Be the Harmony

Was Spock Lucid Dreaming?

The latest STAR TREK movie with the new young cast and 78-year old Leonard Nimoy as "Future" Spock is a big, fun statement about the power of reframing your thinking and not only changing your world, but healing it too.

SPOILER Alert: If you have not yet seen the movie, you may want to read this after you've seen it.

In the movie, Future Spock (Leonard Nimoy) meets and helps Young James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and certain history that includes Young Spock gets rewritten. How can this be possible? Of course in the movies anything is possible. (Can Future Spock be interchanged with Present Moment Spock, and the same with Young Spock and Past Spock? Food for thought.) In reality, it is possible to rewrite and reframe your past. Lucid dreaming, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) psychology, hypnotherapy, Holotropic® Breathwork, Rebirthing, Recapitulation, and Shamanic Journeying are some excellent therapeutic options available for changing your past.

Sitting in a therapist’s office with your psychotherapist inviting you to imagine the pillow in the opposite chair is your father and now you get to say whatever you didn’t get to say when you were a child, is another way to fix your past. However you choose, it can be done and the experience of consciously reframing or repicturing your past unburdens and releases healing energies.

During this film I had the sense that Future Spock had already experienced some not so comfortable things in his life that he wished to "correct." If he could (and he could), let him dream them differently, healthier, with lighter outcomes. There are a few clues for me that Spock was lucid dreaming or reframing his past. Future Spock could also have been on a shamanic healing journey because when Young James Kirk meets Future Spock, Future Spock is in a cave on a distant planet. Caves have been a part of shamanic healing for thousands of years.  And Future Spock meets and has a conversation about "cheating or lying" with Young Spock. How cool is that to share your wisdom with your younger self?!

Here are some hints to Spock’s lucid dream shift. First, after trying to rein in his explosive emotions of sadness and anger at losing his mother and watching his planet of 6 billion people disintegrate, Young Spock finally loses it and realizes he is not fit to lead. If you remember, Future Spock coached Young Kirk to help Young Spock let go. Hint #1.

Secondly, Young Spock is in a romantic relationship with Uhuru. This is something new for Spock. It suggests that Young Spock was adventuring beyond the rigidity of his Vulcan training. Hint #2. Thirdly, during Young Spock’s conflicted life being of mixed race Vulcan and Human, his father tells him that he never really loved his mother. What a way to toughen up a young boy who is devoted to his mother. After Young Spock has his emotional breakdown (a good thing by the way, in terms of healing), his father fesses up and tells him that he married Spock’s mother because he loved her. (Big healing moment here!) Hint #3.

The final clue for me that Future Spock was reframing and actually recreating his past into something new (and I could be totally making this one up because it happened so fast) is that Future Spock from some far off land, smiles and says something like “Forward thrusters” and in the next moment Young Captain Kirk on the USS Enterprise in a totally different location says the exact words, “Forward thrusters” as the Enterprise engages on its next journey. Hint #4.

Anyway, something to consider. Reframing, recreating, changing and healing your past is possible, and can be a good thing for your health and well being. Spock did it with wise bravado. Of course remember, when you are doing your emotional release and reframing work, you can add energy healing self-help in the form of Healing Touch Quick Steps, such as the Quick Step called Dancing Moderator and Emotional Balance to aid in your recovery to wholeness. See the latest STAR TREK movie and come to your own conclusions. Have fun!

Take care. Take great self-care.

Many blessings,

A Spiritual Pandemic - Message from the Elders

Dear Friends,

I thought you might be interested in this point of view from the Mayan Elders. I resonate with this information in that I, too, feel we are rapidly evolving beyond the old ways. Take care. Take great self-care.

Many blessings,

A letter to humanity from The Star Elders
through Aluna Joy April 23rd. 2009

Pandemic! What a great and powerful word to awaken humanity to the fact that the collective is now thinking globally and acting locally. It is remarkable that something as simple as the fear of a little germ can link together the people of Earth. Humanity has taken another step toward being a global community. There is no doubt now that you have anchored within your consciousness the reality that you are all connected, interdependent and recognize the importance of being self-responsible. This is not a time to fear. It is a time to celebrate.

Your collective experience and explorations living in the third dimension have come full circle. This is a time where you will begin to rethink and renegotiate everything. Much of what you knew to be true you will discover is out of date. Realities that you dreamed about you will soon discover is the new reality you are now entering. These current times are causing a spiritual pandemic. This means that the boundaries between physical realities, cultures, religions, dimensions, social statuses and educational levels have been compromised and are breaking down. This spiritual pandemic means the entire world is waking up. Humanity is moving toward unity and oneness with all living beings of Earth. This spiritual pandemic will naturally evolve all life into a global community. Our actions will be a grand orchestrated collaboration focused on the well being of all living things. You can see symptoms of this transformation in every direction of your reality. This is the completion of ancient prophecy that you wrote about a long time ago.

