​ 
Jennifer has a hearing loss on her right side and came to see if I could help in any way to restore it. She had been told that  the loss was tied into a past life when she was tortured and beaten within an inch of her life by Truly in a reading. The husband at the time was not the father and he wanted her to lose the child. She did and in the process her hearing as well at the age of 28. She was also told that her 6 year old son was the soul returning  in this life to work out the Karma from  that previous life.
I acknowledge indeed that the child born 6 yrs ago was the soul lost in the previous life and during that pregnancy her soul revisited the memory of that lifetime and brought the cellular memory forward to clear up the trauma.
I also inquired if there was an incident within the family or extended family that she did not want o deal or hear about during this pregnancy as this could also be an issue. She stated that she could not remember anything and would give this some thought.
I inquired if there was incident around the age of 17 or 18 that would have caused lower back issues. She could not remember such happenings. As I worked on her my hands felt the stagnant energy in the lower back. I sensed the lower back had the feeling of pins and needles down the lower right side due to lack of the flow of energy and constriction around the sacral area.
 
We talked about her having Tinnitus. This is a ringing in the ears. I explained that that she was very sensitive to the electric impulses of machines and equipment along with hearing very soft whispering voices. She was very psychic and it was time for her to be more aware of her connection to Source.
We began the session. As I aligned with the energy of the spinal column I could see a separation between C7 & C8and again just below the solar plexus at S4 and S5. This explained why she had trouble especially on the right leg and why she was constantly bumping into objects. She stated more so with the right foot.
The energy was not flowing through the spinal column properly due to tears at the soul level.
I was then shown the cause. I saw a Spanish galleon in full sail with small bars on the windows. She  was a dark skinned male sitting on a long wooded bench with  men in front and to her left side rowing. I then inquired if she had issues with her arms being raised above her head. She replied no but her right should would ache on occasion like it was being overworked. I had the sense that there were periods of time she would be chained with her arms above her head. There was not a clear explanation although my  sense was punishment. When I do healing I often get insights that add to why and how the person has issues. If it is not part of the main issue  they do not go into detail just acknowledge this may have exacerbated the problem. the body communicates to me what is relevant and what adds to an injury. Her  physician had no explanation for the hearing loss or her discomfort.
I was then shown the crew of the shipon the shore and her complaining about how the crew were being treated. They were being fed slop and beaten. She was one of the main complainant and as a result she was put on the rack and slowly tortured - pulled apart. This explained the two tears in the soul that I saw. I was then instructed by spirit to start to sew the two lower portions below the solar plexus back together. This was a new experience for me. I then waited for the energy to begin to flow from the solar plexus area down both legs. It was pulsating and she acknowledged that she could feel the palpations in both legs.
 
We did not address the tear around the neck at this time. That would have to be addressed at a later date. I sensed that she did not finish the healing process on the other side as she wanted to be back with someone who was here on the earth already. She had returned a tad too quickly and carried these vibrations of not healing the soul after the last life time with her.
I was then drawn to the forehead just above the eyes. I asked if she was prone to headaches? I was seeing the energy palpating in a straight line. This is often stuck energy that leads to headaches sometimes migraines. She stated yes on occasion. I held the space for the energy to moved through and balance once again.
 I then felt the headache and was told by spirit during the 3rd month of gestation that this was the time frame of the past life of losing her hearing  and the child at the age of 28 was being brought forward to be healed.     During 2 of her 4 pregnancies she had allergies. She refused medication for one and had to take it for the other to eliminate the pain and infection.
I then moved my hands along the neck and occipital ridge.(the hard bone along the base of the skull)to remove stuck energy to remove the headache  I was then told to stop for the day.
I closed the session stating that it would be appropriate to do  3 to 4 session to complete the healing process. If we do too much healing in a session we can put the individual into a healing crises. This can be as bad as the issues we are trying to correct. Slow and steady as the body will tell you when it has had enough in a session.
As I was closing the session I saw a ladder and asked if it meant anything to her. Her response was no. I then explain that she was climbing the Jacobs ladder of spirituality. It is  the movement of the climbing from earth  to reach heaven through the chakras. this was a very good sign.  To be continued.......... 

