"I
go to nature to be soothed and healed, Recently I was asked how I sense subtle energy. I've been immersed in vibrational healing for so long that I sometimes forget what a foreign subject it is for many individuals. We all have the ability to see, hear, and feel the subtle vibrations emanating from the energy that exists all around and through us. I call these the subtle skills. Since humans only use about 10% of their brain, most people have lost the ability to access the part of the brain that makes that possible. Telepathy and ESP are natural abilities. They just need to be developed. We are born with these skills. A small child will tell their parent that there is someone standing in their room. Since the parent can't see the "being," they tell the child that there is no-one there. Some parents make fun of the child and say the "boogie man" is going to get them. Other parents accuse the child of lying and punish them. Either scenario makes the child question what they saw — because parents know everything. Eventually the self-doubt causes them to completely shut down the subtle sensing abilities. Often by the time a child reaches the first grade they have already completely turned off these skills. A few people are able to maintain the skills throughout their life. They often are ridiculed as being weird and quickly learn to keep quiet about what they sense. They themselves often wonder if they are actually insane — hearing voices or seeing things that others don't. As a person wakes up from their illusions and begins pursuing spirituality, they begin accessing the subtle skills once more. I personally feel things. People with that ability are referred to as clairsentient. I can hold a crystal and feel a pulse, a vibration, a warmth, or a coolness. I've always loved feeling things. I will walk through a clothing store and touch the various fabrics. I love the softness of a dog or cat's fur. I love the feeling I get when I step into warm water — in the bath or the tropics. I love how a storm feels — the power, the wind, the intensity of energy. I can feel the anger, tension, or love in a room, or in a person. I only hear and see subtle energy on occasion. I have found that experiencing a Shamanic journey or guided meditation allows me to access those subtle skills. Some people hear voices or sounds. People with that ability are referred to as clairaudient. Many people have experienced hearing a ringing or high-pitched tone in one ear for a short period of time. At first they may think that it is a hearing problem or some mechanical device nearby. Its actually high frequency tones that they are briefly able to sense. Several people are blessed with hearing the angelic choirs singing. Everything is energy. Energy is vibration. Everything that exists is giving off a vibration. All vibration creates sound — usually too subtle to hear. Some people can tap into that. The angels, the dolphins, the Ascended Masters, are all present right here right now. They just exist in dimensions that vibrate faster than ours. The average person can't sense them because it requires being at a higher vibration in order to tap into those dimensions. Also the beta brainwaves have to be slowed down. Another way to put that is the conversation that is constantly going on inside one's head must be quieted. Meditation or spending time in nature is the perfect way to accomplish that. Everyone has one or more Guides that work with them that communicates continuously with their Soul. Some people actually see these beings. People with that ability are referred to as clairvoyant. What they see may be crystal clear, as real as you and me, or it might be a very bright light, or ghostlike, or shadowy. I'm sure there are as many ways to see them as there are people. People with clairvoyance are always commenting about the dolphins they see around me. I've heard many times that there is a 6-foot dolphin just behind me and to the left. I'll just have to take their word for it because I haven't seen it myself. A word of caution about what you sense yourself and what you are told by others: Whatever a person hears, sees, or feels is tainted by their own illusions about life — the beliefs, fears, and judgments they hold that are not the Divine Truth. A person may hear words — from a very high vibrational being such as an Ascended Master. But, what the voice says and what the person hears can be very different. Never blindly believe what a person tells you they were "told." Check it out in your own heart and see if it feels like truth. If a person is caught up in their own anger, fear, disease, belief about a particular issue, karma or something else, what they tell you isn't always 100% accurate. So always use discernment. This is true of books, seminars, well-meaning friends — everyone. All humans have limitations. Channeling can be fascinating, but the messages are only as clear as the channel. And even a typically clear channel can have an off day. Spend time alone in nature or meditating as often as possible and your subtle skills will begin to naturally unfold. As John Burroughs said, your senses will be put "in tune" once more. ©

Across from the Pyramid of Kukulkán, stands the Great Ball
Court of Chichén Itzá. The size of a modern football
field, it’s the largest arena of its kind in Mexico. The Maya’s
game involved two teams, each able to hit the ball only with elbows,
wrists or hips. Projecting from each wall, 25 ft above the ground,
are sculptured stone rings in the form of two entwined serpents.
The object was to knock a hard rubber ball through these hoops.
This sacred game was one of their most important forms of ritual
activity. Upon entering Juego de Pelota, visitors are struck
by the acoustics of the stadium and its surrounding temples. These
acoustics remain an architectural mystery. Low whispers at one end
of the court can be clearly heard at the other end, over 500 feet
away. Links That Shine

Let's face it — English is a crazy language ... We'll
begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; One
fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, You
may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; If
the plural of man is always called men, If
one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Then
one may be that, and three would be those, We
speak of a brother and also of brethren, Then
the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language when it says ...
The bandage was wound around the wound. If we explore the paradoxes of the English language, we find ... There
is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; If
you have a rough cough, climbing can be tough Quicksand
can work slowly, boxing rings are square and Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If
you have a bunch of odds and ends and How
can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, And
finally — if Dad is Pop, how come Mom isn't Mop?

Joyful Lifestyles: Weekly Insights Do you pop aspirin almost every day to deal with your sore neck, back, or head? Do you work such long hours that you sometimes forget your children’s names? Watch out! You might be headed for a burnout, and once you’ve let yourself go that far, you may never be the same again. Burnout can cause long-term chemical changes in your body that remain even after you feel better, according to new research. These changes make you more vulnerable to stress, and to catching diseases like colds and flu. Shirra Moch is a lecturer in the Department of Pharmacology and Health Sciences at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. She specializes in research on stress. As reported by MSN Web MD, Moch and her colleagues conducted a study on people who suffered a stress burnout so severe that they were hospitalized. Normally, when peoples’ bodies are stressed by an illness, or their minds are stressed by a trauma, or even an argument with a spouse, the body starts to pump out a hormone called cortisol. This hormone actually helps the body fight off disease. Many overstressed people have too much cortisol, but the people Shira Moch studied actually had low cortisol levels. Moch’s patients were given intensive stress management therapy while they were in the hospital, which included medicine as well as courses in Meditation, Breathing, Exercise and Nutrition. They also saw a social worker who taught them how to handle stressful situations and a psychiatrist who gave them “talking therapy” for stress release. The intense stress management worked — to a point. The people with burnout did start to feel better and were able to go back to work and live normal lives. However, their cortisol levels have remained low, even five months later. This means they remain more susceptible to diseases like colds and flu and are more likely to have another burnout if they don’t stick to the stress management changes they were taught. Shira Moch presented these findings at the annual meeting of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology. “When they feel well, they start to backslide right away on the stress management program,” says Moch. “It’s only when they start to feel sick again that they think, ‘oh yes, I have to do all this stuff again!’ We’re trying to educate them that this is lifestyle change.” Given the devastating effects severe stress burnout can have on the body, Moch recommends a “Three R” approach — Recognize, Reverse, and Resilience:
