1. Hello Sweetness
Hello Everyone!
Welcome to The Loving Energy Newsletter Dragon Issue #3. 3 is my birth month* so I would like to tell you about my birthday last month.
As usual, PhotoMan, my husband, asked me in advance what I would like to do for my birthday. After 22 years being together, he knows I am very specific and often unpredictable. And so, I told him everything that I wanted which he had the power to provide, should he decided to. Let me tell you the list and the lucky birthday outcome.
1. To buy a pair of slippers for him to wear at home, and for him to wear said slippers at home whenever he’s at home.
PhotoMan frequents the beach and his shoes, sandals and flip-flops spread sand and grit around our home. Whenever I asked him to get a pair of slippers to wear at home, he said ‘tomorrow’. Finally, we found a pair of surprisingly comfortable slippers for him at a Chinese shop. Now, whenever I see him wearing the slippers, which is around 80% of the time when he is at home, I feel all sweet like I’m getting another birthday treat.
2. Earrings or no earrings…
I finally got my ears pierced a couple of years ago. My earlobes were sensitive so on my birthday last year, PhotoMan took me to a jewellery shop and bought me a pair of gold earrings. I thought wouldn’t it be nice to get some more earrings on this birthday and then I dismissed my cliché idea. But then I thought I would love some earrings… I pictured myself going to the jewellery shop again with PhotoMan and thought… how dull. After oscillating for a while, I asked The Spirits to decide for me. Whatever happened would happen.
And it happened. At the Chinese shop cashier’s counter, rolls and rolls of earrings caught my eyes. They were so cute and so cheap! I chose a few pairs of star earrings because I am one myself.
‘Wouldn’t these cheap earrings cause you problems?’ PhotoMan asked.
Oh! How sweet of him to remember. The answer was ‘no’. You see, during the past years I figured out what emotions and past incidents triggered my sensitivity and now my ears are fine with any earrings. Well done me!
3. To have pretend Japanese dinner.
I say pretend because Greek people loves Greek food and so all foreign food here have more than a hint of Greek flavour. It’s okay because I love pretend Japanese food too!
The day before my birthday, I found out that the pretend Japanese restaurant I had my eye on was closed on my birthday which fell on a Monday. Ah well. Incidentally, my friend from Rethymno which is about an hour’s drive from me came by to have dinner with me. We ate at Peskesi Restaurant which features Cretan cuisine with ingredients from their own organic farm. Everything from the service, environment and the food was so good that I went back there with PhotoMan for my birthday dinner.
What I learnt was that even though it was my birthday and I got to choose whatever I wanted, it was a nicer choice to go to the Cretan restaurant because both PhotoMan and I enjoyed it. To dine at my choice would have been a win. To dine at our choice was a win-win.
4. Clean the floor please!
I asked PhotoMan to vacuum and mop the floor. And he did. It was so nice to have clean floor without any effort of mine. Who needs Spa or beach holiday when you have a sweet husband cleaning the floor.
5. To watch a movie with me.
What’s so special about that, I hear you say. Well, it’s very special at our household because PhotoMan doesn’t like movies. But he obliged because it was my birthday.
We watched a Polish movie because a friend recommended it. We enjoyed it because neither of us watched a Polish movie before. I double enjoyed it because it was over 2 hours long and with the late dinner, I fell asleep halfway so we continued watching it the next night, as if I had two birth nights. I didn’t care whether it was a good movie or not. I just wanted to do something simple that I like together, me, him, cat and dog, lying on the sofa bed all snuggled up.
In all, I had a sweet 48 and the sweetness continues to fill my home each day as PhotoMan enjoys his slippers and me the cleaner floor.
May your days be filled with sweetness, always!
Love,
Stephanie 石 The Loving Energy
* Chinese does not have names for months like in English. We call January 一月 one month, February 二月 two month, March 三月three month, and so on. The Chinese word for month, 月, also means moon because each Chinese month contains one moon phrase.
In the Blog article ‘I’ve lived 40 years‘, I talked about my 40th birthday and my birthday wishes. That was the first birthday I had since moving to Greece. A few people told me that they found this article a bit sad. Let me know what you think.
2. Beyond Quantum Healing – What do you want?
Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT) is a hypnosis method, created by the late Dolores Cannon, which can allow access to the clients’ higher-self and past-lives or other types of consciousness explorations. It involves guided visualization that induces a deep trance which is experienced every day by us – at the moments at which we become consciously awake and the moment just before we fall asleep.
