioned and funded them. One hand did not know what the other was doing and it is a slippery slope to find yourself in the middle.

A dear friend, a friend of my mother's, spent 10 years living in Fiji immediately after the program shut down. My mother was never involved in experiments, but later when a couple doctors passed away and an option became available, she purchased a portion of the interest.

I travelled to a remote place on the far side of Fiji for four months. I had a strict regimen to nourish and rebuild my system. I had spent four months prior in LA before I went overseas detoxing and clearing out my system. My time overseas was to rebuild my wellbeing by reducing stress, eating well and enjoying life. I took eighty pounds of books and spent the whole time in the sun. I met some wonderful people; though I did end up trying to help the locals deal with problems between villages. Actually Fiji can be a scary place when the local get upset, since they happen to have big knives in their hands!

After four months, I went to New Zealand (great horses and people too) to visit some riding friends, and decide if I wanted to move their permanently. I figured the United States was totally crazy and New Zealand would be a place that turned back the clock to a better time. I spent the next two years enjoying an alternative to the American lifestyle. Finally in the end, I decided that New Zealand had its own concerning issues (highest suicide rate of teenagers, highest pollutants per capita, social controls, etc.) that would take me years to understand, and even longer to create a way to counter balance all the short comings. I decided to return to America believing there is no way to run away from your heritage. At least there I knew the problems in America, now I had to find a way to move beyond barely surviving.

 

Healing Level Two and Beyond

During that time overseas, I had to do some real soul work to clear the demons from my inner world.  I felt like I was Conrad as he went down the Congo into the Heart of Darkness.  This was a very transforming time through the darkness.  My healing was not immediate, and my foundation in life did not quickly materialize.  Years and years would still have to pass for each layer to be pulled apart and relayed on a solid foundation.

The journey into the depths either makes you or breaks you.  My life took on a whole new meaning.  Once I began to look truly at myself and my life, one by one I could address all the issues that haunted my soul.  There is no quick fix here.  The challenge is remaining open and being willing to look at that which makes you feel completely at odds with yourself without completely falling apart.

Living in a world where people only want to remain on the surface, we do not learn how to go deep.  People do not want to know the truth beyond the surface.  This is a solo journey, and there are only a few in this world that actually want to make this journey.  The cool thing is that it is freeing, very liberating.  By taking the journey things do not scare you any longer.  Nothing chains you like you were in the past.  You can build a strong foundation.  You can reach the central core of your being. It’s easier to see what is true and real in your life.  People can no longer push you one way or another.   Your path becomes clear.  You become stronger, yet more flexible. You can easily decide what is worth doing and what is worth letting go of. 

I remember sitting at the resort in Fiji where I did my shopping every two weeks when I went to town, my only trickle of hot water during four months. The rest of the time was no power and no water back at the plantation, living life in the old days again. I was staring off into the distance from my porch looking out over the waves on the beach below. The palm trees were blowing in the wind. They were swaying back and forth so beautifully, each going in a different direction. They were tall and beautiful bending as need yet remaining firmly in the ground. The breeze which was quite strong allowed them to dance with the flow of life. I realized this is how we move beyond surviving and learn to truly live life.

Now this process does not happen all at once.  We have layer upon layers to see what is real and face things that we have held onto that have prevented us from ourselves and our desires.  It’s a never ending self realizing process.
 
The cool thing is that when we no longer fear the things that go bump in the night and we face those shadows, we can overcome them.  They are not the enemy that we need to hide from any longer.  We do not think everything outside of us is going to get us or hurt us. We find a peace within our being. Our roots reach deep into mother earth and our spirit soars high into the heavens.

We are not perfect.  Life is full of color and shades that give brilliance through the texture of life.  By realizing that we are not the duality of good and bad, we begin to embrace our shadows as part the bring definition to our whole self.  With the information about what is real, we can begin to incorporate more truth and authentic-ness into our life.

The ebb and flow of life is working with the shadows and the brilliance to find or shape our way.  This is shaping thy spirit.  This is living within this dimension.  This is embracing our truest nature and growing through situations to a higher state of being.

Any situation that presents itself is now a challenge to find our truest path that aligns most authentically with our essence.  As we learn to navigate situations we learn to use our emotions and our intellect to guide our steps.  The more we use these tools the more clearly we see our path.

This is a practice I first learned with my horses, and then later I learned in my life.  Now I am learning with a full family filled with high spirited beings. I will tell you it's easier to learn with a horse! Our human life, our human souls are much more intertwined!

 

NEW ERA | The Age of Revealing and the Time of Choice

Flash forward, I am married to Robert with eight children between the two of us ranging from two to almost thirty-three (his, mine and ours). We actually have a new grandson this last fall from Robert's middle adult son. Together, we have four girls and four boys. At home currently, we have four girls and a boy.

