It's All About Change - No If's, And's or Butt's About It

It's All About Change - But, But, But ... Get Off Your Butt About It!

Change means adapting, finding what doesn't work, what does work, and then applying something new to what doesn't -- maybe just to see what happens.

Change means getting out of your comfort zone, because it's a dead zone, like the dead zone of excuses.  And a dead zone is a dead life.

I recently discovered just how deadly my comfort zone had become -- it was running, and thus ruining, my life, and I didn't even know it.  The familiar had become a unhealthy, but known quantity that crept up on me.  It was a huge dichotomy -- comfort was creating a big pain in my butt, and I had gotten so used to it being there, that I just kept sitting on it unconsciously, complaining day-after-day -- a knee jerk reaction to life's unwieldy circumstances.

Pain can be a comfort zone, just like excuses, because it becomes familiar, like a bad friend who keeps calling to complain and out of habit you answer the phone, as much as you hate the interaction.

Let the pain in your life go, it's ultimately high maintenance.  Try something new or different, take a risk just of for the heck of it -- just to see what will happen -- don't take yourself too seriously.  Maybe you'll be surprised.  Maybe you'll get rejected.  Maybe you'll find love.  But whatever happens, it will be new and move you up out of your current morass, or maybe it will just move your dead ass!  Whatever the case, it will be good for you either way.  It will make life an adventure, and worth living once again.

Payoff?  Your butt will stop hurting!

Inspirational Quotes

This section is devoted to inspirational quotes I've written over the years.


  • "The threads of your life will come together to weave the quilt of your business and life. Positive threads will bring you joy, and the seemingly negative threads will bring life lessons necessary for later events, yet unforeseen. Each thread is necessary, as we are to one another, for creating the greater whole, for who you are and who you want to become."  (2005)
  •   "When you come from a place of perfect peace, you don't find flaws or faults or negativity, you only see that which needs to be transformed into something greater and the struggle to attain that. In a place of perfect peace, compassion replaces self-righteousness, and forgiveness replaces judgement, thereby planting the seeds for continual transformation from both within and without."  (2019)
  •   "The Wise person takes their key weakness and turns it into a strength." (2019)





Note: 
Spirituality is not religious, rather it draws on the many teachings of individuals who sought to improve humanity. It is a, "Take what you like, and leave the rest.", broad brush approach to encompassing a wide range of human experience. My role is neither to foist any one belief system on anyone or create converts. In my writings, I draw on many modalities.

Mid-Summer Mystic Update - July 16 Full Moon

Full Moon & Mercury Retrograde Energies

Tonight! The MOON!! Everyone get out and look at this amazing full moon!  Transcendent!

The Full Moon in Capricorn will be all about balancing the commitment we have to our families and career. Something was building inside us, and now will be the time when the cosmos’ energy fairly demands we let it out. During the following two weeks, we are going to discover what all this means for all of us. We cannot sit on the feelings we have, but we should express them.

This illuminates the conflict that exists between direction and roots. With the Moon, there will be full symbolic illumination happening in our lives. But, these new revelations and feelings will be emotional. It will be the time of expressing ourselves and letting things out of our system.

From the 7th of July until the 31st of July, the planet Mercury is in retrograde.  If we accidentally email the wrong individual, or things get lost, or every single thing seems to go wrong, think that Mercury is in retrograde.

All manner of communication and plans will be disrupted, so prepare for that in advance.  Now is a good time to meditate, do inner work, as in dream work, and reflect on future goals.


Luna Enlightenment

This day!  This night!   This place!
That I should be here
with you all
Right here!  Right now!
Together
This gift we have together
THIS Moment!
Blending in to the next,
and the next, and the next.
Full Moon SPEAKS!
Asking questions long in to the night!
Together this the time we ALL share together
HONOR it, in each encounter with one another
Without judgment!

The Moon asks us tonight to see all as One shining light!
The Gift of light you bring to the planet Earth,
like the light of the Full Moon,
Bows to be honored.
Honor it!  In yourself.
Shine it on all who see you.
Hang!  Like the moon this night!
A beacon that we should all share in that light together.
One, no separation, no judgment.
Only different angles of the same Light!
Then Enlightenment!

Mysticism & Psychology

The Mystical Arts & Energy Psychology

“Now I realize that it isn’t the miracle that creates the believer. Instead, we are all believers. We believe that the illusion of the material world is completely real. That belief is our only prison. It prevents us from making the journey into the unknown.” – Deepak Chopra

"To know, is not to know."  -- Cynthia Brone

This article is devoted to the Mystical Arts.  The Mystical Arts includes all genres related to spirituality, paranormal, quantum entanglement, divination, astrology, etc.  While we may not always have a scientific explanation for these practices, the mystical arts have impacted many in ways that result in dramatic life altering experiences, that often defy reason. This does not make these experiences invalid.  They are very real.  In recent years, science has come to offer solid empirical evidence for much of what the ancient mystics have known for centuries.

Because science is now validating what us "crazy" empaths have known all along, I have included this section to relay my personal experiences.  In addition, to experiencing planetary fields, I have experienced Cosmic Portals, telepathic links with people I'm in sync with, quantum entanglement synchronicity with groups of people, and most recently, the power of my own prayer to bring about a state of peace in a once violent neighborhood situation I was certain would never abate.  I did not seek out any of these experiences as one would out of curiosity, they simply manifested as I blithely bumbled along trying to follow a spiritual path of nonjudgment, while trying to develop the inner peace I so desperately sought in my outer reality.  Never the less, I have lived to see the outward manifestation of my spiritual practice (or the pain from the lack of, as well, as it so happens that I am also flawed) and I can say unequivocally that we are all connected by an invisible net of energy together; and that WE CONTROL the quality of our contribution to that net by the state of our inner being.

