Just Dance!


Kalispera, as they would say in Greek! I just watched a movie about Greece and have every intention to visit that beautiful & magnificent country someday soon!!

I know I have slacked off a bit in the blogging world, to think If I was striving to make this blog a hit.....I would have to post 3-4 times a day. I personally just blog when I feel inspired to share some spiritual gibberish when the moment sparks!

This week has been all about discovering patterns and negative thoughts I have attached myself to like gorilla glue. I hit a speed bump of grief early this week and it has been dragging behind me ever since. Grief is a very heartbreaking,uncomfortable, and a rather disturbing state of being....yet in this state one can can have the most beautiful spiritual awakenings. So, as uncomfortable as it is I will sit with my grief, offer it a cup of tea, and trust it will be packing up soon.

If you experience grief...happiness is bound to be lingering around somewhere right? As it says in the Tao Te Ching: Being and non-being create each other.Difficult and easy support each other.Long and short define each other.High and low depend on each other.Before and after follow each other. So breathe easy and know that with this grief will one day come joy,happiness, and the wholeness that seems so far away.


Something fun I wanted to share before wrapping this up...My friend Pam and I are in the process of helping organize a transformation movement weekend with Roger Sams. Sunday while brainstorming, I came across a poem Roger Sams wrote and shared at a past workshop. I don't have the poem to post right now, nor do I have Roger's permission yet- but look for it in a later post. The gist of the poem was all bout dancing in whatever life throws at you. One of the lines talks about even dancing in your own blood & I was so moved by that!

This past weekend I attended a fundraiser dance event and observed everyone dancing in state of bliss. The beautiful thing about dancing is it is almost impossible not to smile. When we dance we let off such a high vibrational frequency that only allows good to flow in that moment...no matter what the outside circumstances are! Tonight I was reminded in the Greek film how important it is to dance. The actor was talking about how in the Greek culture they dance no matter what- rain or shine!

I leave you with a quote from my favorite song-

" You can't dance and stay up tight, it's a supernatural delight. Everyone was dancing in the moonlight".

Loving you just because!!

Manifest... Easy as 1-2-3


Let's start this with a BIG THANK YOU to you wonderful people for taking the time to read my blog. I know life gets busy, but how super groovy are you to stop by and visit ;)

I'd like to give special thanks to the Universe for giving me everything I ever asked for....it may not be here on the physical plane yet.....but it's so close I can taste it!! Everything I have ever desired is like craving a cheeseburger.....I can smell it...taste it...imagine what it will be like when I eat it...AND suddenly I am feeling how it would feel if I was eating the cheeseburger in this moment....

Manifestation is what I am sharing about. Thoughts become things....of course not every single thought...but yes the thoughts that you hold on to and believe in!!

Try this:

Next time you are in a parking lot, do not hold the thought of "I won't find a parking space"....instead focus on the thought " My parking space is waiting".....see how it goes....

Have something you wish to manifest in your life? PERFECT....here is the three step process....

1.) Ask....don't be afraid...you are worthy of all that it is you desire....
2.)Answer.....don't worry about a thing....yes the Universe heard you and graciously agrees you should have that..
3.)Receive....feel that feeling as if what you asked for has already showed up....it may take some imagination but you can do it....when you activate joy, happiness, excitement, and gratitude you are aligning yourself with that which you are asking for....

Yes, it does take some faith...but what do you have to lose....take a chance...create the life you have always dreamed of!! I support you in all of your creations and I wish all the abundance of the Universe to shower upon you!

Martin Luther King once said " You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step."


Keep on keepin' on.....

Loving you with all my heart!!

Just Breathe.....




As they say in Australia, Good Day Mates ;)

Recently I have received a lot of questions and interest regarding my new certification as a breathworker. I am very excited that it has attracted many of you to ask questions!! So here are the basics:

Breathwork (rebirthing) is a conscious circular breathing technique that clears all negative thought patterns. This breathing is a very powerful spiritual purification technique that can clear stress, pain, birth traumas, traumatic events, and death urges.

Have you found yourself in the same situation multiple times and you are wondering how you got there...AGAIN?!?! We as humans are habitual creatures and we will repeat a pattern until we have recognized what thought we have attached to it....and then we are ready to release it. For example: say as a child you were adopted and attached the thought that "you are not wanted or good enough". The thought "I am not wanted" has now become your personal lie. Now as an adult you may have trouble completing things, failed relationships, and a hard time accepting yourself.