​, Hearing GOD
I have been teaching many forms of Meditation , Spiritual Awareness, Channeling, Healing and other workshops for about 40 years. Yes friends I am dating myself. Like to think I am 21 but actually a few years older.
My Monday and Thursday  Night Class of Meditation, and Developing Intuition  allows you to feel calm, relaxed with the INTENTION of  discovering you have the capability to connect to source to bring about peace, tranquility and a knowingness that only you can feel. We must always remember that peace comes from within, not from without. We are not separate units of intelligence but part of a large intelligence that units all mankind. As you learn to meditate and connect to higher states of awareness many changes happen. Your INTENTION becomes more accurate. Problem solving abilities increase and peace and tranquility become the daily norm.  Things that used to become big issues do not seem to have the same effect on you emotionally.
On Monday night after the previous message and Seeing God's eyes I received another message during the Meditation. I was channeling a meditation to walk them through connecting to higher self and to  the Source of all that is. I then move to the silence to allow each student to  gain guidance in whatever way spirit directs them. During the silence I hear the voice again speak to me. "I am the voice of GOD. " WHEN YOU WORK WITH THESE STUDENTS IT ALLOWS THEM TO HEAL AND BECOME MORE CONNECTED TO SOURCE."  Once again I am overwhelmed by the voice.
There is no need for temples: no need for complicated philosophy. Our heart is our temple. You are the LIGHT of the world- raise your vibration and  Keep on shining.    in love and light Rev Alva Folkes

​Pearls Of Wisdom           Seeing the eyes of  GOD Feb 20 2019
I  have been working with Jessica for about a year off and on. She books an appointment when the discomfort in her abdomen becomes unbearable. A few years ago she had a wire mesh inserted to hold the bladder in place.  Jessica settles in on the massage table and we begin. I start the same way to align with the energies in the body. I have the innate ability to connect with the body and it speaks to me to tell me when and where to move my hands. She allows herself to relax very quickly.
When I do any kind of healing work it is important for the client to trust and allow the spiritual connection of the intuitive awareness for me to find what the body needs for  assistance to move through energetic blockages or restraints that are not congruent with what the individual should be feeling. I wait just a few minutes and am directed to the coccyx and solar plexus. When I work in this area it releases a lot of physical discomfort. I can feel tremendous heat being move between both hands. I find myself entering a zone of timelessness and just being. No idea of the time  and then I find myself drawn to her head. I move up to the cranium and I begin to release tension along the neck and into the occipital ridge (base of the skull) and then just hold the space.
Once again timeless space and I hear a voice saying "This is the face of GOD" I sense and see a beautiful cloud like figure with sparking eyes that radiate love. The voice asks "Do you wish this lady to heal?" I reply I do not wish to interfere with her Karma. YES I want her to heal. The eyes continue to smile for a few seconds and disappear.
The energy in the room is palatable and intense. A little more time elapses and I close the session. I share everything I received during the session. Jessica acknowledged it was the most powerful session we have had to date.
Knowledge is power and self awareness is empowering.
in love and light Rev Alva Folkes

The main ​Spinal Injury- Mikal
 I had an inquiry as to assisting someone in a wheel chair. I immediately was informed by spirit that a virus had caused the issues of immobility. I received a phone call from Mikal asking me to come and do some healing on him.  When I arrived I proceeded to explain how I work and inquired to the exact circumstances that surrounded what had occurred prior to his loss of movement. He had been working with a Naturopath for a few years who believed he had Lyme's disease.
The word  "VIRUS" repeated in my head. I spend 2 to 2-1/2 hours with appropriate hands positions waiting for the body to energetically balance. I could feel energy flowing to the extremities. The only thing he felt was heat. I inquired what was the traumatic experience that happened at approximately 4 years old? He stated it was when his father abandoned the family. I realized that he felt responsible for the break up. I told him that a 4 year old is not responsible for the actions of adults. He was a victim of the circumstance. I then inquired about the incident at 17 years of age? Mikal explained about being on a 4 wheeler  and it overturned  into a ditch and hit him mid-back (T-12) where I had placed my hands. He stated that it was very sore but he carried on as if nothing had happened. I then stated that emotionally he was carrying the emotional scars in that area. I had released the emotions surrounding the incident at 17, not the abandonment.
I informed Mikal that I would have to do research to find out what the virus was. I returned home and found myself exhausted. I required 12 hours of sleep as I knew the work had been intense. I have not had to rest after a session like that for years.
 I started to do research into the virus and  I believe he has "Poliomyelitis" which is inflammation  of the spine, swelling  and destruction of the neurons. I called him to let him know what I believed to be the issue. Now he could go to a Medical Doctor to be tested. He also needed to do some hypnosis surrounding the guilt of abandonment. I do believe that the emotional scars as well as getting proper diagnosis and medication  for the Virus will allow him to be mobile once again. It will take time .  
Many of our emotional scars are misconceptions arrived at through logic without access to the facts. They are accredited through our lifetime experiences to us  by our family. When we understand where they came from, we can begin to release and heal the physical and emotional body. The main focus of therapy is to shift the awareness of individuals to see how trauma is lodged inside of them and then to asisst them to release it.   in love and light                                       

