Your Intuitive Self
Barbara

Hello Dear Ones,
I know that spring is here because the tulips are up in the garden. We have gone back and forth with the weather and temperatures, so that it can be confusing to determine what you should be wearing before you leave the house each day. Instead of trusting the weather report I have learned to trust my intuition... especially on weather conditions.  I just tune in or imagine what the day is going to be like and so far I found myself to be more consistent than the local weather reporter. Using your Intuition instead of always trusting an outside authority is both fun and empowering.
Every year when I take a group to Hawaii we always include a Sacred Shopping trip in the agenda. Everyone seems to find this an amusing way to describe shopping, but if we spend our money consciously it is a sacred experience. The gifts you take home become a sacred honouring of those who were not able to make the trip with you. I do my best to shop in places where the products are brought in by a conscious shop owner and I feel I am getting full value for my dollar. I use my intuition when it comes to shopping and spend a lot less time going from store to store looking for what I want. As I pass a store that might have the product I am looking for… I tune into my body. If I get a sense of pleasure or excitement, I follow that feeling right into the store. If I feel nothing or repulsion, I keep on going.
 Intuition is a perception or understanding of truth beyond and logical explanation or reason. While it is a function of our consciousness acting through our mind, through the subconscious and conscious levels of awareness, it comes from a deeper source than the mind. In my perception it is a language of the Soul and Spirit which help us to access insight and understanding beyond the busy analytical linear function of the mind.
Intuition can become a normal and empowering way navigate effectively through  life. The more you follow it, the stronger it becomes. We are all intuitive; we were born with natural perceptions beyond the 5 senses. Unfortunately many of us have come to accept the five senses as the only way to perceive reality. The Intuitive steps beyond the three dimensional world and the 5 senses realizing that Spirit is in communication with us at all times. When we move beyond the five sensory way of experiencing the world we are able to communicate with all things and all levels of consciousness. The task is to learn how to tune into the particular channel you wish to pay attention to.
So if you are doubting me when I say, “We are all intuitive… “ I now ask you these questions; “Have you ever just known something without anything logical or tangible to back it up? Have you ever had a strong gut feeling that went against common sense? “ or “Have you ever just known that something was going to happen and it did?” If you have, you are already demonstrating the gifts of an intuitive.These are precious gifts that need to be nurtured honoured and fed with our attention and our willingness to act upon the information we receive.

In understanding how the conscious and the subconscious mind work, it will be helpful for you to have some tools to understand how your intuition communicates and what is previously programmed information. The subconscious communicates in images and symbols.  What we focus on leaves impressions upon the mind as instructions. Therefore it is important to understand that the only limitations we have are imposed upon the mind by our unconscious thoughts, beliefs and perceptions. Yes, that is correct, by allowing our unconscious thoughts to run the show we allow our focus to program our mind and keep us in a state of limited perception. These perceptions and beliefs are often dictated by society to ensure that we conform to the group mind.
Without an understanding of the function of the subconscious it may be difficult to connect clearly with intuitive perception. Intuition also communicates in images and symbols, but it is not limited and does not impose rules or beliefs upon us. It does not tell us what we should or should not do. “Shoulds” come from the unconscious programs which manifest as ego.
Many of my students ask how they can discern weather the information they receive is just wishful thinking or the truth of Spirit. Unless you are able to discern intuitive knowing from the restrictions of your unconscious programming you may find yourself lost in a sea of “shoulds” and programmed ego based ideas.
The number one key I teach my Intuition students is how to still the mind. We need to be able to center ourselves and listen.  This time of year is a wonderful time to practice sitting in nature, stilling the mind and allowing ourselves to become aware of the elements… the trees, the grass, the flowers, the earth, water, sky, birds, insects and animals. Yes, that is really how big you are. If you still the mind you can tune into all of this simultaneously.  Just allow yourself to feel without judgement or the need to analyze it. Whew! Think you can do it. Try it!

*Barbara will begin teaching six week Intutive development  classes online through a weekly Skype connection in the fall of 2009. More details will posted on the website this summer.

