What My Friends Think I Do

2012 Road Trip Check-up Continues!

“Thank you so much Barbara! the Healing was mind blowing & the music was really excellent! I don’t know how to express how I felt at that moment , it was out of this world… Truly Majestic I should say. I felt a lot of deep shifts taking place, something I could feel behind my head almost buzzing, a warm feeling in the end. Thank you once again for your contribution to the Healing you gave for Roadtrip 2012. Please accept My  warmest heartfelt thanks.”

“Thanks Barbara for the road trip! It took a few days for the energy to settle… Definitely an awakening & clearing.”

“Wow!!! This gift you gave us was so incredible. It shifted some things that have been stuck for a long time. Amazing !!!”

“Yes – get it! It was wonderful. I honestly believe that since the experience that all my corrections are fuller and deeper, and therefore faster. Before – I felt them as little bleeps in my throat – now, I feel much larger waves of energy around my whole body and the bleeps are only there in the background if I tune into them. Thank you again, Barbara, and I too keep listening – only to fall asleep at the end.”

“Interesting I feel very powerful but vulnerable at the same time. Soft and strong”

I too was moved by the session. Feeling it was one of the most extraordinary sessions I’ve ever experienced. Gratitude is pouring out of me like a waterfall.

I’m allowing the replay to be available through September 26 so you don’t miss out on these incredible waves of energy.

Guidance

When I meditated on the word guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky. When one person relaxes and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word guidance. When I saw “G,” I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i.” God, “u” and “I” dance. God, you, and I dance. This statement is what guidance means to me. As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

Thanks go out to Harroll V. Chisom for sharing this with me.

You are Brave Enough

…“you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself….then truth will not be withheld from you.” Or so I’ve come to believe.”

This is a quote from the movie “Eat, Pray, Love.”

What I Did Over Summer Vacation

It’s that time of year. Childrens’ summer vacations and camps have ended. They are back to school writing essays entitled “What I did During Summer Vacation.”

I too went to camp this summer. Enlightened Warrior Training Camp. But, unlike children who look forward to camp I was like Garfield the Cat on the window – arms and legs extended out to block myself from being pushed through the door. I was having a quiet, and sometimes not so quiet tantrum, whining “I don’t want to go!!!!!”

The “I don’t want to go” began nine months ago, when I first signed up to attend Warrior camp. I knew it was going to be in a form that wold take me out of my comfort zone. And, being a person who likes to avoid emotional as well as physical pain the last thing I wanted was to go out of my comfort zone. However, the true part of me knew I HAD to do exactly that. The true part of me thirsted for the transformation. Frikin’ true me! But, man… look below at the things we were going to learn there. How could I not want that?

WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO LEARN
• How to consciously observe yourself so that you respond to circumstances from choice instead of reacting from conditioning and habit.
• How to tap into your intuition and know when it is giving you direction.
• How to move gracefully with the flow of life instead of struggling against it.
• Simple secrets to peace and happiness in everyday life.
• How to create “focus with balance” in your life.
• How to avoid struggle and overwhelm.
• How to expand your ability to concentrate and stay focused.
• How to dance between your body, mind and spirit in everyday life.
• How to quiet your mind and attain inner peace.
• How the “process of manifestation” works from our inner to our outer world.
• That you are greater than you “think” and that you can be and do much more than you ever imagined! You will finally get to meet the “real” you.

As it is with all the Peak Potentials seminars and camps we never know any of the details beforehand. The reason for that is because the camps and seminars are so experiential if we knew in advance what we’d be doing, well, heck, we might chicken out and not go. Like when I was checking out the website of the ranch the camp was at. On one of the website’s pages there was a photo of a log to walk across about 20 feet off the ground. I didn’t know if we were going to have to do that. Part of me said of course we aren’t doing that because there’s a picture of it on the website and because Peaks courses are so hush hush they would not allow that photo to be up there if we were walking the log. The other part of me freaked out that I was going to have to walk the log. I was more scared seeing that log than when I was only imagining what we might be doing.

