Today I would love to share valuable information found in this amazing book. You see, my life has changed since I learned that all dis-ease is energy that is being held in the body in an unhealthy manner. Last week my uncle had a heart attack. I know our family has had a lot of loss with my grandpa's passing 8 years ago. He is missed so deeply by all of us. I know that grief held in the body makes us heart sick. Let's start at the beginning. Source from Wikipedia. Definition: The heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, as well as assists in the removal of metabolic wastes. The heart is located in the middle compartment of the chest. Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow stops to a part of the heart causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Often it is in the center or left side of the chest and lasts for more than a few minutes. The discomfort may occasionally feel like heartburn. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, nausea, feeling faint, a cold sweat, or feeling tired. About 30% of people have atypical symptoms, with women more likely than men to present atypically. Among those over 75 years old, about 5% have had an MI with little or no history of symptoms.[4] An MI may cause heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, or cardiac arrest. Most MIs occur due to coronary artery disease. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, lack of exercise, obesity, high blood cholesterol, poor diet, and excessive alcohol intake, among others. The mechanism of an MI often involves the complete blockage of a coronary artery caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. MIs are less commonly caused by coronary artery spasms, which may be due to cocaine, significant emotional stress, and extreme cold, among others.[ A number of tests are useful to help with diagnosis, including electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood tests, and coronary angiography. An ECG may confirm an ST elevation MI if ST elevation is present.[2] Commonly used blood tests include troponin and less often creatine kinase MB. Diagram of a myocardial infarction (2) of the anterior wall of the heart after blockage (1) of a branch of the left coronary artery (LCA). In the diagram, RCA is the right coronary artery. (source: Wikipedia) My uncle had one artery clogged at 95%. He was fortunate that they were able to treat him by putting a stent in. He is also now on medication. We are counting the blessings that this was God's whisper to him to make some changes. The heart is a part of the circulatory system whose function is to carry nutrition and oxygen to every system of the body through a complex network of blood vessels. The circulatory system begins to break down when you hold on to anger, fear, self loathing, criticism, disappointment, heartbreak or a loss of confidence. It is really important to practice how to give and receive love. According to Inna's book, heart attack, emotions behind the disease are these. Stubbornness, stress, inflexibility, obnoxious attitude, a "my way or the highway" approach to life. Selfish, ignorant, controlling. Too focussed on money, achievement, and winning. Neglect of your health and family. Suppression, envy, hardness. Needing to be right. Feeling unloved, easily hurt, holding on to guilt and regret. Thinking that you know everything- that you don't need anyone's help or advice. A heart block can mean that you are blocking love. Feeling rejected, ill-treated, inadequate, betrayed, like a failure. Difficulty accepting love and affection. Buried pain, stress and worry. Obsessed with work. What is listed above, is a guide to check in with your emotions. What have you been holding in? How have you been feeling. What have you been thinking? What has your self talk been? This can, and most likely does, stem from childhood. Emotions do not disappear because we don't allow ourselves to feel them or we suppress them. Emotions stay in the body until they are recognized, acknowledged and released. If you don't release them, then they contribute to dis-ease and disfunction. ok, so how do we release these emotions stuck in the body?
1. connect to your emotions. You must FEEL to HEAL. 2. When you are aware of the body part , then place your hands there and breathe deeply into the emotion for a minute or two. Ask your body for a message. 3. Listen in to your intuition for a message. You may hear a word that gives you insight. For example you may hear anger as the word. 4. Write down any insights you receive and then begin to explore the significance in your particular instance. 5. To clear - say Divine Healing Intelligence please heal me of-------- what ever it is. Please dissolve all feelings of fear, numbness, rage, pain, judgement and allow me to find new healing ways of expressing my emotions. Help me please. I am ready for healing in my body. Please restore me to perfect health. Thank you. 6. repeat the word CLEAR several times until you feel lighter. 7. You can visualize yourself in the white light of the divine. Or green healing energy. Repeat this as necessary. All of this information is meant to help in conjunction with western medicine. The information contained does not take the place of your medical doctor. It is to work along side. A mind, body, spirit approach. This book is full of information to help you heal. Please consider purchasing your own copy. If you want to begin your healing journey, please come talk to me. I have 32 years of health information management behind me. I am confidential and I am non-judgemental. I understand the body and all its systems. Allow me to help you initiate your own healing. I love to help. I know it works. This blog is dedicated to my uncle Joe. May the good Lord bless you and keep you as you begin your healing journey. I love you more than you know.