The pandemics in your Earth's environment, your economic systems, your political systems, your consciousness, your physical realities and even your immune systems are morphing right before your eyes. You are now having a full on experience of what we like to call the Earth's stimulus package. You share the same planet . . . you breathe the same air . . . you even share the same viruses and bacteria! This is not new. You were never separate from each other. You just forgot you were always connected to all that lives.

The Earth's shifting environment is stimulating you to change the way you interact with Earth, the solar system, and the universe. This is showing up as the acceleration of using green technologies . . . including using solar power to recycling. Many of you are getting closer and in touch with Earth once again. Your gardens are sprouting in your environment, but also your internal gardens are flourishing.

Your shifting global economic system is impelling you to move toward one that is based on service and sharing. You will see a huge shift in values. You are evolving from a self-centered "What is in it for Me?" mentality, into a reality that you act from the knowing that you are a part of a global community. You recognize that everything you do affects every other living thing.

These times are compelling you to trust spirit over your physical and monetary assets. You were never meant to trust that which is outside of yourself. Your true nature is knowing that you are a 100%, self-contained, creative being with all the tools needed to live abundantly. It was never your destiny to toil to make a living. There is freedom right out in front of you.

Your physical body is morphing so quickly to the arrival of the new energy that you have to let go and let it be. This is causing you a lot of strange physical symptoms. The shifts are coming without delay and it takes your breath away. Even your immune system is evolving quickly so as to be able to adapt to the evolving energy of all life on the planet. Every single living thing in your environment is changing on a molecular level. From your body, to the earth, trees and plants, minerals, even viruses and bacteria are all evolving together to stay in harmony. This is not something to be feared. It is something to be excited about. Remember your body is an amazing self-healing vehicle. You constantly underestimate its regenerative power and forget it is evolving with everything else on this Earth. Disease is not why you drop your body to move on; it is just your human excuse. You leave this world when you have completed your mission and that is it. Let us remind you that you are not done yet!

Your consciousness is expanding to accept the utter vastness of magical and powerful new realities. You are beginning to live within these realities. You are enjoying the challenges and wholeheartedly except the huge void of unqualified energy out in front of you. It is an exciting, fascinating and highly creative time for you. It can also be a confusing time as you let go of the old and bring in the new all at the same time. Remember you are not going crazy . . . you are just waking up! This is something to celebrate. You are beginning to realize that the only way your life flows in these days is to be truly authentic to yourself and true to your heart. Many of you will be asked to make bold moves in your life. Others will stay more behind-the-scenes fine-tuning everything around them. You all are working toward the same goal . . . if you know it or not.

Do not let fear rob you of this incredible moment. This is why you came to Earth at this time. You are experiencing a huge evolutionary leap of the soul. Only the brave and courageous could be here at this time. You may not feel brave today, but we assure you, you are incredibly brave to take on and assist with the Earth's final step into oneness with the solar system and our multi-dimensional universe.

Do not let fear of global health issues, political unrest, economic challenges, war and terrorism stop you from being the truth of who you are. Your old, outdated, human nature naturally wants to cast blame on others for what is going on in your world today. This is not a conspiracy or diabolical plan by members of an elite group who we think are in power. This is propaganda that puts you in fear. Know that everything that is happening on this planet is happening because you allowed it to be so. It is a time to take full responsibility for the reality we have manifested in this dimension. Each living being will experience this evolution based on their own belief system. Ask yourself "What do you believe today?" All the issues your world is facing right now are just part of the Earth's stimulus package to help you stimulate your evolution . . . and it is working.

Evolution is a messy process. It always has been and always will be. Change and evolution is about tearing down the old and creating the new. Nature does this every moment. We do not know why humanity forgot that you are a part of this. But you did, and this is why you struggle and suffer sometimes during evolutionary pulses like the one you are in today. The cycles have come full circle and you are ready for the quantum leap to a new reality.

Remember that the best defense to the challenges of these times is to have a good offense. Your offense is acting from the authenticity of who you are. You may know this as your inner light, awareness, consciousness, etc…, but the fact is that there are only two choices you can make: You can choose fear, which is a lie and not who you are. Or you can choose LOVE, which is the truth of who you are, and you can keep on keeping on with the evolution. Fear will stop your evolution in its tracks. Love will not only accelerate your path, but it will make it an exciting adventure for you. Be positive, fearless and bold. Love is the unifier of all life and a protector of anything that you conceive could cause you harm. You are safe . . . you always have been.

