I stumbled upon a Youtube video about clutter as a symptom of past trauma. This is not, mind you, when I first understood why I am both an organizer and declutter assistant as well as an energy codes coach (somewhat seemingly different offerings or businesses).  This is combination is actually more common than I though, as they are very closely related. But she caught my attention with the focus on trauma. I certainly understood that hoarding is often related to a deep wound or a void that can never be filled. But even clutter?

Yes. The kind of clutter that seems to remain, or return, despite your best efforts. Sometimes we just get off track and things pile up. Especially if we have had a big event in our life, like an illness or injury or a major loss. But much of the time, keeping too much stuff around too much of the time, can indicate that some deeper inquiry would be healthy and worthwhile.

There are many healthy ways to go about dealing with old hurts, wounds and subconscious beliefs. I offer one, and a good one too, through Dr. Sue Morter's work around the energy of those. And you don't have to figure out where the trauma stems from to clear it. We work with sensations in the body and the breath to move and clear stuck energies. When you shift a belief, conscious or subconscious, that you have held for a long time, maybe even decades, you may just find you are suddenly ready and willing to clean out that closets of old clothes, or recycle those broken items you were meaning to fix before selling, or tackling a pile (or boxes) of un-filed papers or photographs. Maybe even an entire garage or storage unit!

Looking around your home, are there areas that you have a hard time keeping organized? Do you have a hard time finding what you need when you need it? Do you hold onto things "just in case"? Contact me if you'd like to explore how I can help you clear the energy/clutter. Let's get your emotional AND physical spaces to a more calm and peaceful state. It might just be the shift you need to unlock the door to that new job, relationship or lifestyle you have been longing for.

Nettle Pesto Recipe -
Thanks Dr. Jennifer @ Reboot Center -  Whidbey Island 😋
​
Makes a large batch:

• 40 nettle tops (the top 1/3 of the plant; collect using thick gloves!!)
• 6 oz parmesan (can substitute with 3 oz nutritional yeast for vegan option)
• 3 peeled garlic cloves 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil, more depending on desired consistency
• Combination of approx. 1 cup nuts/seeds: cashews, pecans, walnuts, hemp seeds

Directions:
1. Boil nettles for 2 minutes, strain, then place in a large bowl of water with ice and “cold shock” the leaves (this helps them keep the vibrant green color). Press the excess water out.
2. Add the nettles to a food processor along with the parmesan/nutritional yeast, garlic cloves, salt, and nuts/seeds. Process on high, slowly adding in the olive oil until the desired consistency is reached.

Healing our hearts, minds AND our bodies. It really is a package deal. If our minds are troubled, scattered or stressed, it creates fight or flight hormones to circulate. If we are sad for long periods where we then don't move our bodies enough, or we are scared and holding ourselves unnaturally, like with a tight neck or shoulders, clenching our jaw etc., thus causing fatigue, stiffness and even possible injury, they are linked.  We are best served by using a variety of healing modalities to bring ourselves back into balance. Our Whole self. Mind body and spirit.
With so many options for online, live or recorded, events, it can be hard to know which are worth while, or hard to fit them all in. The one I make an absolute priority in my life to attend once a month, is Dr. Sue's free monthly healing transmission, usually the last Wednesday of the month. You are required to sign up in advance to receive the zoom link, which is emailed out just 30 min. prior, but it is totally free. No obligation other than sharing your email. Don't worry, you can always unsubscribe. I share the link below for your ease and highly recommended you give it a try. Being a meditation, it is thus most beneficial if you can listen while in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. And of course, never meditate while you are driving! Dr. Sue is amazing and it is a powerful experience that I highly recommend to all my clients.
I love that we are all connected and supporting wholeness and healing by being live on zoom together - over 95 countries represented! It feels like my individual attendance DOES make a difference. I have had such powerful experiences, that like I said, I NEVER miss them. She started doing these right as the Pandemic began. It was such a light for me, at that difficult time in my life, but I think they have only gotten better and better.
I would love it if afterward, you return here to share your experience with me. Enjoy.  LINK

