Today more than ever people are awakening to their natural talent of healer. This does not mean it is for you to put up a shingle and create a business and leave your current profession or job.
To be a healer is to be loving, present and listening to your part in the whole. Being of service is natural, without changing clothes like Superman. We are of service being us. Our presence heals wherever we are.
Each one of us is a tremendous light in the world. The veils of separation are lifting and we are finding wholeness and communion as separation disappears.
Many are taking classes and trainings in mind-body-spirit modalities. This is to heal you first and see where it takes you. Being more in our body and self allows us access to the divine truth of life and who we are and why we are here.
Healing is our lifestyle, one to be lived daily. It is a process of becoming, learning, correcting, making healing changes and being. Spotty attention offers spotty results. Learning to choose for us instead of against us is important.
It is a journey to be experienced day by day, year by year. There is no short cut, yet there is a straight path that takes you there more directly.
Letting go of old ways, roles and rules is required if we are going to follow this clear path to us, and new life.
Taking responsibility for you and your part helps many. As your talents and gifts awaken, allow the process and do not rush to make it something.
The ego self might get caught up in the outcome and defining purpose. Relax and allow the wisdom and knowledge to arise. Anxiousness brings forth misinformation and disconnection. Slow down, enjoy the awakening. We are all baby birds needing nourishment and support to encourage flight.
We are all in this together. Learn to discern and do not give your power away. There are healthy mentors who have walked this path who can help you make it through the jungle to the clearing ahead. Allow their wisdom to encourage, teach and heal you through your process.
The ego will be a know it all, and try to block you from going all the way. Being humble and open to learning and walking the path is important to break through illusion and blocks.
Love is the key that opens all of the doors. There is no room for fear, control or will to move the blocks out of the way. Surrender to more love and doorways melt open.
Love is healing and healing is love. Being more love, truth, beauty and light is what it is all about.
Live healing love and your life will transform and others around you will be healed as well.
Enjoy your journey as it unfolds,
Blessings and Love,
Janet StraightArrow

Janet brings the safe container and then we build upon it. By safe container I mean a safe place to explore your true self, cut out the illusion and discover who we really are.

Hello Fellow Travelers,
Summer is almost here and this week we are caught in the midst of major change with a full moon eclipse and Venus moving across the Sun. Awake awake it is time to be who you are and live your beautiful truth. Please enjoy the articles below and the quotes from my daily Facebook offerings to support change. The soul mate article came from questions people ask. Please feel free to reach out to me with questions and I will answer in an article next month.
In June and July there are many opportunities to enjoy a mini-class in several new locations, an energy medicine training or prepare for a Vision Quest Retreat at the end of July in the Hudson Valley.
I am also working on publishing my first book and putting recordings out for ongoing inspiration, growth and healing.
It has been a long time of deep refining of the work and practices to prepare for this year and beyond as we continue to move more deeply into an integrated life of wholeness.
The fall schedule is still evolving and will be out soon. There will be more retreats and fewer local classes as time goes on.
Blessings, Good Health, Great Joy and New Love,
Janet StraightArrow |

CREATING A NEW LIFE A NEW WORLD EVOLVING |
Change is occurring ready or not! Today many people are losing the way of life they always had or imagined possible. Homes, retirement, savings, jobs, government, corporations, religion and relationships and much more are all in flux and unsure.
When this occurs we lose the self that we were depending on; those crutches of people, position and place. It throws us in a tizzy and creates depression, anxiety and physical symptoms.
Life is not what we wanted it to be, or thought it was. A new world appears and we have to let go of the past and find a new life and future.
It is scary and uncertain, if we let ourselves stay attached to the past. Our sense of identity has been lost in significant ways and now we have to find a new foundation to build upon.
The best security is in the self. You are always here and inner resources can be drawn on no matter what or where or how.
Learning to go inside instead of out for support is important. First you must clean house and remove blocks, excess baggage and expectations.
Life is new, outside of the old box of you, and it takes some deep work and play to find a new way.
You heard me right – play. To move out of fear of limitation and direction we must play with possibilities. Play is free and open and curious. Play is courageous and innocent, full of trust and fearlessness.
Go for it, is a motto that helps us move forward through old barriers and thoughts and fear.
When stuck… its good to just move in any direction that feels most aligned and find out where it takes us.
We cannot know what is beyond a box until we get there. If here is trapping you, and making you feel hopeless, it’s important to find something that opens you to your next direction and purpose.
Taking drugs or substances to make you feel better, does not heal inertia or fear, they may even feed it.
To be free to be, and make significant changes, it is important to build up the self and let the sun in.
Who you thought you were is gone, so now its time to know who you are from a deep inner place.
Opening to all possibilities can be frightening at once. The human can be very comfortable in our limited boxes and dreams.
Security in this new world is not built on the beliefs and expectations of the old world.
Life is as you make it, more than ever, and we can become very good at being co-creators in every arena.
Being a co-creator puts you in the drivers seat with co-pilots that support you. People from your family or your past may try to hold you back to stay safe, in their mind.
You making changes, challenges their reality and may pull them out of their boxes so they try to keep you hitched to theirs in hope that things will go back to the way they were and make them comfortable again.
Many people who have left a marriage or a job or a family of origin, say that their life depended on that change in circumstance.
It is time to move forward and find your new direction, course correction and new ways to be you.
Be brave, have fun, ask for help of a higher source and inner strength, and stay free to be.
Enjoy the journey,
Janet StraightArrow

