Are you waking up at o dark thirty in the morning?

I always do. Like my mother did. To me the best part of the day is in the quiet of the morning darkness. There I always seem to be more inspired and grateful and at peace with the world. I learned to meditate long ago under the teachings of my friend LiLan Chan, a gifted woman. When we were finished with the instruction I said now how long is best to practice this daily. SHE SAID 20 MINUTES. I said you've got to be crazy, I can't sit still for that long. She said give it a go and see what happens. Well, it's easily two hours a day, in the dark of the morning and it began at that time. My point being, if you are waking up early all of a sudden for no reason, don't resist your instruction, it is coming from within, the greatest teacher you have. It is opening you to the quiet of day with a clear view of your life. Get a pad and pen and start taking notes, or drawing pictures of what you're realizing. Pray or listen or imagine or just let go of opinion, then you can start to receive messages. It's value is beyond measure. The pages of my mornings number in the 1000's now and looking back I reread them occasionally with awe at the miracles of my own knowings. See you in the morning, I'll be there. Dr. Su

Hopes, wishes and dreams

When you see me for a consultation at the end I always ask you to tell me what you would wish for if you had three wishes. Some people are truly stumped, others speak in terms of world peace and such, with the idea that an altruistic view is somehow better then a personal choice for self.

Let me say that a personal wish IS for the whole world, it is an altruistic dream, for in harmonizing your own choices and realizing your own dreams you set the mark for the world from you as centerpoint. That's the whole point of being here. Finding the One in self, then The One in everyone, The I Am that I Am, deep within the soul and heart of only one person and that one, is you.

You can be of one opinion here, and that is the opinion of self. What others are doing or saying is none of your business. I recently took offense. Only to then see that the only one being offensive and receiving offense, was me. So I stopped. Regrouped. And moved ahead. I let go of what I thought should happen or even of the outcome at all. Everyone has the right to be who and how they want to be, I only need to respond if I am asked for an opinion. I get paid for that. I also learned that sometimes even though I am asked, that no answer is the best answer.

So today do whatever makes your heart sing, don't worry about anyone else's heart, that is their job, not yours. Start a revolution of self and love yourself first, Jesus said it and it still sounds good to me.

Bitter / sweet

I always liked that, strawberry rhubarb or key lime pie, I always love the bitter with the sweet. Today as I thought about that I realized that is a very large part of life here. Always the bitter with the sweet. I have seen the bitter take over and the sweetness forgotten in many lives, it truly ruins so much. People get jealous, people don't like change, people look backwards instead of forward. He did that to me, she said that to me, I'll be mean spirited to them now and really show them my pain. What I know for sure is that if you celebrate the sweetness of the moment, there is always and I mean always a silver lining. Even though you lost the game, you still got a tan, or even though it's harder or more then I thought at least I know I'm capable and now willing to give it a go. Today take the bitter and add the sweet, if it is hard to do, try harder. I told my friend Joe last week, unless it's a broken neck, don't give it another thought all things are fixable and the sweetness comes in the challenge of hope and faith. Here's to a life worth living and taking the bitter with the sweet and celebrating the whole enchilada!!
Namaste' Dr. Su

Spiraling - upward or downward?

CHOICES, EVERYDAY, CHOICES.

Only you decide which direction you will go. Luckily, every single day is a new choice.

My land has zillions of fiddlehead ferns, and in watching them emerge in the spring I realize how functional the spiral is. It's the difference between digging a hole with shovel or digging with an auger. Hard or easy. Quick or slow. Your DNA is a spiral, containing amazing programming to in-form your body. An informed person going with the flow of the beautiful spiral can emerge anywhere. Through the roughest of ground the spiral can work it's way through to the light of the new spring day.

In yoga I teach spinal twisting, a spiraling of the body, releasing glitches in the spine, restoring energy to all vital organs in the process. I watch as my horses jump and buck and twist their hips to adjust their magnificent bodies. It's fabulous to watch. I know how difficult a downward spiral can be, it appears here in my world daily in the health problems that people seek me to assist them in releasing. It's totally up to the person and changing the direction of their ever spiralling energy is my goal.

So for today, imagine the spiral, see it in the fern, or the auger or your DNA, then send it upward! Find the light in your day. A job, a person, a moment of joy, send your energy to that next level up. It's a habit we will all benefit from! ONWARD AND UPWARD!

FRAGILE HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE

Yup, we are, so so fragile. I know that is why I so love to work with kids, they are so so fragile and respond so so quickly to being handled with care!!

Adults on the other hand are trickier. They don't even handle their own lives with care, therefore they can not handle another's with care either. So many people experiencing the drama here are dragging others into it with them. Not caring about how truly fragile each soul is. What do you do in front of your kids? What do you do in front of your family? What do you in front of strangers? Do you respect their fragile natures? The media exploits our fragility with horrifying pictures and words that do so much harm. Terror is the name of the game in many cases. It's why I stopped reading the paper and watching any news at all. I have a hard time recovering from the pain and conflict that is inflicted on me when I subject myself and my fragile nature to those things.

Today treat yourself with care, as if you are truly crystal. Eat, speak and do only that which keeps you safe, thereby creating safety around yourself for others. It is the best way to help the world and all it's fragile natures.

I HAD THE GREATEST DREAM!

This morning I woke up from the most beautiful place in my dreams ever. I was in the basement of a hospital, after being called there by a surgeon and a family. I had to go through the kitchen to find them but they were there waiting in groups of four when I arrived. The young man scheduled for a kidney replacement had asked that I be present before his operation, so I sat on his lounge chair with him and spoke of hope, and miracles and magical recovery, I hugged and held him for a minute before he went into surgery. He felt that he would not survive, but I knew he would because I had removed the fear and doubt and replaced it with joy and love. As I walked away chatting with my companion I knew that this would be my next job here on Earth. That what I teach as a Naturopath and how I rearrange energy with words and thoughts would be the next level of healing help for people in need.

