The Night Before my Father Crossed Over, Some Really Inexplainable Happenings

masquerade ball

I had three distinct experiences the last 48 hours before my dad passed on 5/1/15. Then one really definitive one at the time of his crossing, through my sister’s cell.

Firstly, I was staying at his home and in his bed, while he was in the hospital, because we knew the end of this part of his journey could be very near. That night I envisioned my dad in the hospital room filled with white light. I was doing distance healing and ‘training’ him how to leave his body. We were working on his letting go of the attachment to the body and he would kind of float above it but ‘snap’ back out of like habit, I guess for lack of a better word.

We continued to work as I encouraged him, he was able to lift up and transcend a bit, maybe to the ceiling of the room he was in. I kept saying in my heart to his mind and heart, “Dad, just leave it and lift up! It is really easy! You can do it!”

As this practice was happening the entire hospital became a glowing golden light. All of the workers there really cared about their patients and the love lit up the hospital. Then it glowed white and a sacred symbol enveloped the building.

Later that night I slept. I awoke with such a vivid, lucid vision and an actual feeling of having traveled somewhere. This I was not aware of until now, but I SAW THIS the night before my dad crossed!!! I had this very real experience where I was at this party! Everyone was larger than life, in masquerade and in full on gala mode! It was the most ostentatious event and the level of exuberance and joy was indescribable!

I am now aware, from my dear friend Jessica, who’s son has recently passed over: The Norse people called those who’ve lived good lives and who’ve passed “Einherjar”, which means “the Honored Dead”. They live forever in the halls of the Gods, in Folkvangr with Freyja, and in Valhalla with Odin. Every day and night they celebrate; drinking, feasting, fighting, and loving each other as they watch over and protect their mortal descendants…. celebrate those honored dead… shake the gates of Valhalla, The Dance of The Einherjar!

This was exactly it!

The third experience was earlier that month, my sister and I were pulling in to the hospital. I was in my mom’s old PT Cruiser that I got when she passed. She was in the next row parking. There was a guy smoking standing near the car next to me all dressed all in white. I was already agitated since he was smoking and I did not want to open my door into some nasty smoke. I got out and he looked at me and smiled, and asked, “what is that symbol on your car?” It was the OM! It was a sticker that read I do Yoga 4 Love.net and a huge OM on both back windows. So of course all my walls went down. Just then Denise, my sister walked over. I proceeded to tell him the meaning of this sacred symbol, birth, death, life, rebirth, the primordial sound of the Universe! I was in full excited yoga teacher to new student mode. Then he told us about his wife. She was coming home with him today and he was so happy. He proceeded, she was saved, she almost died and she was still here! She is a miracle and she is coming home. He also mentioned that they were Jewish I believe. Then we shared how happy we were for him, we turned to leave. I don’t know what happened next but he was totally gone. Neither Denise nor I can recall ever smelling cigarette smoke the entire time. Now you know as much as we.

Lastly, the moment before the actual moment Dad passed he stretched on the last breaths, and it turned midnight. It was 5/1, May Day. We were right there and sang the HU as he passed into the Light. Denise got a text and it read ‘Pay the Pilot’. Well we were like WTF? That was so strange and I immediately thought that the Pilot is really the Bug Guy upstairs! She said she used to have a car called a Pilot, but that was gone a very long time before that day! Plus, she never had any reminders for it from her phone.

The other really cool thing that happened at the exact moment he passed was that all his pets came running to him. As you may have known or suspected I see things. Well I SAW all of our childhood pets, and all his pets I did not know, led by Dolly the Dachshund. They were all like “PAPPA IS HOME!!!” The Rainbow Bridge is real. And so special. Pets DO have souls!

So there you have it.

Some really weird and inexplainable shit. So freaking cool.

Spring is a Time for Renewal, Creating Rituals, and My Nana

DSCF4831

Spring is always a time of renewal. I love seeing the windflowers bloom on our property every year. In honor of my mother’s passing people donated to an arbor fund. With the fund we planted peach trees and several pounds of wildflower seeds. Now, almost 8 years later we have almost 2 acres of flowers!

What spring rituals are you creating in your life?

I love Easter, and this time has always been special, as my Nana was such a strong Spiritual leader in our family. For me to connect deeper to my Spirituality I have been doing a raw food fast til sundown over Lent. Giving up something on Lent is one practice that I really connect to on the Christian calendar. My Nana never preached Christianity, she lived it. She was the ultimate church volunteer. She was the most kind hearted, giving person I have yet to ever encounter other than Amma.

I remember ever since I was little going to her church, spending time making table decorations, intricate findings from nature in Colorado. She would craft these natural items into a lovely centerpiece and make tons of them. She would read from her white leather bible when we slept together before going to bed, I saw her get on her knees and pray. She never made me do any of it, but she led by her example. When she passed, just 2 weeks before my mother in April of 2008, I inherited her white leather bible. I really don’t read it, but I do connect to the power of the intention that her prayers and meditations she practiced with this Holy book. It is very powerful.