So, now I’m getting closer and closer to the camp date and I’m getting more and more freaked out. I decided it didn’t matter if we were walking the log or not. I would use that as a symbol of the scary things we would be doing. I began to do energy work on myself to clear my fears and get me to where I saw walking the log as something easy and enjoyable. It took me several weeks to go from freaked out to excited. Thinking about the deepest transformational exercises at the other Peaks seminars I’ve been to that were so multi-dimensional, that helped me get excited. I wondered what kind of unique approaches they would be using at Warrior Camp.

I also remembered how I used to be afraid of spiders until I became a mom and had to defend my children against the evil spider crawling up their bedroom wall. In one instant I went from afraid of spiders to a superhuman spider killer and protector of children. That made me realize I could move from fear to courage in a split second. So, at warrior camp, if there was something fear inducing that I had to do I would simply think of my children being there and I would be the role model, leading the way so they would see how easy it was, that they could do it too.

The day before I left for Warrior camp, when watching some Rob Riggle stand up comedy on TV about Riff-Raff Airlines he said repeatedly “That’s how I roll.” Now, Riggle is a big guy and a former marine. When I see him I see a warrior. He’s been through a warrior camp much more challenging than the one I’m about to go to. When he says “That’s how I roll” you know not to mess with him. He says it with the grounded confidence I want to tap into. He exudes warrior vibe from every cell of his body.

So, to anchor in that I’m a role model AND the confidence of Riggle’s “that’s how I roll” I found a small river rock to keep in my pocket at camp and painted onto that rock “THAT’S HOW I ROLE.” Finally, I was mentally prepared for Warrior camp.

The 5 days were AMAZING! It was challenging physically, mentally,
and emotionally as well as, surprisingly, spiritually expanding.

On the first full day, half way through the main exercise for that day, I had a breakthrough realization that instead of being other centered, and focusing on being a role model for my children, that I am a role model for myself – that’s like the little me being afraid and the big me leading the way “don’t fear little Barbara, big Barbara will demonstrate to you how to get through this confidently.” By shifting my focus from doing the work for others to doing the work for myself I regained energy. I felt fuller and decluttered.

Each of the daily main exercises was challenging in different ways, clearing crap, bringing profound personal realizations and deepening my connections through the support the members of my “tribe” gave to each other. Sometimes I was the one receiving support. Sometimes I was the one giving help and guidance. In one exercise done with a partner my partner and I looked deeply into eachother’s eyes silently speaking “I’m 100% there for you AND I’m 100% connected to you. We were so locked in to each other it felt like we had unlimited ability. After the event was over we said to each other “wow, we were rock stars!”

In another event I stopped short of complete. My mind and spirit were willing but my body was saying “we’ve left the building.” My teammates were cheering me on and  I did not want to disappoint them but I knew I had to stop or I would hurt myself. My body could not do any more. The next day one of my teammates told me how inspiring that was, that I was courageous enough to admit what was true for myself, though it was not what the group wanted for me.

To be on the other side of all the challenges is nothing short of exhilarating. Knowing that I am a frikin’ incredible person who can do way more than I imagined as well as stand up for myself though it’s an unpopular position, is the most deeply empowered I’ve ever felt.

Final evening of camp with Aaron G from my Tribe

As I walked back to my cabin for the last time I was sooo glad the intensity of the 5 days was finally over. I would get on the plane in the morning, catch up on some much needed sleep and relax. I wondered how different my regular life would be when I got home. It turned out I got to find that out sooner than I expected.

When I boarded the airplane to go home I surprisingly discovered my seat was in an exit row. I took a big gulp and said out loud “no, no, no, no, no!” I did not want the responsibility that came along with sitting there. I sat down because I knew before the plane took off the flight attendant would ask me if I was comfortable handling the exit door. I could switch seats then. Then I “woke up” and thought to myself “Sheesh Barbara, you just finished warrior training camp where you became more confident in your leadership skills, and you don’t think you can handle the exit door? Suck it up princess! You’re in this seat because you CAN handle it! You are being given a gift by being in this seat. The universe is telling you that you can handle this and maybe you’re the best prepared person on this plane to handle it.” That made me feel pretty good.

