A New Day

What I see that has come forth in this last episode of shootings is that the white supremacist movement has put every race, religion and gender all in the same boat. We are all targets. We have the opportunity to bring all of us together as one people, to never be divided again. We are asked to couch up ALL of our hatred. Behind all hatred is the yearning for love and acceptance. This is the beginning of the peace and survival of our species and our planet if we chose to stand together in this light. I also find it interesting that the universe really has asked us to look again at how we see people. Do we have any bias ourselves, even if we think we don’t? If so, we need to change these thoughts once and for all. This needs to be examined down to our very core.  Let’s say we judge someone because they are fat.  We choose not to spend time with them because we say to ourselves this is not me. This person may be beautiful inside, they could even become our best friend but we don’t allow ourselves to go far enough to see. So we are called to drop these walls of judgments once and for all. We are asked to dig down to find our fundamental truths. What we want individually and collectively. We are responsible. Do we want to change our world to become inclusive and not exclusive any more? Do we choose to work together as one people? We have to make the right choices here. There is no room for error.  We are given the opportunity now by the universe to change our direction. It’s a warning we have to break down to come to! How far we fall is totally up to us. Our lives and our freedom depend on all of us to stand together. United as one people. For the people, by the people, of the people!A new day is waiting to become.Let’s do this! Holding Love and Light,XOXO "Judgment is a man-made thing designed by the ego to feel better about ourselves."

Prayer of St. Francis

A prayer we can all say for those suffering from gun violence.Also a prayer for our world and all it's people in desperate need of healing.Blessings to all,Jodi Prayer of St. Francis Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,Where there is hatred, let me sow love;Where there is injury, pardon;Where there is doubt, faith;Where there is despair, hope;Where there is darkness, light;Where there is sadness, joy;O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;To be understood as to understand;To be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The Bases of Sound Healing

Each Celestial Body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of it’s movement , it’s rhythm or it’s vibration. All of these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole.” Pythagoras 569-475 BC Premise of Sound Healing: We are all unique vibratory beings, which means what’s good for one being may be different for the other. We are all unique with our own vibration pattern made up of sound, light and color.  However all contributes to the whole. We call primordial sound the mysterious link that holds the universe together in a web that is the quantum field. This is the whole we are all a part of. “The very basis of sound healing is based on the concept that everything is in a state of vibration, including the body. Almost every modality of sound healing utilizes the approach of enhancing the correct resonant frequency of a part of the physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual body. Through rejuvenating and restoring the body’s own resonant frequencies, any imbalance ceases and healing occurs. Another important principle of vibration is entrainment.It is considered to be a subcategory of resonance.Entrainment is a phenomenon of sound in which the powerful vibrations of one object actually changes those of another, causing this second object to lock in step or synchronize with the first.Resonance and entrainment is the ability of one sound to shift the frequency of another. This is what happens when a part of the body begins to vibrate out of its normal, healthy resonance. We can use sound to change the vibrations of a part of our physical or ether body that may be weakened and out of tune and return it to a state of health.“ Jonathan Goldman Sound-travels 4 x’s faster in water than air. Since our bodies are made up of mostly water, it makes the human body a natural resonator. Our bodies can influence our minds and vise-versa. So our thoughts, beliefs, intention, feelings, consciousness can affect us physically. Remember: Frequency + Intent = Healing Sound + Belief = Outcome Vocalization + Visualization = Manifestation  Some Sound Healing Methods: Chimes Tuning forks Crystal Bowls Tibetan Bowls Bells Gongs Drumming Chanting

