The Power of 2 – Or 3

emaxLeave a comment

It started as an experiment. 

A few years ago I went through a pretty big health challenge related to post-Covid burnout.

Landed me in the ER.

Slow Steps

An avid walker I chose to walk a path back to health.  Aided by homeopathy and nutrition I did not accept prescription medication.

Day after day, often multiple times a day I walked with a focus on nothing more than trying to get away from my own overly cluttered mind.  During this time I stumbled on a unique approach to healing.

Texting.

A Friend in Need

As members of my family were also dealing with post-Covid stress I searched for a way to heal that wouldn’t add to their burden.  Walking did about 75% of the work as it allowed me to think about nothing.

Is A Friend Indeed

During these months I began texting with a friend I’d known for decades.

Worked with him in tech, stayed friends long after I’d left the company and moved across the country.

Peas in a Pod

At the time he was facing his own challenges.

My family was empathetic and caring to what he was dealing with and consistently passed on their support and well-wishes.

An Experiment

Walking mile after mile 7 days a week regardless of weather helped me regain my equilibrium. Eager to move forward I searched for a way to redirect my thoughts so I didn’t regress.  The answer – surprisingly – came from the mundane.

“How’s the weather?”

This simplistic small-talk was a way for us to stay in touch and not flood the other with something out of their control.  

Compassion is wonderful but it can lead to burdening the empathic/ sympathetic – something neither of us wanted to do to the other.  

Small talk kept it real.

One morning I sent a text asking if he’d be up for a light-hearted experiment.  

Talk About the Weather

“Wanna see if we can draw energy to synchronize the weather?”

The intent was no different than someone who prays for rain or relief from snow and cold.  

The Key.

Our experiment would never stand up to the scientific method but that wasn’t the point.  It was two people trying to help each other through a rough patch by focusing on something mundane.

Our results were good enough I asked if he’d be willing to take it a step further.

To Help Others

I knew of a number of individuals who needed a bit of help with various aspects of life.  I asked my friend if he’d pool his good vibes/prayer energy with mine to see if our positive energy would have a positive effect.

I use the term prayer loosely as he was not brought up in any denomination though he has a solid sense of caring about others. I felt/feel his positive energy could only help.

Our results were consistently positive and soon we were pinging each other for various causes.  We were very choosy.

Valuing each other’s contribution we never asked unless it was important.  

We never wanted to overwhelm or unduly burden.  

There came a point where I roped in a family member, making our Two-man group into a Three-man group that occasionally focuses energy on a project that will help others.

Though each of us uses a different method, a shared philosophy of believing our pooled energies make a difference, alongside a sincere desire to help, fuels our successes.

Love caring and positive energy joined together can bring miracles.

Be well.

For this final installment of Life Creates Art Creates Life I’m going to discuss two amazing coincidental parallels to plot elements in my Metatron’s Army series.

Background

While doing EMF Sensitivity research in Asia I came across a number of physical similarities to plot elements in a fiction story I began working on in high school.

 The Lounge

I had a routine wherein I would spend time in the hotel lobby working on EMF Sensitivity revelations.

On a particular day I looked up and was startled by what to most people would seem an ordinary if stylish table lamp.  

It stood out because the square base put me in the mind of a lamp the heroine is fascinated by while sitting in a study lounge.  

What alternately intrigues and disgusts her is for all the time she’s spent in the technologically advanced universe she has no idea how it remains lit given there is no electrical cord or anything else to suggest how it works.  An explanation is provided in Book 3 of the series.

From Positional Play

Alexander left, returning with a table lamp that resembled the one in the study lounge.  Just like the other, this lamp had no plug.

 “It runs on a rechargeable energy circuit.”  He lifted it up to show the bottom.  “It charges by setting it on the recharging surface.”

Though the table lamp in the hotel lobby was different in design I always visualized the recharging surface to be square.

And finally…

A Hero’s Real-Life Counterpart

I was fortunate to meet a couple who became friends of ours.  Over the course of our friendship I learned that like Shane Turner – a main character in the series – the husband protected his high-school friend (now wife) from a bad home situation by opening the window when she showed up frightened, not knowing where else to turn.

Christine does this with Shane, running across town at night and tossing rocks at his second story window to wake him up.  He lets her in and keeps her safe, trying to comfort her while she shakes.

On a side note:  The Turner house in Berkley, MI is based on a house around the block from a childhood friend of mine.

It’s been a bit surreal to see all these parallels to my fiction but for someone passionate about manifesting through visualization?  It’s also gratifying.

EMF Sensitivity and the Electrical System

emaxLeave a comment

I recently wrote how cool it is to have my work on EMF Sensitivity validated independently.

