The Healing House

I am facebook challenged and am pleading to my spirit kin on this blog.   Everyone has it. Everyone talks about it, praises it, curses it, mantras it and some I swear main line it.

My web designer was all for my adding this site to facebook.  She pointed out the advantages to the social networking aspect.  I did see her point, however, after trying it for couple months closed the account.  What I found was it no different than the regular facebook I had couple years back.  A social site where people are able to live out their dramas.  A site that captures the attention and hangs on the juggler of those who need to fill their cups with other peoples business.    I could be wrong, however, the  news feeds continue to pour in about  lack of work or concentration at jobs because of facebooking at their office desks.  It has also been proven that students are performing dismally at their studies because the allowance of cellphones in classes have them secretly or even openly checking their facebook accounts.  On a personal note one of our kids, cannot separate the priority of looking for a job because the need to be on the computer facebooking overwhelms the need to make money.  This child is of adult age  and still requires constant followup, nudging or prying.  And altho Facebook cannot be entirely named to blame it is certainly worth taking consideration as a big contributor.   It seems to be the evil that we parents are battling with when raising our children.  I often wonder what the virtual drug will be for their children?

When I had The Healing House on Facebook there were never new clients acquired from it.  I found that new business still flowed in because of my website, referrals and other media postings such as flyers and not my facebook.  FB only provided me with the heads up on what another business owner was up to.  Who cares?  I am a law of attraction facilitator and can attract all that I want.  That is what I teach so again I ask myself what do I need an entire site to list my personal information or feelings when it can by law of attraction cause more harm than good in manifesting. If thoughts are things and proven to shape your realities why would I want to be caught in the thoughts of someone else’s  dramas.

This brings me to Twitter.  Altho the word ‘Twit’ is within the full name I am over it.  I like Tweeting Twitting or one lining it. It’s better than main lining it.  I can insert a link or a positive affirmation I can spend an entire 2 minutes reading other peoples tweets and feel inspired or have a giggle.  I have not read any articles about twitter causing emotional damages or addictions.

Is Facebook a solution to social networking? Or is it some site to feed narcissistic souls? Are we on it to build our business, enhance our lives or are we just spying on what our friends are doing.  Are users cowardly ending relationships on it as well as including speaking their so-called minds about another which is publicly humiliating them for everyone else to read?  Do businesses use it to expand their horizons or subliminally trash their competitors.   Just a thought.

Would love to hear your take!   Post them on  the comment section below.

I promise not to post it on Facebook.

Today is Friday the 13th. “Wooooooo….Veywee Scawee… For some it is superstitious, others as myself delightfully fascinating. The fear of Friday 13th is called Paraskevidekatriaphobia. It is the first of 3 of them for this year.

Todays news reports ”It’s been estimated that $800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business.  Hotels and skyscrapers do not have a 13th floor.  Grocery stores do not have an aisle 13.  To the Pagan Romans Friday was the execution day and later in Britain called HangMans Day.

For the fascinated tree hugging dirt worshippers this is a day to celebrate or to feel the magick.  ”Friday” which was named after the goddess “Freya” was a norse goddess of fertility.  A very good sign indeed.  Means to be productive, fruitful or rich with bounty . But in other pre-Christian cultures it was the sabbath, a day of worship and Fridays were celebrated as a Holy day for those who had not yet been suppressed by the early Church religions.

The number 13 is associated with many positive old age beliefs.  For instance the Jews celebrate a young male or female into adulthood at 13.   The egyptians regarded life’s ascension like a ladder with 12 steps and the 13th the eternal beautiful after life not about death or decay.  There are also 13 lunar cycles per year that has a strong association for many in the wholistic wellness field.

On a personal note I love fridays.  That is the end of the week when Homer is home from work and we have our weekend together to look forward to and I love the number 13.  It is a number that seems spooky to so many which stirs the curious ‘black’ cat within.  Also my beautiful parents were married January 13 and tho they are in spirit today I gratefully honour their union.  They remained married (until death did they part) for over 33 years.

How do you view this calendar day?  Is it virtuous? sacred? religious? Or is it cursed?  jinxed? blighted?  And why?

Well I woke up this morning at 5:30 to do Wilmas daily ritual making sure her Homer/Freddy got off to his Gravel pit with belly full of supplements and green drink.  Handed him his lunch, making sure his clothes were not on backwards ( he tends to be less tuned in then I that early in the morning) a loving kiss, then watch him slumber to his truck and drive away.  Next my attention is twarted to my computer and dive into this mornings blog.

