Always hug heart to heart!
I was at a healing course on Saturday at Mindful Matters in Mississauga, Ontario, and something interesting. I learned that you can affect yourself and others negatively by closing yourself off and hugging someone with your head to the left of the other person resulting in your hearts being out of alignment. People instinctively do this to protect themselves from opening up to others.
They even demonstrated using muscle testing how your body can be affected. I held out my arm and resisted them pushing down on it with no problem before hugging someone the "wrong" way, and after I could no longer resist a push indicating that there was a negative affect on my body.
The best way to stay open and connected when hugging someone is by hugging them heart to heart; with your head to the right of the other person while facing them.
Happy hugging!

Free Will vs Destiny
If you believe in destiny, then it is difficult to take responsibility for your own life. At the same time, if there is no destiny, how is it that we have a soul plan, and why do so many things in our lives feel like they are beyond our control?
Michael Newton, the author of, "Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives", addresses in his book how we have both free will and a destiny. Mr. Newton states that most people do not realize that, "destiny represents the sum of our deeds over thousands of years in a multitude of incarnations".
In each life we have a freedom of choice. In between lives, we create soul plans to learn certain lessons based on what we need to evolve. We choose our body, the significant people in our lives, and significant life events; all based on the probability of particular learning situations arising. Who we are, and the life we designed - our destiny, is all based on our soul's decisions made in this life, past lives, and in between lives.
Understand that it is important to recognize that you are responsible for your own life, and your life experiences are the result of your own actions and decisions - just not all from this life. Hopefully this realization will empower people to take responsibility to learn their lessons, heal, and evolve - our ultimate life purpose.

Is there Good and Evil?
If you believe that we are all here to evolve through many lives (reincarnation) and experience the full range of possibilities while we physically exist, it would be difficult to label someone or something as "evil" since you need the darkness to see the light and evolve. However, I believe there are beings who exist a low frequencies who's sole motivation is to manipulate and hurt others for their own interests. I believe that some beings even lead people away from their life purposes so it takes them longer to evolve. Some people believe that these beings thrive off of lower frequencies which is their motivation for causing suffering.
Does that mean these beings are evil? Perhaps. Even if they are evil, could it be that it is it part of our natural, collective evolution to experience low frequencies and ascend?
I believe we are evolving collectively to higher vibrational frequencies, which essentially brings us away from separateness and fear, to oneness (love) and peace; from the duality of good and evil to the oneness from which we came. In cultures with Buddhist spiritual influence, both good and evil are perceived as part of an antagonistic duality that itself must be overcome through achieving Śūnyatā, meaning emptiness in the sense of recognition of good and evil being two opposing principles but not a reality, emptying the duality of them, and achieving a oneness.[1]
So I do not believe that it is wrong that there has been evil/suffering/fear because it served its purpose in our evolution. However, I believe it is time that we collectively choose to evolve past polarity for the highest and best of all involved.
How do we do that? We enlighten people to help them to discover their own truth, and empower others to encourage them to achieve their highest and best. We can work together to accelerate our ascension, reduce suffering, and be in peace.

