WOWZA…we can have some interesting energy patterns move through us intending to serve as a message. When I was in New York, 3 years ago, I didn't listen to my intuition which told me that a New York experience was not intended to serve me. You see, when I'm on vacation, I like to be near a beach, complete with lounge chair to park my hiney and then move from the chair to the water. This back and forth wave from the chair to the water is exactly what appeals to my soul .

Having said this, while in New York, I encountered an energy system that was designed to communicate where I was out of agreement. In this getting bounced around as if in a dryer effect, I learned so much about always setting the intention to serve me.

Before we can unify with an energy pattern of the dryer kind, we will first encounter contrast or separation identifying twoness. It's asking us to look at it, heed its message and then create light around it so that it can become oneness with that which we are.

We are a spiraling energy pattern and in each moment there are energy patterns intending to move into our orbit. We then interact with the energy patterns in a fun, loving way or get banged around the dryer way. We get to decide how we're going to move with it.

And remember, it's all inside us. Thus, using energy techniques to help us makes sense. It isn't about taking action as we're used to doing by just moving away from it as wherever we go, there we are. It will surface again until we look at it, and understand its message.

Think about this. If I looked at the experience of New York, and blamed everything that happened on the people of New York and said it was a terrible place to go, I wouldn't have learned the message it served for me. My intuition, my energy guidance system, knows what is most appealing for me….when I choose to listen .

Receiving and giving are cycles of truth, and when we allow ourselves to receive, we actually set up a dynamic vibration for our desires to be in resonance. We've heard of a model that you must give in order to receive. With this said, I'm actually hearing that a new model is emerging, and creating space for receiving enhances the cycle of truth.

When you allow yourself time in meditation to receive the essence of who you really are, you then automatically give as it completes the cycle. This flowing essence is filled within, and then flows out as the continuous flowing message of truth. I receive truth, I give truth. These wonderful messages that we receive from the beings all around us are intended to be given to others for them to receive. In this way, we keep the cycle intact.

Interesting to note that people who channel set aside a huge amount of time to receive the energy as it feels so good. Thus, you know that if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to hold the energy that wants to be known.

It's like you're hooking yourself up so to speak to an IV of truth, and truth naturally has to flow through you, and then from you. Thus, this cycle of truth, this light of who you truly are, keeps receiving and giving. And in this flow, you naturally give from where you started from as the receiver of essence from many eons ago. If you were to look at it from a special camera, you wouldn't be able to distinguish receiving from giving as there really is no starting point and no ending point.

When you're hooked up to your IV of truth, you may want to incorporate music. Just choose music that resonates with you, with your essence.

You may be served by setting aside time each day to "hook 'em up." Then your truth gets spoken on a regular basis as when you engage in any conversation, you are communicating from the place from which you received. Just make sure you put your "receiving room" sign on the door so that the "distractions" won't interrupt your IV solution .

What an interesting title, right? It stems (no pun intended) from a neighbor's flower garden, and in that flower garden is a sign, "Grow Dammit." And I always laugh when I walk by it, but it brings up some valuable messages.

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.

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't want to serve as the judge in looking at those roses as to whom is blooming and who isn't. And how was I going to facilitate a faster growth .

This serves as a metaphor for our lives, and one in which I just have to stop and smell the roses . When I have been judgmental and hard on myself, it's because I believe that my growth should be something different. I haven't recognized my own blooming phase, and realize that I'm where I am, and I'm beautiful. These roses were delivered to me with an underlying message, and one that I am fully embracing.

Thus, maybe you can benefit as well. When you hear that internal voice that says, "Grow Dammit," realize that it's your own ego, your own physical mind, that wants you to be somewhere different. Yet, that somewhere different doesn't exist. With this said, you can quiet the mind, and says, "It's okay. I love where I am, and my blooms are beautiful." And then laugh because it feels good.

May you recognize your own growth, your own stage of evolution, and that it's absolutely perfect. By the way, I like you being part of my bouquet.

You're probably familiar with the phrase, "God's Timing," and it can certainly bring up some stuff can't it? We can'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 . And the right timing can occur right now when we let go.

You know, our physical mind gets so caught up in clock/calendar time that it can't see anything else. With this said, we have lived this way since time began . that it's difficult to break this habit, isn't it? We can bring balance into our experience so that we embrace more of God's timing, and it's this balance that will allow things to unfold naturally…and much quicker.

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.

You may have been living in the physical mind's concept of time, and taking time to move into the belief of God'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.

