Principally Speaking March 1, 2011

“As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I get THAT. There are so MANY ways to run a business, have a relationship, create a nutritious tasty dinner or skin a cat, which I’d NEVER do, as I value my cats and would find that cruel and untasteful.

But, back to the moment. This moment. Or looking at ‘that’ moment. Flowers at the height of their bloom. Two children. A glance. A home, resplendent, filled with life, parties, victory. All the while the clock ticks.

I pray for peace within my heart, within yours, the ability to be where I am, grateful, abundant. Present. Here. Now.

Blessings….everywhere.

Dayz-D August 23, 2010

I have no need for TV…unless I need some comedy in my life…..though I suppose comedy is in the eye of the beholder.

A rotten egg can be comical if you like watching things decompose, fall apart, turn green then grey. I guess that could be comical.

I’m stretching here.

The human race embarrasses me today. I am on the receiving end of a blunt, face bunt….

I’m sturdy, I’ll recover for sure.

But ouch.

People can be horrid and I wonder why….what possesses people to be hurtful, rude, uncaring and hateful???

Then, in the same breath, I met recently a person both kind and giving….several in fact, in just a few days.

Yes, we all want what we want….but there are ways to go about it which don’t work to destroy others.

I believe in some semblance of karma.

And with that, I’ll not contribute to the horridness I see, I will affirm instead, in ho’oponopono fashion:

‘I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you.’

Though far from perfect at much of anything, I know my heart and my intent, at all times.

I prefer being part of a solution, not the problem.

And I prefer loving choices, not ones seeping with mercury, angst, victim oozing or gun metal gray overtones.

It just ain’t my thing. A cleansing I shall go. And there is much to cleanse.

Vibrating at a Higher Frequency… April 20, 2010

Our bodies are energy….electromagnetic. When we operate from good intention and in integrity, truth as we know it, authenticity, (if you will), our health is better, we manifest our desires effortlessly. Heart energy vibrates at a very high energy.

We will be hearing more of this sort of language in upcoming days….I’m beginning to hear and feel it spread like a light fragrance throughout the planet….and I am encouraged.

I have visited many worlds…and some only briefly, but I am here to help others arrive in new spaces as I find myself doing the same….and I am.

Incidents from this very day point that way….a new hire gets another job, allowing another new face to enter the scene creating different and encouraging possibilities. A former student of energy healing and myself reconnected on a business front and have a synergy to expand consciousness in business circles to embrace a new way of being and doing that WILL transform the world in a positive way.

And this just in from Karen Bishop…from her Wings Post.

As we ever so steadily progress with our new arrival into a higher vibrating space, we are “shifting into high gear,” as my star friends describe it…like a vehicle moving into overdrive, into its full capacity, and needing to accommodate a much faster moving energy.

Earthquakes, earthquakes everywhere, strange and unpredictable weather patterns, unusual moods and behaviors for many individuals, and a strange emptiness are but a few of the climates that these massive energy movements are creating.

The cosmic tsunami of new and higher vibrating energy is arriving more steadily now, while at the same time, the earth is moving and adjusting as well, as she prepares herself to more fully accommodate these new energies of our very new space.
….

As we progress ever onward, we will indeed learn how to navigate with the heart energy. We will know to have it readily accessible to other heart energy, and to keep it closed for those who are not ready and who do not see us.

Now seemingly an almost rare and extinct energy, we will always know when the heart energy is present, as we will feel it immensely. It is the wave and glue that brings everything to us and allows us to manifest almost immediately. It is what connects us if we allow it to override all else. We will come to know and see each other, heart to heart. And we will draw to ourselves what we connect to with our hearts.

As our circles of connection may begin to feel as if they are getting smaller, the connections that remain for those in the higher realms are all about the heart. Yes, we will begin to bond with and come together with those who share this energy. Like the cream of the crop, it will rise to the surface and stay above and beyond what is now occurring at the lower rungs of the ascension ladder.

….

Much will begin to fall away now, as it can no longer exist in these new and higher vibrations. As the earth changes continue on, we will experience more and more crashing, endings, and closing doors as the old prepares for its impending demise. Like dominoes of extinction, things will begin to fall very rapidly in times to come.
….

This is where my heart is now taking me…to the hearts of many others out there along the way. And not coincidentally, it is also in true alignment with one of my new endeavors and offerings. If we follow our hearts, if we gravitate to what is at the core of our being and to who and what we are all about, and if we follow the trail of crumbs to a space that is full of our own hearts and that will activate the heart in others as well, we cannot go wrong.