Today I am practicing so many things that I have learned over the last few years. I am practicing restraint, mindfulness, observance, kindness and love. As a new spiritual teacher I am intending to do better and better each day and to walk the rest of my journey with Grace, Ease, Compassion, Joy, Light and Love. The energy right now is tense and I am feeling it .. I also recognize this time of year the veil to the spirit world is thin and I feel my friends and family that have passed over and miss them. It's my human emotions. My spirit knows the truth and so I am constantly doing flipping in my thoughts, feelings and emotions. Every day decisions need to be made and my human and my spirit are continuously working together for my highest good. Where I experience the most growth is in my parenting role, wondering have I made the best decisions up to now for my young Master P. Do I have him on the road God has for him. Am I listening with all my senses and gifts or am I projecting onto him what I think he should do? Today though, I sit here with tears because I recognize the journey this young man has had already in his 18 years of human life. He has already walked through 6 surgeries, and many life lessons...But I see his strength, his courage, his kindness and mostly his love of life. He took it upon himself to volunteer at WE day today. Last year we were invited as WE day celebrates the accomplishments young people have in service to others. Paulo jr is very kind. He is of service for the higher good. I am so proud of him. So very proud. And I am so very grateful he is my son. Thank you God. the below is from the Global News online Officials have announced the lineup for the 2016 WE Day Alberta event to be held in Calgary this month. Among those set to take to the stage are astronaut and author Chris Hadfield, country artists Brett Kissel and Lindsay Ell, rapper Classified and Paralympian Rick Hansen. “Your community is your roots, it has the ability to shape who you are and support your dreams,” Kissel said in a Wednesday news release. “The young people at WE Day Alberta understand the importance of giving back to the special place they call home; the impacts of their actions—big or small—make a difference.” The inspirational event began in Ontario 20 years ago and has since spread to three countries. WE Day celebrates the difference young people make in their world through volunteerism. “WE Day celebrates the amazing young people who have taken action at home and around the world, to create sustainable change for a better tomorrow,” co-founder Craig Kielburger said. “Standing in a stadium full of passionate youth will affirm your belief that real change can happen—and is happening every single day right here in Alberta. WE Day Alberta 2016 will be held at the Saddledome on Oct. 26. BELOW: Complete list of WE Day Alberta speakers, performers and presenters:
truth..
Walking through the pain is necessary part of growth.. as a new spiritual teacher I am getting all kinds of messages from my Divine Team that people who are depressed have so much healing to do.. of course it is free will if they choose to heal or not... what a blessing right? we get to choose. But, I also caution that this is a time where there can be great growth! The soul knows and reminds us of the growth that we came here to go through. I know.. I manifested cancer and know it could have been an exit point.. ( I know.. a hard reality to wrap your brain around) but I wanted to stay in earth school a while longer.. I have too much to see and do and teach yet. And besides a certain young master needs me... and I am so blessed to have him in my life. My son is the reason I breathe and do the work I do to heal. I am modelling to him the best me I can be. Sunny Dawn Johnston was right.. as I heal.. so is he. There is so much magic in the world and so much mysterious energy to learn . I have believed in God my entire life. I have never disbelieved. Oh .. I have been mad at Him.. and I have yelled out and screamed at him, but I love Him so much.. he never has let me down.. When I think things can't get better, I turn it all over to him and I ask for signs that I understand.. I need to get quiet and sit with myself so that I can hear him. I pray for guidance and I call in my Divine Team. One painful part of growth is doing your forgiveness work. I have learned that I am no less than anyone. God created me. A Course In Miracles teaches me I am whole, perfect and complete. It teaches me to let go of grievances in order for me to attract my blessings. I am blessed. I am kind. I am strong. I am smart. I am doing what God has asked of me. I am being of service. Each day I am amazed at what He brings me. What an amazing life. What amazing lessons. Cry when you need to and find teachers, mentors and guides that you trust. Use your gut to weed out the ones who are ego-based. You will know. You won't feel good when you are at their event or class. Take the lesson and then move on. I am so blessed that I have had high integral teachers. I am close to God and my Divine Team. I love them all so much. This week I am working with more Goddesses. The ones I have met are