Roses Healing Feb 10
I was dreaming about being in a car race and shown how to slow down to corner so that I could accelerate faster coming out of the curve. Interesting I thought. I have no interest in racing cars.
The next thought I had was, You need to go and giving a healing to Rose. Call her now. What I exclaim. I don't work with Rose. Call her now. It is life or death. This needs to be done. It is 6:45 am. It's too early. Call now.
voice demands "CALL NOW"
Have to get her number from someone else. I do so and call. No Answer
Voice demands: Call her Husband and put it on SPEAKER PHONE so she can hear. Call for husbands' Name and phone number.
Brandon answers and I ask him to put the phone on speaker phone so they can both hear. It is now 7 am and they are still in bed.
Hi Brandon It is Alva Folkes.
 I am sorry for the hour I know you are still in bed. Please put me on speak phone so you both can hear. Spirit has told me to do a healing on Rose or she won't make it through the operation. She is very toxic and we need to help the body to eliminate the toxins so she can  heal.  This need to be done today. I have today off so I can come..We set a time for 10 am.
 
Rose acknowledged that she heard the phone and stated that she knew if it was important , they would call Brandon.
 
As I sit down to explain everything I am being given I ASK permission TO WORK ON HER. I help to turn her body to lay flat on her back.
 
My senses became aware of the energy starting at the sacrum. Within a few minutes I ask: "What happened emotionally between ages of 5 and 6. She replies: Lost my mother.
Energy is now in the lumbar area. I ask: did you fall and break your tail bone? Reply: No, A cousin kicked me and it was painful for weeks. I had trouble sitting for a long time. They show me healing the sacrum area to eliminate the emotions attached to that trauma.
As the energy moves upward the focus is removing the toxins from the liver. Then the cleaning and eliminating toxins from the bladder. Slowly the energy moves up the spinal column until it reaches her head. It expands easily and quickly with white light. I am aware she is very cerebral, imposingly assertive and works with this energy. I am also aware that she was becoming overwhelmed by the work being done and told her I would stop "Now"
 
This is what I communicated from  spirit during the healing. A heavier set older woman with tremendous love came through. She was a close relative - The description fit her mothers' mother. She stated that she was very close to her Grandmother as a child.
A hard working man with overalls and heavy coat. A sense of Europe around him. He worked the land - farmer. Broad shoulders, explains he worked the land and it is in her background - DNA. Explains Roses love of essences and the ease of knowledge she has surrounding essential oils.
At one point spirit (3x) three times, says put your  leg on the bed. I question: why? Just do it. As I do, I see her after her pool accident at the age of 16 being placed on a stretcher. I feel the spinal column has been compromised and I feel her curling into a ball. She often sleeps on her side in a curled position.
 
Before I leave I inform her that spirit informs me she does not have to travel to California for the operation. A Doctor here will step up to do it.  She called later that day to confirm.: Markham Stouffville Hospital Tuesday at 10 am.
I acknowledged that later in the evening I would be doing absent healing as more needed to be done. To do so now, would put her in a healing crises and that would compound the health issues she was dealing with.
I know that spirit is directing me to assist Rose. I guess we shall see where it take us.   the secret in my work is TO TRUST. 

​I am informed three (3) times during the visit that I can help her  with some mobility. ( I choose not to tell her this. I  inform spirit if she wants me to help:"She will ask me".) I did not share this as it sounded presumptuous, egotistical and I needed more information before I would make that kind of  outrageous statement.   in love and light

​ Intro for Healing   Feb 28
Our life journey is a process of soul expansion and refinement through a variety of lessons we need to experience. If we release the chatter of  negative thoughts and emotions, it allows us to focus and be mentally alert to what is a better choice. Healing is about eliminating the negative energies held within our cellular memory. Cellular  Memory often causes repeated patterning. These  lessons  can also create issues  such as loss of soul particles: these little pieces of our souls need to be brought back into our essence so that our souls can progress more lovingly  When we review the life choices we have made, with this knowledge in mind, it will show us what needs healing.
When you acknowledge, understand and change the result to positive choices you can heal  what needs to be addressed and  have an impact  not only your life, but the lives of everyone around you, especially immediate family. 
 The biggest changes and choices come from within, not without.  Remove  negative energies within the body and you begin a process that could eventually release unwanted burdens.  These burdens, even the memory of them, often prevent you from moving forward to be all that you can be.    in love and light

 
Healing the Sacrum  Feb 26
Telbisz is an old friend who lives west of Montreal. We met a body Electronics Workshop 24 years ago in Toronto. He often visited on his way to and from Toronto as we lived near the 401 in Whitby, now he detours via Peterborough. I love his enthusiasm, he constantly shares his latest experiences and what he has  learned from the interesting souls he meets during his travels.
On his last visit, talk turned to my recent exploits and this gave him the idea for me to do a healing on him. I asked why? He said, with a mischievous smile: "You tell me."
 
