Good Morning!
How good it feels to be back with you again.
As I wrote in my gratitude journal last night, I said, "I have this odd feeling that I am here, and not here." And this may be true because I'm in a state of transition, but as I breathed into the feeling, I realized this feels like a state of being that naturally follows "living in gratitude," being in the world but not of it.
Things flow lately. Life is more effortless. Have you, too, noticed those times when everything just seems to flow out in front of you with no obstacles? When I've had those experiences, they were just that, experiences that came and went and left me wondering why they came and went. It reminds me now of those "psychic" events that came and went in my early life. I felt so frustrated and curious. WHY was this not more consistent? Did I really have an ability, or was it my imagination gone weird and wild? When I unexpectedly opened to channel in '83 and the flow of intuitive consciousness gradually became a more normal part of my life, I felt such a relief that, yes, I could trust this aspect of myself.
This present awareness of flow in daily life applies to so many things: the batch of muffins that I effortlessly create; the shopping trip when every single thing (and a few I hadn't planned but needed) is available at the store that is suddenly on my mind; the item I thought I'd lost that, when mentioned, again appears; having the finances to meet extra needs. Flow.
What has changed? Well, a lot has changed, of course, and I've put my attention on redesigning my daily life since Mom passed. Loss has a way of changing perspective, doesn't it? My redesign includes writing again in my gratitude journal at bedtime, but more than that, I realize that constant gratitude, breathing into gratitude, has become a way of life.
(insert a little throat clearing here) Yes, life continues to present me with karmic items that remind me I still have reason to remain on the planet. All the more reason to breathe, observing without attachment as to how and why every day works. So I am here, and not here; flowing in a new channel of Consciousness a good deal of time.
One thing I've noticed, especially. When a really awful thing happens - when I create an experience that rocks my world - like a huge buck T-boning Faun, my Buick, Thanksgiving weekend,
I am able to breathe and say, OK, I am grateful for the Wisdom in this. And then breathe to stay in that frame of Mind as it sorts itself out. If you've done this, you know how the situation is then able to inform us as to its perfection, and the remedy comes through more readily.
A Facebook posting said something like, "Act as if everything is rigged in your favor." And it is, after all. So, as soon as possible, why not take a deep breath and shout, "YES!" - the most powerful prayer.
Breathing with gratitude into our shared ease,
Phyllis

It No Longer Applies
Greetings from the other side of our calendar!
How many times I said to Mom, "Whoever would have thought that we'd be saying, "20.. anything", much less 2015, yet here we are. And we would enjoy a moment of wonder together.
Well, our mother made the transition into 2015, then made her final transition on the 12th day of this new year. We agree that we are blessed to have known her for so long, and, poignantly, I've realized that the person I've known every moment of my 73 years is no longer physically present; not for a visit, nor a phone call, nor shared laughter or tears, nor reflection on the ironies of this life.
And as I have grieved and breathed and observed my life without her, I am reminded of the message that came for a client: "Whatever your old story, it no longer applies."
Things can change as we allow them to change. The old stories, however, can freeze us in the past. Reasserting the old memories in the same language and energy keeps us recycling the old stuff. This is a most vibrant time in our evolution to observe ourselves and the stories we tell about who we are, about our histories, and about the conditions we bring to this life. They no long apply - unless we persist in retelling them.
It's not so difficult to change the stories we tell, to ourselves or to others. The observer self comes to assist if we will breathe and listen to ourselves. Then we can, again with breath, approach the story and feel the way we would prefer to know ourselves and to discern how the story might be told differently. Yes, who do I prefer to be? In what context would I like to proceed with my life?
Especially changing the stories about significant events, such as the death of a loved one, a crash, an injury, an illness or surgery can alter our future. If we can breathe, hear ourselves telling about it, and change our approach, our language, then the internal mechanism where it has been held is changed and we free new creational energy to move forward unfettered by the energy of the original event.
Wisdom says, begin with something familiar and simple about your life, saying it differently to yourself than you have ever said it before. Practice in private can provide you the momentum to increase awareness as you share your life with others. Remembering that breath is the key to an inspired, new telling of your life, you will successfully alter your future.
Until next time, respectfully,
I AM

Finding Ease in our Successes
Good Monday Morning!