Healing touch and all those kinds of healing help, offer much when we are in need. The times we are in doubt or have fear are the times we create dis-ease and start to feel health problems in our bodies. The body is the communicator to the mind in response to your days, it transmits whatever frequency you are projecting outward. Beautiful and healthy are it's desire. Fit and energetic are it's desire. Happy and healthy are it's desire. If you are less then that, change your mind, your lifestyle, your words and thoughts become you.

IF YOU NEED COACHING TO IMPROVE THAT PART OF YOUR LIFE - GET IT!! It's up to you, we're here to help, just ask. I coached the young man in my dream, that really is the best of what I do. You too, can become infectious with joy and potential and unlimited healing energy, Just believe it. Namaste' Dr. Su

THE MIRRORS OF LIFE!!

My friend facebooked me yesterday and said, hey beautiful woman! how ya doin! Now that is what I'm talking about!!!

I just watched a youtube video on the mirror effect, reminding us that what we see in this world and the others here, is our own stuff. To feel your own beauty you must recognize it in another. To see potential in another is to see it in yourself. To know abundance and blessing you must find it in the world and with the luck and good fortunes of others. We have a miraculous capacity to shift our point of view, but it must come from within. A comment came in another of my blogs that my Beltane history lessons on marriage options must somehow indicate bitterness. To know and speak that word comes only from the inside of the speaker. That is sad. I personally have never gone there. I love this life, I am an eternal double Sagittarius optimist, I know for sure that everything is great and improving.

So today, on purpose, I will seek beauty in the world of the ordinary, it's Saturday and chores abound, singing, laughing and looking for the beauty will make it extraordinary!! Happy Mother's Day, now that's a place for beauty!! Su

true forgiveness now

so where do we begin with list of those needing our forgiveness? right with yourself.
i knowingly or unknowingly in my consciousness on some level in some dimension agreed to all aspects of my life's journey. wow, who'd a thunk that!!

so as i move forward i share this tidbit with you all, forgive yourself. the law of attraction is real and the lessons attracted are needed and called in. finished with that junk? so be it.

crisis no more, accountability, every day in every way. live, laugh and love all the stuff of your world, your body, your friends and family, your work, your abilities, and whatever else you desire, then let go of the rest. walk on, peacefully submit yourself to love, in and for all things without judgement or even opinion.

then celebrate, for it truly is a new day!!

INSTRUCTIONS - ARE THERE ANY?

I'm working on my book, the manual of self and how to work this complicated thing I am and have. Looking to you for inspiration always guides my thoughts. There are those of us who with instruction can carry out simple to complex tasks. I personally need to see it first. I love to read and can take instruction from that. My mind forms word pictures and from those imaginings I can see and then do anything I want to. One of my students said she wants to fly like a bird and has pondered that idea for a long time. In meditation I instruct you to envision and then to instruct yourself. From there you have two options, use the information to con-struct something, building it from the vision or simply adding on to another thought. Or you de-struct, using the information to tear apart something. Many must destruct before they can begin constructing. Let them. Let yourself. No judgement in the path and all experiences go in the library of self for use in these lives. If someone you know is destructing, tell them you love them and you'll see them again on another sunny day and wish them God's speed in their use of instruction. It is the way of the peaceful warrior. Jesus saves, we don't need to.

A new client lost 13 pounds in her first 6 weeks of instruction, that is not why she came but as she uses her new instructions to balance, harmonize and nourish herself she finds more benefit then she knew possible. That is what I offer you today. Use your instructions to CON-STRUCT something so right and perfect and beautiful that you amaze yourself. FLY if you want to, I hang-glided and flew, it is amazing! The instruction is there if you look for it. Namaste'

The Drum Circle of the Beltane

The Earthmother said on May Day Morning that if we can remember that she is our true mother in this here and now, and treat her as such, with true adoration and gratitude that our lives here will heal. She was very clear and beautiful and yes, adamant. The Great Spirit, our Creator breathed and we became, once we arrived here on this plane she pulled together the pieces that create the vehicle for motion and embodied existence here. So on the morning of our celebration, she, the mother of us all, blew on us the winds of change. The drums beat, and we felt her heart. She held us close with the warm sun comforting us and the beautiful scenery inspiring our hearts. AND THEN THOSE MAGICAL HORSES APPEARED.

To back up a little, at dawn we did a pipe ceremony to bless the day and what we were praying for, and as it normally is around here, the magic started right away. My unicorn, our big white horse, Gyp, found his way out of the pasture and joined us, in freedom, to bless the day. This horse moves freely here, through our closed gates with amazing ease. No one ever sees how it is done, but we know when the Earthmother moves him to step up and participate, he can and he does. He represents to the people all that is pure and powerful and always with grace and beauty and a gentleness, just like the Mother. So later when the drumming began, all the horses began to move and were excited by the energy. These animals represent the free spirits of the people, the gorgeous bodies all unique, none better then the other, one breed with many different ages, looks and sexes. It didn't matter one bit. They came together to dance and frolic in the sun, to show us what true unity looks like. That was the gift of May Day. That is mt thought to you. Be here, beautiful, unique and thinking for yourself, compare yourself to no one and what someone else thinks of you is none of your business. Frolic, jump and buck, be free, and yet remember we are one tribe with one great mother and father who adore us all equally.
