Good Energy for Life

process vs. specific releasing

I've heard some high-profile energy-healing types recently knocking "process healing," stating that the only thing that makes any difference is releasing specific patterns about specific incidents for specific releasing results.

Based on my own experience, I find that hogwash.

To me, they both have a welcome place in my processing journey, just like psychological therapy, bodywork, yoga, and a whole array of other lovely things which assist me in various ways at various times of my journey. Each stepping stone carries me forward just a bit; together, they get me across the stream dry as I want to be.

IMO, the process way of thinking is a way that has not been appreciated much in our culture up until now, and is inevitably and inexorably coming to be more and more important as people seek greater balance and wholeness in relation to themselves and to the planet.

Greater comfort with process is a natural outgrowth of the wave of Eastern teachers, philosophies and religions which the West has been embracing more andre and more heartily since the 1950s. This kind of thinking is becoming so mainstream that it's almost indistinguishable from popular culture -- witness the success of radical being/presence teacher Eckart Tolle (whose Internet course was made available in partnership with Oprah Winfrey of all people, and it don't get more mainstream than that).

In my process, energy work of both process and specific subject matters actually helps me personally integrate these two ways of thinking into something even greater and more in touch with the wholeness of intuition. Here's how it can work:

When I become aware of an unwanted pattern, I rely on my intuition to guide me on when to process, and then whether to do a specific releasing (i.e. releasing emotions around a certain incident or pattern of childhood) or a process one (i.e. releasing the emotions I am having right now in the course of my day without reference to the past or specific things.

With EFT, a process session starts right where I am: "Even though I'm anxious writing this post today and I don't usually feel like this, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, etc." This has the effect of assisting me to integrate any specific healing I've done around the pattern before (even though I don't have to make it conscious or name it), and just generally making my present moment better (something I am perfectly happy doing for its own sake, and even happier doing in the context of an overall intuitive sense that I am holistically progressing).

For myself, if I did just specific sessions, I would not be working in synch with my own personal guidance system. And it's the same if I did just process; for me, alternating the two is what I was guided to over time as I refined more and more what I wanted in results. I personally am of the belief that anywhere you start is fine, and that your own desire to heal and your guidance system will guide you to refine more and more what to do when in order to reinforce and work with in trust your own personal healing mechanisms and ways.

the pathway through choice

I've discovered some information that may be of use to anyone challenged by making a choice, or choices in general. The discovery comes from the world of addiction, yet can apply at different levels to all....

I'm realizing that an addiction, at heart, is actually a signal from the soul and body that it is reaching its limits of safe experience and to be very, very cautious in expanding here. The reason it is known as the other thing it is known as today is simply because the addict personality, being one not used to being in touch with or listening to his or her body, comes over time to override it and then mistake it for the opposite signal, to charge ahead as recklessly as possible.

For others, the problem may be more subtle than addiction yet relatively just as challenging. The challenge is: when do we say "yes" or "no" to something presented to us with generally secure knowledge that our lives will go from good to better incorporating this choice, for the greatest good of all.

This signal seems to be a crucial one to human life at this time. If, for instance, someone were going to invent the automobile now and they heard this signal, they would know that extreme caution is advised and to reconsider some things about the basic design. At this time in human life (though perhaps not before, all due consideration to Henry Ford, whom I admire very much), this signal takes into account mankind's strong desire for environmental sustainability on the individual and group level. Therefore, what is nourishing and sustaining to you personally can also naturally grow energies, supports and actions that are nourishing and sustainable for the earth.

This is how the signal works for me: I sense the boundary of growth signal as a blinking on and off of energy around my central core -- just like a blinking traffic light, only non-physical. When I feel that, my challenge of choice becomes the question, Is it a blinking yellow? or a blinking red? As I pause and use my feelings and rational mind to evaluate this particular situation, I make a good guess as to whether to stop, pause, or proceed with caution. My experience in this particular case goes into my file and internal "computer processor" of overall experience, and next time my choice can be even more refined and better.

