			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should. Shouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Supposed to. NOT supposed to.</p>
<p>The &#8220;right&#8221; thing. The &#8220;wrong&#8221; thing.</p>
<p>Good. Bad.</p>
<p>(sigh)</p>
<p>Depending upon whom you ask, the acts that constitute these concepts will vary greatly.</p>
<p>As a child, new again to the human plane, dependent upon the care of others, you begin your journey into a world of &#8220;Should &amp; Shouldn&#8217;t&#8221;. Rules of behavior designed by others with the concept that following these rules will keep you safe. Help you fit in. Keep you obedient and out of trouble. Keep you from creating conflict.</p>
<p>Right from the beginning though, they keep you from THINKING and CHOOSING. Eventually, they keep you from being YOU.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong. It&#8217;s not some giant conspiracy theory. Mostly, it&#8217;s an oversight, perpetuated through the sheer ease of maintaining status quo and a serious lack of education about SELF. It&#8217;s allowed to continue because those that taught it to you were once taught this themselves. They weren&#8217;t taught to think outside of these rules either&#8230;so how could they possibly teach something different to you? You parents, teachers, religious leaders, friends and society at large&#8230;they actually believe that they are helping you to become a better human being. They love you. They care about your well being. They want you to succeed.</p>
<p>Yet for all this &#8220;help&#8221;, we become suppressed into a narrow list of ever changing boundaries of what we CAN and CANNOT do in order to be that &#8220;better&#8221; human being.</p>
<p>The problem lies in the definitions.</p>
<p>These definitions make themselves apparent when you here words like &#8220;should&#8221;, &#8220;shouldn&#8217;t&#8221;, &#8220;good&#8221;, &#8220;bad&#8221;, &#8220;right&#8221; and &#8220;wrong&#8221;. (and many others)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;SHOULD&#8221; is a concept that produces guilt and/or obligatory behavior. Nothing else. </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been listening to, and conversing with, The Other Side for 43 human years. To date, I&#8217;ve not ever heard them use this word or concept except to correct it when others say it&#8230;..and they correct it EVERY time. I don&#8217;t always make the audible correction to the person I&#8217;m talking too. Sometimes I choose to just work around it. Sometimes I choose to ignore it. Sometimes I&#8217;m just too darn tired of playing word correcter.  But they ALWAYS correct it. They correct it because it is simply not true. They correct it because it is a form of control that is completely opposed to the Free Will that is part of our inherent being. It is an excellent vehicle for learning the lessons of Free Will and Choice. It persists because we as Souls having human experiences are not yet done learning all that there is to learn about our own greatness. We use &#8220;Should&#8221; and it&#8217;s vocabulary &#8220;friends&#8221; to help set-up the circumstances we need to overcome. If &#8220;should&#8221; is a jail cell, then &#8220;choice&#8221; is the key&#8230;.and <strong>YOU are the ONLY Judge and Jury that incarcerates or exonerates yourself. </strong>JUST YOU.</p>
<p>Sure, there are hecklers in the courtroom. You know the kind. People whose disappointing looks and body language let you know they disapprove of your choices and actions. People who tell you &#8220;Wellllll, that&#8217;s not what I would have done&#8221; in the sugary voice of passive aggressive entrapment. That voice of caring mixed with judgment. It sounds that way because that&#8217;s EXACTLY what it is: Caring and Judgment. Hecklers who turn their back on you in order to punish you into doing what they think is right. People who cannot see past their own rules and therefore cannot possibly IMAGINE what free will actually feels like. If they can&#8217;t imagine it&#8230;if they can&#8217;t have it&#8230;neither SHOULD YOU.  Hecklers are in jail themselves. Maybe you&#8217;ve been one yourself&#8230;back before you were free. Hecklers are still under the illusion that SOMEONE ELSE holds their key to freedom, happiness and inner peace.</p>
<p>Sometimes we free ourselves from one jail, and yet still find ourselves being the heckler in someone else&#8217;s courtroom on some other subject. The cycle of learning and expanding continues endlessly. The Universe is always expanding. YOU are part of that Universe and therefore will also be in a constant state of expansion. There is no such thing as &#8220;done&#8221;. There is and always will be something to experience and learn. As the Universe expands, you continue to have new areas to expand into. &#8220;Done&#8221; doesn&#8217;t exists. To be &#8220;done&#8221; would imply that there is a finite end to everything&#8230;.completely contrary to the physics of the Universe&#8230;but that&#8217;s another discussion&#8230;</p>
<p>So&#8230;.are you free? Are you in jail? Probably both&#8230;.just like everyone else. If you judge yourself, if you judge others&#8230;if you judge your decisions as &#8220;better&#8221; or &#8220;worse&#8221; than others, or maybe you judge theirs as better or worse than yours&#8230;then you&#8217;re in jail somewhere. If you adhere to the idea that your religion is the RIGHT one, and others are wrong or misled, you&#8217;ve lost your key somewhere. If you think everyone should dress a certain way, behave a certain way, use certain language, follow certain rules&#8230;you&#8217;re trapped&#8230;for now. If you use this article to judge yourself&#8230;you&#8217;re just dangling your own key barely out of reach.</p>