We cannot know the reason for everything as we're relying on our physical mind to tell us, but the physical mind wasn't designed to know. Thus, the higher mind (God'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.

Enjoy allowing your new belief, and just practice each day by simply accepting that you're the best version of yourself right now. You're learning a new frame of reference for being, and it's good to have patience. This certainly is a practice for me as well. I'm just practicing right along with you .

If a session with me sounds yummy to release some things that don'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'll give you the "yummy" discount.

It's my pleasure to serve you…..

Are you familiar with Pollyanna? She was the girl who coined the phrase, "Let's find something to be glad about, no matter what our circumstances." I had such a fascination with her message, and tried to mirror her in all my life…until recently.

I realized that I was subscribing to a way of being that says, "You must always look for the better feeling place." Now, when I took this sort of philosophy on and "wore" it faithfully, there were also many emotions that I pushed down because I am Pollyanna. Fear, discomfort, anger, frustration…any of these emotions I deemed unworthy of the representation of Pollyanna.

Heard of the phrase, "ticking time bomb?"

What happens when emotions, which are pushed down, don't get the opportunity to be expressed? Yup, they burst! And this means many variations can happen that support these expressions. In fact, it can feel like you've been hit by a truck as the intensity is so strong .

Thus, in the last few months, I've been with all of these emotions, and although it's been very scary of the wicked witch kind, it's also been very enlightening. I've opened up a vortex, building a relationship with these emotions, and learning from them.

Using EFT (emotional freedom techniques) is very helpful to assist in the process. It's like EFT is your Vanna White, your assistant, to open up communication with every emotion that has been stored for safe keeping until such time the burst happens. There are many stow aways from childhood that simply want to be expressed. By the way, I got the term "stow away from childhood," from my good friend, and EFT colleague, Paul Zelizer…thank you, Paul.

Let's go through a simple process now…….

Even though I feel like I have to be perfect, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I haven't allowed all emotions to be part of me, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I have not enjoyed these emotions, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

When you allow ALL emotions to be heard, seen, felt, you are allowing all to simply be. It means you're including, not excluding, everything. Because everything is meant to be in your experience for your learning. When you learn to be with it, and merge with it, then "it" can actually dissipate because you're choosing the path of least resistance.

If you choose to allow me to assist you with EFT, I will provide the "Pollyanna" discount. I liken it to helping you shift your PMS (Pollyanna Mastery Syndrome) .

Don't you think that trust is at the core of everything that we do? When we're fearful, when we're worried, when we're frustrated, we're not trusting in the flow of life. Oh, can this cause a lot of pain….yikes!

Recently, I had "trust" staring at me right smack in the face, and I want to tell you about it. My boyfriend and I were in down town Portland, Oregon visiting with some friends. When we got in the car to drive home, which is about a 3 hour trip, we weren't sure how to connect back to the Interstate.

Here's the conversation that ensued….

I quickly offered an opinion, "I think we should go this way," and pointing my finger in the opposite direction we were going. "I truly believe it's back that way." And then another opinion quickly flared up, "You have no idea where you're going. Why would you say you do, but you really don't." What was so interesting is I was aware of two differing opinions within myself, and I caught a glimpse of the dialogue. The talking head at its best .

As I was with these two opposing opinions, I silently tapped with EFT, "Even though I don't know where we're going, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I think I always have to know, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I don't trust the Universe or my boyfriend right now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself." It was a silent, sacred moment to allow these opinions to be known and cared for, and to help them not be at war in my head .

Then the floodgates opened….

After I did this round of EFT, the tears just flowed through me as I realized all the times I haven't trusted, and thinking that I KNOW all the answers when I really don't. Oh, something hard to admit. When I completely let go, and stopped offering anything, that's when my boyfriend said, "I've found the bridge back to the Interstate." All because I let go and surrendered, "I don't know."

Oh, these are the three most beautiful words in the world…."I don't know." As we begin to be comfortable with not knowing and trusting in it, we have no idea what will show up from the unknown. It's a magical force that automatically gets sent to us…with love attached on a need to "know" basis .

If you desire to have a session with EFT to learn how to unleash your trust of the unknown, contact me and I'll give you the "unknown" discount. And we'll have a blast communicating with the voices in your head .

You know, recently I was talking to my daughter, who is 25 years old. I told her that I didn't allow her to express her feelings when she was younger, and I'm just learning to do this as an adult. I always tried to make things okay, jump in their with a solution, and sugar coat the experience. Thus, she never got to fully express what she was feeling. And when the emotion, the energy, doesn't have an outlet, it stays stuffed inside, only to come out at a later time.