This is the pathway between acting out in non-sustainability/insolvency/addiction or acting into it (also known as physical, mental, emotional and spiritual anorexia). This is the pathway of greater wholeness, of safe expansion which enlarges the whole system for the greatest good of all.

clarifying my intentions about money

I'm seeing some interesting things about myself in relation to money....I'm asking for more clarity and realism, and receiving confirmation that I'm on a good track.

What's interesting about my new definition of "realism" is that, to me, it now means, Am I really open to all the good that is here for me?

That includes both faith AND sanity.....emotions AND reason...psychological balance AND spiritual inspiration.

It is in this middle way that truly new solutions and good, sustainable, growing wealth of every kind appear.

For instance, I'm asking for an income of $75,000 to $100,000 a year. Part of me says that's way too much, and part of me says it's way too little.

At this point in time, that's kind of how I know it's on a pretty good track, actually.

Part of the reason I can say that with some assurance is that, in other areas of my life, I HAVE seen what that middle way looks like. In relationships, for instance...When I am experiencing that center way I'm asking for more of, I feel balanced, more present, things move slower and with greater pleasure, I feel in line with my own capabilities and those of the other, there are more and more pleasant surprises.

 

When I consider that area of my life and how it's working, I can more easily hold the center about money -- I don't know every little thing of how that money is going to come, and I can feel that I have enough clarity FOR TODAY to do the next good thing and let it happen.

 

This is the essence of what I'm doing at this time:

• consciously calling upon Spirit in any form I understand it and/or have experienced it and/or want to understand and experience it now
• evolving my personal experience of both my own needs and desires and my need and desire to incorporate a new, expanded version of Spirit in my process
• recognizing my own growth and new consciousness
• utilizing ego-based choices to raise my vibration sufficiently that I prepare myself to receive the solutions I seek
• acknowledging that my ego does have tools and resources to do this, is in fact designed and prepared to do this
• acknowledging that there are actions I can take within my own power at this moment to move myself forward
• choosing to do those things

Now I feel more realistic, more clear AND more optimistic....I LIKE THAT!

remember to tell yourself, "Job well done!"

My recovery from workaholism has taught me the importance of recognizing my own good job and feeling the good energy of that recognition.

"Job well done!" is a phrase I say to myself at least once a day, noticing how good it feels.

Now is always a good time to tell yourself that. Take a few moments to recognize something good for yourself you did today -- utilized your gifts, tapped into life purpose, enjoyed a smile with someone, tried something new, accomplished a task you wanted to do.

See how good it feels?

the breakthrough came

I want to say that I totally knew it would.....and I guess I did...eventually.

What I appreciate this time, is that it came so quickly and right on time with the end of this challenge, in line with my own vision of time frame.

Yaay, Universe! Yaay, me!

I got a lovely inspiration for the ebook I'm going to post, at the same time my fog lifted about the software I had been looking at for a while to do the format for it. All of a sudden, once the idea gelled, the software became easy to use and efficient. Funny how that happens, isn't it...?

I always think of this part of the process as "gelling," because that's so how it feels.....It's watery and swampy for a time, until it isn't. When it isn't, then it's clearly gelled. The idea becomes crystal clear, fits in with my current reality and moves me further into my vision.

I also got a lovely inspiration as to the series of ebooks I will be doing this year, and how they fit into my gifts and vision as a transformational coach. (That's a new phrase, too, and I really like it. I do energy healing as I help people clarify their vision and move forward through what is essentially a transformational process -- in the process of aligning with what they desire, they become more.)

My first ebook is an LOA version of the 12 steps, emphasizing empowerment and positive transformation.