So, as I was aligning with his energies, spirit drew to his left leg between the knee and ankle. I explained the area was drawing a lot of energy and I felt it was tied into an old injury from decades ago.
I was then drawn to the lower spine at L3. The 3rd vertebrae up from the tailbone. They showed me a  small injury that had healed, yet the area was still out of alignment and needed balancing. I also was shown a bicycle which told me that the injury was related to an accident when he was much younger. He replied that he had an accident around 16 where he did a summersault over the handlebars when he  had to brake suddenly after racing a Mack Truck from a takeoff from a traffic light. He did not fell he hit his tailbone, although he had plenty of other injuries. I explained that we are not always aware of how injuries impact the body. The predominant ones are what we remember. As I continue to heal the sacrum he states that his left shoulder is feeling the warmth moving into it.
Telbisz explains that the Osteopath say he has torn ligament damage in that shoulder,(which will take a long time to heal) and the meniscus in both his knees does not get much blood flow and that therefore, all he can do for his off and on knee pain/discomfort is to lose weight and that full healing of his knees is not attainable through osteopathy   or chiropractic care.
I explain that energy goes to where it is needed." You probably had an issue during the accident and this is being healed". He complains that he had more pain in his Right leg than left. Obviously, that when you injure one side, you favour the other side and it hurts more often.  We balance the left leg. We close the session, explaining that the following week he will feel a lot better with more energy. I am also being told we need to do this at least twice more.
 

Trust Your Inner Wisdom
Learning to trust is not always easy. We often have fears to overcome working with our  inner wisdom to help move us forward. Ego can cause many issues and give us self doubt. You need to trust your first thought when questioning what to do. First thought is HIGHER SELF telling you what is acceptable and the right answer. The second thought is your EGO.  The EGO says " let us stay safe where we make -"NO CHANGES "and continue on with our head in the sand. You have choices. Choice to listen to the inner guidance and you will never be wrong.
 
 I am publishing my first book " Pearls of Wisdom- Life Lessons of a Medium"  As I am talking to the representative of the  publishing company, spirit says "This is only the beginning". Wow,  so excited to finally be getting the material in book form.
Then my mind starts racing to do a large intense two (2) day workshop on " Mediumship."  So many people want to understand: how to connect, how to trust, the appropriate questions  to ask, what kind of answers to give or not give. It will be of great benefit for beginners and advanced as it will confirm and enhance abilities, sharing  insights and knowledge to integrate and propelling  attendees to connect with trust and confidence.  
This is where my heart and passion are. I really miss public speaking and doing the "Alva Show". This is my next wonderful adventure. Thank you "SPIRIT"  for guiding and assisting my journey of love, light and awareness to help my fellow travellers. Change your thoughts and you change your world. Fear is an obstacle for some people. It is an illusion for me.   love and light 

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  Wayne Gretsky.

There have been only a few times in my life that I have made that statement to a client. I usually share insights that encourage them to do what they wish, share or not. It is a choice.
I was reminded of two teachers from Scarborough that booked readings with me. The first Susan was easy 45 minutes gave her insights and everything that satisfied her that it was a good reading.
Joanne was a different story. I can recall the information being in depth about the future and continued for over 2 hours. What was going to happen. When, how and the action she should take in regards to the information being received. It was what I consider an "INTENSE" session.
This was during the period that I tape recorded my sessions and give the tape to the client. Spirit told her three (3) times not to let anyone listen to the insights. I believe there was some sort of legal issue involved. I honestly do not remember the information I gave her. That is normal as the insight is for you, not me. 
The point I am sharing is that THREE times Joanne was told -"BY SPIRIT" Do NOT let anyone hear this information. It is for your ears only, to help you work through this difficult situation. She was satisfied when she left.
Three hours late I get a phone call. Alva my tape is blank. I ask: "Who were you sharing the information with?" She says that irrelevant. I state "NO" three times you were told it is privileged information to assist you. Do not let anyone hear the tape or it would be erased. She was very irate and yelled at me. I took the money she had paid for the session and put it into an envelope for both ladies and mailed it immediately. My work is an exchange of energy. I felt that the energy exchange was not good and I did not wish to have the money. It was not in my best interest. 
Being strong doesn’t mean you have to stay and fight all the battles and petty arguments that come your way or respond to rude remarks. Don’t retort by throwing insults back at them. It’s what they want. Keep your dignity and don’t lower yourself to their level.                            in love and light

 