I'm now seeing the bigger picture of what happens when kids don't get to fully express themselves. That energy stays there through adulthood, just looking for an opening. We've heard that reference, "He's a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off." It's because there hasn't been a safe place to express these opposing viewpoints, those thoughts, throughout childhood, and thus, this energy builds and builds until it has to be discharged in whatever fashion it can.

When we safely give children a venue, a sacred space, to release these emotions, we give them permission to be who they are. We don't deny any part of them, and create a boundary of "these are the only emotions that you can display." In this total self acceptance, they learn that all emotions are permissible.

Using EFT, along with a stuffed animal, for children creates a comfortable setting in which to release the emotions, the energy, that wants to come out. Can you imagine having this be a part of the curriculum in schools, and having a space in the classroom to do so? And then carrying that into the home so that full expression is just part of our daily lives.

You could simply show them how to tap on the 8 points, or only a few points, and say something like this:

Even though I'm feeling scared, I'm a great kid anyway. Even though I don't think I can pass this test, I'm a great kid anyway.

These are just two simple reference points for whatever is inside.

We can all totally relate to being children, and not thinking that it was okay to express fear because we just didn't think anyone would listen to us "being afraid." Remember, just simply ignoring it won't cause it to go away. It's there, and will stay there until it is triggered.

Using EFT with children sets up a totally different environment in which to convey that all emotions are healthy when given a space in which to do so. Like Eckhart Tolle says, creating space is the greatest thing we can do for humanity.

Think of the word…EXpress, much like EXhale….needs to come out!

Whew! I have been going through quite the transformation, and a lot of emotion coming up. What I've realized is I've been attaching to, resisting and judging perceived "financial" stuff.

Yet, what I know is that the appearance of "financial" is not what it really is. It's only my mind telling me a story about it, and my reaction to what is, and then continuing the story time in the middle of the night . I mean who wants to awaken in the middle of the night to a scary story? Yikes!

What I haven't been doing is living in the now and being one, being present, with what is, and that's why the "what is or the content" is being perceived as so powerful. My ego has tried to protect me from "feeling" whatever emotion that is there because then I get to create my identity through my ego. My ego needs me to survive and it will stop at nothing to make its existence known.

The ego is not intended to go away, just to stop being the big me, and become the little me. I love Eckhart Tolle's work, and am grateful that my brother, Bob, is on the same path. With this said, Bob left me a message on my cell phone two days ago, and read an excerpt from Eckhart's book, the Power of Now. And it was exactly what I needed to hear…feel the feelings, but don't judge them or label them. Simply feel and allow the emotion to dissolve naturally.

Thus, I've been letting "it" express itself. Being aware of this has helped me tremendously, and I trust it will help you as well.

Here's something that you can use, which has been helping me as well.

Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night with worry? Your whole body feels it, and this emotion acts as if you are dying. You may sweat and have heart palpitations, and it appears very real. It's the ultimate Yikeorama .

You know, I used to wet the bed when I was in grade school. What I've learned is that my body was experiencing a lot of emotion, and it just happened to release it in this way. It wasn't always funny for my sister, who just happened to share a bed with me. Yet I can think of no better way to pay her back for all the mean thngs she did .

When you think about wetting your bed in this way, worry does tend to expel itself all over the place in your bed. If you had a special camera that would be able to capture all the fireworks going on, I'm sure it would display a real "soaking and drenching" of emotion.

I do have a technique you can use, and one you already aware of…..

When you awaken and the emotion of worry is there, allow it to be and just breathe with it. Worry wants to express itself, and by allowing it to do so, and becoming one with it, it will expel itself through a natural process. And pretty soon, the worry has been transformed into peace.

Breathing into whatever emotion is there is the most loving thing you can do. Our ego will want us to hide from our feelings because it wants to protect us. Why do you think there are multiple personalities? Simply put, they are subpersonalities utilized for protection.

Do you know how many times I have abided by my ego and not felt whatever I was feeling? Well, where do these feelings go that aren't expressed? As stored emotions just waiting for an opportunity to arise.

I now am fully expressing whatever I feel, and when I wake up and am feeling worried, I just breathe and become one with it. Really, it's so awesome as when you become one with something, it loses all its "perceived" credibility

What a fun way to bring up a phrase, “Take a Hike,” which is used for us to send someone on his or her way. I would like to use this phrase to send you on your way, which means you’re opening up into a different way of being.