Quit pretending your cool and calm on the outside, when on the inside you feel like you are going crazy. Let your support groups around you know what you are going through. We assure you that they are feeling the same things. It is insane to execute this evolving by yourself. There is a great sanity gained when our extended families come together in support of each other. It is another step toward global community and living in non-judgment. Remember there is an insidious, un-spoken rule that to be spiritual we must honey-coat the things we do not like. Honey-coating any part of the experience of this world is just a way to avoid the blessings and gifts of evolution of the current issue. When we avoid different aspects of our experience, we are also judging the greater divine plan that was set into motion by the Creator and our collective consciousness.

When you experience a peaceful moment, drink it in and enjoy every second of it. Do not worry that you are feeling stuck or not evolving. This is merely a rest stop so you can recharge and prepare for another leap into the next reality. Rest is good. Enjoy its rare and welcomed appearance of quiet and calmness.

There are many that will not like this message. They will criticize it and fight against it. These are the ones who teach us compassion. These are the ones that we must love and support . . . because you have been in their shoes more than once or twice yourself.

We realize that what we are asking you to do is a huge step of faith. We are asking you to take a leap into a void where you cannot see its destination. We are invite encourage you to put your fear addictions behind you, and to begin to act from the love and truth that you already know in your heart. If you do this, the path will unfold in front of you with each step you take, and you will be traveling in good company!

We are always here with you.

CEO of the Brain is Knocked Out by Stress

Stress causes a body serious harm. Researchers have already told us that stress can damage the heart by increasing the risks for high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

According to Dr. Gary Kaplan, a Long Island neurologist in the September 30, 2005 article from CanWest News Service called: Job stress takes its toll on the brain,“High stress, long hours, bad diet (fast food) in the workplace also takes a terrible toll on the brain.”

Dr. Kaplan says that the area of the brain most affected by stress is the prefrontal cortex. That’s in the front of the head behind the forehead. Here is the disturbing message. “Brain imaging and behavioral studies show that the so-called CEO of the brain, which regulates judgment, planning, problem-solving, decision making, moral reasoning and sense of self, is actually knocked out by stress.” The main controller of the brain is actually knocked out by stress.

In that same article, another expert, Fred Travis says, “If you are under constant stress, your brain is rewiring to just deal with surface facts.” It can’t handle anything else. He says, “Over time, the body’s natural feedback mechanisms break down, so even when you’re not in a stressful situation your body’s activation remains permanently on and at a higher level.” The fight or flight response in the body to stress causes a form of tunnel vision that actually takes the prefrontal cortex of the brain offline causing people to be unable to plan ahead or make far reaching decisions, which are a function of the prefrontal cortex.

Have you ever gone to the emergency room at the hospital because of an anxiety attack, feeling you were going to fall apart or that you were too afraid to take a shower because you felt you might fall apart or have a heart attack? Yes, this is stress to an extreme. If you are someone who has difficulty making decisions or you’ve lost your sense of self because of stress, if you are having trouble seeing the Big Picture, consider that it may be because of compounded stress and that you have actually rewired that part of your brain.

Energy healing self-help such as Healing Touch Quick Steps may be an easy way to support the return your brain functions to a harmonic state of wholeness. One simple Quick Step that has been known to influence healthy brain functions is called Calms Nervous System, and another Quick Step is called Waist Up-Waist Down Harmony. From the application of one or two of the Healing Touch Quick Steps mentioned here you may begin to notice a clearing of your mind, maybe even a sense of feeling energized, relaxed and alert at the same time, all from the reducing and melting away stress. This is important because no matter what kind of a day you had at work or at home, you may instantly tap into perfect harmony and rewire your brain to get yourself back on track.

Remember the Healing Touch Quick Steps do not replace, treat, diagnose, prescribe or cure. They may simply help you become clear about how best to help yourself in any moment with any conventional medicine including getting yourself to a hospital if that is what you need. Be well.

Take care. Take great self-care.

Many blessings,

Barbara J. Semple

What is Harmony?

What is harmony and what are you doing when you harmonize something like an emotion, for example, fear?

Well, first let’s look at the word ‘harmony.” Even if you are not sure what harmony is, you have a sense of what it is NOT. Layoffs, can't afford health care, can't pay mortgage, lost house, homeless, lost savings - These are plenty of deep survival issues about which you can feel fearful, and they say that something is out of balance. Feeling out of balance is NOT harmony.

What if you look at world events, fear or anything - anything at all - as simply energy? What if your pain or discomfort is a stuck or wacky energy response experience? Certainly recovering from a bout of fear seems more attainable than fixing the world economy. Energies of fear, loss, sadness, hopelessness, frustration and anger may very well be encouraged into a sense of order and comfort with energy healing self-help. This is important because in spite of all the disturbances occurring in and around your world, harmony is occurring all over the place too! We exist in an ocean of harmony. Yes, "doo doo" happens, AND there is mostly harmony. Harmony you have some control over invoking.

