Hard Lessons

I learned a hard lesson this week. It involved making a sudden decision, getting excited and jumping into something in a large way, without necessarily doing my homework .It 'felt' right and my intuition is usually quite good. Fast forward a few days into the project and the feeling was very bad. So bad in fact, I felt physically sick and unwell and a feeling of doom around it. To make it worse, I went against my first reaction to just stop and back out then-which would have been smart. Instead I stayed and tried to fix things, let the other person talk me into a second chance, I tried to work it out. What ended up happening is that after the second attempt, I then an overwhelming sense that this was not going to work at all and any attempt to make it work would be incredibly stressful and painful for all persons involved, and would just drag the whole unpleasant process out.So I finally trusted my gut and pulled the plug. I had to basically fire someone, and it did not feel good. But they were not doing their job, not at all, and I was basically paying a lot of money for something I could easily do myself. I got blindsided by the 'presentation.' Unfortunately in today's day and time anyone can have a slick website and be an 'expert', and not be help accountable for the empty promises.What went wrong here? Well I needed to use my head(logic) and my heart(feeling/intuition), not just heart. Most people are in their heads too much and need more heart. In this case I was being all heart and no head and that is not balanced either.As a result I had to hurt someones feelings, I felt bad for that, I lost a lot of money, and I felt pretty stupid.But there were some valuable lessons in this for me.1. DO MY HOMEWORK. As much as I used to tease my husband for researching something to death before he commits sometimes it is not a bad idea to get a lot of (too much) information about something up front before committing.2. JUMP IN, but remember to look before I leap.3. BE HONEST. It is so difficult. when you don't want to hurt someones feelings. In trying to spare feelings I downplayed how I felt and dishonoured myself and the other person. In the beginning if I had been truly honest with myself and this person, and pulled out in those first moments of unease, then it would not have gone this far4. TRUST MYSELF. I Knew it felt wrong. I asked friends and family for advice instead of trusting my inner knowing.5. TRUST IN THE GOODNESS OF OTHERS WHILE REALIZING NOT EVERYONE LIVES AND ACTS IN INTEGRITY. I may never get my money back. That rests in the hands of the other person and honestly I have no idea how that will go. They did not deliver on their big promises, and I feel let down and a bit swindled, but it was my choices that got me here, I need to take responsibility for that.What now? I have to trust that this will all shake out fairly for both parties. It is out of my hands, but I have made peace with my choices and am no longer judging myself for making a mistake. By forgiving myself, and letting it go, that makes it easier to move on and I can find peace in that. : )xoKerri

The Season of Love Is Upon Us! Are You Loving Yourself?

There are many things to love in this world. This season of love that is upon us reminds us to celebrate romantic love...which is a wonderful thing...but it is also a time to celebrate all that you love, not just a single relationship.I am lucky to love where I work, and the people I work with. I am blessed with a wonderful family, and kind and caring friends. I did not always feel this way. Like everyone else, I have been on a journey this lifetime. A journey alongside others, while at the same time changing and growing myself.One of the things I have learned over the years in my capacity as a healer, is that the greatest joy and the greatest challenge for most people is to learn how to love themselves. Truly. Not superficially. To love themselves deep down to the core of their being.People who truly love themselves are not fearful, they do not need to control things, they do not have an agenda, they do not require your attention, they do not waste time in competition, or with petty things, they do not need to convince you of anything, they just allow. They are calm and peaceful and content. They are not searching. They are Glowing. Children are naturally this way,  and on some level I think we all know this, and subconsciously desire to return to our innocent loving childlike state in that regard. That innocence and wonder, that eternal trust, and open heart. Who doesn't want that? Because let's face it, having a broken heart hurts. We learn as we go through life that our heart can be fragile, we become hurt, and we begin to close ourselves off to others, become guarded, defensive, we learn to let less and less love in.Until you learn to love yourself you cannot truly love another. Not really. Your love will always have conditions. It will look like this: I will love you if you do 'this and 'this' and 'this' for me. Your failure to do 'this' means I will withhold my love. This is not love. That is control.Real love is not self serving, it is selfless. Watch little children, how they love, how they play. They live Hearts Wide Open. Honest, Trusting and Loving. I believe we can learn so much from them.I endeavour to be more like a child and Live every day with my Heart Wide Open. To be honest, I am not there yet. Like many of you I sometimes struggle with releasing past hurts, hurt feelings, betrayal of trust, the awful feeling that comes with being misjudged by another.But we cannot give up, we need to keep trying to open our hearts up, more and more, to forgive past hurts and to allow Love to Heal.It Can Truly Heal All Things! I KNOW this to be true above all else. LOVE DOES HEAL ALL. I have experienced this miracle over and over again in my own life. It is remarkable.I also know this. If we really want this world to change for the better, we need to start by healing our Own Hearts.Love one another this Valentines Day. Be grateful and thankful for the ones you love in your life who love you, and please take some time to Love Yourself deeper.Find the courage to look deep inside yourself and find a hidden hurt that you need to forgive(we all have something) and let go of it. If it seems too big, allow yourself to begin to heal it little by little.You will feel lighter. You will begin to smile more. But more importantly your ability to truly love others will expand.  If we all do this together just imagine the change we can create!Much Love,KerriP.S.  Two of My All-time Favourite books about LOVE are:  'Love Without Conditions' by Paul Ferinni and 'Mastery of Love' by Don Miguel Ruiz. I highly recommend them both for anyone wanting to deepen their capacity to Love.

