Day 9

Today was a big day. I had the Stepping Into Your Potency free into tele-call this evening. It’s actually the start of a 5 week series I am looking forward to teaching. I was feeling excited about this all day since around 200 people registered for the call. My co-facilitator Lauren Mathews and I were still sorting out minor details all day and there was a lot of energy present throughout the day. I did get a little gunked up with all the things going on for the call. Also, I was still feeling a bit of anger or heaviness processing from the yesterday.

Thank goodness I had a BARS session scheduled with Matt Bochsler who is an Access Consciousness Facilitator. I could have managed without the session, but receiving a healing really helped out. From what I have experienced with Matt he has a unique understanding and is well versed in working with the body in a way that creates great shift. He also has really interesting information and awareness about the world. It’s funny because we actually crossed paths several years ago through our time at the Inner Connection Institute, but I don’t think either of us actually remember talking to one another. Matt tends to call me out on the silly limitations I am choosing. Cool! He set up the session outside and it was awesome! Matt tends to follow the energy during the session so you get exactly what you require in that moment. I left feeling ready for my tele-call.

The tele-call was fun, a little nerve wracking, and I felt relieved to have it done. Lauren and I celebrated by doing our “dork celebration dances” and running each others BARS. Later that night I felt some chest tightness and compression on my heart. I asked my body if it was mine and it was not so I returned to sender and it was lightening up. I had a nice deep sleep that night.

Day 8

So today was a little different for me than the previous 7 days. I am actually feeling this undertone of anger and a little low on energy. Yay! I’m taking the anger as an indication some crud is getting kicked up and moving out. I’m having the awareness that the low energy is actually connected with the Earth.

I had my BARS run by Sollena Morginn. She is based out of Arizona and she ran my BARS from a distance. This was a new experience for me and I was not quite sure how that would work since the BARS healing in my mind is all about touching the body. Our session started with a 10 minute phone call where she explained what she was going to do and she asked me what areas I wanted to focus on. She adds her own style and information to this type of BARS session. I really enjoyed her clean and nurturing energy in our phone conversation. She did some clearing on me right then around my topics (skin and money). She then explained we were to end the phone call and she would start giving the healing a few minutes later. I could actually feel my head start to swirl around initially and then I just zoned. I feel like that session is still processing and releasing for me. The distance BARS healing feels very different than the in person BARS. They both seem to create great shifts. The distance BARS seem like there is shift with an integration period. The in person BARS feel more real-time to me with more body acknowledgment. Either way, I would not pass up an opportunity to receive distance BARS or in person BARS.

I’ll keep my awareness going about the integration of the distance session and follow up in the blog with it. A great thing that Sollena followed the session with was a summary email of what she noticed. She also pulled 3 tarot cards and offered information within the email, which was fun to read about.

Day 7

Today I had a full work schedule planned. I had some work from the translation company, freelance design clients, more writing, and doing a test run for the tele-call on Thursday. I ended up working for over 10 hours without getting fried. All that I did today would have normally exhausted me. For the most part, I decided to pay attention to what my body wanted and what schedule of events was easiest. I’m noticing I’m getting less frustrated with the standard work I do for the translation company, but I look forward to letting more “roll off my back”. One cool thing that happened today was I was trying to turn left on a street (there was no traffic light) and there was a never ending flow of on coming traffic not allowing me to turn left. In my head I said, “What would it take for this traffic to stop?”. Well, the three lanes of traffic stopped for me and I was on my way.

Lauren ran my BARS before bed and I don’t think I totally received all that I could from the session. I was not wanting to put down my computer and receive. I did put down my computer, but didn’t totally receive. I may be hitting a wall of resistance to receiving. Good news! There is always tomorrow! : )

I had the opportunity to reflect back on the fair and my observations were that it was a lot easier than other fairs I have done. I made more money with less effort. I didn’t feel like I was dealing with overwhelming demand either. I also had lots of energy at the end of each day! Plus, I was giving some pretty potent sessions.

Day 6

Wow! I can’t believe this is the 6th day. My sense of time is really different these days. It feels like day one was a long time ago. It’s also been fairly easy to fit the BARS sessions in every day. It’s feeling like it’s part of my lifestyle now.