Today, I took a hike. I took a “me” day, and it turned out to be exactly what the doctor ordered, and the doctor is me. Thus, on the prescription pad, I wrote, “Tami take a hike today and notice all that is around you.” And so I did.

Sometimes it's good to be by yourself….

I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to go with me, but he had some other things he wanted to focus on. And so following the doctor’s orders, I packed my back pack with snacks and drinks, and drove to a hiking trail, which I had wanted to experience.

This hiking trail is in the Olympic National Forest, which is about 20 minutes from my house. Having said this, I was a little frightened with thoughts that brought up some self-imposed phantoms of creation, e.g. wild animals. Thus, as I’m opening up to new states of consciousness, I ask myself a question when I’m contemplating fear. I know that I create my own reality and will conjure up whatever images I focus on. So to create a new motion picture in my life movie, I ask, “What do you know?” This allows me to create a different scene as I play the old switcharoo in thinking and feeling differently.

And I know that everything in my experience is enlivened consciousness…..

When I arrived at the park ranger station and paid my entrance fee, I asked the park ranger what the trail would be like for me, and her response was, “You will have a blast!” Hearing this instantly put me at ease for this is exactly what I wanted to experience.

Donning my backpack and my new way of thinking and feeling allowed the trail to open up into harmonic sounds from all the trees, the sacred ground, the birds singing, and especially the rapids from the water. I was the only person on the trail for about 45 minutes, and in this time frame, I experienced a silent reverence for all there is. And I couldn’t have written a better prescription as I began to laugh and dance with everything.

The forest was rolling out the red carpet and I was present in this majestic honoring. I listened to me walk on the ground, which I could actually feel reverberate the sound from my being. I listened to the trees, the wind across my face, and my most favorite was the rapids. This trail had the view of the rapids all along the way, and I was in such a state of awe!

I absolutely love water, and this opportunity to have a view of water every step of the way just made me almost wet my pants J. At lunch time, I hiked down to the water’s edge at my private picnic spot. Listening to the water, and then looking up at the mountain range, I began to cry with the heart-felt feelings of gratitude for all there is.

This “Take a Hike” prescription turned out to be more than I could have imagined. It makes me think that I will write more prescriptions like this. Since I’m the doctor, I know what I need in every moment.

We always know what we need. We just need to help ourselves flip the switch if something is causing us anything different than what our Source Energy feels. If I would have given into this something different with the self-imposed phantom of “wild animals,” I would have missed out on this great experience.

Thus, calm your fears with a brief question: “What do you know? How can I comfort you? What do you need? Do you need a good spanking ” You have all the answers within you, and allowing this dialogue will create the red carpet effect.

Today, write yourself a prescription, and “Take a Hike“…..

Do you ever have a difficult time slowing down….I mean really slow down to the point where you just are in this moment? It feels good, doesn't it?

You've probably had the experience where you feel all over the place and so scattered, right? This is because you're trying to be everywhere at once. Not fun, isn't it?

You know, I'm noticing more and more that I can be living right now. That I can simply enjoy being with whomever I'm with, and not thinking that I should be somewhere else. When I do think of being somewhere else, it is usually because I'm judging myself, and saying something like this, "You should really be marketing your business." And this is scarcity thinking.

When I'm aware of this, I slow myself down, and comfort the aspect of "me" that says I can't just be. It's like comforting a child that everything is okay. We know what being comforted feels like, yet we may not do this for ourselves.

The aspect of me that thinks scarcity is unnatural, and my goal is to simply to return to the natural me who only knows bliss, laughter, fun and happiness right now. Thus, I shift my conscious awareness and comfort the energy and say, "What do you need?" Then I feel like I'm back in my body, and back to the natural me.

Slowing down speeds up our desires….

It does take focus, and it's where all my desires are fulfilled. With this said, the more that I can sustain this energy, the more my desires will happen as a result of my natural being. It doesn't happen because I'm doing something, it happens because I'm being who I really am.

A thought came into mind about a speedreading course, and that we were to embrace hurrying up as a means to get there quickly. Yikes! What a way to exist, and yet it's what we've been taught….hurry up! WOWZA, no wonder things can sustain themselves at the hurry up level.

When we slow down, and enjoy the frequency of light of who we are, we allow the fulfillment company (our Source) to bring in our desires. S…l…o….w….d….o….w….n…and receive all you want, and have fun in the experience of reeling in the aspects of you who just want some comfort.