Define harmony: ‘an agreement; accord; a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts.’ In other words, harmony can mean that various parts, relationships, and interactions are all getting along well together. Thus, harmonizing is an activity or movement of energy that causes harmony or accordance or a pleasing arrangement of parts to exist.

Consider this. You have billions of interactions and relationships taking place within your body as well as your outer world every second; yes every second. For instance relationships with family, friends, pets, co-workers, at church, as well as your thoughts, feelings and actions all need to comfortably “get along with one another” for you to experience a sense of balance or stability in any given moment. Your body, for example, has hundreds of millions of cells, thousands and thousands of special body tasks and unique organ function details that are all interconnected and basically do relate pretty well together. This is important because paying some attention to your personal harmony will most certainly influence subtle and not so subtle occurrences in your life. When you feel peace and tranquility, everything and everyone around you may know it too.

Harmony is unique to you. To you it may mean stress relieved, immune system boosted, muscles toned, elimination and digestion improved, circulation increased, or that often debilitating emotion called fear disarmed. Harmony is also less specific. For me it is a state of being in an effortless ease, grace and joy; an uplifting flow my body and soul rhythms synchronized with Nature’s rhythms.

“Why synchronize with Nature with all of the changing weather patterns, tsunamis, hurricanes, wildness and unpredictability?” you might ask. Well the fact is you cannot separate yourself from Nature. Your body is an exquisite articulation of Nature. You are part of a Unified Field of Consciousness or Web of Life with a Source, Creative Intelligence energy in action, continuously animating and creating life. You always get to choose participating with instead of against your natural state of being. Healing Touch Quick Steps energy healing self-help is one way to support your alignment with Nature. It doesn’t mean “doo doo” will never happen. “Doo doo” still happens only now you handle it gracefully because you’re connected with “Big Picture” harmony. Ah.

What is fear doing to your body? When you stand in fear, your energy descends and cannot rise. Have you ever been so scared that you felt you might poop your pants? That is what fear does in an extreme case in the body of energy descending. This is important because it is your universal life force energy freely rising up the back of the body that brings in vitality. Harmonizing fear then has something to do with urging your body’s natural system of healing to rise up the back. Energy not rising = no vitality. No vitality = Destruction of health. This is important because when fear is harmonized, you are able to relax and receive nourishing life force to live your life well. Ah.

Harmonize fear now. Hold your index finger. Wrap your thumb and fingers around your index finger and gently, I do mean gently, be with your body's natural system of healing. Relax your arms, fingers and hands. Holding your index finger is tapping into Source energy. How great is that?

What this all means for you is that you have options in addition to conventional medical care to help your self align with harmonious forces of Nature by applying Healing Touch Quick Steps. Paying attention is where it all begins to change.

When you do not feel strong enough or healthy enough and fear overwhelms you, take it easy for the moment. Even when you are perfectly healthy, fear still creeps in. Whatever is going on, whenever fear comes forth, disarm it as smoothly as water sliding off a duck’s back by gently holding your index finger for a while and then hold the other index finger too. Hold it all day long if you need to. Sit in your rocking chair and hold your index finger. You are actively choosing to regain harmony. Watch your energy shift. Think about that ocean of harmony that is occurring all around you right now. Your natural state of being is peace and harmony. Ah.

Take care. Take great self care.Many blessings,

Barbara

GO GREEN - Make every day Earth Day for healing the body and soul.

Earth Day is coming up soon. You can gracefully make every day Earth Day for healing the body and soul with Healing Touch Quick Steps energy self-help. GO Green by preserving your own natural resources.

“Going Green” according to Wikipedia.com means an environmental social movement, and someone who “Goes Green” is defined as an environmentalist. An environmentalist is “a person who may advocate the sustainable management of resources and stewardship of the natural environment through changes in public policy or individual behavior.” Your body’s natural system of healing is your best resource. One way you, the body and soul environmentalist can take care of this resource is to reduce stress. No big surprise here. You have the power of Nature within you, literally at your fingertips, to preserve, defend and protect your body’s natural “resources.”

Nature is wholeness. Within this interconnected web of life, the body and our environment are explicitly related and both have renewable and sustainable resources. Some of the original “environmentalists” were advocating maintainable practices as far back as approximately 25,000 BCE. These early humans may also have been the first “deep ecologists” who believed in living life in accordance with Nature. The rhythms and movements of the Sun, Moon, equinoxes, four seasons, four elements, days, hours and nights intimately affected them. Archeological specimens in the form of pottery, statues, cave paintings and rock carvings have been found all over the world, where humans homesteaded as well as from their patterns of traveling for the best grazing and other clues to their daily human activities. Our human ancestors considered the life giving cycles of Nature sacred.

One of the most remarkable findings of a human being aligning her body with Nature is a carving at the entrance to a cave in Laussel, France of a woman with one hand on her abdomen, while holding an animal horn with 13 notches etched into it in her other hand, explaining her body’s relationship to the 13 moons of an annual lunar cycle, the natural world. This carving is dated to approximately 25,000 BCE!