White Tara- listen to your body, Kuan Yin- self-fulfilment, Butterfly Maiden- transformation, Kali- honouring cycles, and Mawu- Divine Mother Earth. These are powerful energies that I can feel in my life. Thank you God for all the magic, mysteries and miracles that you are bringing to my life! If I can help you or if you just want to chat, make an appointment to come see me or we can chat on the phone. I work with all the love in me. No judgement and 32 years of confidentiality with my Medical career. You are ensured a beautiful empowerment session. You have the power within you.. allow me to help you shine a little brighter.. Live, Love & heal with Giuliana. xoxo Letting Go sounds easy but it truly has been a journey of discovery. I believe with my whole being that there is a power greater than us. I call him God. God has saved me through his Grace, favour and has healed me on a level that I can't put into words. I asked him to help me become more. He has brought in the most amazing teacher, mentors and guides and to each one I am eternally grateful. I learned a great piece of advice last week at my Goddess Healing Matrix Course and that was to always seek a teacher who is more expanded than you. What that means is that they know more and have more to offer than what you already know and have learned. Use your intuition to determine if they are a good fit.
I can't reiterate enough the power of intention. If you intend to heal and if you intend to attract the right teachers you will. Send the universe clear messages and you will get clear results. When I had to let go, I had to let go of the way I thought my life should look and embrace the way it was showing up. This was difficult. I hung on to a lot of shame and guilt. I have learned now I had nothing to feel shame and guilt for. I came to realize I always did the best I could. When I realized that I let go! I forgave myself, and I resolved to learn, grow, heal and expand. I wake up each day and I thank God for my life! I am open to receive and I ask for protection and I ask how may I be of service? I ask God what his plan is for my life? I ask for the next best step. Yesterday, I had the blessing of watching "I am not your Guru" by Tony Robbins and I also watched "you can heal your life" with Louise Hay. What a powerful punch they packed in... Tony says, in order to heal you have to get out of your head and into your heart to heal. He affirms our worthiness. We don't need to earn it. We are not to base our worth on others opinions of us. Their opinion does NOT matter. From the Louise Hay movie I learned in order to heal you must do these 4 things: 1. resolve and dissolve resentment held in the body 2. do your forgiveness work 3. no why me! no pity parties 4. love ourselves to health. Gratitude, a daily spiritual practice, forgiveness of myself and others, affirmations, blessing myself and others, being authentic, taking back your power, being motivated by love, appreciating your life and all you have, and being committed to change will help you heal. Learning to trust your inner guidance ( the voice of the Holy Spirit within you- that connection to source) will truly take you far. There is a saying, IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THEN YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. Are you willing to CHANGE? I am. I am willing to change to heal my life. I know my thoughts create my reality. I am on a journey! Want to join me? Angel and Goddess cards are a tool we use to open the lines of communication to our Divine Team of help. God gifted us these amazing light beings to help us! that is how much HE loves us. Angel/Goddess Empowerment sessions are only $44 until the new year. Message me now for yours. In 2017 they will be going up. I get better and better and the insights, guidance, support and love that comes through is such a great investment in your life. Today is a very interesting day to use all the tools I have learned over the last 52 years. Today I decided was a day to let go of a grievance. "A course in Miracles" course teaches us to forgive. Forgiveness brings peace and freedom. Sometimes you can forgive in person, and sometimes not. Today I decided to phone someone up in order to forgive and move on. I prayed for guidance and called in all my angels. As the phone was ringing I was nervous. When this person picked up, she was already in attack mode. I spoke clearly, calmly and with love. I tried to explain but she said to me " We used to love you, but we have our limits!" You see that? that is a condition put on loving me. I have to admit that I was choked, but my dear mentor's voice popped in my head and I could clearly hear her say "Love yourself sis!" you got this! You have done so much work to heal. I see you.. I love you. I also heard Mother Mary in my head assuring me I had done the right thing. I have a kind heart. I am human. I know I am not a perfect person, but I do know that I have healed so much in the 8 months since the episode occurred where I was not my best self. I was grieved so intensly that I reacted to something instead of responding. But that day was pivotal in that I intended to learn and heal and grow