Doors opening

OMG! I never cease to amaze myself at what I can create!

Well as you all know I saw very clearly new doors opening, so Thursday morning I have a job interview with an insurance company! It is kind of a weird way it came about, but basically this thought has been nagging at me. I like the idea of it because I will have more control over my income and the hours I work. It will also free up the time and resources for me to move forward on creating and manifesting my dreams. I know this is just a door that is opening up, but I am going to do some serious testing on it and just move through the doors as they open. It is wierd cause my X husband was actually encouraging me to do it today and had a little hand in me getting the interview (well he suggested I talk to this company). So I am very excited as one door is closing another opens! Damb! I am awesome! I will have to work very hard to get my insurance license... hard as in take the time to do it as fast as possible on my computer at home. Taking the test will be easy and so will the information I have to learn. I take tests easy!

Well hugs and blessings Sallyjane

Hi SallyJane,

People often have that reaction when they hear about being taken underwater. If it makes you feel any better, usually people don't go underwater the first session. Grace looked at a video of the work and decided she would like to try it. I recently went on a zip line through the jungle when I was in Australia and they talked about going upside down and I thought I wasn't up for that! But when it came time to do it, it was no problem, in fact I loved it! That is much the same way the underwater work is. It sounds scarier than it is. And I also applaud you for seeing the challenge in it for you.

Thanks for all you posts. I am loving hearing your story.

As to being tired on the job there is a great energy booster tablet(herbal) called Up-Your-Gas. It's a blend of about 12 herbs. I usually take 1/2 tablet about 1/2 way thru the day. Gives just enough energy to do the job, but no nervousness or sleep interference. Get the one without the ephedra. Hope it helps you as much as it does me.

Grace, I am so sorry that your friend has transitioned. I can't imagine the shock of it, especially seeing how young she was.

I can see however that you know she really has not left you and your family. You realize that you have more access to her now than ever before.

She sounds like a beautiful person. It is only natural that you, another beautiful person, would have attracted her into your life.

I will be thinking of you and your family throughout the day with love.

So beautifully written Pamela that I could not think of a better way to say it than how you did. I just have to say DITTO! Grace, you are in my thoughts everyday too, and I know that you and your daughter are both feeling your dear friends presence and it was Jan's spirit who let little Sophia know it was okay! That is the only thought that came to my mind as I was reading this today. We are all connected!

Today I sat at work and read (between calls) the Power of Now by Echhart Tolle. I had lost the book and could not find it right in the middle of the book, which is kind of funny cause I was having trouble understanding it at the time. Today with perfect timing I picked up the book as it was right at my finger tips found in the move, and suddenly was drinking from it as if it was a cup of cool refreshing water! I am always amazed how we created everything just sooo perfectly in our lives! I hid the book from myself until the perfect time. I have known for sometime that we are all connected, but today at work while reading I really started to feel that connection. I love to read when I can read with my whole being! It is just soooo awesome!

Inika, the water healing is so very intriguing I will have to come back tomorrow and reread it so as to better be able to totally understand it. I think what intrigues me the most is that sense of fear it brings up in me! Oooooo! It just struck me sooo strong! Hmmm... A new area to work on for me, isn't that wonderful! I love when things like this come up for me!

Well Blessings All and HUGE Hugs

Messages in water

Dear Grace,
I am sorry to hear about your friend and it is amazing that your daughter has so much insight so young. But after all she is your daughter! Thank you for sharing your experience of the session. It was a beautiful insight you had. The water is truly a sacred space that embraces all experience. I was honored to give you a session and it was so fun to meet you. I am still in FL until Ap 9th.

I am adding this post I wrote in January describing Healing Dance and Aquatic Bodywork:

Grace has asked me to post this information about Aquatic Bodywork for your general knowledge. I have been doing Aquatic Bodywork for 12 years and teaching it for 7 and still unable to quite define it. Here is my most recent attempt:

Imagine floating in warm water in safe and nurturing arms, being moved, stretched, rocked, massaged or danced by the therapist. Is this bodywork or heaven? Some of both, I would say. We bring to it what needs healing or just what can be more relaxed. Being in water and being held are two obvious differences between land and aquatic bodywork. Water is dreamtime, where emotions can surface and be swept away in the current. Water becomes the vessel, the container for anything that arises between therapist and client. Imagine all you hear is your breath, feeling the sensation of the water on your skin, gently carressing you. You feel releaved of your body to fly with spirit or maybe you just feel more relaxed than you ever have in your life. Maybe you have never been held like this since you were a baby or your mother was never this nurturing. We all bring our stories to the session to be healed. Even, sometimes unbeknownst to us, our body brings it's own stories to the place of 3 dimensional unwinding, letting go of trapped energy and finding the body mudra that will allow release and renewal. One session never looks like another.