Contemplation On A Train ~ How Finding Your Passion = Your Happiness

So here I am on the Go train heading to Toronto looking out the window (as most people do) and I see all sorts of industry, and large trucks as I usually do, but this day was different. On this day my mind went first to the piles of scrap metal, and then to the trucks, and then it began to contemplate  how everything got there in the first place. Here we had these huge truck,s made of huge sheets of metal, that were somehow created by melting down metal, and then pouring it into sheets, and then eventually assembled in to what would become the body of the truck.Now I have seen trucks before. Honest. But today I found this process to be nothing short of Amazing!My mind was on a full on wander. I contemplated how far we have come in a relatively short time from horse drawn carts to transport trailers.  Then I started thinking of ancient times and metals in general, how they have evolved over time and the creation of remarkable things like rocket ships etc.We live in a time where we are surrounded by all manner of inventions that make our lives easier. I found myself completely blown away.I found myself thinking that if someone from the 1950s time travelled here & you told them that in your pocket you had a portable jukebox that could play unlimited music, that could connect with people worldwide, and find the answer to any question they would probably think you were crazy. If you showed the device to them and demonstrated it they would probably think it was magic.What is incredible about these thoughts I was having is that Everything I was observing- the piles of metal, the trucks, the train tracks, the train I was riding in-all of it was built by people just like you and me. And before these things were even able to be built they were just ideas in someone's mind. Ideas that became plans, that became refined plans, and then engineered into what we have today. That IS the thought being made manifest at work. And we do it All The Time!  How amazing are we, that we can take a thought, and with a little focus and determination, we can turn it into something that other people can not only see but they can experience it themselves!And all of these epiphanies coming at me while looking at heaps of scrap metal and eating my morning oatmeal.Then like a lightbulb went off it came to me. If we are this incredible, why is is do many of us in our lives feel trapped and limited? I see people every day stuck. Stuck in illness, stuck in limiting beliefs, stuck in fear and judgement. We, as human beings are amazing little pods of potential. We can think, do and create absolutely anything!Want a new world? You got it!Just get on it, and keep at it.Someone in our past was passionate about metal and had a vision. Someone else wanted a better more efficient way to transport goods. Necessity is the mother of invention but so is passion!The real Key in living a full and happy life is finding out what you are passionate about so that you can find your own personal vision and create it. By creating it, that enables you to share it. If you do not know what your passion is, that's ok! You have your whole life to figure that out.Here's a hint.It is usually what makes you happy. And the best part is it, will be unique to you, it will utilize all of your natural talents and gifts.I think people run into trouble when they try and force their passion or fit into one that just doesn't fit, or isn't  right for them. Sometimes I see people who think someone else's passion is better than theirs so they try and live that persons life. That always ends in unhappiness and disaster. You know that has happened when someone is always looking over their shoulder or comparing what they have and don't have to what other people have and don't have. That creates misery and lack. That is also pure distraction from you looking within to find...you guessed it! YOUR passion.Hint number 2, it usually finds you.Everything in your life will be subtly or not so subtly steering you in that direction. If you have found your passion and look back on your life you will see how that is true.I know that is true in my case. I fought my intuition for years. How is 'knowing things before they happen' and 'seeing energy' at all useful. It really wasn't welcomed at the time. Well it ends up those skills were an integral part of my passion. Those things about me are what makes me unique and able to help others in the capacity that I'm passionate about.Do I feel foolish in retrospect for wandering around the first part of my life ignoring these things about myself till I 'got it'. Not at all. Because I'm passionate about many things. Yes you can have more than one passion!We are meant to be unique! Imagine how boring this world would be if we were all the same.Now I can respect and appreciate how scrap metal can be transformed into all manner of useful creations, and appreciate the creative and visionary minds that made it so, but that is not my passion.My passion is inspiring you to live your best life, find perfect health & balance & live in harmony.What's yours?

