Aileen's Oasis - News

Again, time has charged along, taking my life with it in an unceasing series of vast changes, impressions and ultimate decisions that seemed to me to be absolutely common and ordinary, but that in retrospect, are not at all common and ordinary.  When I became a Quantum-Touch instructor in June of 2004, I felt that I had found my calling, indeed my very purpose in life and I had not desire to pursue any other energy modality or any other work to share with the world.  Quantum-Touch therapy was a miraculous modality that produces results unheard by any other methodology in energy healing, and indeed, when I considered the fact that the very vibration of the planet is increasing exponentially as the magnetics are decreasing, I could well understand why indeed, Quantum-Touch was the modality of the 21st Century.  How else could we, mere humans gain the increased vibration necessary to deal with the vibrational increase necessary to bring us all to that all important state of enlightenment.  And this continues to be true.  I continue to marvel at and remain in awe of this wonderful modality developed by Richard Gordon as truly simple, pure manifestation of working with Life Force Energy.  As I teach numerous classes in various parts of the Canada and abroad, I witness a vast array of changes taking place during those special classes with the participants.  I have another opportunity to witness to changes as I work in my healing practice with various clients from many different walks of life and expressing great variety of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dilemmas.  We work together to create balance within the system with awesome results on all levels.

And, I need to also express my delight, confusion and awe at the changes taking place within me.  My physical body  has changed, my emotional and spiritual bodies as well.  I have developed in ways that I could not have even imagined, and as I move forward, I gain clearer and clearer understanding of my purpose as well as of my journey.  

I have known for many years that the Universe places before us, the means with which to gain Enlightenment (if that word works best for you) or whatever state it is that we have chosen to attain here in this lifetime.  Coming from a background of strongly engrained structure and belief systems, I did not do well with the concept of allowing.  Particularly, of allowing my life to move on in the directions it seemed to want to go, as I thought that I knew where I had to place my attention and intention to attain my goals.  However, life was not go my way, and indeed even when I attempted to allow, it seemed to stall.  At one point, I attended a ten-day Channeling Workshop here in Ottawa with Frank Alper.  During that workshop we went on a number of journeys that I seemed to use as a jumping off point for my own journey.  Several times during the journeys in that workshop I saw myself in discussions with large groups of people with whom I seemed to be a teacher or a peer.  At one point, I was at the front of a room with people in dark hooded capes, and I seemed to be instructing, or perhaps to be sharing.  At another time, I was sitting in the middle of a large circle of Beings also in hooded capes, this time of a very translucent bluish colour, and we were communicating by way of light beams.  No words were necessary.  During another journey, I was taken on board of my spaceship and granted the gift of experiencing instant manifestation.  In fact, the very entrance to the spaceship appears as I seemed to be standing at the doorway to an ordinary looking western house.  The house moved back, and the stairs for the spaceship appeared.  I entered, was directed to the healing room where I spend some time with a healer before going into my quarters.  Each time is was to go to a different area, the doorway opened up just as I was about to wonder where that room was.  In my own quarters, which upon entrance was very sparse, when I considered having a bath, a huge shell shaped bath appeared in part of the room.  When complete, and I considered a meal, a table appeared on the side with a complete meal.  As soon as I had eaten, and thought that a rest would be a great thing, a bed appeared.  Following the rest time, I went to the control area of the ship and sat with my peers and debriefed on the events of the past while when I had been away.

All of these fascinating events  led me to fully understand that my life would take on a very different form from that which I would have considered my life journey.  Some time later, after leaving my employment and attempting to do my work, without a high success level, I went back into some of my meditation methods when I would ask for images to represent answers to my questions.  Always, I received images in response, however, they were usually symbolic, and at this point I needed a clear message, that would be less prone to misinterpretation.  In fact, I insisted that the message be clear.  As was my habit in these situations, I returned in meditation to my little hut on the beach, overlook a river with a whirlpool and the ocean beyond.  I stated my request, and sat in wait.  From the right side of the beach my guide appeared.  He usually appeared from the left side.  My guide is Jesus, and on this occasion, He walked with a staff and was clothed in a hooded cape.  He walked quietly, without speaking past my hut and on down the beach.  I quickly caught up to him and asked where we were going.  He did not respond, and continued to walk.  I followed and sometimes walked side-by-side, however, he was walking rather quickly, so mostly I followed.  Suddenly, there appears a huge marble circular staircase  rising up out of the sand and going up towards the heavens.  My guide, Jesus, began to climb the stairs.  I followed without a little bit of complaining as the stairs were a bit steep, and seemed to be going nowhere other than just up. 

When we arrived at the top My Guide motioned out beyond the edge of the top step, and asked me what I could see.  I responded that I could see the river, with the whirlpool and the ocean beyond.  He asked again what I could see beyond that immediate view.  I responded that I could see the planets and the various constellations.  He then asked me to consider what would happen if any of the planets or constellations decided to be in a hurry and wanted to move faster than they were already moving.  I responded that chaos would result.  He said, "Exactly!!"  and then he stepped off the top step, suspended in space and reached out his hand for me to take.  I said that I was frightened that I would fall.  He simply repeated the gesture and I complied by reaching out and taking that step over the edge.  He was gone and I was totally suspended, safe and secure on my own, so to speak.  I remained suspended for a few moments.....long enough to know that I was safe, and then I was back on the beach beside my little hut.  

