Holistic Tool: Audio Nap

emaxLeave a comment

It’s been a chaotic exciting couple of weeks.  What makes it super cool is clearing the towering In Box.  I can FEEL the energy flowing.  To celebrate?  An audio nap.

A What?

As my mom will attest I’ve never been a good napper.

I’m one of those who feels worse after taking one.

Try Another Way

For a time I walked as it cleared the cobwebs.  Unfortunately it also stimulated creativity which somewhat defeated the purpose as I came back and started work on the next bit of chaos.

Which I spent the duration of the walk contemplating.

Music To The Rescue

From the time I was a baby and danced to the Beatles on 8 track on the back seat music has filled my soul in a unique way.

No seatbelts back then.

I grew up dancing in my living room to tunes played on 8 track 45s 33 ½ and 78.

The Beat of Your Soul

I played drums, clarinet, piano then tenor sax.

Letting go when time in tech infringed with playing.  

I had and have the passion of music in my soul – fed through whatever media is available.

We’ve Come a Long Way Baby

Thankfully and thanks to people like Steve Jobs and Neil Young mobile music has improved from the days of the Sony Walkman or mobile CD players that skipped.

The Brain’s Tired

Given how I’ve pushed myself I’m mentally fried.  If I tried having a traditional nap I’d lay staring at the ceiling an adrenal rush keeping me from sleeping as I know I’ll feel worse if I nap.

Audio Nap

They say music soothes the savage beast.  

I know it soothes the overworked soul.

I’ve put together a number of playlists for different moods, different scenarios.

One Scenario.  

My work is a labor of love.  

I sincerely aim to help others.

That drive can be the driver complete with a whip.

Projects

Before I tune into my tunes I’ll share what peeps can look forward to.

Esoteric EMFs – Humans Sensing Earthquakes

emaxLeave a comment

June 1994

Silicon Valley

I’d just moved into my apartment after transferring from Michigan for a job in tech.  I came out of a sound sleep and listened to try to determine what woke me up.  Seconds later the window blinds started bouncing against my window.  Moments later I heard a Pop Pop Pop and seconds after that the building started to shake.  My reacton?  I laughed.

I had a tall glass cabinet I hadn’t yet anchored to the wall.  I hoped I didn’t have to run – barefoot – through shattered glass on my way to the front door.

When I subsequently talked to my brother who’d recently moved back to the Midwest from Los Angeles he explained why I came awake before the shaking started.  

“You heard it.”

He went on to tell me of a time when he was returning from a business trip.  Getting in late and not wanting to disturb his sleeping family he went to sleep on the couch.  At some point he heard a “click.”  Knowing what it meant he leaped off the couch to get to his wife and baby who were asleep on a second level.  By the time he got to the stairs the shaking was so bad he couldn’t go up.

He told me the shaking was so bad the stairs were flat.

As I didn’t recall hearing anything yet knowing earthquake waves are sound waves I accepted the explanation.

Be Quiet!

We’re having an earthquake!

Not long after I was on a customer call in my cube in Santa Clara.  Out of nowhere I blurted – the customer was literally asking me a question “Be quiet!  We’re having an earthquake!”

I Don’t Feel It!

This customer worked in a nearby office.  When he protested he didn’t feel any shaking I snapped “Be quiet!”  Shaking started seconds later.  His response?  “Don’t you hang up on me!”

Colleagues in surrounding cubes dove under desks.  I sat holding the phone to my ear.

There was nothing nearby that might have hit my head.

When the shaking stopped the customer – badly shaken (pun intended) asked “How did you know that?”

I told him I heard it coming.  

Huh?

My explanation didn’t satisfy though two teammates who overheard me understood.

One of them also heard quakes before the shaking started.  He said “Did you notice I turned off my music?”

He used to play CDs in a CD reader on a DECstation.

In 2011 I published Riding the Waves: Diagnosing Treating and Living With EMF Sensitivity. In it I write of my ability to predict earthquakes.

Days before they happen.

I know which fault line will go

Even when USGS isn’t aware of it.

I know the day of the week the time of day within 2 minutes and the magnitude within .1 on the Richter scale.

This ability is due to my sensitivity to Geologic EM frequencies.

The other 3 GATE frequencies I’m sensitive to are Atmospheric, Technologic, and Esoteric.