2013 ~ A Time For New Beginnings & To Create

Well it's past the New Year and I am still working on a newsletter. It's getting a bit late to talk about the new year now isn't it? It has sort of come and gone. I took an extended vacation and one of my resolutions for this year was to better juggle all of my commitments. My work, my family, etc. And I love it all, so it makes it harder to juggle when you love everything you are doing. Looks like the newsletter has fallen into the delayed pile along with the Christmas cards that did not make it out this year.(don't worry, the newsletter is coming, it's just taking longer to create it than I thought) If anyone learns to stop time-call me-I'm interested. : )I like to spend the time leading up to a New Year and just after to take some time for self reflection, soul searching, a 'check in' with myself, with spirit and with everything. I contemplate. Not so much to make 'resolutions', but I more or less to make observations about the past year. I then I leave everything behind I no longer need, and take the wisdom of things I learned from the past year to help me make enlightened goals and choices about the coming year.During this reflection time, one of the things I realized I was learning in  2012 was that I am just one person. I ended up getting sick a couple of times. This is rare for me to have my body just refuse to come along for the ride. It rebelled and I had to take time off to get back into balance. This was a direct result from doing too much and not getting enough down time. So this year I decided would be about balance for me, and completion.Completion?Completion of a dream 5 years in the making. The renovation of the centre to create more space for classes. It will be a positive thing for everyone, and I'm so so incredibly excited(I'm jumping up and down on the inside-can you see it?!) and cannot wait and am more than a little impatient. It has been a vision in my mind for years now, but it's still not physically here. Sometimes things we are trying to create take time. It is not on Our time but on Divine time that they are made manifest. I remind students and clients of this 'divine timing' often so it was funny that I found myself needing to take my own advice.The mind is powerful and this time of year everyone-or almost everyone is thinking about their brand new year. It is a fresh start for many, but much more than that because so many of us are reflecting on this and putting our energy on this, it actually creates a frequency out there in the world that supports change. This is the best time to make a change, switch up a habit, let something/someone go because it is 'energetically' supported.Keep in mind that when you do let something go, you create a vacuum that needs to be filled and it can be filled unconsciously or consciously. I am always a fan of taking part in choosing my reality rather than taking whatever is thrown my way. In order to do that you need to have something to take the place of the old thing you are letting go of. You need to CREATE. Whether that creation is a dream, goals, or an image you have in your mind that represents your ideal future, it does not matter. The important thing is to take a few moments to do it.The universe is a vast soup of potential that wants to give us what we need but cannot do that is we are not being clear. Creating helps you get clear, even if you have no idea what you want. The very act of starting the process, helps things to come into alignment.Below are some tips to help you Create. Feel free to use them as a starting point to inspire you on dreaming up a beautiful future for yourself in 2013. And Think Big! Because after all, we survived the end of the Mayan calendar (and the 'end of the world'), what can't we do?If you need help honing your focus on CREATING, we have an upcoming Practical Intuition event later this month to help you do just that. The group energy of Excitement for the New Fabulous Year will help propel you forward if you are having difficulty getting there on your own. More details are HERE

It's Time To Create Your Year!

Decide How it will be and Make it So!

Declare it!

Keep is Short and Simple and

Take Action to Make it Happen.

C-R-E-A-T-E

I've broken it down into 6 easy steps that you can remember as they spell the word that is the most important part-Create!

C-Get Clear

Unless you have a clear vision or clear goals you will only create chaos and confusion for yourself

R-Keep it Real

Start with realistic goals. I am all for setting your sights high, but do not set yourself up to fail. Take baby steps until you feel momentum beginning, then ramp it up.

E-Enthusiasm is a Must

If you are not excited about your life and dreams and goals no one else is going to be either. If you are not excited, then you are not in alignment with your soul and hearts desire and it's time to rethink your goals

A-Action

Many people get stuck here. Yes you need a plan. But you are also required to get up and put it into action. No one is going to serve you life on a platter. Go out and get it!