Today was great. My body needed a little extra sleep after doing the fair all weekend and going to a barbecue last night (in bed by 1:30), but I was up by 9:30 writing for some classes coming up and doing some freelance graphic design work. I started to get a little stressed about how I was going to get everything done, but it was actually very easy. I seemed to have some extra time before meeting up with some friends. We went up to Blackhawk for some gambling and felt very fried by the time we were done.

In the evening, I got my BARS run by Bonnie again at a BARS trade. I was so ready! She focused on a specific point today that helps manifestations come to us more easily. She also incorporated some energy work for the rest of my body. Receiving this BARS session was awesome AND having other tension points in my body worked on felt great. Especially after working on 50+ people over the weekend (I felt like my body was asking for that session!).

 

Day 5

This is Day 2 of the fair and Day 5 of my BARS challenge. Again, I was up late and fell asleep at 2:30 in the morning. This actually is not frustrating for me to go to sleep that late. I’m not in bed trying to sleep, but I’m actually up having fun and getting stuff done. I woke up this morning feeling good and was at the fair by 10 am.

Again, I went over to the Access Consciousness booth to get my BARS run halfway through the day. Rebecca Saltman ran my BARS for almost an hour and it totally changed my reality. I had more energy after our session and even made it out for dinner with some friends after the fair. I’m noticing an intense happiness that is consistent throughout my days. It’s sort of like a natural high that I usually get when running 3+ times a week.

My body wanted to sleep at 1 am on this night. My sleep was very relaxing!

 

Day 4

Today was the first day of the Celebration Metaphysical Fair. I have been needing less sleep. I fell asleep at 2:30 am last night, which it not typical for me. My body was buzzing and wanting to be up and active. So that’s what I let happen. When I woke up at 7:30 am I was ready to go! I’ve been the typical 9 hour sleeper recently. I actually had a ton of energy all morning and when I got to the fair at 1pm I was ready to give some readings and healings!

Half way through the fair I went over the to the Access Consciousness booth to get my BARS run. Kaci Cisneros (local BARS Practitioner 303-993-2642) ran my BARS in a quick 20 minute session so I could get back to my clients. Once the session started I was instantly aware of how amped up my body and energy was from just being at the fair and giving healings. My body and energy quickly started to adjust into a fun and relaxed state. My energy expanded out and I felt great!

I’m beginning to notice how valuable it is, as a healer, to receive healing. I’m having a lot of great awareness about what limits a healing session and what expands a healing session. Being in a space of receiving is also affecting my client healing sessions in very positive ways. I’m writing a lot of this awareness into my upcoming class I am facilitating (Stepping Into Your Potency As A Healer).

 

at the fair

As you may know I have been giving readings and healings at the Celebration Fair this weekend. I’ll be posting the blogs on Monday when I have a mind more able to proofread. : ) I’ve still been getting my BARS run every day and it’s really amazing. Talk to you soon!

Day 3

Well, today was a TON of fun! After doing some work in the morning I attended Cory Johnson’s class on Client Attraction. I had some great insight on priorities during this class and I decided to be brave and get up in front of the 30+ people to speak my message about what I do in my business and have it “critiqued”. I’d say that getting up in a class like that to be critiqued is not something I would typically do, but it was fun and helpful. This is what I came up with to describe what I do: “I work with people who know there is more to this life experience and I assist them in releasing the lies and limitation they are functioning from while moving them towards joy, ease, grace, and anything else they desire”. In the end, this class fried my brain so I was all set to jet off to my BARS session and trade with Bonnie St. John & Lauren Mathews.