Never again did I need to ask the question "Am I really doing what I am supposed to be doing here on Earth?"  I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I am truly following the plan I prepared with my soul family long before incarnating on Earth this time to work through the Karma of other lifetimes and to participate with all others here on Earth to move us through this crucial time of the Great Turning.

In this context, I continue to offer Quantum-Touch therapy trainings and am now offering as well, the Grounding and Art of Creating Sacred Space, as well as a number of mini workshops which are being offered here at my home on Wednesday mornings and evenings beginning on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008.  These workshops are all part of the process of assisting humankind to move from Ego to Essence and to become One with All That Is.

The New Year has slipped in without my hardly even noticing it and I'm really needing to write about the things that have been taking place in my world.  As I refer to my last writing I realize that I have been doing the activities that I intended and that they have happening with great speed and efficiency that can almost make me dizzy at times.  I realize more and more how quickly we are manifesting what we intend, and I also realize that we must be prepared for this speed of manifestation.  I prepared to offer the 2012 workshop in December, and although I had only one participant and we did not proceed with the workshop, I did have interest from a number of people who could not attend at that time, but who are interested in coming now in January and February.  To me the most incredible part of this work is that I've been working on it for a number of years, and indeed have know about these huge shift in the planet that we are witnessing with the weather changes for at least 15 years.  So my time frames have been very speeding up and it feels as if the rest of the world is now getting on board.

The other workshop that I presented in December was entitled Working with Nature, and it was the MAP work of Machaelle Small Wright that I have been working with for many years, and that I have wanted to share with others as I have found it to be more than incredible.  My reasons for wanting to present this work is that many people purchase the book, and indeed, I have given this book to many people, but they don't seem to find the way to get to the work.  As I presented this little workshop on a Saturday morning in December in Ottawa, the results were absolutely incredible, and the participants went home with their toolbox ready to use MAP for their personal healing.  I will present this initial part again in February, and March, and will do a followup for adding new skills sometime in the summer of 2007.  Machaelle recommends that the basic MAP session be used for at least 5 months before adding on any of the more advanced skills.  For me, just learning the basic part was enough for quite a long time, as it seemed to be quite complex for me.  Now that I've worked with it since 1998, I don't feel overwhelmed at all the processes any more.

Quantum-Touch workshops continue here in Ottawa, Victoria, and will also be held in Sudbury, Midland, and in Trinidad in the spring.  The work continues to amaze and delight me as more and more participants learn to use the very simple, profound skill set developed by Richard Gordon and to feel their own healing taking place in the workshop as well as to witness the impact that their love and caring can have in the creation of a safe space for the system of the other to heal as well.

I am very excited about this year, and all it promises to be for all of us......the healing potential of energy work, and particularly the high vibration used in Quantum-Touch work is changing our world as I write.

Blessings and many hugs to everyone,

Aileen

Volume 2, sheet 6, September 2006

As I ponder the world I live in and the work that I am here to do, I realize that I have to begin again to move my other workshops out into the world.  I've been gathering more material on Creating the Life you Chose, as well as looking at the increasing relevance of the '2012' work and the need for everyone to be aware of coning, the M.A.P. system and the other works of Machaelle Wright in living our lives in the 21st century.  Another area I'm inclined to pursue is that of offering workshops to individuals living and working with great amounts of stress that would simply provide them with some very simple tools for grounding and protection in the everyday world.

To move more in this direction, I've decided to begin writing, not only here, but to produce articles for magazines including our local Tone, and to simply put some of the articles out in local shops and to have them available online.  There is so much possibility that at times my mind is boggled by the enormity of it.  I have, however, through the work of Machaelle Wright a great resource in helping me to put all of these issues into organized schedules and to begin working where I am and to simply begin writing where and when it feels comfortable.  Fortunately, as is so often the case, I have already purchased a palm top with a keyboard which is very useful when one is writing when and where one feels the urge.  

The way I envision supporting those interested in coning with the M.A.P. system and calibration system, is to offer a one day training, using Machaelle's M.A.P. book and to simply work with the participants in understanding and confirming the techniques offered in that publication.  Machaelle has now published many more volumes to encompass working with every possible area of ones' life, however, the basic work needs to be fully understood to enable the participant to get fully integrated into her systems.  I will of course do this work only with the permission of Machaelle.

'2012' is already to go.  I have worked with the material over time and need simply to review it all and to then put it out there again.  I use Gregg Braden's work, but bring in the work of others, some of it channeled material and others such as the The Mayan Factor by Jose Arguelles and the work of Mary Summer Rain.

Creating the Life consists of many components from working with intention on doing our five year, annual, monthly and weekly plans to deciding what work we came here to do and moving in that direction with a plan.  Many authors have contributed to this work of mine and they include Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer with their channeled book called "Creating Money", Marsha Sinetar with her books entitled 'Do What you Love and the Money will Follow' and 'To Build the Life You Want, Create the Work you Love', to such recent publications including the 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind' and 'The Secret'.  Other works that I have used in preparation for this series of workshops include 'Everyday Miracles' by David Spangler, 'The Ecology of Commerce' by Paul Hawken,  and the many works of Catherine Ponder.  And the many, many works on creating by Dr. Wayne Dyer including one of his latest on the importance and validity of 'Intention' on every aspect of our lives.  All of these publications cover the same general topics, however some are more detailed and step by step than others and so in the workshops I lead the participants through the details to encourage them to be aware of their thought processes and how to raise their vibration to hold the images and thoughts of their dreams to encourage creation. 