Especially when I’ve never met the scientists who used globally accepted standards of the “Scientific Method” for their research.

You can imagine my delight at seeing another article that not only validates my research and experience but that touches on the motivation behind my App and Workbook Destination Unknown: Explorations of the Paranormal.

My life has been touched by the paranormal for as long as I can remember and I have always looked for a logical scientific explanation even as I came to realize there isn’t always one.

Go figure.

It was this reality that motivated me to write the workbook that evolved to an app.  In short?  People all over the world experience phenomena for which they have no explanation and while various factors influence how they deal with it, most want some sort of explanation.

And tools to deal with it.

Factors include beliefs that are

  • Personal
  • Communal
  • Cultural
  • Religious
  • Political

When researching remedies and tools to deal with the inexplicable, I peeled those factors back and went for the scientific underpinnings that could provide reference if not an explanation.

Just as Erik Bard sought when exploring Skinwalker Ranch.

I’d never heard of Skinwalker Ranch but after learning of it? Given I’m a walking EMF meter I’d love to visit/explore.

Wouldn’t It Be Cool?

I’ve written about life events that inspired the Metatron’s Army series.

A series I worked on for decades.

Art Creates Life

I mentioned how an opportunity to do EMF Sensitivity research in a different part of the Ring of Fire led to observing the first of a number of startling similarities to scenes from various books in the series.

The first was the most startling and primed me for what came after.  Specifically?  Finding an uncanny similarity between my location and the city near the Dynamic Academy that plays a central role in the story.

From Bishop Pair

Having just arrived at the Academy that morning she had yet to get a lay of the land.  As she understood it, the campus was surrounded by Touring, a large city that was a cross between Manhattan and Star Wars’ Cloud City.

What’s in a Name?

I named the city for Alan Turing, a brilliant man who accomplished incredible breakthroughs.

There are additional similarities I’ll be covering in future posts.

Life Creates Art

The summer before my sophomore year in high school I began writing what would become Metatron’s Army.  It was a way for me to sort through images and impressions from an NDE experienced at the age of 10 after I fell off a diving board and suffered a subdural hematoma.

I died three times in three days.  The first was in the ER where I floated over my body and looked down on my dad talking to the doctor.  

Some years later when I could bring myself to talk about it I told my dad what I saw and heard.  With tears in his eyes he validated my memory.

The second was a short time later when they were performing emergency brain surgery.  

This is when I had the NDE.

The third was cardiac arrest on the third day.  

I do not remember that one.

Decades were spent on plot, world building, and character development.

It became a living movie inside of me.

Art Creates Life

I was fortunate to have an opportunity to do EMF Sensitivity research in a different part of the Ring of Fire.  

One morning while at breakfast I looked up to see a scene from one of the books in my MA series directly in front of me.

I was shocked.

Scene From Book 3 Positional Play

Like I was at the time, two main characters are sharing a meal.

They wound their way along paths twisting through the forest.  “How is it warm in here?”

“The temperature is regulated in the normal fashion.”

“You mean these trees are growing inside?”

“The retractable ceilings are made of clear material you would liken to reinforced glass.  It allows light in but keeps the elements out.”

“I thought I saw wildlife in some of the trees.”

“You did.”

“So, it’s like a giant zoo and we’re part of the exhibit?”

“Freedom is not determined by the presence or absence of walls, Princess.”

Coincidence?

It was the first of a series of images that mirror scenes in the series.

EMF Sensitivity Research in Asia 3

emax1 Comment

Wrapping up EMF Sensitivity research in Asia.  I had a number of opportunities to test what if any EMF Sensitivity I may have while traveling around Thailand.  

Just as with Hong Kong I verified I’m no longer sickened by EM frequencies.  

The most telling was time in a laser museum where I walked through several rooms with amazing laser technology, including one room where if you pressed various images they would respond with sound and animation.  

I visited several temples where I was exposed to a variety of frequencies.

None of which were problematic.

When it comes to manifesting I’ve had a number of success stories but I believe this one is the most profound.

Be well.

EMF Sensitivity – The Migraine

emaxLeave a comment

Excited to continue EMF Sensitivity research in Asia.  This segment introduced an unexpected experience that isn’t the result of exposure to an Atmospheric EM Frequency so much as an atmospheric pressure change.

To provide context Atmospheric is one of the GATE frequencies I’m sensitive to:

  • Geologic
  • Atmospheric
  • Technologic
  • Esoteric

Specific to Atmospheric EM sensitivity

Starting when I was 13 I experienced horrific migraines beginning 48 hours prior to a thunderstorm.  The pain lasted until the thunderstorm passed, was excruciating and generally necessitated a trip to the ER where I was treated with a narcotic that did nothing to stop the pain but allowed me to sleep.  In general the thunderstorm was out of the area when I woke.  Needless to say this made spring and autumn in Michigan challenging.

