Manifesting Immediately

If you are reading this newsletter, you have probably heard versions of the following statements countless times. "Everything is energy." "It's all about frequency." "You create your reality." "What you think and feel, you attract more of into your reality." With the popularity of the movie The Secret and the teachings of The Law of Attraction, these concepts have become mainstream. Quantum physics has conclusively shown that everything really is energy, everything is frequency.

This month, I share about the doubts I had about my ability to manifest immediately. And I tell about the great results I've had, once I got past the doubt. When doing healing work, I've had rapid changes in physical and non-physical symptoms.

Making This Real in Life

Have these teachings significantly impacted your life? To measure this, pick an earlier time to compare with, say ten to twenty years.
Do you intentionally create your life? How successful are you in consciously working with energy, frequency, and the Law of Attraction?

1. Have your mental, emotional, and spiritual experiences of life improved?
2. If you feel upset about something, how easily and quickly are you able to return to peace and balance?
3. Have your physical circumstances improved?
4. Have your relationships improved?
5. Have 'problematic' areas of your life improved?
6. Has your physical health improved?
7. Have you experienced instantaneous emotional changes in response to healing techniques?
8. Have you experienced instantaneous physical changes in response to healing techniques?
9. Have you intentionally manifested circumstances in your life?
10. Have you intentionally manifested changes in your financial life? How about desirable career changes?
11. Are you consciously producing positive shifts in the world around you?

How This Works in Sandra's Life

Personally, I experience varying degrees of success in manifesting.

My Emotional World. I am consistently more happy, peaceful, and positive than ever before. I still become upset, but significantly less frequently. The intensity of my upsets is dramatically decreased, and in most cases, I return to positive perspectives quickly. For several years, I have used The Healing Codes to work with my emotional state, with fabulous results (including physical shifts). And I have recently begun doing The Emotion Code. I feel extremely fortunate to have these effective methods for helping myself (and others).

Fifteen years ago, I frequently remained upset for two weeks! Yuck. Compare this with my biggest upset in recent times. A couple of weeks ago, I was annoyed with my husband overnight, and that upset felt insufferably long. The following morning, I did The Emotion Code and instantly returned to being happy with him. I'll share more about this below in The Emotion Code.

My Life Circumstances and My Relationships. My life circumstances have completely changed, and I am extraordinarily happy. I married a Canadian and moved to British Columbia. Here is the story I tell when people ask how I met Ken. After the presidential re-election several years ago, I said to myself, "Now would be a good time to move to Canada." I had never considered this before. In two weeks, I met Ken, and shortly thereafter, we were discussing my eventual immigration. I definitely manifested that one.

My Physical Health. My health is certainly better. This is contributed to by my diet and nutritional supplements, and by my improved state of mind. My level of stress has decreased significantly, which definitely helps.

I benefit physically both from the healing methods that I have received as a client, and from self-applied energetic techniques, including The Healing Codes and The Emotion Code (discussed further below).

Instantaneous Change & Doubt

Several weeks ago, I was stuck. Two things were staring me in the face, making me look at the doubts I have about my ability to manifest instantaneous physical changes.

I was about to attend the Emotion Code workshop. On teleconferences, I had listened to Dr. Bradley Nelson use the technique on people's issues, frequently with instantaneous physical results - reductions in pain and increases in flexibility and function. Even though much of the work that I have done for years is energetic and based on the principles of shifting frequencies to produce change, I still had doubts about my ability to noticeably impact symptoms.

The VibesUp energizing coasters were also triggering this doubt. According to Kaitlyn, creator of VibesUp, (the fabulous energized crystal products that I now wear and place all around me), the coasters have been tested using a frequency machine and shown to return genetically modified foods (GMO's) to the frequencies of natural and unmodified foods. Could changing the food's energy with the coaster actually change its DNA??

Really, I was doubting that modifying the frequency of something, anything, could actually result in physically visible, feel-able, and measurable changes. Here I was, doubting the basis of most of my work! Perhaps I could believe that other people could produce significant and instantaneous changes, because I had seen it happening with several people, including Dr. Nelson. However, I was definitely doubting that I could do so. Particularly with The Healing Codes, I had experienced changes occurring gradually over time, but I wanted immediate results. (Don't you?!)

I wanted to get this fear handled prior to attending the Emotion Code workshop, so I did Healing Codes to address the emotional blocks to my producing instantaneous results. And I focused a biofeedback session on, "I believe that changes in frequency manifest immediately."

The Emotion Code

The Emotion Code is a simple and easy method of identifying 'blocked emotions' using muscle testing. The blocked emotions can then be easily cleared. The technique can be used by an individual for themselves or for other people or animals.

This is not therapy, and it does not require that the recipient slog through stuff from the past.

If you are interested in information about The Emotion Code, go here. Listen to recordings of Dr. Nelson doing demonstrations here.

