After many years of producing flower essences and doing essence readings, it seems a bit clearer as to why I’m doing it at all.   I am impacting others in a positive way.   Also, when I am with someone in a reading, it is a time when I am clear of my personal mind burden, and I get to meet the person at the highest level we are both capable of.   From my perspective, I am helping the person clear the persistent patterns of dysfunctional behavior that interfere with the experience of their real self.   That process may take a life time.   The programing we are all subject to from birth to the moment you are reading these words is overwhelming.   So much so that we feel lost, afraid and fearful from our hypnotized condition.   Flower essences do the final healing after the understanding has happened in the mind, but the cells and energy field are still stuck from the years of programing and reinforcement.   Then there can be a more complete release of the old.     That leads to the awakening to reality.  What is. . . . . At this point in this experience I call my life, it seems that is why I do what I do.

I have a unique guest cottage.  A virtual tour and virtual tour of Kauai be seen by clicking: www.kauaidigital.com/honualani

What a great night I had last night. A dozen or so individuals gathered in my circle for close to an all night meditation. I had an opportunity to listen to many peoples process as we periodically shared together. I was struck with how different we all seem to be in the way we approach our own personal silent continuous perceptions.

Some conjured images and healing settings. Others worked with their imaginary world of spirits and helpers. One man spent the night trying to contact his long deceased mother, with no avail.

At one point, I was sitting considering the various strategies being employed around me by my companions. The thought came to me, “do I dare address the tense and anxious tightness in my belly.” I did dare, and I approached it in my own way. I had the courage to let everything be the way that it was, without trying to manipulate it. The sounds of the insects, the ocean waves and the wind became intensely beautiful. The feeling of the air and the slight mist were added to the mix. Hours passed with nothing but a quiet appreciation of all of the sounds, smells and feelings. It occurred to me that that was the peace that passeth all understanding. I had a real experience of the metaphor of sitting in the back seat and enjoying the ride. Nothing to do with the driving. Just busy taking in as much of the view as I could manage.

The next step for me is to invite others to spend more time with me in the intention of moving whatever is holding a person back from their blossoming.  So far, I have limited myself to relatively short sessions, choosing the appropriate flower essences and giving a little reflection.  It is time I offered more.

I will work with people one on one over a 5 day period.  Our private bluff guest cottage would be home for 5 days, surrounded by the supportive  energy of this amazing place.  I will spend time listening and sharing every day and do a daily essence reading to provide a unique personal set of essences supporting the journey.  The rest of each day will be filled with life changing experiences with other amazing people who are working with me.  That will include a 2 hour unwinding message, a hike into one of the sacred spots of the island with a life coach, a morning  experiential journey on Secret Beach with a Human Design guide and an additional Human Design reading with a different guide.  The final day, several of the guides will join us to field questions and offer their clarity.

The cost of this 5 day Kauai adventure in blossoming is $2500. Email me if your interested in checking dates.

The mind is like a toilet.  Every time you use it, you have to flush it.  Otherwise you know what happens.

The problem is, the mind has successfully disguised itself as me and you.  So, what ever it thinks seems important and even worth getting pretty angry over. “Certainly not something one would want to ‘flush’ as a general rule,”  the mind argues. “The very idea of it smacks of escapism or some other neurosis.”

There is our dilema.  The worldly mind, in support of our mind, refuses to be shut up, and our only hope for getting in tune with our unique frequency or being requires not listening to our minds.  A real authentic expereince of self is within every one.  It requires no support from the mind.   It is always present.  The mind is the only problem.  

It may seem hard, but I am advising flushing after every use.  There is not one use of the mind superior to another.  All are equally distracting from the essential nature of each of us, that waits to be remembered.

Here in Hawaii, many grieve on this day for the loss of their home land.  Many celebrate the independence of the Americas from King George.  But, my local community radio DJ says it is a day for us to declare independence from our unwanted patterns of behavior.  How’s that?  I really don’t get any of it.