my soul so that I am a better person. Just because she can't see it, doesn't mean it is not real. I told her I would not be yelled at, said goodbye, and hung up. I was hurt and decided to go and get a burger at A&W. I got some air. As we were driving a big lady bug dropped onto the roof of my car. That is a sign from Mother Mary. Mother Mary healing quality is self- love. That was huge for me to love myself enough to not give one more ounce of myself to the negativity of this lesson and to only continue to send love. This is their lesson now. This painting is from http://velvadawn.com - The Goddess Healing Matrix System course. Card #2. Mother Mary is prevalent in my life. She is the mother of Jesus, our Holy Mother and A Divine Goddess. She teaches us to love ourself and to fill our cups with love by nurturing yourself. Her colour is rose pink and her crystal is rose quartz. Women must give love to themselves so that can be of service to their family and loved ones. When we continuously give to others, as I have, we forget to fill our own cups and then we get into trouble and start feeling bitter and resentful toward the very people whom we love the most. We must tell ourselves " I love you" and really learn to believe it. Today I love myself enough to move on. I must forgive and send love. I have healed my worthiness and my feelings of not being enough. I have always felt inferior my entire life, and to be told today that I thought I was better than her was a huge shock. My 5 fears that I have worked through are 1. not being enough 2. not being liked 3. feeling worthy 4. being judged 5. giving my power away. As she is my mirror I will learn from this. I will fill myself up. I will live from my spirit and not my ego. I know the truth. I apologized way more times than they ever have so now I "LET GO". I learn the value in this lesson, I will teach from it and I will keep moving forward. I don't need to beg people to like or love me. I am loved and lovable. The right people will see me. A Course in Miracles also teaches me I am whole, perfect and complete. I am a piece of God himself. I am love and I am light. I am!! God bless you all. Love and angel blessings. I love you. Giuliana this is the lady bug on my car.
God thought you were worth saving and He sacrificed His Son for you. He knew every mistake that you would ever make in life and yet He chose you! He didn't give up on you! He hasn't quit on you! He still loves you! Others may try to devalue you. The word devalue means to reduce or underestimate the worth or importance of something. Understand, God has already determined your worth. You are who God says you are and you can do everything that God has determined for you to do. You are of great value to God and His kingdom and there is nothing that anyone can say or do to lessen who and what God has determined you to be! Amen *from Daily Moments with God.- thank you to them for this part of my blog today. Never give up or give in. Never lose hope. God deposited powerful gifts within you to be able to guide you to stay in the light. The right family , friends, teachers , mentors , courses etc. But you have the choice to learn to tune in or not. This morning I woke up with a sense of peace and fb announced international peace day!!! ☮❤️🌟✌🏻️coincidence? Nope. Synchronicity. Signs. God's got me. How and why do I question Him? My faith is strong and getting stronger each day. I am moving forward with the Grace that helps me heal. Things may not go the way you want or expect but they do work out. Stay in faith. Trust. Be a good person. Share love & kindness. Be authentic. Heal. Grow. Learn and always strive to do better. Don't look back. Look forward. Learn your lessons, recognize the value and strive to always do your best! To my family & friends I want thank you for loving me and supporting me. Exciting new opportunities await me and I know God is walking with me and all of you. To all my teachers and mentors thank you for reminding me of my strength. Thank you all again, so very much. Thank you God. Let go of the way you think your life should go and be open to the life that God has planned for you. Ask how you may be of service and notice the signs as He illuminates your path. Don't try to be anyone else. Just be you. It is an amazing superpower and everyone else is taken.. hahah..
Stay in faith. Connect to a higher power. Take care of yourself because you are so very important. Recognize your worth. You are enough. You are so very loved and lovable and you have a power within you that is so strong that it will carry you through all of life's lessons with God, Grace and with the help of your guardian angels. this is what I know for sure today. I am so very blessed. I have a precious human life and I will not take it for granted. I stay in the light and I can get through anything. I love you all. On wednesday night I was a part of the "embrace your body" zoom room class held by Sunny Dawn Johnston. Sunny is a teacher who teaches from her experiences. When she was young she held extra weight. She learned how to love herself and now rocks a smoking hot body. I trust her and I believe in her. When she speaks I hear her.