It was great, I creatively wrote about my take on this holiday season.  Why I am calling it the Seize On and not The Season.  The play on words. Seize was a verb meaning to take hold.  Season a noun which described the four divisions of the year etc., and how I selected the verb because I was going to SEIZE the holidays differently.  Examples such as the added efforts being made to select gifts for the stockings that were not mass produced in a faraway country.  Gratitude, Joy , Health, Abundance and Love were just some of the words used in todays blog.  Notes on my step daughter embracing the idea of giving back and wanting to participate with me at a local food bank this year.  I wrote how she and her daughter shopped to donate food supplies at their local pet shelter.   This inspiring me to also quote Wayne Dyer…”Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness.”

Oh there was also the cynicism in my morning blog about family the rituals and gatherings.

I then selected to post my script and the computer froze.  Just Froze.  No allowing me to do ANYTHING.  I decided to set it down, walk away, feed the dogs and check it when I returned. Nothing.  20 minutes later and still frozen.  I had no option but to shut it down. Lose my blog my two hours of life that I will never get back. Maybe it was the reason that this season had ‘seized’ my blog.  Cynicism was rising within  then I remembered about Mercury and how there is still about a week left of its presence along with its chaos and I chose my daughter’ s take on the matter.  I shrugged my shoulders and said, “I’m over it.”

So above is my quick re-do of todays blog. I will be Seizing the Season by filling the girth of everyones stocking with less items made overseas and more items that are handmade, nutritious, educational and fun. I will be drinking Americanos with extra shots of espresso, humming some carols and decking the halls with the merriments of adorning accents. I will also continue to teach Kickboxing to work off the Americanos!  I will reflect on what this time of year means to me and Love My Life.

Would be delighted  to hear back with your take on this years Winter Solstice.  Are you with the Season? The Seize-on? The Cynicism?   Remember it’s all Good and none of it is real so just relax.

Love and light, Hedwigg          

As a tree hugging dirt worshipper. I am attuned to studying subjects that not only include the sciences of nutrition and field of medicines and therapies but to the esoteric connections with them.

I am absorbed, hitched and addicted to the roll the universe plays with functions of our body and health.  Reflexology is one practice among many that teach there are meridians which run thru our bodies.  Those same meridians also run along the universes infinitness.  How then can we separate ourselves from the fact that we are all connected.  When I study the planets and the roll they play I am less confused and patient to the shifts occurring within my own paradigms.

Currently Mercury is in retrograde.  That means a planet has taken a break from orbiting and is simply stopped.  Having a rest.  Because Mercury is a major active planet these are some of the things you may have noticed lately:

• Angrier people
• Crazy drivers
• More accidents
• Miscommunication
• Quarrels
• Computer problems and breakdowns
• Delays
• More mistakes
• Slow mail
• Games of phone tag
• Wrong directions
• Missed appointments
• Dead cell phone batteries

For those who say, “that happens to me all the time!” I suggest calling me and we talk about tweeking your manifesting abilities. LOL.  Don’t worry folks this planet is resting for about another 2 weeks.

It is recommended by fellow esoteric nerds such as myself to avoid starting any new projects or business.   Yes life does go on and if you must enter into new contracts or are looking for new jobs just re read all papers.  Keep your phone batteries charged and watch your driving for starters.

Remember, Meditation, eating live food and exercise is a wonderful start to keeping on track with the wonderful you.  Tell someone you love them and HUG them! Even if it does not change Mercury’s planetary position, it’s a nice gesture and will boost your emotions and immune system.  That’s a good thing Martha!

Feel free to share your stories about what you have noticed with this very active but currently still planet.

Love and Light,  Hedwigg

Watched Finding Forrester with Sean Connery and  Rob Brown.  Forgetting how wonderfully spiritual this movie was about a unique friendship/family bond between two individuals most likely to not coexist according to the norm.

I was very touched when listening to the essay Jamal read by Sean Connery (Forrester) about the lost and found on family.  I am enclosing the quoted essay  as follows:

“Losing family . . . obliges us to find our family. Not always the family that is our blood, but the family that can become our blood. And should we have the wisdom to open our door to this new family, . . . we will find that the wishes and hopes we once had . . . for the father who once guided us, for the brother who once inspired us, . . . those wishes are there for us once again.”