Are we too results-oriented to appreciate our own successes? The question comes up as I explore the concept of brain-Mind melding.
I've felt/seen the conflict in clients when we explore a new means of achieving a desired change. We talk about the process and the probability of reaching the new goal, an internal outcome that will be very satisfying, but with no obvious evidence to validate what they've invested.
In other words, as a culture we seek validation from those around us who might, seeing our investment, applaud our efforts, thus further anchoring the effect we have achieved.
We have moved into a Cosmic energy that makes possible so much more than we have ever believed possible for humanity.
Yet we are born of a karmic pattern that hungered for concrete evidence and the approval of others. We love the thought of using this awesome energy to create a new self, a new Earth, while we feel like we're still lumbering along in linear, thus limited, physical dimension.
As I talked with a friend yesterday about the health of her partner, we discussed how he might choose to use the three-point formula to communicate with his system and perhaps achieve a resolution of his symptoms. Is the formula enough to satisfy that need for concrete evidence? Once relieved of our symptoms, is it possible for us to relax and celebrate our new creation without validation?
Is our System stronger when we can relax into our own knowing?
When I have shared with others the successes I've had with my own symptoms I've felt the implausibility factor. And I understand it. I am, by nature, a skeptic. However, the journey is a great teacher.
I am often prompted to share a physical success with a client or friend, so I have a fertile environment for practicing objectivity; for seeking within myself the ease of knowing without having to seek validation for what I've achieved. Truth is, seeking to exceed my ego, I often share the successes of others (carefully disguised) to illustrate what is possible. And so I observe ego; what a fickle thing it is and how, breathing, we can allow it to rest - sometimes. Whew!
We are moving closer to achieving ease, relieving the need to validate our outcomes by seeking the approval of others. In the meantime, we breathe, we practice, we become. Some of the good news is that we are doing it in good company. Thank you for sharing the journey with me.

Brain vs. Mind & the Melding
Greetings!
Yes, it's been a while, and now it's time to process and report what has real meaning go me in the hope that I am actually creating this brain/mind meld as I write.
This is prompted by too many sources to report all of it.
Suffice to say, every time I turn around this week a new element shoots into my awareness and provides fertile ground for this adventure in Consciousness.
As I age I find myself groping for a word, a reference, a concept. Thoughts of a brain stimulation course have crossed my mind, but I've not acted on it. And after my sister checked out one of them on line, I had a coalescing thought: Why not use our Mind, expanded Consciousness, to meld with the brain and stimulate its capacity to function fully. Why not use what is in our nature already to achieve a finely functioning brain?
Brain function and Mind are so closely related that it really is not feasible to talk about them as separate functions, but we can consider the ways they are different so that we are more intentional in our access and use. More focused intention produces more of what we need and want.
Our brains run our physical systems. We know that if we injure the brain we can lose functions related to that part of the brain. We also use our brains to process logic, store concepts, create lists, organize life and doing so, feel safe, at least temporarily. The brain is a linear processor.
Thoughts that come from the brain often prompt emotion. And emotions will produce thoughts related to the emotion, which in turn produces more emotion - and so the carousel spins. These two are a rowdy pair. Like two kids on the playground looking for adventure, brain and emotion partner to promote chaos.
Mind is not brain. Mind is linked to Cosmic Consciousness. It is not linear. As I write this I realize that what I really mean is that Mind IS Cosmic Consciousness. In fact, we cannot know how expansive it is. We are born of and raised in a linear physical world. Exploring Mind, then, is a leap for us; not impossible, but an adventure beyond the concreteness we have trusted - for as long as we have known ourselves. It is as possible as we allow, as we dare it to be.
If we can embrace that Mind is Cosmic Consciousness, then it's not a big leap to ask ourselves how we might implement it for our benefit. And when we benefit by expanding Consciousness, then the whole of Consciousness is changed. Everyone benefits.
I've been exploring how Mind affects my physical being; my health and well being. Now I'm ready to affirm my intention to employ Mind to stimulate my linear brain. I now know that we have unlimited capacity to adeptly function in this multi-dimensional Universe. The adventure in Consciousness has reached a tipping point; I cannot stand still and observe.
