Messages From the Universe OR Is There a Divine Power?

Have you ever felt like your prayers are not being answered?

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you ‘talk to the universe’, pray, lament, beg or ask that no one is hearing you?

I’ve felt this way before.  There were times I felt like no one was listening and no one was certainly stepping up to help me.

I’m not a patient woman.  There, I’ve owned it.  Those of you who know me, are probably laughing right now and thinking, “That’s an understatement if I ever heard one.”

The funny thing is I’m much better than I used to be!  This is something I’ve worked on for years.  And I AM much better.

Anyway, one day after ‘talking to the Universe’ (my version of praying) for a long time about something really important, I lost my cool.  I was outside and alone.  A good time for a rant in my opinion.  So, I had my rant with the universe.  I questioned everything … including hearing (as in CAN YOU HEAR ME?), judgment, stinginess, extravagant measures for mean people, hurting people with deaths and illnesses that looked and felt wrong…

After I let it all out, I was ready to listen.  So I found a big rock, a peaceful spot and opened my heart.  I really wanted some answers.  People want to believe.  They just need encouragement.

A Quiet Spot, Reflection, Going with the Flow

My conversation with the Universe went something like this …

“Universe, I know that you exist.  I believe there is a power of Divine Being in the Universe that is the Creator.  I’ll just call you Universe and let go of all religious dogma around that.  

I believe that you are benevolent.  I believe there is a Divine Plan.  I’d just like to get a clue as to what it is for me!

So, if you could give me my messages in threes during the course of one day, then I would know that you are actually answering my prayers.  After all, if it is ‘3 times for the normal mind’ and I’m human with a brain, it seems like a logical request.

For clarity, please give me my messages from the Universe in threes (3s) during the course of one day.  The how of those messages is not up to me.  My job is to recognize that I’ve seen/heard/tasted/touched that message three times today.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

It was funny.  I felt like I had set something important in motion.

Little did I know.  A few hours later, I had my first message from the Universe … in threes!  I had asked for guidance on a specific issue.  I heard something on the radio, just 3 words … “go get it”.  I don’t even know what the rest of that message was.  I just heard that part.  Then about 20 minutes later, I saw a sign outside a store with an arrow that said “go get it”.  Now I’m thinking I just heard that on the radio.  I parked my car and was heading inside a building and a woman walked by me with a child and said, “As soon as we get home, you need to just GO GET IT.”

It stopped me cold.  I had just heard that phrase GO GET IT three times in the space of an hour.  Tears started rolling down my face.  I was shocked.  I was filled with gratitude.  The Universe DID answer my requests…and quickly.  I wasn’t listening in the right way.  The answer to my question (prayer) was GO GET IT.  Undeniable and clear!  It completely rocked my world!  I was filled with joy and gratitude.

I think that is the important part.  How are you listening to the Universe (God) in your life?

Have you used a method like this in the past to hear your messages?

Can you share an example?

Or, are you like I used to be?  Do you think that there is no one or no thing out there?  No God?  No benevolent being?  No Master/Mistress of the Universe?  No Lord/Lady of Love?

I invite you to try my method.  If you do, all I ask is that you leave a comment and let me know what your experience was with this.

Remember the message can be from anywhere – radio, TV, print, a sign (really) a piece of a conversation you hear – and usually from a place you least expect it.  If a universal being wanted to speak with you, it would have to use whatever method of sound or print to get your attention that it could.

I can’t wait to hear all about it.

What Just Happened? Good or Bad? Neutral?

The other day we had a break in the frigid temperatures, and I took a walk downtown Littleton.  It’s just about a mile each way and I needed some fresh air.

 

I was starting to feel like a hermit!

 

About 5 minutes into my walk, I started questioning my judgment as the sidewalks weren’t shoveled and the roads were pretty slushy.  It was not easy walking.

 

Then I saw this:

In the Pink!!

 

Seeing this in the middle of snow and slush reminded me that what is happening around us is temporary.  It’s in the moment and has the capacity to change … in the NEXT moment!

 

I think we lose sight of that when our immediate circumstances are upsetting or dis-empowering (in our mind).  I say that because honestly the circumstances or events are just that.  It is our interpretation of them that effects us on an emotional level, and either creates the drama or fear, or happiness.

