Greetings & Blessings from Higher Self...
Welcome September! Its that time of year where we adjust our
schedules, create new routines and adapt to changes. We notice that
our days are getting shorter and in the far north we see our leaves
begin to fade by the end of the month . We welcome two guests this
month, Hachumak with his Peruvian healing sessions and Brian Turpin
doing his intuitive readings. Weve also launched our first ever
Womens Retreat that will be held just south of Cadillac. September
also means its time for the Denver Gem Show and we will be there
filling our shelves with new stones and crystals. Check out our new
crystal class that we will hold when we get back Quartz, Power
Crystals and Grids. We are also excited to welcome our newest
addition to the family, Andi Flegel. Youll see her smiling face and
helpful presence when you come in. Check out the newsletter and see
all that is happening this month.
Blessing and Be well
Your Higher Self Crew - Jo, Jeff, Zach, Allie, Andi, Kafi, and
Tyler plus all of our wonderful readers.
Higher Self Musings
Change and Transitions
Planets in retrograde, lunar eclipses and instability in the
world! There is a lot of change and transition happening to all of
us and it can be scary and overwhelming. I recently heard a talk by
a Shamanic Healer, Mona Delfino, and she had this wonderful quote:
Change the fear of the unknown into curiosity. As you reflect upon
this you may begin to see the true power in what she is suggesting.
With all the change and transitions, what we could once count upon
seems to be unstable and there is a lot of unknown. If we can
successfully face the unknown with curiosity it can give us a
completely different perspective on our lives and our situations.
So how we do we do this? Start with yourbreath. Breath is the
connection to Spirit, breath brings us closer to who we really are.
Three deep breaths, breathing in with your diaphragm (not chest)
for a count of three or four and breathing out for a count of three
or four, will allow you to move past that fear and transmute it
into curiosity. When we breathe like this we connect to spirit, and
it calms our nervous system.When our nervous system is calm our
bodies dont have to react, and they can be in a place of
observation so that we have a chance to respond in a purposeful and
conscious way. This is how we can dream a new dream, create a new
reality, and embrace curiosity for the unknown. Be Fearless -
Breathe and Connect!
Blessings and Be Well Jeff and Jo
The Gift of This Day
Of course, the Mourning Doves do not mourn and to die is but an
awakening; and our awareness of this day slips away more quickly
than the clock can tick. But just now as Mother Earth gets dressed
for fall and the dirt prepares to rest, we keep going to
funerals.
And while a funeral is only a ceremony marking another passage
through eternity, that time of mourning here on earth leaves an
empty spot in our hearts.
One of my friends goes to the tip of the peninsula and spreads
her arms wide and uses the poetry of her images to make something
lasting and beautiful on this earth, and still she mourns a funeral
long past.
And I laugh every time I point to a pot of lilies from my Dads
funeral years ago; which still thrive long past their time and I
still see his hands, resting on the side of a car, with his tools
laid out in a straight line on an old washcloth to preserve the
paint.
And there still are no words; only a straight line of love to
the empty spot in the heart of my dear friend, who laid down her
child to rest for the last time on this good earth a short year
ago.
We all know these people and sometimes we wonder, just how can
wedeserve to see the beautiful sun and hear the waves and laugh in
the face of the wind. We dont.
But if we face each day with love before it slips away, then we
will makethis day a good day. We have been given the gift of this
day; keep filling your heart with love.