T-Timing

Timing is everything. If the timing is off, well the whole thing can unravel. But if you are going to let that stop you then you did not really want it in the first place. Persistance pays off. Always.

E-Enjoy The Process

Have FUN! If you are not having fun, something is missing and you need to go back to the drawing board.

(If you are going to share the above process, please do so with integrity and give credit-this process created by and copyright © Kerri Fargo)

 It is going to be a Beautiful Year! I am very excited about 2013 and I hope you are too!

A Surprising Morning

A few hours ago I was pulled from my dreaming by the sound of long continuous honking. As my consciousness came back to my body and the earth, it greeted silence. I wondered was the honking external or had it been part of my dream? In my sleepy haze, the question faded, and I began to drift off again. I suddenly awoke fully with a start to loud pounding at the door. I realized I had to get the door as my husband was not here, that made me the one in charge. I stumbled downstairs with no time to even think. I was alone, up north with my sister, brother in law, and their kids. Not wanting to wake anyone, but unsure what was going on, I hurried to the door. There are no neighbors this time of year. Was someone in trouble or distress? I opened the door and the snow plough man tells me I need to move my car that I had parked at side of road because he couldn't get around it. I had parked there because the snow filled driveway was inaccessible. We had hiked our supplies in. So I got my keys and followed him up the hill, waking up now in the early morning cold. I had a few realizations walking up that hill.1. no one knows where I am. My sister and BIL are sleeping.2. It would be easy for him to (insert whatever your half asleep, fear-based mind could make up, here)After rolling a few scenarios around in my mind, I rest back in the faith that I'm safe and continue up the hill. If I'm not it's too late to turn back now.3. I was feeling the cold. I take stock that I'm in pjs & boots-no hat, no mitts etc.So I get into the van and drive down the road until I find a flat driveway without too much snow to pull into so the plough can get past me-this sounds simple enough but was next to impossible and about 2.km down the road. The plough passed me and I wait for it to turn around at bottom of the road and pass by me again before pulling out of the spot I'm in. I then realize I cannot go back and re-park where I was. I now have to park my car somewhere else and walk back. I know the road fairly well and know this will certainly be a bit of a hike. I also know that because of my earlier haste, I am improperly dressed for such a hike.I drive down the road and eventually find an area off to the side where I can safely park.I know I have to walk back. No hat no mitts and in pjs. I did go to bed with long underwear under my pjs as the fire hadn't heated the place up yet-so I take comfort in that.I get out of the car grab a gift basket my sister had left in the car (to save her a trip later)and I start walking. It's cold. I'm tired. I'm holding a gift basket. What was I thinking? I switch hands from basket holding to my pockets in an effort to stay warm. The snow is so cold it crunches. Loudly. I contemplate how it was silly of me not to remember to move the car-something my husband always did-and he wasn't here-but he always did it so I never even thought of it.I'm still walking and I'm getting really cold. I have a bit of a ways to go. I'm now annoyed. I only had a few hours sleep. I was already up at 3am stoking the fire. I had maybe 3 hours of sleep the night before. I know my neice and nephews will be up Early. My plans to get a proper sleep are fading fast. I trudge along feeling sorrier and more annoyed with myself. It's dark it's cold. Why am I carrying a gift basket? That's crazy. Are there coyotes up here? Would they be placated by chocolate? Why do the dark tree stumps look like people lurking?I trudge. I contemplate. I mind-complain. I get colder. The road goes on forever. I start to freeze.And then something happened.I looked UP and was literally stopped in my tracks.There in the clear night sky was one of the most beautiful moons I have ever seen. Complete with planets and bright stars all around. I was frozen in place just staring at it all like a fool. I'm pretty sure my mouth was hanging open in awe (I was still half asleep-in my defense)I was- in that moment-Absolutely Transformed.I went from a miserable, mind-complaining, freezing cold, wretch of a girl to a grateful and inspired human being. I placed the gift basket down on the ground, and just took in the fullness of the scene, appreciating that I was completely alone in beautiful nature. Silence, moonlight, snow so cold it crunches, bright stars, glowing moon, I felt so small, so taken care of, so loved and blessed. To be Present in this Moment-which now felt like a Miracle.I Thanked God, the universe, all of creation For My Life, for the miracle of living breathing and experiencing. I was so Thankful and Grateful for that moment, for having eyes to see and for the experience.What began as an interruption and large inconvenience in my life, had instantly shifted into a precious moment. And it made me realize, these moments are Everywhere.... Always. They happen throughout our day All The Time but our mind/personality/perception does not always allow us to see.Sometimes we need to be taken outside of ourselves( by strange events or circumstances largely outside of our control & comfort zone) to see anything at all.It is our Perspective that is Everything. Nothing in my scene or experience had changed here. Nothing at all.But I changed.And all it took was a moment.And I am so grateful for the reminder.So what is the point of this story?What indeed. : )It is this....Please look at something in your life today, or even last week, or further into your past that on the surface you judged as an inconvenience or unwelcome. Go back into the experience of that time, and find that moment of truth. That moment of clarity. Your own 'jewel' or 'pearl' from your experience and sit with that.Keep in mind there are no 'accidents' in life.If you do this with an open mind and heart, I guarantee the wisdom and awe that will flow over you will be no less greater than what I just experienced moments earlier. A moment so great I did not return to the sleep I so desperately thought I wanted and needed, but chose instead to share this moment(via a teeny & inefficient keyboard on my phone) with all of you. Now that is divine inspiration!Big hugs,Kerri

