But I also portray evil witches and wicked stepmothers as a character actor/singer onstage. And it is from this experience that I share a few insights with you today. Every story needs a strong villain. The stronger the villain, the more appealing the story. In live stage productions, there must be a tension pattern built during the show between the villain and other characters in the show. This tension is usually created by a universal issue that the audience can relate to, such as the struggle for freedom of expression (Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music…) As tension builds onstage between the characters, a similar pattern of tension is drawn up from within the audience. If you have every felt that you just couldn't pause a TV show or movie for a bathroom break, you have experienced this yourself. And this is a good thing! This is How Healing Happens. By creating a tension pattern onstage that relates to experiences within someone's personal life, what is resonant with the onstage action is drawn up into the audience member's body. Most of the time the audience is unaware (consciously) of the processing that they are then doing on their own version of the issue portrayed onstage (or in a movie). But as a character actor/singer, I can feel when the audience is engaged with the show and the related tension pattern. As a psychic I can often see it as a change in color and texture in the air above the audience in the theater. Other actors/singers feel it as a palpable thickening in the space around us all onstage. I consider this to be an indication that we have entered into Sacred Space together. Something is ready to change. And whatever that is, there are energies related to it present and tangible in the room. As the show's story progresses the hero discovers the weakness or wound already present within the villain. In this moment the energy of the villain contracts, so that the energy of the hero expands. And this is the moment of healing. As the villain, and all that the villain represents loses its power, the hero and related characters expand into their own power. For audience members, this resonates out into the tension pattern in the room. Because the onstage hero has overcome the onstage villain, the equivalent resonant pattern in their own personal life may also be overcome. Even if it is not possible in that precise moment, the audience members 'try-on' the feeling of overcoming their personal life issue. 'What if I chose to do what I feel I should do?' would be a common insight question to arise. My point? Healing happens in so many ways. It can happen while watching a play, movie or TV series, or even the current political show. What is being embodied can help us see and change ourselves. The villain isn't actually a person, but rather the choices and resulting actions taken by a person. Healing happens as we have gratitude for those playing the role of the villain in our own personal lives. While portraying many villains onstage, I learned that I could open my heart and feel gratitude as I took my curtain call at the end of the show. I knew that the show had gone particularly well if, as I stepped onstage into the audience's view, the applause greatly diminished. As I broke character and smiled, opening my heart and my arms, it was as if a wave of clear energy rolled out from the entire stage and all the cast members into the auditorium. This is transmutation. It is another way that Healing Happens. Whatever personal issues had been brought up by the show's story were rolled right up into this wave of clear energy and moved on. The hero within each person watching the show was victorious. And so I wonder, what is it that we are learning now? I believe whatever patterns of tension that are arising within each person are those patterns of emotions and behaviors that are ready to be released. Healing is Happening. May we each remember our inner hero, and have gratitude for what we are learning in our journey, -Norma Check out Norma's new online Spiritual video courses (save $20 with early-bird price) Re-Initializing Reiki Update your personal connection to Reiki and your healing guides. $49 (pre-release price) How Healing Happens Insights and meditations to help you get out of the way of your own healing process.

It is also available for free to preview (along with downloadable mp3 and PDF) in my other online course, How Healing Happens. With our galaxy's passage into a new consciousness, all things are changing. Just as our world is undergoing transformation, those healing modalities which have come to us from historical traditions are also changing. The consciousness within each healing modality, those guides, angels and spiritual beings related to the modality, desire to be called upon in their newest capacity, as they are constantly changing as well. It is only natural that we too are ready to embrace our new relationships with them, so that Reiki and other healing modalities reflect the consciousness of ourselves and our world now. Private Healing Sessions (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 $215 and last about an hour.

Meditation #50 from September 16, 2016 Our lower chakras are underdeveloped and so not able to convey to us the psychic information that our body naturally receives. We have lost our ability to correctly interpret what our body is actually experiencing. In order to feel safe, we fall into habits that limit our expression out into our world. Fear, distrust, and not being able to make decisions are some ways that this manifests. This meditation offers you an opportunity to clear and reset your lower chakras, allowing your body to more easily connect into the nourishing energies and loving experiences that are possible in your life. This meditation is about letting go of our brain's need to control, and learning to trust that what is around us supports us. Even when it feels uncomfortable to us, whatever engages with us in some way serves the journey of our body and soul. Our personality's insistence that something is wrong (or right) and must (or must not) happen is what moves us into polarity. When we are functioning in this polarized state, it is very difficult to see options besides doing something, or doing its opposite. There is an intelligence deep within our lower body's chakras that does not function in a polarized manner. I see it as a unique quality of psychic perception lying primarily in the navel, 2nd chakra, and enteric nervous system. When we are able to engage with it, information received by this psychic (or Spiritual) intelligence is able to move out of our lower body and reach our heart and mind. We oftentimes have clarity about deep-seated issues when the information that has been received by our lower chakras is able to be transmitted to our heart and mind. For example, we can see options that were hidden from us when our only view was through the polarized lens of our overly busy brain. And because we perceive more options in a situation, we are able to address life issues in a very different manner. These meditations are very similar to what I offer in my Private Healing Sessions.