The last workshop I mention has to do with creating psychic safety and security on an individual basis for those working in the field particularly of mental health but also anywhere in the support industries.  This workshop will be entitled something like 'How to be Grounded and Healthy in any Environment'.  This will entail working with grounding cords, energy bubbles, colours and cleansing techniques to help increase the energy, cleanse the energy and to generally contribute to the wellbeing of all those who work and close proximity to others for long periods.

This has been the work of the last few months and now I'm prepared to begin putting it out into the greater world.  I've been preparing on one level for many years, as you can tell from looking at my website.  However, it took longer than anticipated as I worked through many of my personal issues to come out the other side with great resolve and feelings of high energy and enthusiasm.

Unbelievable that I have written so little over the past 8 months.  Life has been busy and I have been dealing with not only the issues of Aileen's Oasis including private sessions, the healing circle, and Quantum-Touch classes, but also with many of the personal issues that we all get to handle when we become more and more aware of our world.

One thing I discovered as soon as I began doing energy work was that my issues were going to come to the surface to be healed.  I am always surprised when this happens.  One would think that I had handled all my stuff years ago, but as one of my therapists has told me, we are never done.  The good thing is that it becomes easier and easier to recognize when we have something that needs looking at and indeed acknowledging.  Sometimes we need to take time to away from the other business in our lives and allow these issues to emerge into consciousness and for us to spend some really good quality time dealing with these issues.  They do not go away on their own, and without acknowledgement and confronting the issues, they will continue to sit in the back of our minds and possibly to even sabotage the very work we are attempting to do.

That has been my story this summer.  I decided that I needed to take a break from teaching so I booked no classes throughout the summer months.  I continued to see clients and to have wonderful experiences with my clients. I have also been on the board of directors for my condominium corporation and although I knew that it would take time, I had no idea that I would become so involved in the matter of governing this community as a board member.  I very willingly volunteered at the AGM in the spring of 2005 to become involved due to some concern about matters that had come to my attention.  Little did I realize that I would become so involved over the next 18 months.  I believe that it was a necessary step for me to take concerning my home, and of course having a background in business and indeed management consulting type of work, the solutions that were required were rather easy for me to see and to begin to implement.  So in the end, although it took a lot of time away from teaching and writing, it seems that it was necessary to me to participate in this aspect of my community for this period.

The other aspects have been around other relationships and how these relationships have evolved and cleared.  Also a necessary part of anyone's life as we move forward and either deal with issues or not.  What I have understood in all of this is that we need to deal with these matters when they emerge, or they will just sit there until we do.  As soon as we take some sort of action, even if it is simply to discuss the matters with an understanding person, it allows the issues to come to the surface and for the resolution to take place.  The amount of energy freed up upon this action is quite remarkable and today I am dealing with the renewed energy and resolution to get on with my own life.

What does that mean in this moment?  For me it is writing this piece in my newsletter, it is about renewing my resolve to do my workshop on Creating the Life You Chose.....and about creating a space for students and others to learn the system developed by Machaelle Small Wright called the M.A.P. system or Medical Assistance Program which I have found to be very helpful to me and which I would like to assist other in learning.

I am now going to go off to my pages about Creating the Life You Chose and to develop a schedule of events surrounding this work.

I'll be back in a day or two with more information on Quantum-Touch miracles, and what you can expect if you decide to get involved in Creating or the M.A.P. system.

Life has been very good and very busy for these past 6 months, I can't believe that I've not written here since December.  Today I want to share very briefly by way of a photo some of the work we've been doing and this photo, taken at the Cosmic Pathways Healing Fair shows three of us doing our work in absolutely wonderful ways.

Following the workshop on Manifesting Your Future, 2006 and Beyond, I must say that I feel very good about Saturday morning.  Not everyone went into the future with ease, however for those who did, it proved to be an amazing process.  One thing I need to remember with this work, is that we will get the information we need when we need it, and if the process was different for different people it simply means that it will take place at the different time.  I always really love process oriented work, for each participant has their own process.  It is truly an individual journey through life. 

Such a blissful world we live in, such a wonderful time.  I've been working on the workshop for this weekend on Manifesting Your Future,  2006 and Beyond, and realize as I work on the introduction and presentation how many years I have actually been working on this.  I can remember winning something at one point that I totally believed that I would win.  I also remember knowing that I was obstructing the manifestation process by doing on the one hand what I believed I should be doing, but on the other hand, wanted and dreaming of doing something else.  One of the early books on creating and manifesting was entitled something like "If you don't know where you're going, you will end up somewhere else".  As I reflect upon that title, I realize what simple wisdom it provides.

The workshop that I will be presenting on Saturday, December 10th and again on the 20th, will address these issues.  In my own life, I began to come to terms with the need to focus and dream about those things that interested me the most.  We come to the planet with a plan, and an agreement about what we are to create.  Most, if not all of us have totally forgotten the agreement, but there are lots of clues for us to use to determine what it was.  In my own life, I know that I always like to work with my hands, and I always loved to talk.  In fact, one of the greatest moments of enlightenment for me was to realize that I was getting in trouble for talking most of the time, therefore, I should probably be getting paid for talking.  I loved to share what information I had and of course, that's what teaching/sharing is all about.

