We had some AAAMAZING BREAKTHROUGHS! I don't think individuals realize when they come to training to learn a process, how much processing they themselves go through. There were several individuals who looked lighter and free'er (is that a word?) by the time training was over. I am so excited to see this group use their gifts and talents! I am honored to know you all!
Sandra

"Wow! What a weekend. Just wanted to thank all of you! It was great to get to know you. I feel I have come so far in such a short period of time. Where have you been all my life Sandy? Thanks for showing up for me. As I stepped into that prayer circle on Sunday, the emotions and tears just started. I had no control over them. Thank you all for helping me to heal this. Your love, prayers, and energy all connected with the power of God. Thank you Leslie for seeing the pink heart chakra and gold light chakra and Sandy for directing the healing. I was able to open my heart and see the love and healing."

Farewell to Michael


This weekend we witnessed the tragic death of Michael Jackson. My heart is filled with sorrow as I watched this man emotionally struggle through life. He was the constant focus of the media because of his sometimes bizarre behavior. Yet I believe he was also one of the most misunderstood people.

His song "Have you Seen My Childhood" (playing right now on my play list at the bottom of the page) depicts a life of loneliness and pain.
"I'm searching for the world that I come from
Cause I've been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me....
It's been my fate to compensate, for the Childhood I've never known...
Before you judge me, try hard to love me. The painful youth I've had."

This was an amazing talented human being who missed his childhood and I believe as a result constantly looked to find love for himself through other means. It's amazing that someone so popular with sold out audiences felt unloved. Yet our childhood programming is so powerful that it becomes our truth. His beliefs about not being loved and accepted became his truth and showed up throughout his life as he tried to become something he wasn't.

The world witnessed as he went from an attractive black young man to something mystical and eccentric as he looked for his true identity. On top of that he coped with his emotional pain with all kinds of medications detouring him from his true self.

Unfortunately he had a tragedy when approximately 25 years ago his hair caught on fire filming a Pepsi commercial. As a result he went on pain medications and became addicted.

These pain killers not only took care of the physical burn pain but also his emotional pain and became a way for him to cope with not feeling loved and accepted. It created a long addiction that fatally took a toll on his body.

It is my prayer that this pain can be transformed into lessons of love for his family and loved ones remaining and that he continues on his journey of learning who he truly is. We will miss you Michael.

What are your programmed limiting beliefs and how are they keeping you in pain? How do you cope with them? What self sabotage are you currently creating? This is just an awareness game for yourself and is the first step in transforming these beliefs.

Stay tuned for steps to transforming these limiting beliefs.

Love means forgiveness

Kathy’s story

To truly love someone else, you must love yourself. It has taken me years to come to grips with that statement. All my life, I have looked to others to give me my happiness. I never knew how to love myself.

When you grow up being sexually abused by your father, who professes to love you, but tells you horrible lies and manipulates you so that his dirty little secret will not be discovered, how can you know what true love is?

You think daddy loves you, but deep down you know something is wrong. You internalize it and believe that there must be something wrong with you; not your daddy. This wonderful man kisses you, makes you feel good / bad, and promises you an ice cream cone if you're a good girl.

The little girl in me never knew what real love was or how to love at all for that matter. She was only confused. She grew up looking for love; looking for others to provide happiness for her. She couldn’t find it because she didn’t experience it within herself. Believing all along there is something dreadfully wrong with her; “Why can't I be normal like everyone else?” She painfully prayed over and over again.

I never had the foundation of self love to sustain me in life. I held onto all my limiting beliefs that told me I was powerless and worthless. They were the only identity I knew. They had become my best friend. It was the only thing consistent in my life. Self love was not possible for me as long as I was worthless.

These beliefs manifested through bursts of anger, repressed emotions, depression, anxiety, and then showed up physically in my body. It got to the point that my voice no longer worked. My trachea had literally created scar tissue for some unknown reason that prevented me from breathing and speaking very loud. All those years I felt I couldn’t speak up for myself created a literal physical manifestation of it.

My mother came to me five years ago in a dream. I asked her if my father had sexually abused me as a child. She told me only I could find the truth. I have been on a quest for the truth ever since. The truth is not only what happened to me as a child but a bigger question of “Who am I?”

My pain became overwhelming and I began searching for ways to clear it. At first I saw everyone else as the problem. I wondered how I would ever find joy and peace I so dearly wanted.

“Where is God? Why has he let me suffer so much? Did he abandon me? He should not let little children be used like this. I hate you God! I hate you daddy! I hate, I hate, I hate!”

But this hatred only eats my soul.