She spoke on the body, mind, spirit connection. She discussed how the body hears everything the mind thinks and everything we speak. She says there is an emotional component behind every dis-ease. Her no nonsense approach with her "You can't B.S.your body" statement really hit home with me. You see I am healing. I do my affirmations, I keep very positive and I stay out of fear for the most part. I always know when I am not in alignment as I get sick. Case in point; a big honking cold sore for the last week. When she read the emotions behind it from the Inna Segal book- The Secret Language of your Body, I resonated with it. It states; feeling deprived, like you are not getting what you want. Difficulty communicating your desires because of fear of rejection or of to being liked. Feeling uncomfortable, disappointed, and angry. Allowing others to control and manipulate you, then feeling let down, frustrated and disillusioned. Whoa!! It was exactly what was going on with me. You can't b.s. the body!!! So I knew I had to breathe, ground, and up the self-care. I got super reiki from a male shaman friend of mine and I sat with God again for more time. Sunny's forgiveness meditation that she did toward the end of the class also helped me release my guilt and shame. I got a message from Archangel Zadkiel. He said I am forgiven. I don't need to earn it. I am enough. I am worthy and I am so very loved. Our bodies are sacred vessels that we chose before we came into physical form. We chose it for our spiritual journey here on earth. This body that we are in right now is perfect. Of course we can make it better in terms of muscle mass and health. That is our home for our soul. Sunny reminded us that we are the ones who abuse ourselves. We are the hardest person on us and she asked us if we would put up with the abuse from someone else the way we abuse ourselves! What a big question that reduced me to tears. It is true. I berate myself. I beat myself up. I talk badly to myself. My body is sore. My body resists me. My body gives up. I know its because of my negative self talk. She said to decide right there and then "not one more minute of the self abuse talk!". I am resolving to speak better to myself. To love myself back to health as I deserve it!! I know that the fat I carry is energy of fear. Fear of being beautiful. Fear of being more than I have ever been. You see it is safe in the shadows. When you put yourself out there for all to see, then you get judged! That too is one of my 5 fears I am working on. I am doing better but I still have a way to go. I am grateful to this teacher for her love, support, knowledge and experience. She is integral, she is funny, she is smart and I love and appreciate her. If you too would like to join in on a zoom room class with me or Sunny you can find us on fb and at www.sunnydawnjohnston.com and www.giulianamelo.com This is my new logo. The heart is a symbol of the love that we all are and that I want to share. The green is for Archangel Raphael and healing and the pink is love of Archangel Chamuel.
I look forward to the future! I am creating a life where I can be of service and do readings to help open the door to healing with messages from our Divine helpers and with Divine life force energy. If I can help you, please contact me. Love, Giuliana 5 years ago today, I was one day postop. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, appendectomy , omentectomy and multiple lymph node dissection. Sounds invasive right? it was. I knew I had cancer, however at this point I didn't know the extent. The biopsy I had prior just said I had cancer cells in my uterus that didn't originate there. Naively I thought I was going into surgery, getting everything out and then I would be able to go to the status quo of my life. I had to concentrate on healing the excruciating pain my body was experiencing. Intuitively I knew to send love and light to my pelvic cavity and abdominal wound. When I returned home, I was blessed to have the most supportive husband and mom and extended family. My inner little girl just wanted to be nurtured. There is nothing quite like a mom's love. It is healing. She stayed with me for a month. When mom and I went to see the oncologist we only got to see a resident who was not very good yet at delivering bad news. I knew what questions to ask, but she did not know how to deliver gently or to allow the patient to be informed and hopeful. I asked what grade and stage the cancer was. She just said I had mets and that the primary wasn't in the uterus. Mom and I left feeling numb and in shock. I thought I was going to die. Thank God, when I got home, my sister and my mom took it upon themselves to jump into action for answers. My sister had worked for the cancer clinic for 20 years so she knew who to call to get the answers we seeked. The head of oncology called my mom back and we got all the