 

When circumstances happen around me that could be perceived in a ‘bad’ way … like getting fired, being in an accident, getting a huge bill, someone gets sick, etc…

I intentionally move ahead in time.  Yup, you heard me right.  That is one of the times when I leave the present moment and move ahead on my personal timeline to a future moment.  Specifically 6 months ahead of this event.

 

Why?

 

Because I realize from the past when something appears to be bad it usually isn’t.  If you go ahead 6 months in your life, you would be looking back and saying, “What a blessing this was!”  If that incident didn’t happen, I would not have been available for this … or I would not have been able to do this … or I would not have met ‘so and so’…

 

Then, I make a conscious decision to not judge this event as BAD and to just sit with it.  Not as easy as you might think to enter a space of ‘no mind’.  At first, I couldn’t get to a place of blessing either.  So, I worked on no mind.  No thoughts about this as good or bad.  It just IS.  I remove the energy associated with this event.  Other people’s emotional energy or my own has to go.  Neutral.  No thoughts.  No reactions.  No fears.

 

Once you get to this spot, then the next step is the blessing part.  That might take a little more work on your part.  It did for me.

 

Just remember, this too shall pass.  Spring is around the corner.  You are the manifestor of your world.  Thoughts become things!  Choose wisely.

Creative Expression – Journal

I encourage you to be creative in your expression.  Whether that’s verbal, print, art or the written word.  Here is a sample of how I journal.

I started doing this 16 years ago.  I realized I could use the colors to express my emotional status when journaling.  I could have fun with what I was writing.  It seemed to more accurately reflect what I was feeling in my writing and the thoughts I was expressing.

WHOLE-NESS of Being

Hey All,

Nasiri, 2017

I thought I’d take a minute today to let you in on a little secret.  Sounds Like Health is NOT just about sound instruments and tools for health and well-being.

 

I believe in the WHOLE-ness of a person.  That includes body, spirit, energy, mental status and well-being in general.  It also includes being attuned to your physical environment and how that might be affecting you on a personal level.

 

Because this is my philosophy, you will see posts from me that include everything from sound instruments and healing techniques to poetry.  I include some astrological and numerology information to include the cosmos as that definitely effects our day to day lives.

 

Think for a minute about the moon cycles and the tides.  Everyone knows that on the full moon the tides are higher than other times of the month.  Why is that?  Because the moon is closer and the electromagnetic effect is pulling the water out in a bulge towards the direction of the moon.

 

How does this relate to you?  Seriously??

 

Women get monthly menstrual periods and the full moon can and will affect that.  You might notice a heavier flow.  You might notice that ‘bulge’ in your lower abdomen in the form on water weight gain.  You might notice a rhythm to your cramping.

 

You can suffer in silence.  Ya right!  We ARE women correct?  Or you can do some things to help yourself.  You might take a pain reliever for the cramping and bloating.  You might use a heating pad on your belly.  You might lay down.  You could take an Epsom Salt bath with some essential oils to help you relax and de-stress.

 

And contrary to popular belief, the moon cycles affect the men and children in our lives too.  It affects your mood.  Have you noticed people acting crazy at the full moon?  Have you noticed shorter tempers or more acting out?

 

So what can we do with sound to help?

 

You can HUM!  Do you remember as children we were always making sounds?  Listen to your own children and you will see that they are rarely quiet.  They are laughing, chattering away, singing or humming.

 

When you were a child you hummed.  It is one of the easiest ways to balance your entire system and you can do it anywhere without tools.  Your voice is your tool.  Your body is your speaker or resonator.  Take a minute with me right now and hum.  You can hum with your mood – happy or sad.

 

The benefits of humming are HUGE!  It helps to balance and align the bodies (all of them).  It helps you to feel good.  It vibrates your internal bodies (big and small) and releases stagnation.  It can change your mood.

 

You can do it in public.  Others might join you in humming.  You can go incognito with humming and do it softly so no one notices.  Or you can loudly hum to invite others to join you.  You can hum a known tune or make one up.  You can be creative with your humming!

 

I will always try to include something that relates what I’m sharing back to sound and well-being or WHOLE-ness of being.  But that might not always be the case.  Sometimes I might just put a poem that I wrote up for you to share in that experience with me.

 

I will definitely continue to share and hopefully some of that will be helpful to you.

 

Maybe it might even invite you to share some of the things that you don’t often share with others too.

 

Thanks for being with me today.  I’ll post a humming video shortly.

