New Fiction: Project Update

emaxLeave a comment

Hope everyone is doing well.  I’m excited to announce after years in which I never thought I’d be able to write again…

Thank you post-Covid burnout.

I’m about to release a work of fiction and already at work on the follow-up.

Soothsayer – a Port Gallatan novel – was released some years ago.  I was never satisfied with it so I pulled it, set it aside.

Never thought I’d touch it again – just assumed I’d work on the follow-on which will launch into a sub-series I’m really excited about.

The Idea That Won’t Die

The same challenge that haunted me years ago has been eating up mental cycles in recent months.  I wanted to move on to this very cool sub-series but there was another book that had to happen first and for that to happen – I had to release the follow-on to Port In a Storm.

Any other way would be a betrayal to the series and my vision for it.

Digging deep I pulled together the same energy that put me on this path in 2011 when I published Riding the Waves.

Courage to face the unknown.

I edited the manuscript, updated it with an eye to how the winds of fiction shift.

In terms of manuscript this translates to grammar as well as the potential for an oversaturated market.

I’m proud to say Soothsayer will be available soon.

With Gimme Shelter in the works.

Release dates TBD.

I’m also determined to make Podcast 4 work.

Stay tuned.

From There to Here: The Journey

emaxLeave a comment

The journey to pursue my dream of being a writer is nothing like I envisioned when I left corporate in 2003.

3 months after being awarded a doctorate in holistic health.

I certainly never thought I’d come face to face with EMF Sensitivity which sent my vision on a serious detour.

From fiction writing.

While I’m the proud author of a number of fiction works nonfiction continues to take a significant place in my work and my life.

I have a passion for drawing on knowledge and experience to help others.

And then there’s the apps. 

Though I spent decades in tech with programming experience in multiple languages it had been years since I’d done any programming.  

Aaron to the Rescue!

My husband who supported my dreams from when I shared them on our first date and who’s been my partner in the madness of leaving safety to follow a dream offered to write the code if I gave him the content and the intent.

I’m proud of my work as all of it has been created with a passion for helping others.

Fiction is a wonderful way to explore a world you never knew existed and to take your mind off your troubles.

I can add that I’m hard at work on Podcast 4: Dealing with stressful and toxic environments holistically.

New EMF App

emaxLeave a comment

I am so excited to announce the availability of Destination Unknown: Explorations of the Paranormal, an EMF project years in the making.

Why so Long?

Experience made me aware of the negative impacts of Sensitivity to Esoteric EM frequencies but I struggled to find a way to do justice to the subject.  

Under the umbrella of my work on EMF Sensitivity.

A Project of the Heart

It was after talking with someone severely affected by these frequencies I knew I had to figure it out.

It was heartbreaking to hear him cry as he recounted experiences that were turning his life upside-down.

I asked him to give me time to organize my thoughts and get tools and strategies into a format I could share with him.

Interest 

It came as no surprise when soon after making the decision to take on this challenge I began running into people expressing interest in the subject matter. Obviously, the Universe was listening.

A good thing as I was feeling quite anxious about the project.

Need

More striking is the number of people who reached out to me in the months after I made the choice, seeking help for dealing with the toll these frequencies were taking on them.  

What makes this so striking is none of them were aware of the project.

I will be following up personally with them in the days to come.

Formats

The information is available as an app and as a workbook.

I hope you enjoy the fruits of a labor of love.  Be sure to listen to the message at the bottom of the page.

Podcast 3: Reflective of Me

emaxLeave a comment

Happy and proud to announce Podcast Three: Caring for Family Holistically is available.

Fork In the Road.

The decision to do podcasts rather than sharing the information in written format has roots in my years in corporate.

Consulting.

The Who

I was having an email back and forth with a friend I’ve known since 1995.  His company was acquired by the Tech Company I was working for two months after I started.  We wound up on the same team and though we lived in different regions immediately connected on a level that went beyond tech skills.  When it came to customer service and how you treat people we shared the same values.  

We’ve remained friends in the years since I left tech.  In a recent email he suggested I share my stories with a wider audience.  I told him I’d think about it.

The What

The Universe must have had an interest because beginning shortly after I got a specifically worded message – repeatedly.

Me: “I’m a holistic doctor who specializes in nutritional healing and using exercise and other holistic healing methods.”

Them: “Oh I would love to do more of that but I wouldn’t know where to start.”

What went unsaid but which came out in the course of a brief discussion was they lacked the confidence to bring it up to their health care provider.

After weeks of this I decided to share the information in podcasts using stories to give context.

I discovered it felt natural.

Like my days in tech.

Another former colleague – one I helped with EMF Sensitivity told me I have a knack for explaining complex subjects in a way that makes them easy to understand.  

It certainly seemed so based on the conversations.  

When I looked at it like that the answer was clear.  I was still consulting.  

Only the subject had changed.

I hope you enjoy learning how to integrate holistic health practices into everday living.

Be well.

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.

  • Podcast Episode Three – Caring for Family Holistically
  • Destination Unknown: Explorations of the Paranormal

An App and companion workbook of tools and strategies to deal with Esoteric EM frequencies.

  • Fix EMF App Update

Dealing with the other 3 GATE EM frequencies.

This app provides tools and strategies for dealing with sensitivity to Geologic Atmospheric and Technologic EM frequencies.

Stay tuned and be well.

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.

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.

Be well.

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.