We live in the country just outside DC on 3.5 acres. Actually I am only 15 minutes from the Chronicle of the Horse from my childhood. The location is beautiful. The farm is great for its size and has been perfect to get us where we are today. The goal is more land to incorporate our vision of holistic living, animals and sharing what we have learned. The natural lifestyle is still the best way to feed and restore my soul on a regular basis, and a horse is still one of the best teaching tools I have found.

 

Multidimensional Quantum Development & Didactic Edification

Over the last twenty five years, I have developed my consulting business working with people using my process of Multidimensional Quantum Development. This is what I call the vision that the natural process of life that I see in my mind's eye. The intuitive understanding of working with nature through the horses helped to define this connection to create an authentic holistic development process. This is the process of aligning internally and externally all aspects.

My work has been in the area of people on their relationships with animals and relationship dynamics; people contemplating life and defining their life's dream; people focusing business ideas and mapping plans to develop their vision and dreams; and helping people work together to open lines of communication to move projects forward. Currently, I am working full time with my children navigating their special gifts, shaping their spirits and encouraging them to discover their inner bliss.

After I married Robert, his young adult son came to him about 'The 9-11 Truth Movement' and asked his 'Dad' to look into what really happened. Robert, who was as American as they come, believing in the system and the people running it, was shocked to find out that this shadow government existed. When he was young, he like the rest of the hippies of the time did not buy into the system and believed there was a better alternative way. Since then he had joined the system and kept his nose to the grindstone.

This wakeup call by his son came around the same time he had sent his book off to an editor that told him to research the shadow side of our government. Both caused Robert to research like crazy. He went down every rabbit hole and turned over every rock. He could not believe that he had not seen it before, and he could not believe that others could not see what seemed plan as day! He had grown up in the DC area amongst the military industrial complex and all the spooks that live in this town. He had known about the cloak and dagger and how cops and robbers were basically acting the same, yet one held the current cultures approval and the other was deemed wrong. He knew the grey zone and rebelled against all the injustices. Yet, his journey did not include up till that point a wider view of what was going on. Now he blew it wide open and could not believe his eyes. And even more upsetting that no one else believed him at all.

I had no doubts about how the dark side of our country was using methods that were unknown to the public at large to develop unknown agendas and move pieces of their puzzle into place. My question always came back to what can we do about it? I did not like the feeling of helplessness and I am not a victim. I have been waiting patiently to find a way to make a difference. I always came back to what can we really do? In the back of my mind was 'not until everyone united to say we will not take it any more... thing will go on as they always have been.

After researching for the next three years and reviewing my twenty five years of journaling on Multidimensional Quantum Development, our answer to all we see is the concept of Didactic Edification. Didactic Edification is what all of us can do to affect the state of the current world. Each of us can build up our whole system to navigate this world to a better place. That day we dedicated ourselves to step beyond our family to begin the process of creating a platform to spread the word to anyone that wanted to listen.

Robert completed his work on his eBook, The Real Deal: a Transformation of Consciousness ~ the Enigma of Robert Reckmeyer. (this is his journey from childhood to time prior to now).

 

Weaving The Pieces Together

At the beginning of this time, I decide with full intention to look into our ancient origins and develop the forgotten arts of healing. Robert and I together continued our efforts into looking beyond the surface to find deeper meaning beyond the surface.

Our research ramped up to full speed and information just poured in. So many people around the world were waking up. People were sharing thier part of the greater story and clearer visions from wider viewpoints fell into place. The researchers across many areas were coming to the same conclusions regarding how we had missed the mark and there is a whole new way to look at life.

Recently someone told me that the way to know how advanced a society was is in direct relation to their technology. The more we need gadgets (no matter how cool!) the less conscious we are as a people. The more in tune we are using our whole body, the less reliant we are on external material items. Given our current age, we can see why so many are asleep!

I started working on putting all the information that I see in my mind's eye along with all the information that was coming into our lives into some kind of workable format. I took an online website development course at our local community college. Encompass Strategies evolved into ShapingThySpirit.com, Robert Reckmeyer.com, ThriveRightNow.com and the ThriveRightNow Store. I have more ideas that we will develop over time. Right now I am focusing on what we have started and trying to get them completed.

 

The Outside World, Circle of Trust & Wise Council

In the meantime, the old paradigm in our country was unraveling quickly and Robert's extended family was imploding. His family like mine is riddled with many unhealthy dynamics from a variety of different American systems. So many families in today's world are broken and destroyed by our dysfunction. There was a strong split between the intellectual and the spiritual, between the power/control and love/compassion, between the old way and the new way, the material and the energetic. This issue turned into a microcosm reflection of the macro we were seeing in the outside world.

Robert's retail business, his external macro world reflected the devistation of the micro and had completely crashed and burned. This evolution has been a work in progress over the last four or five years. Untangling the web has been a dedicated path to endure. We decided to change gears, closing the retail stores and begin working on shifted our life by putting everything on the table, doing our research, prioritizing, and making hard decisions about what was the right choices in our life to be ready no matter what life brings.