Teaching and Travelling
Driving home after teaching Development Classes is often a slower drive than the drive to Oshawa. Amazed by how fast those passing in the left-hand lane are traveling in the nasty weather. I would like to live for a long time so I drive according to road conditions, often it is 10 klm below what is posted. Living in the country on a dirt road can be a challenge. Last night was the worst since I moved here two years ago. The main Hwy 35/115 road conditions change at the Tapley Road Exit and it is time to be extreme caution often slowing down more due to Fog, Snow or Sleet.
This also happens as I turn on Frank Hill Road, the last 3 klm home. Last night it was not salted and I had three cars behind me. Not much common sense there, as If I had stopped there would have been a rear-end accident. Often wonder if some of the drivers got their license in a cracker jack box! Ya, that is sarcasm.
You could see the build-up of ice on the road so I slowed down even more.
I took my foot off the gas to slow down even more before the turn onto Lawrence Street as both ends of the dirt road have a steep grade. Wow! no control and slid into the mound of snow at the bottom of the hill. Thought I was going to take out the ugly hedge in front of that house. Fortunately for me, the snow plow mounds the snow on this curve and it stopped my car. Gently backed up moved the car slowly on the icy road the four houses down the street and prayed the garage doors would open quickly to allow me to slide into my garage without an incident. Not much concerns me driving and I am slow and
cautious but black ice is treacherous and leaves you with no control. Delighted that those above travel with me and keep my acute awareness of conditions while driving. I am truly blessed with love and light to guide whatever I do. Thank You to those that travel with me. in love and light

Payment
   
Money is an exchange of ENERGY. It is ok to  GIVE  message to some people.
However: when you give consistently they become EXPECTANT
Example: I was Pastor for 24 years. Did what was appropriate for everyone in the congregation as it was my responsibility. I Did not get paid. When someone wanted to do a workshop and said they could not afford it. They were welcome to do the workshop without paying. No questions asked.
Once one of the members who praised me consistently wanted help, I did not get back to them asap ( 3 days) as I was SICK.
She wrote a scathing one-page article on facebook maligning me, as she felt I was ignoring her. How I only worked with those I favoured. I ignored those in need. etc. etc. I was quickly informed and had it removed. How many people reading it, that do not know me would assume I was not a fair person. One negative comment makes more waves than man/several positive ones..... Proven fact
 
The point is, when you give it away it is often becomes EXPECTED and NOT RESPECTED.  The other understanding I have learned from experience is that the individual is often enabled  to stay stuck  EMOTIONALLY, not taking responsibility for moving forward or working through the issues/problem.
 
 I have spent thousands - no idea - on going to courses, and traveling to learn. Polarity Therapy 3 year course. Hypnosis -. Meditation. Studying in Hawaii $5,000 and in Two trips to Peru probably$10,000.  This is just scratching the surface.
 
When clients pay :THEY PAY MORE ATTENTION to what you are giving them. They can CHOOSE not to follow, however, they RESPECT as they are paying. It does not have to be monetary it can be an exchange of services
 
 You can beginning to see how much and exchange of energy is important.
 
 
Sometimes you just need to let go.

When you give yourself to someone who doesn’t respect you, you surrender pieces of your soul that you’ll never get back. There comes a point when you have to let go and stop trying with some people. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll find a way to put you there. Sometimes you just need to let go and accept the fact that they don’t care for you the way you care for them. Let them leave your life quietly. Letting go is oftentimes easier than holding on. We think it’s too hard to let go, until we actually do. Then we ask ourselves, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

Awareness: Dec 18 2017
Discovering all of your traits and habits that may not be yours alone is fascinating. Revisiting your childhood gives you a reflection of how your peers and family attitudes have imprinted on how you look and treat others. We learn from everyone around us mostly from example and then too often, we emulate what we have seen. At a tender age, you take on their views of how to cope, deal and move forward in life. Good and Bad attitudes are imprinted in our cellular memory.
This is just one of the attitudes I am working through:
I am over compassionate and I GO THE EXTRA MILE for those who are emotionally and financially distraught.  Over the years my daughter would often ask why I would do so much for others? I have inherited an overwhelming compassion, sometimes to my  personal detriment to assist others. Doing work on becoming aware of personal choices from my childhood has helped me grow tremendously in knowing when to have compassion and when to step back.
My stepfather had POLIO as a child and was in an iron lung until two  operations allowed him to live a normal life. His caregivers WENT THE EXTRA MILE to get him on his feet.  His mother sold her two  investment homes for the operations. . This was his mothers retirement money and many had to assist him  during that period of time.  This left my dad with a burden of guilt that affected every aspect of  life and how he treated everyone. Here is an example of one of the traits I have taken on by example.
Every time my aunt was expecting. He would bring the rest of the kids to our house during the summer months, so she could rest up. This happened until he moved them into the house next to us. My dad had a good job as a foreman on the Niagara Power Project.  I often went shopping  for groceries and he would fill the shopping cart to the brim. When we arrived  home half of the groceries went  to feed my aunt, uncle and five children, who lived next door.
In the review of my childhood I was aware that in his passing, this family were more concerned about their loss of financial support from my dad, than in my mothers' loss. He also left her with no income or  insurance and three small children.
As I review this period of time I saw how his view of guilt and taking care of others affects me. It became my norm. I  have a better concept of when to assist and when to step back and allow the experience to enhance the individuals life. When we constantly do for others it is our need to feel good and take the personal responsibility to learn and grow away from them. in love and light
Everyone, lives the life of their choosing.Not just what they choose, but what they are choosing.
 