And so….here we go, here we go…arms out wide, be open, breathe in the good, breathe out the bad…..and consider your greatest possibilities, the highest good and zoom, get ready as it’s on its way, its on its way!

Walking the dogs and mending fences February 22, 2010

I don’t walk my dogs. I open the door and let them run and hope they stay inside my 2 acre fenced in area. They don’t always and then I call and call and in they come.

I’m always repairing fences as they don’t liked to be fenced in any more than I do.

Seems I do a lot of metaphorical mending of fences as well. It’s useful. And I can do it alone in my room, while traveling on a bus, while taking a shower or in a room full of people. I prefer alone.

But, with regard to walking or not walking my dogs, sometimes I walk through the nearby fields with them. Not lately though….it’s so muddy and wet, trees are falling down in my pretty forest. Our drought is certainly over in Georgia. (Noah I heard is on his way here).

So I’m thinking about long walks and I’m thinking about fences tonight and I’m considering how we hold things in our energy fields until I suppose we’re ready to let them go….or until cancer shows up and the Universe perhaps begs us, ‘let go now sweetheart, come on, you can do it, let go.’ And God is patient, should we not hear the first time, well, expect a stronger reminder!

And I’m considering some of the things I’d do best to let go of and how powerful the following statement might be to help in that letting go, ‘I’m sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you.’ Or in a simpler sentence perhaps, ‘if there is anything I might have done to cause you grief or pain, I’m sorry, please forgive me.’

I’m learning the power of forgiveness.

We hold energies from generations past, blueprints really. It’s not genes so much as an energetic blueprint. So, if your ancestors were pillaged and made peasants, beaten and berated, your energy field holds some of that blueprint and you might find yourself being a bit reactive to anything that hints at that kind of action taken against you.

Here’s how I know, (and I do). Energy medicine again, it’s the real McCoy. I’ve had allergies erased through a reprogramming of sorts to my system. Or with my recent back travesty, (level 8 out of 10 pain), though I uphold and value chiropractic technology, the more helpful and useful to me has been dealing with the distortions and dis-ease in my energy system which pull on the body and consequently misalign your spine, twist things and create VERY tight muscles, and in my case, PAIN!

It took two visits to Dr. Poulin, my energy healing pal, to help release some of the recent patterning with regard to what has felt like some rather yucky (technical term), events of late in my life, (to me), all which finally manifested in my body, mostly my lower back and sacrum…..memories become triggered and all our memories are stored in our body.

So, as Dr. Poulin sees and sets those patterns to a better functioning, I could feel for instance, my lower back release, let go in a sense, thereby allowing my muscles, which have grown everso tight, to release, and the spine comes back into alignment and ultimately my energy returns as my body isn’t fighting so hard to correct what was awry. And hooray, I can stand up straight again!! I’m 5’7″ again, (okay 5′ 6 and three quarter inches).

It’s amazing this practice and I have not only been witness to its impact, but the beneficiary again and again. I had a conversation this past weekend with a chiropractor who asked about my symptoms, the level of pain and was sure I needed adjustments 2 or 3 times a week, no doubt for weeks and weeks and certainly an xray as ‘you might have a slipped or degenerated disc’.

‘No’, I assured him thoughtfully, ‘it’s some stuff in my energy field that needs clearing. A lot has happened in my life lately and I’ll be fine after a visit or two with Dr. Poulin.’

And I am.

I don’t think we have to age as we have in the past. But I do know that without these measures, I’d feel much older than I am and paying a chiropractor more money than needed.

So tonight, I am walking the dogs in my mind….just being with the easy movement and meditation of that simple activity and I’m both mending my fences to keep certain things out and fashioning neat holes where I need to let some influences in and some forgiveness out.

Keeping the light on. February 1, 2010

With the myriad of dense energy I’ve found myself mucking about in lately, realizing my inner zing and joy was a bit diminished, I knew it was up to me, and only me to turn things around….to turn my light back on. I have a lot of light and typically, great energy and joy, despite normal week to week frustrations and my last crazy butt year and a half. But lately I’ve been stuck energetically in the mud!

And so, I called upon my healer pals, a diverse group of people from all professions, ages, nationalities and reasons for wanting to know better how to live in our world, with joy, in peace, with robust health, in love and on purpose, connected indeed to the spiritual part of themselves.

Chakras and our etheric field, we're all connected!

Suffice it to say, laying on the table of an individual who has tapped into his or her healing abilities, (we all have them), one who knows how to tune into the energy in and around the body, is something special indeed. As I get heavy in mindy earth bound day to day ‘stuff’ I forget what I know to do….like ‘breath BB’. (I appreciate reminders), move, (dancing being my preferred choice), and to sit quietly to hear what I need to hear!