Why 12/12/12, Why not 12/21/12?

Why 12/12/12 and not 12/21/12?Good question. and one I asked my guide. I had planned to send Free distance healing on 12/21/12, but when sat in meditation to receive clarity and guidance on this I was guided to send it on 12/12/12 instead. When I asked 'why?' this is the message I received.12/12/12 is near a new moon which has a more supportive frequency to letting go and clearing.12/21/12 approaches a full moon which is a better time for filling up and creating. 'Well isn't 12/21/12 the perfect time to receive then?' I asked my guide. Yes he said, but 12/21/12 is a celebration-like a big birthday party, it should be spent out and about with loved ones in celebration, or at home with family and friends in communion with one another. It is the perfect time to gather and just enjoy life-the ideal situation would to be in pure joy-to spend that day doing things you absolutely love with people you love dearly.12/12/12 offers the last opportunity to clean house to get clear so that we can be open to receive all there is to receive on 12/21/12. He told me if I really wanted to be 'helpful' by sending healing to others, then the best time to do that to support and help others was on  12/12/12.Who am I to argue with a being who is a million times wiser than me and whose advice has been incredibly accurate the whole time I have known him? : ) Although I'm always asking 'why' like a petulant child to everything(because honestly that is how I learn) I also know the feeling of 'truth' and I resonated strongly with his advice.So the 12/12/12 healing is to help you let go of those last little things that no longer serve you, to 'clean house' so that you can  receive the abundance of joy love and healing coming to you on our birthday on 12/21/12.To participate in the FREE healing, or for more details please go HERE.Big Blessings,Kerri

