Meandering to Hawaii

What am I up to now? It’s a lot of projects, like usual. I am thinking about making more time for writing to organize and communicate better about what I’m up to. I’m afraid I need to give myself permission to go on a tear, to make a wide space to string the far reaching topics together in a way that is helpful to me, even if it becomes tiresome for the reader.

In some ways, I’m inviting myself more directly into boldness. The time is already here for more dramatic action. It can feel like I missed the moment to strike on the health freedom issue. I notice I am self-censoring by avoiding a word that starts with the letter V. There is a lot of important information that I’ve learned to find, which so many people are completely unaware about, but it also is quite difficult to bridge that information gap. In some way, that’s where effective writing and art making come into play. Connect energetically. 

I am living in a 4-bedroom house in Minneapolis. I would like this space to be an effective hub for community. There has to be some kind of discernment, because I want the good energy to be flowing here. And even one person can put people on alert. There is a cat and a dog here, and those can be a bit of an energetic investment, but they do help foster the environment that I am looking to create. It’s just that it’s a work in progress.

I’m influenced by my visits to Esalen in Big Sur, CA and to Breitenbush Hot Springs in Central Oregon, and the Vipassana meditation center in rural Washington. Also by a dance festival at Sundari Gardens in Hawaii and a Charles Eisenstein retreat in North Carolina. 

What do I need to hold myself in a higher frequency state? What does the house need to help hold that state for guests? Quiet time for contemplation, and also time for music and play and expression. Space for intimate conversations, and space to be alone. Neighbors who are involved, but who can be in their own space too. I’m looking for availability. For service. To be in service of others, and also of my gifts and strengths. And theirs.

So is this house ready for a new roommate and his son? There is a lot to this question that has sat stagnant, because I don’t have the kind of supportive resources in my friends that I wish I might have. One obvious benefit of having another adult here, will be to share responsibilities for the animals, making it easier for me to travel. And other one will be the financial boost that comes from having a renter. But more important than both of those things, is how these other people affect the energy flow of the space. It will be significant. It will impact my daily patterns. Can it be a shift in a helpful direction? What are the challenges that can also be used for the benefit of all? I think communication is a foundation for making it work. A mutual understanding that we have our own journeys that we can witness and support in each other.

What about the Kennedy campaign? Gosh. How important is my role in the campaign? I feel the potential for becoming quite activated for the campaign. Demonstrating my enthusiasm and encouraging my local community to set a precedent for what grassroots can look like. Weekly Kennedy Heart Share circles. Potlucks. Open mic. Bring people together for a positive purpose. What is the upper limit of what that might look like? Well, if there are individuals or dynamics that cause it to feel draining, that’s when I’ll need my space. But if it is energizing, then I might be able to accommodate guests every day of the week. It’s like a real community vision. There is a weekly morning check-in. Or a daily check-in. I want to build a positive culture that helps myself and others to “live in the light.”

I put that phrase in quotes because I know it can sound hokey. But it is a real description of a process that I’m going to describe further. And perhaps this will get to be a bit esoteric for some, but this is an artistic/therapeutic writing process for myself first. When I moved into this house, I was participating in a weekly “Community Heart Share” led by my neighbor and housemate who developed that 3 hour format from a Priestess process they learned from a specific teacher. They spoke in terms of quantum healing, ley lines, miracles and sacred processes. They used oracle cards and crystals, sounded bowls and spoke in light language. I had a metaphoric, or energetic understanding of what they were doing, and it did resonate with me.

I have been reading an esoteric spirituality book that might be described as transcendental christianity, while also using mindfulness exercises and other practices of embodiment. At times, it feels like there is a large diverse center that can hold many unique individuals and expressions of the divine. I finished a 2022 book by Lorie Ladd on “Divine Design” that covers aspects of our multidimensional reality and the negative influence of certain fallen beings which have been part of our reality on Earth. And then I was turned on to an ascension blog from Lisa Renee called Energetic Synthesis. The unifying theme is that an inner transformation is possible, and that an outer transformation is coming too.

To be more specific, the control grids of the old world are coming down. This is a disruptive, and challenging time. Whether you work in education, military, government, healthcare, the legal profession, banking, media and entertainment, sports, performance, arts, tech… it’s all changing so rapidly. And those careers can help with the money piece which can help bring security and safety for the foundation of our needs. But those of us bringing light to the system will likely find it overwhelming to remain within the system. In time, we will make our various exits, but creating an alternative financial model for our livelihood takes lots of energetic resources and support.

So, how can I help provide that support for others? How can I receive that support for myself? What kind of career might I have that makes use of my skills and gifts for this higher vibrational earth timeline? 

I have assembled a team of health practitioners through Charles Eisenstein’s Sanity Project. We meet once a week as a mutual support group. I am also offering Mind-Body Skills groups to the whole of the Sanity Project on Monday afternoons. I have been leading Pod 10, which will be shifting to another day of the week pending the results of a Doodle poll. 

I continue to work at a low income clinic, meeting people from all over the world who often have low health literacy. They need a doctor’s orders for their wheelchairs and incontinence supplies, and pharmaceutical drugs that were started by previous doctors or in the hospital. I have limited time with them, and many of them have deeply entrenched health beliefs that makes the empowering work I aim to do nearly impossible.

I have participated in Pamela Wible’s Physician Entrepreneurship program for the last 6 years. She has specific skills and understandings that can help make strategic financial sense out of alternative health business models. That might look like charging an hourly rate for individual or group holistic health clients.

I am starting a 22 day group reset challenge tomorrow with my friend Kai from Hawaii. I would like to go visit her and to be on that island for 1-2 weeks at the end of January. Who wants to come? I’m going to leave it here for now. Thanks for reading.
