The New Chakra Playbook

“In this book, we are questing to transform our past understanding of the chakras – which hold our spiritual and Earthly paths – into one that is more supportive of where our consciousness is now.”

– Introduction of The New Chakra Playbook

I have been working with the chakras for over 35 years and this is the best book that I have found on the twelve chakra system.

This book was written by Catherine Morgan, Franny Harcey, and Tim McConville. Franny and Tim are co-creators of Awakening Healing Axis, an energetic training program I have highly recommended before. Catherine has studied the AHA work since it was founded in 2017.

This book is good for beginners and experienced healers and mediators, which is kind of amazing. The simple meditations and exercises give you a direct experience of your energy system. It is profound in its simplicity and accessibility.

There is so much to gain and learn from your chakras. You can heal your physical body, calm your nervous system, access your inner guidance, and even make direct contact with the Divine Source. I know that sounds like a lot. That’s why I have given several copies of this book away.

The more time I spend with this book, the more I have gotten out of it. I have this book in my backpack and close to my meditation table. There is an eight-day exploration, which, I confess, took me about two months. I had to do some of these simple meditations every day for an extended period. I was ready for this book; it has opened me to so many new possibilities.

Flow: Healing, Art And Life

Healing often involves altered or higher states of consciousness. As an energetic practitioner, I learn so much from listening how other spiritual seekers, adventure athletes, and artists access their flow states.

These experiences are difficult to describe. Yet, the more we try to acknowledge these higher states of consciousness, the better we can live our lives.

Sharing them helps us. Accessing them is essential.

It’s that feeling of flow, that it’s simply all moving. I’m not pushing anything; nothing’s pushing me, and that’s a very calm place.

– Tom Knott

This video of artist Tom Knott is a beautiful example of how energy, art, inspiration, and life interweave. He talks about getting out of the way of the creative flow, even as it moves through his body, head, and hands. He talks about how his visions come to him, his meditation practice, the feeling of coming into unity with the world, and the adventure of art making.

This video is from a compelling series about the artists living on Hornby Island.

Did You Have A Headache, Tinnitus or Vertigo Yesterday?

On May 11, 2024, so many people had severe tinnitus, migraines, and overwhelmed nervous systems. Many of my clients, friends, and family from all over the country reported not feeling well. There was also a geomagnetic storm with Solar Flares.

I know that when I had debilitating headaches, I was in the most pain when there were solar flares. During this time, I subscribed to a free website for solar flare updates. I can’t find that website now, and after a short Google search, I found some websites charge money now. If interested in learning more, you can start here for more information on solar flare activity: https://spaceweather.com

I will update this post on my website when I find out more.

Our environment has a significant impact on our mood, physical body, and overall well-being. By being aware of our world, we can live healthier, pain-free lives.

A Workshop By Cyndi Dale: Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions

Cyndi Dale gave a two-day workshop a few weekends ago called Keys to Activate & Energize Healing in 11 Dimensions.  She taught it through The Infinity Foundation.

Cyndi is a gifted intuitive, healer and teacher.  I enthusiastically recommend taking at least one of her classes, especially if you are an energetic practitioner. She is energizing, incredibly verbal, and generous with her knowledge.

This workshop was focused on discovering the astral planes, the 8th chakra, and 11 known dimensions. The eighth chakra is particularly interesting to me because it can be used to heal across multiple dimensions and other realities. In the last few years, it has been evident that a lot of multidimensional access is happening in my client’s healing sessions.

The eighth chakra (above our head) is a silver energy center that is one of the keys to the science of the time-space continuum for transmutation.  Time and space are so fluid during sessions.  I have to have a clock in view at all times in my healing space, or I would have no idea how much time has gone by.

The initial intention for taking this class was not to learn new techniques, but to recognize what is already happening in my client’s healing sessions.  I did recognize many of the dimensions and healing spaces Cyndi talked about, and since the workshop, I am aware of new frequencies and possibilities.

All this may sound pretty woo-woo and new age, but these energies and states of consciousness are where my clients have healed headaches, chronic pain, and neuropathy. In these higher states of consciousness people have released emotional trauma and have connected with their inner guidance. Energetic healing is profoundly practical.

I have already listened to the class recording twice. There is so much information, and I am sure I will be going over this material a few times more.

Veda Austin and The Secret Intelligence of Water

 

Petri Dish With Water and Pyramid Before Freezing (from Veda’s website)

Image In Frozen Water From Same Petri Dish After Freezing (from Veda’s website)

The work of Veda Austin is phenomenal. She takes photographs that prove water has consciousness. Maybe water is consciousness.