You may have heard it called Watsu, WaterDance, Jahara or Healing Dance. Watsu is "water shiatsu" coming from a still base, sinking into the breath. WaterDance brings the client under the water for the length of a breath using nose clips. This modality has it's roots in tantra and akido. Jahara is used mainly for physical rehabilitation using noodles under the legs. Healing Dance is both above and below the surface of the water utilizing rhythms to create spatial mandalas such as waves and spirals and 8's to release trapped energy. Healing Dancers are the Water Shaman's channeling animals and shapes.

Most of us who work in the field bring our own background into the session like cranial sacral therapy, trager or massage. I mainly teach and practice Healing Dance, but I use energy work, cranial and whatever reveals itself during the session. The most common comment after a session is "Wow!". Most anything can surface during a session and is welcome. Often when I am giving a session I wonder why can't ecstasy be a vehicle for enlightenment and transformation? I think it can!

I travel worldwide so check out the web site: www.healingdance.org for more photos and my schedule. Feb I will be in Australia, August in Switzerland and often in Florida. Usually you can find me in northern CA about 2 1/2 hours north of San Francisco at Harbin Hot Springs. You can find a list of practitioners worldwide at Watsu- WABA - Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Associationhttp.

For Inika!

Before I post about Inika's healing session with me in Fort Lauderdale, I wanted to write about a recent experience. I also wanted to say to SallyJane that my thoughts are with you daily, and thank you again for your posts!


The only time I have suffered with grief was when my mother passed away on December 26th of 2004. This past Tuesday my friend and neighbor for over 8 years (she was only 36 years old) passed away suddenly. The grief flooded in when I heard the news. It was compounded somehow by the fact that I would have to tell my daughter (8 years old) that her good friend was now with Abuela (grandmother in spanish). Sophia was grief stricken but within an hour realized that Jen was completely at Peace. It was a beautiful experience for me to witness within my daughter.

I am so happy and grateful for the time we had with Jen. She was so loving to my daughter and to me. I am so happy and grateful that Sophia and I were quick to say "I love you" to Jen. She of course not only deserved our love but gave us much love in return. Jen did not have children of her own, and so gave Sophia much love and attention. I am forever grateful and so is Sophia. My Son, Ryan, I and Sophia will be attending her wake tomorrow. We are experiencing a sense of Peace in that we have talked and have realized the importance of this experience. We now more than ever know that life is so magnificent and it is also ETERNAL!

I have never felt my Mother more so than I do now, I also feel the love from Jen more than I have ever felt before! It is truly magnificent. I wish to say "out loud" THANK YOU JEN FOR BEING IN MY LIFE!

This experience with Jen, has come after the most amazing experience I had in Fort Lauderdale with Inika! www.healingdance.org It's as if the experience with the healing from Inika prepared me for what was to come.

This most amazing healing experience with Inika felt as if I was being pulled along life in complete peace and safety by the hands of God. As you are in the water you are being pulled, moved and held by the healing dance practitioner without any effort on your part. You are also (with a nose clip) moved under water and through the water without any effort on your part whatsoever.

It was incredible in that I reveled in the fact that I was upside down and underwater at times(equivalent to being challenged in life) and yet I was "SAFE" knowing that Inika (GOD) was pulling me along to my Good effortlessly and in Perfection. I now know after this one session with Inika and with great faith ( than ever before) that whatever challenges I face, I am embraced with Infinite potential. I am "swimming" in Infinite Potential, I am created from Infinite Potential and I am Blessed.

Inika, I can't express in mere words what you have done for me, and I am forever grateful for your work!! You are DIVINE and a BLESSING to this amazing planet of ours. I will be calling you soon as I have been on the phone expressing the joy of this experience that I have had with you, and others want to know more. I would like for you to know that you have Blessed me and I wish to do more for you!

