<p>What a beautiful way to express ourselves when we know we&#039;re communicating at the soul level.  When we do this, we&#039;re able to be guided by the Divine in all our interactions in each moment.  </p>
<p>Think about this&#8230;.</p>
<p>We either communicate from our ego or from our soul, and we know which one is doing the talking.  It&#039;s very obvious, right?  The ego will be communicating from our physical mind, and the soul will be communicating from our heart, from the depths of who we truly are.  <span id="more-376"></span></p>
<p>Before we have conversations with others, we can access their soul and communicate with it.  It may look something like this, &#034;I really appreciate how we can design this new product line and have it be centered around the love that we have for our company.&#034;  In addition, we can converse when there is something painful that is existing, and centering it around love as well.</p>
<p>Our businesses have a soul, our credit cards have a soul, our checking account has a soul, our &#034;commitment&#034; has a soul, all of our thoughts have a soul.  Thus, whatever we&#039;re thinking about, we can stop what is occurring and start the communication from the soul.  Thus, if we&#039;re worried about a bill, we can say, &#034;You know, I appreciate your message.  What I&#039;d like to do right now is transform this into light because we&#039;re Universal servants.&#034;  In this way, it now re-starts the thought, the communication, going on from the soul perspective.</p>
<p>It has really helped me, and I find that perceiving light is not just a rote awareness, it&#039;s actually being felt at my cellular level.  I am being of service in each moment, and serving my soul because this is who I truly am.  I&#039;m not my ego so serving my ego doesn&#039;t make sense any longer.  It used to, and there are still times that my ego shows up, and I just reframe my thinking to reflect more light.   </p>
<p>I hope this helps you.</p>

<p>Well, I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;ve been experiencing some amazing waves of awareness.  You see, I have made a commitment to know my soul so I&#039;m led by it, and hear its messages and my life becomes one of ease.   With this said, I recently had a circuitry alignment and in this session, Gayatri, the facilitator, accesses the Akashic Records in order to allow my soul blueprints to come forth and align in my body.  Our bodies haven&#039;t experienced our soul blueprints in this dimension, and thus, it&#039;s helping integration on all levels.  This was two weeks ago, and I&#039;ve been fully engaged in the follow-up practice so I keep grounding in the experience.  Like I said, I&#039;m fully committed.  My soul is eternal, this physical presence is temporary.  Thus, it makes sense to focus on the eternal side of things for me.  <span id="more-374"></span></p>

<p>Well, I don&#039;t know about you, but I&#039;ve been experiencing some amazing waves of awareness.

My soul is eternal, this physical presence is temporary.  Thus, it makes sense to focus on the eternal side of things for me.  <span id="more-374"></span></p>
<p>When we embark on a journey of awakening and getting to know our true identity, it is done in baby steps.  Many things we are learning, and although we would like to fast forward and just be done with the lessons already, our learning is designed to be cherished in steps.</p>
<p>You know, when a baby is first learning to walk, he or she does so with the intent of &#034;getting&#034; it.  For the sake of simplicity, I&#039;m going to refer to the baby as she.  She starts out crawling and then begins to take a few steps.  She holds on to things until she feels comfortable without support.  She may even fall down and cry out of frustration.  It doesn&#039;t matter how long it takes, she intuitively knows she will walk on her own despite upsets along the way.  </p>
<p>As parents, we don&#039;t yell at her.  We encourage, we clap, we embrace the entire experience for all it&#039;s intended.  We know we are to do this, and we don&#039;t question it.  My daughter was a great teacher for me as she didn&#039;t walk until 17 months.  Having said this, I thought she was &#034;supposed&#034; to walk at 12 months, and became a little frustrated when she took longer.  I mean isn&#039;t 12 months the measuring stick we use?  My daughter was, and still continues to be, my greatest teacher.  How many times have I tried to rush the experience because of my expectations, which were ego related?</p>
<p>If we just translate this wisdom of baby steps to our own walk with our soul, it would be very advantageous.  It takes tremendous courage to walk and be led by our soul.  It&#039;s not something that has been taught.  Having said this, Dr. Sha, who has written several books on the soul, discusses that in 2003 it became the Era of the Soul, and that an opening occurred for us to have soul over matter vs. mind over matter.  The opening is that many people have come so that we may learn how to do this.  </p>
<p>It takes commitment, it takes patience, it takes practice.  The soul communication is very subtle, and communicates from the heart.  If you have decided that this is something which is important to you, then open up into baby steps.  The wisdom is being revealed.  Just take heart, and know that appreciating your every step is contributing to your soul and all the beings of light.  They extend gratitude to you.  You can have the concept of light, but as you keep practicing and affirming the light, you begin to experience light&#8230;.very beautiful!</p>
<p> Just know there is nothing more important than knowing why we&#039;re here.  The only way we&#039;re going to know this is to communicate with our soul at every step of the way.  Be easy about it and have fun.</p>

