Good Morning!
Although I've written about this previously, now moving through a new integration I'm moved to discuss it again.
Integrating an additional aspect of soul is a cyclical reality for all of us. Some of these are what I call minor shifts and, periodically, a primary shift or integration causes a number of symptoms that seem to be out of our control, affecting nearly every aspect of life.
The soul is an entity of such magnitude that we are unable to comprehend it. It contains all the personalities that will enable it to fulfill its purpose. All present, past and future personalities are contained in it and emanate from it, and that includes all aspects or facets of each personality. We have some trouble relating to non-linear experiences, but to understand the soul, we do need to stretch a bit to relate to it.
I am told that there are a finite number of souls; that in the beginning just 144,000 were created, and from those are generated all the lives ever lived. Daunting to say the least.
We've grown up to believe that we contain our souls. What I offer here is that we come from our soul and contain a facet of it, which means we also contain memory of all that which our soul contains.
When we go through a soul shift or integration, we take on another dimension of the personality our soul originally generated. In a primary shift our mental, emotional, physical and etheric bodies change. Auras change color. One quirky result is that people we know well look at us quizzically and ask if we've changed something.
On the other side of a shift, which can take months to integrate, we experience more focus and intention, increased personal power, and a greater sense of well being. It may feel like we are looking at our lives through a different, sharper lens. We often, unconsciously, pair a soul shift with an event such as a retirement, the loss of a loved one, the birth of a child, or an injury. If we did not, we might feel we were losing our touch with reality.
Relationships can change along with internal changes. This part may be the most difficult to accept, but that new lens sharpens our perspective about the people with whom we share our lives. Some change, especially that which affects others, makes us uneasy and we question ourselves. Finally, what we can do is breathe deeply, seek inspiration and accept what comes about naturally. And we can take extra care: more sleep, plenty of water, eating foods that ground us like root vegetables. All of this supports the system while it moves through dramatic changes.
For me, this current shift has me seeing things altogether differently. From one day to the next, it seems, I hardly know who I am. I am so grateful for my loving family and friends. Reaching out to them helps so much to anchor myself in a familiar reality. And I am grateful for my clients who help so much to steady my days.
There's hardly a part of my life that looks and feels the same. What physical things I use, what I eat and drink, how I connect with people, all of it and more has changed. This integration is a profound journey, both exciting and challenging. When in the throes of a primary shift in 1987, Wisdom told me to think of it as a new incarnation, same body, same soul; a new dimension I was drawing from that soul. Since then I've learned that this is not unusual. You may find, on reflection, that you've accomplished more than one yourself. Thankfully, we share the journey.
Still Becoming,
I AM still Phyllis :)

To Touch or Not To Thrive
Good Monday Morning!
I love National Geographic. I have learned so much about our world and its people and I'm happy to pass my issues on to my grandchildren.
Now I have an issue with this issue, "The War on Science." Lots of great information about our human denial regarding many scientific findings and events, for example the moon landing.
Also included is a short article on promoting "fist bumps" instead of handshakes. Now I must protest.
Human beings need touch. When deprived of touch infants fail to thrive, and we do not outgrow our hunger for touch. When I visit a senior member of our family, she makes it a point to ask me for a hug while standing. It's a long and satisfying full-body hug. We are both better for it.
We were not a family who spontaneously and purposefully hugged. Our mother's parents were not huggers, so the pattern was not there to pass on. At some point in her personal growth, my sister Judith began hugging us. We found we all liked it and it has become a warm and welcome addition to our relationships.
The premise for substituting fist bumps for handshakes comes from the concern about transferring germs from hand to hand. And with all the viruses running rampant in our world, I get it, but how far are we willing to go in the name of safety?
We exchange energy through our hands. My chiropractor is an excellent example of therapeutic energy exchange, as are all the hands-on therapists we invite to touch us. I once had a massage therapist whose touch was at first excellent, then became intolerable as she (I later learned) became addicted to drugs. We do not shake hands simply to be polite. We learn about people by touching them and receiving their touch, and the handshake is the acceptable ritual to achieve that touch.
What's next, that we stop touching one another all together? Are hugs next? NO. At least not for me. As a civilization we must insist on touching one another to survive and live in harmony.
I believe that should we cease touching one another for fear of infection, we will find ourselves infected by conditions more virulent than any virus: paranoia, rage, depression, and other emotional illnesses brought on by deprivation through isolation.
Breathing into health through touch,
Phyllis
P.S. I've written a letter to the editor of National Geographic, so I've had a full rant today :) Breathing....

Our Sea of Emotions
Good Morning, Everyone!
Reflecting this morning on our emotions, I think it's fair to say that very few people are entirely comfortable with this aspect of being human.
Many years ago an ultra-terrestrial group appeared during a work-shop in Hayward, WI. Their conversation with us was like listening to a computer speaking, completely absent of emotion.
And they told us they were curious about us because we are the first species in our cosmic structure to combine an emotional body with the physical and mental. We might think about it as being a melting pot in our Universe, much like the U.S. is a melting pot of many nationalities for Earth.
This group with no emotion, then, functions purely from a mental and physical perspective and says we are worth studying to see how the experiment is working. (this is not to say that I feel we are being manipulated by some outside force. No, we each volunteer for a life, and souls that choose a human life do so with the Wisdom of free will).
And so, I ponder, how are we doing in this grand experiment? For the most part, I think that considering that we are still fledgling sailors on this uncharted sea, we are doing pretty well. Still, we try editing our emotions when they take us to places we had not expected. We are prone to taking a detour into the mental body to avoid the sudden impact an emotion can have on our systems, as if thoughts could save us from the consequences of allowing our feelings.
This morning, waking in tears from a dream with profound messages, I found myself wondering how I "should" feel about the dream. Whoa! There are no shoulds, as we often say. And certainly in the case of emotions, this is important information for me about avoidance. Over the years I have grown increasingly comfortable with my emotions, but the sudden impact of unfamiliar, uncharted emotional waters caused me to react to protect myself. And I wondered how often I have taken that route.
We manage our own systems. It's entirely our choice in what direction we travel, what we explore and how we might choose to record the memories so that we might reflect on and enjoy the adventure again. Yesterday I heard a message received years ago: "Your emotional body does not give a rip what your mental body says." Our emotions will persist. They must. This is our assignment. The trip through our emotions is essential to our evolution. So if we take a detour, we will find ourselves retracing the emotional waters to insure that we learn as much as possible about the whole of our experience and to become all we can be.
Once I allowed myself to feel deeply into the messages in my dream, I was able to cry long and hard. It was cathartic, and because I allowed myself this freedom, critical information then came to guide me further in caring for my health and well being.
I walked around saying, "Thank you, Thank you," and being reminded that of course it was my Wisdom all along and allowing the emotions released it. I am so grateful for all the loving support I have and embrace this partnership in my healing and becoming.
Breathing with you into our Ease, until next time,

Living in Gratitude
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.

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.
