The New Road Taken
Turning down an unexpected Street and Coping with a New Unexpected Reality
Dear Friends, Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
This essay grew out of the phone meditation held on the
September Equinox. You can listen to that meditation
now
and also explore the new
sound healings
page. I will be in Niles, MI Oct 14 and then Ottawa, Canada
Oct 20-23. In Ottawa I am joined by wonderful musician
friends Jeremy
Sills(Tibetan
Bowls) and Gordon Johnston(harp) for a Candlelight
Concert,
followed by a workshop
on Sacred Song and Healing, then a day of Private
Sessions.
Plans are still percolating for an early December workshop
and sessions near Richmond, VA. Stay tuned for more on that,
and some west coast winter events.
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost from his poem "The
Road Not Taken"
Since June, it is as if our planet has entered a cosmic
roundabout. You know what that is - a traffic circle with
all those different streets that you can turn onto.
Sometimes they come with lanes that are marked, but more
often than not it's up to you to navigate your way around it
until you reach the street you want to turn onto.
We had meant, I think, to exit out a particular street.
Instead we kept going around and around for most of the
summer months. In early September we suddenly turned onto a
street. But it is not the one we all had agreed upon
exploring. We are not where we expected ourselves, as a
planet, to be.
This is not what the GPS told us to do. But it is what the
GPS of the shared subconscious of humanity decided upon. As
we are traveling this new area we ourselves are becoming
different from whom we thought ourselves to be. All the
choices that we have made need to be remade. What tools do
we need now for this new journey our souls have chosen?
If you are going camping in the mountains you take very
different clothing than if you are going for a vacation in a
luxurious hotel. A walk in a cold northern rain forest
requires different planning from a walk in the warm desert.
What tools do we need to pick up now, for this part of our
journey? What choices do we need to let go of, or remake,
simply because we aren't where we thought we were going to
be. There is nothing wrong with where we are. The planet as
a whole, changed. The group consciousness reset the GPS. We
are in a different place than where we thought we would
be.
Allowing ourselves to realize this helps us to also validate
that we did nothing wrong. Choices that we thought would be
available to us now are not showing up in our lives. This is
because the planet chose to exit the roundabout on a
different street. And it is taking our personalities some
times to recognize that we are now traveling in a direction
that is not the one we anticipated traveling in.
As a result the tools we use may change. Our decisions may
change. Things that we thought we were going to do we might
not choose to do now. There are other options in our lives
on this new street that were not present before. And some of
our previous choices are too far away energetically to
easily access and bring into form now, on this new
street.
As we release what we thought would happen, we can begin to
ask; "What is it that we can do now, on this street, that we
could not do as easily before?" One of the things that
happens on this particular street is a deeper integration of
the polarities expressed as male and female on our planet
than what we might have achieved had we exited on the
anticipated street.
This integration comes not as a blending of male and female
into some homogenous whole, but rather an honest assessment
of the strengths (and weaknesses) of the qualities our
various societies have assigned to each role. My guides
suggest that over the next two decades our perception of the
sacred version of both male and female will slowly emerge
and be valued by the many societies that make up our human
world.
Now What?
Since we exited
the cosmic roundabout onto a street in early September, you
may have noticed a shift within yourself. Perhaps a bit like
that sensation of landing, not too gracefully, in the water
at the end of a long waterslide. For me it has been a sense
of feeling my feet beneath me in a new way.
Letting your body feel the shift and experience the question
mark that all of humanity is going through allows you to
reassess what you need now, and what you need to let go of
now. The soul changes its journey very quickly. It
reassesses and releases those explorations of life that are
no longer possible, while embracing the new options before
it. It is our personality that has the more difficult task
of adjusting to changes in the journey of our soul within a
lifetime.
The soul accommodates shifts and changes easily. Our
personalities…not so much!
You may have noticed that I frequently use the phrase
'legally incarnating portion of your soul' when defining the
soul that is related to a physical body. It is because
during times of great changes in personal and planetary
consciousness, different portions of your soul may want to
take advantage of exploring a situation that is suddenly
become available within your lifetime.