Especially when I woke in the middle of the night with pain so severe I wound up in the ER which – because of the treatment – meant I had to wake someone else – usually my mom and/or stepdad to come and get me since I couldn’t drive on that medication.

Over forty years later I discovered a cure and until the night before last have not experienced a migraine since.  

The only time I got a headache was sinus and even that was rare.

And then…

I’m in a part of the world where humidity is intense with pressure changes in hours instead of days. 

Two nights ago I woke at 3am with a migraine the likes of which I hadn’t experienced in years.  The pain was as if someone was repeatedly stabbing a knife into my skull/brain.  I managed to find relief using the Silva headache relief script and while it was gone when I woke a few hours later I was out of sorts from lack of sleep.  

When my head started to pound the next afternoon I knew I needed sinus medication.

It was the intense humidity – like I’d dealt with – unsuccessfully – for years in the Midwest.

The woman at the front desk advised we go to the 7-11 where “regular” medicine was available.

Define Regular

There was nothing “regular” about the medicines including and especially the local answer to Sudafed. 

Tea?  No.  Herbs.

When we got to the room Aaron pulled the contents.  I was expecting capsules not herbs in a little white cheesecloth.

To be honest I was crestfallen.  I was in serious pain and was about to attend a social function.  I envisioned another pain-filled sleepless night ahead of me.

Aaron suggested I could get warm water at the restaurant where the event was being held to steep herbs with scents I immediately recognized.

I’ve used herbs for healing for decades.

When I held up the container and asked the waitress for warm water she explained.  “You do not steep, you sniff.”

She went on to say many people carried this remedy, that you could smell it when they walked by.

The herbs are pungent.

I was ambivalent but given her familiarity with the remedy and how common it was decided the least I could do was give it a go.

Familiar Scents.

The herbs were ones I’d used decades earlier when trying to address the humidity-caused migraines.

  • Fenugreek – good for headache
  • Eucalyptus – good for clearing the sinuses

I took fenugreek in capsules and did steam with eucalyptus oil added. It didn’t work too well.

I set the herbs next to the bed and, closing my eyes, breathed deep.  Within 20 minutes the pain was gone.

It took about four deep inhales spaced a few minutes apart.

What does it smell like?  Vicks inhaler.

All I know is it worked and I got desperately needed sleep.

I look forward to sharing more as I continue to my research.

Be well.

Manifesting 101: Two For One

emax2 Comments

As I write in my Bio I’ve had the good fortune to work, live, and travel throughout the world, during which I was exposed to a variety of cultures and met wonderful people from all walks of life and while this had been a desire from early childhood, there came a point where I needed a break.  

My EMF Sensitivity research had us moving every two years.

In addition to numerous moves my research had us criss-crossing the country.

Multiple times.

The upside to all this travel was the ability to fulfill and another childhood wish – visit places I’d read about in schoolbooks.

Especially At Home Around the World, a geography textbook published by National Geographic.

Fascinated by how different environments translated to different housing, social norms and lifestyles I hoped to someday visit some of these locations, including those where the societies who lived there were lost to history.

I was particularly interested in visiting the Pueblos, including Chaco Canyon.

 Work and Tour

From autumn of 93 to summer of 94 I traveled extensively.

Flying out Sunday or Monday returning Friday or Saturday – for months.

I tried to schedule time to do a bit of exploring.

My favorites were New England and Washington DC as there are numerous tourist attractions close to the cities where I was working.

Tour and Work

By the time I figured out what was causing the mysterious and debilitating symptoms that started after I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, I was no longer in tech.

Ready for change I went back to school and earned a doctorate in holistic healthcare and later a bachelors in holistic childcare.

My initial EMF Sensitivity research had us driving all over the San Francisco Bay Area which is how I learned I could detect the ultra-low and very low EM Frequencies emitted by geologic fault lines in the hours and days before a quake.

As I write in Riding the Waves: Diagnosing, Treating, and Living with EMF Sensitivity, I was able to predict earthquakes up to 15 miles away knowing the day and time within minutes and knowing the strength within .10 on the richter scale.

I sensed faults USGS was not aware of until and unless there was a quake.

Before long we were driving coast to coast with a focus on the West/Southwest United States in search of EMF Sensitivity answers.

Because I didn’t discover the root cause let alone a cure until 2014 being so ill had us moving every two years.

A Childhood Dream Come True

We spent time in every location visiting historical sites and immersing ourselves in local culture.

Travel Burnout

By the time we relocated to the Pacific Northwest where I was eager for the opportunity to continue the journey of research and healing we were ready for a travel break.