<p>This brings me to the concept of observation vs. judgment. Sometimes this is tricky for me to language so just bare with me&#8230;we all have various definitions for things&#8230;here is mine.</p>
<p>An observation is just that. It what YOU perceive as a fact. (<em>perceive </em>being the subjective word here). Observations are void of emotion. They are neither good or bad. They simply ARE. How do we SEE something in THAT moment. Observations are best served in PRESENT tense. You cannot observe you future for you have not created that yet. It doesn&#8217;t exist. You can sometimes observe your past&#8230;though our past if often so clouded with emotions and &#8220;should mentality&#8221; that it is difficult to stay objective&#8230;difficult to stay out of our own way. Just try observing your PRESENT thoughts and actions. Listen to your thoughts. FEEL those thoughts. Pay attention here&#8230;this is where we tell ourselves that we are &#8220;observing&#8221; when we can actually be sliding over into judgment.</p>
<p>Judgment comes when we take an observation and start FEELING that what we observe is &#8220;good&#8221; or &#8220;bad&#8221;. We watch our behavior and think to ourselves things like&#8230;&#8221;Oh, I shouldn&#8217;t have done that&#8221;, &#8220;Gosh <em>that</em> was stupid!&#8221;, &#8220;I&#8217;m better than that!&#8221;, &#8220;I&#8217;m nicer than you.&#8221;&#8230;and so forth. If there&#8217;s an emotion&#8230;you&#8217;re likely judging. If you view the world, or people&#8217;s actions..in the perspective of a hierarchy of worst &#8211; worse &#8211; bad &#8211; good &#8211; better &#8211; best&#8221;&#8230;you&#8217;re judging. Nothing says judgment is bad. Or good. YOU get to choose that. You may feel fine with your judgments. OK. You may feel horrible about them. OK.</p>
<p>The point, is knowing the difference. The POINT, is remembering that YOU can change whatever you choose if you JUDGE that you don&#8217;t LIKE or WANT what you&#8217;re doing or what you have created. YOU. YOU. YOU. No one else can change you. They do not hold your keys. Sometimes though, we can watch how someone else locked themselves up, or freed themselves&#8230;and gain possible options for finding our OWN keys&#8230;but those are merely options. NOT RULES. When one person does something that works for them, they tend to automatically apply that method as &#8220;the thing&#8221; that others SHOULD do. Most of the time, they want to help&#8230;really they do. They just forget that every cell has it&#8217;s OWN unique key. There is no such thing as identical paths, identical situations, identical lives. Identical Solutions.  No. Such. Thing.</p>
<p>Period.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s say that you observe yourself&#8230;.and you judge yourself&#8230;.and YOU decide that you don&#8217;t really like what you&#8217;re feeling. Observation is the beginning of awareness. Now you have a WANT for change&#8230;.what do you need? Options. Choices. Pathways.  You might start looking at other people&#8217;s actions and choices. You might read their written words in books, blogs, and facebook statuses. You&#8217;re searching. You&#8217;re observing the options and choices. As you do this&#8230;there is a tendency to JUDGE yet again. &#8220;These options are bad ones and others are good ones&#8221;. NO. No. no.    They are just choices. Some of them you might like. Some of them you might not like. But just because you don&#8217;t like that choice doesn&#8217;t change the FACT that it&#8217;s a choice&#8230;.and you COULD take it. Remember to count ALL your choices. Write them ALL down.</p>
<p>Now you have all of these choices&#8230;and the list will keep growing as long as you keep observing&#8230;.so now what? You start CHOOSING. Seriously. It&#8217;s that simple. It&#8217;s a matter of getting the concepts of choices into REAL TANGIBLE ACTIONS. If you sit with all these choices floating around in your head, in your heart, in your field&#8230;and no choices are made&#8230;then limbo occurs. That place we&#8217;ve all found ourselves in at one point or another where  we just sit down&#8230;afraid to stay the same&#8230;and too afraid to change. Limbo is a stillness wrapped up in blanket of fear. Fear of the inner heckler. Fear of the OTHER hecklers. Heckling hurts. We wanted JOY. We wanted HAPPINESS. We want to make this change for FREEDOM&#8230;.yet so often making changes brings the pain of feeling judged by others&#8230;.and the SHOULD rules have a tendency to self-perpetuate themselves. Like depression, they are self fulfilling and self feeding. That&#8217;s the nature of the rules. Follow the rules or you will be bad. Limbo is where we feel powerless, caught between two evils..two perceived evils. Stuck between what we HAD been doing&#8230;.and what MIGHT make it better&#8230;but it&#8217;s uncertain. We don&#8217;t KNOW that it will be better&#8230;but we know the heckling hurts&#8230;.we know that for sure&#8230;.so we sit down. We wait. We try to find some way to make the fear go away so that we can get up and go on our merry way of choice. Waiting and waiting and waiting&#8230;..because we know..that as soon as that fear of gone&#8230;when the hecklers go home&#8230;we can begin. This is what we do.</p>
