Here’s to a High Vibration! By Suzanne McPherson

If you are here wondering what is so different about the life of an energy worker, you may find yourself laughing as you read. You may find that NONE of these things, in my day, happen `for’ you. You may find, that you have a lot in common with energy workers. You may also discover that there is absolutely nothing different about energy workers. Whether you are here out of curiosity, or perhaps you channel energy, I hope you will enjoy my blog and will RSS. All jewelry seen on my blog can be purchased from my site at http://www.styleinstone.net

Time for Change is NOW

I have changed my blog to a new address. It is not complete yet, but one thing is for sure, change is constant. I'm sure I will be changing things around on the space from time to time as I figure out how things work in Word Press. So needless to say, you will see some things that will make you say `why would she be having that on her blog?' The answer is simple..I probably just haven't figured out a way to change that yet:)

So hang in there with me. I have been blogging everyday and would love to have you join me on the new site:

http://www.zenergyblog.com

Please take the time to comment once and a while. I love knowing that you were there.

Time for Change

Change is all around us and it is time for a change in what I am doing. I have decided to move my blog to a site that I can use wordpress software on. I am busy setting that up and will be letting you know on this blog where the new location is.

I hope that you will follow me over to my new diggs!

What's Happens When You're Thankful?

Have you ever thought about what happens to YOU when you're thankful? There is a lot of talk about being grateful every day and the importance of writing down exactly what it is. But really, what's in it for you?

When you are thinking about the things that your are grateful for, your mind shifts gears. If you are having a rough day just take a moment to think about how much better it is then it could be. For instance let's say the washing machine breaks down and it will be 2 weeks before the part will be in and the repair can take place. For most of us, that is a huge inconvenience! No one loves to go to the laundromat. But let's say you get your laundry all loaded up and off you go with the attitude of `at least the washer can be repaired for a lot less then I can buy a new one.' Once there, you look around and load up the washers with your laundry and all of a sudden you notice that by being able to do all your laundry at one time, you save hours in your day! Pretty soon your browsing through a magazine on the table and you get into an article that you never would have read had you not been there. Then someone strikes up a conversation with you and the 2 of you have a lot in common, mainly broken washing machines.

All in all, this inconvenience has worked out pretty well, if you stop to think about the day and all that you can be thankful for. The purpose of writing it down is so that you can really think about it or look back on the day. I promise, your spirits will be lifted and you will think differently about the situation.

It's Thanksgiving and while my family has gone off to visit and have a wonderful dinner with other family members, I sit here with a bad cold. I'm grateful for the peace and quiet and lack of commitment for the day.

A Cheap Lesson To Learn

This weekend is being spent at a Christmas show with Style In Stone Jewelry. This type of show is not my regular venue. I decided to step out of my realm of `wellness shows' and see if my jewelry will sell well when shown to people who have come to shop for others for Christmas. People who probably have no thought about metaphysical properties of stones, the electro magnetic field or the healing sound of a Tibetan singing bowl. And by the way, I'll be keeping all that to myself:)

There are more jewelry tables at this show then any other `wares.' What I learn will help me decide what type of shows to put my jewelry in and what shows to avoid. The costs for the tables are high and one can't afford to make too many mistakes. The time is something I can never get back or reuse. Will the experience be worth the risk?

Have you ever been in a similar position? Have you chosen to stay `safe' instead of sticking your neck out? When confronted with a situation like this I ask myself `if this goes bad, can I live with the worst of the (rational) consequences as a result of my decision? If I can answer `yes' to that, I'm in!

What I've learned is that people are enjoying my jewelry, but prefer to buy lesser quality, more trendy pieces. Ladies want to buy many pieces, regardless of materials used to match their outfits, as opposed to wearing natural stones with precious metals.

The good news is that each day a friend that I haven't spent much time with in the past 5 years (only because I have been living elsewhere) came to help me. Wow, great visiting time, good ethnic food, music and bumping into old friends and acquaintances that I have really missed!

So the lesson I have learned really didn't cost me a whole lot and the return was more valuable then my rationalization had in mind.

Oh, the other thing I learned is that I'm back in a rural part of the country and the cliental here does not grasp the concept of a boot bracelet:)

Are You Running Out of Steam?

It's the holidays once again and here you are...tired before black Friday. Does this sound like you? Does this happen every year? Maybe you can think back and try to see what you are doing every year about this time that makes you lose your energy.

What if you aren't physically doing anything challenging to exhaust yourself at this time of the year? What if just `thinking' about the holidays is wearing you down?

With the onset of winter there are fewer hours of daylight and possibly fewer hours of you being out in the sun. That lack of light along with holiday dread is a big sign to the Universe to slow you down. The slight depression and the negative thinking may be all that is standing between you and a merry Christmas.

Take time this season, and throughout the winter to have some energy work done whether that's Reiki, Quantum Touch or another energy modality.

Give yourself the gift of balance.

