First Line of Defense – the Aura!

Posted on by

The Body has Several Energy Systems…

Scientists are discovering more and more about the energy systems of the body and how they contribute to our overall health and well being. This first in a series, Auras!

 

Let’s discuss… the Aura!

1000x1000_4f5678b00a42c

 

A vibrant Aura can fill a room. When the Aura is vibrant, we feel happy, joyful and confident. When our Auras are in need of repair, we may feel dark, burdened, like we don’t want to be around anyone, unhappy or even depressed. A simplistic explanation, true…

How Can a Vibrant, Clean and Clear Aura Make a Difference?

We actually feel the auras of others when in the room together. When the aura is clean and clear, positive experiences and people with vibrant auras are attracted to us. Stress is not as evident or detrimental. Confidence is strong and it is easy to be compassionate.

Have you ever felt you were on the top of your game with everything going your way? When your aura is vibrant, this is one result!

In a session, the aura is always addressed. Some clients actually feel it when we clear their auras! This is so fun!!! Of course, everyone’s experience is not the same… but the results are what’s important!

 

Here’s a Great Exercise…

Place your hands to the left of your body towards the ground. Now pretend you are fluffing packing peanuts. While doing this movement bring your hands up the left side of your body and over the top of your head, and move to the right side of your body all the way down to the floor again. Now grasp that imaginary zipper between your feet and “zip up” to the top of your head. You have fluffed and zipped your aura. By doing so you are protected. You can perform this when ever you feel uncertain or uncomfortable. Many people do this and other energetic exercises in the morning as they are preparing for the day.

 

Some Closing Thoughts…

Did you know that some people actually have the gift of being able to see the auras around people? Some auras are colorful and some are white… and on the opposite side of the spectrum, some can be very dark, too, when intentions are not pure. I enjoy hearing when my clients can see the auras of others. What a wonderful gift!

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!

A Very Special Day!

Today my husband and I celebrate our 38th wedding anniversary! So I posted on Facebook today:  “Happy anniversary, Sweetheart. You are my very best friend. You give me strength and light. Thank you for your love, devotion, and support in all the things I choose to do. I love you with all my heart!” But that doesn’t really say much in my opinion. So I thought I would share today all the ways my dear husband enriches my life…

Hobbies, hobbies, HOBBIES!

I used to dread it when he would find he was interested in another hobby. But later I came to realize that his “hobbies” were how he was creating his life. For example, Photography. He has moved in and out of this hobby many times… I think I love this hobby more than any of the other hobbies! We have wonderful pictures of our family and I love using his creative eye in marketing materials! Recently he has taken some classes from experts that have sharpened his skill and have fascinated even me, a non-photographer!

There was a time when he put photography on hold because he felt when ever we went on vacation, he saw the entire vacation through the lens of a camera instead of in person! Truth be told, I could sympathize with him on that, but he has taken so many wonderful pictures that we cherish that I am grateful that he did view so many vacations through the lens of a camera!

Other of his hobbies have included Kung Fu San Soo, remote controlled airplanes, duel line kites, Lindyhop swing dancing, guitar,ukulele and more. I’m grateful I finally realized that his hobbies have blessed my life!

Our life has been blessed with the association of Grand Master Ted Sias, who is currently teaching Kung Fu San Soo to the 3rd generation in our family! We have enjoyed cultivating so many friendships through dancing and ukulele, too.

Our life together has truly been a rich experience because of Geoff’s desire to do so many things! I’m pretty content with moving on day to day. But had it not been for Geoff’s desires, I would have never seen, done and enjoyed so much! Thank you dear Sweetheart for many wonderful memories!

 

Deep Gratitude…

But most of all my life has been blessed with this kind, gentle man who loves me unconditionally and is a constant inspiration to me to be a better person. I love you, Sweetheart!

First Day of School… Good Bye Summer!

OK, so I’m a grandmother now, and not the mother of the “littles” living in my home… but this year seemed to bring some anxiety in me for the first day of school.Boys 1st day 3rd grade As an energy practitioner, I paid close attention to these feelings and focused on clearing what was coming up. For some reason I felt like I was clinging onto Summer – an emotion I have not had in a very long time… I LOVE Fall!!! It’s seriously my favorite time of year, so I hope I’ve cleared all that was coming up to clear. All I can say is when I have a lot of emotions surface to clear, I feel it’s an indication that there are really good things coming!

This picture is descriptive of how difficult it is for Gavin to take pictures in the bright sun… however, it should be noted that these boys were VERY excited to begin the new school year! Gavin set out his wardrobe for the entire week yesterday – SO CUTE!

 

Some Summer Memories…

memories of swimming

 

I’m so grateful that a dear friend shared her pool with us! It was absolutely wonderful to get to swim when ever we wanted to! memories 2

 

 

 

It was fun to see what good swimmers these boys are. I also got to witness again how supportive they are of one another. Alex said to me, “Grandma, you are the best grandma!” Priceless…

Plus, this year has been a HIKING Summer! What fun we had hiking!!! My daughter is actually traveling to hike Mt. Whitney as I write this post. We actually just tagged along during her training, but it was a blast. The boys also got to hike Baldy and sleep under the stars with their mom and friends.