<p>Waiting rarely, if ever, works. Even when it does, the stress created during the wait usually exceeds the stress created by just getting up and walking through the hecklers in the first place. Survival wiring wants to keep us from pain&#8230;keep us from harm&#8230;it is what tells us that we SHOULD wait&#8230;.it&#8217;s safer&#8230;.isn&#8217;t it? Only you can decide what to do, if anything. Only you can decide when. YOU choose how long you hang out in limbo. No one is making you do that.  The thing to keep in mind here, is that fear tends to be present until you&#8217;ve walked through it. It doesn&#8217;t usually go home until you&#8217;ve moved on. Think of those hecklers like the paparazzi&#8230;relentless in the pursuit of that single snapshot of you. SO&#8230;when you&#8217;ve decided that you&#8217;re tired of sitting&#8230;get up. MOVE. Walk though the hecklers in whatever way works for you as long as you stay true to your intended change. Sometimes we navigate a crowd by weaving, sometimes we plow through, sometimes we duck and run&#8230;.whatever you do, however you do it&#8230;.you just have to move DESPITE the fear. Those hecklers&#8230;the paparazzi&#8230;.they might take their shot&#8230;.but they&#8217;re staying in their cell&#8230;and you&#8217;re moving out into your world. Keep moving. Eventually you&#8217;ll walk out of ear shot. Better still&#8230;.maybe you&#8217;ve just given them the option they needed to find their own key. Maybe all the choices they&#8217;ve had weren&#8217;t the one for them&#8230;.but you just opened up a path to freedom for yourself&#8230;and maybe for someone else&#8230;.but you do it for YOU.</p>
<p>YOUR OBSERVATIONS.</p>
<p>YOUR JUDGMENT.</p>
<p>YOUR CHOICE.</p>
<p>YOUR TIME FRAME.</p>
<p>YOUR ACTION.</p>
<p>YOUR WAY.</p>
<p>YOUR PEACE, JOY, HAPPINESS AND FREEDOM.</p>
<p>This was not what you SHOULD do. This is what you CHOOSE to do. This is what you WANTED. Change. An opportunity to have something different from what you&#8217;ve been experiencing. An opportunity to FEEL differently about yourself and your life. Freedom. Living&#8230;not just existing.</p>
<p>But what happens when what you choose&#8230;that choice you made after so much time sitting in limbo telling yourself you were choosing <em>carefully</em>&#8230;.what if it doesn&#8217;t get you what you want???</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what the list is for. All those observations you&#8217;ve been making&#8230;adding choices to the list&#8230;.you do it again. You change your mind, change your actions&#8230;.and just do it again. You expand. You learn. You strengthen. You relish the <em>freedom</em> to CHANGE YOUR MIND OVER AND OVER AND OVER&#8230;until you have found ALL of the keys that open up door after door in the labyrinth of SHOULD.</p>
<p>Until you&#8217;re FREE.</p>
<p>Until you are YOU.</p>
<p>Until you are LOVE.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Latest Blogs Posts Update</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Shop for “Pick My Brain” CD’s</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> ____________________________________________________________</p>
<h4 align="center"><strong><em>Empathic’s &amp; Sensitive’s Class – Level 1</em></strong></h4>
<p align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong><strong>Coming to</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong><strong style="font-size: 1em;"><em>Berkeley, California</em></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p align="center"><em>I’m SO excited to be bringing this extremely useful and popular workshop to Northern California! This class has sold out every time it has been offered! If you’re in need of some tools to work with your sensitive energy, or would just like to add more personal energy tools to your skill set – This is for YOU!</em></p>
<p align="center"><em> </em><strong>Are YOU an EMPATH?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you &#8220;pick-up&#8221; other people&#8217;s energy and emotions?</li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Do you suddenly FEEL something when you walk into a room or into a specific</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">area or can you  tell if there has been an argument in the room?</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Do people or crowds always wear you out, give you headaches or otherwise change</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">how  you  feel?</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Do you know when people are saying things that aren&#8217;t true, regardless of their words,</span></li>

</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: center;">If so, you&#8217;re probably an empath! Most people have empathic qualities&#8230;and some have extra sensitive empathic traits. These abilities can make situations (and sometimes life in general)</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">more difficult to navigate and deal with.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can genuinely care about how you feel and NOT let it effect how I CHOOSE to act. This is incomprehensible to most people&#8230;but by doing this I get to:</p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div id="id_50f1b00e734f34154710003">1. Jump up and down like a 4 year old when I&#8217;m happy, clapping my hands and REALLY emote my joy. I&#8217;m 43&#8230;this shocks most people&#8230;first they judge, then they laugh, and then they wish THEY had something to jump about. Hint: YOU DO have things to jump about&#8230;just DO IT!2. Laugh until I cry and can&#8217;t catch my breath and nearly pee myself&#8230;also in public. People judge this too&#8230;.too loud, too out of control, too embarrassing&#8230;but when was the last time YOU laughed like that?, and how often does it happen. Seize the moment my friends. Build you life from THOSE. ♥3. I speak what I need to speak at the time I (I being emphasized) want to. When I want to speak it includes my own feelings with consideration of yours, as well as time/place thoughtfulness. I don&#8217;t speak hurtful or difficult things just because I&#8217;m in that space at THAT moment. Sometimes I feel something has to be addressed RIGHT NOW, and when that happens, I try and preface my words so that clarity is present, but judgment isn&#8217;t. Everything else can wait until I&#8217;ve had time to process it and look at all the possible options and reasons I can think of&#8230;.How can I expect YOU to be balanced if I&#8217;m not making sure I am too.</p>