Past Life Regressions and Soul Fragments
I have had a few past life regressions now. Even though my experiences resonate with me, I still have doubts as to whether they are actually past lives I had, or just symbols of current life challenges. Regardless, I believe that having a past life regression is helpful, even if just to symbolically become aware of, understand, and clear current issues - especially recurring life lessons.
If it is true, I have had past lives as a fish on another planet, I was a Crystal Architect in Atlantis (at the end of Atlantis), a not very nice male thousands of years ago, and I had a couple of lives as a poor female in Europe (once by myself) prior to this life.
The following is what I experienced during my most recent past life regression, which was a group past life regression. At the beginning, we were taken up through our chakras at which point, my late Aunt came and helped me to understand an energy block I have in my throat chakra. I even started to cough, which I tried not to do because I was in a group. I was told that there is a block in my throat because I was denying who I truly was. There was a shoe in my throat which represented to me how awkward I felt about myself. I was told to turn it into a blue rose and "know my greatness". At the time, I thought this was just a side message for me.
As the regression began, I started to see two past lives at the same time, which was new to me. The first life was the most vivid. I looked down and saw simple leather sandals on male feet. I was wearing loose beige clothes/robes, I had a cane, had a long, grey beard, and I was holding a feather quill (which was apparently not used until 6th century A.D.). I was very tired and was sitting in a kitchen chair in a simple building. I saw my grandson and my daughter (now my best friend) gave me some meat and some pita type bread and was telling me to "eat Father!" in what I think was Greek. I felt I was in Greece or Italy by the ocean on perhaps an olive farm. I asked what my name was and got Pythagoras and the timing was a few hundred years B.C.
As a side note, I had an akashic record reading recently which said I was here to finish what I started in Greece, so part of me wonders if I created this story. I was not very familiar with Pythagoras other than his famous hypotenuse formula. However, I was intrigued to discover that he was a mystic when I researched him after my regression. He also lived in Italy for the later part of his life.
I do have an affinity for Italy and the Italian language. When I visited Italy in 2002, I felt like I was going home. The parallel life I saw was of Leonardo da Vinci in the 1500s in Italy. I felt like I died in that life from Tuberculosis (I was coughing blood). It is unknown what caused Leonardo da Vinci's death.
I admired Leonardo da Vinci growing up so I again wondered if I was making it up. However, I also discovered that Leonardo studied sacred geometry.
Apparently in these two past lives and in my current life, there is a reluctance to teach others and I am worried about what others will think. In my research, the followers of Pythagoras were all killed and Leonardo belonged to a secret society.
At the end, I gave a blue rose to myself in all three lives representing confidence in myself and to have faith in the positive impact I can have on others.
I have attempted to validate the above and received another past life in Greece in the 1600's as a very religious female who could not have children but had psychic visions. Also, I was likely a monk in a past life which also resonates with me. As far as I understand, the purpose of monks is to hold the energy/light for a community.
I asked a close friend who is a psychic medium and she got that I am able to fragment my soul three ways. I believe that everyone at least leaves one part of their soul behind when they incarnate, but apparently, I can split my soul into three fragments. This actually did not surprise me because I had a dream as a child of a parallel life of an older girl that lasted for about a year. There are certainly times when I wish I brought more soul energy with me into this life.
What my friend said was that I was not Pythagoras or Leonardo da Vinci directly, but I experienced their lives as a soul fragment - almost like a channelled being that was a part of those individuals. This is why I had doubts about being those people because I was only a part of them. I suppose it would be like me being part of that other girl's life in my dream as a child.
In the end, it does not really matter if I was Pythagoras or Da Vinci. The message (which applies to everyone) is that I have a lot of potential and I should not underestimate myself.

We can learn the hard way or the easy way...
I hope to be alive to see our world move from a reactionary culture to a preventative one where we cooperate to have a healthy, safe, sustainable, and thriving planet.
Let's invest our time, energy and money into education, innovation, creativity, managing our limited resources, being there for each other, preventing diseases, and preventing human caused environmental disasters.
Further, I believe that each individual needs to not only make a positive difference in their own sphere of influence - in their families, organizations, and communities - but it is also important to network to make sure there are no holes in the web - so nothing, or no one, falls through the cracks so to speak.
We are all connected and are much stronger when we work together.
As long as we continue to incarnate into bodies to evolve, there will be suffering as many souls choose lives of suffering to evolve - to learn their life lessons. However, I believe we can minimize needless suffering by evolving as a planet away from duality (including separateness and selfishness) back towards the oneness we came from. We can either learn the hard way, or the easy way through a greater awareness and support from one another.
As an analogy, you can learn to walk much faster if you have something, or someone, to hold onto until you have the strength and coordination to do it yourself. You will likely still fall once you let go, but you will learn much faster, and with less suffering, with support from others.