​Understanding the Trauma
Mom was taken to the hospital with labour pains. I suspect it was a fairly long labour as that runs in our family. When mom was ready to give birth the nurses crossed her legs so I could not be born. The doctor does not get PAID if he is not at the birth, hence the crossing of moms legs.
Whether we realize it or not, everything in life is contained in the memory of the cells, from the time of conception. It also has the imprint, or patterns from our Grandparents, parents. etc. This is  part of genetics we inherited as well, and many people are becoming more aware. It is very important to know that all we see, hear, feel, taste and touch, is contained in the memory of the cells.
The patterning that is set up in the birth process may interfere with the progression of the life path of the infant. There are no accidents. Many traumatic and dramatic lessons both mother and child are facing in their life. While destiny definitely plays a part, there are many man-made traumas that can be avoided and eliminated.
Not allowing me to push my way into the world has caused emotional trauma that needs to be addressed.  I  was  held back by the crossing of the legs. This explains why I push back when someone tries to hold me back or stop me. I need to be in control. I am always thinking about new projects before I am finished the old ones. It explains the impatience I have with myself and frustration with others. Even my seedlings for the garden are started earlier than necessary.
Healing is progressing and I am learning to change my thought process to mentally take time  when working on projects. I meditate at least once a day. There are days when I cry a lot. On those days I find the option of meditating 2 or 3 times a helps me to work through the emotions as they arise. Through the years I learned to stop and not say anything for at least 24 years before responding when I was angered. Interesting as through the process, it now affects me even less.  I am much calmer and do not have to react to others behaviour.
I am truly grateful for the support of those unseen to direct my path and allow me to fully understand  the steps necessary to address and heal my soul. I continue to heal and retrieve the fragments of my  soul that were chipped away by pain.  If we truly want to help others we have to heal ourselves. So make sure you are comfortable with those you trust to help you work through your emotional issues. Check credentials and get referrals..
 in love and light

​I always was aware of spirit. As I began teaching meditation, people started calling for me for advice to help them find answers on how to cope with life issues. Word slowly spread . One day in my  meditation I was told by spirit that it was time to charge per visit and I was to say  that I was a "Life Direction Consultant". Not much has changed since that day. I have studied many modalities and received many certifications but I keep going back to Life Coaching. Why change what works for you.
All of the courses I have taken including the Dr of Natural Medicine has helped me to explain the source and/or underlying cause of what ails the individual. I find it so fascinating that I am back where I started and doing what I love most.
After doing Past Lives for 10 years Spirit insisted In get Certified in Hypnosis. When training in Reiki, Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usuii, explained that  I was already working with him for years. As I learned Polarity Therapy, Dr Stone stood opposite my massage table showing hand placements for maximum release.
When I work using my hands doing "VIBRATIONAL/ENERGY HEALING" the room is often filled with the scent of Roses, I am aware Mother Mary is present. In Hawaii I communicated in the sacred sites with the Kaunas- Original healers. In Therapeutic Touch (TT) I was trained by Mary Simpson. The list goes on as Spirit has directed my path every step of the way. I am truly blessed to be able to share my gifts with all who wish to learn, grow and connect to understand their true gifts.
For those who don't yet understand themselves. It is impossible that they might understand you. It is the same for those who don't yet love themselves.   in love and light

​she is emotionally exhausted and walks into the ocean to die. End of movie. It was such a hard movie to watch. The feelings and understanding of this empath put me in tears. Fortunately for me the foyer of the building was dark so no one saw the impact it had on me. I will read  the reviews before I go again. Life is hard enough without sitting through emotional movies like this.
My thoughts over the last few days has been. I wonder how difficult it was for this Actor/Comedian to portray being thoughtless, inconsiderate and money his only focus? I would love to have a conversation to find out. He certainly did an outstanding job.                          in love and light