<p>4. I do what&#8217;s right for me AT THAT TIME. Sometimes that means going with the flow, and sometimes it means getting out of that boat and doing something else. Yes, people can feel shunned and left out. Sometimes they&#8217;re mad because I don&#8217;t do what THEY want&#8230;but those people are NOT being true to themselves&#8230;for if they were, they&#8217;d understand my need to be true to my own needs. I accept this and them. I do not try and change them. I do not judge them. This is where they choose to be, and if they ever decide to &#8220;come out&#8221; and be more self-honoring, well at least they&#8217;ve seen one way that it can be done. I DO explain my need to do something differently so that everyone understands as best as they can&#8230;but their pleading and pressuring doesn&#8217;t change my mind. I change my mind. Sometimes the things they say helps me change it&#8230;but in the end, it&#8217;s STILL MY MIND and my CHOICE. Who&#8217;s navigating your boat?</p>
<p>5. I love who I love, and I show it the way I want. Yes, it seems ridiculous to some people. People who judge me based off the company I might be keeping at any given moment&#8230;those people limit their World&#8230;and of course, are carrying the boundaries of what Others might think. When you judge someone else, you yourself are going to try and prevent being judged by others for the same thing. All you&#8217;re doing is creating boundaries from OTHER people&#8217;s opinions. What a TINY tiny cell that is to be locked up in. I&#8217;m free. You are too, as long as you let yourself be. I speak to whom I wish, I hug darn near everyone (even if it makes lovers jealous) because that&#8217;s how I FEEL&#8230;</p>
<p>6. I bitch, and stop my feet as I march in circles in my kitchen venting something&#8230;I honor my current emotion. This doesn&#8217;t happen often but when it does, it usually happens when something really bothered me but I CHOOSE to sit with it, look at it, FEEL with it&#8230;and come to a place of balance later&#8230;so now it&#8217;s bottled up a little&#8230;.but this was my choice and now I&#8217;m getting to wallow around in it. That&#8217;s MY choice. Don&#8217;t feel sorry for me. I don&#8217;t feel sorry for myself. It&#8217;s just where I&#8217;m at. Being human is an emotional experience and that means I honor ALL the emotions. I use my voice to both move that energy out of me, and to HEAR myself&#8230;which brings me clarity. The first time (or more) when people see this, they think&#8230;:Oh, well THAT&#8217;S not very spiritual!&#8221; and they judge. This always makes me laugh inside (even while I&#8217;m venting)&#8230;because being honest about where I am, to myself and who ever happens to be there&#8230;.I can&#8217;t get more spiritual than THAT&#8230;and besides, I&#8217;m not trying to be &#8220;spiritual&#8221;&#8230;EVER. I&#8217;m trying to be more ME&#8230;and that&#8217;s the BEST way I know how to honor my human experience. How you choose to do it is entirely up to you. If you judge how I do it, then you&#8217;re going to feel like YOU have to do it a certain way too&#8230;that&#8217;s someone else&#8217;s rule.</p>
<p>My actions and Choices are mine&#8230;based off of my feelings and a DEEP consideration for ALL things&#8230;it&#8217;s just that if I don&#8217;t honor myself, I cannot be honoring anything else with sincerity&#8230;so sometimes it doesn&#8217;t look so considerate&#8230;but that&#8217;s just because you may not know ALL the things I am observing and considering at the moment. How could anyone know? I cannot know what YOU are considering either..so I quit judging that a long, long, long time ago. Because of that, I&#8217;m free. I&#8217;m happy. I&#8217;m just me&#8230;full of love and hugs, temper tantrums and stomping, and tears of laughter as I double over in the corner of the store. I love me. ♥</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twice this week someone has asked me about the TEARS that come when one is moving energy or in extreme joy&#8230;and what to &#8220;DO&#8221; about them, if anything. The questions were almost identical&#8230;so again, I thought I&#8217;d share some of the written response I gave to one of them in case any of you had a similar question:<br />
&#8220;Well, in my experience there have been several reasons for tears. Sometimes they stand alone, and sometimes they combine. Truth resonates in the body, and that energy movement OFTEN produces tears. High energy movement in the system usually brings tears, as most fluids are the vehicle the physical body uses for helping to move excess energy. A release causes the same need. Lots of times people cry during the course of a reading for neither of those reasons, but because their energy is overwhelmed by being in a truly non-judgmental place of truth&#8230;the list goes on.<br />