Dr. Deepak Chopra says, “Theoretically, if you were totally aligned with the cosmos, if you were in total harmony with its rhythms, and if you had zero stress, then there would be very little entropy in your body. Your body wouldn’t age if you were totally synchronized with the cycles of the universe. If it did undergo entropy, it would be on the scale of the universe, which is cosmic cycles or eons of time.” The word “natural” comes from the word Nature. Nature does not have a mind that gets busy and crazy like we do. Look at the birds. Do they ever look stressed? Even in a snowstorm or on a blustery day, do they act stressed? Nope. Nature is a visible, palpable expression of who you and I are when we get out of our heads and centered in our hearts of unity.

You can influence your natural healing system harmoniously as well as harmfully. Stress is a major harming influence to your wellbeing. For example, scientists have found that your high stress job permanently rewires your brain and literally impedes your ability to make decisions and have a sense of self. When you think of everything as energy albeit some of it “stuck,” then what experts comprehend as permanent really isn’t. There are ways with energy self-help to recover your sense of self and your brain harmony again.

What about your body’s global warming? A simple self help called Healing Touch Quick Steps has been known to cool down the body, say from hot flashes or being in a sauna too long. By placing one hand on your elbow crease and the other hand on your opposite front bottom rib, a body elegantly responds.

Remember, your body’s natural system of healing is your best resource. Be your own “body and soul environmentalist.” Make every day Earth Day with easy energy healing self-help. Knowing how to bring your body-mind into harmony is a perfect way to preserve your personal natural resources. GO GREEN!

Natural Weight Loss - Free Energy Healing Self-Help

I know it is that time of year again when everyone is thinking about weight loss. Is it because Valentine's Day is coming up and everyone wants to fall in love? Is it because we've let ourselves go and with the new year we get to start fresh again? Whatever your reason and whatever you decide to do to reach your perfect weight balance, consider adding Healing Touch Quick Steps energy healing self-help to your new healthy habits. This energy healing self-help is always complementary, always beneficial.

Why bother with energy healing self-help while doing your weight loss program? Because taking care of your energies - physically, mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually - is a holistic way to do weight loss. Your whole being, not just your physical body, are engaged when you change your diet, eat different foods, increase exercise, change your sleep habits, or withdraw from sugar or salt, for example. Healing Touch Quick Steps support you in a holistic, natural, healthy way.

Here are 3 Healing Touch Quick Steps to help you increase your chances for a successful weight loss naturally. How great is that?

#1 - Healing Touch Quick Step called The Complete Breath Hug:

To apply The Complete Breath Hug simply cross your arms in front of you and place your fingertips in your opposite underarms. Your thumbs are resting flatly on your chest. Now simply drop your shoulders, relax your arms, hands and fingers and count 36 of your exhales. That's it. The Complete Breath Hug may help body ridding the body of accumulations, physical, emotional, mental - whatever the body has held on to, and helps get the lymphatic system going for natural detoxifying energy. 

Did you know that every thought, word and deed begins circulating with your breath and finishes its circulation through your entire body 360 breaths later? Amazing isn't it? So, breathe new life into your  weight balance habit with The Complete Breath Hug. And, for more details about The Complete Breath Hug, see the Healing Touch Quick Steps HOME GUIDE.

#2 - Healing Touch Quick Step called Healthy Boundaries:

To apply Healthy Boundaries place your fingertips on one of your cheekbones. At the same time, place your other hand fingertips on that same side collarbone. in other words, same side cheekbone and the same side of your body collarbone. Healthy Boundaries can help with all kinds of boundaries – emotional, mental, and physical - anything that has to do with your “personal container,” which includes your skin surface containment, as well as a few big ones like self-consciousness, overly critical behavior, sweet cravings, self-protection and feeling secure in your body. 

Did you know that psychologists have said that an over-weight person may be subconsciously feeling a need to protect oneself by literally adding extra weight on the body to hide the true self? Healthy Boundaries energy self-help helps with awakening a natural harmony of your perfect weight balance by helping the unconscious parts of the body-mind too.

#3 - Healing Touch Quick Step called Muscle Tone and Weight Balance:

To apply this energy self-help simply sit on your hands. That's right, simply sit on your hands. Sit comfortably preferably with a soft pillow underneath, hands flat, shoulders, arms, fingers, hands and wrists relaxed without any feelings of discomfort. A teacher of mine says sitting on your hands like this for 20 minutes helps the whole body's natural regenerating ability really kick into action as well as improving your metabolism. Quietly regenerate your whole body while changing your eating habits or doing whatever you are doing as part of your weight loss routine. How many weight loss programs offer that marvelous benefit? Empower yourself today.