I felt moved and yet wish to add to this beautiful score with my own thoughts.

“thru this same wisdom we will be also revealed the mother that nurtured our dreams or the sister who yielded her compassion. Blessedly we may also find the child.  The child who thru their own innate wisdom remind us of our eternal joy and that life is never about the suffering, only the laughter”

I am eternally blessed and thank this movie for reminding me what a wonderful world we live in. In addition for guiding me to having the wisdom to open the door and keep the mind open.

Look forward to hearing about your own accounts of “finding forrester”

love and light,

Hedwigg

I am WACKED from Kickboxing and going to west my wacky self to bed. GOOD NIGHT!  :)

nighty night

Well Monday Man Candy Blog was interesting. You ladies are wild with ideas and I can see how I would run out of room trying to enter all suggestions.  My favourite so far is Homer but I have been known to be biased.

Today is Tuesday and If I was to have a bit of temper taming it would have to be concerning the area as to why some people are always looking for reasons to be offended.  There are some like minded individuals as myself who believe in Law of Attraction,  where thoughts are things and who apparently hold true to the conviction that we ask for everything we get in our lives.  As harsh as it may sounds it does make alot of sense for us wayseeers.   People who accept this way of thinking must also accept responsibility for how they live their lives.  No longer can we blame some outside force for our circumstances.  If thoughts are things then we hold the power to change our circumstances by changing how we thought.  Where my peeve comes is when these same self proclaimed wayseers think that they still have a right to impose their opinions or thoughts deemed as the only right one on everyone else. And instead of sharing the light they wanna cram their way as the only way.  Very Dogma and not my cup of  enlightenment.  When you say no thanks that is when they get offended.    Metaphysics is spiritual.  Not Religious.  It is not about being Right it is about feeling good. I love my spirituality but am humble enough to know that in this grandeur of time and space there is a possibility for another way of thinking.  Whatever set of beliefs works for you then Blessed Be!   I just ask that you try not to be offended because I am not wanting the same belief.

Being rude or inconsiderate is grounds for feeling offended but even that, one must be careful not to stay offended for long or law of attraction will give you more.

In my work/fun shops I offer this thought :  A belief is only a thought that one keeps thinking.   I also hold true to “What anyone thinks of me is none of MY business”

To conclude I would like to say that altho some of us will miss the physical presence of Steve Jobs his imprint continues to unfold.  He contributed to this world and did what he loved.  His words he left behind are wonderful and parallel with todays thoughts.

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the
only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is
great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what
you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't
settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you
find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better
and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you
find it. Don't settle."

-- Steve Jobs--

Recently I was abrupted with a text from a family member who chances are very innocently thought she was being funny when referring to a status on my phone.  Although I have shared in the past with this member certain behavioural protocols that were bestowed upon me growing up it was clear in this text none were going to be found.  I found my adrenaline rushing as over the next 30 seconds try to justify her ignorance, however I also felt hurt as with the saying much truth is found in jest.  I jabbed back with a suggestion that manners would have been a better choice and may do her a world of good.  Several minutes later  a response ensued.

I was given the opportunity to consider that manners are a set of standards set out by society based upon culture and upbringing etc., and questioned as to who’s standards I was referring?  I was also briefed that this individual thinks of herself as having great manners.

As I pondered the last portion of her response along with the initial text she sent , was enlightened that in this glorious world every one is entitled to a belief.  I have been raised culturally to use my manners almost always.  It is free and opens doors. My mother insisted that manners separated the well and ill bred.   I agree that more importantly they build self esteem and character.  They attribute value to another human being and that just feels darn GOOD!  Manners and Love are rather inclusive.  Both are  polite and imparts value to people. Manners builds friendships and are also a part of kindness reminding us that when we are kind to someone else the world does not revolve around ourselves.

I have a certain set of beliefs, that when mannerly speaking one thinks before one speaks in order not to offend another.  Treat onto others as you would want to be treated.  In other cultural ways of life it is also believed pre Christian times that what you put out comes back 3 fold.  Words are powerful. If one speaks with thought and kindness, it is granted in return 3 times.   The same implies with words with negative connitations attached to them.    Law of attraction denotes that thoughts are things and creates ones future.

And with all that said, a belief is still only a thought that one keeps thinking.

I am grateful for her viewpoint . It inspired me.

As for manners? I am aware they are still free and I always like a good deal!

Love and Light,
