Beauty is the primary motivation for the musical creations of Daniel Kobialka and his aim is to carry the listener if the listener wishes to join.

Wonder of Sound

Music truly has been his life. Daniel grew up in a musical household and made his debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of 15. It is a generational gift that he shares with his children. More gifts discussed:

• Cross cultural: Music is a Universal Language
• Time transcendant: We are still gifted by historical musical masters
• Multi-use: From meditation to hospice & autism to accelerated learning

The dedication that Daniel puts into his work comes from harmony, structure and organization and is “not just freely thrown on a canvas.” The subjective appreciation of music is very inclusive and allows for a relationship between the musician and the listener. Some words used in expression of this seemingly auditory experience include:

• aroma & texture
• floating & depth
• truthful

More info can be found in the book he edited: “The Wonder of Sound ~ It’s Application in the Healing Arts” which is a collection of articles from Music Therapists, Researchers, Musicians, Doctors & Alternative Healers.

Psychic, Intuitive, Medium… Signs, Guides, Messages… Purpose, Destiny, Choice… Thank you Tyrrell for helping us begin to sort it all out!

Finding Your Purpose Through Your Psychic Intuition

Did you know you can have more than 1 purpose? Since life is always evolving, curiosity is a great way to approach your purpose.

You can ask for guidance from God, the Angels & your Spirit Guides and your answers will come and be unique to you. These signs can look like: finding pennies, flashing street lights & repeating occurrences…

It is important to realize that the communication with your guides is a process that is like developing a language with you.

We discussed repeating patterns and the hooks that can keep people from realizing their purpose and the sense of expansion that comes with that. Tyrrell doesn’t like to impose restrictions on what is or what may become. Instead she advises ‘resting in the moment’ and taking the personal pressure off.

There is a streaming energy flow to do with your purpose, and getting into that stream can speed you along in life.

The mind is a busy protector that may inhibit our ability to listen within and hear from our hearts. It is important to de-stress and relax the mind. There are many tools to enhance your intuition:

• Write in a notebook
• Self enquiry & listening
• Meditation (thank you for the specific examples)

You will know it is real because of the feelings: happy, expanded, tingly… And if you are still not sure, ask for clear, specific, obvious proof! Tyrrell also recommended waiting for your answers with a playful attitude ~ and practice!

My sense of self importance was shaken when David suggested that some of the non-physical beings might not care that I’m here and I’m physical!

Incarnational Spirituality

We can have relationships with non-physical beings as David did with John, a teacher & mentor for him for many years. He also gave a wonderful example of how the renowned gardens in Findhorn could exist in inhospitable environs with the co-creative forces from the non-physical realms and “release miraculous capacities”.

There are 3 main zones of reality that David has identified:

1. Incarnational: physical, mental, emotinal, energetic
2. Hyper-Dimensional or Higher Order: hard to wrap our minds around… unknown upper limit
3. Transitional: many layers, bringing together the Incarnational and Higher Order zones

There is a necessarily subjective nature to all spiritual explorations because the objects of our observation always need to be through our eyes. We have our glamour (which I found out as in his example of marriage, isn’t all bad) and we are the center of our perceptual universe… but there is an interesting balance between: the seduction of significance & being containers for Spirit.

David does not see the ecological layers as hierarchical. There are 2 considerations for non-physical as well as physical contact so you will more easily know what you are seeing and experiencing:

1. The subtle energy of contact
2. The substance of contact

It was interesting to find out that David doesn’t consider these realms a spiritual issue or religious issue, but an ecological issue of co-existing and co-creating for the betterment of existence and how we participate in the wholeness of the world.

Thank you David, for walking us through an exercise for self honor and appreciation!

By Pelecanos 1478

The Alpha & Omega of Spiritual Birth… The Uroboros is rich in symbolism that Emilie interprets through evolution, fluidity and movement. With the mouth as the Alpha and the tail as the Omega, this symbolizes the Eternal cycle of birth, death & resurrection. The serpent was the first to make it’s way from water to land & is a pioneer of consciousness.

The Eternal Return

Emilie describes the stages of identity & evolution which all stems from her initial observation of undulating movement that she identified as ‘moving prayer.’

