Terra Nova - personal & planetary healing

"Wholeness" - Free Toning Download

I wrote last year about how I felt guided to do more toning to shift energy rather than just using breathwork and intention. I can barely believe it's been only a year.  It feels like I've been using toning forever! It's become a major feature of my work, and it's such a flexible and beautiful tool.

I've found that people really like it -- they find it relaxing and it puts them into an altered state, they find it aesthetically pleasing and we've also found that when someone listens back to a recording of their session, the healing intentions are imbedded in the toning in such a way that they continue to get benefit on repeated listenings. People have told me that it's like having another session, and some have listened to recordings of a particular session 10 or 15 times, especially if it's one we do when they are going through an emotional crisis.

My sessions are now usually a blend of intuitive work and toning, with one extreme being an hour of toning and the other being an hour of information but most sessions having some of both.

When I taught the first energy-reading course in the autumn, I found I could tone and shift energy for groups. I used toning to help us get present and connected in a heart-centred way when we did conference calls and group practices. That was fascinating as I discovered I could switch between focussing on the group and focussing on an individual - and the participants, knew when I was doing it! "Oh part of that was for Jane".

I've been experimenting with doing some recorded tonings on specific topics, set with the intention that anyone who listens will receive healing from them (as opposed to my session work that is tailored to an individual at a specific time). This is my first recording and I'm calling it 'Wholeness' because it's focussed on the question "What needs to shift for me to become more whole?" I'm offering it as a free download and welcome feedback.

context links

Just wanted to let you know that I've just discovered that there are random links in my pages that link to amazon products, which I didn't put in myself.  I wanted to add links to books I specifically recommend but somehow I also now have in-text words highlighted and linked to things I didn't choose (although most seemed vaguely related to spirituality and personal growth).  I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of them (which is turning out to be more difficult than I thought) but until them, know that I'm not recommending most of the links you'll find.  (The titles on the sides of the blog are ones I stand behind though.) 

Learning to energy-read

After about a year of mulling it over, I've decided to move into teaching energy-reading.  The format will include:

• One-on-one sessions where I can work on your energy body and coach you in starting to energy-read
  
• Conference calls where I will answer participant questions and speak on specific topics related to energy-reading and healing
  
• Podcasts or audio files with sample sessions that I've done with volunteer clients
  
• Moderated small group practice
  
• Handouts, homework and reading list
  
• Online discussion in a private forum

We are moving

Just a bit of news...I am going to be moving to beautiful Nelson, British Columbia at the end of this month.  It's a town of 10,000 in the West Koonetays, off the west arm of Kootenay Lake and nestled at the base of the Selkirk mountains.  Mothering magazine has named it one of the top three places in Canada to raise children and apparently you can't throw a stone without hitting a healer - I should fit in.  I've been wanting to leave Toronto for a while so a few months ago I energetically scanned North America and came up with Nelson as a good option.  Along with some synchronistic winks from the universe and an easily manifested apartment, I found myself on my way.

I've always lived in big cities but have wanted to live closer to nature.  Now's my big chance! 

wise ways of women

I've been meaning to write new stuff for this blog for a while now but I've been spending lot of my spare time on wisewaysofwomen.com, a site where (mostly) women discuss the law of attraction.  It's a cool community - I especially love that there are lots of mothers on there and we can talk about things like how to manifest the birth you want, or how to apply the law of attraction approach to parenting.  Fun!  I love the internet.

evolving again

I just came back from a two and a half week trip where I didn't work much.  Before I left, my work was beginning to change, but with taking a break, it really had a chance to shift.  So I'm finding that my work has morphed again.

One thing that was happening before I left, was that I was suddenly finding myself feeling more and more drained by the energy healing specifically.  I was guided to move towards toning instead of just using my focus and breath.  I also felt like I wanted to let my mind go more and move into a deeper state of trance, without tracking any information.  I felt less inclined to look for specific information and when I would ask questions, especially the 'what needs to happen for x to occur' type, often I'd get a pure energy shift as the answer, rather than conceptual or intellectual information that I could relate to my client.

I've been letting myself go with this change and the more I do the easier the whole process gets.  The drained feeling has gone and instead I feel mightily calm and whole at the end.  I've been explaining to clients about how I'm working differently and a few have reported results that they thought were awesome, others I haven't heard back from yet - maybe they aren't sure what to expect (I wasn't at first either, but now I know it's working well).  The informational component has been coming back though, which I am glad about.

