we see something on a psychic or energy
level as being the color brown or black or
simply dark, it is a way that most of us
have of knowing that an energy is not in
tune with our body and is not healthy for
us to engage with. As it leaves, it need
not change color, because it is still not
good for you. We perceive it as a dark
color only because our own instincts know
that it is not healthy for us. Allow it
then to be whatever color that it is. You
do not need to change it. Let it be on its
own evolutionary journey. Let it choose
any changes for itself. And
that frees you up even more, because those
energies all around you that aren't in
tune with you anymore recognize that they
don't have to change before they can
leave. And you recognize that you don't
have to change them before they can leave.
It is not up to you to do anything with
them except recognize what is no longer in
tune with you and release it onto its own
journey. Attend

to canonize her). Look for her sainthood to be
announced this coming summer. If you are

UPCOMING
EVENT
As some of you know, I offer a free sound healing each month
for the online magazine SpiritofMaat.com There is a link to
it Here
so that you may listen directly. I also include links to
the sound healing and other free offerings after the essay
(see below). You can forward this to friends using the link
at the very bottom of this email. (Yes, very bottom, tiny
type, usually on the left)
This month's sound healing comes from my recent meditation
concert in Portland Oregon. 'Creatus', meaning 'having been
created' is the opening phrase. Mixing in the word
'Sanctus' (Sacred) and one of the names for the Divine
Feminine, 'Maria', was what felt right to me as I sang.
Like most inspired songs, Spirit suggested the words and
notes. I suspect that many of you reading this have had
similar experiences. Perhaps with music, or while writing
or journaling or knowing just what to say to someone during
a time of exquisite conversation.
As I reflect on the meaning of Latin word Creatus,
(having been created) I am reminded that no matter the
choices I might make, the results of any choice are neither
good nor bad. Each choice yields results that are part of a
larger divine plan that our soul has in mind to travel
within. The journey of our souls is more complex than we
might imagine with our little physical brain.
It is my brain that looks backward in time at what I have
created, and judges it as good or bad, right or wrong. My
heart is more apt to sense the past as an ongoing part of my
present. Hence the ongoing nature of creation, Creatus, is
more apt to be expressed in the Heart.
A friend recently asked me about the heart-centered world
into which many believe we are moving. The comment that one
of my guides made was to notice that people from the
developed or Western world are moving down from their heads
into their hearts. They have yet to reach anywhere near
their navel or body center. For this reason the journey
into the heart that many in the New Age movement anticipate
will bring something to completion may actually be the final
step. After the Heart, we Westerners will need to begin the
journey into the Body.
Many people joke about the practice of sitting in meditation
as being something akin to 'navel gazing'. My own sense is
that rather than looking down from our heads at our navels,
we need to know how to go down into the navel center itself,
and look out from there at our world.
I have come to this conclusion based on my own experience.
After moving more and more into my own heart, I began to
move further down, passing through my heart and into a space
that I feel is my navel chakra or body center. It is a
place of great stillness, where I can feel the slightest
motions of my body's natural functions as well as motions
from all that is around me. Yet at the same time I feel an
intense and utter stillness. From this place of deep
stillness all else seems a bit silly &endash; it's like
relaxing in the warm sunshine watching fruit flies swarm a
piece of fruit. You can enjoy your relaxation while the
incessant motions of the fruit flies remind you of how still
you are. What they are doing is harmless to you. While it
may be a lot of activity, they are simply doing what it is
that is within their nature to do. And you are choosing to
do something different.
That is not to imply that all I or you do outside of
meditation is equivalent to being a buzzing fruit fly! Day
to day life, represented by the fruit flies in my little
metaphor, is necessary to my continued physical body being
in form. I believe that when I access my body center or
navel in meditation it gives my personality a perspective
around the true balance of priorities that my soul has. I
do find that I can better choose and organize my activities
after a little navel meditation.
I realize for most people the idea that our soul or spirit
would speak to us through our body rather than our brain is
very odd. Our western culture has taught us to live in the
uppermost region of our body, basically the upper three
inches of our head, not in the remaining 60 or so inches
that tend to carry our head around.
Our western culture has also taught us to fear what we do
not know. And since few of us had parents who could set an
example of being fully embodied, it is not surprising that
we have an innate fear of delving into the unknown regions
beneath the level of our eyes and brain. In order to
identify where our navel is, most of us have to move our
hands down and touch it. Few of us simply feel and know its
location in our torso. This means that there is a great
learning curve ahead of us around how to connect our soul or
spirit into our own bodies.
Awareness of any body part by 'feeling' it from the inside
is an indicator of how strongly connected we are to the
consciousness that is related to that body part. Each and
every toe, finger, muscle, bone, tendon, organ, etc.
processes energetic patterns for us. Illness is merely a
sign that the spiritual, mental and emotional levels of our
aura were unsuccessful in processing a pattern. In order to
bring it more fully to our attention the pattern naturally
moved into the etheric level of our aura, which is the blue
print for our physical body.
Healing the physical issue then becomes a matter of
addressing the issue at all the levels through which the
pattern has come. For this reason when issues have reached
the physical level I often suggest that people consult
physical doctors such as Naturopaths, Chiropractors and
Acupuncturists. These modalities understand that health is
a result of balance, and illness is a result of imbalance.
Once balance is restored, the body's own systems will
restore the physical body.
In my own energetic healing work, I find that the
information I get for people is usually right on the edge of
what they already know or suspect. In some cases their
guides simply point out to me certain moments in their lives
that are inter-related and magnifying a current emotional or
physical symptom of illness. Sometimes it is also about
what I call "upgrading" a belief.
I find that we are all pretty good at healing ourselves.
But it is hard to find that deep place of stillness where
you can feel all that is in motion around you when you are
overwhelmed by fatigue, anxiety, physical pain or chatter in
the mind. It just helps to have someone outside of yourself
point out what they are able to see, so you can see it more
clearly.
There are certainly different styles of healing, and for me
I prefer to help people see for themselves what it is that
they are ready to change, and hold space for that change to
occur. As I spend more and more time within the deep
stillness of my own body, I feel the great potential each of
us has to access this same space of spiritual connection
inside of our own bodies.
Ultimately, I might say that I have less interest in trying
to organize how the fruit flies buzz around the fruit and
more curiosity about why I left the fruit out for them to
buzz around. An odd metaphor, but the closest I can get to
my experience of this moment.
So, back to the sound healing. When my guides gave me the
idea of using the word "Creatus" I was wondering why not use
the more common word "Creator". As I have sat with this
question, a small but important difference has become clear
to me. Creatus implies that we have already created that
which is perfect for us. There is an indication of a
creative process from the past that we are standing upon in
the present. This sense of continuality reminds us of our
inner sense of stability. And this brings me back to the
motionless depth of spirit I find within my own body. This,
to me, is a point of creation that each person will learn
about in their own time.
My best to each of you.

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 32 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.

why not wear something that reflects your inner attitude as well as your outer need?

(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.