1. The Cultural Anatomy is necessary to anchor us in time & place
2. The Primordial Anatomy would encompass the empathy & honor
3. The Cosmic Anatomy is a completely creative & fluid presence

Our bodies are fluid systems. Water flows and resonates. The fluidity of movement and conscious potential is restricted by compressed fluids within our bodies. These compressions lock us in time & can come from:

• stress: physical or mental / emotional
• regimented, redundant, repetitive thought or behaviour
• trauma: physical or emotional

There is no better way to begin to move restrictions than with sound. Emilie demonstrated O and E sounds and she has researched these & other sounds extensively, particularly with paralysis as the ultimate lack of movement. She is excited about:

• Glial cells: creative; alternate conduction potentiality
• Gel-sol phase transition structure: primary movement of the cells
• The embryo as a ‘fractal of burgeoning life’

Ending the ‘fragmentation of our spiritual bio-cosmic existence’ is Emilie’s life’s work and Continuum promotes personal exploration through honor & relevancy.

Recommended books are in the LOH Amazon Store: (1) Koob on Glial cells & (2)”The Compassionate Brain”

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What a great key word to implement easy, peaceful change in life! What a powerful guided process Grant took us through!

ZPoint for Peace

The Z represents a place of balance and a place where everything exists. It encompasses where the Truth lives & both sides of duality. It is beyond emotional upset and Grant and I talked about it as a “tranquil” izer.

Grant shared that the core component of the process is to let the subconscious do the transforming once the process is in place. The process is all about letting go of what isn’t truly you so that the joy or the positive aspects can shine through.

• It’s heart stuff – not mind stuff
• You don’t think it – you know it
• It’s not about the story – it’s not talk therapy… but you feel the story

It’s a program that is read into your subconscious mind to let go of difficult feelings that are triggered. Healing intention that is activated by a special word. Symbols to work on broad areas of upset and not just one emotion at a time.

There can be feeling around:

• A time in life
• A relationship feeling
• A characteristic feeling of a circumstance.

We develop subconscious patterns over time, sometimes early in life & we act can on a ‘secondary gain‘ such as procrastination which puts in conflict with ourselves. ZPoint is a quick and easy protocol about making peace with these parts & letting go of limiting beliefs in order to free ourselves, making this perfect for activating the Law of Attraction. Root beliefs include:

• I dont’ have permission
• If i get “it,” it will cause me more grief than it’s worth
• I don’t deserve it

With our thoughts and emotions so tied together, this gives us the ability to have the fullness of our emotions without self-identifying with any of them or sabotaging ourselves. Also, Grant says that the more we do it, the better it gets: including the positive physical effects of stress reduction.

You are as good as gold! And this, in turn, is trans-formative for all of humanity. According to Rue Hass, healing is a co-creative journey and this is the perspective she takes in her work.

Emotional Freedom Technique for Spirit

Rue noted that sensitive people tend to take things in more deeply than any other temperament – both good and bad. She would like you to see your sensitivity as a strength. So often we look for what is wrong with us and try to get rid of it, but shifting the perspective can make all the difference to your health.

EFT is a technique based on the meridian system and implements gentle tapping in specific spots with customized statements to heal the emotions.

Rue walked us through a 20 minute example (!) of what can be done with EFT and she noted that this was not standard but customized to her approach and my request.

There are 4 main foundations to Rue’s unique work: EFT, NLP, Hypnosis & her time at Findhorn in Scotland.

Health approached with the question, “Will it fix me?” gives the power to the: modality / pill / surgery / professional. Rue suggested that healing arises from a heartful intention in the relationship with all interacting components.

Emotions such as anger, sadness, grief and shame can limit us in our lives and erode our health.

Selfishness is often seen as a characteristic to be avoided – especially for big-hearted and sensitive people. It can also be defined as: Caring for Ourselves which Rue believes to be ‘distilled Soul’ and therefore Self Care = Soul Care.

This has been an incredible week! The sparks started flying on the 6th and it’s as if the flood gates have opened up since then! People have been reaching out to try to hang on and working hard at ”boomeranging” the energy to harness and direct it.

