Please join us at Caring Palms on Saturday, April 1st, 1pm-3:30 pm for a Group Past Life Regression session facilitated by Laura Bogen, Certified Hypnotherapist and QHHT Practitioner. Using a simple, but effective visualization technique, the first part will include experiencing one of your past lives that is most appropriate for you to see at this particular time in your life.

Did you witness the library of Alexandria burning? Were you the chief of an ancient native tribe? Perhaps a knight in medieval times? The possibilities are endless.  

Then stay a bit longer for the second part, an effective guided meditation that will take you to meet your spirit guide, where you will receive a gift & message pertinent to your life at this time.  

Lastly, we will leave time for a short, fun mental exercise and discussion. 

All you have to do is show up! (We recommend that you bring a pillow to sit on, as space is limited.) Call to reserve your spot or sign up and pay online. Walk-ins are welcome.

Release, Allow, Accept

by Brian Dean

Many of us are control freaks, in fact, I’d bet most of us.  We like things to work a specific way, a pattern we are used to, something recognizable predictable.  But many times, things don’t go as planned.  Let’s say you stepped in the shower expecting the usual nice hot water shower that gets you going in the morning.  But something happened and the hot water heater broke and all you have is a cold mess.  Yes, things happen that are unpredictable.  Things go wrong.  And these things upset the balance of the universe, at least for us individually.  And of course, they are out of our control.

As children, we expect things to go our way every time.  As we grow older, we find that this is not the case.  In fact, things don’t go our way all that often.  We try tightening our grip, our control, and see more things not behaving as we want them. 

It is at this moment that we have to accept.  Firstly, we accept that things can not be controlled.  We have to accept that things happen as they should, and do so in their own times. 

As we release our grip on things, we allow things to move according to their own nature.  And then we adapt to that nature, which makes our expectations be more realistic, and lessens the stress that we put ourselves through.  This then puts us in harmony with the nature of things.  And once we start putting ourselves in harmony with the nature of small things, we also get into harmony with the nature of the universe.  When we stop trying to control the universe, we start working with it, rather than against it.

Control is a myth.  Wanting it causes stress which is against the way of things.  Everything has a path, a form, a function, a time, and no matter what you do those will never change.  So you change.  You learn to let go, allow things to move as they should, and release the stress.  Then you become a lovable, likable person. 

Release, allow, accept.  This is how to move through life.  This raises the vibration and allows joy to spread, which then relieves the stress in others.  And that is what love is about.

There have been a few comments made to me recently that made me wonder about why we came up with these words that we use.

Someone was telling me that something gave them the willies.  Willies?  Who decided to name this feeling Willy?  Why not Fred?  Or Brenda?  “I just walked into the place and something gave me the Freds.”  Maybe not as classy, maybe more.  Maybe it should be formal, like Fredericks.

Now what about the poor maligned Charley Horse?  Charley?  Or should it be Charlie?  Is spelling important?  What if it were the Jonathon horse?  And why do none of these have women’s names?  What about the Antoinette Horse, or the minor version, Toni Pony? 

And then there’s the heebee jeebees.  “I was talking to them and got the heebee jeebees.”  Is this the male version?  Is there a female version, maybe the sheebee jeebees?

And animals.  Why animals?  Horse?  What about chicken pox?  Why a chicken?  Why not something else like a fox.  Hmm, Fox Pox.  At least it has a rhyme to it.

And the disease, the crabs.  Why not the lobsters or some other shellfish?  Years ago in Baltimore where hard shell blue crabs is a local specialty, there was a sign on a place that sold crabs that read… “Mom, don’t cook tonight. Dad’s coming home with the crabs.”

And I hear enough about the prefix “dis”.  When we put it in front of something, it means the opposite.  For instance, disease, or dis-ease.  Meaning a person not at ease due to illness.  One program a few years back looked at disaster, or dis-aster.  And when things went right, they were “feeling the aster.”

I get a lot of people coming to me telling me they are out of whack.  This tells me they are out of sorts, not quite right.  But I’ve never heard anyone feeling good telling me they were in whack.  Why not?

Just some crazy things to ponder when you have nothing better to do.  And here’s hoping you all are well and in whack.

Enjoy and remember each moment life offers you joy.  Save each memory of joy, of happiness, of people you can no longer be with.  These memories of past joy can nourish and comfort you if joy ceases.  You can relive joy, but first you have to create it, and store it as your memory. 

Writer’s personal note:  This message was given to our class yesterday.  And on the day that I write this to pass it on, I have been reminded of my father-in-law’s passing two years ago today, just two months after my father’s passing.  What this passes on is very true.  Make the memories you can of people and events.  Then store them away and remember them with fondness, joy, and love.

And the second message goes a bit farther in a different direction

Forget tragedy.  Don’t feel bad of how someone passed on, or how young they were.  Enjoy the life that was no matter how long or how short.  Don’t worry about what might have been or what was to come. Know that the life was full and the task fulfilled.  Any life is a celebration and we should acknowledge that.

As a person who is spiritual, I believe that we come into each life to learn, to fulfill some task.  That task could be change the world, or to die young by someone’s negligence.  The one’s that change the world could do so by being the leaders of some movement of change, or the evil that this movement of change is fighting.  We could be here to be the role model, or the example of what not to be.  (I used to have a boss that lied and cheated his way through everyone he could, and he loved telling about how bad his life was.  He would then state “Well, God keeps me around for reason.” Yes, I always thought that reason was to be an example.) 

Each person, each spirit as they fulfill their role accomplishes their tasks, even if their task was to bring attention to problems going on in the world. We should acknowledge that, all the successes, and failures, all the ups and downs.  Each is a piece of a puzzle, and when put together with other pieces make a whole, but that whole is part of the global consciousness, of raising vibrations, of moving everything ahead.  Everything is a part of what should be.

Don’t mourn a passing, celebrate the existence.  Each piece is a stepping stone of a journey, of growth for all.