A few minutes later two big guys came up the aisle, stopped at my row and looked at their boarding passes…. turned out I had misread the seat numbers and my seat was really one row forward. The flight attendant came while the men took their rightful seats in the exit row and I moved to mine. He asked them if they were comfortable sitting in the exit row. They said yes and then the flight attendant said “If for some reason you aren’t she’ll (pointing to me) help you.” Knowing that was absolutely true, I laughed, the attendant laughed, and the people in the row behind the exit, who heard me say “no, no, no, no, no!” laughed.

Once in the air I recalled how I had chosen this particular flight so I wouldn’t have to take a tiny 20 seat plane. A few years ago I released my flying fears but flying in a tiny plane was still an issue for me. I wondered if the processes I went through at warrior camp changed that. So I thought about being on the ground in front of a tiny plane with someone standing there inviting me to get in the plane. My immediate thought was “Bring it on!”

The next surprise came during a 2 hour layover before my final flight home. Usually during these layovers I’m bored, tired, and probably having some negative thought about how sucky it is to have a 2 hour layover. I started to go to that place but what immediately came into my head was a firm “What is your objective? – – – To get home.” Suddenly everything else disappeared. I became laser focused on my mission to get home. My energy level increased, I had less muscle stiffness and my attitude was positive. Though I was operating on about 3 hours sleep I stayed alert and focused all the way home and into the evening.

A warrior does everything at 100%. When I got home I followed through on that. This is what I wrote on Facebook the next day: “I am a warrior. A warrior does everything at 100% Today I am sleeping 100%. A-HO!*” And that’s exactly what I did.

I Am Totally Receiving

Recently, in a tree right outside my bedroom window I discovered a nest with newly hatched baby birds. I got to see them poke their cute little heads up when the mom came back with worms for them.

A few days later I took another look out the window to see how things were progressing. I saw two non-moving, eyes closed, mouths open baby heads laying across the top edge of the nest. My first thought was that they had died. They sure looked dead. Then a somewhat strong breeze blew and one of the birds closed its mouth. So I thought, well, maybe they are alive.

Ok, that was yesterday. I just looked out the window again and all the babies were sitting in the nest with their heads up, mouths wide open, expectantly waiting for food.

Those sleeping babies yesterday probably fell asleep while their heads were up, mouths open waiting for food. I thought to myself, “Whoa, am I that committed about the things I desire to receive?”

Neptune: Healing the Waters

Neptune addressing the June 1, 2010 Ashtar teleconference:
“I AM Neptune, and I come before you with honor in my heart. Yes, I weep for my kingdoms of the sea, and I have with me the representatives you just heard; the dolphins and the whales, and we stand together to greet you as One with us. And we feel your hearts opening even bigger, even wider, even more, and we ask that you join with us in this sacred ceremony of love and healing. And as we visualize together, reach high, Beloved Ones, reach high. Join with us and see the great light at the end, because that is what we are calling forth.
“Yes we know, you have seen what is happening to the waters of the Gulf which is, after all, connected with all of the oceans in the world. And we want you to know that also with us are our representatives of all of the other waters of the world, from the rivers and the streams, the little babbling brooks, the lakes, to the bays, the gulf and indeed to all of the oceans. They come together with you, with us and we stand together now to bring forth the Love that we share with each other. And yes, as we look out over the waters and we see not just the Gulf, but all of the pollution everywhere, we say together Ho’oponopono, Ho’oponopono, Ho’oponopono. These words of forgiveness and Love come from the island kingdom which lives again. That land you call Lemuria. And we clear the way with that, and now if you will as we have all been invited to do, let us move into a place on the ship called the New Jerusalem, and let us stand before the windows, and let us see the waters of the Gulf of Mexico below us.
“Gaze upon the waters as they were before this leak happened, imagine all of the beautiful colors, the turquoise, the crystalline blues. See the dolphins swimming and jumping with joy and the whales that come to that particular region. See all of the fish, from great big marlins and swordfish, to little tiny babies swimming together in the waters. See all the other marine animals swimming, the Gulf teeming with life, teeming with Love. Yes there have been other desecrations but for this purpose, see the waters pristine. Now see all of the great light from the sun that shines and causes the waters to sparkle even more. See the great crystals, there are many, but see the one, the portal and the great crystal beneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. See the birds happily flying, finding their food. Mother Gaia has done a wonderful job of providing for all! And yes, there are some creatures in that area who may not be friendly to humankind but nevertheless they have their place there. See them all. See the beautiful beaches. Perhaps there are some shells or some creatures living in the shells upon those beaches. And there is wondrous plant life so special for the area. Trees, flowers, beautiful green plants. And see the people happy with their brightly-colored towels and equipment and bathing suits and umbrellas and picnics. See them sitting on the beaches even after the dark, and the stars that light up the sky. And there is one beach in particular which has so much light because it is actually formed a crystal, but all of the beaches sparkle, and all is happy and joyful there.
“Now, keep that vision within your hearts, Beloved Ones. Keep that vision within your hearts, and now fast forward if you will to this moment and see what is there. See the oil, see the chemicals under the waters, and yes, see the devastation. No, don’t turn away. Look upon it and see what has taken place there, the results of the chemicals and the oil itself, and you can perhaps feel a bit of negativity as you focus upon the scene. We ask you to do this, Beloved Ones, with courage, and with empowerment, because now we are going to say together an exercise, and as we do so, we will literally be returning to that beautiful vision that we all shared. You may see it come just in the corner of your eye, and start literally seeing the results of transmuting and transforming all of the devastation back to restoration of the beauty, of the health, and of the lives of the Gulf. And if you choose to see some happy boaters in the water, that is wondrous indeed. Perhaps sailboats which do not use any of the fossil fuels would be appropriate. Put yourself in one of those if you wish, Beloved Ones, as we do this transformation. So take some breaths, take some breaths. Lift yourselves up in compassion now, as you survey the devastation, and if you will, if you will, say after me this healing, this healing exercise bringing peace back to the waters and to all of the kingdoms represented in the Gulf of Mexico.