Life Changes, Go With the Flow

With the passing of the last 5 years, much has changed. Not only have I been living in another state, I have been living another life. This is clear as I am trying to move back home and the things that I carry with me are very different then the things that I left behind. I'm glad for this change as I move things around in my office. Sending my past years of genealogy to the basement for storage and bringing my crystals, singing bowls and beads into my present.

Things seem fresh and new and I will welcome the day that my new life is filed and organized as the old life had been.

Back in Big Sky Country

As we traveled from south to north the landscape changes dramatically. There is no question why Montana is called Big Sky Country. As you enter the state it is as if the sky just opens up. I could see the weather in each of the 4 directions. The rain seemed visible from the clouds in the west. Though the wind blew hard most of the way it forced us to stop for a fresh tank of gas in places we have never exited the interstate to enjoy before. There was no playing tourist, no stopping at the opal mines in Idaho which I have enjoyed in the past. No stopping for the one hour lunch in Dell. Our vehicles were fueled with gasoline, but our bodies were fueled with adrenaline and coffee.

Home at last in the comfort of our kitchen where our friend has brought us a home cooked meal.

Life is good.

The Move

We are planning to move this weekend. With this comes the rush of everything. I am finishing up some classes and find myself gone from home most nights. I am getting special orders for jewelry completed. The best part is having lunches with friends to say my good-byes.

The goodbyes are very different then they used to be. With travel becoming easier, I'm sure it is just a matter of the change of the seasons and I will be coming back to SLC to give Master Reiki classes. Of course I will try to coincide this endeavor with an energy class and an Apple class or 2.

I think of this move as signing off on the radio. I'll be back.

I will enjoy my re-hello's.

What is Your Pet Saying To You?

I am taking a pet psychic class. Last night we did a 45 minute guided meditation and WOW! The teacher was great and frankly I have never done a meditation that long before. I was surprised at how well it went for most of us. Of course, some fell asleep but still heard much of the dialog. I commonly get very fidgety after 10 minutes or so, but the time went very fast for me.

I always recommend guided meditations if you have any problems being `quiet.' One thing the teacher brought up was to choose a guide who stops talking during the meditation. The purpose of this is to have a quiet time to ask your angels or whomever, particular questions and wait for the answers to come.

Recommended meditation time is 4x a week.

Shhhhh.

When the Sun Meets the Frost

I am so fortunate to be able to walk thru a park which has a wetland area, woods and gravel path. Each day, with the coming of colder weather, the frost sticks to the grass and the outer trees along the path. It's like walking into Narnia! The wetlands and grass are filled with the cold frost and as I walk into the wooded area I see places that were not touched by the cool night air. As the sun warms things up shortly after its rise, the fog and steam appear. Most of the leaves are still green on the trees and bushes and the creek continues to provide water for the small critters. Some days the fox is visible going across the path from one side of the park to the other. He crouches low and seems to be in no hurry. His energy is clear. I give him plenty of room.

Another Great Healing Circle

Sunday afternoon there were 5 us at the table channeling healing Reiki energy for each other. Shoulders moved back down below the ears, stomachs began to grumble, `charlie horses' came and went, headaches left and hopefully fears and depression will flee.

It was great to watch immediate changes in our bodies as well as channeling for situations that will take more time to straighten out.

But of course just being together with the intention of healing is a great energy!

Cooler Weather Changes the Energy

With the onset of the cooler temperatures of autumn everything is changing. Along with the new hues in the leaves can come the ache of arthritis, as just one example. When I had `arthritis' I could tell what the weather was before I became fully conscious in the morning, before I looked out the window. As the years passed, the pain became more pronounced and the desire to figure out a way to live with it became my primary health concern and thought.

And then Reiki became a part of my life. After learning this easy way of channeling energy and practicing on others and a little on myself, I woke one autumn morning with no pain. That was 5 years ago and I still live pain free from arthritis. You don't have to believe me, you can have energy work done and discover your own personal results.

Open minds create healing.

A Friend Turns 50

This next week a new friend of mine is turning 50 years old. I spoke to her briefly and she didn't seem to be concerned about her age. When I got home I sent her this email:

Welcome to the crowd of 50+ women! It only gets better from here. Our most difficult years are over, and our most challenging are ahead. What is the difference you might ask?

Because we have survived the most difficult years, the challenging are seen in a different light. We have been working for years to become more experienced and we are now as prepared as we can be for the challenges ahead.

Welcome to what may turn out to be the best years of your life, and join the rest of us as we help you along!

Happy Birthday to all and welcome to our 50's!

A Long Ride

I just finished up a 10 hour journey in the car. Though it was a long drive the weather wasn't too hot and the music was good. A few stops here and there. An occasional cup of coffee and maybe a candy bar or two.

The difficult part of the trip is I am describing the return. Five days ago I was headed the opposite direction to participate in a "wellness fair." I had the opportunity to have a table at the fair in hopes of sharing my Style In Stone jewelry along with Tone of God cd. I brought along a small collection of Tibetan singing bowls and of course a sign up sheet for Reiki classes being offered next month. There was a good turnout of those interested in the metaphysical properties of stones. Lots of great conversation, inspiration, healing and a challenge raising the vibration in a big place with a lot of people.