<p>What an interesting title, right?  It stems (no pun intended) from a neighbor&#039;s flower garden, and in that flower garden is a sign, &#034;Grow Dammit.&#034;  And I always laugh when I walk by it, but it brings up some valuable messages.</p>
<p>Recently, my boyfriend bought me three dozen roses for Valentines from Costco.  They arrived from Columbia in great condition, and are so beautiful.  As I was caring for them changing their water and cutting their stems, I was aware of a deeper message and it has to do with that sign.<span id="more-365"></span></p>
<p>I realized that each rose was at its own stage of development, and no rose was further along than the rest.  They all were included in the bouquet, and I didn&#039;t want to serve as the judge in looking at those roses as to whom is blooming and who isn&#039;t.  And how was I going to facilitate a faster growth <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>This serves as a metaphor for our lives, and one in which I just have to stop and smell the roses <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  When I have been judgmental and hard on myself, it&#039;s because I believe that my growth should be something different.  I haven&#039;t recognized my own blooming phase, and realize that I&#039;m where I am, and I&#039;m beautiful.  These roses were delivered to me with an underlying message, and one that I am fully embracing.  </p>
<p>Thus, maybe you can benefit as well.  When you hear that internal voice that says, &#034;Grow Dammit,&#034; realize that it&#039;s your own ego, your own physical mind, that wants you to be somewhere different.  Yet, that somewhere different doesn&#039;t exist.  With this said, you can quiet the mind, and says, &#034;It&#039;s okay.  I love where I am, and my blooms are beautiful.&#034;  And then laugh because it feels good.</p>
<p>May you recognize your own growth, your own stage of evolution, and that it&#039;s absolutely perfect.  By the way, I like you being part of my bouquet.</p>

<p>What happens when we don&#039;t have a clear connection?</p>
<p>In this video, I illustrate having you draw a picture in what this connection looks like.  It looks like an L-shape coming from the top of the head through the eyes, and then everything we SEE in our reality is being felt from the Divine&#8230;no matter what.<span id="more-361"></span></p>
<p>When we have judgment, doubt, fear, frustration, etc. we will impede the pure connection.  Thus, we won&#039;t be able to see the angelic people the Divine lined up for us.  We will dismiss them as not important because all of this &#034;stuff&#034; will cause a disruption in the power cord.</p>
<p>Utilizing EFT, laughter, play, Ho&#039;oponopono, dancing, meditation, imagination, forgiveness, love and Reiki, we open up the communication lines so that everything we SEE is a gift from the Divine, and I do mean everything.  There is a message in everything, but we will only glean the message when there is a clear connection.</p>
<p>Deepak Chopra explains it this way in his Book of Secrets in an example of downsizing of a company:</p>
<p>&#034;In the operating system of the ego (the thoughts that impede the clear connection) and keeping everything under control, your thinking might look like this:</p>
<p>I could lose the one thing I need to support myself.<br />
Someone else has control over my destiny.<br />
I am faced with something unpredictable and unknown.<br />
I don&#039;t deserve to be blind-sided like this.<br />
I could be hurt if things go wrong for me.</p>
<p>Reframing the situation with a new operating system from wholeness and no blips, your thinking might look like this:</p>
<p>My deeper self created this situation.<br />
Whatever happens, there is a reason.<br />
I am surprised, but this change doesn&#039;t affect who I am.<br />
My life is unfolding according to what is best and most evolutionary for me.<br />
I can&#039;t lose what&#039;s real.  The externals will fall into place as they need to.<br />
Whatever happens, I can&#039;t be hurt.</p>
<p>In the latter operating system, the connection is clear.  Your ego and personality, which give you limited awareness of who you are, is put on notice that clinging and grasping must come to an end.</p>
<p>When you can keep that connection open through whatever means, you open up wholeness which brings a seamless and unified world&#8230;.no matter what you&#039;re looking at.</p>
<p>I trust this will help you, and committing yourself to opening up the new operating system of pure loving awareness.</p>

