Take control of your health!

Today, In the wee hours of the morning, I was on a meditation-healing run through the back trails of my home here in eastlake.  The view of the lake with the sun rising over the mountain hitting the water as the reflection created star like light that danced on the water creating a shine that reflected so brightly I had to close my eyes as I ran by.  I went inside my head and I mentally asked my guides to help me to see what it was that was holding me back from achieving my goals.  Immediately, I felt a fear with a thought that accompanied this feeling.  then all of sudden it was like I was watching myself, similar to an out of body experience that I have had many times in my life time.  I was the voyeur watching the interaction between myself and the thoughts of fear.   I became aware that I was in two places at one time inside my head.  I heard myself saying the words of fear and I felt my body respond with a cringe, yet at the same time I was watching all of this from a distance.  I silenced my thoughts by telling myself, cancel that thought and replace it with what you want to see happen.  I did this immediately inside my head and as I, the voyeur, was watching me do this, I became aware of the fact that I was aware, and I heard my voice inside my head tell me, myself, awaken the power within you to make the positive changes, awaken the feminine light, the power of the force, and watch it all come to you as you ask.  I began to recreate the scene within my head as I would like it to be, and as I did, I felt a warmth that was unlike any other I have ever felt.  It was so overwhelming that I had to cry, as the tears streamed down my face, I felt the trail of tears leaving behind a cold and very comfortable feeling.  My heart was light and my thoughts were beggining to clear.  I, the voyeur, was very pleased with what I was witnessing and I stepped in to tell myself, this my friend is how you listen to the power within, this is how to awaken the person inside.  I was so taken that I had to write about this and share it with you.  May you be as blessed!  Listen to the power within, Awaken the light inside.

Namaste,

This morning as I was practicing my morning ritual of giving thanks, saying my clearing mantra, giving thanks and praying.  Then all of a sudden I thought what is it that I am doing or not doing to create all the abundance I truly want in my life?  So I began to be thankful for all that I have and all that I am.  This usually does the trick for me and as if by magic all my guides and angels line everything up for me and I begin to see, feel and hear things flow naturally and easily to me.   So I thought, I believe I am stuck because, I am falling back into the comfort of having everything be comfortable.  Then as if to hear an angel say to me look up, I did and I saw the majesty of a silver hawk open his wings and fly over my head.  I was so taken by the sight that it literally knocked the wind out of me.  Then I thought what is this bird doing here in a common neighborhood?  It is out of its natural environment!  It belongs in a mountain setting.  Then, I realized it was a sign!  I had been given a sign, this bird was out of its comfort zone.  That was the answer, I need to be out of my comfort zone in order to get unstuck! I spoke to myself mentally….. Marti, you need to be out of your comfort zone in order to grow!!  There you have it, the more you can be out of your comfort zone the more you will grow. Think outside the box! Be strong, Be bold, Be all that you can be.  Be out of your comfort zone!  Fly like a bird!

Thank you for the sign!

There is a lot of talk among the New Age communities about a return to feminine energy and a return to feminine leadership.  Somehow, it is believed that with women in charge we will somehow clean up all of the world’s problems and magically bring civilization back to a place of beauty and harmony living off the land in a peaceful nurturing way.  I am not sure that this is truly how it will be.   But we can all live in this dream of creation and hopefulness as we anticipate the coming of 2012.  I believe that the time is here when we must begin to usher in this new energy.  Make room  in our mental closets, open our minds, touch our hearts and let our spirits flow.    So what does USHER really mean?  When I look up the word usher-I get this definition-(To bring forward (a plan, for example) for consideration.)  Yes it is time, 2010 is the time to bring forward the age of restoration.  To restore the peace, harmony and love…. all that we have lost with all the  excess male energy surrounding the universe.   We are living in the second and third Chakras.  This can be very harmful  to us as a society.  We are beginning to see the harm and destruction that this can cause.   In one of my previous articles, I write about the difference of the male and feminine energies and how they are represented in our bodies, right and left side.   Today with much meditation and help from the guides that are using my fingers right now to write this, I know different, the male energy has its inception in the lower half of the body and the female energy rules the upper part of the body.  Chakras one, two and three are ruled by the male dominance, and the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh Chakras are ruled by the dominance of the female light, the female energy.  This can only be known by those who listen and tune themselves into their own energy.  When we begin to respect and usher in this great energy that lives in all of us …. male and female….we begin to heal our lives, our planet, our world and our own light.  So with this I chant this feminine energy yoga chant:

Namah Shivaya Gurave Saccidananda  Murtaye Nishprapaneaya Shantaya Niralambaya Tejase

Chant with me as we usher in the beauty and the splendor of this feminine energy.

