Energy Healing Therapy: What is it? Part 4

My personal healing  journey began before I began taking energy healing workshops. At this point, I had no idea I was heading down the path to becoming an energy healer. I didn’t have a clue what was ahead. My journey toward this started after the car accident. I had reached a healing plateau with Gail and the Chiropractor. Gail told me about a self help seminar that taught you a method of releasing emotions to which you are attached from your body. Hearing that it was in my head or heart from both of them, I had to find out if that was true so I decided to take the seminar. read...

Energy Healing Therapy: What are some Benefits? Part 3

I received energy healing modalities before I began taking the classes to become an energy healing practitioner. I worked on issues of long standing and on recent day to day things that occur in every life.  I worked on grief, love, loss, hate, feelings of not being lovable or loved, mothers, abuse, fears of all kinds, jealousy, envy, judgment, abandonment, anything and everything. As I worked on them, things began to change for me. Some of the big old issues began to lose their charge and the hurtful feelings began to lessen. read...

Energy Healing Therapy: What is it? Part 2

Continuing on  my series on Energy Healing Therapy.  If you haven’t read  the first blog I wrote on this topic, it might be helpful to do so. As I was saying in the first post, everything that happens to us gets stored in our energy field.  Now I am going to introduce another component to this.  I believe that we all have things to learn in this life and through those “teachings” or lessons, we grow and develop.  How we grow and develop depends on how we react to what we go through.  You have choices: become embittered, a victim, or you can accept what happened to you and look for the good in it.   I went the route of the victim, the poor me and probably embittered too. read...

Energy Healing Therapy: What is it?

  So what is energy and energy work?  Am I referring to an electrician coming out to work with the energy called electricity for our house?  No, I’m talking about the energy that we have in and around our bodies, the energy that makes up our bodies.  The energy that helps us do so much with these wonderful forms called bodies and with the thoughts in the brain or mind and the feelings in our hearts.  Emotions are a form of  energy too. We are all made up of energy. Energy is also called Chi or Prana. The Chinese, Japanese and Indian cultures have studied energy and recognized that you can be aware of the energy in the bodies and manipulate the energy for better health, emotional stability and more.   We have an energy field around us that contains an aura.  Everything that happens to us affects our energy field. Our energy fields hold much of what happens to us, happy events, traumas and everything in between. Have you ever noticed when something reminds you of an extremely happy event, you immediately start smiling and feeling some fantastic feelings?  If you stop to notice, you’ve triggered the event that is in your energy field where you first experienced that happy occasion. The same is true, if not more so with a trauma. Anything close to that trauma sets off that emotional response that we stored there when the initial event took place. And nothing seems to dislodge it. read...

Save Our Rights to Organic and Healthy Foods

Markets have always been a driving force in our economy, has it not?  So why are the various government bureaucracies doing their best to shut down businesses that came about because a need developed that these small businesses are working to fill.  What might that be you ask? Good question.  The need is simply families and individuals who want healthier food for themselves and their families and in this particular case, raw milk. I received a blog today that really upset me.  I had been thinking about writing a blog on this subject for a couple of days.  This solidified the urge. read...

Family Break Part 4

The day was becoming increasingly hotter and hotter.  This was by the far the hottest day I had experienced here.  As we drove to the next winery, we passed a couple of single horse drawn carriages being driven my Amish men,  saw an Amish girl in her blue dress and white bonnet on her bike and another young Amish woman jogging.  The country side was full of beautiful looking farms. Soon we were at our last stop.  This time the winery was a much bigger enterprise, Raven’s Glenn Winery.  It was big and to be honest, I didn’t like the look of it enough to take a picture of it.  What a little photo snob I am! We went inside and saw a very long tasting bar. They also had racks and racks of wine.  Ray and I went to the bar and Loretta and Rose decided to relax on the porch in the white rocking chairs. read...

Family Break Part 3

Part 3 continues at Rainbow Hills! A pretty pool of water with a fountain in the middle stood in front of buildings and a gazebo shading some picnic tables. Behind the gazebo was a little bed and breakfast I was told. From the wine tasting room to the B&B structure was a open wooden structure that had more picnic tables under the canopy of trees that surrounded this sight.  We climbed up the stairs to this funky building. Inside looked like an old time bar, small, wooden.  But at one end, there were refrigerators that kept the wine cool for tasting. It was getting hotter. The lady had a German accent. Ray said on Fridays and Saturdays they have steak dinners. They hand you the raw steaks, you pick a table, barbecue it yourself and they bring you the rest of the food to your table.  Yellow Butterfly also offers steak dinners on the same nights. read...

Family Break Part 2

As Ray drove, I took some shots of the country side.  It was a gloriously beautiful day but blazingly, brutally hot and humid, too. We finally came upon a sign that read Yellow Butterfly Winery.  As we drove up the winding driveway, we came upon a beautiful huge barn completely painted yellow. There was an alpaca rolling in the dirt behind an enclosure, too.  As we walked up the stairs, we saw a sign in the window:  “Wine a little bit… You’ll feel better”.  Ray commented that the “ch” fell off the sign, that’s what the dots represented! read...

Family Break, Part 1

I’d been visiting with family, playing with my great nieces, going places with my nieces and my sister, sorting through family photos,  attending a funeral, and visiting with high school friends.    Monday of my  trip  was a day to play a real tourist in Ohio! My cousin, Ray, (he’s really my step-cousin but I’m upgrading him to real family because I really like him!) is taking myself, Loretta and Rose (Ray’s mother) to go on some winery tours. When I had told my husband what our plans were for Monday, he chuckled and said “Well, that will be a waste of time!”  Guess he felt that Ohio had little to offer in the way of wines!  I was going to give Ohio the benefit of the doubt and tour some of the country around where I was born and raised and the best part was I didn’t have to be anywhere near the drama.  Selfish you say?  Hell, yes,  and that was what I needed, a break.  I had the morning to myself, got up, made breakfast, had a shower and was ready. read...