Beyond Quantum Healing (BQH), founded by Candace Craw-Goldman, one of Dolores’ most trusted assistant, is an ever-evolving variation of QHHT. It allows the practitioners to use all their skills and learning, both from the method itself and through their own sturdies, to adjust to clients’ individual needs and comfort level. It can be both facilitated in person or online.
During this moon cycle (from now till the 7th of May, 2024), I’m offering BQH online sessions on a ‘pay what you want’ basis.
A BQH journey with me starts with a BQH – Let’s Chat! Session in which you can ask all the questions about BQH that you have so that you can find out if this is the right method for you. Apart from answering your questions, I will also start getting to know you, the reasons you want to have a BQH session and what you want to achieve through it. A BQH – Let’s Chat! Session is free and you can make an appointment through here.
I didn’t always know what I wanted. There was a time when I went along with everyone and tried to please everyone, but I would have denied that I wanted people to like me because that seemed so shallow. I also secretly wanted to look good but dismissed myself for being vain. Oh, and money, what an evil thing to want! It was so much easier to call myself a Creep like in the Radiohead song, shut myself out from the world, instead of acknowledging my desires and taking actions towards them.
Since then, I’ve learnt that it is perfectly fine to want to be liked. It is only detrimental if we trade our wellness or integrity for it. It is also fine to want to look good. The Greek statues are aesthetically pleasing, not for vanity but to remind us to live well, physically, emotionally and mentally, so well that it reflects even in our physical body. As for money, it is a basic element for comfort and stability, which all humans need.
Do you know what you want?
During the BQH Let’s Chat! Session, we talk about what you would like to achieve through having a BQH session. Some clients knew exactly what they wanted. Some didn’t. Some thought they knew but realized they wanted something else. Some people didn’t think they were allowed to want what they wanted. Whichever type you are, I look forward to having a chat with you.
If you sometimes feel like a creep, an outsider, that everyone is special except you, here’s a song for you. Creep by Radiohead. When I feel down, I like to do sing-along with songs like this one and I always feel so much better afterwards. By the way, you are not a creep and you are special.
3. Idle Word Idle Speech
The Thought of the Moon Cycle is 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech.
閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech refers to remarks or comments that are disapproving and unkind, that are personal opinions and not factual, that are usually spoken behind one’s back. For example, ‘She is too old to wear clothes like that.’ ‘She is so naïve to think that crystals have healing properties.’ ‘If she gets any fatter, no one would want to marry her.’ ‘ ‘They met in a bar. He’s just using her. Their relationship won’t last.’ ‘Her husband doesn’t like her performing as a belly dancer in restaurants. She should stop before he gets mad.’ ‘She thinks she’s so beautiful. Puke!’
閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech is like gossip but I like this Chinese idiom because of the word idle. Idle words and speech of idle people having nothing better to do than to gossip about others, and too idle to examine the facts or to be considerate of others’ feelings. The word ‘idle’ highlights the meaninglessness of these remarks or comments. It reminds us not to pay attention to them. However, whether we pay attention or not, 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech can seep into our subconscious.
The above examples were all directed at me at different stages of my life. Some were not 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech but spoken to me out of care. Unfortunately, they gave me nothing but hurts and doubts. My mind started making 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech in my head and I became the biggest word and speech idler of them all to myself!
Since recognizing how detrimental these 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech in my mind are, I started imagining a whistle going off in my mind and a referee giving a penalty red card to every 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech that pops in my mind to send it off.
During this Moon Cycle, observe if 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech appears in your mind. If it does, send it off with a whistle and a penalty red card, or whatever effective way that makes you smile.
In the Blog article Υπάρχει ένα Τέρας μέσα στον νου μου! There is a Monster in my mind!, I talked about a Monster that lives in my head but it is not all bad and it is up to me whether it hurts me or helps me. The text is in both Greek and English and I recorded the Greek version on YouTube because it is part of my Greek homework.
4. Sekhem Pyramid Transmission – Edition Sleep
When I was new to Sekhem, I had a practice client whom I suspected to have come primarily for a good sleep. No problem! We usually spend a small portion of the session to talk about the intention for the session and then I let the Sekhem healing energy to come through me to my clients who often fall into a deep sleep-like state.
Setting an intention is not always easy. At times because people are so used to thinking about what they don’t want. I don’t want to be angry all the time, I don’t want to feel stressed, I don’t want to be struggling, etc. It’s like I find you standing at a crossroad and I want to give you a lift in my car. Where do you want to go? Not there, and not there and not there. Where then?
This particular client knew what she wanted but there seemed to be no immediate solutions. We talked about her wishes anyway and we set the intention to help her have clarity because she was so tired and stressed out that she might not be able to recognize the solution when it came.