History
I was never fond of History while at school. I always felt that is was names and dates and the perception of who won the war's point of view. Turns out I was right. We had a class outing to Tussauds' Wax Museum just after studying about Louis Riel. He was depicted as being a traitor in our history books. For those of you who don't know. He was defending his Metis people and was hung for it. He is now a Hero in Winnipeg Manitoba and has a day in the summer where everyone celebrates him as a HERO.
As I stood in front of the was replica I was overwhelmed with how much my young brother looked like him. Right down to the tip of his nose. I had never really seen a picture of him. I could not believe my eyes. The talk within the family was were related but Grandma Riel was a very proud lady and would not discuss it. I am sure that it was how the History books depicted him, as a traitor. She was a well know couturier and designed  Bridal gowns for the Eatons' Stores  She lived in Winnipeg Manitoba and also made a lot of clothes for Gisele Mackenzie, a Canadian Singer and Actress.(Jack Benny's era). My first sewing kit came from her at 7 ys of age. Shortly after receiving it I made a red straight skirt without a pattern.
So, as I stood in front of Mr Riel I was mesmerized and found it fascinating as I knew the stories were real. I went home excited to share with the family and encouraged them to go see for themselves. The next day at school, one of my classmates made a derogatory remark about my brother being a traitor too. Oh my, punched him in the nose and was sent to the Principals office. The Principal was surprised by my actions as I was a very shy student and never gave anyone a hard time. He told me I had to apologize and I informed him that I would  no such thing. NO ONE had the right to malign my family, however the young man needed to apologize to me and my brother. I would remain in his office until it was done.
The principal called the young man into the office and inquired as to the remarks and made him apologize. I am fiercely proud of my family and all of extended family. No one has the right to bad mouth anyone. That was the beginning of my standing up for those who were being bullied or addressed incorrectly. Yes my brother and sister are "Riel" and I am very proud of all of their accomplishments in life. I may not be a hero or a Riel but I have his attitude.    in love and light

​Chakras: The Energetic Core Nov 17
When you love what you do it shows. Pay attention to the details and focus on your passion. I have had the pleasure and privilege to work in many  different capacities. Sometimes one on one, other times in groups or workshops. The thread that ties us together is love and wanting to be aware of how to move forward. That has always been my gift in sharing. I have tremendous passion for assisting - not telling anyone what to do to gain insights, awareness of how to address issues, of home, business or personal areas that need assistance, but helping them realise they have choices.
The soul is the guide and teacher for personality. The physical body is the vehicle for the expression of the soul on earth, just as on a higher plane the soul serves as an expression for the spirit. Your brow center- the third eye  is the connection between God Source and the earthly body.
The chakras situated along the spinal column are the central energetic core of our existence. When we learn  to observe natural laws governing our environment we become aware and how to work with the movement of all things from pure spirit to physical mater and the return to spirit. The knowledge of the chakras can provide a complex system which enables us to organise and understand our experiences; thus creating the possibilities for acceptance of some situations and changes of those that are no acceptable. Developing a sense of their characteristics through meditation and introspection can enhance the all over quality of life. Knowledge of the Chakras can be utilized for  true liberation and fulfilment. in love and light

​Just do it. Nov 15
Are you venturing out into a new area? Take the material, knowledge and understanding and make it your own. Then just do it. Experience and time will show you how to make it personal and unique to you. Take classes from EVERYONE who works similarly to you. You can always learn more. NO ONE person has all the answers. To be good at what you do, be open to learning from all.
Truly went to California for three month to work with Sharon to learn the intricacies of CCMBA. I had  years of practical Healing Modalities and then learned with Sharon in an intensive workshop in Hawaii. We both have years of practical experiences in Past Lives. Experience makes the difference between being an expert and just doing it. Having said that everyone has to start somewhere.
In last two workshops  that were recently presented, we had  individuals  recording all that was said and done. How sad! Why did you not feel you could not attend these workshop?  We work with everyone who wishes to learn. Please feel free to join us and learn PERSONALLY. You really don't get the energy, insights, nuances and awareness from recordings. When you truly work with higher awareness and source everything comes to light.  Namaste.