Somehow in our society we are taught that making a living and earning our way should be difficult.  How many of us have been told that they must work hard to succeed?  No pain, no gain! We hear terms like the struggle for success.  I'm beginning to understand how wrong these expressions are.  Wayne Dyer addresses the roads to enlightenment in one of his books:  Enlightenment by Suffering, Enlightenment by Outcome, and Enlightenment by Purpose.  How much easier it is to find our enlightenment by purpose, by consciously choosing where we go and what we do.  This does not mean that we must force the issue of where we go and what we do, but rather to allow the ideas and creativity to flow from within.  This has been the source of great pleasure and empowerment for me.  I've learned, particularly following the Quantum-Touch workshops that allowing the images and the joy of feeling what I wanted to create, actually has enabled me to live as I have always dreamed.

Every now and then I find a phrase, a movie of some other little reminder of how this works, and that other people have discovered this as well.  I was watching Chariots of Fire recently, and one of the great sentences for me was when the lead actor said "God made me for a reason and He made me fast".  Another film that stands out for me is Greenfingers.  It is a story, based on an event in Canada although the film was made in Britain, about a man in prison for causing the death of his brother.  He had no purpose in life and was just doing his time when he was chosen for a pilot project in independent living outside the prison walls.  His room mate was a wonderful character who inspired him in spite of himself.  The lead character just wanted to do whatever would get him released without any problems.  He had no other aspirations, and could not respond to the question about what work project he wanted to do or anything that would require him taking responsibility.  Inadvertently, his roommate gave him a packet of flower seeds.  He tossed them into an overgrown place on the ground, and weeks later, these little pansies were growing and blooming.  He was a gifted gardener, and the story goes on from there.  He discovered his gift, and his passion.  That's the key for us, to discover out passion.

Joseph Campbell says "Follow your Bliss"  For most of us the difficult part is discovering where that bliss is.  I say, we all know deep inside, however,  the key is in finding a process that will allow us to go into that deep place and to allow the images, impressions and feelings to emerge.  Then we write about, focus on it, work with it, and lastly we toss it onto a plan.  The plan may be a very rough document, but a plan is necessary.  As that first book said, if I don't know where I'm going, I'll end of somewhere else.  

I have been working my plan, as the results are continuing to amaze me.  It is unbelievably easy as all it takes is the time to sit and dream.  Then a bit of writing, some more dreaming, and viola!!!there it is....fully manifest.

Have a great Christmas and happy holidays!!!  See you in 2006.

Hard to believe that I've actually writing here for a year now and can call this sheet volume 2.   I've missed a month and didn't quite complete the last bit I was writing, but I'll get back to that part of my life later.  In the meantime, many things have happened and I am really quite blissful about the positive changes taking place day to day as I observe how the higher vibration operating in my life is creating change.....sometimes those changes do not feel great at the moment, but as I sit with them and allow the change to happen.......the end result is always wonderful.  

I've been involved in the Board of Directors in my neighbourhood and am observing many changes taking place here.  I've also had many family changes taking place and feel once more connected to my siblings.  It is joyous to feel part of a family again.  

I've also been taking stock of my business and practice, and have decided that perhaps it is time to being offering all those other workshops again.  I get onto drawing mandalas in my journal and appreciate again how great it is to create these wonderful shapes and the allow the feelings to just flow out of my hands as the creation takes place.

I am being reminded daily of how our thoughts create our lives, and I am again drawn to the workshop on Creating the Life we Chose.  I have actually been pulling those books off the shelves again and peruse the relevant sections in preparation for that workshop.

The other workshop that continues to lurk at the edge of my consciousness and has never been presented in its whole form is the 2012 workshop using the material of Gregg Braden and others....psychics and channels around what is now happening on the planet and where we are going.  Each time we experience another storm or disaster I am drawn to present this material.  I guess I'll just need to bite the bullet and put the flyers out, find a date in my calendar, and get on with it.  My world is opening up AGAIN!!! and it's time for me to let go of the control and just go for it.

Has anyone ever experienced feelings of being out of step with their world, and of having some sort of mission here on earth.  Since I can remember, I have always felt that I somehow landed in the wrong place and time.  As a young child, there was story I remember in my family of a young man who believed that as an newborn that he had been confused with another baby and that he was with the wrong family.  That story really interested me as it would have answered my queries about why I felt the way I did, but I had been born at home....so there was no way I had been placed in the wrong basinet in the nursery.  

These feelings persisted, and although I know that in adolescence this is a common feeling, my dreams, aspirations, goals, and behaviours were all out of step with the time in which I lived.  I could not understand, nor accept that as a female child I had less rights than males.  For instance, when most young girls imagine themselves as mothers and homemakers, I saw myself working side by side with men in the workplace.   I did all the young girl things such as learning the sew and knit and bake and play with dolls, etc.  In fact,  I knit my first pair of mittens on 4-needles before I started to school.  However,  I always imagined myself as being strong and independent.  I was astonished when I first went to work at 16 years of age that because I was female, I could not contribute to the pension until I had been employed by that employer for 4 or 5 years.  Men did not have to wait.  When, in the 1960's I had the feelings of rebellion against the whole world in which I lived, I thought that I was unique.  It was only when I began reading the work of Marilyn Ferguson, the Aquarian Conspiracy that I had a glimmer of the energy that had come into the planet at that time and that those changes and feelings were common to many of us who had incarnated to live through the changes of the early 21st century.

