Tension and
Creation
When we
perceive a two distinct things vying for our attention at
the same moment it creates tension in our body, emotions
and, if prolonged, in our lives. In a recent session the
client's guides pointed out that it is often the tension
pattern we experience that pushes us into a more deeply
creative state of our own being. This is one way to engage
in a spiritual creative process.
My own
guides pointed out that we are encouraged by society to
actually avoid deeply engaging in such spiritual creative
processes. Instead we are taught coping mechanisms to
diminish the tension we feel, so that we don't have to
address the actual cause. Addictions are one of the
principle coping mechanisms1 we are encouraged to use. Go
shopping, go on vacation, think happy thoughts
don't
think about what is bothering you! Here is another way to
deal with tension, by turning the energy of the tension into
a moving creative process.
First,
acknowledge that there are two (or more) issues that are not
vibrating in a complimentary fashion in your life. An
example would be having to be in two meetings or different
places at the same time. Or saying 'yes' when you really
needed to say 'no' and take care of yourself. Or being torn
between spending time at work and time with family.
I see these
two issues often as being something I really want to do and
something I don't want to do. I label each issue as having a
vibrational quality or level. I label one higher (what I
find more comfortable, something I want to engage with) and
one of a lower vibration (something that my body, or belief
system or emotions finds difficult to engage with). And this
is clearly my own judgment of how I perceive these two
things. Comfort equals something good, so I assume it has a
higher vibration. That which is uncomfortable has a lower
vibration. For this moment of living on Earth, polarity does
exist. And utilizing this polarity of opposites is how
creation happens.
Tension
builds up when two differing patterns of vibration meet. We
experience this as a sense of urgency. It is not unlike a
bowel movement announcing itself to our body. You must give
attention to it! When it is a creative process inspired by
the interaction of two differing vibrational patterns, we
feel the potential for movement in our own beliefs, emotions
and physical body. All these are also energetic patterns.
The creative process is acting upon the energetic patterns
of your day-today life and so also upon your perception of
reality.
Where two
different vibrational patterns come into contact with each
other an active creative zone exists where they meet. As my
client pointed out, it is not unlike a storm that forms when
hot and cold weather fronts meet. We often perceive this
zone where differing patterns meet as friction or discomfort
or a burden - again, not unlike the sensation in our body as
a bowel movement makes itself known. And just as with a
bowel movement, our attention is needed in order to complete
the creative process.
The tension
pattern generated by our being exposed to two different
vibrational patterns is what urges us to turn inward to
Spirit. At some point we recognize that our knowledge simply
does not include what lies in the zone where the two
patterns meet. We open ourselves in prayer or meditation and
ask for guidance. This allows inspiration, often in the form
of a creative solution, to come to us.
I think of
polarity as being a unique forum where this type of
creativity happens. If all were the same, there would be no
such zone of creative potential. Only here, within polarity,
do the opposite ends of every belief or situation co-exist
together. When these two opposites meet, the friction of a
creative zone comes into our reality. How we deal with this
is up to us. We can choose one side, usually the habitually
comfortable side, and say that it is the highest vibration
or the correct side. Or, sometimes we recognize that space
of creation that exists because of the tension caused by the
meeting of these vibrational opposites. And in the moment we
acknowledge this creative space, something different and
unique can happen. We become a creator of our
reality.
As we move
into this time of Winter Solstice, I invite each of you to
simply notice when you are choosing the comfortable 'higher'
vibration, and when you are choosing to sit in that space of
somewhat less comfortable creative potential.
My blessing
to you,
-Norma

(the mystic, seer, newly
proclaimed Saint and Doctor of

For
me music is a form of
prayer, drawing from
within us the peace that
already exists. We can
allow peace to be
present on Earth,
because it is already
present within each of
us. Within our hearts,
our souls and our
beings, we carry our
unique connection to
Spirit. As we feel it
each day in ourselves,
we will see it more in
others.

REPEATING PERSONAL NOTE: I continue to take a deep
breath as I face a year (at least) of upgrading my ancient
website to HTML5 and easy mobile access. If you are good
with DreamWeaver and have an interest in helping please let
me know. Thank you for the volunteers so far to come
forward. There is plenty of code to update. I am glad to
work out barter / pay arrangements.
NEW MOBILE APP is HAPPENING NOW!
Part of this transition will be visible in the
newsletter. And in a NEW MOBILE APP that let's you directly
access the monthly videos, healing songs and audio
meditations on both iDevices (iPhone/iPad) and Androids. If
you want to help me test the app, it is currently available
at http://app.healingchants.com You can download it onto
your phone now by clicking on the 'share' option. On my
iPhone that looks like the share option at the very bottom
of the screen, NOT the larger (and more obvious) share
option within the app screen. Click on your browser's
'share' option and select to put it on your phone. That
should do it! Once on your phone, play with it, and use the
'share' option inside of the app to share it with
friends.
NOTE: Below are links that you just have to click on and let
the internet do the work. Please do share this and let
friends (who may believe they don't know enough to take
advantage of the free sound healings, meditations and
videos) know about these easy links:

Fulfilling
Your Promise
to All of Creation
Bringing
Your Unique Vibration into the
Earth
|
|
|
Your full potential is a promise made by
your soul to All of Creation. According to
this promise, your only task is to bring
the unique vibration resulting from the
union of your body and soul into the Earth
now. As your soul embraces through the
body, not just the mind and heart, those
qualities of energies that you agreed to
create for all of us are more palpable,
more available, and more generously
offered to All of Creation.
When your soul is fully engaged into your
body, there is a palpable frequency of
energy that is generated. Your soul
emanating through your body and generating
this energy is what you agreed to bring to
this lifetime. It is your soul's promise
to Spirit. Each one of us has this
responsibility. Fulfilling this promise
usually begins with a longing to simply be
still. Here are a series of mediations and
songs to help you do that now.
This
meditation includes many healing songs.
More of these songs, along with videos,
can be found under Sound
Healings
or Recordings.

Michael and provides a unique healing for you each
time you listen to it.
This is a live recording of a healing concert.
The focus is the opening of the heart to Sacred
Masculine energies held within the Earth. These
sacred energies provide a surround and suppport for
the feminine, especially as it relates to the women
living in the Middle East, and their emerging
Divine Feminine power.

A Note on Phone Meditations and CDs of Meditations and
Teachings:
As of today, I have
39
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.
