Manifesting For Someone Else: Divine Timing

emaxLeave a comment

Did a working lunch at a local place with a good vibe.  A guy who works came in for his shift as I was walking out.

Walking home.

I stopped to chat.  In particular I asked about his family.

His grandmother lives in the path of the tsunami as well as typhoon season.

After assuring me all was good we chatted about music.

We’re both big time metal fans.

At one point I worried I was taking too much of his time.

He was the one talking but still.  It was shift change and the place was relatively busy.

I eventually made my way home and as I was waiting on a light at a busy intersection I hit the button for crossing then glanced back to see a guy standing behind me.  As he was taller than me – aka longer stride – I decided when the light changed I would allow him to go before me.

When the light chnged I turned around smiled and said “You can go ahead.”

As It Happens…

When he used body language to verify I realized a startling detail.

Walking Stick

The man was blind.

I never noticed the stick – only that he was wearing a fashionable hat to keep his face from burning in the sunshine and that he was taller than me.

I assured him he was safe and slipped in behind him to make sure no impatient drivers tried to do something stupid.

Wait!  There’s More!

Gotta love Ginsu right?

We got close to a very busy parking lot.

Fast food restaurant drive-thru at lunch hour.

I stopped and waited – called out to him I was going to keep us safe.

He had his cane going back and forth across the sidewalk.

I made sure the drivers ready to zip out of the parking lot saw me.

And by extension him.

We eventually went our separate ways.  As I was walking the final leg home I thought about the timing of it all.  I’d been worried I was going to get a worker in trouble for talking to him during lunch hour but if I hadn’t fought my initial thought to politely excuse myself so as not to get him in trouble?

I was really interested in everything the cool restaurant worker was telling me.  I did NOT want to get him in trouble!

I would have missed being there for someone who benefitted from my protective presence.

Divine Timing.

Thanks Universe!

Manifestation?

I was there when that guy benefitted from it.  I manifested safety which may have been on his mind.

It is a very busy highway with people who regularly fly through and do “No Cop No Stop” behavior.

Trust your instincts.

Be Well.

Podcast Resource Update

emaxLeave a comment

Sharing a quick update that I’ve added links referenced in the 2nd Podcast episode to the Podcast Resources page.  What makes this interesting in a synchronistic way is one of the stories I mention in this Podcast has to do with the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.  To understand why it’s particularly interesting I need to point out I wrote the script for the 2nd Podcast in early May.  I had no idea there was any sort of event regarding the Edmund Fitzgerald in the works.

If anything I’d think they’d do something in November.

Then I read the news this morning.

Turns out today is the day of the Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Swim.  Specifically, the 50th anniversary.

Wow.

I love synchronicities because it’s the universe telling us we’re on the right path.  To round this out I’ll share a story from the Podcast.

My maternal great-grandfather emigrated from Scotland to Detroit whereafter he owned a shipping company.  One of the ships in his fleet was the PS Tashmoo.  The bell from the Tashmoo is in the Maritime Sailors’ Museum in Detroit.

The bell that Gordon sings rang 29 times for each life on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

My Story

I used to have a very cool sweatshirt with a picture of the Tashmoo on it.  Years back Aaron and I were walking in Union Square in San Francisco when an older couple stopped us.  The man said “The Tashmoo?  How do you know about the Tashmoo?  You seem awfully young for that.”

I explained the ship was part of my maternal great-grandfather’s fleet to which he told me he and his wife who was standing beside him had their honeymoon on the Tashmoo.  He told me what a wonderful time it was and went on to share stories about her grandeur.

Have an awesome day. I hope life brings synchronicities that make you smile.

Be well.

2nd Podcast Available

emaxLeave a comment

I’m pleased to announce the 2nd Navigating the Holistic Path podcast is available.  This episode highlights the influence of others on our decision to live the holistic path.  Includes holistic versus allopathic approaches to health and wellness and tools and strategies for living the holistic path.

Audio Only.

I made the decision to switch to an audio only format to provide a better experience. 

This episode is different from the Welcome episode stylistically even as I include lots of information on holistic health practices.  While I summarize at the end of the episode listeners will infer from the stories what tools and practices belong in the holistic bag of tricks.

I hope you enjoy learning about the influence of others – including family – on our decision to live the holistic path.

And the tools and strategies to help you integrate holistic health practices into your life.

Be well.

A Fun Memory

emaxLeave a comment

Decided to share a light-hearted memory.  I’m listening to the Who’s Boris the Spider.

Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy is a favorite.

In addition to listening to the vinyl we had it on 45.

The memory.

While working for HP I attended a class in Corvallis Oregon, the training focused on a new network router that would manage loads in different time zones. 

Follow the sun where as one region is going to sleep another is waking up.

The servers would take the load off the networks.

Spreading the load makes for better and more consistent performance.