Instantaneous Results

It works! Since the workshop, I have had several experiences where releasing blocked emotions produced immediately noticeable changes. Just so you know, the majority of people are not aware of any shifts whatsoever, which is okay. Changes may still be occurring below the level of conscious awareness. Many people experience an immediate sense of lightness and peacefulness. Several later reported that they feel better, that things bother them less, and that their relationships are going more smoothly. Following are a couple of the more significant - and physical - results.

The day after the workshop, I personally experienced how intense negative feelings produce physical discomfort, and how releasing the blockages relieves the discomfort. I became annoyed with my husband Ken (as mentioned earlier). I knew I was being silly and that we'd both be happier if I talked with him, but I was unwilling to do it. The next morning, I was still annoyed, and the intense emotions had actually produced physical pain in my neck and back. (I have had periodic discomforts in these areas for years. Gee, I wonder why? Upsets and blocked emotions? I knew that consciously before, but now I had confirming evidence.) I did The Emotion Code, releasing several blocked emotions from my 'heart wall' (a protective 'wall' that I had built using blocked emotions). As each emotion cleared, I felt noticeably less upset. Immediately after I cleared the last of the heart wall emotions, I felt close to Ken, and I shared all of the emotional stuff that I had experienced. The difference was enormous and immediate. And when I stood up, the neck and back pain were completely gone.

Ken was having detoxification symptoms, including itchiness, his knee had started hurting, and he felt the lower back pain that he frequently experiences. As we released several blocked emotions, the itchiness moved around, decreased in intensity, then went away. His knee stopped hurting, and his back discomfort decreased.

The first person for whom I did The Emotion Code was a family member who experienced back pain most days. I did The Emotion Code and it felt a little better. I called him a week later and he said that it had gotten better, and that he only has occasional twinges now.

Deeper Belief in Frequencies & Manifestation

I now believe more deeply, based on personal experience, that frequencies and energies can physically manifest immediately. Negative thoughts and emotions ultimately produce pain and dysfunction. Releasing those negative frequencies can produce real and measureable changes, sometimes immediately.

It is necessary to be clear that noone can ever promise that your desired results will occur. Nothing is ever for certain. I believe that it is ultimately worthwhile healing yourself, whatever the results may be.

If healing efforts are not producing the results you desire, then keep at it. Each individual accumulates blockages throughout their life. It may take persistent healing over time to clear enough of the blocks to make a noticeable difference, particularly with physically manifested symptoms. I have been actively healing myself for over 20 years. (Wow, I just calculated that.) With The Healing Codes for several years, and now The Emotion Code I feel like I'm more frequently getting significant results.

Believe! You CAN Get Results.

I realized several years ago that a big factor getting in my way was the lack of belief that I could produce healing. Once I resolved that inconsistency, I started having better results. If you are not getting the results that you want, try addressing your level of belief.

In the Flow & Out of the Flow

Once inspiration strikes and I select a newsletter topic, it floats around in my consciousness for a while, and the ways in which the dynamic plays out in my life are revealed. This month, I had amazing experiences of being in the flow, with everything feeling right on target and sublimely perfect. And, I had times when the flow felt almost completely blocked.

I share my experiences with both ends of this spectrum, and some ideas for approaches to take when you feel stuck outside of the flow.

All is Right in the World & Feeling Fantastic

Imagine yourself being in just the right place at just the right time, taking precisely the action that is appropriate at the moment. Can you recall such an experience from your life? How did you feel? Was it uplifting? Did you feel like you were contributing to perfection?

I am an avid contra dancer. Here is a brief description of contra dancing, followed by my discussion of flow. In this type of social dancing, each dancer has a partner, with couples arranged in long lines of couples. A Caller teaches the group the sequence of moves for a dance, then everyone repeats the sequence accompanied by lively music, moving up and down the line, dancing with everyone.

Contra dancing can be astonishingly fun. Imagine hours of interactions with smiling people, many of whom are your friends. And it's an incredible aerobic workout to boot. A few weeks ago, I attended a contra dance weekend, where I danced hour after hour, with repeated experiences of being in the flow. It was glorious. The weekend was like having a continuous peak experience.

What provides the experience of flow in contra dancing? Being in the right place at just the right point in the music, with the person I'm dancing the next movement with arriving precisely as I do. The music and the dance sequence match up just so. Throughout the whole dance, couple after couple, everyone is right there, energized, and it's all FUN.

Day-to-Day Experiences of Flow

I desire to increase the ease of flow in the world, so I pick ways to do things that feel efficient. Am I smoothing the way of events in the world? Am I making life easier or more pleasant for myself or for someone else?

When doing errands, I choose a route that provides a natural flow between stops. When crossing busy streets, I walk quickly, shortening the wait for drivers waiting to turn. When returning library books, I stack them so checking them in requires fewer motions for the librarian. In grocery stores, I reposition misplaced items and line them up. Then everything looks organized and inviting, and finding things is easier for other people.