It seems like my old tools are being retired - like I was trying to lift heavier loads (moving more energy per session) with tools that weren't optimum.  From dial-up to broadband I suppose.  I really have to trust in the 'mindless' these days...it has all the answers!

I did some work on the friend I was staying with one night and it was quite a long session of the new type.  I could feel how  deep in I was and by the end I was in a tremendously altered state, very out of body.  I had the strong realization that the places where I think I am making my life decisions are not where they are being made - it's somewhere completely different.  Now I've had this realization before, but I could see how I'd lost track of that knowledge.  It was very helpful in reminding me to let go of thinking I can control anything from the personality level.

Toning

I took a few workshops in sound healing in 2001 from Simon Heather (he's great) and learned an easy method of using toning to do physical healing.  I guess because physical healing isn't really the thing that interests me, I never used it much after the course was over.  Some of the general principals of sound healing were useful, improving my understanding and my singing, but I didn't integrate any techniques into my intuitive work.   Now it's coming back in a very different way, blending itself seemlessly with the way I have been doing energy healing and getting intuitive information.  It's easily focussed on any issue, which is so interesting to me - I can use the tones to release emotions, beliefs or idea structures, just as I've been doing without it, but the process feels streamlined.  I'm loving it.

Another aspect I'm loving is sometimes getting the sense of a 'song' in someone's energy field.  I start off with plain long tones but sometimes I get guided more towards a definite melodic motif which then causes certain things to release. 

life just keeps teaching me...I'm grateful.

March and April Special

A few weeks ago during a session, I was directed to link someone to the timeline of their best possible future, which isn't that uncommon.  But then I was directed to link them to their best possible present and boy, was that ever powerful.  I was pretty impressed with where that took the energy and so the next day I asked a friend if I could try that out on her.  She said it felt like someone pushed the reset button - and agreed with me about how much it anchored, cleared and opened up her whole system.  Since then, I've played with it a bit more and I really like it. 

So the March and April 2007 special is $100 for the 'best possible present' treatment - $20 off the usual price of $120 for a one hour session.

Special Offers

I've decided that a fun thing to do would be to have special monthly or bimonthly offers where you'd get $20 off a regular intuitive session if it fits the theme.  It might give people some idea of the different ways you can use this type of healing work.  And it will fun for me to think about what topic I might want to focus on and learn about for a short period of time.  Look for upcoming offers where the theme will be 'intimate relationship issues' or 'dealing with your children' or 'career questions'.  As for now, I'd like to start the new year off with:

                      MONEY CLEARINGS!

Most of us can use some help with clearing the channels to receiving, and there's so much baggage around money specifically.  Money too is energy, although we hold so many unconscious beliefs around it that it often seems beyond our control.  A positive future for the planet rests in each of us learning to trust that we are provided for, so we don't act on distorted convictions that we can only get ahead by exploiting others or the earth.

So if you would like some assistance in clearing the feelings and thoughts that stop you from allowing money to come to you, you'll get $20 off the cost of a one hour session (regularly $120), booked during January and February.  Feel free to do more than one - this offer applies to all sessions specifically having to do with this topic, no matter how many you choose to do.  Some of us have more to clear than others ;).

Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2007...

Name Change!

I guess the first piece of news is that I'm changing my business name! I started with the name 'Signs of Progress' almost 7 years ago.  That name really worked for me, but my daughter's birth two years ago was a life-changing event on so many levels - especially a spiritual and energetic one.  I feel like I'm a different person and my work has evolved and deepened.  (I'm still adjusting!) I've been wanting to change my business name for about a year to reflect this feeling. 

The name 'Terra Nova' has come up synchonistically several times over the past few years.  I feel that it contains both the increased sense of groundedness and rootedness in the 'Mother' that I took on through becoming a mother, and also the quality of progressiveness, possibility, and vitality that I associate with energy reading and healing.

The kicker was when I read this Rob Brezny horoscope that is an absolutely perfect reflection of my life. 

"You are far from the sacred places of your ancestors, Aquarius.  The songs of the land that sustained them, the songs that lived in the marrow of their bones, are unknown to you.  But while this sad truth has in the past limited your ability to feel at home on the planet, from now on it will also work to your benefit;  your freedom from the ancient ways will increasingly enrich your spirit.  Already you are tuning in to the fresh songs of the land that will sustain you for the rest of your days.  You are drawing closer to the sacred places of you descendents.  Welcome to the Terra Nova - the new earth."

If you know me, you know how resonant with my reality that is, in myriad ways.