I do not believe that anything needs to be done to stop the tears. They are the body&#8217;s response to something and usually the most efficient way of dealing with some energy movement. Suppression would not be recommended in those cases. I have had people who wish to move that energy in different ways, rather than cry, and the options I am familiar with include physical movement. Literally, you can stand up and do jumping jacks and it will move the energy and replace the tears. Any equal physical movement might work the same. The other option is sound&#8230;coming from the person who is crying. Sound is an excellent mover of energy and if one tones, moans, wails, whatever..it can move enough energy to replace the tears. It&#8217;s the same principal that occurs when someone is crying from sorrow&#8230;if the sorrow is strong enough, their tears will come with audible wailing, which assists since the tears alone cannot keep up. The same would be true for moving any other kind of tear related energy&#8230;though, like sorrow, sometimes the sound alone might not be enough and they would still have tears. Some people whoop and holler in joy and excitement, while others who are less comfortable with their voice, or less comfortable with using their voice in a certain setting, might silently cry instead. Tears are often a way to move energy that does not draw more attention to the crier, where yelling, elated joyful screaming would obviously be more conspicuous. It&#8217;s a person preference based on an individuals comfort level.<br />
In the end, it really needs to be about what each person is MOST comfortable with really. I have even gone outside and stomped the ground, or run through the woods to burn off some of the excess energy related to something, rather than cry&#8230;.simply because it FELT like that was needed and a faster solution than stillness and tears. I&#8217;m a fan of what feels right at the time&#8230;yet I remain considerate of the group as well&#8230;I still have to honor my own needs. If one cannot honor what they themselves need in that moment, then they often aren&#8217;t able to fully move their own energy and end up suppressing something, or struggling through the energy movement simply to avoid judgment of others. This brings up deeper issues of &#8220;Right&#8221; and &#8220;Wrong&#8221; that they would want to look at when the time is right for them.<br />
The goal, I believe, is to move the energy that is already in motion or needs more motion to it, in a way that blends with the individual best. If suppressing tears means suppressing the energy&#8230;then I&#8217;d not suggest that. Hope this helps!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Someone messaged me saying that they&#8217;d recently become aware and in alignment with the Universal energy of LOVE that emanates through all things. They were interested in what to do with that and how to help others come to that space. I found this to be an interesting topic and one that some of you might also be asking&#8230;so I&#8217;ve included part of my response to this person here&#8230;.just in case you might be helped by it as well.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m happy for you! You&#8217;re right, it definitely IS there. You&#8217;re in good company too, as MANY people are waking up to this very tangible ability to feel the energy. Many of them though, are somewhat overwhelmed by it and struggle some with that energy in different ways. Getting more involved is really a personal preference thing. There&#8217;s an endless list fo ways to use that energy for the Greatest Good. &#8220;Helping&#8221; other to come to that energy is only truly helpful if they WANT to get there&#8230;and they want to try and get there the same way that YOU are sharing. If they don&#8217;t want it, or they want it some other way, then you would be in a position of judging for them that they NEED it or that they SHOULD have it, or something along those lines&#8230;.and you definitely want to stay OUT of the range of judgment. Keep in mind that what works for you in your path, is NOT someone else&#8217;s path. Anytime someone feels &#8220;saved&#8221; by something, or feels like something has changed their life for the better, they are so happy that they want EVERYONE to experience it&#8230;and THAT can end up being an issue. The best you can do is share your story, see if anyone else is interested in sharing or trying your way, and they work with THEM. Don&#8217;t muddy your energy with trying to convince other people of your way, or your new perspective, or what&#8217;s better.<br />
If you&#8217;re simply looking for ways to share the energy YOU have, well that really IS endless. Just make sure that that energy of love you are working in, is in every act you do&#8230;whether it is speaking, being in service to ANYONE OR ANYTHING, etc. It wouldn&#8217;t matter if you were cooking french fries at McDonalds, that love energy would be in there and could be shared with everyone who came in contact with YOU or the french fries! Never underestimate the effect you can have on another person, plant, animal, mineral, or being, simply be emmiting the love that you have&#8230;spoken or not. Everything changes things. Every act you have, every word you speak, has some effect upon the world around you and is part of co-creating that world. Hope this helps!! Julie North</p>