Healing Touch Quick Steps energy healing self-help is a fabulous way to complement your weight loss, weight balance program. Remember, weight balance may not be the same as weight loss. Your healthy weight may be different than what your emotional body thinks your weight should be. Be good to yourself. You deserve it.

Heat Exhaustion Can Be Deadly. Cool Down with Healing Touch Quick Steps

Elderly people and saunas. Sounds like a crazy thing to be talking about in the deepest, coldest part of winter with Arctic blizzards occurring and way below freezing temperatures outside in Northern Hemispheric places, unless you frequent a sauna. This is a short article about using a specific Healing Touch Quick Step to help clear heat out of the body fairly quickly.

Last week while exercising in the pool at the local fitness center, I saw an elderly man stagger out of the sauna and almost fall into the jacuzzi. Every part of his body that was visible - legs, arms, chest, face, head -  was an evenly bright red. He looked like someone had painted him fire engine red. I happened to know the man and began engaging him in conversation to see if he was all right. His life force was so shallow that he spoke very faintly. He was not all right.

He was sitting in a chair near the pool and was acting agitated. He could not get comfortable. He put his head in his hands and bent over. Then he tried to cover his head with his towel and he put his head back down in his lap.

I felt intuitively that he needed to get his body cooled down as quickly as possible. I exited the pool and calmly walked over to him. I looked around for the fitness center attendant. I didn't see her. There was one other person in the pool area with me, a student of mine actually. I felt it important to stay with the man, my friend. All of this was happening very fast. I did not know until I did a Google search later at home that heat exhaustion and heat stroke can actually cause organ failure and death.

I had been in the pool for 24 minutes when the man walked out of the sauna. He was in a 179 degree extreme heat environment, engaged in an interesting conversation with someone. He lost track of time. He'd been in for 30 minutes or more, and he was a man in his 70's.

I carried a wastebasket and a box of tissues to him in case he might vomit. He needed to blow his nose. I asked if I could get him some cool water. He had a water bottle close by that in his weakened state he could not pick up by himself. I helped him sip water.

I asked if I could help cool down his body. He said yes. I asked if I could place my hands on him. He said yes. First I gently touched his elbow, and placed my other hand on his opposite front rib so he could feel where to place his hands. I took a step back from him and applied the same Healing Quick Step to myself so that he could see what I was doing. So he didn't have to figure anything out. The man mimicked what I was doing and placed his fingertips on his elbow and other hand on his opposite bottom rib. Within about 15 seconds (all the while he was talking softly about the delightful conversation he'd just had with an interesting fellow in the sauna) he said: "Oh my dear I am suddenly feeling better," exhaled and smiled. He continued to hold his elbow and opposite bottom rib for maybe 5 minutes (I continued to hold mine too) and then I suggested "we" switch sides and do the other elbow and opposite rib for good measure. We did that.

I stayed with the man for about 10 minutes. The first clue to his body responding positively to the therapeutic healing touch was when I heard him say he was suddenly feeling better. That was a fairly instant clue. Both the other woman in the pool and I continued to witness in amazement as the redness literally began to leave his body from the top of his face descending all the way down his face! One part of his face was now white, natural skin tone and there was a perfect horizontal dividing line across his face where the natural skin tone filled in and the red color was vanishing. It seemed so surreal, as though his body was a bottle of red water and the red liquid  was somehow effortlessly emptying itself out of this man's face and down the front of his body in a perfectly measured way, like the redness was being pulled out of his "container" from the bottoms of his feet. His skin tone went from complete red to normal skin tone before our very eyes! The sound of his voice becoming stronger, and the man becoming more present also told me that his life force was coming out of its critical need.

I am always in awe at the seeming miracles I observe in others as well as myself with these energy healing quick steps.

Now of course, Healing Touch Quick Steps do not replace emergency medical care. The fitness center attendant, who was also an emergency medical tech, came in minutes later. And, by the time she had arrived, this man was markedly on the track of cooler health again. And I heard later that the man was back at the sauna every day after that, only this time for much less time. I thought to myself, he is acting as though nothing ever happened. Did he receive help that was that good? I do not know. I think I would have stayed out of the sauna for at least a few days. And, every person's harmony is different.

So for future reference, you will find in your own Healing Touch Quick Steps HOME GUIDE, which you can purchase at my website if you do not already have one, the Healing Touch Quick Step for cooling the body that we did to help this man is called Uplifts, Brings Vitality, Recharges Heart.

Happy Solstice. Stay warm but not extreme heat for long periods of time.
Take care. Take great self-care.

Obama Non-Supporter Responds

An Obama non-supporter has responded to my article about a global soul movement coinciding with the election of Barrack Obama.

ASG writes: "What about those of us that stayed in alignment with our truths and were not supporters of Obama?"

That enlivened my own inner dialog, which I respectfully sent back to ASG.