The good news for all of us is that we do not have to use the brain to figure out how to make that happen. But because we are linear beings, we do need to employ conscious process to reestablish the link between brain and Mind. Using meditation, dreamtime, vocalizing my intention and primarily surrendering with breath, I am on my way to achieving this optimal way to utilize my whole System.
And I say reestablish because I believe we develop a dependence on our linear world which has the effect of (temporarily) causing a disconnect from fully operating Mind. Thus we hunger for Spirit, which is what we call The All That Is/Cosmic Consciousness. We hunger to link brain and Mind to know the Wholeness that is possible - again.

Where the Wisdom Lies
Good Wednesday Morning!
What is wellness to each of us? And where do we go to achieve it?
I recall so well in about 1970 that my brother who lives in L.A. called to encourage, insist really, that I chant. He had connected with what was then Nicheren Shoshu of America, a Buddhist sect that chanted Nam Myo-ho Renge Kyo (sp.) for anything they needed/wanted.
I was washing dishes when he called, involved in my life in northern Minnesota with my husband and two children - and I had developed a painful spastic colon. As I continued washing my dishes, looking out the window of my kitchen, I began to chant, and the more I chanted the more relaxed I felt.
My practice expanded into joining the organization. Every day I chanted, and I could feel myself going within as I never had before, finding peace and well-being. My symptoms disappeared and have never returned. I continued this practice for several years and it taught me a lot about achieving wellness.
Over the years since I have produced other symptoms of varying severity. The most significant was the loss of my thyroid. The story of that journey is too complex to report here, but the upshot was that after it had been irradiated, a surgeon diagnosed a nodule and told me to schedule a surgery to remove it. I walked out without the appointment, knowing somehow that it wasn't necessary. During my morning walks I talked to my thyroid & the nodule - or to the area that had been my thyroid - and three times I clearly heard my Inner Voice say, "Benign."
That message gave me peace of mind, so I gave up seeing any doctors for it, and I continued to thank my body for its Wisdom. It wasn't long before my energy returned and my thyroid recreated itself. This may be common in medical terms. I'll never know. I only need to know that my wise System took care of it because I gave it the opportunity to do so.
Just how big is this System that has all the Wisdom it needs to rectify our well-being? I'm a person who is programmed to feel responsible for myself, so asking for help from others - even extra-dimensional others - was a stretch for me. Worth exploring, but not my first reaction to a symptom.
Recently, with some heart issues motivating me, I've expanded my acceptance about what is possible. Lying down one day after having some pain, I prepared for a meditation and asked for all the help possible to relieve the symptoms and to help me achieve a strong and healthy body.
Quite quickly I was surrounded by and filled with an energy that moved in unfamiliar patterns and identified itself as Metatron, accompanied by extra-dimensional beings I call the OHM. As they worked in and around my heart I fell asleep. Now they are always available, as I suppose they always were, accompanied by Jesus, whose presence I have counted on for 30 years.
What I've learned and now trust is that every cell in our bodies holds the memory of its perfect function. Given the chance to release the shrouds of accumulated compromising beliefs, these core functions can be resurrected - if that is our perfect plan.
Our perfect plan does not necessarily mean perfect physical health. If it did, we would all live into infinity. No, we have finite physical bodies for a reason. At least they are finite for most of us, and a discussion of Ascension with the body intact is for another day. Our finite bodies are a prime experience through which we learn ourselves, exercise our beliefs, and expand Cosmic Consciousness/the Mind of God. Our symptoms, mental, emotional and physical, are intended to exercise those options.
Enjoying our lives means addressing those symptoms the best way we can. Sometimes we need to employ a medical professional or a therapist practicing alternative means to assist us. I believe we are fortunate when we engage with our expanded Consciousness, calling on all the awesome help available, asserting the conviction that best addresses our symptom and surrendering control over what we cannot fully, logically understand.
Whether it's wellness of body, thoughts or emotion, we can feel the shift within ourselves as we accomplish our objective. In doing so, we also change the Consciousness, expanding access for anyone else who shares a similar journey. What a trip! And I am grateful.

Heaven Can Wait
Good Morning!