NEW MATERIAL!

While this technically falls under Geologic the idea we – as humans – can predict earthquakes is esoteric in nature.

Isn’t That Special?

As Church lady would say.

I found it high irony to read an article about how it is so many woke up before the shaking started with a recent quake.  Why high irony?  I’m about to release an app for people whose lives are impacted by Esoteric EMFs.  This phenomenon is covered in the app and accompanying workbook.

It’s fun if not vindicating to see science catching up with nature.  When I published my book?  US scientists and medical professionals were the only in the world to deny EMF Sensitivity was real.

Good thing I ignored them.

I’ll share more on the app soon.

I’ll also be doing an interview about the app with Lloyd Burell of ElectricSense.

Stay tuned.

Metal in the Brain: EMF Life

emaxLeave a comment

It’s been a busy afternoon in EMF land.  I’m about to release an app and Handbook focused on Esoteric EMFs.

  

  • Ghosts
  • Psi
  • Hauntings
  • Sacred Spaces
  • Sensitivity to other People

And how these frequencies interact with and are impacted by

  • Geologic
  • Atmospheric
  • Technologic

EM frequencies.

Filled with tools and strategies that eliminate the negative impact of Esoteric frequencies the app and Handbook will appeal to novice and expert, to skeptic and believer alike.

As I was decompressing with music my mind drifted to one of my favorite human beings in the world.  My high school physics teacher Mr. Robert Parys.  I will never forget the day he learned I had a metal clip in my brain.

Titanium it was put in to stop bleeding from a subdural hematoma the result of falling off a diving board and hitting my chin on it on the way into the pool when I was 10 years of age.

He was – in a word – horrified.

“There’s metal in your brain?!”

As a 16-year-old I wasn’t particularly appreciative of the attention this got me.

I was the only female in the class of about 20.  Everyone turned to me expressions startled and horrified. You know – like I had a disease? 

Can we say “Yay?”

Note:  I had girlfriends who took physics.  They just had classes during a different time period.

To make matters worse – for me – he asked me to stay after class.

You can imagine what it was like to hear male feet shuffling by as they left. The sideways glances.

Oh just yay.

I tried pointing out I needed to get to my next class but he told me he’d write a note.

Joy.

The discussion led to more questions – his – than could be managed so he invited me to stay after school so he could learn more.  I had a job so this wasn’t easy but he was persuasive it would be worth my while.

I liked Mr. Parys.  He had a good sense of humor and related to students in a way that let them know he really cared about them, their dreams, goals, their success in life.

He spent time doing what he could to help students achieve their dreams.

Though I spent time answering his questions about life in the wake of an NDE with a metal clip in my head he is the one who gave the gift. Sharing his insight and access to materials meant I was able to conduct scientific research that helped me feel okay at a time when I didn’t…

I was still limping heavily after being paralyzed and my hair was still growing out after being shaved for emergency brain surgery.  You could still see a pretty big scar on my skull. Not a fun thing for a self-conscious teenage girl.

The groundwork he helped lay has led to the release of this app and Handbook.

Work that will help the world the way he helped his students.

His legacy lives on.

Teachers are amazing people who are often under appreciated.

I’m ever so grateful this one crossed my path.

The world benefits because he was a part of it.

RIP Mr. Parys.

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.

Ice Cream Man: We Need to Tell our Stories

emax2 Comments

I volunteer to help kids with literacy.  I showed up on a recent day and was asked if I’d be willing to work with a special needs child because the specialist had to call out.  Happy to do so I soon found myself in a secluded part of a hallway listening to a little boy read about a tour of an ice cream factory.

The nature of the program means the volunteers and students find places to sit together which may be in an overcrowded room with a cacophany of voices or in a hall where students changing classes walk by.

At one point he looked at me and asked “Why so many screams?”

This was after watching him struggle with the fact he was trying to form the thought.  Telling him to take his time seemed to help him relax and articulate what was on his mind.

Why So Many Screams?

I immediately picked up his concern over the word scream but also knew he lacked context.  I quickly explained it was a childhood rhyme.

I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream.

I suspected my explanation didn’t fly because he wasn’t familiar with the rhyme so I quickly explained it was something kids would call out when chasing the ice cream man.  This necessitated I explain what the ice cream man was.

And why kids would be chasing him.