<p>To tell you that I am grateful seems such an under-whelming way to express the OVER WHELM that I felt at Earth Night this year. The feelings that I have about that particular day root down into my very core! I was so happy to see that SO MANY of you came out in the weather Friday to the workshops&#8230;not because I wanted them to be full&#8230;but because it was tangible evidence, HERE &amp; NOW, that each of you were taking ACTION to achieve whatever it is that you&#8217;re each after&#8230;and THAT MATTERS. It matters a lot! I love the Presenters and love to see them supported, and I love YOU and wanted to see each of you supported..and to watch you all support yourselves and each other by truly being PRESENT in all ways&#8230;.amazingly beautiful. Simply amazing. I left the workshops feeling as hopeful for our future as I THOUGHT I could possibly ever be&#8230;.all because of you.</p>
<p>&#8230;And then we went to the LC for the concert. Anthony Thogmartin had asked me if I would do a short meditation onstage between EarthCry and Emancipator. I wasn&#8217;t particularly sure how that was going to go, to be honest. A meditation is often a personal and deep experience&#8230;even a short one&#8230;and not what my brain normally attributes to an event such as a concert. A SOLD OUT concert of 2500 people no less. I knew for sure that some of the people there were coming from the workshops&#8230;but MANY were maybe unfamiliar with meditations and well, I was just unsure about it. I felt good about it, but I wondered. I had no script written and nothing much in mind so I walked out on stage to walk us ALL through the meditation that I KNEW the Universe would give me when I opened my mouth. FIRST&#8230;.you all blew me away when I walked out on stage! What a TON of energy you all have when you focus it!! (Awesome job! Imagine what you can do with THAT, collectively). But what REALLY got me, was the incredible enthusiasm that you had throughout the meditation! A meditation is usually a QUIET thing&#8230;Ahhh, but we are NOT living with the rules of the past, are we?!? No no&#8230;.we were wholly in the PRESENT MOMENT (one of the many things I love about you all)&#8230;.and so we started in the heart and you screamed&#8230;.and with each expansion of that heart of yours, you screamed some more&#8230;.converting emotion and energy into sound, and those sounds back again into more energy and emotion&#8230;perfect symbiosis. When we got out to the entire Universe and we were directed to look at each other&#8217;s Divine Self&#8230;..I heard you screaming right from the core of your heart..and I opened my eyes to see a MASS of people hugging EVERYONE around them&#8230;.everyone! THAT IS LOVE. THAT IS SHARING. THAT IS DIVINE! And THAT almost made my cry, right there on stage (and even now as I recall it).</p>
<p>There is ALWAYS a balance&#8230;and I want to take a moment to DEEPLY THANK and HONOR those of you who were NOT screaming&#8230;those of you who held that immense energy down in silence and centered-ness, providing the anchors and tethers that allowed the others to fly higher than maybe they could on their own&#8230;safe, knowing they could come back and bring ALL that Divinity with them&#8230;because of YOU. After all, flying high is great&#8230;but bringing it back home is what it&#8217;s ALL about now&#8230;.so I THANK YOU for myself, and I THANK YOU (by proxy) from all the high fliers out there&#8230;.THANK YOU for supporting our wings AND our ROOTS.YOU, individually and collectively&#8230;.remind me of why I love BEING here on this plane.</p>
<p>YOU, remind me that there is ALWAYS hope. YOU constantly allow me an opportunity to do what I&#8217;m here to do, supporting me, while I do my best to support you&#8230;.and on we go. I so love you all! Thank you for making 12/21/12 the most monumental day I could have ever imagined. No event, No party, No sacred site could have EVER replaced being with YOU. Ever.</p>
<p>Special Thanks to Papdosio for ensuring that my children were able to get into the LC with me&#8230;as THEY are part of MY family&#8230;and exactly the kind of energy I wanted to cross that Threshold with. Much appreciation to you!</p>
<p>In deepest gratitude from the Whole of my Being, Julie North</p>
<p>P.S. I&#8217;m not sure why I&#8217;m telling you this part&#8230;but my Mother has been on the Other Side for almost 5 years now. I used to call her every day. She was my biggest support and we shared a deep love and respect for one another. Though I miss her physical presence, I don&#8217;t lament her not being here&#8230;well, I didn&#8217;t. Friday Earth Night, especially the LC&#8230;.made me miss my Mom. I wanted to call her and tell her how amazing you all were and how much love and hope there was. Though amazing things happen regularly in my life, NOTHING has made me want to call my Mom so badly as YOU ALL did. But I KNOW, I BELIEVE and I FEEL that she was there with us. She was likely out there in the crowd, screaming and hugging&#8230;she&#8217; would have eaten that UP! Thanks for making the kind of scene even my Mother would have been proud of!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as &#8220;Tapping&#8221;, has become a regular word around here. It started coming up in readings a few years ago and has become one of the tools that the Guides frequently direct people to, to move out emotional baggage and re-pattern in-efficient wiring. The resulting effects have been astounding!</p>
