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.

So, here we go on the subject of what we can learn from knitting and how to apply it to life’s decision making.

I have a friend who asks me to work with her as the occasion arises.  She has been in the process of making a decision regarding a class (one of her final needed to graduate with a Master’s degree).  Should she take the easy one to get a good grade, or take the more difficult one because she likes the subject, but risk getting a lesser grade.  I am pasting in the transcript I sent to her after her session. (This is a good example of what comes from a session with me.)

The text in blue is directly quoted from DreamMoods.com

As I cleared and connected yesterday, I was surrounded by the colors purple and black and found myself at your Brow Chakra.  While meditating on what message these were bringing, I realized the image had changed to two strands of yarn, one green and one black.  I began writing about the fact that I have been knitting lately and this may have a message for life. Just as in knitting (especially from patterns), there are always choices to be made, but rules that need to be followed for the outcome to be something with meaning to it.  The black and purple colors were a feeling, surrounding me.  If you blend the two, the color will become like the night sky.  Then the yarn strands came into the picture, making it obvious that the blending process isn’t the same.  You can twine two together, but their colors will never blend.  They may go well together, compliment each other, either in monochromatic or opposite ways, but they will never become one color.

This is kind of like the choice you are making regarding your class.  Will the choice make a true blending and become part of the whole, or will it stand out, bringing attention to itself, and perhaps make the end result have less meaning?  Just as well in the opposite way…Standing out and lending a beauty that would not be there otherwise.

Green symbolizes new life.

Green signifies a positive change, good health, growth, fertility, healing, hope, vigor, vitality, peace, and serenity. The appearance of the color may also be a way of telling you to “go ahead”.

Black symbolizes the unknown, the unconscious, danger, mystery, darkness, death, mourning, rejection, hate or malice. The color invites you to delve deeper in your unconscious in order to gain a better understanding of yourself. It also signifies a lack of love and lack of support. More positively, black represents potential and possibilities. It is like a clean or blank slate.

The opposites are very pronounced here, aren’t they?

I opened your Crown and found myself looking at a pure white, knitted (again) bag.  Knitting has meaning for me at the moment and I can see that, in a huge way, it represents how we approach life.  The bag was empty, but full of potential and the need to be filled.  It was a roomy bag, with no flaws, and could expand endlessly.

White represents purity, perfection, peace, innocence, dignity, cleanliness, awareness, and new beginnings. You may be experiencing a reawakening or have a fresh outlook on life.

I moved back to your Brow and began having the feeling of an overabundance of mucus there.  Breathing problems or sinus problems.  This would mean stagnation and the need for movement.  Exercise will assist the lymphatic system and that will help move impurities and negative energies on out.  Then you can think more clearly.

At your Heart, I am seeing all white everywhere.  Then a red heart floating in the middle of it.  It reminds me of the Red Cross emblem.

Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage, impulsiveness and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations. It can also mean you are needing this energy in your life.

I moved to your Solar Plexus and was up on high ground, circling around.

I began shuffling the Tarot deck at your Sacral Chakra and one card fell out.  The IX of Swords.  It speaks of worry and despair, anxiety and depression.  You may be feeling overwhelmed.  I can see that this makes your decision making more difficult for you.  Something that might be easily decided at another time becomes a mountain to climb and you aren’t sure of your footing.  You are dealing with a problematic situation/difficult decision, but your worst fear is unlikely to materialize.  What you are feeling is the aftermath of previous difficult circumstances – classes, work, life.  Don’t lose sleep over this.

I hope you are able to make your choice and know that it will be the right one.  Try meditating on the choice.  Follow through with the decision and see how it feels while you are meditating.  Try both and see what your heart and gut feel like.

Lots of love,
Diana

My friend made the choice to take the more difficult class and I’m happy she is exploring her intuition and using her gut feelings as guides to making choices.  She is extremely happy with her choice.

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.

‘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

We find books and DVD’s and Audio Books at the library for free!  We love listening to the Audio Books during meals and even while we do crafts.

Then the library has other activities going on too.  We are taking advantage of the Knitting Club/Class…for free…and the Signing class…for free…and we will be looking into the Activity times one of the branches has twice a month.

There are also one time programs that are put on.  We want to attend the “Be Kind to Animals” program.
I just made a cute pair of slippers after having learned to knit again.  They are called “Pocket Book Slippers”.  Here’s a photo and the url for you to get the pattern from if you happen to like knitting.  These are very easy and look just like a little pocketbook when you’re done sewing up the two sides.  The size is perfect for my short stubby foot and then stretches out to fit my girls’ long size 9 1/2 feet too without stretching too far and looking ugly.

I had the needles and the worsted already and they cooked up really fast!  The main site I found them at is called Knitting Pattern Central.

My oldest boys are off larping this weekend.  They are having a major battle over in Orlando and we may go see it on Sunday – free except for the gas.  They made their own chain mail by slicing 1″ pvc pipes into 1/8″ rings and then cutting a slit into each so they loop together.  The chest plates are made by cutting 50 gallon blue barrels into about 3″ x 4″ rectangles, rounding, drilling 8 holes in each and then lacing them together.  Yep, long process, but it’s the real thing as in how chain mail has always been made, just not out of plastic.  What a great experience for them.  No photos yet.

Middle son is learning the woodworking trade this summer spending days with his father.

The dogs are happy as can be inside in the air conditioning, as am I, I’ll tell ya.  We had a few days of overcast and rain, which was quite pleasant, but we’re back in the 90′s with high humidity (70+%) after the rains.