FORGIVE? How can I forgive? He'll get away with it! I did nothing wrong! My father needs punishment, not forgiveness.”

Then Sandra referred me to a book that opened my understanding to forgiveness. “The Shack,” by William Paul Young.

In the shack God is having a conversation with Mack concerning forgiveness. The words pierced my soul as I read:

“Forgiveness is first for you, the forgiver. To release you from something that will eat you alive, that will destroy your joy and your ability to love fully and openly. By forgiving, you release him from a burden that he carries whether he knows it or not- acknowledges it or not. When you choose to forgive another, you love him well.
I want to help you take on the nature that finds more power in love and forgiveness than hate.”

“But it feels like if I forgive this guy he gets off free. How do I excuse what he did”

“Forgiveness does not excuse anything. And believe me, the last thing this man is, is free. And you have no duty to justice in this. I will handle that. Allowing my presence in you is the only way true forgiveness is ever possible.”

“But does forgiveness require me to pretend it never happened?” I pleaded

“Will you ever forget what happened to you? I don't think so.

“So is it all right if I'm still angry?

“Absolutely! What he did was terrible. He caused incredible pain to many. It was wrong, and anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain prevent you from forgiving him.”


At that moment I knew that hating my father had kept me in bondage, not my father.

Then I heard, “Let go Kathy. Trust in me. Find the love I have for you; I never abandoned you. It's all about LOVE.”

I am now experiencing more peace in my life as I am forgiving my father. Even though he still denies it, I am able to forgive and free myself from the bonds of hatred that have held me down for so many years. Love has set me free.

Dreams are an amazing tool many of us don't use. Your dreams are a reflection of your inner and outer world. They represent your thoughts and feelings on what you believe and how you act. Even though they may seem ludicrous and far- fetched, there is meaning behind them.

They are a great measuring tool to check into subconscious beliefs you are operating from.

Dreams help you understand fears in life so you can better face them and move through them. They can also help you focus on your wins. The wins in your dream are telling you of what your subconscious believes is possible.

As you fall asleep at night set an intention to remember your dreams.

Your subconscious is the key to healing beliefs. Many beliefs you aren't even aware of. However, they will show up in your dreams. Pay Attention! Fears, nightmares, running from someone or something are all key elements of what needs attention in your life. When you are able to consciously look at what they represent, you have the ability to address the beliefs they relate to.

For example, when I get overwhelmed, I have dreams where I'm in my old career as a hairdresser/esthetician, I have clients lined up out the door and I know it's going to be all day before I can get to them. I have one in the chair processing, while another is in the middle of a haircut and I'm waxing eyebrows on even another. I am hurrying as fast as I can, I'm noticing the long line as I rip the wax off and I take off half her eyebrow! SCARY huh! Okay, so let's analyze.

These dreams occur when I am very busy trying to balance work life, writing a book, planning courses, educating myself, updating web information, taking care of a home, and being mom and wife. When my life is not balanced, my night dreams are not balanced and I am in overload in the dream.

The solution: Designate my time, use my planner to make lists and check them off as I do them so the chaos doesn't remain in my head when I fall asleep. Also learn to be completely in the present moment so I don't rip someone's eyebrow off! Ha/ha

Use your dreams to your advantage. Many times answers to life’s perplexing questions will be answered in your dream state. Ask one question before retiring to bed. “What’s the best way to heal the anxiety I’ve been having?” “How can I get along better with my teenage son?” “What’s the next step for me to go after my dreams?”

Many individuals can't remember dreams when starting out. Here are a few tips and tricks.


1. Tell yourself before falling asleep "I want to remember my dreams, help me to remember my dreams."

2. If you wake to an alarm, tell yourself to wake up 10 min. before your alarm goes off. Alarms are a sure killer of remembering a dream because they bring you to an awake state abruptly.

3. Wake up slowly, stay in la la land and stay as long as you can. (My favorite meditative state to be in) You will become skilled at doing this the more you practice. You will even learn to go in and out of the dream and control it. (This is called lucid dreaming, which is very beneficial to creating a life you want since you are telling the subconscious mind what you want.)

4. While in this dreamy state repeat the dream to yourself. "I am in the woods playing with horses," for example. As soon as your mind goes to the day's events the dream will leave you so stay present to it.

5. Keep your journal and pen by your bed side to record as soon as you wake up while the details are still fresh. You could even use a hand held recorder and write it later.

The Meditate on the Go journal has a section for your dreams. It has all the perfect questions to assist you in interpreting your dreams. Don't have a journal? You can get one here.

"The dream tracker is the easiest way I have found to remember my dreams. Thanks, I love the Meditate on the Go journal!" Ron, ID