FREE Distance Healing 12/12/12

Greetings Everyone,I'm sure all of you  have all been hearing about all of the shifts we have been going through leading up the end of the Mayan Calendar of 12/21/12. We are gearing up towards one of the largest energetic transformations in our history!Many of you participated in the FREE group healing of 11/11/11. What an incredible beautiful experience of everyone joining in to give and receive.That was an incredible experience for me as well as one of the most amazing beautiful and loving celebrations with spirit I have had the honour of participating in. It is with that in mind that I had decided to offer another FREE distance healing on the sacred date of 12/21/12. After meditating on this for clarity and guidance, I received intuitive information that it would be more beneficial if I sent the healing on 12/12/12.  If you are interested on why that is, you can read the full story in another post HERE.12/12/12  is an important time. It is just as important as the great shift we have already experienced and the future ones we will continue to experience.What makes this time so important is that our (clear) thoughts and intentions are not only necessary right now, but required, to determine the future frequency we will live in.Anyone with healing experience, or has ever been part of a prayer circle has witnessed the power of group consciousness, love and intent. All of us united with a common goal of healing, and raising our frequency will not only help heal ourselves, but the world as well.That is why  I am offering this FREE distance healing to any and all who are open to receive it.While you sleep you will receive healing energy to help you let go of things you no longer need, as well as an activation to help you receive the new energies coming to you. I have also been guided to send the Attunement for the Angel link to Seraph Rose. This is a Lightarian Reiki Attunement.Seraph Rose Aura's Angel-Link is to open you up even more to be a beacon of Unconditional Love. I feel there is no accident that I was guided to pass her energies on. Right now we need unconditional love more than ever, ~ towards ourselves, towards everyone & everything.Seraph Rose Aura spreads the angelic quality of purest unconditional love to humanity. Via her Angel-Link connection with you, an "angelic flame of unconditional love" will be placed into your heart space, fully radiate through your energy fields and then ripple out into all areas of your experience. Afterwards, Rose Aura will be working in your "etheric background" as an Angelic Guide to assist you in all matters of the heart...especially the expansion of unconditional love of self and others.'More Information can be found on Angel-links HERE.To participate you just need to RSVP.You can do that via the link below.If you do not want the Lightarian Angel-link Attunement just let me know in your RSVP, and I will just send the healing energy. (The Lightarian Attunements are wonderful high frequency loving energies-but just in case you do not want them, you can opt out of this part of the session.) To benefit the most from this session please take some time during the days leading up to this event to journal. Make a list of the things in your life you would like some help letting go of. Then make a list of your dreams and goals  along with anything you would like to see enter your life. I will be sending this energy with all of the guides that I work with. Afterwards I will post here any insights or information I may receive during this session.Many of you are healers as well. If you would like to give as you receive please join me at 12:12am by sending healing energy to the group. Together we can do incredible things!! I am so excited about this. My guides have been getting me ready for this the last few weeks. It is going to be Wonderful!Please RSVP through the meetup groups below:If you are registered on Meetup already either through Practical Intuitionor the Reiki SharePlease RSVP through there-you can post details in your comments on whether you would like the attunement or not and any extra people you want me to send to. It just makes it so much easier for me-less email to go through today : )Please make sure if you are requesting healing on behalf of someone that you have their permission. I will connect with everyone and ask permission energetically before sending the  energy as well. Obviously infants, pets and small children or anyone in a non conscious state cannot give verbal consent. Rest assured that if someone does not want to receive the energies-they will not.If you are Not registered on those sites Please RSVP by commenting on my blog post re. the FREE Healing HEREI just need your name and if you just want healing and not the attunement or both let me know as well.I should also mention that I will be teaching a Reiki 1&2 Class on December 15th & 16th. This will be the last class offered in 2012.Reiki is a wonderful tool to help keep yourself healthy and balanced, as well as a wonderful modality to use to help others. The only complaint I have ever heard in over ten years of teaching has been, 'I wish I had learned this sooner.'If you are contemplating learning Reiki you may wish to do so at this time. I will be extending the early registration discount till December 10th to allow for any last minute students. More information on Reiki  & Reiki Classes HERE. Any healers wishing to join me by sending Distance Healing at 12:12am, I welcome you! Please make sure you take time to receive as well.I'm very excited!!Big Blessings!Kerri www.circleoflightwellness.comCircle of Light on FacebookOur BlogWe Tweet!   To answer a couple of questions that have come up, No you do not need to be asleep-don't worry if you happen to be awake*I am sending the Seraph Rose Angel Link Attunement. Your body will take the energies and integrate them in the best possible way for you. They are gentle healing energies, and yet powerful supportive energies for change and growth. They are not like a Reiki attunement in that you are not having an attuenment and taking a class. It is like receiving a positive energetic boost to help bring your dreams and goals into being. : )*Also this is a DISTANCE healing-you are not required to come to the centre at 12:12am!)

I'm LOVING The Body!