We knew that until we cleared away all the toxicity we could not secure a strong foundation. Only when all the clear boundaries and a secure footing was obtained could we rebuild on solid ground. Robert likes to say its like the birthing process. We want the new life, but we must endure the pains of labor. We are just leaving this time I call the dark night. The dawn is coming. We have paved the way for this time.

 

Creation, Birth & Life

I would like to take a moment to sidestep and discuss another issue that is close to my heart. During this time I have had my delivered my last two children into this world. Each experience was a shocking wake up call to the current state of affairs.

My concerns about how our culture currently views bringing life into this world. There are many concerns over pregnancies, delivery and the first vital years of life. Parents want to do what is best for their families, but I believe that the medical profession has drifted so far off course that our children are truly suffering. This time has always spoken to my soul loudly. I personally had four full term pregnancies and four natural delivers (some with more intervention than others). In the perfect world I would have delivered all my children at home creating the best environment with my family and support team.

My first child was delivered at 31 weeks and weighed less than 4 pounds. She had no real complications, just small and perfect. My next was born with a heart defect which almost cost her life when she was born. My first two children spent three weeks in the NICU where I was present 24/7 or as much as the medical system would tolerate.

My other two young children were born in the hospital with no complications and no issues. All my children have received 9 APGARS at birth and have thrived once they were home. All my births were in birthing centers. Three of my births were with the same doctor. I had my sister in law as a birth assistant involved in three of my four pregnancies and deliveries.

My concerns are with the current system we are using to bring babies into this world. Women are treated like growing machines and no other value to the fetus' development. Deliveries are a check off list that is represented by a time table. Babies are lab rats that are measured, weighed and monitored on a regular basis. Tests tell us if there is a problem that has to be fixed by a professional. The human body is looked at like a machine that when a part is broken we just replace the broken part. We believe that our DNA is the formula for our life and that we truly have limited control over our outside environment. All this spells spiraling health in our country today. I understand that this has become the norm; but its not health, its not wellness and it is definitely not thriving.

My doctor that delivered my last three children slowly slipped from being a care giver to a disgruntled man that was fed up with the current system and was just waiting to retire.

Long story, short, when my son was born, my doctor couldn't bother to wait for delivery. His partner I had known just as long, went down her list, and in my book, radically jeopardized the wellbeing of myself and my child, so that she could be back in her car within 15 minutes after delivery.

My once beloved doctor turned into a turn mill with the calendar and medical notes ruling all decisions. My child's birth was no longer about bringing life into this world and the blessing of creation, but marking all the boxes while navigating normal without getting sued.

Once again the system didn't want to listen; the system was not flexible; and the system did not care about the circumstances of the individual that is involved. The system only cared about the system and maintaining the order of the system.

Our priority as a family was the wellbeing of our family. Our plan was not rigid (death) but flexible (life) to focus on and ensure our wellbeing. Thank God that our little boy was strong and healthy. So many things could have gone wrong, and with the care I received my risk went up greatly.

There has to be advocates out there opening the eyes of new parents to do their research, contemplate an alternative to the new normal hospital birth. I am so willing to stand up and make this message heard. My heart goes out to all these souls that are missing so much and being damaged by the ignorant arrogance of the current system.

 

Home Life, Home Schooling & Navigating this World

Our family on the farm includes five minor children at home ranging from two to seventeen, two bunnies and a black lab named Buddy. Each is very diverse and extremely strong willed by nature. Working between strong willed spirits is a full time job! Our home has a full spectrum of energy co-existing on a daily basis. Life is not without challenge.

Key to my current position is to stay connected at my core essence and believe that I do have all that I need when I need it. Time is spent clearing and cleaning. I reflect on the energies at hand and adjust as needed to secure wellbeing for all involved. After facing all my concerns about the children of our world, our health care system and the current interests of all industry, we as a family decided to take the education completely into our hands, since our children are our responsibility.

We could not find a system that teaches all the lessons that are missing in our current culture today. This world is not teaching us the tools we need to navigate and thrive in this world. Our job and our priority as parents is to raise our children not only to survive, but to thrive! The way of power and control will no longer produce fruit. The new way of being is through our energetic understanding of this world using our whole being. By incorporating our mind (intellect and emotions, left and right brain, the whole brain), our intuitive self, our energetic self, our spiritual self and our divine self, we can approach this world on a whole new level.

Since I have seen such divisions in this world and the dynamics it creates with the triangulation of not dealing with an issue directly, not confronting the emotions stirred up inside that go beyond the current situation, realizing there are effects and consequences that go beyond initial intentions, and coming to an understanding and awareness about the outside by seeing the perspectives of many sides. The old dynamics that are common practices today support the divisions we have created in this world which allow spinning false understandings without grappling with the interconnected relations of the whole picture. Without looking for the direct correlations and affects, we have lost our direct responsibility, our holistic viewpoint and there is no real truth that can be found.