I admit – I have not seen or heard an ice cream man in all the years I’ve lived in this region of the country but that didn’t stop me from telling this sweet boy

“I’m old.  When I was little in Michigan my friends and me would chase the ice cream man – you could hear him coming by the music in his truck – yelling “I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream.”

I watched him think over the honest explanation then slowly nod.  And then he smiled.

A beautiful smile that lit up his features.

He said “I can’t wait to tell my mom.”

I don’t know if his mom is a translplant from another part of the country – maybe a place where she grew up hearing the telltale sound of an ice cream truck coming in her direction – but it reinforces my belief that we need to share stories with our kids

and grandkids …

I saw first hand how the lack of knowledge confused and alarmed.

We need to tell our stories

To share wisdom and give context.

And to reassure.

Manifesting 101: Wouldn’t it Be Cool?

emaxLeave a comment

Happy New Year readers and visitors!  I hope 2025 brings joy and wonder.  

And good health!

Given many of us are thinking of what we want – or don’t – for the coming year I thought I’d share a holiday manifesting story.

On Christmas Eve I received a gift that included a hand-written note providing special information about each piece that was part of the gift.  Unfortunately in my haste to clean up wrapping paper the note was lost.  When I couldn’t find it I assumed it was accidentally thrown away.

I felt very bad as the gift giver made a point to tell me the note provided unique details about each piece.

Over the next days as I took my morning walk I considered the lost paper with no small regret.

I felt guilty I hadn’t slowed down to look at the paper when the gift giver mentioned it.

I did something else.  I visualized the paper in my mind and thought how cool it would be if it somehow turned up somewhere.  

As in maybe it didn’t get thrown out with the trash!

When I returned from my walks I would check various places thinking it might have wound up under a piece of furniture or in some other out of the way place.

No luck.

I continued to visualize the paper while I walked and casually thought how cool it would be if it turned up.

Randomly.  

I’d like to point out I did not consider what I was doing a manifestation attempt.

It wasn’t done with intent.

A few days ago I decided instead of taking down the Christmas tree I would go to the garage and break down boxes.

Which Aaron and I would take to the recycle center later this week.  

Normally I do this type of activity with Aaron but he was on a work call so I waded into the cardboard on my own.

Along with bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts.

I was about 2/3 through sorting recycle from trash – organizing it for further disposal when I reached into a small box and pulled out the mesh bag that had held the gift.  Setting it aside – it too had gone missing – I thought “Wouldn’t it be cool if I found that paper in some box?”  

Drum Roll

I reached into the same box seconds later and withdrew the paper I thought lost!

What makes this pretty cool from the Manifesting 101 side

  • Though I was unhappy about losing the paper I didn’t do the visualization with the intent to find it.

It was one of a number of thoughts that went through my mind while walking on a chilly morning.

  • The Wouldn’t it be Cool? was not a heart-rending level of emotion tied to it all.

In spite of my disappointment at losing the paper.

  • Something told me to break down the cardboard boxes rather than take down the Christmas tree in spite of knowing I’d be doing it myself.

It’s an activity Aaron and I enjoy doing together.

  • If Aaron had been helping me chances are the paper would have been tossed into a recycle bag and lost for good.

I didn’t tell anyone I’d lost the paper so Aaron wouldn’t have known to keep an eye out for it.

Wouldn’t It Be Nice?

I want to circle back to what I feel is an important point when it comes to manifesting.

Pun intended.

The concept of releasing/letting go of attachment to an outcome is considered an important step in manifesting.  It’s also one of the steps I’ve had the biggest challenge with.

How the heck can you not feel emotion about something you want?

Some part of me must have been working in the background over the years to give me the key to this step because I’ve come to see that whenever I’ve manifested something it went with the following

Wouldn’t It Be Cool?

Or Wouldn’t It Be Nice?

I don’t know if this will work for others but for me when I feel that phrase?  The emotion attached is pretty low level.

Caveat

This isn’t to say it means I don’t care if I get it or not or that I’m not prepared to accept what goes along with having it.  It’s just that I recognize my life won’t be ruined if it doesn’t happen.

I had a plan B – to talk with the individual who designed the piece so I could get the information.

Knowing this, I can frame future efforts in such a way as to lower emotional noise that would interfere with its coming to be.
