Hi All,
I am simplifying my electronic life so I have decided to close down all the bits and pieces, making one name for my web page blog and face book. Healings With Spirit will be my new go to place. I will blog have guest bloggers and more as well as my healing offerings.
I am focusing on my writing, healing and work with animals, and will take bookings for intuitive readings and distance Reiki, as well as travelling locally.
I hope to see you all at my new page.
Blessed Be
Sherry

2016 in Action
I have spent a good part of the final days of 2015 trying to make a plan for 2016. I guess time will tell if I am able to put these in action. Action being the key to my year. I have spent the last few years in a very introspective state, this was necessary for me to heal and become who I am today. I love my internal musings and where they lead me. However at some point they start to feel redundant. So this year for me is about taking my knowledge of how I tick and doing. Doing in a loving and forgiving manner as I know this is super scary for me. My safe place is nestled in my mind and home where nothing bad can affect me. Going out and trying new things meeting new people is terrifying for me. But I have a few very specific goals that I am taking mini steps to achieve and so far its going ok.
One of these is deciding that my writing is for me, I have lots of stories in my mind and eventually they may find there way to paper but first and foremost writing is my way of formulating my thoughts and a reflection of what I am feeling. Some of this I will share with you all and some is not ready for the light of day. This realization has removed some of the fear that was rearing up around my writing and that makes me happy. I will continue to blog as I am drawn, some like this will be updates as to the state of my mind, others will be thoughts that I want to share and open up for others to discuss. I refuse to put myself down to a schedule on this as I don't want to let anyone, (especially myself) down.
The other thing that has become apparent to me in my introspection is that relationships are very important, both those in the physical and the ones I have developed via the net. So I will continue to break out of my fear and reach out to those that I connect with and I ask that you all do the same. If 2016 has shown us anything in these first few weeks is that our time here is fleeting. Don't let it pass you by, reach out to those you want to be in your life and don't let the naysayers hold you down.

FEAR
Fear
Fear; you know the insidious one that seeps into our soul, a
dark demon that wears the face of sanity and has the voice of reason. It has the power to destroy a dream before
its first breath. But you don’t have to
listen to it you can look fear in the eye and stand strong in your crazy
dreams, your wild and free heart. You can
do the impossible. It’s not necessary to
vanquish fear, only to put it in perspective.
What happens if you try?
What is the worse outcome?
So we don’t get what we wanted, but what happens if we
listen to the calm controlling voice naysaying our dreams?
We don’t get what we want, right?
The worse thing that can happen is the same as not trying at
all. On the other hand if we try, there are
the unknown possibilities of success just waiting there and if it doesn’t happen
we have had the privilege of learning lessons along the way.
So don’t give up on your dreams for the ordinary pale normal
life. Dig deep face that fear and spread
your wings, the time has come for you to burst forth spreading your special
light for everyone to see.
Take the chance, truly LIVE.