 

Blessings on your head…

Nasiri

 

 

If I Were Happy …

If I were happy …

 

My wild peals of laughter would bring a smile to the face of all within hearing distance …

… unhindered teeth … flashing smiles.

 

My heart would and will wake with a song …

No matter the weather –

The location –

the economic climate –

who is beside me …

 

My eyes will magically be drawn to smiles – like magnets –

 

My ears will magically attune to GIGGLES, CHUCKLES, GUFFAWS, and HEE HEEs and HAA HAAs.

 

Is that sound waves crashing on a shore??

 

NO WONDER!

Happy New Year

I for one am not sorry to see 2016 fall away!  It was NOT a good year for me in so many ways.  And it was an AMAZING year for me in so many other ways.  Most people I’ve talked to feel the same way.

 

I connected with a friend recently who said she was having the absolute worst time of her life!

 

I’m sure a statement like that is not easy for someone to make.  It wasn’t easy for me to say what I said either.

 

I think that is a subsconscious cry for help.  I’m excited when I think about that.  I know you might think I’m crazy right now… but stick with me for a minute.

 

Doesn’t that mean that we are coming out of our silos of individuality and asking for help when we need it?

 

How long have we kept our challenges and difficulties a secret from our families or those that we love and love us?  It might have come from a desire to ‘save’ them from worrying about us.  It might have come from the place that they can’t do anything to help us and they’ll want to.

 

(although I don’t think that is really it.)  If we know anything it is that our loved ones really DO love us and will help us if they can.  Too often our own judgments about what that might look like stop us from asking for help.

 

OUR OWN JUDGMENTS!!

 

When people ask me how I am, I’m going to tell them the ‘uncanned, unedited version’ of how I’m doing.  (HA, HA)  They might get more than what they asked for, but if anyone wants to offer a hand, they will be able to do so.

 

I read an article about resolutions vs. intentions or themes for the coming year.  I made a .pdf of mine and it is attached here for you to witness.

2017 book

 

It feels good to me.  I’ve already started to focus on being happy for a time every day.  I like journaling with colored markers so I’m doing that.  I’m a poet and I’ve posted a poem that I wrote New Year’s Day.  I’ll be posting more of them.  I also like the audio of my poems as then you get the rhythm and sound of the energy of the poem.  You’ll have to let me know what you think.

 

For folks who don’t know numerology, a 1 universal year is arrived at like this…

2017 = 2+0+1+7=10=1

Some of my favorite websites for numerology and astrology are:

www.numerologist.com and www.karisamuels.com

 

Let me know what you think?

2017 = A New Year

As the New Year approaches, how do you prepare?  Do you?

 

Are you one of those folks who just plan what you are going to wear or do to celebrate the changing from one year to the next?

 

Are you one of those folks who can’t be bothered with all the hoopla … stay home and have a quiet night with loved ones?

 

Do you do what I did when my kids were small and plan an event with them like dinner out, zoo lights and banging pots and pans when the ball drops at midnight?

 

Whatever your traditions are and whatever way you decide to bring in this ‘new’ universal one year, I wish you the best.  It is truly a new beginning and the energies are aligning to support you in moving forward and creating in a new and conscious way.

 

I encourage you to learn from this past election.  Try to be truthful in all you say and do.  Treat others with kindness and respect.  Be open to the unusual and synchronistic events that show up in your life.  Embrace the unknown with a sense of adventure and curiosity.

 

Follow the ‘golden rule’ and treat others as you want to be treated.  Remember the laws of Karma.  It is a good rule to live by.  Try to give more.  Try to receive more.  Try to love more.  Try to be lovable.

 

When life hands you lemons (and it will) take the time to make lemonade!   Might you take a moment to let go of drama?  Maybe you want to create space for more peace and relaxation?

 

If something that appears to be bad happens to you, could you not judge it as bad?  Maybe try to skip ahead 6 months to when you will look back on those events and say, “What a blessing that was and I didn’t even know it at the time.”

 

Receive the blessing in the moment of creation.  Know that you are loved and cared for and there is no way you could ever know the full extent of what that looks like every moment.

 

So don’t judge.  Trust.  Be present.  Embrace happiness and try to have fun with it.  That’s what I’m going to do.

 

See you on the flip side!

Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and Abundant New Year filled with Love, Light, Blessings and Sound!

Bringing 2016 to a Close and Celebrating New Moon, 12-28-16

As we are in the final days of 2016, I invite you to create some space to review the past year, if you haven’t already done so.