The title, "Heaven Can Wait," comes popping into my head as I open this morning. And it does have to do with what I thought I'd chat about this morning, which is that some days are for nothing, well, nothing obvious. Every day produces something, but we're so programmed to achieving that when a day looks inactive, as mine was yesterday, the appearance is that it was a nothing day.
Heaven, or Spirit, is a constant, but obviously pursuing anything is not necessary every day.
Re-creation is the foundation for the energy it takes to actively engage in any day. Yesterday was about recreating myself. I loved my overnight, Friday night, with my two granddaughters. What a joy to share life with them for 30 energy-filled hours when we have time to connect. And then, being such a solitary being, I do need the time to renew.
I'm reminded of the affable and inspired minister at Unity Church in Golden Valley some years ago. He spoke one day about how Monday was his day off, so he would go golfing. Then one day, while lining up for a shot, he realized that he was tensing up, trying to improve his game. His days of planned re-creation were not at all relaxing. What he really needed was time to renew; time with himself to replenish.
On this gradually sunny Monday I have some things to accomplish and I'll let them flow with breath and confidence that whatever needs doing will naturally come about on its own.
I know what the girls are probably doing today. They have a new puppy; a Greater Swiss Mountain dog who looks so cute in the first pictures it makes me go, awwwww. Her official name is themed to her litter - Sunshine Punch - and they'll call her Sunny. Andrea is delighted with the balance in this. Their other dogs are Ursa (stars), Luna (moon), so now the addition of the sun is perfect.
While it takes different energy to have two such lively people in my space overnight, I love that I am renewed in that energy, too.
Seeing the world through their eyes is a joy beyond reason. Well, who needs a reason for joy!? And speaking of joy, I think my next post will be about health and well-being. I'm done for today, so I
wish each of you a flowing and perfect day of re-creation.
Happily,
Phyl-El

Known and Done
On this perfect Minnesota morning, Hello!
Continuing on the theme of Creation this morning, I'm going to review a piece Wisdom offered last October as I was preparing to move from my apartment home of 24 years to our family-owned condo just a few miles away.
With every good intention to surrender control and allow my Universe to take care of everything, I found myself one day making lists. The irony struck me, I stopped in my mental tracks, then heard "Phyllis, it is Known. It is Done."
I was filled with and surrounded by absolute ease, the lists fell away with each breath and within hours I found my whole move unfolding in my favor. My cousin called to insist he and his son move me. My contracted moving company made me a sweet deal I couldn't refuse, and friends in my building disposed of all the large items I could no long use. Awesome.
We learn early to engage with the emotional body and our brains, which blocks the flow of all that can provide us ease. We've been trained to create through logic. We find comfort in making lists, creating a plan. But the comfort is short-lived; a band aid on our emotional and mental patterns.
Whatever the situation, the need or the symptom, the outcome is Known in Creation. It is already complete and waiting for us to accept the ease in it. And because it is Done, breathing into that alternate and awesome reality allows us to see the elements falling into place in our favor. When we stand out of the way of the Cosmic flow we can enjoy the benefits of our own Wisdom. What about free will, then?
We work on so many levels of Consciousness, all the time, not just when we're thinking about it. Our free will engages at the conception of our personality, long before our physical birth. At all levels of Consciousness our Plan is Known. As we play out our lives, exercising our free will, we learn through experience. We always have the right to learn through struggle, making the lists, telling God to do it our way, for whatever reasons. We also have an opportunity to surrender and allow the Wisdom to work through us for our overall benefit - including the benefit of others. Where we do not struggle, so are the people around us relieved of the need to complicate their lives.
The conversation about Creation and free will is worth having. Doing so, we expand our Consciousness and implement our skills. But as we have been guided, as much as we like to talk about it and help one another to achieve a level of ease, we are better off not trying to understand it. We use so much energy disseminating and trying to make sense of everything. But Creation defies our linear thinking. We are better off using the tools we have and relaxing into the joy of it all.
Each day is a new adventure in the joy, the ease, the awesomeness of it all, and I am thrilled by every serendipitous event. And, yes, I can even appreciate better the contrast when I slip into control mode again. But from day to day I live more wholly in the Known and Done and celebrate with others their own expanding ease.
Until next week, breathing with you,
Phyllis/Phyl-El