The 12 steps is one of the most powerful and simple transformational tools on the planet, with a proven history of more than 70 years. The method that has evolved in my own use of the steps that I'm going to share with others emphasizes empowerment over powerlessness (using powerlessness as a gateway to new opportunity), and recognizes the importance of positive shadows (the positive traits in ourselves we deny) in equal importance with the negative ones. The result is an allowing of new, persisting patterns of behavior more in line with what the person desires to be.

The series is about building a solid energy base for transformation and positive change. Over and over, I've discovered the perils of moving forward with strength only to see the gains slip away over time because my energy base was not expansive enough to handle the gains. This has given me a strong and focused desire to continually improve my base, and to move forward in line with what my base can handle.

I've developed a series of processes which strengthen and expand a person's energy base, making it more and more able to handle more continuous growth, more persistent growth and more persistent pleasure as well.

I feel good about these things I've invented and developed, and I certainly look forward to sharing them with the world. Join my mailing list and I'll be happy to share them with you, too!

breaking down before I break through

I got that phrase from James Ray's talk on Healing with the Masters, which I listened to last night....
I only listened to it because a friend called me and suggested we listen to it together RIGHT THEN....I probably would have blown it off otherwise...(I got the photo from my Easter visit to the Bronx Zoo; I thought it was appropriate because <i></i>those<i></i> beautiful creatures are so good with flow.)

I have been pretty much huddled into a pitiful ball of terrible feelings....except that, despite the feelings I'm generally doing the next good thing. THAT is new behavior....

Though my path may be zig and zag...

Though I do not get it "right" or "perfect" half the time (as far as I can see)...

Though my heart is breaking and I feel like a pitiful ball of nothingness....

I am OK anyway.

I must be progressing.

James Ray says I'm doing well!

&lt;:

I have friends who call me and suggest good things.

Truly, life is OK and getting better all the time.

Thanks for being here.

kicking into high gear

Looking over my vision for the quarter, I feel like I've been kicked into high gear in a good way....I've become very active and focused and flowing in my actions, targeted to those things that will bring my vision to manifestation...

Ooooooooooooooooooh....That feels GOOD!

Looking over my vision for the quarter, I still gotta get my butt in gear if I want to complete those things....having an e-book on line, and people are buying....Hmmmm, that would mean familiarizing myself with that software I've been afraid of and putting off....ditto the method of downloading e-books from my site.

Well, I definitely can put it on my action plan and see what happens....

What's interesting to me also as I read the vision is how I emphasized "relaxation" and "ease," and it turns out that the most relaxing thing for me to do right now is to let myself be more and more active, at the same time taking regular breaks for fun things like travel (went to NYC last weekend and did three days of maximum tourism), walks in the woods, yoga, meditation, etc.

I like this new level of inspired action. And I like the relaxation and ease.

Thank you, Universe! More, please...

Turning it over to Spirit...

I feel a strong intention today to make my process easier and more continuously access positive manifesting energy (this is an ongoing intention with me, and one where I've seen MUCh progress). It feels good to turn it over to Spirit, asking for help, guidance and clarity through this simple process...If you feel inspired, try it yourself!

I am asking for clarity, guidance and flow on:

Flow of my days, with more funding, how

Broader perspective and psychological health, how and way easy, relaxed, healthy, balanced

Attracting and allowing dollars from any channel, including business

abundant dollars allowing more

this, the equivalent, or something I recognize as better

this, the equivalent, or something I recognize as better

this, the equivalent, or something I recognize as better

this, the equivalent, or something I recognize as better

I want to have good flow in my days with more funding and greater ease with how because I know how good it feels and I like it,

because I know my life can be good and I want to allow it consciously with with pleasure

because I want to align with the goodness and love of my Loving Power

because I enjoy having more money than I have now and I want it

I want broader perspective and psychological health

Because I’ve put the focus into learning about these things and allowing shift in my perspective and it feels good to allow the positive results to occur also

Because it feels so good and aligned with my intuition

Because I want more pleasure and reliability in my life

I want to attract and allow dollars from any healthy channel, including business

Because I love how it feels to connect with Loving Power and allow money

Because it’s part ofmy life purpose

Because I have LOTS of things to buyand I want to get on it!