Therefore, my number one focus with my children is conflict resolution. Any situation that cannot be resolved well by them, we all come together with me as the mediator. Everyone gets the opportunity to share their story. No one is allowed to cross healthy boundaries. They may have their emotions and their opinions, but they must also respect the emotions and opinions of the other. We stay until everyone understands what each has experienced. We look for the truth. Ultimately, we find a resolution. In the end every child feels heard, appreciated and that their situation was resolved. They all run off and play together in harmony.

To me, this lesson is the most vital lesson I can teach my children in today's world. If they learn how to navigate their internal worlds and their external worlds, they will be able to accomplish anything. If they learn what pushes them and what pushes others, they will be more aware. When a situation arises and emotions are out of control, if they understand that the focus is to find the right resolution rather than getting their own way, life is such a better place. This daily routine, helps everyone involved lay the foundation to build our new time. When a situation arises and there is upset, the worst thing you can do is just take one child away claiming they are the victim and the other is the bully. That dynamic only enforces all the unhealthy relations that are currently being held up in our society. The goal should not be to protect one over the other, but instead to protect all. I am learning as I teach my children. Together we are working to deal with life in a better way!

How this translates into all of life is the fact that if they learn this lesson of conflict resolution well, they will be able to navigate any situation before them. When a challenge comes up they will not just react. They will learn to take their time to understand all the possible ways to look at something, all the possible solutions and will know what the best possible outcome is for themselves and all involved. This holds true not for only conflict, but for learning about anything in this world. Approaching something in a way that is not there to validate a position already held, but instead, to stretch beyond what is known in order to find the best possible position encourages seeking to find truth outside from a variety of sources. All the information will be absorbed, contemplated and a higher ground will be sought. What more can a parent ask for? These are the survival tools that will allow anyone to rise above their current position, gain solid ground and thrive.

One of our goals is to look for new understandings and new approaches to all things that reflect the most authentic and the most balanced way of living within this world.

We looked and looked for any program or ideas that would support multidimensional quantum development. The current ideas of education are mind-closing, mind-control that dumbs us down and keeps us from embracing our fullest potentials. First order of business was unschooling. Actually, I spent hours everyday since my children were born like most parents teaching them all that I had learned so far about life. Even fully armed, the time in school early on laid some foundations that were not healthy for my children. We spent some time allowing for their natural learning abilities to rise to the surface. This empowers them with a spark to be curious and stretch beyond what they believe is true. Each child is so very unique and special in thier own way. Each learns differently at a different rate. Balancing between each took time to develop but ultimately has been worth the investment.

We decided that a Didactic Edification that allowed us to create an experiential learning which builds up our complete being to its fullest brilliance is exactly what we want for ourselves and our children. This is not an easy task. Each of us are so different. The goal is to take the time and the effort to invest into our children so that they have the strong foundation and awareness to thrive in this world.

There are many keys to make this work well.  Being open, being in right energy, having a strong foundation, being true, being awake, being alive and being in-tune. Part of this is doing our work, spending the time, connecting all the dots, finding the balance and learning to work within our selves and between all our relations.

We see life as the greatest teacher and being willing to work with all that we encounter broadens our awareness and opens our world. Raising our children to see the world from an intuitive perspective realizing everything is energy and that we have our emotions and our intellect to navigate every situation we encounter has allowed them to rise above just surviving. The goal is that no matter what life throws their way, they can move beyond barely surviving to thrive into their fullest potentials.

 

Getting Back to Basics, Prioritizing Life & Setting Clear Intentions

At home Robert and I along with all the children challenged every aspect of our life and put everything on the table. Nothing is too sacred to discuss. Now Robert and I don't necessarily agree on everything. We do have different perspectives about many situations. Most times I say that we tend to look at things in the exact opposite way, coming from the exact same position. It's like we are standing on the same spot, back to back looking out in different directions. (think of the Ying & Yang symbol). At times you wonder now we make it work, but we do. I would say that being dedicated to our own position and embracing the resistence from the other pushes us beyond our limits to discover a greater understanding. This is part of strong spirited people working together on a common goal, each doing it imperfectly. Each of us stretch the other more than we believe is possible. Though painful at time, we find ourselves far better off down the road!

As a family, we went through and decided what relationships, environments, communities and nourishments were healthy and which were toxic. We cleaned house. We continue to clean house, internal and external.

We had to make hard decisions about family members that were not okay. We decided what relations were unhealthy and at this point unfixable. Only after a time and setting strong boundaries have we included some family that was once excluded. We took responsibility for the things we needed to own and let go of all that was not aligned with our being. We want to heal those bonds that can be healed and keep the ones that are toxic at a distance.

 

Detox, Build a Strong Foundation & Fortify

With our bodies, we are detoxing all 'the ails' of the past that have brought us to a weakened state. We nourish with the most wholesome foods sources available to build a strong foundational constitution. We do not believe that individual vitamins or supplements that are target specific concern well with our bodies. We believe that we need whole earthen foods: herbs, spices, mushrooms, monatomic elements and other natural resources to nourish, detoxify and rebuild our complete being. By providing whole natural substances our bodies which are self aware know what they need and regulate themselves, will heal our body.