<p>You may be familiar with Ho&#039;oponopono.  It&#039;s a process created by Dr. Len from Hawaii in the 1980&#039;s.  As a therapist working in a state hospital, he used this process to help heal in him that which he saw in his outer world.  Namely, the patients who were in the criminally insane ward.  <span id="more-357"></span></p>
<p>As a therapist, he never saw the patients.  In his office, he would take out their files and heal in him what he saw in the words printed on the paper.  As he was with their files, he would say, &#034;I&#039;m sorry.  Please forgive me.  Thank you.  I love you.&#034;  Dr. Len kept in mind that everyone, including the patients in that ward, were all creations of the Divine.  They were all perfect beings.  </p>
<p>With this said, if he saw patients as anything but Divine, then he had the problem.  And this is where Ho&#039;oponopono comes in.  It&#039;s cleaning and releasing that which is within us that sees the problem.  By using the four statements, this natural cleaning process will get in touch with our memories that experience anything as a problem.  It&#039;s like we&#039;re calling the Divine on the &#034;bat phone,&#034; and asking for guidance to neutralize the problem memory <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  </p>
<p>I&#039;ve found this an incredible process because when I first started my business, I would label people as their problems&#8230;.oh, she is &#034;self-sabotage or depression.&#034;  When I was introduced to Ho&#039;oponopono, I then created the Roto-Rooter within me and only see my clients as Divine and have dropped the labels.  This has really helped me be a different practitioner.</p>
<p>May you enjoy seeing only the essence in everyone, in everything.  And be sure and use the bat phone to call the Divine&#8230;as He/She/All knows best <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

<p>I&#039;ve had a blast exploring my beliefs, and as I&#039;ve been doing this, I&#039;ve really been cracking myself up.  Some of the things I looked at were my various lotions.  For example, I have tons of night cream because I don&#039;t do anything to my face at night.  Thus, I haven&#039;t used it.  So I thought I would use it during the day&#8230;oh, my!  In addition, I have hand cream and put it on my face, feet and legs.

<p>I&#039;ve had a blast exploring my beliefs, and as I&#039;ve been doing this, I&#039;ve really been cracking myself up.  Some of the things I looked at were my various lotions.  For example, I have tons of night cream because I don&#039;t do anything to my face at night.  Thus, I haven&#039;t used it.  So I thought I would use it during the day&#8230;oh, my!

<p>Oh, the places we go with out silly beliefs&#8230;.</p>
<p>We structure our whole world around our beliefs and definitions, and our world gets created from this structure.  What if you could blow up that structure and begin to shift everything around?  Doesn&#039;t that sound like fun?</p>
<p>I just did this with place settings at the table&#8230;you know, the knife and spoon are supposed to co-habitate, and not have anything to do with the fork.  I put the fork with the knife and they got along just fine.  No one left in a huff&#8230;just pure peace <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Again, all of our world coexists based on the beliefs and definitions we give everything.  Explore being with your beliefs and allow them to be there for simply awareness, and then you can shift that belief if you would like.  You can use EFT to be with the beliefs and just be simply present with them, and then bust &#039;em&#8230;if you like <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Allowing our beliefs to be explored will create &#034;new&#034;-ropathways in the brain structure.  And as we do this, our beliefs will open our world up into a different dimension of the &#034;fun&#034; kind.  </p>
<p>Remember, there is nothing stable and concrete&#8230;nothing!  Everything is energy and when we can just flow that energy in a different way, then our world will transform because the energy is being released into new playgrounds.</p>
<p>If you would like some assistance in busting through your beliefs, then contact me, and I&#039;ll give you the &#034;belief buster&#034; discount. We never know how our world will be transformed, we just know it will.  </p>
<p>Wear your badge of courage proudly, &#034;I&#039;m a Belief Buster!&#034;</p>