Co-incidence or Connection

Have you ever called a friend and had them say, "I was just thinking about you." Or you think about about an acquaintance, and the next day you run into them in the grocery store. I don't consider co-incidences accidents. Unplanned meetings, physical or not, result from the natural movements within our interpersonal connections.

One of my clients doesn't schedule appointments in advance. She calls to schedule when she feels that it is time to see me. She usually comes to my mind shortly before the time that she calls. Evidently, we are connected.

Occasionally, I think about someone with whom I haven't had contact in a long while, and I call them. Far more frequently than could occur randomly, they tell me that they have been in an accident, or experienced some significant life circumstance. And there is a way in which I can be of assistance, with bodywork, coaching, biofeedback, a healing tool, or something else, . . . Sometimes my love and listening are all that they really need from me. We are connected, and the flow of life brought us together.

Flow on Paper

I design brochures for VibesUp, a company that makes energized crystal products. Flow is a critical element in marketing material design. Is attention drawn in desired ways? Is the page visually appealing? Is it overly crowded? Does content flow naturally? Is the overall impression one of chaos or of competence? And does the piece suit its intended purpose?

VibesUp - Crystals

Recently I discovered these amazingly effective energy enhancing crystal products. VibesUp owner Kaitlyn and I became fast friends, and ideas flow furiously between us. I wake up in the morning thinking about her products or brochures, and soon discover that she was thinking about the same things. We definitely flow together, though we have yet to meet in person. These products entered my life at a time when I really needed them. Having them on and around me all day, every day definitely helps me feel and function better.

(VibesUp crystals are worn {bracelet, necklace, pocket, shoes} or placed around your space {house, office, car, fridge, on pets, . . .} Their proprietary liquid crystal and essential oil coating gives them amazingly effective energy enhancing abilities. For information about VibesUp, go to their website. I encourage you to listen to the teleseminar recording, explaining how they work. The specials on the site have been extended to you.
If you decide to order from VibesUp, please let them know I sent you. My affiliate number is 131.)

Flow is Glaring in it's Absence

My house is an obvious area where flow is deficient. I am a 'piles' person. I put things away and clear clutter, but it reappears. Clutter is distracting and it decreases my efficiency. But there it is. I clean up as needed, to increase the flow within my environment. At the same time, I am reasonably well organized. I know where to find everything. Within the clutter, there is sufficient flow for things to be usable.

Resistance to Writing

Every month, I resist sitting down to write this newsletter. Even though the content is already planned, I find endless distractions.
(This actually represents a tremendous improvement. This month's newsletter took me significantly less than a day to write, and I did not despise the process. To read how I healed the worst of this resistance, go to my website and scroll down the page to 'My Experience of Spiritual Alignment Consulting'.)

Unfortunately, when I resist writing, frequently I simultaneously resist doing a lot of other things. Flow was this month's topic, so I observed the flow-blocking impact of my resistance. I felt horribly stuck. One thing that I knew would be valuable was working through my resistance using The Healing Codes. This morning, I finally did it, . . . and here I am finishing off my writing. It's amazing what happens when I get out of the way, and heal myself using my own techniques! (Read in this blog posting about my life-altering experience with the Codes.)

What to DO When Your Flow Feels Stuck

This is a short and simple list, but the options are endless.

1. Identify what you are resisting. Is it taking action? A feeling? A person? A situation?
2. Identify how you feel about it. Is it fear? Anger? Guilt? Worry? Confused? Stupid? Like you don't know how? Like you're not good enough? Like it's impossible?
3. Use a self-healing modality to address blocked feelings or emotions that you identify. Personally, I use The Healing Codes and Ho'oponopono most consistently, and now The Emotion Code. (I discussed Ho'oponopono in my December newsletter.) Another popular method is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
4. Does the task seem impossible? Try breaking it into small pieces, then complete one bit at a time. Recycling even a few loose pieces of paper makes a noticeable difference on my desk.
5. JUST DO IT. You may not feel like it, but start anyway. If you take one step then stop, at least you've moved. I could never have finished this newsletter, had I never opened the blog program and started the document. After that, continuing was ridiculously easy.
6. GET HELP. Friends, spouses, and family members can be engaged to support your forward movement. It's amazing what a difference it makes getting someone else involved. Having a friend help me today made a enormous difference.
7. Hire help. Would it be reasonable to pay someone else to do it? Like hiring a house cleaner or an accountant.
8. Hire professional help. When you're stuck, going to someone who can help you work through your resistance and blocks can be extremely supportive. A wide variety of therapists, counselors, coaches, and consultants are available. I am available for appointments (Spiritual Alignment Consulting, Healing Codes, bodywork, energy work) in person, and by phone. I can help you get going with any or all of the above steps. Please contact me, if you are interested. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com


Go With the Flow!

My Flow to Olympia, Washington

I will be in Olympia in March and in April. If you would like to schedule an appointment for bodywork or for biofeedback, please contact me. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com

During each of my recent extended working visits to Olympia, I have experienced significant blocks in the flow. Each time, I asked myself if I am to continue these trips, and the answer remained clearly 'Yes!' Perhaps these blocks were just nudging me to return to working in my old building on State Avenue. Because that is where I will be!

Go With the Flow!

Contributing to Balance & Peace on Earth

2008 has been a wild and intense year. 2009 is likely to be equally tumultuous, if not more so.
With this being our annual time of beginnings, let's consider the following question.

What Simple Things Can We DO as Individuals to Contribute Positively to the Worldwide Situation?

Many people believe that they are not important, that it doesn't really matter what they do. So they leave the important 'doings' to other people.

Increasingly in recent years, people have realized that the contributions of even Regular People are significant. Scientifically validated evidence shows that EVERYONE has an impact. Everyone from the rich and famous to homeless people, from business owners to laborers, from retired people to housewives to children, from prize winning athletes to the terminally ill. Even our thoughts and emotions influence what happens in the real world. The Secret and the Law of Attraction are examples of popularized teachings that illustrate this.

This newsletter is about simple ways that each and every one of us Regular People can make a significant difference in the world every day. I share my recently discovered approaches to simply and easily increasing the experience of balance, peacefulness, and love.
(Pssst. Be sure to get to the section about the VibesUp energy enhancing crystal products! They are just plain fabulous. Towards the end of this posting.)


Contributing to Balance, Peace, & Love

With all of the stressful situations going on worldwide, couldn't we ALL benefit from experiencing more Balance, Peace, and Love??

I believe that how I feel in any given moment contributes to the overall energy of the whole of Earth and of all of its living inhabitants and their societies. The more time I spend feeling loving and happy, the better off the world will be. If you have read this far, you probably already understand this concept, so I won't explain it further.

Numerous methods of emotional healing and energetic balancing have come into my life. I have shared many of these with you in previous blog postings, so I will only mention one of them now. I continue to consistently use and benefit from The Healing Codes, an incredibly powerful and effective, yet simple method of self-treatment for healing of old patterns and emotions. Read in my blog posting about my life altering experience with the Codes.

However, there is one aspect of The Healing Codes that I find limiting. Doing Codes takes focused time, from one minute to several. Some days, I know that doing Codes would be beneficial, but I just don't make the effort. Fortunately, I have other tools in my energy and emotions tool kit that help me all day long, whether or not I have 'spare' time.

Benefitting from the following new-to-me things either requires essentially no conscious attention on my part, or requires so little effort that I can easily employ them in a moment with a few thoughts, and as frequently throughout the day as I wish. Now that's simple and easy! Also, with the exception of a fabulous line of energy enhancing crystal products, there is absolutely no financial cost to beginning to use them. (They DO all offer ways to make financial contributions and/or purchase products with additional benefits.)


Global Coherence Initiative

The best way to explain about the Global Coherence Initiative (GHI) is to quote its Membership Guide.

The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based initiative that will unite millions of people in heart-focused care and intention to shift global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

Basically, GCI is doing on a global scale, and in a formal and somewhat scientific manner what people have done increasingly for many years, both individually and in groups.

Membership in GCI is free. Their website provides numerous tools to assist you in increasing your 'heart coherence', and thus contributing to worldwide coherence.

http://www.glcoherence.org/

Each individual chooses their level of participation and the amount of time they wish to devote to the project. You can do coherence increasing exercises, participate in webinars and events, and track your results. For those who are interested in measuring their coherence level, a suitable device is available through the Institute of Heartmath, the organization that is coordinating the GCI. (If you are interested, Heartmath has lots of research information.)

Personally, I participate in GCI at a minimal level, primarily by repeatedly returning myself to coherence, love, peace, and compassion. In this way, I am contributing to the global energy of coherence.


Ho'oponopono

I first learned about Ho'oponopono over a year ago, but really started actively 'cleaning' recently. Now that I've really gotten into it, 'cleaning' only takes a couple of seconds and is so SIMPLE and EASY! The easiest way to get started with Ho'oponopono is to listen to a teleconference, either one that is happening in present time, or by audio recording.

What is cleaning? Cleaning out old memories, freeing yourself so that what is the best and highest for you can come in. (By the way, this is also what The Healing Codes does, just differently.) You can clean for anything and everything. And when you clean for yourself, you clean for everyone and everything in the world. Isn't that terrific!

Here is my recommendation. Go to Mabel Katz's website and do two or three things.

