Who is the Real devil in American Politics?
(also published in the Huffington Post and Kindred Spirit (UK)
Dear
Friends,
It is rather difficult to miss the election, so here are
some thoughts on the intersection of Spirituality and
Politics:
American politics isn't about American politics. It's about the patterns behind our daily choices, the outdated beliefs we don't realize we still follow, and the shared conscious connections we have with our friends and family. Right now, American politics is putting on display what our culture is ready to look at. It is showing us what Americans need to make a choice about. We may choose to continue certain behaviors, or we may choose to change certain behaviors. But even the choice to continue certain behaviors will be made in a conscious manner because the American candidates and the 'circus of it all' is bringing these choices to our attention.
We are choosing between two distinct ways of living life. These two choices can be summed up as questions:
1. Is this what we really want?
2. Is this what we are willing to tolerate?
Our choice
may well define American society for the next several
decades.
That old adage of choosing the 'devil you know' rather than the 'devil you don't know' is at play here. What appears to be the 'devil we don't know' only looks devilish because we don't know it. As people living in a quickly changing world, our tendency is to choose the discomfort we know, rather than chance a greater discomfort within the unknown. Of course, this keeps us in a constant state of discomfort!
But with this election we have the ability to make a choice, and to choose something new for ourselves. I think that we keep forgetting that if we choose something new, and it is uncomfortable, we can always make another choice. Restaurants hate it when we send food back, but it happens. We are allowed a do-over in other areas of our lives too.
But we tend to fear trying something new. Our tendency is to assume that if we choose something new, (i.e. the devil we don't know), that it will be worse than our current circumstances (the devil we do know). Our fear of the unknown creates a belief that there will be pain in the unknown. Therefore we will not change. We fear the potential pain that we assume lies within the unknown more than we fear the known pain.
Politics isn't about choosing a candidate. It is about each person making their own internal choice. Do you choose to tolerate the devil you know in your life? Or do you choose to answer the question 'What it is that you really want?' When we each answer that question honestly, I believe that our politicians will have to answer it as well.

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