Sparks & Acceleration

There were an excessive amount of energetic sparks flying on the 6th and it really got my attention… It takes a fair bit to get my attention these days as I’m in the midst of a personal creation process which fills my time, to say the least. So, let’s break this down:

The sparks ignite at the moment of release whereas the build up has typically gone on for at least a little while. Think static electricity. These sparks have different color depending on the aspect or characteristic the change. For example:

• Blue indicates release or rapid change (good and bad)
• Red is passion (good and bad)
• Yellow is ideas (good and bad)

You get the idea.

I used the word ‘release‘ and also above I used the words ‘flood gates.’ It is important to say what it’s NOT: You were not holding anything back that you needed to ‘let go of.’           This is an important point of distinction because the sparks aren’t linear. Otherwise I’d see lines at the least or a process instead.

Also mentioned is ‘build up‘ and that is really no different than the build up to any other event. To go to work, you have to ‘build up‘ to the moment you walk out your front door… ideally you will have taken care of hygiene, food, and appropriate attire. Less ideally (in my opinion), you stroll around in your pajamas as seems to be the fashion these days. So, you can see that it is a natural process rather than the kind of pressure build up as in a dam.

It is closer to transformation or activation or birth or emergence. Even with the blue above, it is NOT about ‘processing’ stuff or a conversion of thoughts.

It is NEW energies, beliefs, insights, flare ups… This in itself can be a tough concept because almost all of what we know is ‘laddered information,’ meaning that we relate to it through something else and build on that. (In school they work on strengthening that to make learning easier.)

The word ‘release‘ is only applicable in that the NEW info can’t co-exist in the same context as the old. Imagine realizing that the earth was round. You can believe only one of the thoughts: flat or round… And, realizing the earth is round changes *everything about: exploration and discovery, shipping, safety concerns, tidal observations… So, in that sense you’d have to ‘let some stuff go,’ but it’s not the central point.

The central point (the spark) occurs the moment you have the realization. The rest is just a cascade effect.

The energy flow that we’re in is the cascade effect from whatever opened up for you at the time of the sparks. It kind of reminds me of going down a water slide because the event / incident / insight provoking sparks change everything. You can’t go back up the waterslide any more than you can un-know that the world is round, to keep with our examples.

This is unique for each person because the scenarios in your life will set you up for particular directions & growth and you can’t see what you’re not ready to see… Actually, you can but it just won’t be meaningful or make a difference to you: it is similar to showing a baby a briefcase full of a million dollars.

So, what do you do about it? Think about the water slide example… You’ve got choices:

1. Lay down and make it a hell of a ride! (my choice)
2. Sit up and pace yourself (recommended if you are stressed)
3. Flail wildly and try to get off (not recommended as it will just cause problems)

In pacing yourself, I’d recommend going ‘back to the basics’ – whatever that means to you. Return to a foundational level rather than trying to find a new answer at this point. After all, you are going down the chute – it’s not the time to go shopping for a new swimming suit.

You are never alone and consider these dawnings opportunity to ”lower your center of gravity” to create more stability in your life. In the Grande Scheme of Things, it looks like it can pass pretty quickly, not unlike a waterslide and you definitely get choice as to whether you will do it again or not.

If you personified your thoughts on money… what would money look like to you? I was shocked to see that my “Money Mask” looked like a zombie! I was thrilled to be able to transform that image into my “Money Muse” with Nan’s help in her guided meditation!

Secrets to Master Your Money Mind

There is an interesting contrast between $ money $ and wealth. Nan made that distinction in that money is a tool and a product whereas true wealth is reflected in every area of your life through: outlook, opportunities as well as relationships and beyond.

Money can take on different faces:

• The Money Mask: our money fears personified (untrustworthy? transient? lifeless?)
• The Money Muse: our perfected & wealthy inner guidance & reference (wise, supportive, healthy)

Our relationship with money closely mirrors our external relationships and healing our Money Mind can have external consequences as well. Nan cited her relationship with her dad as an example of that kind of powerful transformation.