<p>Each person has what I call a &#8220;Re-pattern Point&#8221;, a certain number of days that something must be done in order to break the cycle or create a new one. Many people use the standard, 21 days, but if your Re-Pattern Point is 23 days, you might not get the results you&#8217;re after. In my practice, I generally see  days ranging from 19 to 35 days, with the bulk of people falling into the 21-25 day category. If you don&#8217;t know your Re-Pattern Point, I&#8217;d probably err on the longer side, just to make sure.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that it will take you that long to FEEL better, oh no! If you&#8217;re tapping something, and it&#8217;s written well, you will notice some benefit immediately. The more consecutive days you tap, the more exponentially better you feel each day! It&#8217;s easy to think that you&#8217;ve &#8220;fixed&#8221; your issue in just a week or so&#8230;.but if you have a pattern of reaction, emotion or behavior, you&#8217;ll want to continue the EFT through your Re-Pattern Point anyway.</p>
<p>Not everything that we want to tap for is a pattern issue though. Sometimes we get triggered emotionally, and it&#8217;s not REALLY a pattern. Something might happen where you feel guilty or angry. If you have a standing history with feeling that way <strong><em>OR </em></strong><em></em>you have a standard pattern of getting triggered by that type of thing, you&#8217;ll want to use EFT the entire re-pattern time. If it&#8217;s just an occasional or temporary issue, you can just tap until the issue isn&#8217;t there in your awareness anymore.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re trying to CREATE a set of functional wiring or BUILD something within yourself (like self-worth, abundance, feeling love etc.) then you&#8217;re most likely going to have to tap the re-pattern time as well.</p>
<p><em><strong>ANY AMOUNT OF TAPPING IS BENEFICIAL THOUGH!!</strong></em></p>
<p>For the Earth Night 2012 Workshop Series that took place on December 21, 2012, I gave a workshop called &#8220;Crossing The Threshold To Your New World&#8221;. In addition to briefly covering the Shift and the changes that are occurring within us, I offered up several simple tools to manage your own energy. One of those tools was EFT. I enlisted the help of an advanced EFT practitioner here in Columbus, Ohio, and together we wrote a script for the workshop. It was critically important to me to have a script that really helped you release old rule-based wiring and allowed you to move into a choice based life. I wanted you to FEEL good about yourself while you were transitioning.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever spent any time with me, you know that language is KEY. For 43 years (to date) the Guides have been correcting my language depending upon with whom I am conversing. The correct language to ensure that the most appropriate meaning is taken from what is being said. They also correct the language of those I am speaking with. (I&#8217;m sure my friends and family despise this fact, haha). As a result, I&#8217;ve learned the intense value of accurate language and I&#8217;ve done my very best to make sure that this EFT is precise enough to get right to the point, and broad enough to cover many bases. It&#8217;s not perfect, for there is no such thing&#8230;but it&#8217;s good, REALLY good, with it&#8217;s wording.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m including (below) the exact EFT text that we used at the workshop. It is a condensed version of the FULL EFT that was written, and that complete version will also be posted.</p>
<p>Before you use it, I strongly encourage you to print it, read it, study it&#8230;.basically I want you to come to some understanding of YOUR definitions of some of it. Some of the sentences are long&#8230;and maybe tricky for you to conceive of. I want you to get ALL that you can from your EFT. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you have some idea of what each sentence MEANS to YOU, before you use it, you&#8217;ll get more of what you want! </span></p>
<p>A video that you can tap along with will be coming soon as well.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;" align="center"> (Please take full responsibility as you tap along (as tapping hand to start)</p>
<p> Although I may not have always treated myself well…</p>
<p>I choose to unconditionally love and accept myself at all times.</p>
<p>And although I have previously allowed others to make some of the rules in my life,</p>
<p>I choose to take responsibility for the direction that my life is, and will be taking.</p>
<p>Some of these recent changes have caused me some stress and anxiety…,</p>
<p>Yet I continue to feel blessed to be living through this expansion.</p>
<p>I allow energetic changes in my body to happen gracefully.</p>
<p>I completely forgive myself and others for any transgressions…</p>
<p>…in this life or previous lives.</p>
<p>I continue to be gently aware of all energies and actions that no longer serving me on my journey.</p>
<p>I choose to gently release any and all wiring that no longer supports who I am or who I want to be.</p>
<p>I envision the Divine Light streaming into my body, bringing me the greatest good.</p>
<p>I am grateful for all the expansiveness that is happening to me today.</p>
<p>I welcome the upgrade my body is receiving energetically.</p>
<p>I am grateful to have more freedom and choices than ever before.</p>
<p>I am balanced and allow my body, mind, and spirit to move forward for my greatest good.</p>
<p>Every cell in my body is beautifully alive, healthy and happy and lights up.More and more miracles are available to me every day!</p>
<p>And I make space for miracles to happen in my life.</p>
<p>In my heart I know everything for my greatest good is available to me.</p>
<p>I am grateful for the awareness of my expansive consciousness.</p>
<p>I am filled with appreciation for ALL the blessings in my life.</p>
<p>Each day I take conscious control of creating my life.</p>
