Not Me!
How We Play the Blame Game
Dear Friends, April 17 -
Ann Arbor Embodying
Healing Sounds Workshop
I'm on my way to Portland
Oregon, where
we (meaning myself and you who come to the concert) will be
part of a NEW
ALBUM of Healing Songs & Chants.
Incorporating the energies of the Full Moon and Spring
Equinox, there will be microphones amidst the many wonderful
candles of the Old Church on Friday, March 18, and I hope
you will join me there.
The focus of this concert is creating music to remind us of
the power of stillness, and the sacredness of deep power.
Please join me, and share this notice with others. Doors
open at 7:30pm for seating. Tickets $15 are available at the
door, online, and New Renaissance (where I'll share a
workshop on newly emerging aspects of sound and healing).
Bring meditation pillows if you want. More information on
the Calendar
page.

Not Me! How we play the Blame Game
Blame is a child's
game. We learned to play it at the youngest of ages, when we
pointed to our sibling, our pet dog, cat or goldfish when
asked by a parent "WHO DID THAT?" This was a natural
response we developed to protect ourselves from the
emotional arrow of anger behind the question being hurled at
us. What we learned, unfortunately, was to perpetuate this
scenario over and over again in our lives.
When we were children, the emotions of adults rained down
upon us, becoming so overwhelming that we may have even
experienced these energies of highly charged adult emotions
as actual physical pain. And we need not have been in the
same room as the adult emitting the emotional energy. How
often has a crying child interrupted a whispered argument
between parents? Or an uneasy child, unable to fall soundly
asleep, kept parents who have unexpressed anger between them
awake night after night?
My point is this: emotions are energies. They are just as
real as radio waves and just as easily picked up by infants,
children, psychics and most anyone who has been born into a
human body. We just don't always allow ourselves to listen
to this level of energy in our lives.
Back to blame. This is a particularly common energetic
frequency. If you could hear emotions as musical notes, I
would say blame is a tri-tone.
These two notes are locked into each other, grinding against
each other, and they want desperately to resolve into what
in musical parlance is called a perfect
5th. The
noteworthy (pun intended) aspect of this motion is that the
tri-tone (made up of literally 3 whole steps) changes into a
perfect 5th when
either of the notes moves away from the other
note.
Just like in the blame game, either partner (or note) can
move the situation into consonance by stepping back. And
that step need be only ? of a step. It takes far more
concentration for two musicians to sustain the relationship
of a tri-tone than a perfect 5th. When I ask groups to sing
opposing notes to each other, a tri-tone in veritably turns
into a perfect 5th. Sustaining the emotional and sonic
tension of a tri-tone for any length of time is just too
hard! Just like the interval of a tri-tone does not want to
remain static, the emotion of blame is not a static emotion
meant to be expressed in an ongoing manner.
Blame is an emotion created by the mind to help us
acknowledge tension in our life and at the same time
strongly desire to resolve it. Blame allows us to step back
from a situation and take the energetic focus off of
ourselves for a moment and place it on another person or a
government or a system or our pet goldfish.
As we deepen spiritually, blame is no longer a tool we need
to hold onto. Bit by bit we come to understand that (for the
most part) we choose to step into an uncomfortable
situation, and it is up to us to step out of that same
situation. The emotion we feel is part of our body and soul
telling our mind that the situation is not healthy and that
we must do something about it. In the past we have used
blame to dilute the intensity of our experience of emotions.
[As we mature, the actual emotions we feel change. And
so our need to use blame to release overly intense emotions
lessens.
For the past three weeks I have noticed when I overheard the
word "blame", or when I was tempted to use it myself. And
I've begun to wonder what would happen to American society
if blame didn't exist. For starters, reality television
would disappear. In particular, Donald Trump would be out of
a job! And most of the plot lines in other television shows
and movies would also cease to exist. Our society has woven
the constant thread of blame into its daily expression and
way of being. But I believe that blame is not meant to be an
ongoing adult expression. It is meant to be learning
tool.
Let's relate this to some current political and social
changes. The cultures in North Africa and the Middle East
are turning themselves inside out. The energy of blame is
part of this too. If blame is the only emotion behind a
revolution then no new and improved forms of governance will
emerge. Blame makes us look backward at what caused us to be
in a state of discomfort. But it will not help us see with
our spiritual eyes where it is that our soul's journey will
take us in the future. Only emotions of forgiveness,
charity, and compassion can do that. The same is true for
those protesting in the US or anywhere else.
So many members of our human family are in the throes of
uncomfortable and challenging changes. Their emotions of
fear and anger are suspended within the shared
unconsciousness of all of Humanity. This is bringing these
emotions front and center for all of us with human
bodies.
When we as humans are dealing with world-wide situations
that involve ongoing, long-term issues, it is very easy for
our physical bodies to also feel the emotional patterns that
are suspended within the shared consciousness of Humanity.
And that means any and every physical body can potentially
play a role in resolving our shared emotional patterns.
Here and now, there is an underlying tension within our
bodies relating to uprisings in the Middle East and North
Africa, as well as the global financial reconstruction.
Maybe there is a personal situation that has been on your
mind as you have read this. Know that the tension of the
situation can resolve from its current state of the blaming
tri-tone into balance.
Expressing ongoing blame to someone or something outside of
oneself gives your emotional energy away. This behavior
keeps you from using this same emotional energy to move into
resolution, and into the next expression of your soul's
journey. We can each choose to live in the energy of blame.
Or we can recognize it as an indicator of needful spiritual
growth.