* Sign up for Mabel's e-mail newsletter. She sends announcements of free teleseminars and paid events. Some teleseminars and workshops also include Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, Mabel's teacher, who has recently returned to active teaching. Together, Ihaleakala and Mabel are really spreading Ho'oponopono throughout the world in a big way.
* Listen to a free recording of an earlier teleseminar. From the page linked to below, go to Free Teleseminar on the left side of the page.
* If you are interested in purchasing Mabel's products, they are wonderful and instructive. Teleseminars, workshops, and downloadable and physical recordings and books. Her best known book The Easiest Way talks about her experiences with Ho'oponopono. I have it in audio format and listen in the car. Though this book doesn't go into much detail about HOW to do Ho'oponopono (which is what I initially expected), it wonderfully illustrates how cleaning works in life.

What has gotten me really doing Ho'oponopono consistently is listening to several teleseminars, including at least one with both Mabel and Ihaleakala. Each call is different, describing how cleaning can help with people's diverse questions and issues. There is tremendous value in listening to multiple calls. I listen by speaker phone or by computer while I'm doing other things.

http://www.mabelkatz.com/cmd.php?af=897189

So, check out Ho'oponopono. And, finally . . .


VibesUp - Crystals

I learned about these COOL energy enhancing crystal products on a teleseminar. They really work to raise vibrations. And using them requires practically NO effort, so I use them more consistently than other energetic products. For example, I love Ausome Water (featured in my January 2008 blog), but to benefit from it, I have to actually put drops into my water. I'm generally pretty consistent, but when I'm busy, I just don't do it.

VibesUp's crystals are worn (bracelet, necklace, pocket, shoes) or placed around your space (house, office, car, bath). What gives these crystals their special qualities? Their proprietary liquid crystal and essential oil coating.

Upon putting the crystals on my body in the morning, I am immediately consciously and physically aware of their energetic effects. After that, I benefit from them all day with absolutely no further effort required. My food is nicely energized by the crystals in the fridge and in the special energizing coasters. And I think my husband sleeps better, because of the crystals between the mattresses. I also love the Divine Soles Earth Energy Shoe Inserts, which have a dramatic effect on the chakras and aura, and 'paint' for putting on walls and other surfaces.

Had I just gone to the VibesUp website, I probably would not have purchased anything. I thought, "I already have crystals." But after the teleseminar, I definitely wanted to experience them. I'm SO glad I did, because these aren't run-of-the-mill crystals.

You're in luck! My fabulous friend Kaitlyn of VibesUp has made the teleseminar recording available to you free, so you can hear her explain how they work, and hear happy VibesUp customers sharing their experiences. Enjoy the call. At my request, Kaitlyn has extended the package specials mentioned on the call to you.

If you decide to order from VibesUp, please let them know I sent you. My affiliate number is 131.


Life is an Amazing Miracle. Here's to a Happy, Healthy, Successful, and Loving 2009! Celebrate!

A Different Perspective on Gratitude

Recent circumstances have led me to feel immense gratitude. Then I started receiving everyone else's messages about gratitude and thanks giving. Evidently, I was tapping into what was already in the field.

Every day, I am profoundly grateful for all of the wonderful things in life, for opportunities, for health, for family and friends, and so much more. However, at times day to day circumstances don't go as well as I would like. Then I appreciate the opportunity to learn and to grow that is being presented. For me, these are pretty normal reasons for being thankful.

This past week brought opportunities that go deeper, where the experience of gratitude was less readily accessible. I really had to do some intense mental and emotional work.


A Difficult Situation

A customer of mine was extremely dissatisfied, because her needs were not being met. Unfortunately, many of the circumstances involved were absolutely out of my control.

Providing good customer service is a high priority for me. I was unable to easily make the situation all better, and I thought about it obsessively. As her upset escalated, so did mine. Upon realizing this, I intentionally switched my own thoughts and feelings to a positive track, and I sent her love, calmness, and peacefulness.

A Opportunity for Healing

I had been over reacting. So I asked, "Why does this upset me so much?"

In my world, keeping people happy is critical. Essentially, making everything 'all better' has been a lifelong survival mechanism. I was freaking out, because someone was upset with me, and I couldn't 'fix it'.

I have been looking back at my lifetime memories of being out of control, not able to take care of people, not able to fix things, and not able to keep people happy. And I have been doing Healing Codes for myself associated with these issues.

I never know when circumstances will arise that bring up old stuff, tossing me into the middle of old emotions.

What an opportunity this is!! And THIS is what I am grateful for.


Thanks for the Pain -- and for German New Medicine and The Healing Codes

A few mornings ago, I got out of bed and felt sharp, stabbing pains in my upper back. Every move of my head or shoulders was agony. Everything had been fine an hour earlier.

Since learning about the German New Medicine (GNM), I have looked for the emotional roots underlying dis-ease symptoms. GNM considers health challenges as part of the body's natural process of healing from traumatic events.

"What had I been doing or thinking before the pain began?" I realized that this was significant. I had decided against doing something that I wanted to do.