We have diversified our food resources to include: our own garden, local growers, organic brands, high quality superfoods and the best quality whole resource blends (herbs, roots, dried superfoods, mushrooms, seeds and other beneficial food sources).

Part of this process was to realize that the environment we create in life either supports our wellbeing or is toxic (or too has no effect being neutral). One vital aspect is to realize what we are putting into our systems on a daily basis is living up to this principle. What are we listening to? What are we watching? What is going through our minds? What is coming out of our mouths? What does our immediate environment look, feel, smell and sound like? What energies are we exposing ourselves to? We are what we think. We are what we eat. Our environment is a reflection of how we are inside. What does the dynamic between our inner worlds and outer worlds look like? What is feeding what?

To this point three years ago I decided that now that I knew more about the latest scientific understandings of Epigenetics, quantum theories and other ground breaking realizations of many researchers to move forward in two directions. I wanted to learn more about our ancient origins and the wisdom of esoteric teachings and about the ancient wisdoms about healing and wellness.

This brought me full circle realizing that the concepts that we have learned that man prior to our existence were primitive and archaic was false. Man had great wisdoms in the past that far outreached some of the understandings we have today. Our technological advances does not mean we have become more enlightened and in tune with working on all levels of existence with our full powers. Scientifically we know that we are using a very little bit of our brain (some more than others) and we also know that the 'junk' DNA that we use to think had no purpose actually does.

My dedication is to keep understanding what has brought about the divisions we see in today's world, to understand some of the remaining nuggets of wisdom from our ancient origins and to find a way to reweave all that I learn into a workable and teachable model to share as I share with my family.

Since I can control my direct environment, I continuously reflect on how to make my home, life and relations the least toxic while securing the most supportive for all the individuals involved in our family.

Another concrete example is that I have embraced the concept that our kitchen is our wellness center. I have heard it be called the medicine cabinet, but I would say it is far more than that. To me the kitchen is the most vital place in the household. This is the heart of the family. Here the food that creates our wellness is made or the ingested toxins are spread. Here is where we learn to nourish our souls or starve. Here is where life becomes open, flexible and capable of dealing with many different systems that have a variety of requires at any given time. Creating meals that have no considerations to the sensitivities, means that some are nourished while others are being toxed. This is not the best option for all involved. Life is in our awareness and our flexibility.

I created an apothecary in my kitchen by setting up our wildcrafted herbs, roots, nuts, fruits, ancient grains, and freeze dried superfood powders. I started looking on our farm for locally occurring wild herbs and mushrooms. I researched all about whole earthern resources, superfoods from around the world used by every culture and the exploding world of monatomics. When I realized the importance of caring for our foods from seed to table and following their cycle of life, harvesting, processing and distribution, we radically changed our approach to foods.

National chains support foods that can be processed easily, at a low cost and last a long time. This means foods void of their nutritional value and an increase in toxicity. We realized that to ensure our wellbeing we needed a diversified source of the highest quality whole food sources.

We dedicated ourselves to planting our first large garden. We found local growers to support; we had owned a cow locally for years and years; we started ordering from the Amish again; and we began ordering organic bulk food online. We realized how dangerous GMO foods, processed foods, Nutrasweet, High Fructose Corn Syrup and most food sources easily found in our culture today. We discovered the ancient wisdom of superfoods that are still found all over the world in all traditions. One step at a time we have made conscious decisions about the selection of our foods and the sources they come from.

When we switched to the Ball jar and bucket system this was the reasonable next step. All the healthy grains, legumes, nuts, dried fruits, dried teas, dried roots, and all the powder superfoods replaced the typical cupboard filled with packaged goods of one kind or another that are highly toxic. I remember my teenager looked at our shelves and said what is this? This is not food! Where is the food? She was looking for a familiar bag of something or can that she could open to eat immediately.

Each week I make a tea from a variety of adaptogenic herbs, roots, berries and mushrooms. Robert calls this my 'witch's brew.' This is the base for our supershakes. We make super shakes multiple times a day (a fruit in the morning, a superfood shake midday and a veggie shake at night). We invested in a Vitamix which has completely changed our life and improved the quality of our shakes. We carry the Vitamix in our Thrive Right Now Store. This is in addition to healthy balanced meals which everyone takes part in. The shakes allow me as a parent to ensure the children are receiving the nourishment they need without have to police mealtime and cause issues around foods. The kids each have their favorite shakes and enjoy making new shakes at different times.

We have a variety of 'healthy' teas and drinks we make to sustain our wellbeing. When we are confronted with one health concern or another, we just whip of something to fortify our system and get us back on track. Actually no one has been sick for more than a day since we dedicated ourselves to this path.