We are in Spiritual Kindergarten
"The world is a kind of spiritual kindergarten where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell "God" with the wrong blocks." - Edwin Arlington Robinson
"If the Creator is infinite, then the Creator is also infinitely patient, and I think that farsightedness and patience is at the root of why the Creator seems cruel. Those who protest the cruel-seeming Creator risk being like children who can't think with far enough a view like parents, and so if parents let a child fall off his bike instead of always being there, it's to make him a better bicyclist. All the child sees is abandonment." - Montalk

Healthy and Safe Communities through Community Mobilization and Development
From 2007 to 2011, I was Chair of the Peel Youth Violence Prevention Network, Community Development Working Group (PYVPN-CDWG). Before that I was Chair of the Meadowvale Community Partnership (MCP) for 10 years. You can see an overview of my volunteer work on my resume.
Even though I stopped volunteering when I had my son, it is nice to see positive results today from some of my efforts. In 2010, when I was Chair of the PYVPN-CDWG, I provided a letter of support to continue Parents Reaching Out (PRO) Grants in Ontario public schools.
In 2010-2011, Toronto District School Board model schools, which accessed PRO grants for the first time, had literacy scores shoot up in 13 high schools (ref: Fraser Institute 2012 Report Card for Ontario Schools).
The "March 2012 Crime Prevention Ontario: A Framework for Action", released by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, outlines how parent grants deliver protective factors against crime including an improved school climate and increased literacy (which can also reduce poverty and build prosperity). Education metrics also make up three of the eight indicators of the Poverty Reduction Strategy. Further, literacy improves health outcomes (reducing health care costs).

Spiritual Bypassing
Spiritual bypassing is the use of spiritual beliefs to avoid dealing with painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs. Spiritual ideals of any tradition, can provide easy justification for people to duck uncomfortable feelings in favor of more seemingly enlightened activity. When split off from fundamental psychological needs, such actions often do much more harm than good.
Spiritual Bypassing involves unresolved or ignored psychological issues often masked as spirituality, including self-judgment, excessive niceness, and emotional dissociation. In that perpetual state of avoidance and protection we actually end up creating more masks, layers and barriers that get in the way of massive breakthroughs and true deep growth.

“Spiritual Bypassing: A term first coined by author John Welwood. The spiritual bypass is the tendency to jump to spirit prematurely, usually in an effort to avoid various aspects of earthly reality (practical challenges, unresolved emotions and memories). The bypass has many symptoms- the starry-eyed bliss trip, radical detachment from one’s self-identifications, premature forgiveness, ungrounded behaviors, wish-full thinking etc.” ~Jeff BrownTips to Avoid Spiritual Bypassing:
- Spiritual and Self-Developmental information is abstract. Attending seminars, workshops, reading books, going to yoga and meditation classes, etc. are fantastic tools, however, the most important thing you need to ask yourself is if you are taking action and applying what you are learning from these modalities consistently, by integrating it into your life daily. If it remains abstract and is simply intellectualized it really isn’t going to help you to create long lasting and permanent change.
- Many people believe that something must be terribly, “wrong,” or dysfunctional in their lives to see a Life Coach, Therapist, Counselor or Healer. This is absolutely FALSE. Everyone has personal, “stuff,” to work through. When you see a professional you move into a vulnerable state of expression and opening; something you cannot always do alone or with friends or family members. These professionals are objective and are invested in only seeing you thrive and grow beyond your limitations and boundaries in a safe setting. They can offer you a different perspective as to what is going on inside of you. They will also hold you accountable to be sure that you are doing the work and making progress in between sessions that create a lasting impact on your life.
- Express and allow your emotions, wounds, traumas and pain to surface healthily and with love. Let go of the fear, judgment and suppressing of emotions. We often turn to things outside of ourselves to cope with our internal pain and suffering. Examples include addictions to food, drink, drugs, shopping, sex, work, focusing on others and diverting attention away from yourself etc. Make peace with being uncomfortable. If you are numbing yourself inside out this energy lingers and creates a breeding ground for other issues to arise and manifest. Get down to the root of your problems as they will not go away on their own.