How does this fit from the perspective of GNM? Muscles relate to conflicts of being stuck or trapped, being unable to take action, or being unable to hold on to something. Now that makes sense! This is really just a continuation of emotional issues that have been with me for a very long time. When looked at as my body's healing process of resolving these old conflicts, the pain makes sense.

I reviewed my related memories, then did The Healing Codes. Now I have experienced a deeper layer of resolving these issues than I have in the past. And the pain is gone.

What an opportunity this is!! I am grateful for having a body and emotional system that so immediately show me where healing is needed. And for the ability that my body and emotional system have to heal themselves. What a stupendous amazing miracle!

I appreciate the German New Medicine, and Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer for this way of understanding health. I appreciate The Healing Codes, and Dr. Alex Lloyd for his ongoing work (with God) with this powerful self-healing method. I appreciate myself, for being aware and for doing what it takes to heal myself.

If you want more information about German New Medicine, go to my Aug 2007 posting, and about The Healing Codes, go to the Nov 2007 posting.


Apply This Approach to YOUR Life

When situations get difficult, you can try this sort of approach. Even without understanding of German New Medicine and The Healing Codes, you may be able to leave behind upset feelings and move forward.

The following questions may be a useful place to start. Really, any question that enables to you look more deeply into the roots of your reactions and feelings can be helpful.

"Why does this upset me so much?"
"What was I doing or thinking before this started?"
"How was I feeling?"
"What was happening?"

If you would like me to do some work with you using German New Medicine or The Healing Codes, please feel free to contact me. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com


Be Grateful for Whatever Life Brings

It's ALL a miracle, and a manifestation of love in the universe.

Life is an Amazing Miracle. Here's to Celebration and Gratitude!

What's Faith Got to do With It?

In considering what to write for October's newsletter, the only topics I come up with relate to the current political and economic crises. Recently, that's pretty much all that is coming at us from the surrounding world. Fortunately, I won't add to the onslaught.

So, how can I discuss what is going on in the world without writing about it directly? This morning, I decided to share my personal approach to dealing with what is happening. Faith. I hope that you will find this a positive and hopeful light for the future.


What's FAITH Got to do With It?

Faith is a significant facet of my approach to dealing with life in general. Much of what life brings to me (and I imagine to you) is stressful, particularly now. Faith helps me keep on going, whatever happens.

A Bit of Context

The word 'faith' frequently carries religious associations. I'm not particularly religious, though I certainly am spiritual in how I think and feel about life. As I speak about faith, I think those of you who are religious (in a more conventional way) may find yourself in agreement with me, though potentially in a more religious context.

In whatever way that you, personally use or don't use the word God, I encourage you to find a way to receive my writing about faith in a way that serves you.

In years past, I never used the word 'God,' but now it really works for me. Here is what God is NOT for me; God isn't The Father, an omnipresent and omnipotent man with a white beard and staff up in the sky, directing events here on Earth.

I use the word God to include whatever intelligent, organizing, and guiding force there may be in the universe. I believe that God is everywhere, inside everything, and inside every person and living being. God is Love and the beneficial and unifying force of love in the universe.


Trust

Many years ago, I reached a crisis point. My daily experience of life was filled with fear, anger, and stress. I desperately needed to discover a way to be okay with whatever happened, whether or not I liked the situation. Frequently, I could not change bothersome situations, so I needed a way to be able to accept anything and everything.

I made a conscious decision to choose to be okay, no matter what. And I continue to make this choice, whenever things appear to be difficult.

In order to do this, I have to just TRUST that everything will ultimately turn out for the best. I trust that God will take care of everything. I feel like if it were not for this trust that I just could not continue to live.

For me, this is FAITH.


Bringing Faith to Today's Stresses

Particularly when times get tough, faith really gets me through. Even though I know that it is unwise to dwell on fear and negative thoughts, sometimes it difficult to stay away from them. Given the current economic and political climate, some days I obsess about it for hours. Eventually, I have to give up, or I would go insane. I just have to trust that everything will turn out. Hand it over to God.

Over the years, having faith has pulled me through numerous times. Today's social climate certainly provides me with frequent opportunities to engage my faith.

(Note: I also take action to take care of myself, if and when society as we know it ceases to exist. I've written about that stuff on numerous occasions. It makes sense to do what I can. Then I trust.)


We'll See How Everything Turns Out

It looks like we are in for a rough ride. And we'll make it through to the other side somehow.

Personally, I'm expecting to be alive and healthy to witness humanity's evolution to a higher plane of consciousness. You're welcome to join me!

Let's put that to work with the Law of Attraction!


Have Faith

Becoming Healthier & Retracing

In recent years, I have made substantial improvements in my state of health, physically and non-physically. That's not to say that everything is perfected - most notably, I would still benefit from doing more exercise. But all things considered, I do quite well.