<p>You&#039;re probably familiar with the phrase, &#034;God&#039;s Timing,&#034; and it can certainly bring up some stuff can&#039;t it?  We can&#039;t possibly know when that timing is, and when we can just relax and take comfort in the not knowing, then we can allow all the manifestations to unfold when the timing is right <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  And the right timing can occur right now when we let go.  </p>
<p>You know, our physical mind gets so caught up in clock/calendar time that it can&#039;t see anything else.  With this said, we have lived this way since time began <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . that it&#039;s difficult to break this habit, isn&#039;t it?  We can bring balance into our experience so that we embrace more of God&#039;s timing, and it&#039;s this balance that will allow things to unfold naturally&#8230;and much quicker.  <span id="more-341"></span></p>
<p>Here are some tools to use to help create balance, and these tools are utilized for the entire daily experience:   Deep breathing helps to relax your mind and your body, meditation also helps to relax and bring the body back into balance and EFT helps create the dialogue to accept the viewpoints that are there.  In addition, you can take time to laugh and be silly.  </p>
<p>You may have been living in the physical mind&#039;s concept of time, and taking time to move into the belief of God&#039;s timing will help you maintain the balance for all your manifestations to occur.  Our lives are not defined by our circumstances, but by our beingness with those circumstances.  </p>
<p>We cannot know the reason for everything as we&#039;re relying on our physical mind to tell us, but the physical mind wasn&#039;t designed to know.  Thus, the higher mind (God&#039;s mind) is the only one who is designed to know.  And allowing your entire being to embrace accepting this will be a much more pleasurable existence.</p>
<p>Enjoy allowing your new belief, and just practice each day by simply accepting that you&#039;re the best version of yourself right now.  You&#039;re learning a new frame of reference for being, and it&#039;s good to have patience.  This certainly is a practice for me as well.  I&#039;m just practicing right along with you <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>If a session with me sounds yummy to release some things that don&#039;t serve you any longer and embrace a daily plan for that which does serve you, just email me at tamiclose73@gmail.com, and I&#039;ll give you the &#034;yummy&#034; discount.  </p>
<p>It&#039;s my pleasure to serve you&#8230;..</p>

<p>You know, we look at the word &#034;ex,&#034; and it can conjure up all sorts of things related to that word.  Just by saying the tiny word can create something that isn&#039;t appealing, and many humorous statements related to that word as well.  </p>

<p>You know, we look at the word &#034;ex,&#034; and it can conjure up all sorts of things related to that word.  Just by saying the tiny word can create something that isn&#039;t appealing, and many humorous statements related to that word as well.  </p>
<p>Let&#039;s take a different look.  I&#039;m divorced, and have a wonderful relationship with my ex.  What we didn&#039;t know how to create in our marriage, we certainly have learned to create while not being married.  I invited my ex into my life to teach me the things I needed to learn.  I sent the invitation and he showed up.  Now, there were some painful things, but it was exactly the classroom and teacher experience I required to help me &#034;SEE&#034; clearly.  <span id="more-338"></span></p>
<p>When we got a divorce, it wasn&#039;t peachy keen at first, and I had to work through some anger.  Yet, I also kept affirming that I wanted to have a beautiful friendship.  Thus, I focused on what I wanted.  </p>
<p>I remember Wayne Dyer making this statement about anger, and it helped me tremendously.  He said that all anger comes from within, and no one is responsible for your anger.  It wasn&#039;t something I wanted to hear because it was comfortable to blame my ex for my &#034;feeling&#034; bad.  </p>
<p>Wayne Dyer explained this analogy and this is when I really got it.  He said when you squeeze an orange, what comes out?  Orange juice, of course.  It doesn&#039;t matter the device that is used,or the person doing the squeezing, orange juice will always come out.  Likewise, with us, when we have anger that pours out of us, it isn&#039;t the device or the person that does the squeezing.  It&#039;s already what&#039;s inside.  Oh, that 100% responsibility that can be a challenge, but also very freeing, and it depends upon how you look at it.</p>
<p>Take a look at this video that my ex and I did to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our wedding.  And since I had forgotten to post this, and am posting this in December, we will be spending the holidays at our daughter&#039;s with our significant others.  Pretty amazing, right?</p>