This is a day of life.  Life is happening or you would not be reading these words.  What a miracle.  There is no need to look back and grieve or cheer.  It is happening now, in living color, with full surround sound audio.  The body senses.  There is no room for the mind in this.  It is too now.  No possible idea what is going to happen tomorrow.  Letting go of the break and having the time of my life.

It is easy to give and read advice on the art of living, but not so when everything seems to be tough.  That is the hardest time to hear anything.  But, that is when a little advice would be helpful.

Tough times require tough medicine: the truth.  Every seeming problem boils down to a spiritual problem.   Normally, we  forget our spiritual nature and see things as me against the world.  The truth is that I am Spirit or Consciousness.  Everything that is happening is part of that Consciousness.  I am Consciousness, perceiving as Consciousness and everything I perceive is part of that Consciousness.  Where is the problem?

The idea is to relax.  We are like a fist that has been squeezed tight for so long that it seems to take effort to relax the hand.   We’re all tight, protecting ourselves in every way that we can, guarding against imagined danger.  We need to let it all go.

Life can be an experiment in letting go, trusting in the perfection and understanding that we are not our minds.  Need a job for your mind?  Give it the job of understanding your spiritual nature.  That is a worthy assignment.

Waiting seems to be one of the most difficult things.   The mind just hates it.  We want everything now. We want so badly that we pray for it, wish for it, focus on it.

In Human Design, almost everyone is instructed to wait.   Wait to respond.  Wait to be invited.  Ugh, says the mind.  I’m too busy to wait.  I have too much to do right now.  I have a life to make.

So, what about this waiting thing?  Is it important or a waste of time?  I vote for important.

Look at it like there are two worlds, one where you have to do everything and one where everything is done through you.  In the later, you no longer go out of your self towards things.  You stay within and things come to you.  Things - that is, thoughts, feelings and perceptions come to you, appear to you, arise within you.  You, your essence, no longer needs to forget itself in order to experience the body, mind and the world.  This experience by your essence, or Consciousness, is the prize.  Experience it and you know I’m right.

Waiting, with awareness, is a prerequisite for experiencing deeply.  When you know that you are a unique perfect expression of God, waiting for life to unfold becomes easy.  What could you do to improve it?  Nothing.  So give up the anxiety, pain and struggle and try waiting for what comes.  It won’t be easy because almost everyone is racing, praying or hoping for something to happen.  The only mentors you will find who are waiting are a rare few sages and awakening ones.  Think about it.

Nature has been one of my best friends.  I associate pleasure and ease with being in nature.  For me, making and taking flower essences seems to be a concentrated dose of nature’s healing power.

Well, what do others say?  Here are three tid bits I gleaned recently from my research:

1.  Visual exposure to settings with trees produced significant recovery from stress in five minutes, evidenced by changes in blood pressure and muscle tension.

2.  Desk workers without views of nature recorded 23% more incidents of illness than those with views of nature.

3.  Hospital patients who had views of trees needed less medication and had faster recovery times after surgery than those without such views.

So, go take a walk in the woods, or take a dose of nature in a bottle, flower essences.

Hello to each of you reading this in Russian.  Through the wonder of the internet and the weave of life, there are several people reading this blog from Russia.  Kauai to Russia. Amazing.

The message doesn’t change.  You have been kidnapped by your own mind, and you better pay attention.  If you want to get out of this, you have to get back into your body and wait for life to unfold at it’s perfect pace.  Our world and countries support our thinking in fixed programmed ways.  As if we were all the same.  It is not so.  You are the perfect one you are meant to be.  Only your truth.  You are the one you have been waiting for.

How to proceed?  Back to nature.  Flower essences seem to be very helpful in shattering the programmed ways of being.  It is a war between the mind and your truth.  The mind is clothed in all of your survival patterns pretending to be you. But, it is not you.  Let the destruction of the false self continue.
