Created Self responds to message about breakthrough LE event

Most transformational work is designed for and is incredibly effective for people who find their truth with their intellect. My work is designed for 'feeling-centered' beings. My clients are more effective when they 'trust their guts' or 'listen to their intuition.' Learn to trust your truth and live your dreams.

Breaking news:  I am not a coach, I am not a trauma resolution specialist.  I am an Intuitive Healer. 
Magi Speelpenning, Intuitive Healer:  cue theme song....

As I step into being Intuitive Healer, my world how view is different from the world view of others.  What is new is being responsible; that is to say conscious about it.  There are moments; each moment connecting on-goingly to the next, each precious and unique unto itself.  'MIND' --as is its design--files each of these moments into other files of similar data.  'MIND'   is not designed to allow each new moment to occur fresh, without prior interpretation.  This serves us for things like driving, walking, navigating our computers etc.  The world view of 'MIND'  is I know this, I know this, I know this.  Nothing is new, including our responses to incoming moments. 

Landmark Education is the world view of 'be your word', a gorgeous world view which lets us bring integrity and workability to all of our interactions with other beings--whether they are being their word or not.  ' Be your word' is a powerful way to interact powerfully and effectively with the mechanations of 'MIND.'   In my experience, Landmark serves the intellectually structured community beautifully--those people who source 'be your word'  from 'word'.  Declare (word) something then configure yourself to align with those words.  Ongoingly true your being to those words.  It is a brilliant strategy that works. 

And, for feeling-centered beings, such as myself, 'be your word' is sourced in 'be'.  I check in energetically, recognize my truth, my center, then and only then do I speak the truth of it.  My words align with my being--they are there to verbally express the truth of the moment.  Moments that are sourced in my heart feel connected and open. The moments that feel creepy, uncomfortable,or like trying to fit a round peg into a square hole are always when 'MIND'  is trying to be my source.  Said differently, for feeling-centered beings, heart is being, mind is word.  And--this is the truly juicy discovery--for intellectual types, you experience yourselves as connected and open when you live from the truth of your word.  Both ways of engaging powerfully with the mechanics of 'MIND' are valid.  Both are ways of engaging with the moments coming at you. 

I am in wonder, with great joy to know that transformation  and making the world a kinder, richer and sweeter place to live is available for both intellectual and feeling centered beings. 

And now, what there is to say about the beautiful evening below is 'MIND'  turns distinctions into things, formulas that get filed.  'MIND' files: enroll and register from 'it works, go try it' will become the way to get people to participate in Landmark, rather than something created heart to heart--being to being--in the moment.

Lightness at the end of the tunnel

in response to:  a Landmark event---
  1. a few seminar leaders shared about what this work gave them access to - what they got from the Forum 
  2. they had to do it without the shares and stories, just distinguish what "it" was that they got - not easy
  3. When it was clear that "it" is a kind of freedom from the tyranny of believing your point of view is reality he moved to the next point
  4. about 70,000 people a year do the forum.  That's how many are born in a day on the planet
  5. the way the planet is going our work is needed - really needed.  What would it be like if all of us could distinguish ongoingly that we operate inside of interpretations?
  6. He thought that we had all gone (himself included) "numb" about the difference this work has made and is making in our lives
  7. our problem with enrolling and registering others is not that it's hard, it's that there's a failure in our past (in the area of enrolling/registering) that we're not complete with - one seminar leader shared how her sister in law will not do Landmark and how this has stopped her
  8. he told us that over 400 or 800 corporations have done Landmark - it's on Apple's approved list of courses for staff development, and how CEOs are speaking in favor of it, and how a very senior prof emeritus at the B School at Harvard is working to brink Landmark into univ curricula
  9. He also announced some big exciting changes coming up that will make it easier for us to enroll-register
  10. he talked a lot and we laughed a lot about how we/Landmark has been using highly technical language in a world where that is neither wanted nor understood.  We've all tried to play junior forum leader or explain the distinctions, when all we need to say, "it works, go try it!"
  11. We all left back in the presence of what it was alla bout in the first place

Your Mother Should Know

When our children are little, they come to us with a cut finger or a scraped knee and say, "it hurts, kiss it and make it better!"  And we do.  And it does, tears are replaced with giggles and our babies run off to resume playing.  And in those moments we are invincible.  We are the mother.  We can fix everything. 

Until the day comes when something happens and we can't fix it.  And we are devastated, because the magic of our kisses has always worked before. Really, we are blindsided by this phenomenon. 

