Alchemy in Action
Isn’t it wonderful when nature applauds an action that we take?? Yesterday when I was facilitating my tele-course “30 Days to Emotional Freedom for the New Year… and the Rest of Your Life”, I took some risks. [http://is.gd/cgO4 ]
Years ago I lived in northern California. I connected with holistic health experts, extraterrestrial groups, energy workers, savvy business executives, trance channelers, world-level corporate managers, artists, earth people, high tech designers, all kinds of ethnic groups spanning all socio-economic levels. It was such a wonderful time for me to expand and take it all in. I started my business there in 1985 and it grew. I nurtured my clients and outwardly labeled myself a spiritual business consultant and trainer. The business and I were really ready to take off when my then husband decided that he would take a job in Charlotte, North Carolina. In our move I cried as I drove all the way across the country. I love the west. I love California. I love the people and the openness out there. At that time in Charlotte I found that many women’s psychological and emotional profiles were at least 50 years behind those of California women. People and businesses were conservative. I was almost crucified on stage several times as I spoke my “truth” for large audiences who had invited me to speak. Contracts were broken, people snubbed me,… until I conformed and put on a mask. I learned to quote the Bible and changed my semantics so that nobody would recognize me as the Alchemist, Metaphysician, Healer that I really am. I denied myself.
So, while I was presenting my class yesterday, now in my new life, new home, with very different circumstances all around me, I took the risk of BEing ME. I just dove in and DID IT. And, the energy swirled around the house. My wonderful cabin on top of my mountain was engulfed with a mini-blizzard. Even though it was warmer than freezing, the storm clouds whipped wind and snow around the cabin, against the windows, up the mountainside onto my deck. I thought maybe I would lose my electricity and my phone line, but I did not. It was beautiful to behold the 100 foot pines dancing back and forth in the strong wind and horizontally blowing snow. Wow. The energy show of nature!!
I took it all as a pat on the back from the Universe for doing a good job and BEing ME!! And so, from here on I will be having even MORE FUN than before because I will move forward totally in my TRUTH, being the Alchemist, Metaphysician, Healer that I really am!!

A Wonderful Day in Paradise Using My Alchemy!!
Today was such a wonderful day that I’m still up writing about it at 1:30 a.m. Today I started facilitating a series of four tele-classes entitled: 30 Days to Emotional Freedom for the New Year… and the Rest of Your Life. (You can find out more at: http://is.gd/cgO4 .) Over 200 people registered to attend the series. Not that many showed up for the live call today, but the RIGHT people were there!!
What I liked most about the call was the quality of the people. They called in from England, Canada, and all over the US. They were all willing to do whatever it takes to shift their lives for the better in this New Year. This is what kindles my passion. I love working with people who REALLY want to create a difference in their lives and are willing to go to a deeper level of consciousness to achieve that.
While I was leading a guided visualization I followed my own guidance to do it a bit differently than I usually facilitate the process. I was afraid at first that I would be too “woo-woo” or esoteric, and would turn some people off. Instead there were rave reviews at the end of the process and people were deeply touched with inner guidance from their Higher Selves.
I personally learned several things from this session. 1- Quality is much more important than quantity in who attends my tele-classes. 2- It was much more fun for me to be esoteric and metaphysical using my own alchemy than to try to speak “status quo” to the least evolved person in the audience. 3- By following my guidance wherever it led me I actually helped others more than I would have by sticking to my original process plans. 4- I like the “authentic” me better than the me standing behind the mask. 5- I think I’ll come out of the closet to be my whole SELF as I upgrade and rewrite my website in the near future. 6- It is time for me to step forward into my full power to apply my alchemy and to BE ME!!
Conscious Living: Clarifying for the New Year
As I begin each New Year I make the strong intention to WAKE UP a little more than the previous year, to become more AWARE, and to LIVE CONSCIOUSLY in every way possible. Because I am still in a physical body I feel that I still have lots to learn about this!!
With this intention, a new year is a perfect time to become clear about your focus for the next quarter, six months, full year. I enjoy sharing various clarifying techniques with my clients so that they can start to manifest the life that they really want to create. I’ll share here with you a few conscious living tips:
- Take a little time each day to be still, get centered, breath, go INSIDE of yourself. You may just focus on your breath, repeat a positive affirmation or mantra, ask a question and then get out of the way to listen for an answer. In these quiet times is often when insights and inspiration will come to you.
