What if you were to intend / imagine that you were at a bus stop, and the bus arrives curbside, and you see the door open, the steps leading up; the driver / guide wearing a huge smile, gives a nod; you step up and start moving into the bus as the bus leaves the curb.  Now you make a choice as to where you will sit, front, back, left, right.  The decision is not a difficult one and you feel in your heart that you have made the exact correct choice.  You feel the exhilaration of the energy as it fills your chest and explodes outward; love permeates the area around you and filters on outward in all directions from you.  The entire bus is aglow as it moves down the street.  The first stop is coming up and you make another choice as to getting off or not.  These choices come very easily and you are free and light feeling.  You know exactly which stop you are going to and you know exactly what will be there…

Get on that bus and feel the excitement of your next stop coming up!

Yesterday, I was at Border’s with my daughters and two of their friends.  They were hanging out, reading Manga and discussing Anime.  This is a tedious subject for me.  The constant filtering of which ones they should not be into is a bother.  But, the girls are being fairly mature about that and seem to be self-censuring to a good degree.

It was a particularly difficult morning because of issues with another of our children and I did a few circles in the center of the aisle near the girls before being led to a table of books where a baby book with cute, knitted caps on adorable babies was calling to me.  I’ve been knitting and crocheting lately, and hats are my thing.  (As an aside here, this is a very good therapy for me.  I find that the idea of learning something new, actually getting to finish a project, and then sharing that accomplishment with people is quite fulfilling.  My girls and I never miss the hour or two we spend once a week with the knitting club.)  Right next to this book was “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale.  One of those books one hears of many times in life and puts off picking up.  I opened it a little ways into the pages and found myself reading about sitting in the woods, listening to nature in order to learn how to “hear” God.  I love doing this meditatively anyway, but to have stumbled on the reminder that learning to let go and let God is a good prescription for finding the right answer or path was more than a coincidence, or “co-inky-dink,”  as we say around our house.  So, I continued reading over Norman’s vignettes of different people’s stories of tension and hurry and their having life-changing results by simply stopping in their tracks and breathing a bit.

One story was about a man who insisted on doing everything himself.  He was a business owner and could trust no one to do a good job, or so he thought.  His doctor told him to do this and that for relaxation and then to visit the cemetery for a short time each week.  The man wanted to know why and was told that he would come to realize that each one of those people had died and the world had not actually ended when they did.  The business owner went on to be quite successful by delegating and learning to let go of his perfecting tendency.

The reason that put me here today was that I wanted to share a healing-energy success story with you.  When I work in the evenings on Long Distance Energy sessions, I pray and meditate and connect with the person I have an appointment with.  This is basically the same as Norm’s advice above.  (I am not being rude in addressing him so.  I feel a comfortableness in what he shared with me yesterday and I want to pass on that feel of camaraderie to you as well.)  If I relax and bring my mind back to the subject at hand whenever I feel adrift, a calmness pervades and a deep state comes where images and words and ideas are shared with me for the person I’m working with.  There are many repeat clients who have become friends.  It would be difficult not to become friends when such an intimate connecting goes on.  The following is a portion of a response from a recent session.  This person has had pain in her right side for her entire life and no one has been able to determine why.  I am filled with gratitude to have been used for this person’s highest good and to hear positive results.

… I have to tell you I was going through my day and enjoying class and … the instructor told me I had a glow and looked like I was happy. I realized at that moment the pain in my right side is gone!!  I knew since our session I have felt lighter and happier. But I didn’t put it together.  The pain didn’t leave all at once it just eased off and left. Now my right arm is better but still hurting now and then. But nothing like before the session. …

I find it exhilarating to know it is okay for us to see and enjoy the light side and to feel good even though we may be bearing burdens of darkness at the same time.  It is a matter of letting go and letting God/the Universe help.

The following are two recent messages from the EFT portion of Long Distance Healing Energy Sessions.  They were meant to be very personal for the clients I was working with, but I chose them because, in my opinion, they are messages we can all benefit from.