On a whim, we decided to do a power packed session where I received BARS from the amazing Bonnie while the amazing Lauren did energy work on my body (they also did some “verbal processing/coaching” on me). Woweee! Those ladies are pretty powerful! Bonnie is a BARS practitioner, BARS facilitator, and massage therapist. I can tell she really understands and connects with a client’s body in a unique way. It’s seems like she is looking into your body when she is working on a specific spot. As if she has x-ray vision. During our time together we laughed, we cried, and we totally changed our worlds. While I was receiving BARS and energy work I was releasing a lot of lies about working, jobs and having my own business. I also recall releasing lies around love and gratitude. There were more topics covered, but I don’t recall what else came up. I got off the table feeling like I had a new body. From there we worked on Bonnie and then Lauren (with a lot more laughter and playfulness). Who says healing has to be quiet & serious? It seems that the laughter in these sessions helped to shift even more. We all agreed Bonnie looked completely different after her session of receiving. Woohoo for magnificent shifts!

Over the next 3 days I’m going to be giving readings and healings at the metaphysical fair. I’m excited to do this while receiving BARS each day since being at the fair can be a little draining. I’m having more awareness about how refreshing receiving a BARS session is and how much my body likes being gifted to in that way.

Oh yeah… did I mention that this is day 3 and it feels like I’ve been having my BARS run for 3 years straight?

Day 2

Wow everyone! Thanks for the support and interest in my 30 day challenge! I’ve had a lot of great feedback. Are any of you doing/going to do a challenge? I’d love to hear about it.

Today was a great day. It was easy to get where I needed to go and I didn’t feel so overstimulated today. I did some work this morning and then met with my friend Lauren Mathews to trade healing/coaching sessions. She coached me through releasing lies around vulnerability, which was awesome! Before our session I was noticing a fresh willingness to be more vulnerable. I also had an awareness today that there is another nice shift happening. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like creating my healing business (clients, classes, opportunities) is easier. I also generally feel happy and excited about life.

For my Day 2 BARS session, I went to a group BARS trade in Denver. Zach Rehder (zrehderm@gmail.com) ran my bars. He is a BARS practitioner. My awareness of Zach is that he is in allowance of what the universe brings him. I see that this contributes to his healing work because he doesn’t judge what’s going on he just stays in awareness and allowance. I felt super relaxed during my BARS session and perceived a lot of energy movement on my forehead. I had a little stomach pain come up while receiving (it went away when my session was over). I’ve had this come up before and I’ve been able to shift it with some coaching. I have a hunch I might be resistant to releasing whatever that pain is. I have not had that pain in a BARS session for 2 months, but in the back of my mind I have been wondering/expecting that it would come back. Silly me… I can see how I recreated that. We will see what happens!

Day 1

This BARS challenge could not have come at a better time. Today I was going non stop from the start and I have a pretty busy week planned. I woke up ill prepared for the day (there were tasks I could have taken care of the night before to ease the rush of the day, but they weren’t on my mind last night). So today was a rush from the start! All day I felt overstimulated and overwhelmed as I was multitasking everything from housework,  to writing and scheduling classes. If I had time away from one thing I was on to the next thing all the way up until my BARS session at 4:00 with Doug Dudgeon. If I had not pre-scheduled this session I would have gone all day being a task master.

During this BARS session I was able to drop that feeling of being overwhelmed. Doug really adds a unique healing experience to his BARS sessions that I can’t put my finger on. For some reason I am able to receive healing on a whole different level from him… it’s not necessarily that I receive “more”,  it’s just unique. I see that he doesn’t “try” to heal. He just lets it happen. Plus, he is well versed in several energy/bodywork modalities.

This 30 days is really about allowing and receiving. How do you measure that? I don’t really know because it can affect anything. I’ve created a list of areas that could possibly shift and listed what I am allowing and receiving in those areas right now.

Work: Clairvoyant, healer, teacher, freelance graphic designer, part-time “independent contractor” at a translation company. (I’m only listing what I did for work in August).

Health: Good. Skin break-outs and stomach aches from time to time.

Weight: 148 pounds. Oh my! – I listed my real weight on the internet.

Relationships: Single and dating. Open to a new fun, joyful, and phenomenal relationship. Friendships are great. Minimal family drama.

Money: Made $3,907 in August (as of Aug. 30th). Debt – Car & $1,100

Desires: Amp up the joy and ease in my life, spread consciousness around the world, attend 3 day body process class in Septmeber, buy a 2011/12 epic season pass, new back country gear, new tires on my car, haircut (have not had time), pay off debt, more travel, and more money.

What’s possible here?