We have bulk organic foods (whole grains, beans, fruits & nuts) in a system where we rotate the food between our Ball jars and our storage buckets on a regular basis. We also carry the individual bulk organic foods, superfoods, Ball jars and buckets in our Thrive Right Now Store. We have all the products individually or put together in different samples, packages or systems. Having these products in bulk ensures high quality food, and assures us that if there is an emergency, we have the freshest food we use daily on hand. Therefore, we always have a strong foundation of good food sources.

We detoxify and cleanse on a regular basis through herbs, teas, clay salt baths and meditation. We make our own aged garlic in brandy and make a variety of tinctures. We rebuild and repair our systems to fortify our wellbeing on a regular basis. We have a wonderful energy medicine professional who works at a holistic wellness center. Here we find many alternative professionals working together (listed with our resources) we see regularly to help trouble shoot any concerns as they arise. We have a great resource for whole earthen food resources and supplements we stock in our Thrive Right Now Store. We have a fabulous Chinese herbalist online (listed with our resources) to help support our system as needed. I always have my childhood alternative Chinese doc a phone call away! We have navigated our wellness to a whole new level and enjoy a high quality of life.

To see the four year old tell her eldest sister that sugar will make her sick and see the two year old use the 'stop' energy hand position to heal a banged ankle or a bleeding knee is wonderful. None of them believe that they need a professional to solve what ailes them. They know that 'Mama' has a whole resource to help them navigate the situation and that if she does not have the answer, she will find one!

Maintaining Wellness

Our system of wellness uses the idea of detoxification, nourishment and rebuilding our system on a regular basis. We research the newest and latest on the forefronts of the current times to keep us fresh and alive to address any concerns that confront us.

Here are some examples of the health issues that have challenged our family: chronic fatigue, headaches, arthritis, lyme disease, learning disabilities, heart defect, special needs resulting from trauma, heavy metals and mercury poisoning, and a few bumps here and there. I was riddled with ear infections as a child I am sure from our common health practices at the time. Since I research my health issues back twenty years ago, I have not had to use a round of antibiotics or any antihistamines to keep my sinuses under control. We have no allergies, diabetes or weight issues. We do realize a condition that manifests and search out the root cause. We use multiple modalities to positively affect our systems using a multilevel approach. We research and make decisions on what is the best path given the circumstances.

Last year we turned to whole foods for healing and turning away from supplements and individual vitamins. We are biodynamic and do not understand the full process of nature. We are multidimensional beings of light energy experiencing this world on many levels that is outside our complete awareness.

We believe that providing the right resources, our bodies which are quite capable of healing themselves can detox, nourish and rebuild. Our Apothecary has proven a wonderful addition to our lives. Not everyone has the time or the energy to invest this deeply. Recently we found a wonderful product line that covers exactly what we have been doing manually for over a year now with wonderful results. Our new whole earthen supplement line simplifies our daily routine. Our store now offers these premixed whole food sources to meet the needs of any individual desiring to detox, nourish and rebuild their complete system.

Please visit our Thrive Right Now Store to see the variety of essentials to move beyond surviving to Thrive Right Now.

My children have never had an ear infection, have never had a course of antibiotics and have no typical health concerns. This does not mean that we do not encounter a variety of illnesses like everyone else. The difference is that our bodies are now functioning at a higher level. When an opportunist bug strikes, our body is there to respond. With our current lifestyle and regimen, no one is sick for more than one day unless we completely go crazy on our diet which weakens our immune response and do nothing to fortify our system (or actually system of systems).

For example the storm of February 2010 taught us a variety of lessons. After three days of no power during the blizzard, we realized that living off the grid would not be that difficult. We would like to have an alternative energy source and use the grid as back up. Living life was amazingly easy.

The other lesson we learned was that when we could not maintain our normal super shake routine and when we added more sugary foods (turning to comfort foods to keep spirits up) for three days, all of us struggled with a cold that lasted more than one day. The situation was quickly remedied by restoring the shakes and stopping the extra sugar. The lesson showed us that our systems still are not as strong as we would like, and the fact that a poor diet can ruin your system pretty quickly.

All in all, the blizzard that brought life to a halt revealed that we as a family did very well and could manage just fine. All the work we have done in the past years has really brought us to a new level of living. Our children are very aware of the short comings of this world and are empowered with ways to navigate any hardship they might face.

