As I practiced mediation they took me on a journey to explain why it was important for me to teach Meditation, Past Lives and the awareness of how to work with our Guides, teachers. Angels and the  God of your understanding. The more I practiced my daily hour meditation the more insights I was given. The first past life I was shown was during the time of King Herod.
I am simplifying what I was given for the blog. I became a follower of Jesus’ teachings. I do not know the whole story. King Herod became extremely angry with and I watched as I was thrown into a den of ASPS (a small poisonous snake) to die.
I was so overwhelmed with the vision I came out of the meditation in a rush. Spirit kept telling me I needed to go back to understand and for weeks I refused. Then finally they said: Look at it objectively instead of subjectively.” As I returned to the past life vision, I began to understand : why I lost my life and who the individual was that turned on me .That I had to overcome my fear in speaking my truth and stand up for what I believed. This is why I stand for TRUTH, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. I have integrated that awareness at a SOUL LEVEL. It is also why when you hurt me deeply, I simply walk away. I choose not to be around and/or associate with people who are not honest with little or no integrity. I do not judge. I am simple aware of how little awareness they have. That also does not mean I would not lend them a hand if need be. I would, I just do what is necessary and keep them at arms’ length.
Note: I have worked through the past life issues with both. King Herod in this life time gave me a beautiful pearl ring that looks like a serpent. He was a mentor, protector and teacher in this life. The Other person was a best friend for 15 years, teacher and I learned to walk away with INTEGRITY this time when she hurt me. Told her it was her issue and when she apologized we could talk. The reply was she never apologized. OK with me.
 Trust is earned and can be lost in a few moments. I’m strong because I’ve been weak. I’m brave, because I’ve been afraid. I’m wise, because I’ve been foolish.    In love and light

Spirit is every present and giving us gentle messages constantly day and night. Are you paying ATTENTION to how they give it to you? It is often subtle – dropping of a feather, finding a penny, hearing a familiar song. All reminders that loved ones, friends are communicating with us to let us reminding us that they are around and wish to be remembered.
The easiest way to learn to become more aware is to meditate “DAILY”. Set time aside – 10 to 15 minutes every day at the same time as your guides and teachers on the other side become aware of your wish to work with them.
I did 15 years of 1 hour a day at the same time. The benefits were profound. My connect with spirit was  wonderful, peaceful and profound. I could be in the middle of a past life and be aware the doorbell was ringing. I could stop, do what was necessary and go back to the same spot within minutes of returning to meditate. Practice allows anyone to do this.
You start by eliminating the chatter in your head. For some this is not easy. That is why guided meditations for a beginner is a great place to start. There is a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Shower Massage on my website for beginners. www.alvafolkes.com.                   In love and light

Over the past year spirit has been encouraging me to write and present a WORSHOP on FORGIVENESS.
When you hold onto anger, guilt, remorse (negative emotions) it puts energetic blocks in the cellular memory. Cellular Memory is everything you live, think, do is in the memory of the cells of the body. Then you have accumulation (inherited) of the family (both sides) attitudes in the DNA. Frankly, this can be overwhelming for some people. When it is NOT released it can cause mental, emotional and physical issues for an individual. I am only dealing with emotional here not other issues.
Here are some ways it can be stored in the body: Anger can cause liver, bladder and even heart issues. With the stomach: What can’t you stomach in your life? Just scratching the surface, as many books have been written on it. This is part of the basic knowledge I have learned to work with.
When we learn to forgive those who have hurt us, ask forgiveness and of those we hurt and forgive ourselves, we release negative emotions that are slowing impeding our development and stopping us from moving forward to be all that we can be in alignment with source and the connection to love.
It is very important to understand that the time has come to release all of this KARMA accumulated. When we come and share in love we no longer accumulate Karma and can live in the state of GRACE.
A person unable to forgive has not known the fullness of love. Only one who truly loves is able to forgive and forget.    We achieve fulfilment when we break down walls and our heart is filled with faces and names.   Pope Francis

"FORGIVENESS WORKSHOP "THIS SUNDAY AT THE BENT WILLOW IN OSHAWA.

Polarity Therapy is a three years course in which you learn about the entire mental, emotional and physical body, bones, nerves, cranial muscles etc. I wote in an earlier blog how I was blessed to work with Dr Ralph Stone. I have learned many modalities and blend them as I work with clients. A miraculous thing happens when I start to align the energies. The body of the individual speaks through my hand to tell me what is unbalanced within the body.
I always start with questions to find out why the person has decided to come to me and what I should be aware of as I work with them. He is a sample:
Peter comes to experience a session. When I inquire as anything I should be aware off. He says No nothing major has happen - no illness or trauma. I always begin a session with energetically balance the body so that helps the client relax. A few minutes into balancing the body says; “ I have had three (3) cars accidents” So I inquire. Reply, oh ya no big deal.
I continue and the body says; my perception was off and I went through three (3) yellow lights, so the accidents were my fault.  I was then, visually taken back to an age between seven and eight years of age. It shows me Peter playing hockey and going head first into the walls of the arena. The body shows me the neck is not in alignment with his spinal column. It states that it has been like this since the accident and he also does not see the true colours around him. Peter is now in his mid 50’s. ( forty some years.)
I finish the session. I work with the body to remove the trauma placed into the cellular memory for 40 plus years and bring it back into alignment. Explain to him what I was given and state that he would never have another accident due to his perception. Peter was totally speechless and intimidated. Unfortunate, we can’t please everyone. I did my best. I love that spirit (source) works through me allowing people to heal.  Love what I do.                      In love and light
