My Soul Healing Journey for Opening My Heart to Light

Jan 4 - On the days when I wake up and get outside by 6:30 am, my days flow smoothly. I accomplish a lot, with big projects completed before noon, meals at regular times, and my evenings gently closing the day rather than a mad rush to finish projects. What to do with this insight? Simple. Form the habit of getting up and out by 6:30am. To succeed, I am applying Tao healing wisdom and Tao techniques to overcome blockages that surface during this transition from old messages to new messages and new way of being -- night owl to early riser. Starting tomorrow morning, I will use the Forgiveness Practice in Dr and Master Sha 's books to clear any thoughts that block me from getting out by 6:30 am. If you are not a student of Master Sha, use any practice. I read an article by someone who uses “Let’s go” as his mantra. It works for him!  Is there a spiritual practice that you use to gain inner strength? Use it now to help you transform the messages that divert you f

On January 3rd at lunchtime, I walked the crookedest street in San Francisco - Lombard St. It had been my intention to do it at sunrise but my old thinking kicked in this morning and erased any thoughts of my plan and commitment to transform from a night owl to an early riser! Recently, I suggested to a good friend that she record the ocean and the sound of the waves, and take pictures of the birds to save as a screen saver. Why? We need these visual cues to remind us that we are creating new messages of a new outcome in our life or we run the risk of the deeply embedded old messages hijacking our efforts to live a healthier and happier life. We were born with the old messages. Transforming them will take committed and focused effort. This is why it’s important to choose one thing and put all your energy into transforming it. Dr and Master Sha, world-renowned healer, humanitarian, and New York Times best selling author, teaches “You heal one, you heal all.”  As we s

Healing, transformation and manifestation are very similar from a TAO perspective. Each requires a change of the current message to a new message. Examples: change the message of overweight to healthy weight, anger to patience, sickness to health, difficult relationship to loving relationship, financial challenges to abundance, stress to calm. In every moment, through every thought, word or, action, we can and must change the old message to a new message of the outcome we seek. On December 31st, I chose to transform my night owl nature to an early rise nature. When I got sick eighteen years ago, my sleep patterns changed. I became a night owl. That message and all the corollary messages need to change in order for me to truly be an early riser.  A year ago, changing this pattern would have an exercise in futility as my body struggled with pain and inflammation. Now that my body has healed to a great extent, this change is possible. If I do not get enough sleep, I wi

Yesterday I was reminded of how much we all want to be loved, financially free, and connected to humanity and the world in a deep and profound way. When we do not have this, we suffer greatly. Recently I was in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, an area known for its devastating opioid epidemic. To enter the Vancouver Radio Co-op, we asked those camped in the doorway to allow us to pass. They polit ely moved out of the way, while they continued preparing their drugs.  Wikipedia.com As I thought about their lives, wondering how did they get there, two realizations came to me. This group has no pretense or facade. To some extent, they have resigned themselves to the totality of a pain that is visible, all-consuming and raw. They yearn for relief from that relentless agony, and will do anything, but they do not pretend that they are not in pain.  The second realization was a huge surge of profound and unabashed gratitude towards Dr and Master Sha, spiritual teacher

Tao Centers, Tao Calligraphy, Tao Chang, and Tao Jin Dans are the only reason that today I can walk, run, sit, kneel, bend, lift, and do anything.   A YEAR AGO, I had excruciating pain - level 25 on a scale of 1-10. My spinal cord was thick with inflammation and leaking. The sheath of the spinal cord was compromised. Pockets of spinal fluid had created cysts along the cord, the most painful were on the roots of the nerves at S1, S2 (sacrum).  I learned to sleep in one position, perfectly still because any movement shot pain through my spine. In the mornings, I could not even roll off the bed because I could not move my neck. There was so much spinal fluid in my neck. I had ‘concussion headaches’ that lasted for days due to the amount of spinal fluid my body was releasing.  I could not sit at all. Could not bend at all, not even to brush my teeth. Lifting anything, including the tea kettle, shot pain through my body, head to toe. I could stand for about an hour before

Shredding is a simple enough task. You drop old birthday cards, letters, journals, receipts into a shredder and instantly the past is gone -- not exactly. Until a few days ago, I never considered shredding a spiritual practice, but this simple 'project' shook me into a deeper state of awareness and understanding about karma. Twenty years of journals with beautiful, handcrafted, one-of-a-kind covers, tied with silk ribbons, meticulously wrapped in tissue paper, and lovingly placed in individual boxes, sat quietly and patiently perched on a shelf for years. I would look at them and think "one day I need to do something with those journals." A few days ago, the time came to bring the journals down. Out came the pages and floated into the shredder. Suddenly, my sense of relief turned to horror as my spiritual teacher's profound wisdom about karma hit me. Those beautiful journals that outwardly promise beautiful, flowery words, poetry, whimsical musings, day drea