Aromatherapy

AromatherapyOils for Certain Things Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils, which are extracted by flowers, leaves, bark, wood, seeds, roots and peel, to promote health and mood. Before you start, always skin test an essential oil before using.  Each person’s body is different. Apply oils to a small area first, and only use one oil at a time. Allow 15 to 30 minutes for the body to respond before applying a second oil. Different methods for using essential oils:  Inhalation - You can put a couple drops of oils in your hands, rub together, and breathe. Steam inhalation Apply directly to the skin In a diffuser In a bath Massage - Mix it into a carrier oil.(Example- Almond oil) If you see an oil that says extended, it means it is diluted in a carrier oil. This makes pricy oils more affordable. Here are some oils to use for specific things:Brain fog: Lavender Peppermint Rosemary Bergamot Lemon Ginger Ylang-Ylang Immune System: Tea Tree oil Eucalyptus Rosemary Lemon Oregano Stress: Relax (on website) Jasmine Bergamot Ylang-Ylang Vetiver Patchouli Headaches, Migraines: Peppermint Rosemary Eucalyptus Lavender On your Moon – Menstruation: Female Balance Essential Oil Blend(on the website) I hope this helps with choosing oils that are right for you. Please note:All oils are not created equally the same. A cheaper brand does not always give you the same result. Make sure they are all organic and are being farmed and created by people that have the ethics and the background needed to source fine oils. All of my products come from the very best.  XOXOJodi

Sacred Spaces

I believe that our home is our personal sacred place. It is where we go for refuge from the outside world. It is a place of love, security, rest, laughter, nurturing and contemplation. It is where we spend the majority of our time, so it is important how we decorate our home. It’s not just throwing in some furniture. It should reflect the essence of ones self and the essence of your family unit. Each room should have the elements of things that have meaning to you, your partner and/or children. Things that bring joy and love into the being of your home. Your home is a reflection of who you are. When you go into some ones home you can see and feel this. So what are you expressing and what tone do you want to set or bring in? Always add something in that reminds you of staying in the positive and brings you back to the true meaning of life. Colors are also so important. They help create moods. I painted my house inside in a canary yellow and whites and that really brought so much joy in. I didn’t know it at the time but it was my 3rd chakra expressing itself. There are charts online that can give you color meanings. You can also use your own personal favorite like I did and then you realize what it is you actually needed at that time. Funny what happens when you are not even paying attention to the deeper meaning of things. We all need to have a quiet place in our home to be able to do meditation or just quiet contemplation. It could be a small room in your house or a place outside in your yard. I have wind chimes outside my bedroom window that bring beautiful sounds in. If you don’t have a space try and make a corner with a sitting chair with a table and little alter. An alter does not have to be religious, it can just have things that are special and meaningful to you. Pictures, a stone you found on a beach, crystals, an angel, etc. Symbols that bring you back to your truth, your essence.When you come home from your day it needs to say, “Ahh… I am so glad to be here”. It should recharge your battery.  See our product pages for ideas or you may find something that you would want to add to your home space. I also highly recommend if nothing else, to cleanse your space and yourself daily to cleanse unwanted energy. You can use the sage and cedar mist or burn sage. I have the sage in the tripod stand and a mist. Take time out to get quite and reflect on what you want your space to feel like. Then go for it!