<p>How many of you have difficulty sleeping?  I used to have many, many, many restless nights, and it was so frustrating.  I researched many natural aids, which helped for a few nights, and then I was back to tossing and turning and going out of my mind <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Can any of you relate?</p>

<p>How many of you have difficulty sleeping?  I used to have many, many, many restless nights, and it was so frustrating.  I researched many natural aids, which helped for a few nights, and then I was back to tossing and turning and going out of my mind <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Can any of you relate?</p>
<p>What really helps me now is to get in touch with any thoughts, any emotions, that want to express themselves before I enter my dream world.  It&#039;s like they say in wedding ceremonies, &#034;Is there anyone here who opposes this marriage?&#034;  You can switch the words and say, &#034;Is there anyone here who opposes my restful sleep?&#034;  <span id="more-336"></span></p>
<p>So here&#039;s the nighty, night ritual&#8230;..</p>
<p>Before retiring, allow yourself about 15-30 minutes to have your down time, and prepare yourself for pure relaxation.  Sit on the floor, and light a candle.  Take a few deep breaths, and then ask for all the thoughts within you to come forward that would like an opportunity to voice what they have to say.  Usually, there is some unresolved &#034;stuff&#034; that is there, and by simply allowing them to get it all out, you have enabled peace to surround you.  I use EFT to tap on the points while the dialogue is being expressed through me.  I then petition Azna, Mother God, for peace of mind, and I also ask for the things I have requested to be fulfilled.  I envision Azna with beautiful white light, and close my eyes for a short meditation.  </p>
<p>This ritual is a way for the mind to relax and all thoughts that don&#039;t want it to relax to come together in peace and harmony.  We all know the value in full expression, and by doing this simple nightly routine, you&#039;ll have a peaceful, restful night&#039;s sleep&#8230;.the natural way! </p>

<p>Isn&#039;t always interesting that we can hear a message long ago, but don&#039;t quite understand its message. Then as we grow into our spiritual selves, along comes the message again and again, and our ears and whole being is awakened with wisdom and understanding. This keeps happening to me&#8230;.yikes! </p>

<p>Isn&#039;t always interesting that we can hear a message long ago, but don&#039;t quite understand its message. Then as we grow into our spiritual selves, along comes the message again and again, and our ears and whole being is awakened with wisdom and understanding. This keeps happening to me&#8230;.yikes! </p>
<p>When I was really ill several years ago, the energy practitioner I was seeing kept referring to Divine Mother. I didn&#039;t totally understand because I always thought God was a man so didn&#039;t quite do anything with the information. You see, I grew up in the Mormon church, and only had a frame of reference for men being in a higher power. And over the past few years, this message has been given to me, and now I&#039;m understanding. <span id="more-333"></span></p>
<p>You see, I&#039;ve been so out of balance with embracing a masculine presence in my life, especially when starting my business. I became a hunter and gather thinking that I had to do everything, and I attracted mentors, which emulated this position. Hunting and gathering is exhausting! I haven&#039;t really rallied or relied on any feminine guides to help me, and this doesn&#039;t mean female/males. It means I&#039;ve been relying on a total masculine presence in both females and males. Thus, I&#039;ve been getting hit hard with obstacles to remind me to relax, nurture, soften things. </p>
<p>It&#039;s only through obstacles that we&#039;re reminded of the lessons if we choose to see it this way. As I&#039;ve been embracing a more feminine approach to my life, that nurturing is there, and things are flowing&#8230;. Rebecca Marina, who is a wonderful EFT colleague, reminded me of this as she had obstacles in her life. When she embodied the feminine energies, things started to click. </p>
<p>With this said, she refers to a guide called Azna, Mother God. You can petition Azna for anything you want in your life, and she will intervene. Thus, if you are struggling with something, just open up and embrace Azna, honor her and petition exactly what you want. Then thank her for interceeding on your behalf. You&#039;ll be glad to embrace the feminine energy so that you maintain balance. </p>
<p>If you want help in this regard, and to utilize EFT to assist in this connection, just contact me and I&#039;ll give you the Azna, Mother God discount. Then be ready to open up for all the presents coming your way <img src='http://www.tamiclose.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