Connect through Space and Time
I am just reading a book called, "Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives", by Michael Newton. I recommend this book especially to those who have lost a loved one.
In the book, there is a story about someone who was recounting a previous death experience through a past life regression. In this particular case, the person under hypnosis recounts how they used their wedding ring to connect with their surviving loved one to reassure them that they will always be there for them in spirit and to comfort them during their grieving process.
The above story made me realize that not only did I lose a heart crystal in the ocean in the Bahamas to connect better with the Dolphins in 2004 (you can read the story here), but in 2005, I received an object from the ocean. One night, during another live-aboard trip to swim with wild dolphins, we had conch for dinner (the creatures that live in spiral conch shells) and they saved three of the shells. They placed them in bleach that night and the next day I cleaned one (a lot of work!) to take home. I realize now that the shell will also help me connect with the ocean and dolphins.
Anything we have on us for a period of time has an imprint of our energy. It enables our spirit, and the spirit those who have passed, to connect through time and space with that object, and those whose energy field encompasses the object.
It is not necessary to connect through an object, but it does make it easier when part of your energy exists where (and when) you want to go.

Can anyone do Energy Healing?
Everyone has energy healing abilities, can do Energy Healing, and probably has without even knowing it. Most people have at least instinctively given someone a hug or put their hand on someone’s shoulder to comfort them. The problem is that you can easily give away your own energy, or take on other people’s "stuff" if you are not careful.
We have an energy duplicate of our body, energy centers called chakras, and an energy field. If you are not familiar with the chakras or the energy body, and would like to know more, I recommend reading a book or search on-line – I have some information on my blog as well: http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2011/12/chakras.html
There are seven main points to be mindful of during Energy Healing:
1. The first is to ask - Ask permission of the person you will be working on. If you cannot communicate with them directly, ask their higher self.
2. The second is protection - Before you do anything energetically, it is important to call in your spirit guides (whatever they are – they could be Angels, or spirit animals etc) for protection and to help you. Once you reach a certain vibrational frequency, you may no longer need them for protection, but you can call them for their help.
3. Third, cleansing - You need to cleanse your energy so you don’t pass your stuff to the other person. Examples:
http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2012/09/healing-breathing-exercise.html
http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2013/01/fire-cleansing-visualization-exercise.html
4. Next, grounding - You need to ground yourself to ensure that you transmute other people’s negativity into the Earth so you don’t take on their stuff. Grounding also keeps you balanced. More information: http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2013/04/spiritual-grounding.html
5. The fifth is to remember that you are only a facilitator or a channel of energy – do not give your own energy away.
6. You need to heal from your heart. When humans think from their heads, anything they manifest or create is created in duality because it is off balance in our energy field. Meaning, every time someone does something positive, something equally negative also happens. Similarly, if someone creates something negative, something positive is also created. To get away from this duality, we need to manifest, create and heal from the heart – which can only be based on peace and love.
First heal your heart:
http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2012/06/our-light-comes-from-heart.html
Then be in your heart:
http://sunyata-eternallight.blogspot.ca/2013/03/manifest-your-hearts-desire-heal-earth.html
7. Finally, an important part of a treatment is the intent – that it be for the person’s highest and best. The technique (e.g., hand placement) used is less important than the intent behind what you are doing - then follow your intuition!
The main reasons I have found why Energy Healing may not work is either the person being healed really does not want to be healed, their illness is part of their chosen spiritual path, or they have beliefs which are blocking the healing. Further, there are often many layers of healing which are required and most people are not instantly healed unless they have done a lot of work to clear themselves from "stuff" in this life and past lives. This applies to the healer as well. If the healer has many energy blockages, they cannot be a very good channel to facilitate healing energy to someone else.
In the end, I find it is more beneficial to help guide a person on their healing journey with psychic healing messages then to simply heal them physically. Otherwise, it is like you are treating the symptoms without understanding the cause (which means the symptoms can reoccur). I choose to combine healing messages and energy healing so people at least have a better understanding of why they are facing the challenges they have. It can also serve as a warning of energetic issues which can manifest in time if not addressed.
As a final note, I like to compare Energy Healing to the medical profession in that anyone can perform first aid after reading a book, but it is better to take a First Aid Course over a weekend - a Reiki course being an analogy. However, what you learn in a weekend really cannot compare to the skills of someone who has been training and practicing for years in the medical field - so be wary of people who only have Reiki certificates without years of experience at the very least.