Paradigms and Dimensions

A paradigm is a set of assumptions that define how we look at the world. An example of a paradigm is that we all thought that the world was flat and accepted this as true. Then, along comes Columbus and he discovers the world is round and not flat at all. This sent everyone up in arms, saying this is impossible and crazy. We succumbed and had to adjust to a new perspective. The new thought was the world was indeed round. We had to let go of the old belief of the world being flat. A dimension encompasses entire realities that overlap each other. Dimensions are based on the frequency of vibration. The dimensions, also, get lighter in density as the frequency accelerates faster. The lower the frequency, the more dense the matter, the lower amount of cognitive understanding. Here are some descriptions for the different dimensions: 1st Dimension - The Mineral Kingdom - The heaviest dimension. 2nd Second Dimension - The Plant Kingdom 3rd Dimension - The Animal Kingdom - The lower to mid-level intelligence of the Human Species. This thought process is about survival and is centered around the "I" self - eat, drink, sleep and provide for oneself. This is where the majority of the human race has resided. It is "Ego" based in time, space, direction and it represents: Past, Present and Future Karma (Cause and effect) Separateness (Instead of Inclusiveness) 4th Dimension - We have now begun the shift of a higher frequency and vibration. This shift requires us to become more evolved, so that we may adjust and adapt to this forward movement. The fourth Dimension starts a REVOLUTION OF THOUGHT - a paradigm, which is how we look at the world and an EVOLUTION OF SPECIES. Some say this may actually be altering our human bodies anatomy and creating more strands of DNA to help us evolve. This frequency shift is part of what we are feeling as in the example that time is going way too fast. And, the once clear lines between past, present, and future are diminishing. We are learning to "live in the now". What we once knew as real and true is changing by the day. We are being shown that we are responsible for our actions and we are asked to take a look at our choices. We have to change our behavior from neglect and disregard for the earth and all of its inhabitances on it. We have become "greed" based and cavalier with an attitude of say-la-vie. This attitude, my friends, is no longer going to be. We are to correct this behavior in the Fourth Dimensional frequency or cease to exist. Our beliefs are being challenged, so we can come into a new way of living and understanding. Remember, things have to break down, so we can rebuild a new healthy society. Until we start to change ourselves individually and collectively and start working towards a cooperative, global world, things will continue to deteriorate until we get it. We determine how far we fall and how soon we start to pick everything up. We are all good at cooperative rebuilding, as we have seen this in crisis after crisis. The outpouring of compassion and our tenacity to help thy neighbor shows up in contribution every time. And, this very thing is what we are called to do NOW! We will pretty much stay in the Fourth Dimension for a while as this is where we will have opened our minds to all working together for the common good of all living things. A new rebuilding will be taking place in every aspect of our society. In the Fourth Dimension, you learn about your true self and live it. We start to change our thought process from apathetic beliefs to positive possibilities, so as to create an outcome we are looking for. We learn that we create our own Universe and we can change it anytime, so we must start to break down our belief systems because they are limiting and no longer serve our purpose. We become "open" to "new" thought. We go to and out of the box thinking and start working from our intuition so that we can create a sustainable world. Our thought process is no longer limited and we realize: We Are Not In Kansas Anymore TOTO! We Are In A Brave New World!! When these changes have become second nature to us and we have made this a part of our reality, we are then able to experience the Fifth Dimension and up. The frequency shift here becomes fluid and we are able to go back and forth into the different levels of understanding. This all happens because we are keeping our perspectives open to new ideas and are firmly grounded in the energy of the Fourth Dimensional perspective of peace. In the Fifth Dimension, we are able to experience and create manifestation and co-creation; however, you must first believe in the power of your thoughts that all things are possible. Our desires are clear and open to creating. So, you must believe undeniably in what you are creating. You are able to send out the intention in thought, word, and deed. It starts to manifest. We create our own experiences. You will, also, be able to watch it in motion without doing anything. Quite remarkable! This energy comes from a high frequency of Fifth Dimension and above. It is blended opaque energy of white haze that is very fast giving you an image of your thought and then through your interpretation of this picture an answer comes. I have had this experience a few times where I just desired something and I watched the process while the energy started manifesting. It was doing creating through my thoughts. I just sat and watched the show, so to speak. It's like a musical orchestration. It is magical. I can say, it can be almost like jumping into a picture like in the movie Mary Poppins. This happened coming out of being in a physical location that carried this frequency and being with a group of higher consciousness people. This was an incredible experience. We are now being asked to be open in our perspective and to believe in things that we can't see. Why? Because we are asked to learn to count on our intuition. It's not just seeing is believing, it is, also, a gut level feeling and a knowing that you experience internally. We are asked to eliminate all judgments of others and start creating a global love and appreciation for all mankind. In conclusion, it is our responsibility to make our individual changes. We are asked to expand our minds and our hearts, so we are an example to others. In my opinion, I believe that even though it may seem like dark times, it is up to us to make it brighter no matter what the challenges are. Let's hold the candle of light and kindle the next person's candle beside us and continue to pass this flame on until one day we have created a world of peace. All of this does not have to be a dream. Together and collectively, we can make this a reality. Remember: You Fight Dark With Light and Fear With Love... Jodi Hershey JOYJourneyOfYou.com