Affirmations are a great way to replace and reprogram your Money Blueprint by giving us a new supportive dominant thought rather than having our fears run the show. Nan gave us some really great affirmations:

• It’s easy and fun to change my mindset or choose what I want!
• Money loves me. Money runs to me. Money stays with me and plays with me.

Everything is opportunity! Opportunity for wealth and the Field of Abundance is everywhere: it flows through us, it surrounds us, it is made of everything. I was very shocked when Nan shared that, according to one study, happy people earn somewhere around $700,000 more over their lifetime than unhappy people. Mindset matters!

How do you make sense of Reality? We are told about affirmations, physical exercise, meditation, medication, attitude shifts, Law of Attraction, the esoteric energy systems, nutrition… It goes on!

Layers of Health: Integrating Body, Mind & Spirit – Part 1 of Energy Bootcamp

There are so many Truths in the world – and yet, what is true for you? Through working with over 5,000 people both 1:1 and in groups, my views and perspectives evolved through working with these questions foremost in my mind:

• If there is Truth, where is it?
• How does it apply? & Why?
• What is the ‘bottom line?’

It’s not hard to conclude that people just want to be happy. So, then the exploration included: How does happiness happen? What is true happiness? The exploration was through a process of appreciative inquiry where I began to look for where happiness was, as opposed

to looking for where it wasn’t. Here are some generalized, ‘categorized’ conclusions outlined in dimensional tiers:

• 3D – Physical, waking reality, where we ‘live from,’ now
• 4D – Thoughts, emotions, archetypes, timeline, duality
• 5D – Unconditional love, freedom, lasting healing, soul map, Heaven (and higher)
• 6D – Concurrent inter-dimensional realities, all possibilities all at once
• 7D – Unity, All That Is

These are all you, all the time, but – How you hold your consicousness determines your perception of ‘reality.’ Each Dimensional Layer is critical. Higher is not better. It is the integrated flow that allows for the appropriate evolution of your life.

You are meant to be you – it is critical because nobody else can do that or be that. Without your piece of the puzzle, the whole system is incomplete and would collapse – You are the key that holds the Universe together!

Appreciating this Multi-Dimensional model can be a lot like mental gymnastics. A favorite example is if you draw a stick figure. It’s 2D. Imagine this character trying to understand and appreciate a 3D reality: It would be very challenging! We covered some case studies & concepts:

• Relationships, Body Image & Self-Worth
• ‘Lady Luck,’ Time & Divine Flow
• Job Loss or Promotion & Identity
• Feelings versus Intuition & Manifestation

“Nuggets” seem to be at the center of our Responsibility process. Honor is the key and wisdom is the reward.

Pebble in the Pond: Micro and Macro

Responsibility is a huge topic! Barbara Watson and I looked at a lot of angles with this call: Homelessness – Family – Self-Expectations – Physiology – Archetypes…

The definition that seemed most appropriate seemed to make the most sense for our purposes: The ability to self-reference in honor of your surroundings and honor of others.

The word itself really lends itself to our comments about presence:

• Responsibility -> responsible -> respond
• No mention of reacting, of being trapped, of feeling obligated
• It is a presence. It can be found in silence…

Silence is a lot more than not talking. Naked honesty is what you sit with once you are silent: Hold no expectations… Expectations go hand in hand with the word ‘should’ when held with inflexibility and can cause you to be ‘off your center’ and:

• Your (in)sight to be off so that you draw false conclusions
• Unexpected opportunity will bounce off of this field
• Even heroic archetypes are constraining although well-meaning
• This can limit your field of manifestation.

Self-centered is a good thing: To be centered within your spiritual center inside yourself. Being in the moment, each response that you will take is different because each moment is different.

Thank you Barbara for the guided meditation! Silence is not about not speaking. You can be receiving when you are silent. Where did your responsibilities go in the moment of silence?

Your Homework From:

• Nina: Evaluate and assess conceptually what are you responsible for in your prosperity consciousness: family, bills… prosperity: personal meaning… beyond the $
• Barbara: Be responsible to yourself to stop for 5 or 10 min in your day. Allow the silence with yourself (or do her included meditation)