I am busy these days preparing for the next water energizing exercise to take place at Britannia Park Beach on Sunday, August 28th, at 10:00 a.m.  I have had the assistance of a biologist to help with the design of the project to create a model more acceptable to the scientific community.  We will work with a number of samples that will have a control component as well as the component that will be energized by either myself or a group of Quantum-Touch student/practitioners.  I have arranged with the environmental laboratory to pick up the sample bottles on the Friday and they will be returned on Monday.  The objective is to determine the level of reduction in the bacterial counts between the before and after samples from a number of randomly chosen points in the beach water.  The next step in this process, following the results of the tests will be to present this information in a manner acceptable to funding agencies for the purpose of attaining funding that will hopefully contribute to additional testing and possibly the recognition that energizing water as a means of cleaning our waterways, and to provide support to those in the alternative field who are interested in doing this work. 

I've just realized that I have not written here about my great experience in Kingston in April of this year where I was asked to present Quantum-Touch therapy at a conference at Queen's University.  On that weekend I also started the Healing Circle for those students in Kingston who had taken the training and in some cases were actually driving to Ottawa one evening a month to participate in the Ottawa Healing Circles.  I have taken the article from the Quantum-Touch website and copied here for your ease of viewing.  Here it is.

Quantum-Touch Comes to Queen's University

On Saturday, April 2nd, I will be presenting Quantum-Touch at a conference at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. I have been invited to participate at this conference entitled Truth, Sustainability, Self-Awareness and Holistic Wellness. This is a very exciting time here for me, and I am really looking forward to it. I will be doing a mini workshop on Saturday morning, followed by a panel discussion with four other holistic practitioners. Information on this conference can be found at myams.org/criticalmass. I will provide more information on the conference next week.  I was interviewed on Queen's radio in February prior to the Basic QT workshops there, and as a result received this invitation. On Sunday afternoon I will be starting a Healing Circle in Kingston for the workshop participants in that area. The possibility for growth and expansion with QT is almost beyond belief.

 
-------------------------------
[Several days later; 'Growth Spurt']

What a blissful weekend I had in Kingston, and the day spent at Queen's was memorable. I drove through the rain leaving Ottawa at 7:00 a.m. to arrive at Queen's about 9:00. Students were just arriving to set up the venue for the day's activities, and I was quite happy to just observe and to feel the energy moving in the space. I began with around six participants. My goal for this one hour presentation was to compress a three hours training into around one hour. By speaking clearly and concisely, and eliminating unnecessary details, I had the students learn the body sweeping after about 20 minutes. By this time I had now about 20 participants, so I slowed down a bit to ensure that everyone was on the same page and all were feeling energy moving.  I then taught the 4/4 breath and could tell that they were not experiencing any difficulty in breathing deeply and consistently. When they linked the body sweeps to the breathing they were all astonished at how they could feel the increased energy in their hands. In fact, some were already having profound experiences. With about 20 minutes left of my allotted time, I had a practice session of seven minutes for each person. The results were
astonishing. Every one of those 20 people could feel the energy/heat/tingling and other sensations both as the healer and healee.
Following the sessions, we had time for quick feedback and then blessings and regrets that the time had been so short. The huge upside was that everyone felt Quantum-Touch working, and many came to speak with me later about the upcoming training in Kingston.
On Saturday afternoon I was part of a panel discussion on alternative health care. This proved to be quite interesting for me as I was presenting alongside a naturopathic doctor, a chiropractor, and a registered massage therapist. My presentation followed the other three and my most treasured experience was that of sensing the reaction to my words from my colleague to my left, who was the chiropractor. At that time I would have liked to have had Richard's amazing presence and sense of humor. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. On Sunday I started the Healing Circle at Nancy's house with Nancy, Cheryl and Kim. Again, we really enjoyed ourselves and lots of laughter and healing all around. I am so happy to have been part of this growth spurt within the Quantum-Touch community here in Canada. My heart is full.

I have some absolutely incredible news today as I have just received the lab report for the water we energized/purified on July 13th at Mooney's Bay beach in Ottawa.  Four of us gathered for1-1/2 hours during which time we repeatedly took approximately 1 cup of water and ran energy into it for at least 4 minutes and then we placed at back into the river and took another cup full.  The four us working for 90 minutes energizing 1 cupful of water every six minutes would mean that we energized 60 cupfuls of water over the period and we reduced the coliform and e-coli counts considerably.  I have pasted below the report from the lab.

Time is travelling at an incredible speed these days, I cannot believe that I've not written here for at least a month.  So much is happening, I must reflect and attempt to find a beginning to all the events of the past month.

On May 30th, I spent some hours in the Orthopedic Day Surgery at the Civic Hospital having the metal removed from my left ankle.  This ankle was broken in a fall down icy outside stairs on February 27, 2003 and due to the level of instability in the ankle, a metal plate was inserted along the bone on the outside, as well as two screws.  On the inside of the ankle two pins were inserted.  The maleolus on both sides had been fractured, and after an attempt to cast the leg, it was determined that the bone was unstable, so the wet cast had been removed and the surgery scheduled.  

I was not comfortable with this foreign material in my body, however, at the time it certainly seemed like the way to deal with the injury, so it remained for more than 2 years.  Following the surgery, I spent one rather painful day in which I chose to take Devil's Claw to relieve the pain rather than to fill the prescription I had been given.  That was not a good day.  However, better things were to come, and on the Wednesday morning at 10:00, the Healing Circle miracle workers arrived to practice.  Practice is quite an understatement, as miracles were performed in my little therapy room that day.  