“I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.  (I repeated this phrase until our connection was strong and the session moved along.)  I am grateful for all that my life is.  I am grateful for each breath of fresh air, for each swallow of clean water, for each beat of my heart, and for each step I take.  I am grateful to be filled with God’s love, peace, joy, hope, happiness, energy, health and healing.  These gifts fill me to overflowing.  I am happy to share them and I’m grateful for the people who receive them from me.  I am grateful and show this by returning love to the universe.  I watch as each ripple of love leaves my body, growing larger and larger until they become one with the universe in it’s infinity.  I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself and understand that, by concentrating on fullness, sharing, and gratitude, I turn myself into a magnet for all good things.”

“I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.  I allow myself to be open to the light and positive energy of the universe.  I am capable of using my intuition and I am not afraid.  I can feel the energy and can tell when it is positive and true.  I am made in the image of God and create my life, past, present, and future.  I am free and unburdened.  I share easily with others and feel the positive connection created by doing so.  I lend love and stability to the common consciousness we all share.  I know I am part of the whole.  I enjoy this feeling, this knowledge, and wrap it carefully, storing it in my heart.  Every beat of my heart reminds me of my worth and abilities.  I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.”

Please let me know if I can help or assist you in your spiritual walk.  Long Distance sessions are just as intimate, personal, and fulfilling as in-person sessions.

Now turn all those around.  I’m clear thinking, easy going, in control, strong, and calm.  That’s better.

These are what I truly am after all and that is why it bothers me so when the opposite words seem to apply.  They just aren’t me and feeling that maybe they do apply makes me feel even more yukko.

How many of us believe we are the awful emotions that emerge when we are stewing in our own crock?  My sister once told me that she appreciated being out and around people because they allowed her to be the real her.  I’ve always liked that thought.  The person we are when we are sharing our best with others is who we really want to be, who we are meant to be, and who we really, really are.

The negative attributes are merely the lack of the positive attributes.

Clear thinking – lack of clear thinking (confused)
Easy going – lack of easy going (irritated)
In control – not in control (bothered)
Strong – not strong (struggling)
Calm – not calm (anxious)

I may not have gotten all the opposites just right, but I think you can get my drift.  We are all some form of the positive attribute and function at some degree on the scale of each.  We would like to function at 100 %, of course, at least I would, but it gets just too darn hard to find the energy to do so.  Then we may feel that the lack of the attribute is the true way we are.

If we can find just the right way of filling our energy cup so that we have plenty to be at the top of our game, we will be quite pleased with ourselves.  What is a good way of accomplishing this?  One term that we know and use is prayer.  Prayer seems to have become more associated with a begging or wishing-for mind set, as if it is out of our hands, while others terms are more proactive or action-ary.   I know these terms are becoming more globally known — clearing, protecting, grounding, meditating…

Find your way of filling your energy cup each day, or even multiple times a day if you live in a difficult environment.  The first one I jump on is deep breathing and drawing energy up through my feet into my body and allowing it to flow out of my chest/heart area.  This works very well.  Remember when Mom used to say, “Count to ten?” – Basically the right way to go.  There is another quick fix/fill-up as well.

Emotional Freedom Technique – EFT tapping is a great method.  While you tap on acupressure points, you are opening your energy meridians.  Too, after having done it to the point of habit, you know this tapping to preempt a feeling of calmness, so it acts as your trigger.  If someone else does the tapping for you, you feel loved and energized from this exchange.  EFT is very powerful.

Aspiring to be the best us we can be is not such a struggle if we learn a few little ways of bumping our energy, filling ourselves with love, and allowing greater possibilities of success.

The following is a predicament one of my clients finds herself in after having had a future-telling psychic reading done.  She has allowed me to share it here.  I do hope it will serve you well and that it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings.  There is always something to be said for moderation in all things.

Here’s what she wrote:

A previous reading I received said that I will walk away from my boyfriend. So now I feel like I can’t get this thought out of my mind.  In my mind I’m thinking if that is the case – what is the point of trying with him now? But in reality I don’t want to walk away, I want to try and see what happens. I’m just having the hardest time letting go of that prediction and enjoying what I have right now and going with the flow.