"I believe all is in divine order and that the dynamic of President-Elect Obama is not an isolated thing for democrats only. All parts (individuals, states, countries, continents) have opportunities to participate in wholeness, which means more light shining everywhere, more opportunities for healing, cleansing, coming into greater wholeness rather than separated. What matters is that there is a new opportunity for movement on a Cosmic and global scale. Venus, Jupiter, all celestial movements are all much bigger than any American election. Staying in alignment with your truth is more important than anything happening with an election. I expect you will probably notice gifts in the global energy movement as well as yourself as this "God drama" unfolds.   Thank you for commenting. I was thinking with compassion of others who may not have been Obama supporters when I wrote the article. The soul always chooses the fastest path to awakening. And these are definitely challenging times on many levels. My purpose is to remind folks that no matter where you are in your life process and no matter what is going on in the outside world, you always have the ability to tap into your body's natural system of healing, to adjust your sails even when you do not have control over the Wind, so to speak, and to bring your being into harmony.  Thank you again for commenting. Respectfully submitted with blessings, Barbara"

ASG responded. "Barbara, All is divine order.  Hitler was divine order.  His eyes were the same as Jesus'. Within all order are choices.  I am neither party but trust my own guidance. My gut has an uneasiness about Obama.  One world order.  FEMA concentrations camps.  He is a heavy smoker.  What does that do to his heart?  When there is critical mass the decisions are made on the tide that they are able to create.  Out of innocence maybe, out of ignorance probably.  Wanting change most likely.  I sincerely hope that he is about to harness the revelry around him and stand in a more divine truth.  What I feel is that we are to crumble.  Old structure out and new in.  The variables are how low do we need to go before we as a species and consciousness on the planet bring ourselves into an alignment with all known creation.  I don't see Obama as a conscious individual.  Maybe with enough Baptisms he will become so.  It is not the planet that is in peril, it is humankind as we know it.

Individual focus and alignment with ones own self is the route that seems the safest.  Then indeed it doesn't matter who is in power and power it is.  Hopefully, the work of the 80's and 90's have prepared enough of us to stand in our truths to be downloaded with information and abilities to not only help ourselves but others. May you always follow your guidance to express yourself, ASG."

Deeper feelings emerged from within me for which I am grateful to ASG for having stimulated. Here is my response.

Thank you for your reply. If I did not know in the deepest part of my being that there is more to me (each of us) than what appears to be physical, I would have given up a long time ago. From my own experiences over many years of struggling with physical challenges I have come to know a deep Truth. I am in relationship with IT always. And, I came to know IT (Infinite Truth) exactly because of my challenges with physical health. I am very sure that I am not the only one to have come to a deep knowing from physical pain and suffering. That is why I am so passionate about those who are searching, ready, willing and able to, connecting with the Divine Spirit, or as Eckhart Tolle calls it, "The Consciousness that is inhabiting this body" that is not the subconscious or ego or anything really physical at all. I feel that Divine Spirit, Infinite Truth to be Source of all Sources. Source is bigger than anything physical.  

I also feel that there is nothing to be downloaded to us. We are created in the image and likeness. Many just don't know it yet. When we need the next level of information and abilities, they will appear the same way that we knew how to breathe in water before we were born and the moment we needed to breathe in air, we were able to do so instantly.

 

I understand Obama is not perfect. Just as I understand that if GW and team had not been exactly as they had been, there would not now be a global movement of souls who are choosing a better world. It is not about Obama. It is on a much bigger scale, which is where I do my best to remember to be. And I feel you are right, individual focus and alignment with one's self is not only the safest route, it is the only route. Our job is to be and to radiate as much Light (Consciousness, Divine Intelligence) and Love (Cosmic, Unconditional Love) as we can, which is naturally generated from Within in endless supply when we are free from stress and constrictive, negative thoughts. We know what needs to be done to keep our connection with Source happily flowing through and around us. And, it is the conditions (upbringing, learned behaviors, past lives memories, subconscious, etc.) of our physical realm that can control us when we let them. I know I must be vigilant. We always have free will to choose in any given moment - Do we choose what nourishes and nurtures our Light and Love, or do we choose that which destroys? We can only choose for our self. And others doing the same.