Now none of this is easy, and it takes time and practice and effort, and sometimes the gnashing of teeth, but I can assure you that if you spend the time to develop the rock of inner peace and nonjudgment within, eventually over time it will begin to impact those around you, like the wind eroding the mountains.  And this my friends is what it means to be TRULY FREE.  I highly recommend reading Dawson Church's, seminal book, "Mind to Matter", as a jumping off point if real peace is what you wish to create.

Why I Created Living Large Coaching

Living a Miraculous Life
 
I created this blog as a self help resource and tool for others to share what's worked for me in living a miraculous life. If you need help in doing that, I am all up for supporting you in that endeavor.

The concept and philosophy behind this venture stems from this simple truth:

"If you are lucky enough to wake up today on this side of the grave, I urge you to, "Live Large". This means living an unforgettable life beyond your wildest dreams …

Forget yesterday's woes, petty grievances, and where you might have gone wrong. Instead, find the forgiveness for yourself and others to move beyond a small life and find your deepest passion -- that place inside that moves you so deeply, so passionately that you can't stay away from it. Then cultivate that prompting and share it with the world so that others may help you, for they, too, yearn to live their dreams. The daring comes from learning to take the risk, to believe that the Universe will support you, and that yes, you are worthy of great love and a life so large that it changes the world, one star fish at a time."

Do you dare to dream?

Are You Creative?

The price you will pay in this life for being both highly intelligent AND sensitive is that you will NOTICE EVERYTHING and FEEL EVERYTHING all the time, right away, all at the same time.  It is a both a blessing and a curse.  Your journey in this life is to capture your keen intellect and empathy and contain it so that first, it serves you, and then humanity, so that you don't go stark raving MAD.

The world will always suck to one degree or another, just keep moving toward the light, and don't take yourself too seriously.

It's A New Year, A New Day, Every Day

The Power of Poetry

I'd almost forgotten about this blog and writing. Until my neighbor Gerry's death on 12/10/10 when I wrote the eulogy for his funeral. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

When something comes naturally, it's easy to take it for granted. Writing comes easily to me. So ... I tend to overlook its power to touch others and make the world a more pleasant place.

I say this because Gerry's family was so grateful for the parting eulogy and poem I wrote about their father. They could not have expressed themselves so soon following his death -- steeped in shock and grief, the poem relieved them of the terrible burden of trying to find something meaningful to say  (Gerry's poem to be posted soon).

My words also validated their father's life in a way no one else could have. I wasn't family, and our experiences together showed them a perspective about him they hadn't seen before that left them with a sense of closure about his life.  Any transgressions Gerry may have committed were erased in my parting words about his life and our neighborly friendship.

So in reflecting on Gerry's passing this year, I've decided that I'm done with things that are really hard. Meaning - people, situations and circumstances that are high maintenance, draining, or too much darn work. Life is too short for high stress living. That's my New Year's resolution. To make my world an easier, gentler place to live in.

I hope this blog and my work do the same for you.  People need to hear words that touch their soul.  Read about my life, my stories, my words and experience, and come away with a sense of renewal, a fresh beginning - every day can become New Year's Day any time we choose.

What on Earth is Energy Psychology?

What on Earth is Energy Psychology?
(Or, Why Putting Out Love vs. Fear Matters)

Energy Psychology is the upcoming frontier in energy healing modalities.  It involves healing the body at the cellular, molecular level and is heavily influenced by strong emotions.  The kind of energy you put out and take in, negative vs. positive, matters way more than you may care to think.

Expert Evidence Review - George Norry Interview w/ Dr. Jill Blakeway, 4/3/19

Dr. Jill Blakeway, author, Energy Medicine, The Science and Mystery of Healing, holds a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist, and is the founder of the Yinova Center in New York.  She discussed the science that supports the effectiveness of healing techniques used to diagnose and treat illness by manipulating the vital life force (referred to as ‘’qi’’ in traditional Chinese medicine) that pulses through cells.

She has studied traditional Chinese medicine for many years and says that she has become so adept at being an energy healer that she typically only uses "probably about 10" needles for her patients in therapy.

Blakeway described the energy coming from the hands of practitioners of such traditions as qigong or reiki as electrical and that it can be measured by instruments.  She described this energy as "100 times stronger" than that produced by the human heart.

Blakeway also described the work of Dr. William Bengston, who in the year 2000 first performed experiments with mice to see if cancer could be affected by energy healing techniques.  The mice, which were supposed to die in 27 days if untreated, "all survived," even though some of the experimenters who participated in the hands-on healings were extremely skeptical.  She has also participated in studies with random number generators which appear to produce less random streams of numbers when she and other healers concentrated on them.

***  She said that "love and compassion and fear" as strong emotions seem to affect the randomness of the number generators the most.  ***
______________________________________________________________

This is huge.  For good or for ill, the kind of atmospheric emotions we surround ourselves with and put out impacts our lives way beyond what we can see.

When we heal our inner being, i.e., our negative emotions and trauma, and focus on love instead of fear, we significantly enhance our ability to create peace from the inside out.

This stuff really matters.  It's not a game or some feel good plethora of platitudes. It seems there is a 4th dimension to tap into - an unseen, invisible net of quantum energy that connects us.  What we continually focus on manifests in mysterious ways.  As an individual, you matter to the world.  When we heal ourselves, we heal the world around us. Let it begin with me.