Besides having had the surgery on my left ankle, I have a few anomolies in my body from accidents when I was quite young.  When I was 10 years old, the whole family was involved in an automobile accident with a highway bus.  The car was totally destroyed, my mother had broken ribs and vertebrae, my sister had a concusion, and other than a numb spot on my left knee I had apparently no injuries.  However, over the next few months, I began to limp on my left leg and to have a lot of back pain.  There was never any diagnosis made other than the decision that I was looking for attention, so I quite complaining about the pain and eventually learned to completely tune it out.  However, the pain never did go away completely, and during pregnancies and at other times in my life the pain could become quite significant.  

During a polarity training class in the early 90's, my pelvis was examined during a class and it was determined that my whole pelvis was turqued, meaning that it was twisted to the right and the right side was higher than the left.

When I was 13 years old, I fell at a party at my home, and a friend fell on top of my right foot.  The doctor xrayed my right ankle and determined that it was not broken.  No one was ready to hear that it was the foot that hurt and not the ankle.  From that time, 50 years ago, I have walked, skated, skiied, hiked high mountains, etc with a right foot with a severely collapsed instep that produced pain most of the time.

For most of my life the back pain was on the left side where the left knee had been jammed into the back of the passenger seat way back in 1952.  The left leg appeared to be shorter than the right one and that leg was always a big larger than the other.  In 1998, during craniosacral biodynamic training, many changes took place in my body, and the pain moved to the right side.  I had not remember feeling any back pain at the time when my foot was injured, however, I certainly have felt it since 1998.  

I always believed that these two conditions could be reversed.  In fact, I spend hours imagining a straight body with two perfect feet over the years, particularly since learned Quantum-Touch therapy and witnessing bones moving back into place.  However, every time my hip bones were worked on it came back into alignment, however, the torquing of the pelvic girdle was not being corrected, so it would go back to it's favourite position.

Until the day the miracle workers came to work on my newly operated on foot.  Several people had worked on the right foot the week before and I could tell that the instep had come up somewhat.  I had also had many sessions dedicated to my back, but that memorable Wednesday, June 1st, 2005 was the day that changed my world.  For, not only was the ankle that had had the surgery improved and healed immensely, the instep on the right foot was significantly higher following the session.  The most impressive changes, however, had not yet been noticed.

The following morning, as usual I took Chelsea out for her morning stroll.  As I was walking along the street, I realized that my back was not hurting.  Such a subtle, the realization that pain has gone away.  Later that morning, I stooped to pull some weeds from the flower bed and realized that it didn't hurt when I bent over, nor when I straightened.  That was a totally new feeling.

You can imagine my utter surprise and joy when 10 days later, in Thunder Bay at the beginning of a workshop, I presented my back to the class to be used as the model to demonstrate how Quantum-Touch can straighten bones.  We use that demonstration regularly, and as recently I cannot check out a model for demonstration purposes since as soon as I touch their IS bones they move back into alignment, I have begun using my back as the demo.  When I placed my hands at the top of the IS bones and turned to show the class, they all spoke in unison and told me that my bones were in perfect alignment.  

What this all means is that following on very powerful QT session with 4 people working on my body, my collapsed instep from 50 years ago has been corrected, as well as my torqued pelvis from 53 years ago.  These are miracles not to be discounted.  Unfortunately the photos I have are only for my foot, as I was always embarassed by my crooked back and was not willing to have pictures depicting it.

I am forever grateful for this miracle called Quantum-Touch therapy and for Richard Gordon who brought it to me.

As I prepare for another workshop here in Ottawa, I reflect upon the most recently held workshop at the MacLaren Centre and want to share that as widely as possible.  This article has been published in Tone Magazine, and now I want to publish it here.

Toning sounds and laughter emanating from the training room at the MacLaren Centre this past weekend caught the attention and interest of other workshop presenters and attendees at the Centre as the most recent class proceeded through the second day of yet another amazing weekend of Quantum-Touch in Ottawa.  Participants continued to astonish themselves with the results of their sessions and the amount of energy they could feel and generate with each new technique learned during the two-day training.  A surprised group they were when they tasted the water they energized on Sunday and witnessed firsthand the difference in taste and texture of the energized tap water to the glass of unenergized  water following just 4 minutes of running energy into that water.   

Quantum-Touch training weekends begin on the Friday evening with an information/introductory session when I speak to those interested person about the origins of QT, about the experiences and dreams of Richard Gordon and QT, my history with alternative therapies, and in particular with QT, and then about the results I have had in my practice.  On this particular Friday evening, there was a pleasant surprise when two interested visitors with QT experience, if not the training, added enormously to the presentation by sharing in one case the results her son had had from Distance Healing, and the other visitor told of his results using QT with his own family and friends after trying out the techniques indicated so clearly in Richard Gordon’s book, Quantum-Touch The Power to Heal.

Saturday morning began with a short grounding meditation as I like to create an environment in which the participants in workshops are grounded and centred when they are enabled to leave behind in the events of the morning journey and be fully present for the workshop information.  This proves to be a very effective method of creating a safe and comfortable place in which to work.  The group came together quickly and by lunchtime on Saturday there had already been a practice session with great results.  Everyone was astonished that within the 3 hour period that they had been together that they were already doing real work, and doing it effectively.  Little did they realize at that time, that there was much more to come before the weekend would be complete.   Saturday afternoon, and more discussion on resonance, what it is, where we can observe it in nature, how it works in QT, and how to increase and maintain that high vibration that enables Quantum-Touch to be such a powerful healing force.  Another great healing practice session, and everyone was reluctantly heading home for prepare for  the Sunday. 