SOUL MATES - LOVE AND FUN - MARRIAGE? |
In this time of awakening, people are trying to figure out what to do with feelings of deep connection and attraction that they are feeling for others. It is important to sit back a bit and be an observer before jumping in, or trying to make someone fit an idea or ideal. Be present to the gift of connection offered and be curious about the connection.
Many of our deep connections to people are soul connections, but not people to jump into bed with or have intimate relationships with or marry. Over many years I have been honored to meet many soul mates who were many things to me in my life, but not an appropriate long-term partner.
Some became intimate and some not. Both were appropriate. All were honored so that we can stay connected in ways that are correct. Boundaries are important when you have such powerful connections and energy charge between you.
Sometimes they will be long-term partners you meet suddenly and stay with. Often it is something different and if you are confused it is good to stay as neutral as you can and figure it out.
Many people have led a single life through the changes of the past decade, which was appropriate to go deep inside and awaken and heal. These people may now be anxious for a partner. Do not rush headlong into anything.
Allow the evolvement to occur. So many layers of who we are, are opening and it is good to see people for who they are to us and us to them in this process without trying to partner, marry or become romantic when that may nor be your purpose now.
I have had many people set off deep and electric connections in me. Being a student of astrology I look up our birth charts and see the connections and understand them. I see where the planets connect and go Ha Cha Cha, and yet for us it is a sizzle that sparks other things in us together, and separately. I have been confused and stepped back and realized there is another purpose of friends on the path, that is more correct than partners or lovers.
People have purpose in our lives and ours in theirs. If there is more, it will evolve naturally and you both will feel it and know it. Do not force anything that does not want to be.
Are there soul mates who are people who have been waiting to be together here now as partners? Yes. Allow them to come to you as they do. Learn to be careful in all of your relationships, and see who and what they mean now. Past life connections are not guaranteed great opportunities. Be with the people you are with and see where it goes.
I have delicious friends who I am glad we never became lovers. Our friendships are loving and deep, and to have them on the journey with me is a gift that keeps on giving. If we had crossed the line we may not have this opportunity for long-term connection, support, love and fun together.
I love many people and am sure some have been with me before. Its so rewarding to step back, and see and feel the correctness of the connection. Some people mess up their lives following electricity and emotional connections and get involved in ways that are not aligned and good for you.
Love you and all enough to take your time and enjoy what is and live and learn and love. Let go of what is not correct and allow the best to be.
Begin by being a soul mate to you. Get to know who you are, what you want and what is aligned with your higher purpose. Live your truth and allow the lessons and love to unfold in you as the world matches you with what you need.
Enjoy the Journey,
Janet StraightArrow

IS THIS THE YEAR YOU QUEST FOR A VISION? 7/22-28 HUDSON VALLEY, NY |
WHY VISION QUEST IN NATURE AND HOW CAN THIS BENEFIT ME NOW?
A person goes on a planned Vision Quest to honor and deepen their life and personal journey. The purpose of a Vision Quest is to see and face you, and have time and space to pull away from the world and normal activities to call for a vision for the rest of your life and hear yourself speak.
With no one else, or daily places and responsibilities to distract us, we can easily let go and be. Our fellow travelers are each on their own journey in community and will mirror you as a support to learn to go deeper at times.
After many vision quests, I still long for the simplicity of living in the woods without electricity, plumbing, appliances and electronic devices. Living in tents and later under the stars, gives us direct connection to life.
Meditation and Shamanic Journey and other practices, as well as paying attention and learning to find significance in symbols in nature help us to become centered and clear.
I love comfort, so my quests have been deep, private, safe and in sacred places that are close enough and far enough away. Creating a sacred space is what people will learn to do for themselves. That space is inside you, and all of our work to prepare is to help you find and explore that inner space and find answers and truth for you.
A Vision Quest is a death to the life you have lived and a rebirth of you in more true and aligned ways. This week will take you through this process and assist you along the way. Taking a week out of your life to show up at the quest is significant in your dedication to yourself.
To stop eating for a few days, allows this letting go process go deeper. Water keeps your body functioning and so does air, sun, nature and earth. When we release our attachment to food, we then focus on ourselves. Our mind and body become light and there is no worry about what you will eat, or when, or how to prepare it or buy it. You have twenty-four hours a day to go inside and listen and learn to focus on you.
We work with practices that take us inside and work through our stories and let them go, to find a more peaceful story of freedom to be us. Being in nature allows us to reconnect to our own nature and the cycles of life in direct ways.
Every moment is precious and we experience this particularly during our mid-week fast in our own sacred spot. Twenty-four hours with nothing to distract us is a very long time. True being unfolds and you begin to realize what you do to waste time each day with thoughts, activities and unnecessary focus.
Each person has their own issues to face and heal. Our group process work will take you into a deep space with clarity and grace. My intention offered is for you to experience, appreciate and love you, and enjoy the ride.
My life purpose is to help people learn to Be The Medicine, Live the Power of You! This quest is one of the deepest experiences for you to move into you and bring back profound experiences and inner wisdom and visions to play out for the remainder of your earth walk.
I am called to offer a quest this year, 2012 in the Hudson Valley, NY at gorgeous Shanti Mandir Ashram property that has lovely hills and woods and a bubbling brook and a mountain lake. Located between the Hudson and Wallkill Rivers close to the intersection of Rt. 84 and the NY Thruway, Rt. 87. It is private, sacred and natural and yet easy to find and close to major airports and trains and buses.
Dates are July 22-28, Sunday to Saturday. Preparation begins when you sign up with regular support. Follow up is included. $775 includes donation for property, food, preparation, and weeklong quest and follow up. The group is gathering, reserve your place today and the Quest begins.
My life is an ongoing Vision Quest and it is my honor and privilege to offer this for you.
Blessings, Janet StraightArrow

Today StraightArrow brings us Toltec tools and wisdom and powerful energy in simple profound ways to help us find freedom and live the truth of who we are each moment. Be ready to have fun as you challenge the illusions and consciousness of what has held you back to break free and be. Janet StraightArrow has been a practicing Shaman for twenty years.
