Detective Work

I always wanted to be a detective. I love solving mysteries. Working as a holistic emotional health practitioner, I get to solve mysteries. Even as a musician, I solve the mystery of how to play tunes, gathering the facts: melody, harmonies, nuances, arrangements, and then put them together to create the solution.
As an EPTworks Practitioner, I help people be happier, live longer and find freedom to enjoy their lives! My detective work FINDS the limiting beliefs that are holding someone back from moving to a higher level of satisfaction in his or her life. I then FIX it, and finally walk you through a FORGIVENESS process that helps you to LET GO of what's no longer serving you. I may be called a Healer, but I don't HEAL anyone. The human body was made to heal itself, if given the right tools. I'm the facilitator in guiding you to your own healing. I love my detective work and solving the mystery of what makes people happier, healthier and freer to enjoy what they love to do.

Full of Love

Naturally Restored Technique supportive coaching. 
We're all born full of love and expecting love. That's why we love babies: they're full of love! We love our families and everyone around us and we think everyone loves us. But events happen that cause us to believe we aren't receiving the love we expected: Mom or Dad don't have time to listen to us, Mom and Dad get divorced, or Mom and Dad fight all the time, we move away from extended family and friends, a teacher puts us down, a friend betrays us, or we get divorced, we lose our job... So we get a wrinkle in our emotions. Those wrinkles stay with us at the cellular level, stored as negative energy in our organs. Even though we don't think of them anymore, our bodies are still holding on to that wrinkle and it's affecting our current affairs of life: it could be holding us back in our career, our relationships - professionally and personally, causing low self-esteem, under-achievement, money issues, health issues, depression, fatigue. Our organs are working hard to keep everything going, while in the background, the old program or virus is still running.
Naturally Restored Living Technique is designed to find the limiting belief that put a wrinkle in your emotions and guide you to let it go, reframing your perception of past events and current situations about yourself, your family, your work and your life. Most people have an Aha Moment during a Naturally Restored session. There's a Moment of Forgiveness. It's that moment when you sigh and feel you can let it go. All the fear, resentment and self loathing disappear. Naturally Restored is designed to get you to that moment faster and more often than you would expect. Naturally Restored therapists are trained to Find the limiting belief that caused you to feel uncomfortable, to Fix It with Polarity therapy, and then guide you through the Forgiveness process. Forgiveness is the icing on the cake. It sets you free to give and receive love in a way that's closer to when you were full of love. Naturally Restored is one of the most rapid ways to bring back your spirit and health!

How Does Muscle Checking Work?

Muscle testing is physical and it's about intuition. Everything is vibrating: every living thing, person, animal, insect, plant; also rocks, trees, crystals, precious stones. When you feel good, you vibrate at a specific frequency. When you feel bad, you vibrate at a different frequency. When you are well, you vibrate at a specific frequency, when you are ill or angry, you vibrate at a different frequency. When you have any thought or feeling, you vibrate at that specific frequency. Sound waves are vibrations. A radio is made to receive certain vibration frequencies so you can hear what's going on. Your ear is designed to "receive" certain frequencies. If your ear received every frequency that's out there, it would be deafening. Only the vibrational frequencies that the ear is designed to receive, or pick up, are "heard" or noticed and used for whatever purpose.
When someone you love holds your hand, you are congruent with their vibration and frequency, so you are attracted to them. When someone who annoys you tries to hold your hand or hug you, you are not congruent with their vibration and frequency level, so you pull away and don't enjoy being touched by them. You feel repelled.
It is this frequency vibration that the holistic practitioner and coach is looking for when she is muscle checking.
Muscle checking gives us the opportunity to "receive" the vibrational frequency that is going on in the human body and mind, and even in an organ or gland. That's why a trained practitioner doesn't need to ask questions aloud when muscle checking. When the practitioner has a thought, a silent question to the body, the practitioner's body will vibrate to the frequency of that question, thought or intention. The client's body (or muscle) will respond with a vibrational frequency that indicates whether the client is
congruent or not congruent with that thought. In this way, the practitioner can determine many things about the health of the client. When a trained practitioner asks the right series of questions, she can find where your body has low frequencies, indicating illness or emotional stress, and high frequencies, indicating strength in health or emotions. She can, then, recommend suitable therapy or coaching to raise the low vibrations to guide you toward a healthier mind, body and spirit.

