Let the Light shine in so that your Spirit can soar! This drama that we have invested…we get a little kickback…can actually be replaced by Lovely better stuff. Don’t worry, that other stuff still is a part of you—you just don’t have to Lead with it. You don’t have to recreate that scenario over and over again with family, friends, co-workers, people on the street, lovers. How does that sound? You can actually use it as compost to fertilize your canvas to grow beautiful pictures. Can you handle that? And then what is the picture you’d like to see on your canvas? Can you see yourself Healthy and Well? Can you see your life Happy and Whole? You know it’s what really feels good here. Go ahead. Project it. Paint it. Is there something keeping you from it? Who or what is it? Isn’t it you who gives the canvas permission to come to life? The Journey of a Thousand Steps begins with a single Wound. What is yours?
Join me on a Magnificent Journey. We will embark at the Origin of the Wound Place and traverse the Territory of Your Life. We will explore how the Wound gets animated in your body/mind/soul.

We will honor the Great Teaching and send it on its way to make the fertilizer to plant the New Seeds to grow the Beautiful Life you have always known… the You you’ve Always Been. As you become infused with Life-Giving Spiritual Light, You recreate the new scenario… what you see for yourself … what you know you truly want for yourself because it’s there deep down…because it makes you so happy… Because Only You Know.
In Sacred Space… join me in Illumination, Journey, Mythic Mapping, Divining Cards and Ritual.

“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect"
Chief Seattle
Life is a beautiful dream. Life is terribly traumatic. Life can be so many things. Be it beautiful or traumatic physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually, whether we source it or it “happens” upon us, it leaves an imprint on the energy body. What’s more, when anything directly affects any of our bodies, it does so because of an imprint in the energy body. We have an affinity for it. We attract it for our own individual healing. The energy body, though unseen by the naked eye, surrounds our physical body. Some people can see it, others sense it. Animals and small children are naturally open to it. Indigenous people can see it. It is what could be likened to body- language; that which is unsaid yet felt on a conscious and unconscious level.
Chakras are the energy centers that originate in our spine and vortex out through the front of our body. They each spin in a clockwise fashion and are related to the endocrine glands in the corresponding areas beginning with our pelvic area and going to the crown of the head. The eighth chakra resides above our heads at the top of our luminous energy field and the ninth is spirit which is outside our space and time and is connected to all.
Humans are whole beings. We are body, mind, emotions, soul and spirit. What effects one part surely affects the others.
Imagine we are a box with all parts of ourselves stuffed to the maximum with no room for anything else. All of a sudden the box opens and in comes one more thing. Everything in the box has to adjust a little to accommodate that one more thing. Imagine another thing entering in and what that does to the integrity of the contents. Aren’t we like that in a way? Here we are going through life with all our patterns…what we wear, what we drive...all of our opinions on things…the things that make us laugh, what makes us angry, how we choose to worship, what makes us really feel good, what makes us feel put upon or obligated and so on. Then something comes along and challenges one of our beliefs; one of our standards; one of our patterns. Everything being in its own integrity unto itself will have to shift to allow a new accommodation. What if that thing is traumatic, then how do we deal with it? Do we compensate? Do we compromise what we believe? How do we even know how to deal with it?
Think of our lives going forward like a straight line. Suddenly, something takes it off course. No matter how large or small, it will change the whole course of the line…maybe not as easily apparent at first as it will be down the line; down the road of our lives resulting in favorable or unfavorable ways depending on what took it off course.
For an example, say you have a comfortable job and one day you get a pink slip. You are no longer needed there and you have two weeks left of pay. You know there is still a paycheck for a little while; maybe you have saved up a little nest egg…but you were counting on that job. You had been there for years and you were looking forward to retirement in the not so distant future. You can imagine the myriad of emotions this sets off; shock, anger, fear, resentment…You tell yourself you will find another job while you are afraid, “what if I don’t?” How will I pay for my bills, house, credit cards? How will I support my kids? You mention it to friends and they sympathize with your situation, “poor woman”. I bring this up as an example of how a human drama can play out and start ripping at the fabric of a person. Why did this happen to me?
If you look at life as an educational opportunity, you may ask, “what do I have to learn about this?” or even, “this happened to me for a reason or it would obviously never happened, what in my life needs to change to correct it’s direction?”
Getting fired was an energy that came. We may have felt it as a blow to our solar plexis region, then a shock; a fear… and just as quickly an outrage. It wasn’t a direct hit to the physical body, it came in through our energy bodies, yet if we do not take measures to get back into balance our body will surely be affected just like the filled box or the redirected lifeline as mentioned above.
The LUMINOUS ENERGY FIELD is this field which surrounds the body. It is within this field that so much is being sensed which is not necessarily seen with the eyes or heard with the ears.
The four bodies: physical, mental/emotional, soul and spirit are connected, as my teacher Alberto Villoldo would say, as the Russian nesting dolls. The physical body innermost, the mental body enveloping and informing the physical, the soul enveloping the mental, emotional, and physical, and the spiritual body outermost informing and organizing them all like a blueprint.
The way to heal it is to go to the source in the energy body “nip it in the bud”, if you will, and it will trickle down to the other bodies with our support of the new way.
So in time, what affects our spirit eventually shows up in the physical. It takes the light of spirit to shine through our soul to our mental and emotional into our body; re-informing the affected chakra and the corresponding organs, glands etc. It is important to support the new changes made in our mental emotional and physical old patterns to allow the new ones to emerge.
This is called The ILLUMINATION PROCESS and is the basis, the very core of this work.
It is not so much about adding something to us to make us more. It is about subtracting the extraneous, that which is not ours... that which is no longer needed, and allow the jewel of our true essence, which has always been here, to shine through. Supporting the new dream with our words thoughts and actions will be so much easier because now the affinity for the thing is gone…the pull to it has been removed, so is the need to go there. Not only do we have the undesirable cleared away and sent to a better place, we have called in the awesome light of spirit to illuminate and fill that open area.
There is a natural and scientific law, ”nature abhors a vacuum”, which illustrates the replacement that happens when something has been taken away. What do we want to put in there?
We have come to a place of choice; a conscious choice. Now we have made it so much easier to make the changes we want to see happen in our lives. We don’t have to fight it, why did we need to fight anyway? The more we choose to make supportive choices for our new dream, the more graceful it will be for us. This is the difference between fate happening upon us, and allowing our true destiny, which aligns with our higher self, to pull us along.

"Let the Beauty we love be what we do"
Rumi
We want to heal because we want our lives to run more smoothly because we know deep down they can. We know we are beautiful magnificent beings. Let us not forget who we are. Let us not forget all the lovely things that happen to us and all the beauty we experience. This is all part of our blueprint, part of the glue that holds us together. Let us remember to hold space in beauty.
With beautiful blessings and love abounding,
Rita

It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
It is finished in beauty