“I stand in my Light And I know that I AM Divine
And I see what carelessness, inattention and lack of caring has brought
And I say to all involved, I forgive And I shine my Light of Love upon you
And I call forth The forgiveness of all of the kingdoms’ members
Who have suffered in this tragic disaster.

“Now see the waters starting to clear – forgiveness is the first step, Beloveds, and we shall continue. Start to see, wave your hands if you wish, move them over the waters, let the light pour forth and say:

“I bring the Light Of the Love I AM To the entire Gulf of Mexico
And I see The clearing, the transmutation beginning
And I call forth the Violet Light And I wave it over all of the waters and all in the waters
And I say, Beloved Ones, I AM One with You, I hear your call
And I myself call forth the miracle of healing And in doing so
I become We, And We are One, And we call forth the peace
That divinity’s knowledge Empowers us to do
For we are Divine And we co-create this healing
Together as One.
We bless and thank The spirits, the loving souls who have given up their physicalities
in order to call the world to this healing
And we give thanks and gratitude To all who join with us
in this moment and all to come
And as the waters become cleansed and the life comes back
Mother Gaia says thanks to all that her kingdoms may thrive
in the cleanliness and the purity of this divine Gulf of Mexico.

“Together, Beloveds, we have empowered this cleansing and we invite All to revisit this pristine, this cleansed, this healed body of water and all of the bodies now swimming happily in these waters. And together we have said, ‘We Are Divine and we are empowered to make this so. And so it is.’ And so we are together in Love, in joy and in peace of healing.

“Now, Beloved Ones, I, Neptune, step forward with the dolphins and the whales and all of the creatures of the sea and the shoreline, and we say thank you for this, this healing. Beautiful you are, and bright your lights shine and together we have brought this so. So when you look upon the waters of the Gulf, it’s as we have transmuted them. See them as pristine, full of life, full of light, full of Love, because we came together and we co-created it so.

“So I, Neptune, salute you on behalf of all of the waters and all of the water kingdoms of Planet Earth, and here is Mother Gaia herself offering her thanks, her gratitude and her Love to you. Open your hearts even more and allow it to come in, and let the waters of the Gulf, clean, restored and healed, wash through your beings. And know that in this moment, in this time, and in all that is to come, we have co-created healing here. And the waters shall heal because you’ve already made it so, and it shall come into the third dimension because you brought it forth. And so we thank you and we say to you, come together in communion, divine beings in human bodies. We welcome you to our Kingdom of the Waters. And so it has been created and so it is. We Are One. Namaste.”