(After note: A friend and I are starting an exciting new exercise-related project. Read about Fun, Fit 'n' Fab!)

A few weeks ago, I had sinus symptoms, which used to be a consistent problem. Because I have been feeling well, it got me thinking. This led to my decision to write to you about Retracing.

Disclaimer

Please be aware that I am making very broad generalizations. What I write is not necessarily applicable to you. It is up to you to evaluate the relevance of any information provided.

Everything here is for purely educational and informational purposes only. I am not diagnosing, prescribing, or treating. If you have a health condition, it is very important that you address it with an appropriately trained and licensed health care provider.

What is Retracing?

I first heard this term three years ago, when I began taking nutritional supplements from Ziquin Educational Group. (I am not going into details about Ziquin, because this is a newsletter, not a sales message. If you want more information, you are welcome to contact me. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com. You can also go to my Ziquin site, ziquin.com/miracleinspirations.)

Terms like 'healing response,' 'detoxification,' and 'healing crisis' have been used to describe the symptoms that the body has in response to health-supporting inputs like foods, supplements, therapies, treatments, and activities. I think 'retracing' does a better job of describing what is happening than these other terms.

Side Effects

For the sake of simplicity in writing, I will use the term 'inputs' to describe substances that are consumed (foods, supplements, medications, water, air, etc.), treatments that are received (medical and non-medical, surgery, massage, acupuncture, counseling, etc.), and activities (exercise, meditation, etc.). These inputs then have an impact on the body and its state of health.

Many times, people experience unpleasant symptoms in response to inputs.

If the input has an impact of limiting or harming the body in any way, symptoms experienced could be called 'side effects'. For example, if you drink a lot of alcohol, you could become drunk and experience the associated side effects. When someone first tries cigarette smoking, the side effect of coughing cannot be ignored.

Medications are taken to perform particular functions, but there may be additional effects. For example, a pain killer may relieve pain, so the medication is performing its intended function. But perhaps you also experience nausea, which is a side effect.

How about physical inputs? You stub your toe going up the stairs; the resulting toe and foot pain is a side effect. Say you are not accustomed to vigorous exercise and you decide to go on a long day hike in the mountains. You may experience leg soreness, and perhaps your back is sore from carrying a pack. It's great to participate in physical activities, and the overall impact may well be very positive (particularly if you were to regularly exercise). Yet sometimes we over do it. So the soreness could be considered a side effect resulting from an overall beneficial activity.

Retracing vs. Side Effects

If an input has an overall positive impact, assisting the body in becoming healthier, then symptoms could be described as Retracing.

Here is a simplistic explanation that I learned through Ziquin. If you do something 'good,' then resulting symptoms may be retracing. If you do something 'bad,' then resulting symptoms may be side effects.

It may be difficult to classify a symptom as retracing or side effects. Really, it doesn't matter; the words are just labels. Ultimately, what makes a positive difference and contributes to health is providing inputs that support healing.

Take the hiking example above. Or say, you finally join a gym and start an exercise program. Chances are pretty good that you will be sore. The overall impact of the activity is positive and contributing to health. So are the symptoms side effects of exercising? Or are they a healing response or retracing? It doesn't really matter. Keep up the exercise program, and the soreness will eventually decrease.

Re-tracing & Re-experiencing Your History

As we go through life, occasionally we are injured. When that happens we experience symptoms, perhaps including pain. When the body is ready to repair that damage, we may re-experience some of the associated pain.

Here is an analogy I use. Imagine cleaning a closet. You have to pull all the stuff out, and it gets really messy. You throw some stuff away, then you organize what remains and put it back into the closet. When your body is cleaning out old garbage and repairing damage, it can get pretty messy before it gets better.

In the midst of uncomfortable or unpleasant symptoms, sometimes it can be difficult to feel like positive things are happening. Really, it is all an indication that healing is happening and the body is becoming stronger and healthier.

Detoxification

This is the most frequent symptom of retracing, and it may occur relatively quickly in response to positive inputs. Cleaning your the diet and/or adding quality nutritional supplements (and drinking enough water!) frequently leads to symptoms. Constipation or diarrhea, fatigue, and headaches are the most common. Flatulence or burping, skin irritations, muscle or joint pain, sinus issues, . . . the detoxification possibilities are endless.

Think of detoxification as your body cleaning house, getting rid of garbage and toxic substances. The symptoms may be unpleasant, but isn't it better to get the garbage out of there?

Personal Stories of Re-experiencing History

About six months into taking Ziquin's supplementation program, I had my first significant experience of retracing. I had been a massage practitioner with a full time practice for thirteen years, so I used my hands a lot. Because I had learned to take care of my body appropriately, it had been many years since I had felt over-use pain in my hands or wrists. I vividly remember the moment when I first felt sharp pain deep inside my left wrist. I hadn't worked at all that day, and the previous day had been uneventful. I was actually relaxing at a spa when the pain appeared, so I knew it was not caused by current activity. I was so excited! This was retracing!

