Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah MacLachlan

please enjoy this and share it with everyone for the day of forgiveness and life everlasting are here and now! Namaste' Dr. Su

Who am I really?

We use each other to mirror back to us - US. I can see the best in me in my favorites about another. Beauty and humor, matching and congruence, honesty and potential, openness and speed, I love all that about my world and the Me in it.

How about pain, loss, suffering, frustration, lack of self control, blame and loneliness?

Those are a part of me too. Yup they sure are. I hate that and I love that too.
Animals do the same mirroring, peeing critters are peeing people, urine is insecurity and a need to demonstrate it by peeing inappropriately is the lesson to see and learn from. The disease that put me in this place for the past twenty years was Interstitial Cystitis, a need to pee constantly and a lot of pain when you didn't. Thank God I got that lesson learned and put away!!

My dog Rain bosses other dogs around, I must do the same thing or she wouldn't need to do that. She keeps her own space very clear, pushing back with a snarl any animal that gets in too close. Then she kisses them later and says now that you are not invading my space I can love you up. I do believe that is me too. I have always known that I needed to protect myself and I do do that. Never having a parent or a partner to do that for me I think made me snarly. I would even snarl at them.

Now that I feel more protected in my own space by my own choices of love and light and guardian angels, her snarling bugs me. I have even disciplined her for that behavior lately. Learning to say no, without fighting or becoming defensive is a big lesson for me.

So today I choose to be calm and loving and say no quietly and firmly if I need to, without any snarls, eliminating the need to suck up later. I am learning to blame only me for me and how I feel, my heart and what I do with it is my responsibility, no one else's. Happy is a choice, you don't need a mirror to feel that way, instead, I will use my choice to do it.

Sounds workable, not easy, not yet, but workable.

So in the spirit of love, of life and self and the potential of learning and growing from this magical place we call Earth, make some awesome choices today. I have!!!

The Power to Choose

Every second there is a choice to make, luckily taking breath is automatic since that needs to be our first choice in everything we do...
SO BREATHE!!!

Now, that being accomplished, and with a clear mind and vision,
what do you choose next?

Options could be
WORDS, FOOD, ATTITUDES, BEHAVIORS, LOOKS, CLOTHES, RESPONSES, WORK, PLAY, and LOTS OF OTHER CHOICES.

Are you waiting to choose? A healthier body, a kinder personality, a better sense of justice or humor or balance. What exactly do you want now?

Have you forgotten the power in choice? There is no greater gift then choice and freedom.

The USA may have her limitations, capitalism may be out of control and changes are on the way, but she still wants you to choose.

So that being said, in my prayer each night I choose gratitude, in my morning meditation I choose faith, vision, joy, love, and truth. My truth is mine to choose as is most of all the parts of my day. I love that option and it is divine, I also choose Divine Will over Free Will every time and try my best to acquiesce to it's flow.
Not everyone here chooses that, therefore, from time to time I have to stay securely in my own little world of my own choices and forget about the choices of others.

Don't give up or give in, choose the coolest stuff you can think of, own your choices and they will be there right before your eyes in no time at all. For the holiday I choose gratitude and love and really good food and family and friends!!

AND I CHOOSE TO SHARE WITH YOU!!

Upgrade your health

We all know that coming with the dark of winter is the time of hibernation and healing. Did you see that word, healing?

It is time now,it is our time to heal.

The body slows down when out of the light, it needs to rest and recuperate. That's why we get winter, to reboot ourselves and the Earth Mother does the same thing.

What should you do?

Stay warm, take vitamin c and d-3, use immune system enhancers like Noni drops or Echinacea/Goldenseal at least one week per month. Add honey to everything, it's natural magic, is beyond your wildest dreams. Cook real food, use your stove not your microwave. Make enough to share with those you care about. Offer to help someone out, service to others is the highest form of service to self.

Laugh and sing and dance - a lot. try Zumba!! try Yoga!! Corepower will give you a free week in Woodbury, over the Thanksgiving Holiday is the perfect time to try it.

Say only what you mean and want. It is your life now. Speak the truth with wisdom and control and kindness. If you put it out there with your mouth, it is yours forever!! Tell those you thought that had authority over you that they do not get to tell you what to do anymore. You will make your own choices about your own STUFF. That includes your health, your money, your relationships, your politics or lack there of and yes, even your religion. You are your own best authority, you always were, never forget that. Tell all the bullies you know to go home and be quiet and not to contact you in any way any longer. Let go now and be in the present, for it is a gift!!

Body, mind and spirit are equal players, give them equal attention. You must be balanced to be happy and healthy. Work your body, work your mind and enrich your spirit daily. I do Angel cards each day to inspire myself, I meditate and journal, I do yoga everyday and I read and listen to music everyday. AND LOOK AT HOW GOOD I TURNED OUT!

Happy Holiday, be grateful, for gratitude is very attractive. Namaste' Dr. Su

Dakota 38

I need to help you see this film, look up the trailer on the Dakota Website, I'll get more details today after our ceremony at Cold Springs.