She and my mom came to me in a special Women’s Ceremony we held on All Hallow’s Eve. She and my mother were adamant about clearing any ancestral anger and behavior. She told me to stop it here and not allow any of it to carry forward. I spent the entire night in meditation. My mother also took care of me, reminding me to cover myself in a blanket and to practice clearing and self care daily.

This spring we will again hold a beautiful space for women on Beltane, this falls 6 months from All Hallow’s Eve. The most serendipitous of this date is that this next circle is the exact 1 year anniversary of my father crossing over, and this is the first circle that my little sister will be sitting with the women.

I am so blessed to have created a lifestyle that encompasses positive living, healthy choices and connection to something Greater than myself.

Want to Get to Your Healthy Weight the RIGHT Way?

If you want to get to your healthy weight using a simple, “common sense” system, there is a RIGHT WAY to do it! Join us for a 30-minute Facebook party where you will hear and see success stories and learn how YOU can experience similar results! With a simple system of lifestyle upgrades paired with cutting edge technology from the Juice Plus+ Company, you can experience your own personal Healthy Living Revolution!

We will share simple, COMMON SENSE WAYS to get to your HEALTHY WEIGHT (the right way!)

 

Here’s the basics:  There are two ways to lose fat… BURNING FAT and SHEDDING FAT.  Read the image below to see what the difference is:

Burn Fat vs Shed Fat

We are all familiar with BURNING fat… cardio-type exercises burn fat and strength training increase muscle mass which uses more energy all the time, not just when you are moving.  To get to your healthy weight the RIGHT way, commit to moving 30-90 minutes most days.

Move your body

In order to SHED fat, you must eat foods that will eliminate toxins from your body.  Toxins come from many sources, and our body creates FAT to ENCASE these toxins to prevent them from doing too much damage in our bodies. Eating REAL foods will promote detoxification and the fat that is encasing those toxins will be released as well… you will notice BIG changes just from the fat that is released because of this detoxification.

To get to your healthy weight the RIGHT way, commit to eating REAL foods and avoiding “fake,” processed foods.

Eat Real Food

Dieting vs Cleansing:

Diet vs Cleansing

Our bodies are comprised of about 70% water.  When you don’t drink enough water, your body will not easily adjust to your healthy weight. To get to your healthy weight the RIGHT way, commit to drinking ½ gallon to 1 gallon of clean water every day.

Drink Water

Find out TWO TRICKS to drinking enough water every day in this video!

Along with eating REAL FOOD and drinking enough water, to get to your healthy weight the right way, you need to avoid three things: DAIRY, GLUTEN, and SUGAR. Read the image below to find out why.

Remember: “AVOID” is different than “ELIMINATE.” Unless you have a specific medical condition, it’s okay to have wheat, dairy or sugar once in a while. Just start clearing the ‘bad’ items out of your pantry and start to replace the items with healthier choices.

Avoid Gluten and Dairy

No gluten, no dairy, no sugar

Not getting enough sleep will cause you to stay at an unhealthy weight for several reasons:

  • Hormones that signal fullness and hunger feelings will be out of balance in your brain (ghrelin and leptin)
  • Cortisol levels spike, signaling your body to conserve fat
  • You are too tired to exercise
  • Mental fogginess promotes lethargy and unhealthy habits

 

Commit to getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night, optimally 8 hours.

Sleep 7 - 8 hours

In order to get to your healthy weight the right way, you will need to flood your body with nutrition from as many plant sources as possible. Juice Plus+ fruit, vegetable, and berry capsules are a VITAL component to reaching and maintaining your healthy weight.  Juice Plus+ is the nutrition of 30 different healthy plants that you can easily eat EVERY DAY.  Watch the video, posted in the comments, to learn more about Juice Plus+.

Where the Magic Happens, Make a Life

bagmin 2017

20160309_171804

So this is where the magic happens. I am so blessed to have created a life around this amazing sacred piece of land, and we get to call this home.
From chaos and destruction rises beauty and transformation.
If we didn’t have chaos and destruction we couldn’t become the diamond that Spirit created us to be. These experiences make us rip away the very fabric of protection and become real, if we choose to let it.
Now we have the ability to create a living from this piece of creation, which we own!
From the few acres I now broadcast my teacher training globally! I record my classes and share them with the world, I am creating daily through writing my first book, to publishing my Yoga 4 Love Advanced Training Programs Online 200 manual to hosting video chats with like-minded souls every day.
I get to call this my office! I share health and wellness with everyone I meet and through this vehicle.
Spirit is pouring abundance into my family, my friend, my circle and it is growing exponentially daily! Income is flooding in just like the river.
So I sit. And pray. And express my gratitude.
Then I teach others how to do the same.
What a joy to live this life. This lifestyle isn’t for the special, the talented or the privileged, it is available for everybody and I’m willing to commit my life to show you how. Make a life, not a Living.

Peace, Love + Light~
