Thank you to the Light Workers, Healers, Holistic Sharers, Naturopaths, to all Spirited Entrepreneurs at the Metaphysical Fair this Labor day weekend of 2012 in Denver, Colorado.
I am doing something a little unusual for me, feeling inspired and wanting to reconnect with the Metaphysical and Holistic world. As I am being forward, and truly want to "Thank you" all for such a pleasurable day, I also felt compelled to share,... Why I am sending out this post?
Well to open with,
As I was walking the aisles on Friday, at the opening of the Fair via the Merchandise Mart, I was filled with excitement to be reconnecting with the many people who have been reaching out to the community, to help the many people who are in need of Metaphysical services.
It is so moving and awesome of you' to do what you do:)
"Helping to improve the quality of life."
"Helping with promoting self healing and self empowerment."
"Helping with relieving ailments, energy blocks, subconscious triggers."
"Helping us to just be us.."
I had the pleasure of sitting in on some of the seminars, one especially moved me, Charol Messenger, she was inspiring and the messages/quotes she read from her books made so much sense.
If you are not familiar with Charol Messenger, she is the author of many books, Wings of Light, Humanity 2.0, helped many writers and has been in the metaphysical world for over 30 years, here's a link to her blog: The New Humanity Is Now.
"In the most deepening meaning it was about our existence and the true treasure of being aware of it."
A special Thanks to Charol Messenger, you most definitely inspired me in many ways.
Afterwards I had a mini reading from Charol Messenger, and I had one particular question in mind, the reason I came back to Denver, the real reason...
As she gave the reading she talked about all the Spirits that were around me encouraging me, having my back on this very special mission. I was so moved I almost cried, but yet it wasn't about that.
She spoke of the intense energy and how warm my hands were, as she caught her breath she said she hadn't felt anything like that in a while.
She advised me to contact someone very connected in the Metaphysical World, .. Aurelia-Tara, so as to become reconnected with the Light-Worker and Holistic community.
This is what I truly wanted..
You see.. I started out as a Holistic and Soul nurturer.. Before I left Denver, I was an intern at a Xchel Healing Arts. I was learning many modalities. An interest I had for many years, in fact for over 2 decades.
As a young girl I always did feel connected and wanted to help my community, help people who are need of healing services, or offer some services of my own.
Back to my reason for sending this letter and reaching out..
This is about connecting with you all and letting you know that I am back in Denver to help promote the Metaphysical and Holistic World. When I left Colorado just a few years ago, my intention was to help promote my business.
But instead Spirit had something else in mind, ..
This is about you and giving back to all the Light-Workers that gave back to many. Helping Light-Workers, Healers, Holistic, Naturopaths, Hypnotherapist, Metaphysicians, anyone who is interested in improving the quality of life, and is a Soul Nurturer.
This is why I am sending this Special Event message out to you' , that for the first time in Denver at the Nic Nac Nook Metaphysical Book Store, there will be a very special guest speaker Chris Lang. He and I will be teaching about how to promote your business.

Why do I propose and share about consciousness and how it effects our well being?
I believe through awareness and getting to know ourselves is the beginning of change. As we start to understand ourselves we can better care for ourselves and it empowers us to have a better quality of life, body, mind and Spirit.
Why share Dr. John Hagelin PhD? Well I thought it would be better to share from a professor who specializes in particle physics, and who also shares the benefits of transcendental meditation.
According to Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John Hagelin
"Dr. John Hagelin PhD. is an American particle physicist, three-time candidate of the Natural Law Party for President of the United States (1992, 1996, and 2000), and the director of the Transcendental Meditation movement for the US.[2]
Hagelin was a researcher at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), and is now Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of Management. He has conducted research into unified field theory and the Maharishi Effect."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In summary, I have broken down Dr. John Hagelin's definitions of Unified field, Consciousness, Hidden sector matter and Transcendental Meditation.
My attempt was to bring forward the understanding of these important key elements and to roll it up to an definable statement of how it is key to our well being via the relationship of "Consciousness and the Unified Field".
Dr. John Hagelin explains so brilliantly, something so fantastic as the unified field and the relationship of consciousness via meditation.
Many scientist may not agree with his hypothesis.. But what if John Hagelin is correct? What if..
First we start with the Unified Field:
In the video below, John Hagelin explains: What is the unified field?
Unified Field in theory is at the bases of all the creation in the universe.
The ocean of existence is a bigger reality.. aka the Unified field.
The unified field is infinitely dynamic and non-material.
The unified field, you can call it a field of intelligence of pure abstract existence.
And it is self interacting with itself, Self aware.. of it's own existence.
And the dynamical self interacts leads to stage by stage the emergence of the universe.