There were two classes ongoing in separate rooms.  I wound up in a room full of HPers from Canada.  We clicked and had a lot of fun working through the labs.

The instructor who was a very cool guy from San Diego would come over to see what we were laughing about.

We finished the labs early so asked if it was okay that we went to lunch.  

Comeraderie and Fun Stories.

While eating in the cafeteria we exchanged amusing stories on various topics.  One was spiders – who was and wasn’t afraid of them.

I’m not but shared a funny anecdote where several aunts saw a little one and went shrieking after which my grandmother said, “Oh for heaven’s sakes you’re afraid of that little thing?” then took care of it.  

I’m chuckling remembering how they scrambled over each other in an effort to get away from where it was sitting on the wall.

One of the guys told a story that had us laughing.

Though we were all very sympathetic to someone being afraid like that.

He got home from work to find his front door wide open.  As he walked into the house he called out to his wife.

No answer.

He walked around the house becoming more alarmed as he couldn’t find his wife and she wasn’t answering his calls.  

Then he got to the bedroom.

His wife was standing on the bed staring at the top of the bedroom doorway.  He walked in, turned to see what she was staring at.

A small house spider.

Turning back he asked if that was the problem.

He knew she was afraid of spiders but had never seen her like that.

She didn’t say anything though he saw the slightest nod.  After taking care of the spider his wife went rushing past.  

To the bathroom.

Apparently she was convinced that if she went through the bdroom door to get to the bathroom the spider would fall the moment she was beneath it and land on her.

Back to Class is Back to Fun.

The second and last day of the training went pretty much like the first with the Canadians and me having a blast working through the labs.

Which increased in difficulty throughout the class.

When the instructor came over toward the end of the second day I assumed it was just to see what we were laughing about.  

A Spoonful of Sugar …

Helps difficult labs go down.

Turns out the other class was seriously behind.  Not only that they were apparently complaining about how difficult the labs were.  When the instructor asked if we had any insight into the stark differences we searched for something to say.

None of us wanted to bad-mouth fellow HPers.

One of the Canadians made a comment about Canadians being good-natured.

Implying the other group came from a different region [of the US] and was likely culturally influenced.

The instructor looked at me and said, “You’re American aren’t you?”

I explained “Yes but I was born in Detroit and grew up in Michigan about 30 miles from the Canadian border.”  

I also supported global supply chain for the automotive industry so many Canadian companies were customers.

The fun rubs off.

I hope you are able to find fun moments in challenging situations.

Be well.

Projects Update

It’s been a busy few weeks at elizabethmaxim.com.

  • Finished Podcast 2

It’s in post production and will be available within a week.

  • Developed an app 

Focused on the 4th of the GATE EM Frequencies it will be available before the end of summer.

I will be speaking with Lloyd Burrell of ElectricSense about it in more detail in the fall.

  • Finished a Workbook

An accompaniment to the app.

  • Had important research validated.

By the USGS.

While I’m proud of all of the accomplishments that last one holds a special place.

We Have to Move

I was sickened by geologic EMFs.  We lived in the SF Bay Area. 

How do you explain the need to move when Aaron covered a territory as a corporate employee who directly contributed to sales?

I left corporate in 2003 to make elizabethmaxim.com a success. This was summer 2009.

I knew Aaron’s manager well.  

All of us worked at HP together.

Before he was a manager he was a fellow TC. We covered some of the same global accounts.

  Both of us experts in global supply chain management.

In spite of having known him for years I was beyond anxious at the thought of having to tell him we needed to move.

At that point?  EMF Sensitivity was accepted in pretty much every country except the United States.

I stood on my front lawn feeling sick from the EMFs of a fault line I knew but couldn’t prove ran down our street.  After a bit of polite chit chat I got to the point.

“Fault lines make me sick.”

He accepted my explanation without batting an eye, even followed up with geologic anecdotes that underpinned my experience.

A Bonus

With a PhD in chemistry he was able to move to a more scientific level of discussing what I was dealing with.

I told him I was writing a book on EMF Sensitivity and was split between going from the angle of chemistry or physics.

I’ve had a passion for physics since long before high school.

He generously spent time discussing the pros and cons of each after which I knew which way to go.

Though I took chemistry in high school and college it isn’t my strength.

For more on that not so fun part of my life

We bought high, had to sell low.

EMF Validation – Better Late Than Never

emax1 Comment

As I write in Riding the Waves: Diagnosing Treating and Living with EMF Sensitivity shortly after relocating to the SF Bay Area in 2000 I began experiencing debilitating mysterious life-altering symptoms that turned out to be the result of my sensitivity to ultra-low and very low EM frequencies.  Some of the worst symptoms were the result of my sensitivity to the EM frequencies released by geologic fault lines in the hours and days before an earthquake.