Colour me true!!!
There was an article shared in (Kate Spencer's Light workers Group) on Chakra's and why they are associated with certain colours that piqued my interest. It talked of rainbows and frequencies, so I thought I would investigate and see what I could add. Well in true Sherry fashion nothing ever comes out as I think it should and this has taken me down a journey of colour, crystals and the inner workings of the soul. Well my soul anyway.
As it turns out I am also working on colour energies, crystals and their connections in another group (Kristi Hugs' Lotus Moon Crystals) and it has rekindled a passion for colour and numerology that I| had as a teen. I could write for days on this subject and will most likely revisit as more stuff comes up, but I am trying to stick to the topic today. To help me out with the why we associate colours with Chakras I have enlisted a few of my favourite crystals that wanted to come out and play. As a side note, this is from my soul and what these mean to me. No books or websites have been researched other then those in my past works.
This is what colour and the Chakra systems mean to me, today.
Chakra 1 is the Root Chakra sometimes known as the Base Chakra. It is located at the base of the spine and is our connection to the past. This is the foundation of who we are, the tribal energy that connects us to family, ancestors and the earth the colour usually referenced is Red. The crystals commonly shown are red jasper, carnelian, garnet, and dark earthy ones like brown tourmaline. Today I was drawn to a red jasper. As I sit with it in my hands, my hands in my lap, ruminating on what this colour means to me, I am struck by the raw sense of passion and power it represents. Primitive and wild, organic and real, like the life blood we all share.
I really don't know why history has chosen the colour red for the Root Chakra but I know that it resonates with me at a frequency, like Maslow's triangle of survival at its most base instance. Food, Shelter, Safety these are the priorities at this point in our development. Red is a primary colour and we can not exist without these primary needs being met. So often we try to build to the next level before we accomplish this and then things fall apart. How can we look for healthy relationships around us if we are struggling to survive.
Chakra 2 is the Sacral Chakra. It is located in the pelvic area and is associated with the colour Orange. Crystals that are connected here are orange calcite, carnelian, amber, jasper. Any orange version of a crystal, today I chose another piece of Jasper this one dark orange. The fact that my stones for the Root and the Sacral are very similar was not lost on me. Just as the connection between the Root and the Sacral Chakra are connected. we build off the development of one into the next. As our survival needs are met we start to look to relationships. Here is where the Sacral Chakra takes us. Connections, a need to be with others, sexual relationships, puberty. If we haven't met the need in the Root Chakra and start trying to build a relationship through the Sacral Chakra it is easy to see where things can fall apart. However that is not the point of this journey, today I am seeking answers to why orange.
When I think on orange, I get a picture of the fruit, the nourishment and juice that it brings forth. Like a relationship it supplies what we need to grow and develop. Combined the flow to the Third Chakra the Solar Plexus it merges the colours Red and Yellow. A blend showing us again the need to connect and merge ourselves with others. Once again we feel the relationships are in the middle of ourselves and our basic needs. Keeping this space healthy can be one of the most challenging areas of our lives.
Chakra 3 is the Solar Plexus Chakra, like its name it is represented by the colour of the sun, yellow. As I write this the sun is streaming in my window, the leaves out side are a bright yellow and I have yellow gourds in a basket on the table. The crystal I was drawn to is Citrine, but Yellow Calcite, Yellow Jasper and Amber are all great stones to work with. Another favourite that can connect with either the Solar Plexus or the Sacral Chakra is Sunstone.
As I pick up my of Citrine I am struck by the warmth it conveys, yes its sitting in the sun but there is so much more then that. A true sense of joy and completion fills me. Here I AM the stones says to me, just as I AM here as well. This Chakra is about personal power. About who we really are when we step into ourselves. If you want to have a healthy relationship this is the place to start.
Yellow seems to really suit this Chakra, the colour is connected with the sun the ultimate source of power. It is also a primary colour which again goes nicely with the energy of this Chakra, our sense of self is a major portion of our growth and development.
Chakra 4 is the Heart Chakra, the colour connected here is unique as it actually has two colours, green and pink, I feel this is due to the nature of Heart energy. On one hand we have pink the colour of unconditional love, yet the heart is so much more. Its about growth, self love, and acceptance. Here we really start to develop skills that lead us to our paths. We nurture ourselves and those we love, this is where green comes into play.
The stone I chose for today is Ruby in Fuchsite, the redish/pink blended in the light sparkly green really spoke to me. Common crystals used here are Rose Quartz and Green Aventurine. A blending of energies around growth and love, the place where we merge the lower Chakras and the upper. Here we need to reach an understanding of who we are and why we love as we do. This is the centre, the place that everything we do starts to matter at a whole new level. Colour wise green is the blend of yellow and blue, (the next Chakra)
Chakra 5 is the Throat Chakra and is associated with the colour blue. I have chosen Blue Lace Agate for today. The Throat Chakra is where our sense of expression comes from. Our voice of truth, where we tell the world what we feel and how we are. Vibrationally this is the Chakra that we can physically feel the vibrations as our sounds pass through our vocal chords. To me it is the most physically connected of the Chakras, when it is out of alignment we can fell and hear it in our voice and throat.
So why blue? Blue is again a primary colour, one that is associated with emotion and creativity. Much of our world is made up of this colour, the sky above the waters of the sea. In fact from space our entire world looks blue. To me the throat is associated with blue because this is the Chakra that; reaches out to powers that be in Prayer, it is the way we show our love of family, the way we let the world know who we truly are.
Chakra 6 the Third Eye Chakra also known as the Brow Chakra. The colour here is Indigo, I see is as a deep almost purple black blue. The stone I have chosen is called Pietersite. The dark blue version. Its colours swirl together like I imagine the dark mists of a crystal ball. Fitting as this is the Chakra of psychic gifts. Seeing beyond this world to other dimensions and times. It is often associated with dark purple and dark blue crystals. To me it is the gate way to what lies unseen and waiting for us to discover the mysteries of the world.
Chakra 7 is the Crown Chakra, it colour is white but more of a bright silver lavender hue. This Chakra connects us to the Divine. I chose an Amethyst point, almost clear at one end and pales of purples at the other. For me this is always the crystal I use for Crown work as it is a bridge from the unseen of the Third Eye Chakra to the all knowing of the Divine. This Chakra is the culmination of all that is and all that ever will be. So it is fitting that it is White the colour of all the spectrums combined.
As I write this our I realize this is a completely inadequate way to share what I feel as I work through each Chakra. I would like to take the time to visit each on its own for a much longer period of time. So perhaps in the future I will share that journey with you all, however; I invite anyone who is seeking to know themselves better to take the time and see what you feel each Chakra represents and what colours best correspond to your Chakra system. There is tons of information available to show you what others have found, but the real work and success is diving into your own energy system and mining out the information relevant to you.
Blessed be