answers. Stage 3 serous carcinoma of the peritoneum with mets to the uterus, cervix, tubes, ovaries and appendix. Lymph nodes clear. Chemo highly suggested. Carbo Taxol x 6 rounds. Whew!! what a diagnosis. I had an out of body experience. Me? Cancer?? NO!!! I didn't want to die. I wanted to live. I wanted to experience my 25th wedding anniversary. I wanted to see Paulo jr graduate. Right then and there I resolved to heal. That is the moment I met my soul. I tuned into that part of me that is God and I asked Him in to my life in a way that I never had before. I was compliant with western medicine and I tuned into my spiritual guidance. I felt the hand of my grandma Josephine, in spirit, helping me. I felt my friend Ann-Marie loving me from the other side. I also felt all my guardian angels with me. I began to be open to reiki, biofeedback, sound therapy, herbs, marine phytoplankton. I prayed, meditated and listened to Hayhouse radio for your soul. I was guided to teachers, gurus, and mentors. I went to retreats to heal my old wounds. I went to Oprah twice. I saw Deepak Chopra, Iyanla Vanzant, Tony Robbins, and Rev TD Jakes. I went to John of God in Toronto. I took my healing seriously. I knew I had to heal mind, body, spirit. I learned to think positive and to ask God and the angels for love, support, guidance, inspiration and healing. I had to learn to love myself as much as I have loved everyone else my whole life. This journey brought me to today. I feel whole, perfect and complete even though I still carry extra weight. I know healing is an evolution. It starts the day I was born and will continue until I return to spirit. I know I am spirit embodied. I know God created me. I have a daily spiritual practice and I spend time with God each day. I know life is a journey. It is not always easy. That is part of growth. The hard parts are where we learn the lessons we are in earth school to experience. We are supported through it all. It is all in how we choose to see it. We can choose to sit in fear of the future and in anger at the experiences or we can choose to travel through each day in trust. I choose TRUST. I know only love is real. Fear is an illusion. I know fear is ego. I tell my ego to get lost and I centre my energy with the strength of God and the angels he gifted us with. If I can ever help you with an angel card reading and or positivity coaching, or just an ear to listen, please email me at juliemelo@icloud.com. God bless you all, Giuliana "the name of the Lord is a strong Tower, The Righteous man runs into it and is safe" - proverbs 18:10
"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love" - Marcus Aurelius "If you believe it will work out, you will see opportunities. If you believe it won't, you will see obstacles" - Wayne Dyer Wow! What a day I had today! This was one of the most incredible workshops I have ever had the blessing to be a part of. You might be asking what is Women Talk? WomenTalk is an evening gathering where women present and share their stories, thoughts, ideas and experiences. You will laugh, you will learn and you will be entertained by WOMEN talkers. The evenings are fast paced and Ted-talk style. The women are from all walks of life. Women Talk is growing! The original night was created by Brigitte Lessard in Calgary, but has expanded to include, Edmonton, Strathmore, and now Red Deer. With other locations in the works. Women Talk is a growing phenomenon that promises to expand right across Canada. "By sharing their stories, Women make their community stronger" Brigitte Lessard Founder and CEO. The next Calgary date is August 17, 2016 from 7 - 9 at the Coast Plaza Hotel. You can purchase tickets at www.womentalk.ca. For more info you can call (403) 813-1209. Now onto the day we had today. My healing journey has lead me to Brigitte and Women Talk Calgary. I am not ready to talk just yet, but I am gathering my courage and rewriting my old story from victim to thriver and I am almost ready, so in the meantime I am a part of her social media team. I help share posts on Facebook and Twitter. It is a volunteer position that I am so proud to have. I am so happy to be a part of the team. Because of that, she selected me to join her and her directors today. I am filled with so much gratitude at this invitation and I couldn't wait to get to the site just outside of Strathmore, where Equine Connection is. I couldn't wait to meet the horses. When I walked into the Arena I looked to my left and there was Mr. Jordy. Jordy is a special addition to the Equine Connection as he is a curly horse. He is a rare breed with curly hair! He loves people and is highly intelligent, quick to learn and one of the most sacred teachers I have ever had. He has a quiet temperament and does not spook or run. I had an immediate connection with him. Then I looked around the arena at the other 3 horses and sent them all love and