What's Your Story?

We all have a Story. I have a Story, you have a Story, Mom has a Story, Aunt Ruth has a Story. We all know our own Story 'by heart', we've told it many times. How would you like to heal and resolve some of the hurts in your Story so that you can change the ending to a happy one? Is that really possible? Yes, it is. With Naturally Restored Technique, one of the tools I use to help people Let Go, you can alter your on-going Story so that you can be free to find joy in your life. And you don't even have to tell me your whole Story! I can help you find the "limiting belief" within your Life Story that's blocking your progress to a more rewarding Story.

Forgiveness

Forgive everyone and everything, including yourself. It's not an easy thing to do, but with gentle coaching and kindness from a friend and tutor, it can be done. Forgiveness lifts a great weight from your shoulders. Forgiveness is for YOU!...not for the other person. It doesn't excuse the person who wronged you. It doesn't 'let them off'. It frees up YOUR energy so you can fill up with positive and strengthening emotions to move forward with joy and relief. Gentle coaching that prefaces the forgiving process will lead you to be able to forgive and let go with ease. It will feel natural and you will breath freer, sleep sounder, be healthier, live longer and have more energy to enjoy life! Bio-Polarity Tuning that I call Naturally Restored Technique is a tool I use to help people let go of the pain and hurt, leading to a more rewarding life in the present and future.

Smart grand daughter

In 3 days' time we will travel to Ohio to visit our sweet little pixie great grand daughter and bring her and her mother home with us for a week's visit. She's a precious 2-year old who loves to do whatever the grown-up people are doing! She wants to clean, to do the dishes, to scrub the tables and the floors with a wet cloth, to sweep the porch, fold the laundry; to play the concertina, the harp, the piano. Whatever we're doing, she thinks she should be doing it, as well. No toys for her! She craves to use the smart phone or the laptop computer! What a fascinating age we live in! Children don't see photos on paper, they're all digital! Of course, we think she's exceptionally smart, but I suppose most babies surprise their families with how fast they learn!
Computer age files: We have boxes of old photos from the 1800's to the 21st century, passed down from past generations, all needing to be categorized and labeled. Now we almost never look at them, we have them in digital format and saved on the computer. Now, when I visit my mother in the Health Care Center, I show her recent photos of family, and  all are saved on my Smart phone.

January update and projects

Thursday and I'm planning to find fabric in pink floral roses to make slip-covers for my living room chair and sofa. I expect to find a lovely vintage look at Hobby Lobby, possibly tomorrow. I've always loved the Cottage Look with floral designs and china, but also the English Manor House Look with bold red tapestries and rugs. Since I already possess some of each, I will have to merge these two designs! The last couple of weeks, I knitted 4 hats: 1 for Maureen and 3 others, I suppose, for myself. I love wearing hats even indoors.
I have several pieces of furniture that have been "passed down" to me from Gram and Mom, and they don't actually match, but I don't like everything to match. I'd rather look like a gift shop. My mother frequented her local antique shop and acquired a beautiful set of pink rose china plates, also white plates with gold trim. I have vintage cups and mugs with rose décor. I have Mom's small collection of old silverware and I use the real silver. After keeping it in a closet for years and only getting it out on New Year's Day, I decided I wanted to enjoy it every day!
I have Mom's collection of English tea cups, 2 Russian teacups. The tea always tastes better!

New Year

January 6, 2014, 12 inches of snow. Yesterday, it snowed all day, but the temps were not bad, at all, so we were outdoors, shoveling and building a snowman. The below zero temps came after dark and the wind created snow drifts that built up against the back door! The sun is shining today even tho we now have -20 Fahrenheit. New Year's Eve was super fun. On the 30th, I got a call to play 40s style piano at a private party of 300 guests downtown Indy. The location was a wedding venue in a restored old church building. The theme was New Year's Eve, 1943, and a murder mystery party.
Throughout the evening, actors portrayed scenes from the story and the guests were invited to solve
the murder. The winner won a free use of the venue for a party of 30. The music was great from a local DJ, MY piano music and songs were in the side room, the cocktail lounge, while the DJ and dancing were in the very large ballroom. I met a couple of new friends. I have plans now for learning Gaelic, learning more tunes, working on other instruments, and trips to OSAS, while also visiting family on the West Coast. Looking forward to Spring.