Thanx KimJ! I am really excited these days about my life and where it is and where it is going! I was sitting in my chair today, watching a music channel (just waking up) and there was a song on there about being proud of the house "we built", and I was thinking about it and how proud I am of the house I have "built for my kids and I. The song is about being a couple and all that stuff, but I it touched me as in what the kids and I have acheived! I am glad my excitement and energy is touching others and spreading, cause it feels sooo good, and more people need to feel this way!

Blessings Sj

Some help +

First of all I could use a little help... I am working 3 11.5 hour days and a short day on Saturday. Yea some long hours, but not too bad considering I get 3 days off to work on my poster and getting them up to sell. The thing is by about 10 hours into my shift tonight I was sooo tired that I was transfering a customer and got to cc and could not remember for the life of me why I was transferring? Yea it was a fun call... Hehee! I could use some corrections on the brain going numb on me during these shifts

Then the next thing is that I have been working very hard on getting my posters all done and now I am designing the web page for my posters to sell them on. From there I have a few details I need to arrange and just going straight forward knowing it is right. The other night I had a dream that was a vision of how it was all supposed to work, and it was very exciting! So any help with this area would be appreciated too!

Blessings Sallyjane

Heheheh!

Hehehehe! This is so much fun! So yesterday was my first day out of training/transition at my job. Now mind you I had already gotten one kudos call (where a customer wants to tell your supervisor how wonderful you are), but yesterday I got called back for my first monitor review (where QA listens to your calls and then gives you feedback) this one was not from the company I work for but from the client company (this is like really huge) and I passed my monitor with a 95% and got two kudos from the company QA team. Okay that was pretty darn awesome, but then the last call of the night turned into a kudos call, and afterwards the supervisor who took it, told me it was the best kudos that anyone has been given there at my work!!!!! Hehehehe! Isn't this just fun!

So here is the really fun part... 6-8 months ago when I came to this forum, I was afraid of the phone and would not even call my good friends!!!!! Hehehehe Now I call anyone I want and I work all day on the phones and people love talking to me!

Okay enough bragging, but this is just sooo exciting!

Blessings to you all Sallyjane

[KimJ]

Thank you.

Thanks, Grace, for the recommendations! Things are looking up in that we received a resume today for someone who looks perfectly suited for us!!!

Now I'm working on releasing whatever blocks I have and resistance overall... I have a feeling there's a whole unworthiness feeling elemant going on that I've ignored or pretended was't there. I always thought I was just not an outgoing type of person, but I think there's a lot more to that than I realized, resulting in anger and resentment that I have to find and release. You all are an inspiration to keep doing the "work" of releasing and seeing things for what they truly are...and how we've created them.

Love and light.
Kim

Hey there...

Oh my Oh my Oh my!!!!! This is just so awesome! So I saw the new door opening, and I have been two pointing it and asking what it looked like and how it felt? So last night I decided to just jump in and turn my faerie faces into finished posters to have printed. No big deal! Just another step of faith. The one thing that I could not see was how on my little wages I was going to do all of this! "Oh ye of little faith" as the Bible would say!

So last night I went to bed and I was asking all kinds of open ended questions as I went off to sleep. And all my life I have done what I just found out is Lucid dreaming (I did not even know what it was till I was talking to someone online here). Well I had this awesome dream last night, early this morning. It laid out completely what I was supposed to do to start the selling of my posters. It even showed me able to quit my job and everything else! It was soooo totally awesome!

I would highly recommend the technique of open ended questions to everyone. Just as you are falling off to sleep you can ask what would it feel like to do this or that or have this or that... What would it look like... and so on and so forth. Very powerful! Stephen taught me to do that!

and Blessings Sallyjane

Hi Grace,

Thanks again. I have been be-boppin' all over the house....can't wait to put this all to the test!

I just tested for myself (yikes!) and I think I may be able to switch out the deserving module...wow! How cool is that?

Major grins over here in Ohio!

Lots of love,

[allenm]

SallyJane,

You are my hero...I have been away from the forum and missed that you had found a job. And now to read thisprfound next step for you just makes me smile. You are an amazing person and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to watch as you transform your life. Thanks for sharing.