In the end I got to see some friends that I had not talked to in years. My sister-in-law spent the whole weekend helping me and it was a treat to spend time with her. Style In Stone's fall collection is nearly sold out and I will have to purchase more wire to create new pieces for the Christmas show coming up.

Nothing like a nice few days to keep the energy going until I got home again. But now that I'm back..well, I think I'll go to bed a little early.

What I Know Most About Life

Seems to me there is a book called `What I Know Most About Life, I Learned From My Dog.' Yes? No? Maybe it was just a t-shirt? Well, regardless we learn a lot from our animals. Just observing them without any contact is an amazing experience for both you and your pet. Your pet is relaxing just knowing you are nearby. You get to see how `in the moment' they live. Compare that to the way you live.

When your pet has an `encounter,' they seem to deal with it immediately and within a minute or so they have moved on to other things. What do you do when you have an `encounter?' Do you talk to yourself for days about it? Bring it up within a circle of friends? Remember it forever?

Observe your pet around other people or animals. Do they avoid certain ones? Do they seem to `latch' on to others? And how about you?

A lot of wisdom comes from these `simple minded' creatures we often refer to with such talk as `I have a rescue dog.' My reply when I hear that is `so do I, he rescued me just in the nick of time.'

What About Labor Day?

Labor Day is a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women. According to the internet, Labor Day was created because of strife that was going on between the laborers and the unions.

Does that sound like energy to you? Of course. Energy is around us and in us. Energy cannot be destroyed. So what happens with negative energy? As an example of how this works, let me suggest that I have envisioned an energy cord that runs a foot above my head, through my crown chakra, down through the center of my body, to a foot below my feet into the ground. Now on my grounding cord I have roots that go deep into the earth. When I am around negative energy I set up my grounding cord and run it all the way through my body and have it come out of the roots. The energy is neutralized there and then continues on as simply energy. By creating a day to celebrate the workers of America the negative energy was being `diffused,' or run down the cord into the ground to be neutralized.

It's important to deal with negative energy. Sometimes that means, as an example, confronting someone who is spreading a rumour. No matter how you look at it, negative energy can cause problems. You can't get rid of it, per se', but you can neutralize it. If you are a part of the workforce, and who isn't, we celebrate you!

How Are You Handling Life's Major Changes?

There was once a time when no matter what changed in my life, that I perceived as negative, it just threw me for a loop. I over thought it, I talked about it, I challenged it.

Having Reiki and other energies in my life has alleviated so much of that, which we now call, drama. It has been such a noticeable change. Others have seen it in me too. It is so interesting to watch myself react less to this ever changing life of mine. Now this isn't always the case, but the bigger the `real' problem, the better I seem to do. When the changes are small, they seem to aggravate me more...it is a sort of pettiness that creeps into my minds chatter. When I realize what is going on I have a little talk with myself telling how this problem is so small in the whole scheme of things, then my mind seems to give it up.

Perhaps some of the reason that this works for me is that I have recently endured a trauma that has allowed me to put things into proper perspective. I was grateful for the overall calmness in my being during that time and the way I have learned to have faith that things will improve as time marches on.

Peace. You gotta love it.

August Has Been a Tough Month, Astrologists Tell Me.

The crazy energy of August will soon be over. Part of getting through this month has been from a newsletter filled with astrology information. The other part of getting through this month is to learn from the lessons of the month.

For me I had a huge change in many things but the most profound was my scheduling Reiki classes. I have given very few one on one classes during the past 3 years. The class takes a full day and I commonly have 3-6 people at each class...except for this month. Bazaar things were coming up for people which threw my classes of 3 into classes of 1. I blew the first class off as `just one of those things', but after my 4th one on one class, I could no longer deny that this was beyond my control and I was glad that I just rolled with it. The lesson that I learned is that no matter how hard I try to over organize, other people's lives just didn't want to fall into my baskets. I am learning the fine art of patience...again. I have one more class to give this month and I'm going to make it the best class ever!

The Universe has something to tell you. You can choose not to pay attention, or you can just go with it. There is a lesson in it for you. Pay attention.

Another High Energy Nite

Last night I had an open house for Style In Stone jewelry and my annual margarita party. It worked great blending the two into one great night. Thanks to my friends for the suggestion! The gals that came were excited to see the new Fall Collection and I loved talking about the stones and looking up their metaphysical properties. Conversation changes quickly when the stones are brought up. Even those that never thought about the healing properties listened intensely. Before long they were busy looking in the crystal book.

Energy was the conversation in most of the small circles of people, and then the phone rang! It was Mary Redford here in SLC. She was letting me know that she was scheduling her psychic pet class for Sept. 19th! There were 3 of us at the party ready to sign up for the 3 hour event! If you're interested in attending, send her an email through her website at http://www.thehypnochic.com/ The more the merrier! Let's learn to talk to our pets and listen to what they have to say to us, after all `they're family.'