Dr. John Hagelin also defines the unified field intelligence as:
It is the origin of the laws of nature.. it is the unified source of the diverse laws of nature,..governing the whole universe, at every level, and the laws of nature are the orderly intelligent principles governing the universe.
The laws of nature make the universe understandable.
The laws of nature are the intelligent principles governing the universe at every level.
The laws of nature make the universe predictable, intelligible, comprehensible
And if the unified field is the unified source, of all the laws of nature?
The compact concentrated source of all the laws of nature and all the order displayed through out the universe it must in some sense be the most concentrated field of intelligence in nature.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Second, Consciousness:
Dr. John Hagelin, goes into explaining, What is consciousness?
Awareness within.
Pure consciousness can be expanded into the infinite, into an inner universe.
What does Dr. John Hagelin mean about Consciousness.. he means awareness itself, awareness of the Self.
The fundamental subjectivity at the basis of the mind.
The Self, that which sees..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Third; Hidden Sector Matter:
Dr. John Hagelin speaks about the hidden sector world. Hidden sector world interacts with us through gravity although weakly should not be ignored.
Hidden Sector Matter is somehow connected to, Subtle bodies, astral bodies, are suggested that they actually exist.
Hidden sector matter creates bodies of a macroscopic size. and those macroscopic bodies cling to us electrostatically and they can also be separated from us.
And they provide very interesting properties which actually make it a thinking body possibly a useful tool, helper to the brain.
The brain may have help from hidden sector body (scale invariance, meaning size doesn't matter) can be a conduence, for a macroscopic thought, for a macroscopic brain, for appreciation and perception can link to a level of life that is much much smaller and much much deeper.
Hidden sector matter has the possibilitity of being relatied to thought.
Something created the action, the action of vehicle was or must of been hidden sector matter.
Transending scale, important element.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fourth; Transcendental Meditation:
Why is transcendental meditation so important? And what is it?
Attention is drawn deeply within.
Transcendental meditation is a technique that puts in you in a deep state of being. A deep state of relaxation and via inner quietness, stillness, silence.
Unified state of Consciousness, is the complete settling activity of the mind. Emphasizing on complete. Idling state of mind, a state of deep self awareness that is deeply universal within.
Dr. John Hagelin explains the relationship transcendence meditation has to health, in the sense of relieving stress and the benefits of what it does to your mind , brain, and body.
Very important:
Meditation takes a person to whole brain functioning.. Like the universe and the unified field and whole universe functioning.
Improvements through transcendence meditation, it increases well being, IQ intelligence.. benefits in emotional intelligence,and so on by developing and engaging the total whole brain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Summary roll up:
The structure of Consciousness mirroring the structure of the unified field suggests they could be one and the same.
The theory does bring up some important arguments as to Consciousness and the Unified Field connecting us all. And through meditation we can improve our quality of life, by being connected to our most inner Self.
In John Hagelin final closing statement is so profound:
"The simplest explanation is that these two unified fields one at the basis of human experience, one at the basis of everything else in nature that these two unified fields are one."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In closing:
And through all of this I find it so amazing, that we can become more connected to the Self. Meaning our real Self, that part of us that feels the connection with something. That part of us that is aware that we do experience existence. It allows us to become more familiar with ourselves. To get to truly know ourselves and not be reactive to the outside world, because in the most universal sense we are one and the same a part of the whole.
It allows us to have more compassion for ourselves as we go through life. It improves the quality of life, through the appreciation of knowing through this miracle of this particle Universe, you and I exist.
"To explore is to be boundless."
Being self aware can greatly increase and enrich our life experience. This video really touches on some interesting insights. And it triggered a memory for me, and perhaps it will for you too.
When I was a young child I was very much a loner and an introvert. I would visit my favorite park, and sit underneath this huge tree to be alone and just be. Here I would reflect on my own immortality and what life meant to me.
One day many years ago, I was very upset and played hookey from school, to upset to go to class.
So I did what was comfortable for me, and went to my park. I still visit this very same park to this day, and the tree is still standing. Wow, if that tree could talk.
My point here is... to focus on what life means to you. And how you can enhance your own life by living your life to the fullest. And to release yourself, from any self made barriers, by offering some insights into why we do the things that we do.
Here's a piece I wrote a few years back, it speaks about Consciousness shifting, which really means to become acutely self aware of of your own existence, as best as I can explain it.
And as we do become more aware of our own existence, and be in the moment, it is in that appreciation of the miracle of life, and truly feeling the aliveness within. That enriches our lives so much more.
Keeper of the Key (up for change)
Reflecting back into my life I often wondered why I felt it was impossible to live the life of my dreams. I was acutely aware of a force I was pushing up against, but I didn’t know how to get past it. It was as if my nose was pressed up against a clear glass window looking at what my life should be like.