Sunday morning brought a few tired participants who had spent a restless night and others who had been quite overcome with fatique early on Saturday evening and arrived at the workshop looking quite refreshed.  After another journey through the grounding exercise, everyone felt more together, energized and eager to get on with the day.  Sunday morning brings discussion on understand and working with energy in various ways including manifestation, distant healing for the group for family, friends, and to countries and situations around the world experiencing violent weather and internal conflict, or any other situation imaginable where healing energy could help.  This proves to be a wonderful empowering exercise leaving everyone surprised at how comfortable and energized they are at the end.  This leads to the learning of yet another way of running energy and creating even more powerful healing exchanges.  When lunch time rolls around, everybody was starving (did we warn you that energy work creates great appetites?) and eagerly looking forward to the rest of the day.

Sunday afternoon is the time for the fun stuff, as Richard Gordon calls it, and the impact and results of the rest of the day can be quite a surprise.  We work with the charkas, those energy centres within the body providing energy to the various body systems, organs, functions and emotions.  We spend some time experimenting and experiencing the use of voice in the form of toning and the benefits of sound vibration in energy healing of the physical body, and discuss the use of this medium in the healing of water and the earth.  Although a little bashful at first in using their voices (I was cautioned not to take any photos of the toning practice session) when chakra energy and toning were combined, the shyness quickly disappeared as the power of this combination with the other techniques learned over the previous day and a half were experienced by participants both while taking the role of healer and healee.   As expressed in each workshop, this is by far the most powerful session. 

The rest of the afternoon is taken up with energizing water mentioned at the beginning of this article, (arrangements are being made for a research project involving energized water and the results will be presented when available) and the short charka charging exercise which left everyone totally relaxed and sitting on the floor wondering if they could actually get up for the journey home.  Certificates are given out, papers and instructions are read and discussed, arrangements to attend the weekly healing circle, and all too soon the weekend is over.  Hugs, and goodbyes are shared and the world is richer by far as a new group of Quantum-Touch healers emerge from the MacLaren Centre.  

We've had another workshop here in Ottawa, and an amazing experience it was.  Not only are all the participants highly effective healers, but we really got into the water energizing technique at the end of the day and are wanting to explore this more in the context of energizing our drinking water sources, and to take it one step further as a project in healing our local bodies of water.  This will be very interesting and can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to having this water tested.  I am proposing that we chose a day when we can all work in a particular place, or do distance healing for that place if it is not convenient, and then to watch for the outcome.

I am going to propose that we look at Mooney's Bay, a local swimming beach here where the water is tested daily, and the outcome would be documented quickly.  The organization of this will evolve slowly and I will be making that information available as it comes to me.  The realization that this water that we energize is so much different in texture from the original glass of water as it comes from the tap, is a miracle in itself.

I continue to explore various means of helping individuals to be healthier in ways which do not impose restrictions upon them, nor interfere with their busy lives.

I've discovered in my own life, that using energy techniques, essential oils and maintaining a very high vibration in my home by listening to wonderful sounds, such as the sound of singing crystal bowls, and uplifting music that I am able to stay ever present to all possibilities.  

In my practice, working with clients, I continue to be surprised by the many different conditions or challenges people bring to my door that are relieved very quickly and effectively;  great and lesser miracles happening each day.   I have had experiences of working successfully with physical conditions causing great pain, but these days I work not only with the physical, but also with emotional distress related to the physical issues.  I am reminded that we do carry painful memories in our bodies and that when we release the physical pain, the emotional pain must release as well.  A further understanding around these connections is that when we are ready for the release to take place is when it will take place, and not one moment before that.  This can be a great frustration to both a practitioner and a client.  

When I first began to do energy work, I was told by my trainers that we needed to release our attachment to the outcomes of our work - a really difficult task.  One can imagine when working with a client with a serious condition and a lot of hope connected to the outcome of our work, release an attachment to outcome can seem to be almost impossible.  Of course, we always maintain positive expectations and certain that the results of our work are in their perfect time and for the highest good of both the client and practitioner, keeping the ego out of the results box, can be a real test of our humility.  Who wants to admit that perhaps their work is not going to create the results they would like.  However, we must all remain at a certain distance from the desired result and leave it in the hands of a Higher Being.  

Some days this requirement is more easily attained than on others.  And those days when I am teaching, and I witness the many healings and joyous responses to the work, I am always in awe of how this wonderful energy work does in fact, work.  Just another day of pondering the many miracles in my life, and looking forward to many more. 

I've had a relatively difficult time putting my ideas in writing about these connections I sense to different conditions being experienced in the physical bodies of persons I am working with using Quantum-Touch. These connections, I believe, if adequately understood, could assist us in being healthier individuals by taking simple measures to eliminate stresses in our physical bodies.  As human beings living in a western culture, some physical issues are discussed more easily than are others.  We tend to speak easily about back pain and ulcers, and less comfortably about, for instance, constipation and hemorrhoids.  These latter conditions are recognized as being connected.  However, I am beginning to recognize lower back pain may also be connected to constipation.   In other words, when I am working with someone whose initial complaint was of lower back pain, and I ask the good questions about constipation I often receive a positive response.  And when I work on these issues, the improvement in one is usually accompanied by a significant improvement in the other. 