These photographs are stunning, like the images of Masaru Emoto.

I have always known that water, silk, and cotton could hold healing energy. Years ago, I met a woman who made 100% cotton Teddy Bears you could fill with loving, healing energy. Then you could give that stuffed animal to a child who was not feeling well – and it appeared to really comfort the child. It was such a sweet way to support another person energetically. I must have given away ten of those bears.

Now that I have been introduced to Veda’s research with water, I feel there are so many more ways to share energy with others. I also feel like I have a deeper awareness of what may be occurring in many of my healing sessions.

Here is a great interview of Veda telling her story and describing her research and how she began communicating with water. If you don’t have much time, start the video 15 minutes in and listen. 

I ordered some Petri dishes and can’t wait to take some photos.

Check out her website for more videos. Enjoy!

We’re Wired to Heal Each Other

This talk was ‘flagged’ by TED, stating that Dr. Jain is speaking about her “personal research approach.” TED also warned her not to use words like Reiki or Chi.

Wow. Words are so powerful.

Healing energy is a natural inherent human ability that we can all access. Talks like this are crucial in expanding our consciousness and increasing the quality of our life.

Click here to check out a list of scientific references Dr. Jain provided to support her talk on the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI) website. This list includes 29 peer-reviewed, published scientific references.

I could write twenty posts on the inspiring ideas presented in this video. I am so excited to share it with you.

Thank you, Dr. Shamini Jain.

Healing Time

The first thing I do before a healing is write down what time the session begins.

I almost always have no sense of ‘normal’ time during a healing. It’s really wild.

Time is a very fluid, non-linear experience in the healing state.  Sometimes when I first look at the clock after what feels like only ten minutes into a session, I find that it has been over thirty minutes.  Other times I can feel like I have been in an eternal deep state for quite a while and I am sure the session must almost be over – only to look at the clock and discover it has only been fifteen minutes.

Even after so many years of healing, I still find this incredible.

Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible

“… The film ultimately shows that once the invisible worlds are made visible, this attained higher awareness will transform humans into superhumans.” 

– From the 1091 Pictures

I found this documentary very interesting. It presents a series of scientific experiments and demonstrations that gave me many insights into my own healing practice – the work I do every day.

Enjoy!

Feeling Sleepy In Healing Sessions

My Mom began reading my book.

When we talked yesterday, the first question she asked me was, “I was surprised to read that you fall asleep in your healing sessions.”

I think there are going to be a lot of things in this book that may be surprising.

Below is a short quote from the chapter called The Question, where I attempt to describe all the things that I may experience in a healing session:

“…Occasionally I may suddenly feel intensely sleepy. That is an energetic frequency that may last most of the session, or only a few minutes. When that happens, I have to focus on my breath, sit even more upright, and stay balanced until it passes. The sleepy energy has proven to be greatly beneficial for my clients, especially when I stopped resisting it.”

Early in my practice, I felt the sleepy energy much more than I do now. I can’t tell you how upset I used to get when it happened. I totally resisted it and physically tightened up when I felt it. It made me feel like I lacked the stamina, ability, and focus I should have as an Energetic Practitioner. I believed the thought that “This is happening because I am not a better healer; only losers feel sleepy when they are healing.”

One day I realized this sleepy energy was a healing vibration, just like all the more obvious high energy and sparkly frequencies. That day I was tired because I had been up most of the night before, so when the sleepy energy came in, I didn’t fight it. I didn’t resist or contract my body against it. I kind of surrendered into it because I was really tired. It lasted most of the session. It was a little intense holding that space for almost fifty minutes, but I did it.

It was a great healing for my client—one of those profoundly off-the-chart sessions. I realized  ‘sleepy’ energy is a powerful healing energy. Now when it comes, I relax my body into it, deepen my breath to stay focused, and hold it for as long as needed for my client.

I  also realized I spent the first five years of my healing practice resisting an energy that my clients may have needed to rebalance and heal. If I had not been so judgemental, I could have been learning how to hold it as efficiently as possible, rather than trying to get over it.

That being said, I am also always open to the information that I might need more sleep, that I might be run down, or need a few days off.  I always check my grounding before, during, and after the session. My focus is to stay as open to all information that arises in my healings. That information may tell me I need more rest.

I hope that by sharing my experiences in this book, other practitioners will not waste so much time resisting any of the beautiful, restorative, and rebalancing healing energy available to us.
