“Energy Balance Exchange” Evenings Growing Community

 

 

Thank you for reading this article.  Its treatment covers Beginnings; “Wellness” and  “Well-being;”  Balance; Balancing; Time to Balance; Expanding Consciousness; Participating in Community; Sharing and Receiving in Circle; and Some examples of participants’ Experiences, …Upcoming Dates for 2009.

 

Beginnings

After giving a presentation at the Ottawa Society of Dowsers, we had to be out of the building by 9 PM and participants had more questions.  In the parking lot while other conversations were also taking place, an older woman told me about diagnosed facial myalgia on one side of her face that caused her pain for years.  She and I decided to explore using bio-computer muscle-testing.  At the end of five minutes she said her pain was gone.

 

This encouraged me as a facilitator back in 1998 to invite people to gather in circle and freely share their talents in a give-and-receive manner.  The purpose was for us to contribute to each other’s wellness and by doing so enhance our collective well-being.  In 2008 we moved to larger facilities at the Ottawa Citizen Building. In 2009 Spiritual Frontiers Canada graciously agreed to co-sponsor monthly gatherings at no financial cost to participants. 

 

“Wellness” and “Well-being”

A fellow filled with passion for the truth phoned me in May 2009. A straight shooter, he summarily challenged my use of the word of “Wellness” telling me in no uncertain terms that the word does not exist in the dictionary.  And to use that in a business name like “Wellness and Transformation” did nothing for credibility….  I thanked him for sharing and he hung up.  The beauty of that moment is that for clarity through objective sources (I hope you are curious too), I went on to online dictionaries and this is what I found for “Wellness” and “Well-being:”

 

wellness - a healthy state of wellbeing free from disease…. (Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wellness)

    

wellness

the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal <wellness clinics> <lifestyles that promote wellness> (Source: http://dev.m-w.com/dictionary/wellness)

 

 

 

 

well-being - a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous; "the town was finally on the upbeat after our recent troubles" (Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/well-being)

 

well-being

: the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous : welfare

My interpretation is that “Well-being” is an end-state and holds the bigger picture of what we are asking for, while “Wellness” encompasses strategies for restoring and maintaining good health.

 

“Balance”

Depending on the events in our lives, at any moment we can go into imbalance AND go back into what people call “equilibrium.”    It’s as simple as being thirsty and then drinking clean, fresh, spring water.  Our bodies and our minds tell us so. 

 

“Balancing”

The root of “economics” is the prudent management of resources and to me it has special significance for our health (wellness) and well-being, an often overlooked aspect seemingly taken for granted especially in the workplace and in negotiations for conflict transformation. 

 

We all have “surpluses” and “deficits” in our body/mind resources of energy and health.  We can transform these energetic resources. We can choose to exchange information and energetic surpluses to fill our deficits, whether it be hands-on and hands-free healing modalities, or compassionate active listening.  We can do this alone, and with others.  And we can further enhance new aspects of our strengths.

 

The essence of well-being is all about “balancing” our needs.  On one hand we have basic needs of space, temperature, air, water, food, shelter.  Beyond that we have relationship needs simplified by Vern Redekop into six deep-rooted human identity needs:  Meaning, Action, Recognition, Connection, Security and Sense of Self.  Balancing for ultimate “equilibrium” for individuals as well as nations means, in even simpler terms, we need to remember love AND universal peace…in short, co-creating heaven on earth.

 

Time to Balance

Balancing may have instant results, and may take longer duration.  In the life we live in, the duration depends…on a lot of variables. 

 

When thirsty, drink.  When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep.  All these take various amounts of time.  

 

It depends…. after extraction a part of an extracted splinter was left under my skin in my index finger.  I had sustained discomfort for as long as it was there.  The finger quickly and fully healed itself after the last bit was removed.   The healing took three days, more time than the moment it took for me get the splinter removed, yet less time that the period of discomfort (a week) with the remaining bit in my finger.  So it depends on the variables, such as detoxifying capacity of the subject, and the intention of the person doing the task.

 

Expanding Consciousness

Living a theory may not be the easiest thing to do…like in the BIG scheme of things, good and bad moments shall pass. Like a pendulum going back and forth between polarities, there is in one aspect a net balance whereby good and bad cancell each other out.  While in transition, another aspect is when we arrive at the balance midpoint between polarities, it is very easy for us to remember “Universal Oneness” when everything is precious, is of equal value and is irrelevant, all at the same time. 

 

In April 2009, PMH Atwater (pmhatwater@cinemind.com) shared with me that ‘balance’ is simply another expression of oneness, of the Creator, of God.  Moreover, “God in the depths of us receives God who comes to us; it is God contemplating God” (Jan van Ruysbroeck quoted from page 43, We Live Forever:  The Real Truth about Death with Wisdom from the Edgar Cayce Readings, Atwater: 2004.)

 

In her books and videos, PMH Atwater also shared the most frequent words used by people who had near death experiences and came back and by those with near death like experiences are: “Always there is life.”  So even within the continuum of a soul’s experience, there is balance through shifts of consciousness.

 

To facilitate balancing in a gentle and profound way, the client and I call upon the collective wisdom of the divine light (in ourselves and in all our relations, including our ancestors.)

 

Participating in Community

 

o      Are you in situations that you have not yet been able to resolve by yourself?  

 

o      Despite various degrees of skepticism in small or large measure, are you open to the possibility that another person might be the one to gently accelerate your re-balancing?  As simply as through compassionate listening?

 

o      Have you taken a workshop or course and could use some practice with your new skills and/or would like to practise listening with empathy?

 

o      Are you a facilitator in training and looking to complete case studies?

 

o      Are you a professional who wishes to expand your practice through word of mouth testimonials?

 

 

                              Sharing and Receiving in Circle

                              In an opening circle we explain how the Exchange is based on honouring other individuals’ gifts and situations, on interacting with other participants as equals in a life-enhancing positive manner, and realizing that any balancing process or tool can work for many at their matching frequency level.  Miracles are never guaranteed.  We do acknowledge they may happen, and welcome when they happen (shift happens!) 

 

                              For clarity and understanding, we ask participants and guests to state their offer and request two times.  We then mingle and match with others for one on one, one to many, and many to one balance exchanges.  We often have two or more exchanges in an evening.

 

                              We also announce the upcoming events of the next two months, hosted by Spiritual Frontiers Canada (SFC).

 

At the Energy Balance Exchange evenings, we save time, money and feel good. Exchanges are simple AND profound at a personal level. Be prepared for an evening of universal peace, healing and …surprises?