Adding quality supplementation to my diet had provided nutrients, enzymes, and other factors, replenishing substances that had been deficient. When my body felt like it had sufficient supplies to be able to make repairs, one of the places it went was my wrist. I'm sure it was repairing elsewhere well before that, but I just wasn't consciously aware of the changes.

With that first deep sharp pain in my wrist, I was re-experiencing the pain associated with years of over-use damage. For three days, it was quite intense and uncomfortable, consuming my attention and causing me to move my hand. Then it disappeared for about a month, only to return with less intensity for about a day. This retracing pain continued to occur, with decreasing intensity, duration, and frequency. Sometimes it was the left wrist, others the right. Now, I feel only an occasional and momentary twinge.

Here's another example. Many years ago, Ken (my husband now) had to take a nasty medication for two years. Plus, he regularly has some chemical exposure through his occupation. Several months into taking Ziquin, he broke out in an incredibly itchy rash all over his body. It lasted a week. His body had replenished its supplies and was cleaning out the old gunk. Following that initial episode, he had several more itchy rashes appear, with both the frequency and the intensity decreasing over time. Now, all he has is an occasional couple of itchy spots.

Ken used to have a lot of headaches. Unfortunately and uncomfortably for him, this is an area where he experiences retracing. He doesn't like it, but he knows that it is retracing. Sometimes we have to re-experience our history to be able to release it and truly heal.

An Example of Retracing Compared with Side Effects

I used to have a lot of sinus problems, with draining into my throat essentially all the time, and active sinus infections occurring frequently, sometimes appearing as 'colds'. Stress, insufficient sleep, and insufficient intake of nutrients and quality food was a recipe for long standing less-than-optimal health. Then my life situation changed, and stress decreased, sleep increased, food intake improved, and Ziquin supplementation began. So my active sinus problems ceased.

When circumstances occur that bring back the stress, sleep, and poor diet factors, what happens? The combined sinus infection and cold returns. This has occurred enough times for me to realize that it's not coincidence. The stress combination is a set of negative 'inputs', which then produces side effects in the form of re-experiencing old symptoms.

What triggered my choosing Retracing as the focus for this newsletter is that I recently experienced low-level sinus congestion and drainage, without the prior stress inputs. I realized that these sinus symptoms were different. This was retracing, not side effects. My overall life inputs were positive, producing an opportunity for my body to re-experience old symptoms as part of the healing process.

In Conclusion on Retracing

When I began writing this newsletter, I was struggling with how to convey the concept of retracing. This lack of clarity led to a two-week writing delay. So, I hope that reading this provided clarity rather than confusion for you!

What's New in the Stuff Department?? LOTS!

Years ago, I realized that I am always finding new things, new techniques, etc. and getting excited about how they can help people (including myself) become healthier. Then I share the new stuff with others. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable about asking people if they want to hear about this or that, even if I am doing it because I am interested in their health and welfare.

Well, I have accepted that this is one of my GIFTS. Over the years, I have accumulated a FABULOUS variety of wonderful and effective modalities and stuff, all in support of health.

This is just what I do. Stopping would be . . . well, impossible. This is an example of doing what comes naturally and loving it.

So, I offer information. Really, it would be a crime for me to withhold it from you. And I thank you for allowing me to share with you.

If you are interested in more information, great, let me know. If you are not interested that's peachy keen too. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com.

(Note: None of this new stuff is on my website www.miracleinspirations.com. The website has not been updated in quite a long time.)

Fabulous New Equipment

Recently, I purchased some health-supporting devices which I have been 'wanting' for years. In fact, I almost purchased an inexpensive chi machine copy. I am so glad that I waited! What made the difference? I learned what these devices do and why they work. After that, I wasn't willing to wait any longer. So now, I have a Sun Ancon Chi Machine and an Infrared Hothouse. And more.

They are making a positive difference, and Ken and I each use them daily. Unlike the many other things which I have begun but not continued with over time, I actually use these practically every day. I don't resist taking the time, as I have with other things. In fact, I enjoy it! Of course, it certainly helps that 1) the process of doing them is relaxing, and 2) they are proving to be effective.

Here's a personal testimony from a couple of weeks ago. I spent a whole day lifting somewhat heavy objects and very carefully measuring out and weighing a powdered substance into bags. By the end of the day, my back was so stiff that I could barely move. I did the Chi Machine and Hothouse for half an hour, and it felt somewhat better. Then I sat in the Hothouse for an additional 45 minutes. And the stiffness was gone! I was amazed. The next morning, my back felt completely normal, whereas in the past, I would have been stiff and possibly sore after that physical over-use. (Side effect!)

If you are interested in more information about obtaining any of this equipment, please contact me. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com.

As always, you are so very much appreciated. Thank you for being there.