I’ve been having a grand time doing Distance Sessions.  It is a most fulfilling acitivity for me, especially as clients share back with me about the readings I provide along with the energy.  I am just as happily surprised as they are and love the positive feedback that results.

All that’s left for me to do is GET SOME EXERCISE!  Right?  Right.  right.

I had a feeling you were going to call!

My tummy hurts the day before a catastrophe happens in the news.

I feel dizzy just before finding out one of my kids is hurt.

My dreams seem so real and I get great ideas for something that has been bothering me.

What can these things be attributed to?  Angels’ whisperings, God’s still small voice, luck, or maybe it’s just one more of your senses doing what it’s supposed to do.

Why not try to accept this sense is real and allow it freedom to practice itself?  Simply observe.  Observe your body’s little tells and start remarking them to yourself.  There are all kinds of places online that will tell you how to develop your dreaming time.  Most of them will stress using a dream journal.  This is a great way to keep track of your body’s messages as well.  Writing down oddnesses or out-of-the-ordinaries will help you have a greater belief level in your sixth sense.  Every sea captain keeps a log.  Ledgers, journals, diaries are all common place ways of keeping track and then going back to find patterns.

Allow yourself some time to meditate on a particular idea or question; keeping a pad and pencil next to you.  I used to worry during distance healing energy sessions that I would lose the connection if I stopped to write.  Not true.  I love to capture the images that come into my mind and then share them with a client.  Most often (although not 100%), the images have some pertinent information that helps with part of life’s trials and questions.  Sometimes the images speed by so quickly that, as soon as I realize there is one, it is gone and I am off seeing another one.  In this case, I try to get a feel for the general message/picture of them all.  The point is that I have to write them down.  Because I do this, I can not only share the images, but see that they really have some substance to them.  I am building my belief level, my foundation and faith base, my trust in myself.

Imagine how much we miss by not developing our skills from childhood.  Why were we not allowed to pursue that which comes naturally?  Lack of knowledge, lack of belief, fear of things we don’t understand, fear from religious propaganda…fear and lack…very negative words.  Can you remember mentioning things to your parents when you were preschool aged?  Our psychic abilities and pre-life memories are lost at about age seven unless they are used and talked about.  This is the age when we become aware of our actions and how they impact the world around us.  We figured out how to manipulate when we were infants.  We found out consequences and could reason through them starting at about age four.  At age seven we begin to start feeling who we are and how we want to be.  Reality has become the concrete that anchors us in this plane.  We have learned to believe our parents and our parents, no doubt wanting to protect us, told us we were imagining things.  No such thing as that little friend, no you’ve never been to that house before, no that man is not a bad man, there’s nothing in that room, they’re just dreams and aren’t real…on and on and on.  I remember all these very well; and the confusion of being told so.  It was all real to me and I had to learn to filter and sift through my reality and make decisions on what to ignore and what to hold onto.  My doubts still persist.

I’m not saying we should fall for or even believe every little thought that flies through our minds, a discerning nature is a great tool, but I am saying we should stop, examine, and make an informed decision as to just how psychic we really are.  It is a very useful sense and can help us make choices in life…who we will marry, where we will live, what foods are best for our particular metabolism.

Another point I’d like to add here is that there are some different ways people tap into their psychic ability and we don’t need to be afraid.  We know that we are only using them as tools to find out what our sense is telling us.  Pendulums are easy access to the sixth sense and subconscious.  Crystal balls, bowls of water, flames…all good ways of scrying – another way of saying meditating.  Dowsing for water or oil, or whatever else you want to try, is just a way of asking the sixth sense to show an answer.

Global Consciousness.  Mass Consciousness.  Inventions happening simultaneously half way around the globe from one another.  Indicators piling up all around us, showing that there is something more and, yes, we can tap into it.  We can use our abilities and we can make a difference.  We can share what we feel through our sixth sense, our psychicness, and not be afraid or embarrassed.  We can be wrong or right and take it as a matter of course.  We don’t have to hide in a closet and wonder what others will say.  Who would argue over what emotion you’re having?  If you say you’re happy, you’re happy.  If you say you have a feeling something is going to happen, you have a feeling.  So it goes.

Am I psychic?  Everyone is.  Ever heard someone say that God put it on their heart to do something?  Is it a sin to use your God given gift?  Nope.  It all boils down to what you do with it.   I am always thankful and eager to find out more about my gift.

I was poking around this evening for a good graphic of the Chakra system to put on my new Chakra page and found two sites that grabbed me. The first one pointed me toward the second one.

I don’t know if you’re interested in this part of the art of healing, but I feel it’s essential information for starting on the healing path, whether it’s for yourself or for others.

“Skeptics of prayer are plentiful, of course, and skepticism should be encouraged in any area of science. However, skepticism can shade into a type of dogmatic materialism that excludes intercessory prayer in principle, as when Newton’s colleagues condemned universal gravity as occult nonsense without weighing the evidence (Mills, 1996). Both true believers and committed disbelievers in intercessory prayer might heed the view of mathematical physicist and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, who co-authored Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell (Whitehead, 1948):

‘The Universe is vast. Nothing is more curious than the self-satisfied dogmatism with which mankind at each period of its history cherishes the delusion of the finality of its existing modes of knowledge. Sceptics and believers are all alike. At this moment scientists and sceptics are the leading dogmatists. Advance in detail is admitted: fundamental novelty is barred. This dogmatic common sense is the death of philosophical adventure. The Universe is vast.’” Larry Dossey, M.D., and Stephan A. Schwartz