 

Lessons in Life

Here are some of the best lessons I have taught my children so far:

• To read the labels on any foods (that has labels).
• Last year my three year old told her teenage sister who was eating junk food that sugar will make you sick.
• To know that the best foods are the ones that God has provided straight from nature.
• Not to hold guilt over eating less than good food. Just realize that there is a trade off. So if you eat that chocolate cake (hopefully homemade and not just Hostess!) enjoy, bless and love the cake. Then make better choices with more nutritious options that cleanse, support and heal.
• Realize that since everything is energy, some things are better conductors and hold the energy (energy memory). Being aware of the environment has the ability to be charged with a type of energy. Someone who watches violent movies in a room, store the negative energy in the surroundings. Someone that blesses food and water is later ingesting a higher quality of energy through the natural crystalline structure than the person that had the water sitting in a car while they were playing heavy metal. Everything has its natural vibrational frequencies that affect our wellbeing. Knowing what relates to us and being away that certain things are charged with energies that either support us or are toxic to us.
• Doctors do not heal us. We can heal ourselves by finding the right answer through knowing what is going on with our bodies, our minds and our life. All you have to do is your research and locate the right information or expert to help you solve your own problem.
• To know that to find truth we do not just accept what is currently believed. We research and test to find out what the deeper meaning is and listen intuitively to know what is real for us.
• We are what we think and what we surround ourselves with, so it is vital to be aware of what is going on in our internal and external environments.
• When we are upset or not acting like ourselves, realize that we are out of sync. Do not just attack the outside world for the internal disconnects. Stop, claim the current state and take the time to bring yourself back to center.
• NEVER is it alright to just grab, take, steal, lie or react in regards to any situation. If life is threatened than fight or flight is the immediate solution. A toy is not a life threatening event (no matter how big the toy is!). Stop, ask. If asking does not work and a solution can not be found, find another way: mediation, letting it go, communicating differently, asking about the problem. Brute force is never the answer and creates a failing solution always.
• Some things are not okay. We have to have healthy boundaries. Always claim what is yours in a situation and not accepting that which is not yours. Be open to hear what others think could be yours to own. This is a dynamic process and never is there just one response. (ie. My way or the high way)
• Even my two year old now has learned energy medicine techniques to heal bumps and bruises quickly. They understand there are many levels of healing and working together we can bring about complete wellness.
• The list goes on and on....

In just a couple years we have radically changed our lifestyle, the way we approach every situation and where we are putting our energies on a moment by moment basis.

Ultimately, I feel very good exactly where we are building a strong foundation, getting back to basics, prioritizing our life, staying focused on what we feel are vital to living well within our world, maintaining a high level of wellness and embracing our fullest being.

The proof is in the pudding... so as we finish navigating the old life closing down (finally) and we are now moving forward dedicated 100% to this new life, we are ... so excited to be exactly where we are right now!

 

The Lesson from My Story

Life is a process, an ever changing state of being. We embrace this as a challenge to find the most out of our experience and be the best we can be. We stretch and hunger to seek out our calling and our purpose.

Each of us is here for a purpose. No one can define that purpose.  We all have a hole in our heart, deep within our soul to find that meaning.  We try to fill it with superficial material things, but it remains empty.  We become vampires needing a never ending supply from other spirits or material objects. We become drained or we drain those around us. Eventually, or at least hopefully, we realize that we cannot satisfy this hunger from the outside, no matter how hard we try.

The only solution to the hole that exists in our heart is to follow our bliss.  This is the journey to know ourselves and find our own personal meaning.  Until we take up the quest to rid ourselves of all that is not us (who we truly are at our core) and uphold all that is us, we remain lost.  Our spirit is looking for itself.  Our pieces of our soul are scattered to the wind.  We are unfulfilled no matter what we do.  We took to others to satisfy our hunger.  It’s easier to take their energy and blame them for falling short, than realizing the shortness is within our being. Only by clearing our own internal world and connecting to our true self, can we heal the hole and become whole.

The choice is ours and ours alone.  We hear the whispers on the wind.  The messages are sent clearly, but we look away.  The calls come, but we do not answer.

When we awaken from our slumber and make the decision to move beyond our current position, do we realize the depth of our being and the true essence of our soul.

There was great wisdom once that is no longer connected to our current ways.  The ancient origins have been broken from our knowledge.  The powers and the truths have been lost.  Many are seeking to restore what has been taken from our lives.  Many are looking to reconnect the paths that no longer seem visible.  Many are discovering what ancients knew to be true.

All of us have the ability to reach beyond the surface and find what is rightfully ours.  We can heal the holes in our heart.  We can re-gather all that has been lost on the four winds and scattered to places unknown.

Those who hear the call have the choice to make the journey.  Some will see nothing and will hear nothing.  Others know all this to be true.  What matters is what is true to you.  Another’s truth will not do you any good.  Do not follow the path of another.  Find your own way.  Make your own way.  Listen for yourself and know the truth.

This time is about bringing wholeness to the brokenness.  The male energies have ruled for too long.  The answer is not the feminine.  The feminine is to restore the balance between the two.  The ultimate is to find the right path baring both.  Each of us has these energies.  Each of us has the right path.

To restore the world to a true position is for each of us to embrace our personal internal balance.  Restore our own wellbeing.  Build from a strong foundation.  Shed light in the dark place.  We are not here to rid ourselves of the demons but to shine light and reveal all we fear.  When the light is on we no longer fear the dark.  The goal is not to be blinded by the light or make others lost in our light.  We are here to shine within the brilliance of our own light and allow others to shine within theirs.