- While you are quietly centered or during any other time, consciously list all of the things/ aspects/ people/ opportunities/ blessings in your life for which you are grateful. As you write them down or state them out loud allow your feelings of gratitude to wash over you. Bathe in the feelings. (Note how this will change your mood, attitude, disposition after you do this.)
- Take yourself on an inner journey to visit the person you wish to be at this time next year. Make careful note of ALL aspects of how your life will be a year from now – as you are intending it. You don’t need to worry about HOW this will come about. Now is your time to create the DREAM, so GO FOR IT!! Use all of your senses to describe the setting, your feelings, what it looks like around you, how you look, what you hear, what you smell, what you feel tangibly. Elaborate as much as you want. (I enjoy leading my clients in a guided meditation around this, and you can still create this exercise on your own if you allow 10-15 minutes of quiet, centered time. I often break the exercise into shorter segments where I invite my client to focus on the life aspect that provides the biggest challenge and is open to the most change now. Then I ask them to focus on the next highest priority aspect of life. Remember to have a pen & paper close by to take notes.)
- After doing this inner exercise I enjoy guiding my clients to adopt a daily, or at least weekly, new habit of “scripting” the scenarios they wish to create. In this short writing exercise you simply write out something as though it has already happened with the positive outcome that you wish to have. Especially describe the FEELINGS that you (and all of those involved) will have after your goal has been met or the result you intend has occurred. Your feelings around your intention lubricate the Universal gears that take care of the details that bring it forward.
These are just the beginning steps you can take to start to clarify the most appropriate goals for you in the new year. In a future segment I’ll take you into the specific aspects of life and how to VISION around them. Enjoy your process!!

Conscious Living in 2009 – Going Deeper
Happy New Year!!
Spirit Glow Mandala, Anne Merkel, 2008
2009 has arrived. Life is moving more quickly. Details fly at us and around us perpetually, and we must search for peace from the static. Change is a requirement now… it has been a given all along. The best way to cope with life today is to be CONSCIOUS. And, to be conscious means to be AWARE. This means to live life at a very DEEP level, to search for understanding and the ROOT causes for emotions, issues, symptoms, detrimental habits that show up in life.
During the holiday Martin and I visited with an old friend. All three of us have extensively studied psychology and have offered psychological and emotional support to clients for many years. I was describing to our friend the difference between his traditional therapy and the neuro emotional technique (N.E.T.) and emotional freedom technique (EFT) sessions that I offer.
We discussed the fact that those clients who really WANT to change WILL be able to let go of old blockages and emotional pain, and they will seek out the kind of therapy that feels best to them. We talked about how some people who are reluctant to change or who are blocked by their subconscious so that they are unable to change, end up employing a therapist as a “rent a friend” rather than one who can really help. I also mentioned that some people – like ME – wish to lessen the time of suffering, struggling, being blocked when change or trauma occurs. We do NOT wish to merely utilize a therapist in a ”rent a friend” kind of relationship. That is why I discovered, used, and now share N.E.T. and EFT with my clients and friends.
There is a huge difference between treating symptoms and treating the ROOT or deeper initiating CAUSE of an emotional issue. General alopathic physicians are beginning to understand the need to support WELLNESS and identify the ROOT CAUSES of illness and disease rather than simply dealing with the symptoms. Psychologists and therapists are also noting the importance now of supporting WELLNESS through life-style changes and looking at a person from a WHOLISTIC or WHOLE perspective.
My philosophy of life is to have FUN and I feel that suffering is an option – not a given. In my own experience – before I re-created my life to that of PEACE, LOVE, JOY - I suffered the “dark night of the soul” and struggled in the pit of despair. Traditional tools were not useful to me and I turned to alternatives that I knew would take me to a deeper level – faster, and not cause me to have to re-visit the pain associated with memories and experiences. Now my passion is to help others release their painful energy patterns, without suffering, so that they may quickly and easily move forward with their lives.
I wish you CONSCIOUSNESS in the New Year. I invite you to go more deeply into understanding yourself, your relationships, the energetics that propel you forward and those that hold you back. When you begin to look more deeply beneath the surface of your life, then it will improve!!
Namaste!!