NOTE ON WEEKEND PRACTITIONER'S TRAINING - BRIGHTON,
MICHIGAN JUNE 11-12
There have been many people inquiring about lodging possibilities, especially camping options. The lake home we are meeting in adjoins the Island Lake State Park. I have found a rustic cabin in the park within a short walk from where we are meeting that can accomodate everyone. There are no frills bunk beds with mattresses. I can arrange to supply towels and bed linens, blankets etc for those who are flying in. There is water from a pump, but no electricity or showers. You are welcome to charge your phones etc during the workshop hours at the lake house and swim there and at the state park. If you prefer hotels, there are several in town at about $100/day and they require a car or tramsportation arrangements. For those of you who want to search on your own, the house is located on Briggs Lake in Brighton, Michigan, zip code 48116. Please let me know if you want the cabin option. It will be about $50/person for 3 nights - Fri, Sat and Sun or less, depending on the number of nights and people. There may be some other options, such as staying with others who are also attending the workshop. If you live localy and would be able to host someone from out of town, please let me know.
Meditation
CD #28
from
February 6,
2011 Weaving
Soul Manifestation
is an energetic process within our throat
or 5th chakra working in tandem with our
navel chakra and knee chakras. The quality
at which our skin rubs against our
physical reality is largely determined by
our soul. Sometimes
it is our expectation that it will be
difficult to release something that
actually makes it difficult. Most of the
time, the old is really uncomfortable, and
we have simply grown used to the
discomfort. The more we let go, the more
ease we have in our lives. Spiritual
energetic waves are always coming towards
us. But the new can't arrive until we have
let go of the old. In the ocean of life,
you can't surf two waves at
once! What
if we were to shift healing and prayer
away from the idea of needing help and
giving help? What if we saw healing as
being a situation where a person's soul
and body are recognizing a potential for
strengthening their connection? Together
the soul and body have identified a weak
link that they are ready to change. It is
only the personality that is holding us
back from moving easily along that path of
change.

Do the forms you are currently
manifesting serve you? Does your life now
reflect what your soul desires to
manifest? What is the quality of ease that
your soul wants your body to have in your
life?
Most of us have accidentally created much
more friction in our lives than what our
soul means for us to experience. With this
meditation we help you find the quality of
ease that your soul means for your body to
have in your life now.
A Note on Phone Meditations and CDs of Meditations and
Teachings:
As of today, I have 28 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.
If you have to wear clothes...
why not wear something that reflects your inner attitude as well as your outer need?

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.