And yet still I could see my own reflection, me looking back at myself, was this my answer? Could I be the one who was keeping me from opening myself to the life I wanted?
When I was in my twenties, I remember the big dreams I had, the things I wanted to accomplish and achieve. In my thirties my dreams became a little smaller, and in my forties, I asked myself what happened? Every year I would set a goal to manifest my desires only to find another year to pass with the same result.
The harder I tried the more resistance I would feel. Somehow I knew there had to be an answer, there had to be a way. Now in my mid-forties my dreams have come back and are larger than ever. I have the excitement to know my desires are possible to attain and to live. What changed? Consciousness Shifting!
When I start to feel that invisible pressure keeping me from my desires, I shift. I am aware, I am in the moment, I am present, I know that now is new. I’ve learned the power of “Consciously Shifting”.
I use my body as a compass and focus my awareness to where I’m feeling stimulation in my body. I’ve learned to notice if I am feeling some discomfort… of pressure in an area, to allow myself to be in the presence of that feeling. When I do this that hidden force seems to lose it’s power. I become clear.
And now…
My life is more open to new possibilities, I know I have the freedom to choose, to create and to be. I have an intuitive knowing that “I am” the creator as well as the created. There’s an expansive freedom to allowing myself to receive my hearts desire.
When I look back at who I was before and who I am now, I am so grateful for crossing paths with this modality. Imagine,..the power to consciously shift, to be able to clear myself of barriers holding me back. Had I not made this discovery I know I would still be pressing my nose up against that clear glass window, wishing for a different result.
Before consciousness shifting I allowed my limiting beliefs to keep me in a self made prison, wondering if I would ever be free. As I reflect back I know I had the key hidden in the grip of my hand all along,.. and as I am present I unfold my fingers,..look into my palm and I see the imprint of my very own key.
Keeper of the Key
In this video it truly explains well why we may live the way we do. And in being Self aware can really enhance our lives:)
When I think of these two concepts Power and Force, it makes so much sense to what David Hawkins was sharing in his book Power vs Force.
Although our ideas may differ, this is what my interpretation is as I read the book, and the insights I took away from it.
Coming from a place of power is a constant always being state. It is an universal constant of existence. It is the creation of everything. It is self emanating never to be deceased. It is the source that manifests life, self awareness and consciousness.
Force, is the pushing, going from one place to the other, and energy that overwhelms and wanes. It is the supply that can run out and be depleted. It is the controlled wanting to control an outcome.
Reading the Book Power vs Forces was an incredible experience. It really opens you up to possibilities that give you insight to how human behavior can work. About consciousness and how the different levels of it can create and influence our reality. What David Hawkins calls the "Map of Consciousness".
David Hawkins is brilliant in describing the idea about consciousness. What is it and how does it effect us. He also breaks it down into levels of consciousness. And how there are a small percentage of people who at higher levels of consciousness that can effect all of humanity.
One of the profound ways he shares is about muscle testing and finding out what the core essence of truth is. In his book he clarify's the importance of truth and how this can enhance your life.
When I first read it, I was blown away at the very thought of our own consciousness effecting our well being, and even effects someone else. How we are all connected as a species and as a whole among all that exists.
David Hawkins has a series of books that follows that explains even more about the hypothesis, of what consciousness is. He scales the levels of consciousness from the below 200's to the peak of 1000. In which 1000 is Christ Consciousness. Which really can go beyond into infinity.
In one example he writes about rational mind and how it can take you so far. This level of consciousness is in the 400's and it only can take you to a certain distance and that rational mind can be a barrier into itself. Don't get me wrong, minds are brilliant. They can describe and realize so many concepts, ideas, decipher, and have vast universal understanding of theories of life and our existence. They have the ability to think and create and to imagine. In this way they are limitless in and in another way they can be a boundary. It is most definitely is a paradox.
What David Hawkins suggests is..
That there is only so much the mind can understand and that unconditional Love can take you to another leap in consciousness to the 540's and above.
And that unconditional love, is something we have a kind of faith in that it is a kind of formless. If I can describe it, something deeper than feeling, a knowing. And with this we can start to effect life/consciousness with grace.
What I am describing only touches the surface of what this Power vs Force shares. It is one of those brilliant collections of pages that shares incredible stimulating thoughts of how we live our lives. Be it a life time of sleeping or becoming awaken by the power of knowing we are so much more. And that our lives have meaning, and when you become acutely aware of the existence of your own life. How shall you live it? You become more empowered into your own life, and you have a deeper understanding of who you are.
In this video David R Hawkins shares about his concepts of truth and how important it is...