Expanding the Travel Horizon

Eventually I was ready to travel again. I ’d seen much of the United States, Canada, and a bit of Latin America so decided to focus on working and traveling internationally.  

My lifestyle had changed dramatically and I wasn’t looking to relocate with a corporate job so I turned it over to the Universe.

Manifesting 101.

I’ve had excellent luck manifesting by writing my goals so I got out my trusty notebook and pen and went to work.

Books that teach manifesting techniques are listed in the Resource Section of my website.

Faith

Though I was eager to travel and work internationally, even imagined various scenarios, I couldn’t see how it’d be possible without going back to corporate.  

When it comes to international moves, corporate relocation packages are a whole other level of complexity.

I’d tried to relocate to Europe several times throughout my years in tech only to be told that while I qualified, the companies were required to consider candidates in the following order of priority

  • In country
  • On continent
  • Abroad

The desire to travel and work internationally never went away.

Even after I married and had a family we looked for the opportunity.

Let Go

A key part of manifesting is letting go of the outcome as it brings the goal to fruition that much quicker.

Easier said than done.

This has been one of the most challenging aspects for me.

If I take the energy to put pen to paper?  The desire is serious.

Write or Type?

I’ve had as much success typing goals into a Word document as writing them in a spiral bound notebook.

Life Intervenes.

A number of factors including Covid Lockdown rerouted my focus to more important matters and as months turned to years I forgot about the desire to travel and work internationally.

It helps I was able to take advantage of a holiday in Vancouver, British Columbia to test the status of my EMF Sensitivity.

I sensed an underwater volcano geologists were not aware of – according to their press release – until several weeks after I told Aaron during our time there that there was one where it was later confirmed.

I was still going through the process of healing.

I felt symptoms though they weren’t as severe as what I’d been living with in the SF Bay Area.

Wouldn’t It Be Cool?

I’ve written how there have been points in time where I said  Wouldn’t it Be Cool? only to find years later I’m living it.

Shortly after confirming I’m no longer sickened by EMFs even as I remain aware of them I considered it would be cool if I could see how I responded to EM Frequencies, including and especially geologic EM Frequencies in another part of the world.

It was a random fleeting Wouldn’t It Be Cool? thought.

Life Intervenes

As fate would have it I got the opportunity to travel to Asia and while this opportunity fell under the holiday umbrella I couldn’t help marveling at the fact another Wouldn’t It Be Cool? had manifested.

Two actually.

Not only would I be able to research the effects, if any, of EM Frequencies on my person, I fulfilled the goal to travel and work internationally.

I hope readers are inspired by my stories and pursue their dreams and goals.

Be well.

After the Storm: Healing Never Stops

emaxLeave a comment

It’s been a heavy week life-wise so decided to put headphones on and tune out. 

Or in as the case may be.

For some days Ordinary World by Duran Duran has been going through my head.

Saw them at Pine Knob when they first sang this beautiful tune. Sat on the lawn along with high school peeps I hadn’t seen in over ten years along with fiancé who was a good sport given he took me – willingly – to the H.O.R.D.E. festival weeks earlier.

Wanting to just let my mind go I looked through a window at the trees.

The Lighs

Out of the corner of my left eye I saw lights flashing.

I listen to music on YouTube because the sound quality – due to compression rate –is superior to iTunes.

I turned to see there were lights flashing in the video.

I was surprised I’d seen lights flashing from my left when my head was turned so far right. There’s a reason for this.

No Really – Lights!

Readers and followers know when I was 10 I misjudged, fell off a diving board and suffered a subdural hematoma that left me blind, paralyzed on my left side, and in a coma.

I died 3 times in 3 days and had an NDE.

One of the casualties was diminished vision on my left side.  I was told I’d have to live with it.

Grandma to the Rescue

My paternal grandmother advised me to do exercises to help the situation and throughout the years things have improved but I wasn’t satisfied.

Enter the Mantra

Three years ago I felt fed up with what I thought were mediocre results.  I knew from my visualization work I could do better.  Determined I added a mantra to my daily walks.

I have excellent vision.  I have excellent eyesight.

Day after day, week after week, rain, snow, sun I repeated these words.

For years.

When I saw the lights flashing?  The mantras worked.

My body obeyed my manifestation intent.

The Flip Side

In the aftermath of the brain surgery I was subjected to EEGs multiple times a month every month for years.  During these tests they flashed lights at me in an attempt to induce a seizure.

Thankfully it didn’t happen but it was a miserable experience for a 10-year old sitting in the basement of a hospital to endure.

Today?  Those flashing lights showed me I’ve turned a dramatic corner.

When I was 16 I was told I would never heal. I would always be “that way.”

Obviously they were wrong.

I can see clearly now the rain has gone.

Be well.
