I'm sharing something raw because I was thrown so off balance this evening and my emotional and verbal response was also raw. This is a tough post. But given the kind of work we do and what I teach I feel it's important for me to just share with you. For some background, a year ago the neighbor’s house directly behind us caught fire and was destroyed. One of the neighbors died as a result of his injuries. The survivor is a friend I've known since high school. He and his partner lived in this house for about 25 years. Tonight, I was at our local neighborhood association meeting. I live in a neighborhood of historical homes in a designated historic district. So the regular order of business was going on. And then the topic switches to what's happening with this particular house and “what do we need to do about the house.” As I listened there was no mention of the owners. There was no recognition of the complete destruction of their life and the death of my friend, And this anger started to build inside me as this neighborhood association was talking about city rules and regulations about what could be done or could not be done with what's left of this historical home. People were making comments and I knew I had to say something. So when I had the microphone I told them in advance you are not going to like what I have to say. And I basically pulled the rug on their association BS. I could see the shock in their faces. But I had to say my piece. For me it felt so out of Integrity to stay silent and so I let it out and let it be known what I thought of their narrow-minded conversation about this house without any mention of the owners. I don't think I've gone off like that in public in decades but I was boiling on the inside. I'm sharing this with you because sometimes you do not have to hold it together. Sometimes it's not the best course of action to hold it together. Sometimes you just have to let it out and let that energy go where it needs to go and say what it needs to say and then be done with it. It wasn't pretty, I know that. My body was shaking afterwards and it took me several hours to ground and settle down because I was so pissed off.

When we focus on our balance and harmony, we can begin to see patterns that are in the way. From there we can choose what to do to change the patterns so we can free ourselves. As you go about your day, look at where these patterns are blocking you. Check to see what patterns are interfering with your boundaries. See if you can bring an awareness that is free of judgment to the patterns. Then use the tools we have to ground and reset the boundaries while releasing the patterns with love and compassion.

Thanks to those of you who have joined for the Healers Challenge Live sessions. We are really having great conversations and focusing on the work of each day of the challenge. It's been so helpful for me. For example - today we went through Day 5 - Grounding. And it was excactly what I needed, because my day started off balance and I was ungrounded for a good while in the morning. Sharing about this in the live session helped me to see how important this work is when we apply it and use it for our healing. When we use these tools, we can get back to center and grounding ourselves without getting so far off track that it takes way more energy to get back to ourselves! If your schedule works please join us for the next Live session on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Be sure and check the calendar for sessions and the link to join.

So we ended another week. This past week was a very different week for me. I was in family mode most of last week and it took lots of energy to maintain the boundaries for me. Thankfully I had the bio magnetism class on Saturday and that helped me so much to reset and refocus my energy. We had a powerful New Moon on April 17th and the energy was really ramped up! How are you affected by moon energy? Are any of you following the moon cycles for projects or other activities. the New Moon of course an awesome time for new beginnings and starting projects as we use the power of the waxing moon between the New Moon and the Full Moon on May 1st (there are 2 full moons in May!)

Now, as you use the sacred healing audios and the sacred daily practices, reflect on the progress you've made and how it's starting to impact your life. Are you stronger now with your healing gift? Are you waiting for something to give you a sign that it's okay to start? How does naming and claiming your gift change the way the world looks to you? What do you want to share or talk about as you move forward?