Quick Update
First off I would like to apologize, I had no idea it had really been this long since I posted here.
So just to catch up; my Mom had surgery at the beginning of July, I went with her to Kamloops some 8 hours south of home and what was supposed to be a week turned into a month. In the mean time my lovely daughter and my Love packed up the house and moved us to Prince George. This puts us much closer to Mom and Dad, in the same town as Gord's 4 kids and all the grandbabies. Savannah started University here in September as well. After a month with Mom in Kamloops she came home with me so I could help her as she recovered. Now several months later things are starting settle down. I am writing again, almost unpacked and starting to get organized for winter.
There was a post in a Facebook group that intrigued me on Chakras and why we associate certain colours with them so I am going to tackle a blog on it.
Stay tuned it won't be long coming.

Love is....
As I sit here in the early morning hours listening to the soothing sounds of Reiki music, watching the Spring rain wash away the dust off the dried grass that has emerged from under the snow pack, I am in awe of the feelings that my heart produces. I feel so alive, so vulnerable, so present it almost takes my breath away. It certainly brings tears to my eyes and soft smile of delight to my face. Why am I feeling this way, you ask?
Well I woke up. That is the best reason to be grateful. I am on day three of Reiki transformation program that came into my life at the perfect time. I am deeply submersed into an Energy Program with some amazing women, and I have such an incredible group of people from all walks of life around me that I stop and stare in surprise periodically.
I could write pages on why I am grateful and why I am happy, but the important reason I am sharing this with you is, it doesn't matter why I am happy only that I am. I made some simple conscious choices to live a new story where love was the answer to all questions. Where I took time to be present and enjoy and love my life. My morning coffee, my dog, the rain, I am consciously sending and receiving love at a level I never understood in the past.
My wish for the World, but most especially for my children is to find this Peace this Joy and Love. Yes I am human and I will fall in to moments of fear and despair, but now that I know Love is right there waiting for me to open my heart, I know I can turn it around.
I AM Loving and Loved
Thank you Universe for I am grateful for this moment, perfect in all ways for me and exactly what and when I need it.
Blessed Be

Back in the Saddle again
Welcome everyone, I feel like its been ages since I have sat down to share my thoughts with you all. Hence the title of this Blog. Yet in a very real sense I am back in the saddle again, I am riding daily in preparation for my first barrel race of the season in May. I am working on my Crafts for a Spiritual Fair on May 2nd and 3rd followed by a women's celebration over Mother's day. I start an Online Transformational Reiki Practitioner group this morning working with an amazing Reiki Master and Goddess Priestess Karen Neuls, and I am hip deep in a great Energy Program with the super inspirational and talented Kate Spencer. Life is charging forward and I am ready to reach out and touch the stars.
The last few months I took some quiet meditative time to reflect on what was working for me and what wasn't. Something I highly recommend for all of us. Now Spring is here the green grass is just starting to show and soon camping season will begin and I can get back out doors in Mother Nature where all is right in the world. I hope to be back here daily as part of my Reiki course to share with you the inspirations I have as connect with my inner energy and my journey continues, but for now life is calling and it's hungry. Have a blessed day.