Blog: How to Live AS the Light!  By Jean Walters
       
        Ever since Albert Einstein discovered the Unified Field, Quantum Physics has made a great leap in understanding that the basis of all life as light.  Of course, the reference to light is as old as the Bible wherein Genesis states that God said, Let there be light and there was light.  Therefore, the idea of light is not new and perhaps we are catching up to this concept that is as old as forever and possibly the key to life everlasting and living in joy. I will explain further…
        The science of physics indicates that if you were to take a high-powered microscope and look deep within matter (any matter – a chair, desk, human body), you would find one foundational element – light.  So, what does this mean to you and me?  It means that we are made in the light of the Quantum Field (ie God).  We are the light of God. 
        Another name for light is love. The great teacher, Jesus, said that if you want to know for sure that you are love, forgive your enemies.  That might sound astounding simple, but if you were to contemplate the concept you would discover that since love (or light) is the ultimate infinite element, it is more sustainable, and enduring than fear, anger, animosity, resentment, hate or anger.  Love endures, outlasts and outlives fear or “low energy.” 
        As you forgive your enemies, you are not forgiving actions.  You are forgiving people.  To go a bit farther, you are forgiving distraught, wounded, misguided folks.  In other words, anyone with unloving intentions is grounded in trauma, fear, and woundedness and lost his sense of connection with love – the deep essence and core of every being, the underlying reality. 
        It is not that love has disappeared or dissolved for that is not possible as it is the elemental structure of all life.  It is the essential building ingredient as expressed in Genesis.  It is that folks have bought into a world of limited, material form and thereby become distracted from the innate essence of love of which they are made.  And, because of that disorientation, they have confined their experience of life to a small finite body and material circumstances (a 40 hour a week job and mortgage payments). Yet, the potential is to live (radiate) in vast possibility, unlimited beauty, and potentiality.    
        There is so much more and now may be the time to expand your vision.  The sky goes on forever and the oceans are vast. The air we breathe is limitless and so are the varieties of people and possibilities of what we can do, be, experience and become. 
        Get started by beginning each day with a moment of wonderment.  Look at the world with the eyes of a child – amazed at the beauty and vastness all around you.   Try to keep that sense of openness in every situation. 
If you get stuck in a conflict (mental or physical) remember that you are made of light substance – the highest vibrational element there is.  As you remind yourself of this truth you will begin to let go and feel love and lightness flow in you. 
        Go to your heart for a direct connection.  Ask yourself, what does my heart say about this situation?  As you relax, you will have your answer.  Each day that you do this, you will understand more and begin to identify with who you really are.  You true essence is light!  You are the light!

I live in a tiny house! As I await for the completion of my new home, a pre-fab build, I am living on the property inside a tiny house on wheels. It is actually quite wonderful.  Come inside my home with me in this video...

Lifting the Veil of Duality, Your Guide to Living Without Judgement by Andreas Moritz

This book aligns so well with Dr. Sue's energy codes and teachings. It was written in 2002. I came across it as I was writing my book (not published) about duality. It is very profound, wise, but not easy to grasp. At least not yet on a daily basis for me. Just like with the teachings of Dr. Sue, sometimes I get lost in "reality" and find myself back in fear, pain, suffering etc. Until I remember to do a central channel breath, heart coherence breath or MPower Step etc. One thing I really appreciated that this author did was that at the end of his book, he offers a "Methods for Living without Judgment to be a Master of Life - Eight Lessons".   A summary of sorts.

I recorded myself reading it as I like to listen to it now and then instead of reading it, like while I am doing something else (that doesn't require a lot of my mental focus). Posting the recording here for you to enjoy if you so chose!

I am reading a book that I am just loving: Return To You, "11 Spiritual Lessons for Unshakable Inner Peace" by Shannon Kaiser. It is one you can read slowly, giving yourself time to absorb the wisdom within. It is likely a book to be read again and again to glean new nuggets each time. She is a young gal with so much life experience already, and although she struggled quite a bit, being a student of the Course in Miracles she offers this wonderfully written story and guide for your own journey into more self love. Inside book cover:
"Transcend fear and rediscover hope with this step-by-step process for intuition development and spiritual attunement."
I am grateful for Tami Simon, Founder of Sounds True, for not only publishing the book, but for interviewing Shannon and grateful that I clicked on and listened to the interview. I was so drawn to what this young women had to say as to order the book right then and there.

Every time I finish a call with a client, I feel lifted up, joyful, energized and have hope for the world! That's because we are helping each other during our interaction. Working with clients helps reinforce the principals and information for me as well as practicing together the techniques offered by Dr. Sue And to see people light up with understanding and excitement for their own abilities to change their lives, their future, and the world around them, is an uplifting experience for me as well. 
I have always had the desire to help people. And I have operated as a helper nearly where ever I went. And of course I wanted most of all, to help my family and friends. But I have since learned that we are all on our own paths. Not everyone is ready, or open or available, to the help I would offer. And that use to make me sad, feel hurt or unappreciated. I have since learned it is all part of the journey. Now as I launch this practice, I am excited to help those who have make a choice to come learn more about this work and to do so with intention and tap into the power that already exists within themselves, to shift and effect positive changes in their lives. I no longer (mostly :-) take it personally when offered advice, information, a book, a video etc. is not received with interest. Now I have a way I can be lifted up through helping those that want the help and support. 
So to all my clients and future clients, I am so appreciative of your interest and engagement in yourself, that allows me to feel the higher vibration from helping someone while also helping myself. Let's journey together; for a while anyway!
In deep gratitude and love,
Shelly
