Grounding isn't what it used to be...
A meditation and song for grounding into your Earth Soul
Dear
Friends,
When I first began my spiritual journey, I began with the
assumption that my Soul was perfect, and therefore lived
outside of my body. It lived in Heaven. Heaven was then
still defined in my world as some golden city floating in
the clouds…more or less…but something that
certainly did not exist or have anything to do with living
here on Earth.
Maybe it was just my community that focused on the aspect of
wealth in its image of Heaven, but I decided as a young
child that if the streets of Heaven were paved in gold, then
I didn't want to have anything to do with it. No trees? No
grass? No dogs to play with? Clearly, I was not yet
indoctrinated into the ways of the suburban upper middle
class! But my discomfort with my community's definition of
Heaven encouraged me to search for my own definition. For
me, Heaven is the expression of Life upon the Earth. From
plants and trees and lush green moss to wild lions roaming
the plains and tabby cats curled up in the afternoon
sun…each is an example of Life, expressing itself as
Heaven on Earth.
As soon as I realized that Heaven is a quality of living
which we each may create, my spiritual questioning gaze fell
upon my concept of Earth. If being in Heaven is so desired
that (according to my Christian upbringing) we must die in
order to arrive there, what does that say about Earth?
Clearly (again, according to my Christian upbringing) Earth
is second best. Not that great of a place to be, compared to
Heaven.
No wonder I could not conceive of my Soul as having any
connection to Earth! My Soul was perfect, and therefore
would not deign to reside in the Earth, only in Heaven. And
so my belief remained that I had a Heavenly Soul, but not an
Earthly Soul.
Until I met my prejudiced belief about Earth head-on.
Was it shattered in one moment? Probably not. Or at least I
don't recall it that way. There were a series of small
moments over a few years. These took the forms of
conversations and overheard comments with shaman friends.
There were personal experiences during my meditation time,
or while teaching and channeling, or singing. I found myself
connecting to Nature energies in many different cities and
countries as I welcomed their participation in healing
endeavors. No matter where I was, I found myself consciously
connecting and conversing with Nature Spirits in every
workshop space, church, hotel room and even a few
airports.
I found the same loving acceptance of my queries to Nature's
Intelligence about the relationship between Heaven and Earth
as one might feel from a patient (but sometimes weary)
teacher. "Earth is Heaven. Heaven is Earth. You (humans) are
separating them into two things. They exist together, not
apart. One does not choose between them. Your needing to
choose is the illusion you have built. Nature does not live
in polarity as humans do. Nature reflects polarity only
because Nature expresses the consciousness of humanity. As
humanity arrives at a point in consciousness that is outside
of polarity, so too will Nature express itself in
non-polarized physicality."
Simply put, we create our reality. Nature acts as the
translator between ourselves and our physical world. For
example, are you thinking about painting a room a new color?
You are (consciously or unconsciously) consulting the Nature
Spirits and Intelligence of the room for their suggestions.
Whether or not you follow their suggestion (that odd color
that just caught your eye might be fun) is up to you.
Below is a song (and spoken meditation) from a recent
Gathering that focuses on helping you find your own soul's
energy deep within the Earth. To say it will help you ground
is overly simplistic, but yes, it will help you feel more
grounded. In a larger frame of reference the spoken
meditation and song assists you in releasing inhibitions and
blocks around accessing the power and psychic intelligence
that your body is meant to have. When we are connected to
our Earth Soul as much as we are connected to our Heavenly
Soul something different happens in our lives. Are you
ready?
-Norma
Yes,
please share these newsletters with your friends,
your email circle and social media. Now
for the related sound healing! This song
(and the spoken meditation before and
after it) came through me from Archangel
Michael. I present it in two versions -
the complete healing with the song in the
middle, and a version with just the song.

(offered in person or by phone) June 1 - July 3
I am very good at helping to lift off heavy
energies and get chronic issues to begin to move.
Any energy released goes home, to follow its own
growth and evolution. This means that what is
released does not return. And it means that those
energies with awareness know that I mean to help
them. In this way your agreement to "keep them
safe" is brought to completion, because they are
released with honor and respect onto their next
step. This is true of all energies, big or small,
that your soul and body are ready to release.
Remember that any energy in your body or aura that
is not in time or in tune with you will cause a
slow, steady draining of your vitality. This leads
to larger issues arising in the physical body,
emotional overwhelm, and psychic cloudiness. A
complete "deep cleaning" regularly can help you
find, address, and release what is no longer yours
to carry. This frees you up to engage fully with
your own life's issues. (and yes, we can address
life issues as well in the session).
A recording is made of the session. When you listen
to the recording your guides and the healing angels
will return to continue to help your personal inner
understanding and release continue. Sessions are
$215 and last about an hour. Please be in touch
with me to secure an appointment time.

Sound
Shamanism; an exploration and live
demonstration
Sacred
Sound has been used by all spiritual traditions,
from indigenous cultures to the medieval Catholic
Church and today's modern sound healing practices.
A single sustained tone allows the brain to quickly
silence itself and shift into a state of
reflection. Imagine what more can happen when
Norma, who is a professional singer and also a
trained healer and channel for Archangel Michael
brings her voice, Tibetan bowls and presence to
us.
Norma Gentile, (B.M. and M.M. in Vocal Performance)
has her feet in both the professional music world
and in the shamanic traditions of healing. Having
seen auras and angels as a child, she learned to
utilize her spiritual connections as an adult by
training with shamans and psychics while developing
her own means of using music for spiritual healing.
Drawn to music that lends itself to inviting
listeners into a deep state of inner awareness,
Norma combines Tibetan singing bowls from the
eastern meditation tradition with the western
medieval chants of St. Hildegard von Bingen.

THE
GIFT OF POLARITY: How and Why we
use Polarity in our Lives.
2. We
created Polarity
& more
information
As
long as we have physical bodies here on
Earth, we are creating within polarity.
Our bodies are perfect examples of this
polarity; organs that exist on both left
and right sides, a brain with two
hemispheres, and of course our upper and
lower 8th chakras. We are designed to grow
in our understanding of polarity while
incarnate. Only by entering fully into
polarity can we encounter our next step.
When we resist this process, we may become
disenchanted with our life, feeling
sluggish and uninvolved; or we may spiral
out of our bodies, feeling euphoric but
disconnected from what surrounds us.
This meditation will assist you in
becoming aware of the issues that you may
be avoiding, and provide you with a
nurturing safe environment in which to
consider them. Here your guides and angels
are present. Notice insights and ideas
that may occur to you. These will be how
you address your life issues. This is a
time for you to choose how you desire to
move forward.
This meditation includes two channeled
healing songs. More of Norma's healing
songs, along with videos, can be found
under Sound
Healings
and Recordings.
Her albums are available on
iTunes
and at Amazon.
These
meditations are very similar to what I offer in my
Private
Healing Sessions.