 

I feel that everything we witness (as the Bigger Self, Observer) playing out in our country and the world is not what is real, only opportunities for each person again and again to make choices for Wholeness. One person having the power to kill hundreds of thousands of people for sure is an aberration with deep seated emotional disturbances, and it was in Divine Order for that moment. (I am the first to say that I do not always know the reason for anything. Hindsight has told me that every opportunity has awakened more and more humans that war and killing are not the answer to harmony. And. I do remember in the Bhagavad Ghita Krishna telling Arjuna that he had to fight because it was only through being in the physical realm that he could know the wisdom of the whole. So...) And, similar Hitlers have existed since the beginning of human beings on Earth. So it cannot be about a Hitler or an Obama. Obama even says it's not about him. That is why I mentioned in my blog article about millions of people exhaling at the same time. That was a Cosmic Moment of millions literally expressing with their breath something specific. Every person choosing Love over hate benefits the Whole. That is what celestial movements remind us. Little human is not the center of the Universe, and what little human chooses to do, think, say and feel, has an influence on everything else in the Unified Field of Consciousness. Good thing there are safeguards just like there are safeguards in the body and safeguards in the electrical system of your house (circuit breaker) that can isolate the harm to a certain extent. Again my job and every other person's job, is to be in alignment with our Infinite Truth and live from there as much as possible. Then we don't overload our personal system or any exponential system out from that. Right now we have tons and tons of opportunities to choose compassion and light over criticism and whatever. Senses of fear and disturbance within myself are where I must do the healing work. That is where Krishna might say to Arjuna, "Look at the disturbance, fight it if you have to, and from there you will gain the greater wisdom." Thank goodness for these body messages that say "Please help me come into balance."

 

Thank you so much for sparking this dialog within myself and that I may share it with you. Sometimes it is good for me to go beyond what I feel to observe and be inclusive of other viewpoints. Thank you for being that for me on this subject. Many blessings, Barbara."

Take care. Take great self-care.

Secret Way to Harmonize Fear

It's time to weigh in on the subject of fear. And give you a little secret way to harmonize it.

Layoffs, can't afford health care, can't pay mortgage, lost house, homeless, lost savings - There are plenty of very deep survival issues to feel fearful about these days. As usual I am looking at the world events as energy as if it were my client. What energies are going on here and is there anything positive? Yes, harmony is all over the place! Yes, "doo doo" is still happening, AND there is harmony too - Harmony you have some control over invoking. 

Currently there are major Cosmic Forces at work in the night's sky to temper so to speak all of the fear "doo doo" that is currently right at the surface of collective consciousness (meaning a lot of people are dealing with this)  to be released, dissolved and let go of. My suggestion for my self is to keep letting it go. Keep raising my vibrations by being in Nature, the part that is not connected to the lowly mind (god bless it), and applying my energy healing self-help.

If you look in the night sky right after sunset, you will be seeing since November 1, a great influential movement of Jupiter and Venus and then a triangulation with the Moon. Jupiter is all about soul movement, expansion, transformation. In the physio (body)-philosophy of Jin Shin Jyutsu® healing art, Jupiter rules the Liver-Gall Bladder forces, the Key/Quintessence element. It is the Divine Intelligence that binds the soul to the body. That's how big Jupiter's influence is in the body. And Venus, is all about the breath, order, beauty, love, relationship, harmony. In our body, Venus rules the Lung-Large Intestine processes (receiving and letting go, inhaling and exhaling). Another very big influence going on now with Venus having just risen from the underworld last month victorious. And, enter the Moon, waxing Moon, all about feelings, emotions. Big.

What does this all mean to you? It means that your Soul, Higher Power, Spirit, godself - whatever name you choose - is being supported in a Cosmic way right now and so is your body with the support from Venus - Breath being foundational to all of life in a body. You can easily help your self align with these positive forces of Nature by applying Healing Touch Quick Steps. Live in accordance with Nature.

Recently I saw the movie about the life of spiritual teacher Gurdjief, which is called Meetings with Remarkable Men. One of the bits of wisdom I gleaned was: "The body and the soul depend on each other."  We have to take care of both. Sometimes subdue one and uplift the other as the case may be. In any event, body and soul work together as are Jupiter and Venus celestially now.

Now when a person stands in fear, your energy descends and cannot rise. (Have you ever been so scared that you felt you might poop your pants? That is what fear does in an extreme case in the body.) It is your energy rising up the back of the body that is your vitality. Energy can't rise, no vitality. No vitality? Destruction of health.  This is important because When fear is harmonized, you are able to relax and receive nourishing life force to live your life well. Ah. To help harmonize fear, hold your index finger. Wrap your thumb and fingers around your index finger and gently, I mean gently, be with your body's natural system of healing. Holding your index finger is tapping into Source energy. THERE'S a big influence.

Everyone is at varying stages of this emotional cleansing "project." I remind myself to remember my "godself" or as the Ancient Egyptians call it, "the godling" self. If you do not feel good, strong enough, healthy enough and the fear overwhelms you, take it easy for the moment. Even when you are perfectly healthy, fear still creeps in. Whatever is going on, whenever fear comes forth, you can hold your index finger. Hold it all day long if you need to. Be your own testimonial for harmony. Watch the energy shift. Remember what you think about you bring about. Maybe thinking about harmony is a good idea. Ah.

Take care. Take good self-care.

Many blessings,

Barbara J. Semple