Axiatonal Alignment New Moon Sessions
Reconnection to Source

As I navigate on my spiritual journey I have learned to apply my Intuitive tools and discernment to assist me on my path. Because I have chosen a path of service and healing, Spirit speaks to me loud and clear when there is something new I need to learn to move me along the path. I have been working with sacred geometry in both my paintings and healing sessions for six years now. This winter I received unrelenting guidance to take something called “Axiatonal Alignment”. I paid attention and soon the teacher appeared.
I was grateful to find two different knowledgeable and dedicated teachers. I took training with both of them on two separate occassions to be sure I felt grounded with the work. I was delighted to learn that I was already using the configurations in my spiritually guided "Crystal Awakening" sessions. It is also similar to the way my shaman guide showed me how to use the cedar and crystal wand I brought back from British Columbia in 2005. In a vision he showed me how to activate the spin points around the physical body. These are the same physical spin points we activate in the first pass in an Axiatonal Alignment session. While I wasn’t entirely sure of what I was doing I allowed him to guide me and found the energetic effects to be quite powerful.
In learning and practicing Axiatonal Alignment, I have discovered it is Over Lite and guided by a very specific, high vibration of loving beings, who is devoted to our human evolution. It is not a system to be played with, misdirected or misunderstood. If any of these things begin to occur it will simply be removed from our consciousness and we will be on to the next thing. Unfortunately this means that we move on having missed the whole essence, significance and gift of Axiatonal Alignment. But that is just the way it is. The spiritual overseers will not allow it to be misused nor reinterpreted because it is exact and pure in the way it was originally delivered to us.
Axiatonal Alignment assists us to reconnect to Source. There are Axiatonal Lines throughout the Universe, the Galaxies, the Solar System, our Planet and our bodies. These Axiatonal Lines connect all things with Divinity and these lines follow the Chinese Meridian Lines but at a deeper level. At one point in time, we humans chose to separate from our Divine Source. This damaged the Axiatonal Lines, which prevented us from reconnecting to our Divine Source. Axiatonal Alignment assists us to remember our connection, and to re-establish it.
 Axiatonal Alignment is a short (from 10 to 20 minutes) table treatment that involves three passes down the body. During each pass the practitioner will lightly touch the client at specific points on their body. These points, when put together, will trace out forms of sacred geometry.
 
Because we are individual we often have different experiences with an Axiatonal Alignment session. Some recipients experience deep relaxation, an increase in focus and clarity, motivation, improved concentration, a sense of balance and/or more vivid dreams. You may find that the answers to your questions arrive in dreams or memory flashbacks. You may feel more in the flow, recognizing more synchronicity and allowing.

Moon Axiatonal Alignment Sessions
As we enter into each new 28 day cycle my Axiatonal Alignment teacher finds that the new moon is a perfect to do an Axiatonal Alignment session. I have decided to follow in her tradition.

If you would like to learn how to do the sessions for yourself and others, Barbara will be teaching Axiatonal Alignment for practitioners on May 26 and 27 from 6:30 to 9:30 each evening. This is a wonderful gift to be able to offer. It is simple and can be easily incorporated into your Reiki Practice.

We still have a few spaces in this class and will be scheduling it again sometime in the fall.

Love Heals
Releasing Fear

I was recently sent this inspiring information. I have been working with it and have found it to be extremely effective. I am passing it on to my readers with the intention you will receive the same value I have received from it. Many thanks to Lakshmi Angel for sending this to me. It is such a beautiful way to create more space in your heart. My intention is to live in my heart. In order to live in the heart... there must be enough room. 

SECRET OF CHANGING YOUR WORLD-
In The Comfort Of Your Own Privacy

Surrendering Fearful Thoughts
Using the "Powerful Tool to Enhance Life"

We must recognize and understand the Universal Truth. Only YOU are accountable for the many experiences and situations that has happen in your Life...be it good or bad. We attract what we focus on most. The more energy we put into the thought…faster the manifestation. Your thought pattern determines your Life.

When an undesired situation occurs that brings out the worst fears in us (i.e. anger, frustration, sadness, humiliation etc.)…How do we change it? For instance, you and your spouse had an argument and are not in talking terms for 2 weeks. How do you self-heal or surrender your fearful thoughts or emotions to mend the relationship?

One of the simplest methods is to use the "Powerful Tool to Enhance Life".

This self-heal method can be used to improve and strengthen your relationship with anyone (i.e. your clients, boss, subordinates, spouse, parents, children, friends, adversaries etc.) Remember…you attracted this situation based on your own thought patterns (mind) so you have to surrender it for the situation to change. It has nothing got to do with the other person.