I became aware of these distinctions as I sat in the waiting room of the hospital with the staff member from the Sukyo Mahikari center, where my friend and I are both practitioners in the Art of True Light. http://www.sukyomahikari.org/  Earlier that afternoon, I helped my friend bring her daughter for what would be her final stay.  We had left her husband to fill out paperwork, and we had driven back home so my friend could gather clothing and toiletries for a few days.  The hospital was great about setting things up so my friend could be in the room with her daughter 24-7. 

When we returned, the first sight that greeted us was the concerned face of our staff member.  Within seconds, before we could even greet him, a nurse came out, and confronted my friend saying, "if she dies do you want us to resuscitate her?"  My friend deflected saying that she needed to talk with her husband and would let her know.  Then she went off to look for him, leaving me with the staff member; both of us feeling a bit useless and helpless.

Knowing that this overwhelming helplessness would not serve my friend, I began to figure out  why I was feeling what I was feeling.  I did this out loud as the staff member, who was a dear friend, aware of my process, sat listening.  I spoke aloud what I wrote at the beginning of this post.  Just the process of seeing how we set ourselves up as mothers gave me some grounding and assurance, and I knew what I could say that would truly serve my friend.  She came out a few minutes later, looking very 'deer in the headlights.' 

In order to get her full focus and attention, I called her name somewhat sternly.  Immediately she looked into my eyes.  I said, "It is a year from now.  Your daughter has been dead for several months.  What is the decision you made today that is the easiest for you to live with?"   In that moment her eyes became clear and her face became peaceful.  She declared, with strength in her voice, "My daughter already told me that if she goes that she does not want to be revived or put onto any kind of machinery.   That is what she wants so that is my answer." 

Our staff member then spoke up and shared the devastating impact of the doctors driving the gigantic needle of drugs straight into his mother's heart--think of the needle scene with Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.   I was truly moved by the intimacy and vulnerability of our staff member, as the members from Japan tend to be very, very private about their personal lives.  I had the intuitive sense that he was providing an anchor for my friend so she would truly know in her heart of hearts that she was making the best choice for her daughter.

My friend left to find her husband again and to sign the 'do not revive' papers.  Her daughter passed quietly and peacefully three days later.  Her life was a gift and a blessing and she is missed here on the physical plain.

There are many structures and beliefs about being a mother which do not serve us.  They cause us guilt, or frustration, or a number of other feelings &/or behavior which derail us and leave us in a state of helplessness or hopelessness.  I am filled with such joy that I was allowed to learn and fine tune the processes that allow us to overcome the ravages of buying into all of that 'perfect mother' crap.  When you are ready to say, "Enough is enough!", I will be happy to work with you.  Freedom and ease await.


I used the terms 'my friend' and 'her daughter' in the post as a respect for their privacy and my inability to come up with fake names; it's just my way.

Who Are We?

I have been exploring the word 'consumer' as in 'we are a consumer culture' and as I looked this holiday season, I saw the festive red and green decorative call to spend, spend, spend. The red and green call comes earlier every year, and now even Black Friday has moved to weeks before Thanksgiving.  WTF?  When I picture 'consumers' what I picture collectively is a flock of locusts tearing through every environment they pass, leaving destruction and desolation in their path.  Individually, I picture massive amounts of stuff, stuff, stuff being fed into our systems and putrid piles of garbage being left in our wakes.  My new Samsung 4-G phone leaves behind the useless carcass of my LG Rumor--luckily, I was able to bequeath this carcass to my ever-lovin husband. So actually, my 4-G left behind the useless and non-disposable carcass of his RAZAR. 

I tuned into the Pachamama Alliance Luncheon live stream earlier this year.  I've tuned into TEDTalks and listened to how we are eradicating whole cultures and peoples with our insatiable need for more.   Will we ever come from replenishing as our core being rather than consuming?   What could our world look like if we buy all of our gifts on Craig's List or in second hand stores?  What could we create if we donated last year's computer to a school or last years cell phone to a women's shelter?  What if we learn  recognize the inherent value of all our possessions and see who could claim and enjoy that value when we are ready to let go? 

I am reminded of Edward G Robinson's character, 'Rocky' in the classic movie, Key Largo.  What he wants is: more; yeah, that's it, more;  there will never be enough, at least there never has been.   I wonder what happened to him that he is never satisfied.  In my 'who would I like to work with fantasy', he comes up as an ideal client.  We would get to the underlying beliefs that caused him to be so insatiable, and debug those patterns, release those barriers and leave 'Robinson's Rocky' with peace and freedom within  the core of his being.  A whole new life would open up where his actions are dictated from this peace within, maybe he would even apologize to Gay Dawn (you'll have to see the movie-HA!)  and buy her that drink.