38 plus 2 DEAD

I was invited to a preview of a beautiful documentary at Ft. Snelling yesterday. A gentleman named Sheldon Wolf Child showed his film of the realization of a man's dream.

The dream was to have a 330 mile horseback ride to Mankato, where the day after Christmas long ago, President Lincoln ordered the mass murder of 38 Dakota Indians. They had been hungry and started battle for food for their people and the result was their assassination, the largest ever carried out in the USA.

Jim Miller dreamt it was time to go back to Mankato on horseback at Christmas and find forgiveness for all who participated in this sad reality. AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID. From 330 miles away in South Dakota, where they lived, across snowy lands and down icy roads they rode for 16 days, to arrive on the 26th day of December in 2008.

What a powerful story. We have long felt the sting of self pity and the depression that comes with the idea that we are victims. 150 years later these people chose a different road and decided to become victors instead. The peace that comes with mercy and compassion is the whole story of the healing of humanity. We each have many stories like this one from many times and many lives.

In honour of these healers, those who chose to let go now and live in peace in their own hearts, let us all let go of something painful. See backwards to a death or a loss that breaks your heart and offer that broken heart to the Creator for healing.
Ask for the peace that passes all human understanding and embrace a new day filled with the love of life here and all it offers, easy and HARD.

Jim told me after that showing, my horses, because they are quarter horses, could have never made the trip, he said they only could have gotten a "quarter" of the way!!

Now that's what I like, sassy and willing to laugh, even after a film of tears. Thank you Jim and Sheldon and all who did this project, may the Universe use it in a mighty way!! Namaste' to all, Dr.Su

All we need, everyday in everyway.

So much has been brought into the light since the millennium shift. Over and over, illusions and realities are shattered by shifts in perception. I told my client that our views of the same thing were so very different since he was 6' 2" and I am 5'5". and seeing on the top shelf of my products is so much easier and clear for him then it is for me. It is that way in all things, two people, see points of view and two different ways of perceiving that view.

So in my prayer today I say simply this.

With the gift of my sight and faith combined now, I ask that easily, within my reach , all that I need to nourish myself and flourish here, be obvious and accessible. So be it and so it is.

Simple, to the point and totally doable. No more and no less.

We have struggled to maintain the illusion, let the truth be the order of the day, and let the authenticity of that personal truth add to your experience!! Be proud of yourself and your willing nature, celebrate yet another beautiful day and the chance to be the blessing you choose to receive. Namaste' Dr. Su

Other people's stuff

You are going to love this.

When we see a butterfly struggling to release itself from it's cocoon we must not help. If we do, if we touch it in any way we will paralyze it and will not succeed in it's flight!!!

How many times have you been tempted to help, just a little or maybe a lot, but in our arrogance and ignorance, what we really accomplish by doing that is we shut the learner down.

Uh oh!! I have done that so many times I can't even count. Well intentioned, for sure, but just plain inappropriate.

So here's to everyone figuring it out now all on their own. Getting the solutions they need from the best teacher of all - SELF!

I for one will be glad to stand down, and let the world do their own work now. I will answer if asked not any other way. My way is not necessarily a fit for them and I need to let it go. WOW I told you you would love this!! GO WORLD!

Something wonderful this way comes

Can you see it? Right in front of you, a new day is dawning and with it a new way of living and ultimately being.

Our world has struggled for a very long time, so much blaming the other guy for the pain we feel. Actually alot of litigation about it, just watch TV for the lawyers and their commercials.

It happened to me. Someone wanted me to take responsibility for their illness and their choices. They made a big stink about it too.

I will not. Not ever be will I be responsible for another person's behaviors or choices. That is up to each one of you. How many times have you heard, " you made me so mad, or sad or glad or whatever"? Well, that is not possible, your responses to anything in this life are yours and yours alone, you are the maker and breaker of patterns of living and feeling and behaving.

It is no one else's fault. If you believe your responses to another's choices are inappropriate for you, agree to disagree and move on. Trying to change someone is arrogant and just not your job here, not ever. Each person, if they desire to change must do it completely on their own.

Do not think for one moment that sympathy or fear are love for you because that is not love, love does not create chaos. It never has. Manipulating others for your personal attention is not love, although the squeaky wheel may get the oil for a moment they will not win in the end anything but self responsibility and accountability.

Let's become accountable now. Take your behaviors and become accountable for them all.

When you don't eat right you turn your body into an anxious mess, when you stay in the place where words are negative, complaining or hurtful or untrue, RUN AWAY. You are the only one who can control this.

I pray each day before I get out of bed for two things, one the most benevolent outcome in each circumstance for everyone involved and for the ability to be the blessing that I wish to receive. Thank you all for being such a blessing to me!! Dr. Su

See you all at my daughter Jessie's new Corepower Studio in Woodbury, it opens tomorrow and I will be there daily for the next two months upgrading my own yoga practice. Namaste'

I love those numbers. I was lucky enough to be sitting in front of my computer when they all came up and the awareness of the greater scope was all I could feel.

New beginnings everywhere on every level.

The old ways disappearing as if they were just a flash in the pan, which they were.

The system designed to take not share evenly, gone.