<p>I know, I feel and I believe that I am worthy and valuable.</p>
<p>I am loved for who I am.</p>
<p>I am co-creating a beautiful world from my space of collective, embodied light.</p>
<p>The energies of love, peace and compassion manifest into actions in my new world.</p>
<p>I feel balanced communication with people and my environment.</p>
<p>I love this new space of balance, co-existence and co-creation.</p>
<p>I breathe this new awareness IN and OUT</p>
<p>I feel empowered with each breath.</p>
<p>I am in harmony with myself and with all Divine Beings.</p>
<p>My energetic body is changing—it’s now functioning even better than ever.</p>
<p>I am getting a gentle upgrade—</p>
<p>-some of which I don’t know yet, but I welcome.</p>
<p>I know that all of us here are creating many paths for expansion.</p>
<p>and I feel completely free to follow any path I CHOOSE or CREATE, for the greatest good.</p>
<p>Opportunities <strong><em>abound</em></strong> for me.</p>
<p>I get to choose whatever I want to do at this time.</p>
<p>I know, I believe and I feel that my expansion is part of the greatest good.</p>
<p>I am a compassionate being.</p>
<p>I am compassionate about myself and I am compassionate about others.</p>
<p>I am getting better each and every day.</p>
<p>I am lovable, worthy and valuable.</p>
<p>I am a self-supportive, vibrational being.</p>
<p>Sound and light are two ways to move energy in my body&#8211; so I sing more.</p>
<p>I sing my healing—la, la, la, la, la—.</p>
<p>My voice is such an amazing healing tool!</p>
<p>Do, re, me, fa, sol, la, te, do.</p>
<p>I am happy—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!</p>
<p>I allow feminine and masculine energy to emerge and balance within me.</p>
<p>New neural pathways that support me are rewiring in my Being and brain.</p>
<p>And although the wiring of Guilt may have directed me in the past,</p>
<p>I choose to direct my life from a place of LOVE from here forward.</p>
<p>and I allow myself to easily and gently release guilt.</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it feels so good to let guilt go.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>Au revoir guilt! adios! sayonara!</em></strong></p>
<p>I am SO grateful to be at this amazing event with everyone here beside me!</p>
<p>I take care of my magnificent body by breathing deeply…</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhh, it feels so good to breathe deeply.</p>
<p>The oxygen cleanses my entire body, mind and spirit.</p>
<p>I am supported by the Universe as I move into this new expansive, loving energy.</p>
<p>Tonight when I sleep, I allow myself to gently and easily integrate what I learned today…</p>
<p>… and what my body is experiencing now.</p>
<p>I breathe and release and allow myself to relax.</p>
<p>I am centered in my heart and high heart.</p>
<p>I am sharing energy from my heart and high heart RIGHT NOW.</p>
<p>I can feel the heart energy shared back to me from others.</p>
<p>I trust myself more and more each day.</p>
<p>I choose to find the happiness inside of me…</p>
<p>and I see happiness reflected in the World around me.</p>
<p>I am transforming in easy, yet miraculous ways.</p>
<p>My new alignment allows me to co-create on a completely new level.</p>
<p>I am conscious of my thoughts and actions…</p>
<p>…and am making sure they are in alignment with my true intentions for the world I want to create.</p>
<p>I treat myself with kindness, compassion and love as I boldly go forward.</p>
<p>I co-create the miracles that occur in my body and in my life.</p>
<p>I am <strong><em>SO</em></strong> <strong><em>GRATEFUL</em></strong> to be here at this, loving Earth Night gathering!</p>
<p>I celebrate who I am and who I am becoming.</p>
<p>I celebrate being in a body now.</p>
<p>I celebrate each and every Being who is here today, on this journey with me!</p>
<p>I am grateful to be with each of you now.</p>
<p>Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!</p>
<p>(Breathe and drink some water)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Find yourself.</p>
<p>The <em>REAL YOU</em>.</p>
<p>Find out what YOU think, what YOU believe, what YOU feel&#8230;.not what someone has taught to too.</p>
<p>What would YOU DO if no one had told you how you what you were SUPPOSED to be doing?</p>
<p>How would you spend your time and energy?</p>
<p>How would you share your heart?</p>
<p>Find <em>THAT</em> person.<br />
Dig through your exterior piles of outside rules, expectations of others and obligatory behaviors until you begin to uncover the Divine You.<br />
Love the Divine You. Forgive yourself for hiding or allowing outside influences from keeping YOU hidden somehow. Smile. Awaken. Shine YOUR light.<br />
Vow to continue the excavation of yourself into the light of NOW so that you may continue to expand yourself, rather than furthering the image that someone else said you SHOULD be.<br />
Who are you at your core??</p>
<p>Celebrate THAT person.</p>
<p>Find new ways to incorporate THAT YOU into your daily life, a little more each day.</p>
<p>Stop hiding.</p>
<p>Allow yourself to learn new ways.</p>
<p>Allow yourself to change.</p>
<p>Allow others the same things.</p>
<p>Help others to emerge into who THEY really are by judging less and hugging more.</p>
<p>Help yourself and others by laughing more at yourself, and less at them.</p>
<p>Allow yourself to change you mind and your direction&#8230;and allow others to do that too!<br />
Carry Love for your Divine and True Self in your heart and wear or on your sleeve.</p>
<p>LIVE <em>YOUR</em> LIFE.</p>
<p>Live it in Love, Grace &amp; Compassion.</p>
<p>Aho!</p>
