Well, Now...

Time has flown by and I realized that I promised to keep you posted on the different programs I'm trying, so here's my report:

I tried the Healing Codes for a while, then worked with Dr. Alex Lloyd's Master Key program, and I tried to keep up the regular meditations for as long as my attention deficiency would let me.  Even though I couldn't keep the practice up for the whole 40 days, I found the Master Key meditations relaxing.  I'd sit and watch the videos, repeat the special words out loud or in my head, and listen to the love tone for twenty minutes.  Sometimes I'd plug my ears into my MP3 player and spend 20 minutes before bed relaxing into the mantra, mixing it with the hand gestures for the Healing Codes every once in a while to break things up.

I could feel energy moving around my head, and could tell the whole system was worth the price, but I was side-tracked by a new puppy, crystal meditation bowls and Eva Gregory.  Sorry to say, I didn't continue the Master Key program, though I keep the videos and audios on stand-by until I'm ready to try again.  I never was good with anything that took regular practice for any amount of time.  Sometimes things take too much time to work, and I move on and forget about them. 

I have to say the same thing happened with the brain entrainment audios.  Even though I kept up with them for almost a year, I eventually lost focus and moved onto bigger things.  I feel smarter, though!

I finished my month with Eva Gregory and even though I didn't enroll in her year-long course I did join her Cosmic Couch community.  For a monthly fee you join her club of spiritual growth students and have access to monthly teleseminars, posted audio meditations and videos, and community blogs.  She's trying very hard to create a special social media club to share music, join forums, and connect with like-minded peers.  I thought I'd give it a try,  though I'm having a bit of trouble finding the need for sharing.  I may not last long with this club.

During my You-Tube perusal I discovered 12soundsolutions.com's channel.  Doug Parvin, a certified hypnotherapist and sound therapist, uploaded a series of 7 videos that featured Tibetan crystal bowl meditations.  Each video was nothing more than a bowl filled with colored light played to tones that correspond with individual chakras, something that I've been interested in for years.  The pure tone and length of the videos worked well with my chakras.  I was so impressed I visited his website and bought a DVD version of the bowl tones that Doug combined with some pretty interesting color effects, enhancing the experience of the tones and clear your chakras.  I find myself flying high after each bowl of light.  I love it.

Here's a sample of the bowl toning for the root chakra.  Try the others on You Tube HERE.



You can visit 12soundsolutions.com to see what Doug Parvin has to offer.  He even offers a DVD of a stream in the woods for you to play to relax to when you need a touch of nature but don't want to leave home.

As for the puppy, well, I couldn't resist her.

A couple of months ago my dog Jolene had a health scare that did not end well.  Out of the blue she developed a tear in her lung that resulted in air leaking into her chest cavity.  This caused her lungs to compress and she had no way of getting a good breath.  Instead of opting for an operation that would result in breaking her open to repair or take out her lung without the guarantee that she'd survive the trauma, I decided to let her go.  She fell asleep in my lap, one of her favorite things to do,  and never woke up.  I still don't know for sure why it happened, but concluded it was an injury from her life before me that waited until she was happy and secure to finally take it's toll.  I wonder if she planned it that way.


It took me some time, but I finally decided to look for a new dog, and chose to adopt a rescue puppy.  It's been a while since I raised a dog from puppyhood, and I wanted to make sure I picked the right one, so I took my time.  Last week I brought Roxie home with me from a dog adoption event; one look at her little body, beautiful brown eyes and big doe ears and I decided I was ready.  She's smart as a whip, cute, and feisty; a chihuahua/dachshund mix who thinks she's a mountain goat.  She's discovered she can jump over tall baby gates, perch on top of the furniture, and chew through anything in her way.  I thought I was playing it safe by bringing home a small dog, but she's proving me wrong. 

She's killing me, but she has the makings of a great dog companion. 

Last month I tried a session with an Access Code practitioner, and decided to take a class to learn how to do it myself.  The next blog will be an exploration of the Access Codes, another health/emotional/energy healing mode I discovered recently.  The more I learn about it, the more interesting it gets.

Till then, happy toning!