The book contains a copy of the journal I kept documenting my ability to predict earthquakes.

I consistently and successfully predicted the time of day, day of the week, size in magnitude and which fault line was going to pop based on how severe the physical symptoms – which included nausea, headaches, and dizziness – were.

I was able to predict quakes on fault lines up to 15 miles away days before the quake happened within .1 on the richter scale and within minutes of the event.

The book also contains details of how I validated my sensitivity to fault lines.  I explain that while information from the USGS was able to confirm the location of majority of the fault lines I identified in a double blind test, there were fault lines I ID’d that USGS had no record of – until there was a quake.

They published in the paper the quake happened on a “previously unknown fault.”

Once I realized it was the ultra-low and very low EMs coming from geologic fault lines making me so sick I told Aaron there was a fault line running down our street.

I could feel it.

USGS had no record of a fault where I insisted it was.  

I Knew It!

This morning I saw an article in SF Chronicle detailing the discovery of a previously unknown fault line.  The map shows the fault runs down the street we lived on.

Exactly where I said it was.

We visited the Bay Area the summer of 24.  Though the trip was for pleasure it was an opportunity to see if I was sickened in locales that used to cause me grief.

Such as the Railroad Museum in Sacramento.

We visited our old neighborhood where I walked up the street to see if I could still feel the fault and whether it would make me ill.

Was I truly cured of my sensitivity?

As I explain in my interview with Lloyd Burrell of Electricsense I’m no longer sickened by these frequencies even as I remain aware of them.

I felt the fault line with every step I took.

For more on this oh so adventurous part of my life see The World of EMF on elizabethmaxim.com.

Be well.

Look for the Bright Spots

Getting ready to record the next podcast episode.  This one is different stylistically as it focuses more on the nurture side of things but the stories provide context and there’s plenty of information on how to integrate holistic health practices into everyday living.

Sharing the stories had me thinking of how throughout my life – a life filled with plenty of adversity – I always had some wonderful positive experience (or person) to offset or perhaps more apt – get me through that adversity.

To Give Context

I’m wearing a cool t-shirt with Tarpon Springs (FL) on the front.  While on my walk this morning I chatted with someone who thought she’d been there.

I walk 7 – 10 miles a day 7 days a week.

As we compared notes it became evident we were talking about the same cool place.  

Closing the Gap

The process of comparing notes had me describing the area in detail.  A big part of that was talking about the sponge docks where the boats in the harbor gather sponges from the sea floor, bring in shrimp, and a handful who do whaling.

It was when I described how they celebrate the Epiphany she knew we were talking about the same place.

It’s so cool.

As I was finishing my walk and just now sitting here I was thinking about why I knew so much about this place.  

That knowledge certainly didn’t come from going to school there for a handful of months.

A classmate I befriended invited me to her home.

A small sailboat she shared with her dad and older brother.

She walked me through the area and introduced me to a number of guys who made their living by the sea.

And who were fiercely protective of her and by extension – me.

I loved learning the whaling boat in the harbor that day had a kitty who loved to sail the seas.

What’s special about this? It’s one of many rays of sunshine that poked through clouds over my life.

My parents were on the verge of a divorce that plunged my mom brother and I into financial hardship as well as a host of other fun pieces to the separation puzzle.

It’s a reminder to look for the bright spots because they’re there even in the midst of chaos.

Be well.

It’s the Simple Things

emaxLeave a comment

Hello readers and visitors!  Hoping you’re finding time to enjoy the day.

I’ve loved roses for as long as I can remember – tried growing them in Michigan once I owned my own house but for reasons – beyond long brutal winters – wasn’t successful.

That didn’t mean the desire didn’t live in my heart.

As luck would have it the house we bought in the East Bay (CA) had a couple of rose bushes.  Problem?  I didn’t know how to care for them.

Neighbor to the Rescue!!

I was fortunate to live next to a woman who was more than happy to share her knowledge of all things Mother Nature with me.

We used to enjoy chilled white wine overlooking our efforts in the summers while she – older – shared life’s wisdom with me.

Fast Forward

The simple pleasures.

I normally have tennis shoes on when I grab my garden hose and – after turning the spigot – pull it down the drive to water plants.  Today was different.

Meeting of the Happy Kind

As it happened I had a set time where I’d be talking on the phone with a longtime friend. Given I wasn’t wearing socks or shoes in my house I saw no point – given the beautiful weather we’re having – to don them when I stepped to my porch for a chin wag.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve been outside in bare feet.

After concluding the call I looked over – realized the flower and fauna I’ve been babying could use a dose of water.  Not bothering to put on shoes I stepped over to turn on the spigot.

Wow! Mother Nature!

