Donna Blevins Shares Living the Hand Life Deals You

By Kat Sturtz 10 Comments

Donna Blevins Virtual Summit 2019 replay post image

In this final replay from the How I Make Working from Home Work for Me Virtual Summit 2019, guest speaker Donna Blevins brings insight into the use of shifting our mindset as no one else can.

Listen as this Big Girl of Poker explains how she entered the world of professional poker in her late forties, plus what she learned about playing poker that saved her life. Also, check out below the fabulous free resource Donna has available to you.

My heart claims I’ve known Donna for ages when in truth as I write this is, it’s barely been a year. On private video chats, we’ve laughed till our sides hurt and shared sorrows that had us virtually hugging and wiping away tears. And, I love hearing how she stunned medical staff when she used mindset shifts to help recover her speech in three days following a stroke versus the six or more months the doctors predicted.

I couldn’t think of anyone I wanted more as a guest speaker to wrap up my first live virtual summit than Donna Blevins. She shuffles humor and insight and mindset together, lays those cards on the table, then explains how much better you can play the hand life’s dealt you when you choose to shift your mindset on demand.

See below the replay video for more information and tips on how I planned out and hosted this successful virtual summit.

How are negative energies created?

By Kat Sturtz 14 Comments

bowl of activating yeast

There was a time when I couldn’t figure out how a basically happy, optimistic and contented person like me could feel so suddenly depressed or heavy or ill, especially when I’d been having an otherwise better-than-okay day. Now I know.

It’s those negative energies that not only build up inside us but can surround our bodies and fill our spaces with clouds of negatively charged ions.

We’ll explore how to get rid of them in another post.

For now, allow me to limit this post to discussing negative energies that affect us at a personal level. In other words, negative energies we create ourselves (knowingly, as well as unconsciously) and negative energies generated primarily by other humans that affect and infiltrate us.

There seems to be no lack of ability for the majority of us to create our own internal storehouse of negative energies. We create them any time our thoughts, words, deeds and behaviors are less than positive.

I don’t know about you but try as I might I can’t completely rid myself of thinking or uttering unkind words from time to time or wallowing in moments of self-pity and low esteem. I believe that over the years I’ve become less critical of myself and others. But slip up I do. And more regularly than I’d like to admit.

Adding to what we muster up all on our own are the unreleased energies we’ve absorbed from others. Problem is, we are often slow to acknowledge when we’ve been zapped and slower still in taking conscious action to release them.

With acknowledgment comes responsibility. And it can be oh so hard at times to remember that we are in charge of our thoughts. And oh so easy to slip into victim mode. To blame others for our troubles, for our moods, for our inability to take action. And, most stifling of all, for our inability to believe that any action we take can result in positive outcomes.

Activating YeastDuring readings, the intuitive symbol my guides often show me when someone is holding onto a lot of negative energy inside is a bowl of rising bread dough. How far the yeasty dough has risen can indicate how close they are to rupturing from the pressure.

Dough-rising

 

Or how depleted they feel if the dough has been punched down so hard and too often that it now has no sign of any active yeast left that would allow it to rise again of its own accord.

 

(Notice how my guides take advantage of my cooking experience when creating what amounts to intuitive shortcuts to understanding. 🙂 Work with your own guides to develop your own intuitive shorthand.)

Why not take some time to examine any negative energies you might have lingering inside.

Where did they come from?

Were they internally generated by negative thoughts, words, deeds, or behaviors?

Do you have pockets of unreleased negative energies absorbed from others?

Are you ready to take responsibility for them?

In other words, are you ready to do what is within your power to flush them from your physical, emotional and spiritual system? Are you ready to make room for more positive energies to fill you like a warm, fragrant yeasty bread dough rising to its full and delectable potential.

In a future post, we’ll explore other external sources of negative energy.
Please take a moment to share your questions, experiences, as well as what has worked for you in helping recognize and release negative energies.

The Call to Sedona, new book by Ilchi Lee

By Kat Sturtz Leave a Comment

A Call to Sedona, by Ilchi Lee

Did you get a copy? Can hardly wait for mine to arrive. I've had to satisfy my curiosity by reading the previews and sample text on Amazon. 

While I found Sedona much too dry for this water sign gal to live there full time, I loved my week-long trip a few years back with friends. In addition to feeling all the amazing energies that flow in and around the area, the highlight for me was finding a tiny raw amethyst in a dry creek bed we were hiking.

The afternoon sun was just beginning to slip behind a stand of majestic red rock. As I stretched to step up the incline I noticed something glisten between my feet. It was the amethyst lying there nonchalantly, barely an edge wedged into the soil. No matter that it was no larger than a baby tooth. It reached out with several well-defined crystal points. And its color is the same as the sky on the cover of The Call to Sedona. 

I love that little gem as much today as when I first cradled it in my palm for the trek back to where we had parked near Red Rock Crossing. Despite its size, it speaks to me in the way silent, invisible energies are wont to do.

"Millions of people visit Sedona each year, drawn by its amazing red rocks, striking sunsets, and sense of peace. But Sedona has much more to offer than its incredible beauty," says Ilchi Lee. Sedona, he argues, has a unique power to open people's eyes to the magnificence of the Earth and their own souls, and to uplift their consciousness. In his new book, Lee describes how anyone can achieve enlightenment, purpose, and fulfillment by experiencing the true spirit of Sedona-even without stepping onto Sedona's soil.

If it's still November 8, 2011, when you're reading this, it's not too late to take advantage of over 16 special gifts that you can receive by purchasing The Call to Sedona on Amazon today. 

Here are just a few of the special gifts being offered:

  • Free downloads of some of  Ilchi Lee's guided meditations, such as LifeParticles Meditation and Audio Nature Meditation
  • A special lecture video from Lee's September 2011 lecture to Sedona residents at the Sedona meditation center where he answered questions on the nature of meditation and its power and impact in our lives.
  • An ebook version of Lee's Principles of Brain Management: A Practical Approach to Making the Most of Your Brain (BEST Life Media, 2007).
  • plus many other ebooks, ecourses, as well as a variety of consultation sessions from a great line-up of spiritual coaches and sites. I'm proud to be part of such as esteemed group.

If you missed out on the big launch with all its additional goodies, still consider getting a copy of The Call to Sedona.

Incidentally, to give back to Sedona for all that he has received from it, Ilchi Lee is donating 30% of his royalties from The Call of Sedona to local charities.

And, just in case you were wondering, I'm not making so much as a penny off book sales.

Sweat Lodge Experience – Nov 6th at sunset

By Kat Sturtz

Here’s a wonderful event that welcomes you to experience the Native American sweat lodge tradition. Ila Davis is located just south of Frankenmuth.

Thanks Connie for forwarding this invitation from Ila and extending the invitation to Spiritual Thumb members:

Location: 11601 Gera Rd., Birch Run, MI 48415
Click for map.

Sweat Lodge Experience   Sat. Nov. 6, sunset

Contact Ila: naturalwonder06@gmail.com       989-624-9893

Ila says:
I always say do not bring anything into the lodge that you do not wish to work with as the energy awakens talismans. I have no issues w/jewelry, but some metals can get quite active & hot. All attending may be comfortable in T-shirts/shorts. Best not to eat solid food for 4-6 hrs before sweat. Drink plenty water before hand & water is allowed inside.

No fees or charges and donations go to the lodge & land keepers.

Dry change of clothes will do wonders after the lodge.                                  Fireside Drumming Ceremony led by Boe Glasschild

Thanks Ila for the hosting such a wonderful opportunity.

Ila is also hosting a Vegetarian Potluck starting 2 hours before sunset on Saturday, Nov 13.