These pictures were taken on a hike at El Moro Canyon in Laguna Beach where there are steep hills to climb and views of the ocean! There’s just something wonderful about being outside in nature. It makes my heart sing to see my grandsons enjoying nature as much as I do.

 

Moving Forward

The ride does not end here. Though Summer is but a memory, we continue to move forward. When those emotions that get stuck are ready to release, we are grateful for the simple process of the SimplyHealed Method® and for the amazing things that can be accomplished utilizing this lightning fast method. Happy Fall my friends!

 

A Leisurely Summer Hike

Is there really such thing as a leisurely hike?

So I just want you to know that I’m laughing as I’m creating this blog post!!! You see, there are just so many things to laugh about…

Here is a picture of me a year ago at El Moro Canyon State Park in Laguna Beach, CA. Notice the hat falling into my eyes… now that’s laughable!

El Moro 2012

El Moro 2012

In this picture, it was a pleasant temperature for a hike… we spent about an hour hiking. It was a lovely time. But today is AUGUST! It’s much warmer than in the Spring. We anticipated it being warm, so we were hiking by 8:30 AM. It was wonderful to be there with friends and family, enjoying the occasional cool canyon breeze and the sounds of nature.

What I learned from this hike…

OK, so it needs to be mentioned that at times, living with an athletic powerhouse of a daughter can have its advantages. One, I have a personal trainer in my home – way cool. However, the downside is I see her more than I see myself in the mirror, so I often forget my age and abilities. This is especially challenging when shopping for clothes, but that’s another blog post! So, I’ve learned…

  1. I really am 57 years old not 27, definitely not my daughter’s age, and must remember to condition for a 2 hour hike in the heat.
  2. Children are responsible for carrying their own water, and desired backpacks, sticks or other paraphernalia. What this means is Grandma is not your pack mule for your water, sticks and beloved rocks you want to bring back home. And don’t try to sneak your rocks into the backpack Grandma didn’t bring but is now wearing. Oh, and your water… when you get to the end of the trail and realize Grandma has your water (mainly because you didn’t want to carry it) and is still 500 feet behind you, please be patient when she arrives and needs water herself before she takes off your pack.
  3. Though I consider myself to be physically fit because I enjoy running for 30 minutes a few times each week, that doesn’t mean I’m in shape to run up and down hills or pull little kids up hills when they refuse to go any further.
  4. Gratitude statements and power poses really WORK to get you up the next hill!
  5. I am still capable of pushing myself in difficult situations, and still able to use wisdom to act when I see a short cut to the finish!

I’m sure there is so much more that I learned, but I’m exhausted and ready for a nap! I would just like to thank Marisa Liu for being a supportive hiking buddy. I couldn’t have made it without you!!!

About Loretta

DSC_0004As a grandmother of 6 fabulous grandsons, I like to keep myself in good physical condition to be able to enjoy being active with them when ever the occasion arises. I believe in eating well and exercising often to insure a better quality of life as I age. I am grateful for the support of my wonderful husband in all my endeavors.

 

You Have A Choice!

Posted on by

Choose what you want to happen in your life…

I’m sure you’ve heard may people say this… including me. In my practice I have been blessed to witness many of my clients’ successes in creating lives different from the path they had been on prior to energy sessions.

Make a conscious choice

In a session, we use many techniques to assist you in creating the life path you desire. One of those tools is creating a manifestation list. Here’s a prior post regarding this Create Your Life Utilizing Manifestation Lists! The important part is that you begin! Begin today! I know I’ve mentioned this before. It’s just so important. Life is much more rewarding when you participate in a direct way.

An example of one person’s pursuit…

 

As you view this beautiful music video, think of all the components. There are many people involved with the production of this video who are living their dream. All of them together created something truly lovely and touching. Normally I wouldn’t have gotten to view this beautiful music video, however, their is a certain person in this video that I care very deeply for. She has been pursuing her dreams for a long time and has succeeded because she is driven to succeed. This has been her choice. Did you see the aerial acrobat in the video? There are very brief clips of her beautifully graceful movements as she is suspended in the air, intertwined in fabric or tissu as it is referred to. She has spent years honing her ability to gracefully move through the air wrapped in tissu, and utilizing muscle groups toned to perfection. That acrobat is my daughter. Not only has she worked to be able to perform, but she has worked to create a business where she also teaches and is paid for professional performances.

What is your dream?

What is it that is keeping you from obtaining your dream? Are you truly living your dream? Does it look the way you had hoped with all the components in place? If so, congratulations! If not, treat yourself to some energy work. It’s truly amazing how fears can melt away, clarity and focus can be achieved and a new life path may be obtained! Don’t allow any more time to pass by without you doing something to move toward an existence that is waiting for your permission to become a reality!

Allow me to share…

DSC_0004I was conducting a private group call recently where I had opened up the lines in the event someone had anything they wanted me to check on. One lady came forward not to ask for me to check on something, but to reassure the others on the call that this therapy works in miraculous ways! It brought a tear to my eye and my heart filled with gratitude that she had received the shift we worked for.