Solutions did come and they were way better than what she could have imagined. Things didn’t magically sort themselves out immediately after our sessions, but they did eventually. Turned out all she needed was to make the wishes and sleep on them. If you want to know the details of this story, click the image below to go to the Blog article ‘She comes back to sleep’.
It can be difficult to remain optimistic in the middle of a challenge. We can be like flailing our arms in the middle of the sea going nowhere and when we relax, we find that we can float and breathe. Can you remember a time when you felt hopeless and helpless, but now, looking back, it was the best thing that happened for you because it brought you to a whole new and much improved place after some perseverance?
Sekhem Pyramid Transmission started when an idea came to me to share Sekhem in a simple way. It is not how I normally facilitate a Sekhem treatment. What I do with Sekhem Pyramid Transmission is that I channel a certain amount of Sekhem energy for you. I also create a pyramid for you as sacred place, to be placed around you when you are receiving the transmission. My Divine Spirit Team fills the pyramid with elements and colours according to the moon cycle’s collective energy need.
You can receive this transmission at your convenience during this moon cycle. Here’s what you need to do in order to receive this transmission:
1. Get comfortable by either sitting with your back supported or lying down on your back for relaxation and circulation.
2. Give intention to the effect of ‘I would like to receive the Dragon Issue #3 Sekhem Pyramid Transmission now, to my highest good and will.’
3. Relax for about half an hour.
That’s it!
This time, my Divine Spirit Team filled the Pyramid with vibration of Blue Ocean, Dark Night Sky and Rainbow. Look up the properties of these items if you feel drawn to.
You may or may not feel anything. It’s fine! Having sensation is not a requirement. The only requirement is that you are willing to receive. Please remember to say ‘to my highest good and will’ so you know you are in control.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me here. I certainly would love to hear about your experience!
And if your friends would like to receive a monthly Sekhem Pyramid Transmission to accentuate their transformational process too, please pass on this link for them to sign up for my newsletter: https://page.co/pwremu
5. I appreciate my life. I love my life. I am grateful for my life.
The You Are Amazing Affirmation for this Moon Cycle is I appreciate my life. I love my life. I am grateful for my life.
Some years ago I realized that I did nothing on the day I was born. I didn’t reject all birthday celebrations from then, and for as long as there are people who want to indulge me on my very special day, I gladly obliged. What I started doing is that I make sure to call my mum on my birthday to wish her a happy birth-me-day.
I become emotional whenever I think about how my mum carried me for ten months in her tummy and how she endured so much pain just so I could have a birthday. I used to have suicidal thoughts and wished I was never born when the loneliness and despair engulfed me.
Now, when I think about how my mum took 10 months to prepare a gift for my birthday – the gift of life – I can no longer stay in that level of misery anymore. A bit shamefaced maybe, to not have recognized it sooner what a gift my life is. A gift that has lasted 48 years so far and is going to last a lot longer.
My mum is very happy whenever I call her to wish her happy birth-me-day. Every time, she said thank you good girl you remember your mother you have grown into a big girl.
That is not to say my mum didn’t cause some of the 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech in my head, or didn’t contribute to the depression I once had. I think the gift of life trumps whatever yucky stuff that she passed onto me. Anyway, I’m a grown up now and I can choose my thoughts. I choose to love and appreciate my life.
During this moon cycle, say I appreciate my life. I love my life. I am grateful of my life. daily and often and see how much brighter, lighter and sweeter your outlook to life becomes.
* The image below is the recipe for making Σαρανταβότανο, Forty-herb tea, which is a traditional Cretan tea made of 40 local herbs. It is a tea for drinking and in the old days, they bath new born babies in this tea for 40 days so that they would be infused with the aroma of their land. They also bathed sick people in this tea as a treatment. At Peskesi Restaurant they use this tea to soak disposable towels for their guests to clean their hands after the meal. My hands smelled heavenly afterwards.
In the Blog article ‘Is depression a “thing”?’, I talked about my own experience with depression.
In the Blog article ‘Steps to stay away from depression from depression’s point of view’, I talked about a consciousness exploration experience as depression itself, and from there, the steps I learnt that can help us stay away from it.
In the Blog article ‘Perfect Attendance‘, I talked about how the 閒言閒語 Idle Word Idle Speech in my mind caused me stress from cutting a yoga class, and how my mum’s jobs as a mentalist and a spy were instrumental to my programming.
We have reached the end of the Dragon Issue #3! The next issue will arrive at your mailbox on the 8th of May, 2024, (Thursday) which is the First Day of the fourth Month in the Chinese Calendar. Yes, the next New Moon day.