Life is a puzzle:  Nov 14
I have always enjoyed doing puzzles. My family and friends have been generous with a variety of themes. I latest is Star Wars. Thousands of Star Wars images in each puzzle piece.. The large completed puzzle will be Darth Vader. I have the boarder almost complete 10 hrs later. This will be a work in progress over the winter.
I start by separating all the colours and  addressing the boarder first.  I don't start by looking at the larger picture but focus on shapes and fitting the colour sections together. Kind of like my life. What is the next area, venue or workshop I should be focusing on.
With all the emotional work I am doing I see this puzzle as  a reflection of my life. All the aspects of  personality, the different courses, jobs, relationships all  in the tapestry of my life, where I have been, and  where I am going. Sometimes the road was easy, others times a struggle with many hardships along the road. Always looking for a new adventure or challenge in my life. I am grateful at the moment of being aware that I need to travel back into my childhood  to understand all aspects of pain, sorrow and joy to be where I am today. In the greater scheme of life I hope my life's tapestry will be one of compassion, love and sharing life with the beautiful souls who have ventured into my life. I also wanted to be remembered as someone who loved passionately to share, tell stories for personal growth and encouragement. When my picture is complete I would like it to be of a beautiful soul who did her best.
in love and light

​Politically Correct:
Once again I was reminded how easy it is to forget to be politically correct. Having served on 3 boards respectively, 4 , 9  and 24  years, I found it fascinating and sad how many personal agendas were tied into the overall direction of how these boards would be run. My view was to do my best to bring awareness, insight and knowledge to move an organization forward to the betterment of all members.
In the end I left all three for the same reason. Sadly we need to withdraw when we feel our views are no longer valued. In the world of instant gratification we also need to be politically correct in our work ethics or words used in addressing others be it the spoken word or the written .On occasion I found myself guilty in both areas. When this occurs I comply and  rectify how the error has been made.
These are all life lessons. I view it as the seasons passing. Spring is about cultivating, fertilizing and applying seeds to nurture. Summer is watering, pulling weeds and encourage growth. Fall is in the abundance of the labour put into your seeds to harvest. Winter is about revisiting all the good, acknowledge the changes needed for the next crop and deciding what works best for you.

Personal Healing: Nov 11
I have chosen to release the emotional trauma of my memory loss. When you don't remember the pain of emotional issues it is higher self saying. If I stuff this down I can survive and carry on for the moment and then it is held in the cellular memory of the body.
I personally want to be clear out the cellular memory that no longer serves me. We all carry memories from good and bad experiences. So car accidents, falling off your bike, being abused , mentally, physically, even the unkind word. NO one is exempt. The more you stuff it down the more issues you have accumulated. We must know our body and its response to outside influences, its basic weaknesses, strengths, what we can handle and what we cannot. A dis-ease manifestation most often occurs in a weak area of the body and can be the result of stress and/or susceptibility due to basic genetics of the individual. When we are aware of such weakness and susceptibilities, we can take measures to strengthen and protect ourselves from imbalance, despite the role of genetics.
 This is Ill-ness, and dis-ease I am not berating anyone who had an illness. I am stating that this is personal choice to heal the emotions behind the issue at a soul level. All forms of matter  are simply the manifestation of energy -Universal Consciousness. Physical Health depends on all the surrounding environmental influences as well as the spiritual and mental states. When we are fully balanced we see, hear, and feel and act differently that when we are feeling unbalanced.
All ancient scriptures speak of the body being a temple.. You can be the most gifted spiritual person alive, but if you do not give proper care through, diet, exercise, rest and breathing of the physical temple, problems will arise and manifest.   in love and light
"Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward."Henry Ford"

Orgone Energy
 Orgone products are powerful in negating EMF's (Electro  Magnetic Frequency). The startling reality is that many of us will be affected by magnetic fields created in houses, cars and cell phones. EMF's are everywhere. No One has really told us exactly what potential threat EMF's possess. There are too many  studies (epidemiological) with positive findings for this health issue to be overlooked.
EMF's are produced by power plants and the frequencies are transmitted to all electrical wiring, transformers, cell phones, magnetic fields, fridges, furnaces, radios. You get the picture. It goes on and on. It can accumulate and cause health issues.
​
Orgone products also  have many positive effects such as clear emotional blocks , relieve mental and physical stress, create a more harmonious home & workplace.  To check it out for yourself look at research  done by the Biologist - Wilhelm Reich and the Physicist -  Nikola Tesla.
I personally had major issues when I moved 3 km north of a Solar Farm with 250,000 Solar Panels  which is increasing yearly. I also have a metal roof and a metal bridge of eight teeth. The electromagnetic field ( EMF'S) began causing MEMORY LOSS, major fatigue, not being able to sleep in my bedroom as I was over the furnace room. I could fall asleep in a blink of an eye sitting in the chair in the living room. The moment my head hit the pillow, in the bedroom, I was wide awake.
Humans are electrical creatures. Our Neurological systems function by using electrical currents (cerebral cortex, cortical tracts) and we are able to create our own electricity without outside mechanism involved. The Organite changes the exposure of the electromagnetic fields to change the frequency and energy being absorbed by the devices. I can now think clearly Have great energy and am back on track with my projects. I  have placed  Organite  Pyramids in many areas of my home that have electric appliances such a computers, appliances, furnace room.