When I do, (and how hard should it be), I remember, I remember better who I am, what I stand for, my intent, my connection to God and a host of other supporters in ether form. I remember and ALWAYS feel better. And I’m serious here on a topic which I don’t know how to speak about well, yet.

We are energy, we have an etheric field which is around our body and which represents the physical, mental and spiritual parts of ourselves and energy wheels, (which can actually be measured physically), called chakras. All true! And these energy fields can become distorted, from emotional trauma, an injury, by not taking care of yourself, not being loved properly. While studying with Dr. Fernand Poulin of Whitewinds Institute for Energy Healing, I learned to sense the distortions and with intent, manipulate the energy to assist an individual in clearing away energies which aren’t productive.

In time you’ll hear more about energy healing. But look it up online or go visit Fernand or my new partner in healing, Janice Davey. I’ve seen Fernand remedy and cure things which weren’t helped by allopathic medicine. The work is amazing.

Janice combines her massage and essential oil knowledge with energy healing. On Sunday she gifted me with 2 hours of one of the most powerful healing sessions I’ve experienced, and I’ve had many. (‘Tune ups’ I call them)! How good to let go of attachments to people I need to let go of, to ideas, hurts and to instead, let new energy (light) in. She asked if my lower back had been sore and YES, badly so. She felt a blockage in my sacral area. Better now. We store memories and hurts in our bodies, all which can be intentionally released. Bye bye. And how good instead to move new life force and clean energy throughout my body.

And though I might lose you here, Janice has guides who come to help her, (yes, in spirit form). (We all do you know). At one time she was working on my head and I felt hands on my abdomen and working on the energy field around my heart.

Amazing all that. There is so much to experience beyond what meets the eye.

I feel the lightness returning to me and will get back to practicing what I know so well, taking time to tune into the divine energy we all have access to at any moment, while releasing the energies which serve us not. It’s all part of the process of being spiritual beings having these human experiences.

This work enthralls me. (Old as the hills really). So, if you dare, be open, as really, what is there to lose??

I stumbled upon the video below, with a scientific bent really, which may or may not interest you. (I feel it’s worth the 4 and a half minute watch, music by Delirium….very cool)! Apparently created by the Humanity Healing Network, an organization I just stumbled upon as well.

People working to do good! Here’s to balanced chakras and oodles of light!

Keep your fire burning, mon, come on…you must!

5 Thoughts and One to Grow On January 5, 2010

A few thoughts hit me like water balloons to the head last evening and early this morning.

#1 JUST BE. Be what you envision, the way you view the world.

Quit with all the doing, the explaining, the effort. Be the change, the difference.

Big night really.

And then the big shazam was when I remembered, remembered mind you,
(consider the things we forget when we are tired, overcome, overworked….not inside ourselves)…..

# 2 That LESS IF OFTEN MUCH, MUCH MORE. Difficult for a mind-y, chatty woman such as myself.

And then of course there is ……#3 ‘BREATHE’…you can’t push learning, you can only create an oasis for things to grow. Projects, people, ideas, businesses…

And that the mind is limited, which leads me to……

#4: ‘LISTEN’. ‘What’? ‘Listen’. ‘Oh’. ‘It’s all there if you’ll but listen’.

Wow!

Exhausting day really. But today is bound to be different. I might go about things a bit differently.

And #5 Do something sweet and thoughtful for someone and STOP BEING SO SELF ABSORBED. For a moment I felt embarrassed and then I totally cracked up and laughed at myself…because I can and it felt right.

And that lead me to one more thought…the importance of FORGIVENESS. To ourselves and to others. Planet earth is a learning ground where we practice living. Practice mind you.

So, today I might do some things differently.

Here’s to what was learned yesterday and here’s to bright tomorrows….for us all.

Why not?

Energy… October 16, 2009

What exactly is it? Life force. Chi? Prana? Heat, vigor, potency?? Vibrancy, passion, luminescence? There are a zillion names. To me it’s the stuff that transmits through the ether, think radio waves. I like that Leonardo di Vinci’s energy is still in the mix, however so is Idi Amin’s. I like that a positive thought can overpower a negative one with the right intent and persistence. I like that crap that gets stuck in my etheric field can be cleared and I feel better. I like learning how to direct my energy in a healing manner and that I can do good in this way. And, I don’t even have to be present to impact someone’s health, their outlook or their mood.

Consider when you first feel attracted to someone you find beautiful, lovely. Without them being in the room that energy, the vibe, the thought of this person can lift you up, make you smile, make you wanton, eager, full of fresh ideas. It’s energy. Similarly, the thought of someone who does less than lift you up can put, certainly me, in a sour mood.