The fear that somehow something is bad, wrong or broken, gone.

The separation of the threads of light and colour in the tapestry of Earth disappearing and fabric now showing it's beautiful intricate diversified designs.

The notes of the orchestra being heard together in harmony and symphony!!

We are all equal now, smart and beautiful, successful and healthy!! Those who can help will, those who need help, ask.

No more telling.

Listen and you will hear the voices of the children and the song of peace and unity they bring and sing!!

Thank you Creator for All that was and is and ever shall be. It is a wonderful day to be alive!! Dr. Su

Your life staring you in the face.

My friend fell from my horse the other day and the horse went crazy, bucking and jumping and took off full speed with the saddle between his legs. I was worried he may get hurt, or hurt someone else. He didn't. It was ok after a minute but...

I know enough to look at each situation in my life as mine and mine alone. I teach that each person must own their own reality. They are not victims, they never were. They are students in a very high level classroom. The teachings of each moment are the chosen lessons for that time.

Money, sex, careers, home and family are hot topics these days, then throw in the law, politics, health matters and religion and you have a hot box of blame and discontent. Finger pointing and time wasting, woulda, coulda and shoulda all being a part of the mix.

I lost two friends to cancer last week too and watched the faces of those who were left behind and thought about the changes and the potential for healing when one looks the lesson they just received and the pain and the loss of it all. Will those who watched the torture of treatments not designed to help the person but help the money machine, look to a different way of healing now?

On that note, I never knew until now that oncologists make a direct profit from their drugs, they are the only MD's who have that legal right. No wonder they fill you full of expensive stuff without a thought to the torture and pain of the person leaving the planet. A quick buck from the soon to be departed. Who cares anyway huh? They were terminal anyway! Why not load em up and load up my pocketbook too before this money trains moves on out!!!

This is a crazy place, and people do crazy things out of fear.

Back to my horse story. I realized that horse was me. I do not like to be saddled, not by a partner or any other thing I think I must carry, that is not mine or of nature. I would dump my load too now. I will not carry the lessons or responsibilities of another again. I will not pay their way or clean up after them or sacrifice my life, my health, my joy and my personal needs for others now. I will take care of me first, love me first, do what I need to do first then I will look to assist if I can and desire to do so. It has to be in that order or it will not work. Many of you have forgotten the sacrifice of Christ and climbed on that cross yourself. Well, get down now and get to work, this is a cool place and you belong here now in health and happiness!! Namaste' Dr. Su

WHOLEFOOD AND HORSES AND KIDS TOO

We hosted a field trip for 11 inner city kids here at Hawk's Ridge for a day with my beautiful horses. They learned all about them. They groomed them, they rode bareback and of course, saddled up for the final ride. A lot of fun in one great day.

Now I have done this many many times and there usually is an issue or two that arise with behaviors. Sometimes we need a time out or a word, sometimes there is a meltdown. Kids have their days too.

This time it was different, really different.

First thing I did was hand out an Odwalla whole food bar to each child, starting our time together with a full tummy of real usable nutrition.

The transition to peaceful happy kids was astonishing, all day they kept their balance, in every way. Not one time was there any negativity or loss, due to an issue.

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Everyone noticed!!

So today, eat something wildly healthy and full of nutrition first thing and see the way your day goes too. It is so much easier for the body and the mind to work in harmony when the fuel in the tank is correct and usable. A lot less rage and sadness and anxiety will be the instant result. Think about that!! We all use my Clearvite protein and vitamin drink everyday and that keeps us moving in a healthy way. Try it.

Have a great day, Su

The Carbon Footprint

What is that and why does it keep coming up?

Because it is the legacy of the 20th century.

Our world is our Mother and our home and we treat it like we treat our bodies, like they are indestructible. Put in garbage and just let it stay there, accumulating over time, then we are surprised when we get fat or sick or tired or die a lot sooner then we expected.

Some people are angry when I tell them their diet has to improve to a natural healthy and preferably organic diet to get their body back. Pop, cigs, additives, flavors, sugars, preservatives, alcohol, stuff like corn curls ( Made of what?),all add up in the body, layer upon layer. It not only causes a size increase but a toxic load is like a dirty river, full of sludge and debris. Without a clean up and a clean fresh source of food and water and good program of body movement, and pure fresh air and sunshine, it will lock up and back up and then that is when the expiration comes.

Then comes the toxic attitude. The critical, short fused, negative attitude. YUK!!!

Once the body begins to break apart instead of cleaning it up, we throw in drugs, fillings, or we radiate it to somehow get control of an uncontrollable condition. Then we wonder we feel and look worse and die younger and more insane then we ever were.

People are scared and sick and crazy and depressed, not to mention just plain ugly looking and acting. That is not how our Mother wanted our life or her life to be. She wants the clean river, the beautiful flowing pristine river, energetic and life giving. To get it you have to get after it all on your own. No one else can do it for you, to you or at you, it is up to you. If you are lonely or sad or sick or just confused find a naturopath or other health consultant to help you set up a program. This is TOO FUN to miss, days filled with love, laughter and light, singing and dancing and playing are what your Mother would want for you! Get after it!