As a result of our planet exiting onto an unexpected street
from the cosmic roundabout, there is a portion of your soul
that is sizing up its potential to experience what it had
planned to experience. This portion of your soul is deciding
whether or not to stay. Likewise, other portions of your
soul are recognizing the potential for new experiences, and
are considering coming into a closer relationship to your
body. The possibilities that this new street offers may
encourage new portions of your soul to enter your body, and
other portions to exit.
As new portions of your soul come into relationship with
your body there can be certain symptoms that arise. One is
an increasing intensity in the dream state. Portions of your
soul that are exiting often need to finish up their
business, and so the energetic patterns they are engaged
with will rise to the surface of your awareness in both
dreams and in waking, everyday life circumstances.
As the new portions of your soul enter, you may experience
the sensation of doing something that is very routine as if
you were doing it for the very first time. Something as
simple as turning on a faucet, putting your card into an ATM
or logging into Facebook might suddenly seem like new
experiences but at the same time familiar experiences. I
once stared for the longest time at the standard stick
figure symbol for the women's restroom as if I had never
seen it before. Fortunately the rest of my soul, and more
importantly my body, had a muscle memory of where my feet
had walked to multiple times each day in that building!
Most portions of our soul shift in and out during sleep or
deep meditations. My sense is that small portions are
constantly shifting in and out, and we do not notice these
little adjustments. It is only when a large portion of our
soul leaves and an equally large portion replaces it that we
recognize something has happened and we feel somehow
different. There are always aspects of our soul that remain
constantly connected to our body and to this lifetime. These
aspects help ease in the new portion of our much larger
soul. In most cases all of us is integrated once again
within a few hours or days, and we have readjusted our focus
to accommodate the life journey that the new portion of our
soul has brought into our life.
And for those of you who might be wondering, yes, the guides
and angels also shift. Those spiritual helpers associated
with portions of the soul that have left also leave, and
make room for new guides and angels. When this shift in the
soul does not happen easily into a new reality it is most
often because we ourselves are holding onto the old guides
and angels.
This is one of the principle issues that I find myself
helping people with in private sessions. At this point I
don't know a way of doing it completely by oneself, but I
have provided meditations (click here) that address this
issue. I equate this type of energy work to getting a
haircut: you can cut your own hair, but someone else can do
it much quicker and easier because they can see the bigger
picture.
No one of us is healing and changing outside of the context
of our shared connections to the subconscious of all
humanity. Whatever small step each one of us takes makes it
that much easier for another to make a similar step.
My blessings to all who read this,
-Norma

Our soul's essence resides within our root
or first chakra. Just as foundational
energies of our reality present themselves
as polarized (good/bad or dark/light), our
own souls divided themselves into male and
female in order to incarnate. Here is a
meditation to help you access both aspects
of your own soul: Sacred Masculine and
Divine Feminine. Regardless of the gender
of your physical body both essences are
2123qnow available and both actively
support your body. In this meditation the
focus is upon your root or first chakra.
This is the foundation of your body, and
how you engage with this physical world.

A Note on Phone Meditations and CDs of Meditations and
Teachings:
As of today, I have 33 Meditations and Teachings recordings available. They cover all on different subjects, some are direct channelings from my guides, most often Archangel Michael, Mary, the Hathor Atamira, Thoth, Shesat or a group of Ascended Masters. Most of them invoke Sacred Space and then focus on an issue and provide time for your guides and angels to work with you energetically.
Many are drawn from the live Phone Meditations that I offer each month. About half contain healing songs or chants. All are offered freely as podcasts (you can subscribe directly on iTunes > Podcasts > Norma Gentile) or at cost CDs. At this time donations provide the funding for the free monthly (or so) Phone Meditations, the recording and editing process, posting them online and paying the monthly fee to maintain them online for free download. As of today, more than 40,000 downloads of these meditations has occurred. And chances are you have participated. Thank you! I know it is your energy that shapes each meditation and newsletter, and helps pull the information and insights that I share through me from Spirit.
I look forward to many more meditations, and many more downloads! And yes, please share these newsletters, podcasts and phone meditations with your friends, your email circle and others.
Private
Healing Sessions
(offered in person or by phone)
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 $185 and last about an hour.
Please be in touch with me to secure an appointment time.