I have been the recipient of energy healing for over a decade and I studied how to direct healing energy several years ago during a year course of study. Though still a novice, I was astounded by my own abilities when I put aside my doubt. My teacher, Dr. Fernand Poulin, founder of White Winds Institute, would encourage us to TRUST what we felt, what we saw as we worked to develop this ‘sixth’ sense really. And when we did, miraculous things took place. I was easing aching joints, aligning spines, unwinding tense shoulders and putting the give back in cranky, stuck necks. I’m merely a dabbler in this art/science, though I know it’s power (my power) and the power of energy healing.

Similar principles are used in NAET, (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique). Dr. Devi Nambudripad discovered the methods for removing allergies in the body thereby eliminating a variety of diseases. Though I’m more open than most with regard to techniques on how to maintain great health and vitality, I do need to see and feel the results.

From Dr. Nambudripad:

‘The brain provides warnings to the body whenever blockages occur within the energy pathways. These warnings include illness, pain, inflammation, fever, heart attacks, strokes, abnormal growths, tumors, and various physical, physiological and psychological discomforts. If the symptoms are minor, blockages are minor. If the symptoms are major, blockages are major. Minor blockages can be unblocked easily, whereas major blockages take a long time to unblock.

But more often than not, they can be unblocked and the body can do what it was designed to do, heal itself.

I can testify to being now 95% free of what were once intense springtime and disrupting food allergies.’

I subscribe to the following thought and belief:

“The Doctor of the future will give No Medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” -Attributed to Thomas Alva Edison

There are so many things I’ve yet to discover or I like to think of it as ‘re-remember’ as I feel somewhere, somehow we KNOW more than our conscious minds will allow. Perhaps the journey into ourselves is the greatest adventure.

And I thought it might be a forthcoming trip to California, now cancelled. I feel a better adventure, more suited to me perhaps, on the way. I might not even have to leave the state, then again, perhaps I will. I’m just not sure yet. I’ll know when it’s time to know.

And again, I find myself reminded to move within to listen for my own wisdom, certainly influenced by the many worlds of thought and belief which cross my door. Everyone I meet has an opinion, a world view.

Sure they do!

I may til the day I die be sorting out mine. It keeps changing. Yet I do know for certain, my actions and intentions will endeavor to point toward all good.

Cancer Stinks! And maybe our thinking is limited. September 29, 2009

My friend has cancer and she’s just not yet jumping in to take care of it. I can’t imagine what’s going on in her mind and heart. She’s so lovely. She’s so dear to me. I’m doing all I know how to do at this point, and I ask for guidance daily about how best to serve her, to help her back to robust health, because her cancer is at a point where she can have that kind of return.

She’s had all manner of friends who have died of cancer….one friend who is about to die, in about 2 months, (of lung cancer, as my mom did), and this friend will be leaving behind a 6 year old little girl. They are telling the little girl next week that her mommy will soon be leaving. I have no children yet can hardly swallow at the thought of having to have such a conversation. How does a 6 year old fathom such a thought? My head becomes numb with the magnitude and import of the task.

I’m a fighter. I’ve fought all my life. I came out of the womb, (early, of course, VERY early), with a mission and knew that there was stuff I needed to do and even in the midst of total confusion over what that might be, I’ve never doubted there was a mission. It’s why I’m here!

HOWEVER……I’m learning, (albiet slooooowly), to not FIGHT so much now as (oooooh, am I really saying this), to listen, and move more slowly.

Oh Lord….I feel friends and colleagues with their jaws dropping to their travertine floors.

I think this cancer nonsense needs not so much a ‘fight’ as a shift in how we do things, a look at the REAL cause behind the ‘cancer.’

I’ll rally around emotional, physical and spiritual well being as I always do. When ‘stuff’ goes wrong, there is a reason. I have all manner of notions about why ‘stuff’ appears to us and was especially prone to a major ‘aha’ in that regard after reading Caroline Myss’ book, Anatomy of the Spirit. And, I don’t believe so much in genes influenced by heredity as much as by energetic imprint, which can be altered. (I’m out on a limb here, I know….).

And for the record, I’ll note it here, (cause I can)….I feel the future of wellness lies in a big…. a BIG way, in the area of energy medicine or energy healing. Look it up. I’m serious as a………..healthy heart. Yes, look it up, it’s real, I’ve experienced the benefits, I’ve seen it serve people with cancer and all manner of dis-eases. Miracles are to me expanded consciousness, of what is possible and ooooh nelly, it’s WAY bigger than our human minds, even the REALLY sharp, savvy minds I’ve had the pleasure, distinct pleasure, to meet. This is bigger than helium smoking pot!