 

Typically, I do this by creating some time and space to honor:
– who I was this past year,
– the lessons I learned,
– to honor the things I willingly or grudgingly released,
– and to celebrate the magic and successes!

 

You might be wondering why? Because it is the best way I know to move forward for the next year. If I’m still stuck on something in 2016, how can I creatively move forward in 2017?

 

The new moon in Capricorn (today) is about business and finance! I think that is perfect timing to think about 2017. If you have your own business, what do you want to manifest this coming year? 2017 is a universal 1 year, new beginnings and also the first year of the next 9 year cycle.

 

If you work for someone else, you can still set your goals for this coming year at your job. Where do you want to be by the end of the year? What kind of things do you want to be recognized for this year? What do you want to remember as your greatest accomplishment or success?

 

In my life coaching business, I would be asking you for specific information about what you want to manifest … a timeline, as many details as you can imagine. I prefer to do this by using my imagination and visualizing an amazing year for myself and what that looks like for me.  I would usually start at the end of the year and what was I reflecting on as my successes.

 

Then, I’ll pick up a pen and put it into form by writing it out. Then I might add it on my calendar with ‘to do’ dates to accomplish the things that I ‘saw’.

 

This will help to keep you on track and moving forward. Do yourself a favor… pick 3 things to accomplish. If you do a whole list, you might get overwhelmed. If you pick three things and give yourself a reasonable amount of time to accomplish them you have a much better chance of success.

 

The other thing I want to ask you to do is to take time to relax.  Right now, before the end of the year.  Slow down physically, mentally and energetically.  Mercury is still retrograde, so double check your work.  Take a break.  Take a nap.  Review written communication.  Finish old projects.  Say goodbye to those people, places, and things that have completed their cycle with you.

 

An amethyst will help your mental and emotional clarity.

 

Wishing you a successful year in review and an amazing New Moon Intention Manifesting Moment!!!

The Gong Show!!

The Gong Show

Have you ever driven by a store and had the thought, “I need to stop in there.”?

 

Well, there is this one place, EurAsian Interiors on Broadway in Denver, CO that I happened to drive by frequently over the last 3 years.  Every time I saw it, I had the thought I’d like to go in there and look around.

 

Never happened.

 

Three days ago, I was driving past it again headed home.  I heard the voice in my head (you KNOW the one I’m talking about!) say quite loudly…Time to STOP and check it out.

 

I tend to pay attention to that voice.  So I turned around and went back.  When I tried to go in the door stuck.  I thought it might not be open, but pushed harder and it did.

 

It was like stepping back in time to Europe/Asia or transporting there immediately.  The shop was filled with treasures.

 

I walked around for a bit and spotted this gong.  It’s from Beijing China.  I asked a salesperson, who was present but not pushy, if I could play it.  She said sure.

 

When I picked up the mallet to see what kind of sound we could make together, I heard a male voice in the background (behind a screen) say, “Sure, go ahead and bang on it.  I do.”  I replied that I was a sound healer and it might be a different experience.

 

As I began tapping the gong with the mallet there was a multitude of tones that started to make themselves known.  The sound was enticing and inviting and captivating.  My breath became easier and I immediately knew that I was there for this gong.

 

I asked if they had others…  NO …

 

I checked the price and had the thought, “anything is possible.”

 

So I went in search of the male voice behind the screen and found the owner, Rusty.  He agreed that no one had played the gong quite the way I had before and was intrigued by what I do.

 

We talked for a bit and I asked the question, “What is the lowest price you’ll take for the gong?”  He said he had to think about it a bit and crunch some numbers.

 

I went looking around the rest of the shop and thought to myself, “What is the highest price I will pay for the gong?”  An immediate number came to mind.

 

About 10 minutes later the owner came over and named his price.   You probably guessed it by now.  It was the exact number that came to my mind before.

 

I couldn’t have planned this stuff!  The Universe definitely had a hand in this gong coming to live with me and be a part of my sound tool family.

 

I made arrangements to pick it up the next day.  When I got home I grabbed someone walking by to help me get it in the house.  I did a clearing on the gong and moved other sound tools around it to energetically attune them before making and sounds.

 

Here is the gong in HER new home.  Definitely feminine!  Definitely happy!  Unbelievable full spectrum sounds.

 

Stay tuned for a gong bath sound healing video for the holidays ….