I'm in the middle of completing my Medical Intuition training and yesterday I experienced complete and utter awe and reverence for the body.Before I explain I should probably explain Medical Intuition a little bit and this will help me practice how to explain it because it is unique and different from all my other services.Medical Intuition is a modality in which the practitioner goes directly to the body for the information. To help you understand I am going to briefly explain my other main modalities.In a Channelling session I am going to my guide(s) for the information and just reporting whatever I am shown told experience etc.In a Medium session I am going to the loved one(s) who have crossed over for the information.In a Reiki session I am going to the body AND the energy field AND the layers of energy for the information which can come from anywhere(guides, angels, body, mind, emotions etc. etc..)It is kind of like a smorgasboard of information as the healing is happening as well.So in Medical Intuition I am going to the body. The body only. No guides, no departed loved ones, just the client's body. It is a different way of working and to be honest I find the whole process very thorough and intense. Intense because it can take me up to 4 hours to complete a scan.Also intense because there is absolutely no way to prepare for what the body will show me. Every 'body' is different, every scan is different, and sometimes the information can seem a bit odd to me-however the information IS from the client's body for that client so they often resonate with what makes little or no sense to me.It is similar to channelling in that regard because in a chanelling session I have no idea about 99% of the information relayed. It makes no sense to me..it is for the client and my job is to deliver it clearly and accurately not to interpret it and definately not to to colour it with my belief or my 2 cents.I had a teacher who once said we all filter channelled information-or information from spirit through the 'dirty rag' of our personalities. At the time I laughed at the analogy, however as the years go on I realize the absolute brilliance of this statement.That 'dirty rag' is our beliefs, our culture, our fears, our limitations, our upbringing, our agendas, our personality etc.I have consciously worked on myself for  many years and still do to this day to become a clearer and clearer channel and to stay completely out of a channelling session in that I am simply there as the reporter of the information.What I have noticed about channelled information over the years in books and online is that it is very clear to see another's 'dirty rag'.Information from spirit is Never fear based. It Never tells you what to do. Absolutely spirit will guide and suggest and help when asked. But spirit will Not 'you should', 'you need to', 'you have to', or 'watch out for'.Those kinds of statements are red flags for me that the person channelling has way too much of themselves in the session.Also if the person delivering the info. has an agenda, or wants the person receiving the take the advice..that is a red flag too.Spirit does not interfere with anyone's free will. EVER. We NEED to ask for help to give them permission to even intervene in our lives! That is why so many people experience miracles after they finally get down on their knees and pray. They have FINALLY asked for help and so it arrives.This wasn't meant to be a post on channelling and MI is NOT channelling, but there are similarities.In MI when the practitioner connects with the body they cannot bring any preconceived notions, or assumptions from other modalities or any kind of healing background. One simply connects to the body and allows IT to tell the story. That story may be more in the physiology or anatomy, it may be a more emotional piece, it can even touch on previous times, or the client at other ages.I'm getting to the point-bear with me. For those who know me I tend to talk in a meandering 'circular' fashion....but we get there..eventually.  : )So the last few days I have been re-immersed in this work, and the other day we had to do an exercise or skit to act out one of the body systems.Our group was assigned the nervous system. We had around 10 minutes to figure out how we were going to act it out. Well the nervous system is HUGE and does so much! How can 3 people understand it and come up with a skit to act it out so the other group can guess what it is?! Honestly?Well, we figured it out but I have to tell you, the amount of co-ordination and thought to do that was a lot. And we were just acting out 2 or 3 simple responses the body would have.After that experience I sat at my desk in awe. (I hope my mouth was not hanging open while I was in awe but I can't be certain it wasn't)One thing for sure I realized our bodies are utterly AMAZING! Imagine! Your body works 24/7 and it works diligently. It is rarely thanked, often abused and still keeps going. It never complains but more or less asks for help via different sensations that we often ignore. Eventually when part of a system does crash we often meet that with frustration or anger because it cannot do it's job.Honestly if any of us were required to work 24/7 at that pace with no break, no recognition, no thanks, no reward, well we would leave after one day. But not the body. It silently organizes and operates things we cannot even wrap our head around. And we believe the wonders are off this planet in the vast universe somewhere out there?! I tell you the greatest wonder you could ever hope to experience IS you!I wanted to send my body a thank you card, and apology letter for years of not recognizing it's hard work. To wait all of these years to have this kind of epiphany...well it's a long time to go.And while I was unwell weeks ago I was too annoyed at having to slow down to even stop and think that perhaps, just perhaps, I have been too hard on my body. I have technically been an 'abusive' employer. I have to be honest, felt more than a little ashamed after that.So if anything I hope you get out of this post a deeper reverence for the skin you are in and everything underneath your skin. Your remarkable body that has gotten you through this life so far and continues to do so. What deeper love can anything have than our body for us? It is as selfless as a mother, looking after us first, rarely complaining and keeping us here so that we can have this earthly experience.I Thank my body for giving me this experience so that I can better understand it, appreciate it, and have reverence for all that it does. This MI class has been challenging, and rewarding but most of all it has reconnected me to my body in such a deep and appreciative way that I am so very thankful for that.I hope you can look at your own body through New eyes today-even if and especially if -you have a had a rocky relationship with it. Recognize all it has done for you, and send it some love, or at the very least a heartfelt thank you. : )