Today Sunday as I sit here on my lanai in this beautiful island of Hawaii, I feel blessed, blessed for my health, my wealth and my prosperity.  I accept myself for all that I am and all that I have.   This is not the way it has always been for me.  In my quest for good health I have learned many things and most importantly learned to accept those I cannot change. When we live with illusions we cannot heal.

There are three main illusions that plague us in our quest to heal our lives, bodies and souls.  The first of these illusions is that we are this body.  We identify with this body.  When we do this we use the theory that we are “Finite”.  This is the furthest thing from the real truth.  We are not this body, we are beautiful souls housed in this body that has been on loan to us for our time here on this earth.  It is our temple our temporary home during our journey here on this finite land.  We must learn to accept the fact that we are more than what we can see in the mirror.  We are beautiful light beings.   The second illusion is that our quest in life is the pursuit of happiness.  The problem with this myth is that our understanding of happiness is confused with pleasure.  Pleasure is not happiness.  Pleasure should not be confused with happiness.  It is in this confusion that we become ill.  We become disillusioned with life.  We are seeking and never finding.  We become entangled in a cyclical web of self destruction.  The more pleasure we seek in the aim of happiness the less we find it, and so it goes.  Happiness goes much deeper, it goes to the soul, to our true being-ness.     The third illusion is Power.  The power to be happy, to be healthy, to be what we need to be to have it all.  The illusion of seeking power is been with us since our inception.  Have we not learned from the cartoons of old that always depict the villain as the one seeking all the power at any cost, thinking all along that this power will bring them happiness, only to find that at the end the bigger they are the harder they fall.  We fall into thinking that power is infinite and we go in search of this infinite power, we seek it through material things, we acquire many things.  Then all of a sudden we realize that things, power and other such illusions are not the answers.  Falling into these three illusion will only serve to keep you in a state of stasis.  This place of cyclical unhappiness and illusionary feelings.   We need to learn to love and accept ourselves totally, unconditionally and lovingly.  Love is the only answer for healing.  Love is the true power.  Love in its purest sense if the real healing.  Love yourself, accept yourself and begin to heal yourself from the inside out and this will heal your mind, your body, and your life circumstance.  We must learn to give love, receive love, share love and accept love.  When we can truly do this will be able to begin our healing.  The healing of our body, lives, spirit and most importantly the healing for this land we call mother earth.

Aloha  and Namaste!

Healing is the buzz word in society today.  The truth is that many people are walking around society today not knowing that the only way to live a life that is most gratifying and satisfying is by healing.  Healing your life. Healing your mind body and spirit.  But what does that really mean?  When I share my yoga with my yogini’s and yogi’s on Sunday mornings, I heal before my class even begins.  I have become very good at listening to my guidance.  I send healing energy to all the folks who happen to be in the room sharing the yoga asanas with me.  When you look up the word “heal” you get this;

–verb (used with object)

1. to make healthy, whole, or sound; restore to health; free from ailment.

2.to bring to an end or conclusion, as conflicts between people or groups, usually with the strong implication of restoring former amity; settle; reconcile: They tried to heal the rift between them but were unsuccessful.

3.to free from evil; cleanse; purify: to heal the soul.

If you take the first meaning you find that restore to health.  This is great but I would go one beyond, and say that healing is to restore our inner soul, to the beginning, to be able to be at the set point of the beginning of your life here on earth.

To be able to move forward as a whole person, one must heal your thoughts which are powered by emotions, as well as our actions that are powered by the emotional thoughts.

Healing the way we think, will heal the way we act, and the way we act will heal our relationships and healing our relationships will heal our lives.  It must succeed this way.

so each day before you jump out of bed begin by saying these words of healing and gratitude

“divine mother, father, God, holy spirit, son as one, please move my thoughts, move my emotions, move my body for my highest good and the highest good of all and begin to heal your life.  May you begin to heal your life and the circumstances surrounding your life will heal!

Sending light, love and healing to you all.