I have also discovered the correlation between chronic sinus infection, colon problems, dairy consumption and dry houses.  Although this may seem like a huge stretch, once the issues are addressed one by one, the overall health of the client improves enormously in a very short time.

Another question I have been asking has to do with the possibility of reflux phenomena and hiatus hernia.  Recently while working in the diaphragm area with someone suffering from reflux I felt a large movement under my hands that was coming from the diaphragm.  At the end of the session, the client remarked that she felt that she had much more space in her diaphragmatic area, so perhaps the diaphragm had been immobilized for some reason, and I believed that the hiatus hernia could have accounted for this.   

New Year's is always exciting for me, as I reflect upon the year that has passed and the 365 days in the year to come.  Reflection represents a sort of summing up what has taken place, and how those events fit into the life I believe I have come here to live.  Often one year does not seem to be different from the past years, however, when we examine carefully our attitudes, and feelings about our life in general, we can detect changes over time.  For me, this only comes about as the result of reflection.

I've looked at the year to come, particularly in light of the terribly devastating events in South East Asia.  I could not believe the images on the news as I have a very clear memory of the beach in Puket where I spent a wonderful peaceful, happy holiday some years ago.  These images can only be viewed for a short time or they become overwhelming.  I ask myself,  what can I do now to help?  I need to give back.

So, as I move into this first month of 2005, and I review the major plan for my future, I see the need to create a place for regular giving back.  I am connected to every other being on this planet, and I need to give what I can from this place of energy work and healing.  A long-term commitment to the rebuilding of communities devastated by the earth changes seems appropriate as there will be more devastation as the intensity of planetary changes increase as we approach 2012.  

We must not forget.........   

I have been putting together on my workshop schedule for 2005,  and adding more focus on the '2012' What's All the Fuss About? workshop.  As I take it through the process from beginning to end and review the materials I've chosen, I decided to address this workshop here in the newsletter for December.  

We are all very aware of the weather changes occurring on the planet, the dire warnings about the melting of the polar ice cap,  the hurricanes, recent earthquakes in Japan, the eruptions of Mount St. Helen in Washington, and the unusually balmy weather we're enjoying here in Ottawa.  As we may enjoy this great weather here, it may painfully remind us that this is representing change and there will be more changes to come.  

During the 1980's books appeared that documented changes taking place somewhere in the psyche of mankind.  Marilyn Ferguson was the first author I recognized as putting into print the phenomena I was feeling within myself and my world.  I believed that I was unique in my opinions and attitudes, however, as I reflected back 20 years to the 1960's it was clear that powerful change was taking place in the hearts and minds of populations.  Change in human consciousness has become the norm today, but the peace marches, draft dodgers and equal rights protesters of the 60's were the pioneers.  What was happening in to the 60's to create such a change?

We have lived through the bloodiest century in recorded history.  Also a period of unprecedented advances in technology, medicine, and education.  However, if we open our minds to the possibility of the reality of an Atlantis, we could explore the possibility of a parallel events.   

What does all this mean?  We are all feeling the speeding up of time, the higher vibration on the planet, the planet healing itself, the changes in our personal relationships, and an abundance of new healing technologies in the form of hands-on-healing.  Marilyn Ferguson wrote about the changes in institutions, Gregg Braden researches and presents in scientific terms the observable and measurable changes to the physical structure of the planet.  Gregg also presents the ancient prophecies and their predictions for this time in human history.  I believe that we are going through an amazing change in our attitudes and beliefs so that '2012' will represent a time of great change and evolution.  

The workshop in February, 2005 will detail all the information I have gathered to date, and you will be able to present questions, and seek answers as we explore together this information.    

Stay tuned......... 

Volume 1 sheet 1, November 2004

Welcome to my new website created with the skills of Suzanne Mahoney from Synersys. It has taken some time to discover the right person to get inside my head and to create the image I needed to best represent what I do and who I am. At last I’ve the look, as well as all the venues to impart the message I want to send to the world.

To begin, I have changed the buttons to provide immediate access to you for information on what the various modalities mean, a testimonials page to inform you as to results experiences by others with the various modalities and workshops, and a calendar to tell you when the various workshops and Healing Circles will be taking place, including the Quantum-Touch® certificate trainings.

For those who have already viewed my old website I want to tell you about a new workshop I’m developing in response to the queries and interests of many friends and students. This workshop is currently entitled Energy Work (not a very imaginative name, but the first one to come to mind). It will involved training with the use of the pendulum and a dowsing rod, protection from negativity and energy drainers in our environment, developing intuition and energy scanning, and an introduction to Shamanic practices, involving the introduction to our power animals and spirit guides. I will also present information on the use of crystals in our energy practices and in our homes based on the fundamental principle of our natural intelligence and psychic abilities to raise our vibration and magnify energy.

Creating healthy boundaries to conserve our energy and to raise our vibration will be a basic skill upon which all the others will be added. Healthy boundaries are a fundamental part of all healing, intuitive and psychic abilities. Learning this skill and practicing each morning upon getting up will enable us to have a shield throughout the day in whatever environment we may journey and will reduce enormously the amount of stress experienced in many of our workplaces from both peers and equipment.

This workshop will be available early in the new year and be presented over the period of approximately 6 weeks. It will teach invaluable skills about self discovery and programming our future.

Please stay tuned for further details.