Halfway across the driveway I stopped to consider how long it had been since I’d run across cement or put my bare feet in dirt

  Memory upon memory …

As a kid I spent my life running around in bare feet, uncaring how the hot cement of the sidewalks and driveway burned.

I remember the feel of grass on my feet – the feel of mud near the river at the local park.

The Sun Shines

About a half hour later a neighbor went by.  Smiling I told him of the joy of watering my flowers.  It was only ten minutes later I understood the look of confusion on his face.

Why would you water flowers with a garden hose when you have a sprinkler system?

Because to do otherwise would deprive me of the simple pleasures of life.

Visualization & Manfesting: Managing the Down Times

emaxLeave a comment
Water drop or rain drop falling on water surface. Liquid ripple splash in sunlight with reflection, macro image. Abstract background, 3D illustration

Came across two articles related to manifesting.

A topic I frequently write about.

It got me thinking.

Especially the visualization one.

I’m due for a refresh on my visualizations.

Life changes around us so it’s good to reevaluate your goals to ensure things are moving in the right direction.

As I sat down to my lunchtime reading it occurred to me I could share how I handle the between time.

The time between when goals are first visualized to when they manifest.

This particular between time has another angle.  I’m still interested in the goals I’ve been visualizing but I’m not putting specific visualizations behind them because of the nuances life’s changes have introduced.  These changes mean it’s premature to put visuals – which are powerful tools for manifesting – into practice.

Too many variables are in play.

My lunchtime reading had me realizing I’d unconsciously come up with a solution.

Don’t Visualize.

Yeah, right.

My mind doesn’t race but it does tend to not shut off.

I’ll wake in the night with an idea for a book or a podcast, etc.

While this is cool on the surface it can lead to burnout.

Been there, done that, don’t want the sequel.

I unconsciously chose an activity that soothes my active mind.

Nope, not walking.

I reread my favorite books!

I love reading.

Some of the books are stories I’ve written.  Others, novels by my favorite authors.

It’s an enjoyable activity that keeps my mind engaged to the degree I don’t stress over the fact it’s in between and I need to wait out a few things.

Things outside my control.

I consider it letting the soil rest so it will be ready when I plant the next seeds.

A hobby can be a wonderful way to distract the mind from what is outside its control and while in this particular case it’s rereading stories it could be playing a sport, building Legos, doing jigsaw puzzles.

Ideally it should distract and relax.

Be well and Happy Manifesting!

Did Homeopathy Speed Healing?

emaxLeave a comment

Wanted to share an observation that may help others.  

Anyone who’s listened to the introductory episode of my podcast series Navigating the Holistic Path: Integrating Holistic Health Practices Into Everyday Living knows I’m big on homeopathy as part of my holistic bag of tricks.  I recently had a healing experience that – as I aim for – gives context.

I’d been taking hypericum perforatum to address sciatic pain.  It didn’t take long to feel a significant reduction in pain but – as they say in Ginsu Knife land – there’s more!

I noticed I was sleeping better.  I went from [often] waking up between 1 and 3 am (after going to bed at 10 pm) to waking up after 4.

Going from 2 – 3 hours a night to 5.5 – 6!

One blessed day I woke up close to 6!

Curious I did a bit of research – saw that this is a homeopathic version of St. John’s Wort.

Homeopathic formulations are micro-doses and are not the same as their herbal counterparts.

St. John’s Wort is used to – among other things – help with sleep!

Ginsu Sharpening

There’s More!

The therapeutic nature of this homeopathic remedy is its effectiveness as an anti-inflammatory which is why it’s helpful with sciatica.  As it happens I was on my morning walk days back when I took a spill.  Putting my hands out I ended up scraping my right palm and left thumb to the degree there was a bit of bleeding.

Right knee too.

While it stung I continued on.

To walk it off.

I’m grateful for the commuters who stopped.

Offered to take me somewhere – made sure I was okay.

Am I Seeing This?

Sci-fi comes to life.

As I walked I periodically looked at my scuffed skin.

Kept mentally replaying what if I hadn’t… could I have avoided…?

I noted something pretty unbelievable.  It appeared as if my scrapes were healing before my eyes. They were literally disappearing!

Like something out of a sci-fi film!

Doubting Thomas Rides The Skies

I kept looking – kept seeing progress too quick to be believed.

And yet I was seeing it.

Plausible Explanation

I suspect having taken the hypericum – anti-inflammatory – for days before the spill meant my body was primed to throw healing resources at the wound.

Reducing inflammation so the body could heal as it’s meant.

And Now?

Within 2 days the wound was 1/4 in size.

No bruising – never was any which is fantastical given the fun of doing a baseball slide into rough pavement.

The thumb is completely healed and after 3 days the palm is almost free of any scabs.  

Incredible.

If I hadn’t seen it I would never have believed it.

This is the kind of story I share in my podcast series.

Real life.

Be well!