Namaste,

Today is a healing day.  As a Reiki master level three with more than 3 certification from three different schools of Reiki, I have come to be able not only to feel energy, but to see energy.  This seeing is something I  was born with.  As a child I remember thinking that I was posessed and that I was a devil child.  Why could I seem to do things with my mind that other kids did not.  I remember wishing bad things on a person and with my eyes fixed on the person, I would bring the feelings of hurt, destruction and terror to my mind and heart.  I would stare at the person with the coldest thoughts and simultaneously thinking the words ” Harm, Hate, Anger and Revenge. My body would begin to heat up and then all of a sudden I would hear the person who was the object of this energy, scream stop it, stop it!  Those words would break my concentration and before I knew it I was in total shock by the tears and fear I saw in that persons eyes.  I would ask “What happened?” not conciously knowing the harm I was causing or that I was the one causing this harm with my thoughts, emotions and feelings.  Then all of a sudden I would get this overwhelming feeling that I was bad, I was a bad seed, this was not God’s work but the work of the devil.  I felt awful.   I remember being the only one on the block that everyone wanted to play the Ouija board with, I could make the eye move without touching it.  It would move on its own.  I could make doors close and people hurt.   Why?   Why?  Why me?  How could I be so bad, so dark, so ugly.  I remember being afraid to go to church for fear that I would burn inside, after all that was what happened to bad people.  Who could help me?  The only person who could help me was my grandmother, who on her death bed said to me- You are different of the 23 grandkids, You can see.  Why me? I was the oldest of the 5th son.  I was born on the 5th month.  I was 5 when I began to manifest this “curse”.  All of my young life, as a teenager, I was living in fear that I must be in control or else the bad in me might come out.  I did everything I could to hide this thing inside me.  I did not realize that It was a part of me.  What was it that I could make people hurt? Revenge? Anger? Fear?  As an adult, I have come to realize that this “thing” could have consumed me.  It could have ruined my life if I allowed it.  I never realized that people could sense it.  I went to psychics and readers who all told me that I could be the one doing the reading, that I had psychic powers.  I never believed them.  I spent my entire adult life looking and searching for answers, never having faith that I was not given a curse but had been given a gift.  So today, I have come to know that I don’t have a curse but a gift.  I am healing.  I am healing.  I am love.  I have been given the gift of healing others and helping them find their healing.  I am sharing who I am.  I am ready.   After living a life that would make a reality show seen like a cartoon, I am ready to heal, to love and to accept all that I am and all that I have.  Now in the age of Aquarius beautiful things will happen, 2010 is the beginning of a new earth, new world, new love.  May my healing bring all of you to a place of silence, love and understanding.

Namaste,

December 31st 2009,  will present a celestial event that happens only once every 2.5 years the next blue moon will happen again on August 31, 2012.  This New years marks a very special and spiritual event that for many of us is quite needed.  This is the time for New and inspired beginnings. This lunation, occurring on the last day of the year, can help sweep away low-vibration attitudes and situations, generating a force field of joy to bless the New Year. This is a very special event in that there will be a lunar eclipse and a “Blue Moon”.  This only happens Once in a Blue Moon A “Blue Moon” occurs when two full moons happen in one calendar month.  We will be experiencing the alignment of the lunar and solar calendars and a rare blue moon on December 31. This will be a potent time.  There are many challenges the world is facing today.  There are also many of us facing tremendous challenges in our daily lives.  As I move on with my studies in yoga therapy,  I am finding that for thousands of years the teachings have been that the greatest power to heal and to transform is love.

So on this very special day I ask you to join me in ushering in the birth of the Female light and kundalini energy.

Today  December 31, 2009 throughout the day and evening I invite you to join with me to drop into a deep place of unconditional love. This means opening your heart with absolutely no expectations of what will come from this event.     Place your hands on your heart and breathe deeply into your heart feeling the love for the earth, life, and all that is precious to you. Take some time and get into a true place of love that goes beyond your thinking mind.

Start by experiencing love for yourself and all you have been through to get you to this point in life. And when you feel ready expand your heart and allow your love to flow out to our circle throughout the world.

1) Light a red candle, saying something like,

This flame reminds us that we are not alone, but accompanied by the light and power of Omnipresent Good, that is guiding us and assisting us to let go of conditions, belongings, relationships and attitudes that limit the expression of joy and love.

2) Light incense as you say:

This is an offering for the Divine Mother and the Angels of Release and Joy, whose assistance I request to complete this cycle and enter into a new, more joyful phase of existence.

3)  Say this while holding your hands close to your heart.

I’m ready to rediscover joy, I’m ready to release any attitude or situation that inhibits joy. Thank you, Divine Mother-Father,Holy spirit, son as one for lifting these unnecessary burdens from me and my life. Thank you. Thank you.

Then bgin to dance with  your joy guides and angels!!  Smile, laugh and love all!

May you be blessed and full of love this beautiful day– The gateway to our New Beginnings!!

I send you all Love, Light and blessings!!