I could go on and on….but I won’t. Though later, you are warned, I will. I have some real ideas and BB theories around this entire area of thought. And how I love expanded thinking and what it can manifest. And no, I have no scientific proof, just have experienced some things, read a lot and met LOTS and LOTS of people who have their own miraculous healing stories. I’ve met healers who just sing a different tune, and I like their song.

In the meantime, Lewis Black DOES make a point! I mean come on….come on….let’s do something new. Or I’m reminded when Mother Teresa was asked if she would march against war – she said NO but I will walk for peace. It’s all in how you look, how you view something. A SHIFT in how you do things. Oooooh, God bless us everyone!

Navigating anew September 3, 2009

Blue Atlas Cedar

I was leaving work this evening around 7pm, the beginning of autumn promising crisp, starry nights, (a harbinger friend of fall told me so), sweaters and robust red wine drunk on my porch with a fire blazing, a must at my home. (One of my favorite things to do with people I care about).

So yes, there I was walking out from a day, a week, a month, oh, really a year of so much. The tipping point has indeed come and suddenly I am noticing that just as my GPS failed to work this week, (for once I got the extended warranty and it paid off), but that I have needed to ‘navigate anew’, as the old pathways don’t work anymore. Of course it broke!! You can’t follow the same maps when you are going somewhere new! Any road warrior knows that….and I’m certainly a traveler in life this particular ‘go ’round’.

Similarly, as I shared in an earlier post, I dropped my old PC on my wooden stairs, and though she seemed to crumble into a hundred small pieces, she was not gone altogether and limped along til I got my new Apple Pro. Yet such irony.

My old operating system was petering out, my GPS failed….truly signs and symbols to what is occurring on a grander scale. When I am awake I see these things….and I endeavor to be just that. My evening slumber only fuels me to work another day to stay awake.

So, this week the compass turned a notch more and I could feel my sails billow with excitement, much as I do when I feel the crisp hint of fall or the clean clarity of a new direction, with the right energy wrapping its arms around me like a fuzzy sweater. You can feel it, it’s a ‘vibe’ thing. And the new vibes are rolling in like eager waves to the shore.

And as I walked from my lovely Carl House to the car, through the vibrant, twilight gardens, there he was, my tall and handsome Blue Atlas Cedar. He’s been with me all these years, steadfast and true unlike any lover I’ve known. He’s a friend of the truest kind. He is there as I come and go, reliable, a witness, a champion, there for me to rest beneath or just admire. Steadfast. Strong. He wears no mask, plays no games, he is just there. Not judging, just present. There. Regardless my mood, whether I notice him, in all kinds of weather. I feel his warmth, acceptance, love really.

I find this comforting as I navigate anew. If I could wrap my arms entirely around my Blue Atlas Cedar, I would, in thanks and with deep gratitude. Instead it’ll be my intent and he’ll know. We’re just that close.

It’s the little things that make the grandiose possible, my big dreams made up of these small ahas, turns in the road and the recognition of things I just hadn’t seen. It’s funny how one day, there they are. Lovely really.

New Addresses Abound… August 19, 2009

I’ve moved a lot throughout my life. I’ve liked it that way. I’ll move again I am sure. Though, my bungaloo with the high ceilings tucked away in the forest with 3 ferocious dogs and 3 killer cats, suits me fine just now….trekking into civilization works for the moment. My car takes me all kinds of places. There are not many amenities where I live, ‘cept some great fields for walking and trees to sit beneath. It’s a lovely getaway…an incubator of sorts.

So my addresses change.

I have a new Arriving with BB Webb address….FYI…..(if you read below, the old one was confiscated by adolescent pirates, the most ferocious sort). The new address is http://www.arrivingwithbbwebb.com This site will herald in new work, new projects, speaking, writing, tv stuff….so please, stay tuned, or sign up for my newsletter for a periodic update.

And, I’ve taken to the occasional twitter….so please feel free to ‘twit’ me. My address is http://www.twitter.com/bb_webb

So….addresses change, locations come and go, but I, well, I am always here. And that’s comforting to me. If I feel lost I merely look down and there I am. Every time. It’s nice to be able to depend on some things. I am, when all is said and done, reliable to myself.

I like that.

And I am glad YOU are out there.

And while I have you here, I’m collecting new music, and perhaps you have some to recommend to me….music ripe for the soul, music to run to, music to sing to, music to dance to….I’ll take it all.

And hey….thank you in advance.

And because you care enough to show up, I have a song for YOU! (I’m on a Weepies kick). Here’s to all the REALLY good things!