When we clean house from the inside we can begin to reconnect all aspects of our life.  The path becomes more clear about what is real to us and what is not.  When we are along this path, the things that are toxic and make us less than who we truly are, become less attractive.  We no longer want the things that harm us.  Once we realize that the things of the past that we held dear actually are not there for our best interest, they lose their power over us.  Making the decisions within our lives on how to live in a more real way becomes simpler. 

The more we do the more we see.  The more we see the more real all is.  Life keeps unfolding in a beautiful way that is whole and complete within itself.

The more we pull together all the pieces and the more we connect the dots the clearer our vision in this world becomes.  We become more and more committed along our path.

Once we have established a strong foundation in life and have connected so many of the pieces that were once broken can begin the journey to soar to new heights.  We free our spirit and allow it to soar.  The foundation gives us the platform in which spring boards our journey.  We can climb higher and higher to find the dream within our soul.

This journey is the rising phoenix comes forth through the continue death and shedding of the soul.  Each layer reveals more of our essence and purifies our essence within this time and space. As we climb to these great heights we gain much vision.  The journey gives us the depths and the brilliance that we see beyond our current position.  It allows us to reflect and give insight into that is before us.  We learn to work with the spirit through the depth of our right brain while being able to use our left brain to keep this dimension in perspective.

Being able to move from this plane to the next and being able to navigate within the linear and material expands our experience and allows for growth in our journey in every direction.

Part of this journey is finding your center.  This is a process of learning to know yourself well enough to navigate the internal landscape.  This is learning to use the vital functioning to purify the environments inside and out.  This is the ability to use your energy, your intellect, your emotions and all your bodily functions to align and balance your being.

Part of our limitations in this world is thinking that we are held bondage by our DNA, by our genetic code, by our environments, by our cultures, by our governments, by our physical bodies, by our families, by our abilities, and by our beliefs.  These are all illusions that keep us trapped within ourselves.  We have allowed them to hold us captive and it takes great energy to uphold these illusions.  We are swimming upstream and fighting the natural current in life.

If we can open our minds and release all the false assumptions that we have previously accepted, we can free our soul.

When we realize that we are barely using our capacities, we can begin to look for the more in life.  When we realize that all that we have learned has been used against us to keep us asleep, we can begin to move beyond our current position.  When we understand that if we start working with the natural order of things, we can open life up to a greater and richer experience, we begin to thrive.

Life is the brilliance that we create.  When we live in the dark shadows fearing what is lurking outside our reach, our world is a dark place.  To clear away the shadows is to only turn on the light to reveal that which was hidden in the darkness. To enlighten our soul is to remove the burdens that have held our soul down and kept us from our ultimate selves.

This world is not a world based on the survival of the fittest, endless wars, hate, scarcity and lack.  Our enslavement is based on the fear that we are not good enough to live so we hide in the dark.  We fear being found out or not receiving what we feel is owed to us.  We accept blindly the scrapes that are thrown our way.  We feel stuck in our current position and unable to move to a better place.  We create an illusion to make ourselves feel safe and secure, yet we do not want to look in the dark places and burst the illusionary bubble.

We have a light deep within each of us that is meant to shine.  My shining does not diminish your shining.  When we shine together we create the most brilliant rainbow.

The power of your lightbody resides in you.  That is the only place it exists.  Your light is not my light.  I cannot make your light shine.  You do not know the capabilities of my light.  How to ignite your light is a solo journey into yourself that will shine as brightly as you have connected and cleared the path to your soul.

When you put your bushel under a bush, your light is hidden.  Place your light on a lamp post for all to see.  Allow each light to be a spark in all the journeys that cross paths. 

Your power is one that if developed well can change the world or if the power is developed poorly will destroy the world.  The choice is in the palm of your hand.

It is a gift to each one of us.  This gift has been hidden or diminished for way too long.  The time is now to let the power out of the bottle to take the proper place in this world.  What will be your contribution?  The choice is ours to make.  No one holds our power over us except our own beliefs.

The world right now is preoccupied with how we are going to change all that we see.  Our focus needs to be on the why we should change the world.  We should change the world we see so that our lives are more full and more happy and more real for each one of us.  This experience is personal to me.  This experience is filled with my emotional and intellectual understanding of what is real.  My beliefs about life are the only thing that truly allows me to define the world in which I live.  I do not want to live in a world that is defined by another.  No government, no school, no professional or any other expert will ever know my life better than I know my life.  No one can tell me what is in the best interest of myself or those I love.

Anything that you tell me that I must do to live my life will never feel right to me.  Anything I tell you on how to live life will not feel right to you.  My world is no more rational or superstitious that yours.  We each see things differently.  That does not make mine right or yours right.  It is only right for me or not.  It is only right for you or not.

My power lies in creating my life.  Your power lies in creating yours.

We each want the freedom to be able to live.  When we learn to respect each other at this level we will finally be free.

Our world will rise up to a new level and be enlightened when each one of us does this individually in our own lives.