Namaste,

Today, was phenomenal morning!  I was driving through the desert to get to work.  I had just called upon the earth guides to come and and ground me, wow, they act fast when you believe with your heart.   I was in the windiest part of my drive when up ahead of me at the crack of dawn, I saw something in the near distance.  As I got closer I realized that I was looking at a magnificent Ram.  As I drove closer I saw the aura of this majestic animal it was grand, it was an orange, white and gold color and in the center of this cloud of colors was this great strong creature looking ahead at his path.  I was amazed and mesmerized at the same time.  I could not believe that I had gotten close enough to see the details of his great brown horns ( not sure if that is the name) with light tan ridges, it was as if every ridge signified a year of experience that this animal had accumulated.  The feeling I got immediately grounded me, it was as though I had been given a puff of strength, stability and majesty at the same time.  I felt it deep within my 4th Chakra and it was so strong it made take a deep double breath.  I had only experienced this type of breath in deep meditation.   I was hypnotized by the valor and strength that this animal exuded.  He did not flinch as I got closer with my car but I could hear him say ” I am here, Follow my strength”.   Then all of a sudden he took a very calculated two steps and walked away.  I felt so blessed, so overwhelmed with a feeling of energy, that I could not contain it, It made me scream, and I was glad noone was in the car with me or they would have thought I was crazy. I had just experienced a transfer of energy that cannot be explained in words.  My whole being was filled with a powerful force that it was almost overwhelming.   The feeling  from all this energy was a rush of adrenaline that lasted, and stayed in me for hours.  I felt tall and strong and protected!  I carried this feeling around with me the whole day.  It was amazing!    The fact that as an Auravoyant I can see the magnificent colors of many living things is a blessing I know that now and I am beginning to embrace this gift and as I do the signs and wonders of the spiritual world are becoming more and more evident to me.  I am humbled and I am truly blessed on a daily basis!!   I am grateful for all that I am and everything I have.  I am at peace.

Namaste,

In this world where we are socially indoctrinated to believe that instant gratification is where it is at,  we need to realize it is not the way of the spirit nor is it the way our the natural flow of our bodies.  We all know that we have been given this body as a rental during our stay here on this earth.  This being the only truth of our bodies, we continue to treat our bodies with out respect.  This is not the way of the spirit of yoga.  In our yoga journey we begin to realize that to have the patience to allow our bodies to recover or adjust to whatever it is they need is truly the way of the spirit.  Following this tradition we must also know that when we change something in our bodies and or mind we must give it time to sink in, time to become one with us and our spirit.  Interestingly enough in my nutritional practice I do not see this happening.  This saddens me.  I have a beautiful client who is young in her body and she does not understand that her treatment of her “temple” will not allow her to have this “rental” for very long if she continues on this path of self destruction.  She came to me because she believes in natural medicine, or so she claims, yet whenever we meet I suggest that she slow down and practice patience, and take the supplements that will allow her body to find its way on its own terms at its own time.  She takes all this in claiming that she will do this, but then I get a frantic call claiming that what she is doing is not working, and she would like to see results in a more rapid manner.  I reassure her that it will take time for her body to find its own way and that she must nurture it.   This is not uncommon from many of my other clients, they all seem to want the nutritional guidance I give them to work immediate miracles.  This is not the way of our bodies!  This is not the way of our spirit!  Here is a quote from a doctor whom I admire and have had the privilege of meeting !  Dr. Ray Strand;
There is a major misconception about supplementation. In this era of medication, people believe that they should notice differences within a few days to a week or two. However, nutritional medicine is totally different from allopathic or traditional Western medicine. Nutritional supplements are simply nutrients the body uses in its normal enzymatic reactions. They are not medicines. They are nutrients from our foods, but supplementation allows us to get them at optimal levels that diet alone cannot provide.

It takes between 6 to 12 months to replenish any nutritional deficiency and optimize the body’s natural immune system, antioxidant defense system, and repair system. If you are over 30 years of age or already have a chronic degenerative disease, it may even take longer. This is why I stress over and over that you need to give nutritional supplementation a minimum of 6 months, or even better a year, before you evaluate the benefits. When my patients tell me that they will try using my recommended supplements for a month, I tell them not to even start. If you are not willing to try my recommendations for at least 6 months, you should not even begin.

It is reassuring to know that even a medical doctor faces the same challenges that I do as a Yoga Therapist and Nutritionist.  Remember,

it took a long time to get out of sink, let us remember that it will also take time to get back in sink, but it will happen with full faith and belief but most of all patience and guidance from someone who cares and knows!

To all my readers I say be well, follow the way of the spirit and take a deep breath!!

Namaste,