I want to allow abundant dollars allowing more

Because I’ve done the focus to line up the energy and it feels better to allow the physical manifestation to come, it’s relief

I like the relief of that

I like when life lines up as a goodness

Because there are so many things I’ve lined up my energy on that will be positively funded by money and I enjoy very much allowing them

I now surrender any fears, doubts and resistance about:

The how

Loving my life partner

Loving me

Connecting with Loving Power in relation to the physical world and practicality

My own knowing

My choices

My actions, my day

I’m surrendering this to you, Loving Power, through healer Nancy.

Now show me the next right step for me. I am asking you for signs and clarity, the next good step for me ongoing, flowing, increasing. Thank you, Loving Power for giving me your guidance. I trust that this will work out in a good way for me, including positive manifestations.

Thanks for being here.

I LIKE these feelings...

At this point in my quarter, I'm noticing how much I LIKE the feelings I'm having....

I'm growing, and feeling more comfortable in my expansion.

I feel satisfied, knowing I've participated in this growth by coming here, choosing to do new things, things that feel good.

I feel happy, and see positive opportunity all around me.

I notice I'm having better ideas about things, and decisions come easier as I'm more in harmony with inspiration and letting it come.

I feel more relaxed in my body.

I enjoy feeling in synch with my own life, including its growth aspects and expansion into more. My prayer is always for "optimistic realism," that delightful vibration which tickles me with my life as it is in the moment and also expects and allows more.

My work projects are going better -- I'm able to show up with more enthusiasm more regularly with more pleasure.

My ideas come to fruition easier.

I've attracted more support, encouragement, nourishment, fellowship, friends.

Ahhhhh, it's all really nice.

Natural rhythms can help you thrive

For manifestation projects of one year or greater time span, it can be really helpful to remember the natural rhythms of the seasons. Flowing with these natural rhythms can be a real boost to both the ease of the process, and its success.

For instance, I'm writing this article in mid-May. That means, in symbolic terms, the seed-planting process is mostly over (though there may be a few unusual seeds left to plant, very tender ones that really wait for the warmer, more nurturing weather) and visioning and allowing are in full swing. Think of the farmer doing his or her part with weeding and watering, a positive attitude, good self-care and visions of abundance at the end of the growing season.

Here are some things you can try to let this energy into your own creative process:

• ask yourself, your inner wisdom and your greater Loving Power whether there are any seeds left to plant. Make a list of them, ask for a realistic and pleasant time frame,then turn it over to the process.
• renew your relationship with your own visions. Take some time to read your visions from the past, from the beginning of the project, the year, and the season.
• relax. Commit to a weekly day of fun, whether that be putting your feet up on a lawn chair all day and reading, or going on an outing to a place you've wanted to go for a while.
• write some visions of how you'd like these projects to look and feel while they're blooming, and during harvest. Then take the extra step and vision the after-harvest stage as well. What comes next...? (This is a great way to let more positive energy in; your system will tend to relax even more if it knows there's more good things ahead when this is finished. )

Perhaps the most important thing to remember at this time of year is to resist the temptation to harvest too soon, or to pull on the little plants to make them grow faster! Although there are some things that are ready to harvest (think arugula and cut tulips), most of those long-term projects are not ready to go this time of year.

Note: If you happen to be engaged in things whose timing is largely beyond your control (i.e. corporate projects or those of groups and partners), this advice at first may seem not to apply. You can, however, always help the energy of the project by insisting, for yourself, to see it in these terms. Whatever you're planting or harvesting now in your group/corporation/etc., think of it as one small part of a larger picture, one crop that is ready to plant or harvest in the context of a lot of others that are not.

As you do these things, spend some time in nature wherever you can find it, and don't forget to appreciate yourself for letting this natural energy help you and your projects to go better!