appreciation for their work they were about to do. I knew I was ready now to have this experience. I had heard of equine therapy before with healing with autistic children, but I never knew of such a program to empower women! And it is right here in our backyard! After having a peek in the arena, we had a welcome by 3 of the loveliest ladies on the team. Their names are Kari Fulmek, Jan Johnson, and Carolyn Charles. They facilitated the building safety plan, and a powerpoint on the 6 skills every trailblazing women needs. They are Courage, Competence, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration and Confidence. They asked us " Are we leading our lives? or are we being led? Is it time for you to map out powerful new dreams and direction for your life? Why YES it is!! Trailblazer on Fire is designed for optimal learning in a hands-on environment where constant teachable moments are facilitated one-on-one to install and ensure women participants move forward with the powerful skills they need to lead dynamic lives. Why horses? Horses are the teachers. They look for strong leadership and are willing to follow, but only after they find respect and trust. Working with horses in leadership skill development, you can learn to take empowered action, try new behaviours and connect with your passionate self. The changes that you experiences are immediate... as horses live "in the moment". You can't fool them!!!! When we moved to the arena for the first time with the horses, of course I gravitated to my beautiful teacher JORDY. A partner and I groomed him and then he lay down. He was very relaxed and seemed to listen to our every word. The messages he gave me were clear: 1. JUST BE
2. REST 3. Don't sweat the small stuff 4. BREATHE. My partner saw his rest as him being lazy. Interesting the way we both got our messages. Then we regrouped in the classroom and did a quiz on our communication styles. Very interesting. I am "connector" and an "influencer". I had less qualities of the "doer" and "thinker". Although you use all 4 in your life, I am definitely strongest in connecting people. I am a reliable team player who looks after everyone in my tribe. I am consistent and caring. My second one was the Influencer. They are inspirational, understanding, and encouraging. Doers tend to be high achievers and leaders and drive necessary results. No surprise that our own Brigitte Lessard fit into that category! She is an amazing woman and I am so proud to know her. Thinkers tend to excel when they like their work and can think through all angles and contingencies. It was very interesting to learn my communication style. I also learned that you have to be able to ADAPT to be a strong leader. Once again it was time to head into the arena to do some more work with our horse teachers. I got to work with Brigitte and the horse named Kokanee( those of you from Fernie will laugh at that synchronicity !). Kokanee is a friendly Canadian Warmblood gelding, with a super cheeky personality. He is strong and loves his job. For this part of the learning we had to work as a team with a short rope and a long rope attached to him. With these ropes and our minds we had to lead him around specific obstacles. I was so nervous I forgot all the rules!! When Kari reminded me of them, I felt grounded again. Very interesting in that when Brigitte led and I supported, Kokanee did as we intended. When Brigitte asked me if I wanted to lead, I became less confident and Kokanee felt it and didn't behave in the same way. As soon as I surrendered again to the support position, he lead us beautifully. Brigitte is a strong leader. She took that horse and lead him like nothing I ever saw before. I am a leader, but in this instance it felt comfortable allowing Brigitte to lead our 1500 pound teacher and I fulfill the support position. I learned so so much of myself. I learned that I am strong. I have a strong mind and I am healing. All of my healing work has brought me to today. When we completed the tasks successfully, we had time to reflect. There are no words to explain my experience.. It was a feeling, a knowing and a growth only felt at a soul level. I manifested this experience for myself. I put it out to the universe and my Divine Team brought me to Brigitte and on to the workshop today. I have done a lot of healing over the last 5 years. Today elevated me to that next evolutionary rung on the ladder of our soul growth in earth school. Today was one of the most sacred days of my life. I showed up a different me. I am growing in a garden of the most amazing women and I love each one of them so very much. Thank you Brigitte for inviting me. Thank you to Kari, Carolyn, and Jan. thank you to Jordy, Kokanee and Comet and the other horses. Thank you mostly to GOD and my Divine Team for bringing me this experience of a lifetime. I am so blessed. I am healing. I am so grateful.