You have made the right decision.  You are making your choice and now want to protect that choice.  This is exactly why it may not be a great idea to get future readings from psychics.  I think “outlooks of present situations” is a good way to go, but to have someone tell you what is coming can lead to confusion and then you are not able to follow your own intuition and heart.  I only look at the Tarot cards as leads into what I should be thinking about, areas of my life that need my focus.

Many people think knowing the future helps and they search for that information with all their might rather than allowing themselves to “feel” what is right.

Even if you do walk away at some point down the road, you still will have had experiences that you may be needing as part of your life lesson now.  You may meet people, do things, or have thoughts that you have never met, done, or thought before and wouldn’t because you quit before it was time.

I just saw this clip on Youtube.  A bit depressing, but something of the truth.  Even if the future telling isn’t true, can it come true by our expecting it to?

My suggestion is that you get about the business of living your life one moment at a time, planning for the future, and enjoying every breath you take.  Really!  It’s never written in stone!  Let future-telling psychics go, at least for a time.

‘For where there are two or three gathered together — to my name, there am I in the midst of them.’  Matthew 18:20  Young’s Literal Translation

That isn’t to say we should manipulate the energy into doing exactly what we want if it isn’t for our highest benefit.  I believe in remaining humble, grateful, and open to what is best for me.  If I need money to pay bills or the doctor and to buy food, I need to find out why I don’t have enough and work on applying energy to that area of my life.  That is, “I need help being a good employee,” or, “I need help with my self-confidence while I’m self-employed.”  I need to focus on what I can do and do with my best intentions.

This will bring the abundance we hope for.

Hello,
Do you give Money Reiki Healings?
Thanks

________________________________________________________

Hello,

I give Distance energy sessions that use elements from Reiki as well as other modalities. This is a session where you receive energy from the universe and I am acting as a booster of sorts by allowing additional energy to flow through me to you. This benefits you in whatever way the energy sees is best for you, whatever way your Higher Self/Spirit knows is best for you.

I will not/cannot manipulate the energy into doing anything that is not for your highest good.

If you were to ask for assistance with financial issues, I could focus on sending healing energy to whatever it is that is blocking your ability to support yourself. Then I will let you know if any images come to me that might suggest answers or bring up things you may not be aware of.

Please let me know if I can help.

Love and gratitude,
Diana

A client and new friend, thank you Crystal, has sent this video link to me and I was pleasantly surprised that she would think of me in this regard. We have not discussed music before now.

The pentatonic scale is a scale of five tones used in African, Far Eastern, and Native American music.  A thought just flew in…humming sounds, the om’s and hu’s used for meditation, actually massages the thymus and thyroid glands. This is relaxing. I wonder what role the pentatonic scale plays in the notes that we each choose for our healing humming?  There’s a power in the stride between them and a fulfillment in the feel of five notes.

Isn’t it amazing – the grace we receive when it is most needed? Something as simple as a melody raises our spirits and relieves our souls; allowing us to feel love and comfort; bringing us closer to creator God who is truly within us.

Diana,

Thank you for the lovely transcript. I can relate to many things that you covered. I have one question that I think may pertain to one of the imageries. How can I protect myself against negativity from a couple of people that I know?

Sincerely,
Kathy Rohe

Hi Kathy,

One of my mentors taught me a very simple method for protection.  It is like performing a grounding technique, all in the intention.

Each time we feel we are being bombarded, we will intend (imagine) a door into a safe, brick, building.  Having previously meditated and created this safe place, we just step inside.  We create our world while others are operating outside of us.  They create their worlds while we operate outside of them.  We can choose to be bothered, hampered, frustrated, or we can protect ourselves from these feelings and possibly intentional, negative thrusts from others.

We can protect ourselves first thing in the morning each day, but must remember to make sure to allow positive energy in.  We don’t want to be living in a bubble.

Simple, yet powerful…really!

Love and gratitude,
Diana

I like this method in that it keeps us from protecting ourselves with actions and words that may not be the best representation of ourselves that we would like. We may tend to get angry as a method of protection when all we might need to do is step inside our safe place and ride out the storm.