7. Finally, an important part of a treatment is the intent – that it be for the person’s highest and best. The technique (e.g., hand placement) used is less important than the intent behind what you are doing - then follow your intuition!
The main reasons I have found why Energy Healing may not work is either the person being healed really does not want to be healed, their illness is part of their chosen spiritual path, or they have beliefs which are blocking the healing. Further, there are often many layers of healing which are required and most people are not instantly healed unless they have done a lot of work to clear themselves from "stuff" in this life and past lives. This applies to the healer as well. If the healer has many energy blockages, they cannot be a very good channel to facilitate healing energy to someone else.
In the end, I find it is more beneficial to help guide a person on their healing journey with psychic healing messages then to simply heal them physically. Otherwise, it is like you are treating the symptoms without understanding the cause (which means the symptoms can reoccur). I choose to combine healing messages and energy healing so people at least have a better understanding of why they are facing the challenges they have. It can also serve as a warning of energetic issues which can manifest in time if not addressed.
As a final note, I like to compare Energy Healing to the medical profession in that anyone can perform first aid after reading a book, but it is better to take a First Aid Course over a weekend - a Reiki course being an analogy. However, what you learn in a weekend really cannot compare to the skills of someone who has been training and practicing for years in the medical field - so be wary of people who only have Reiki certificates without years of experience at the very least.

Spiritual Grounding
When working with energy, it is important to ground yourself so you don’t take on the "stuff" of other people; to ensure that you transmute other people’s negativity into the Earth. Grounding also keeps you balanced (spiritually/physically).
If you are not grounded, you can be forgetful, feel "spaced out", be clumsy, and possibly feel dizzy as examples. At the same time, please do not assume that if you have these symptoms that there is no other possible cause. Please talk to your Doctor if you are concerned about your health.
One way to ground during meditation is to visualize roots growing from your feet into the Earth and around a crystal. Take some time to really see your crystal and your roots surrounding it. Over time, as it seems appropriate for you, you may see your roots grow to surrounding crystals. For me, I see my roots connect to crystals around the Earth.
Your roots can also come from your spine or legs. I usually have roots from my feet to ground myself to the Earth and have roots from my legs into the Earth with the soul purpose of draining negativity into the ground.
Other ways to ground include eating (healthy food), drinking water, walking/being outside, and exercising. A good practice is to have a glass of water after meditating, giving a psychic reading, or energy healing.

International Space University
I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend the 2006 Space Studies Program (SSP) at the International Space University (ISU) in Strasbourg, France. It was a nine week program and there were 104 participants representing 27 different countries.
I attended a total of 60 lectures on various topics including: Life Sciences, Policy & Law, Business and Management; Physical Sciences, Satellite Applications; Space & Society, Space Mission Analysis & Design and System Engineering. In addition to the lectures, there were workshops, panels, theme days, department projects and team projects.
I was part of the Business and Management Department. Our department assignment was to respond to a request for proposal for a meteorological microsatellite. Our department trip was to EADS Astrium in Fridrichstafen, Germany.
I attended workshops on Microsatellites, Orbital Mechanics, and International Diplomatic Negotiations to name a few. One of the workshops was with the head of the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts which was very interesting.
There were weekly panels including panels on the satellite industry, living in space, going to Mars, space tourism and there was an astronaut panel with six astronauts from different countries including the first Chinese Taikonaut.
In the second half of the summer, after the exam, we focused on our team projects. There were three team projects to choose from. There was one on micro/nanotechnology, one on artificial environments and I chose the Earth observation team project. The Earth Observation (EO) team project focused on EO system solutions for small countries and regions. For each team project, we were required to complete a letter of intent, a draft report, three presentations, a final report and an executive summary.
Attending ISU SSP06 was an unforgettable experience. I learned about the latest space technologies and applications and I was very impressed by the caliber of people I met from around the world.