Through a rebirthing session you breathe out your negative thought patterns, discover their attachment, and release them out your body. It is very similar to defragmenting a computer, you are clearing out all of the bugs and creating free space. It is a very powerful technique that will expand your heart and change your life!!

If you are interested in a session and are in the St. Louis area you may contact me 314-471-5639. For all my extended readers....I have a directory and would be happy to refer you to a great breathworker in your area.

Thought I'd share a picture of my Liberation Breathing School Training Class...



With a Deep Breath...

Love,Love,Love!

In The Show Me State



Hi Beautiful Light Beings,

Happy New Year and abundant blessings to you all in 201o.

I am very excited to start this New Year with new discoveries in rather familiar places. I have been searching outside for something that has been inside all along.

As many of you know I am currently taking a rest here in Missouri with my family, before I embark on India and other amazing places on this planet!! I was a little bit hesitant for coming and staying longer then a week, but every direction I turned I was guided gently back to St. Louis the "Show Me" state. So here I am.....it hasn't been the easiest time....as I wish to make analytical sense of everything....learning a lesson of "being" instead of "doing".

Since the blog is called In Love & Service...I'd like to share an awareness I came to the other day and will implement into my New Year affirmations.

The other morning I work up and started my day in a completely chaotic state! I believe the cold pissed me off, then I moved onto to cell phone problems and vomited a mess of words to the service rep...which was completely irrelevant to the situation. Then I proceeded to beat myself up for everything that I had not yet accomplished in 2010....after all It had already been 5 days! Silly right? Well as a human I fully accept the crazy moments life may bring, but I don't have to stay there and I can continue to seek a higher conscious connection with source!

As I was driving later in the day the message came to me.....If I would make the conscious decision every day upon opening my eyes to serve in EVERYTHING.....the rest is taken care of. A huge sense of relief came over me and I felt fear being gracefully dismissed. If we are always serving in all of our affairs then we will never need to be concerned with anything else! So my friends I continue on my journey to serve humanity!!!


Thank You Shiva for the beautiful puja tonight & many blessings to Danielle for coordinating the event!! Best of luck Danielle with the new studio!! If your in St. Louis and looking for some yoga from the heart check out D's Yoga!!

Smothering you all with my love ( in a good way!!)

Let the journey continue.......

The Power of Pele



Hi Friends!!

My what an amazing month it has been! On December 2nd I said my farewells to LA and headed on the plane with my friend Kevin to The Big Island. Sitting on the plane I reflected on the moments that lead me to that point and I sat in gratitude and excitement for my new adventure.

My first day of Kona was filled with yummy food, lots of sunshine, new discoveries, and fresh air!! Kevin and I cruised the coast to South Kona jamming to great tunes in the convertible- so much fun! We arrived to Ahh Paradise and met two of our training buddies Jules & Genevieve
who traveled all the way from Australia!!




Let the adventures begin- Jules,Genevieve,Kevin,& I hopped in the car and got to know each other on the 2 hour ride to Volcano. We stopped along at Point of Refuge & a black sand beach which had the most gorgeous Lilly pond in it's backyard!! We arrived Kilauea Volcano National Park and TuTu Pele ignited our hearts. The four of us gave up fear and hiked to the edge of the lava rock overlooking the ocean to meet TuTu Pele. The moment I looked off in the distance and saw Pele I spun into a spiritual high.

Level One Liberation Breathing was a great success! I uncovered, discovered, and discarded lots of things in the training!! My training buddies were a lot of fun and I learned something special from each one of them. Many thanks to Sondra Ray & Mark Sullivan for their time and dedication to bring breathwork all around the world. If anyone is interested in a complimentary session, let me know!!

After spending a beautiful week in Kona, I hopped islands to Maui. I took the shuttle to Naplil Kai where I spent a week at the Ram Dass- Open Your Hearts In Paradise retreat. I got to be of service, meet some new satsang family, attend yoga with Saul David Raye, meditation with Therese Fitzgerald, kirtan every night with Krishna Dass, and received darshan and had lunch with Ram Dass. It was truly a week in paradise!!

Australia has been added to my travel list, can't wait to connect with Laura, Jules, and Marcus again.

I have now arrived in Missouri where I will spend the Holidays with my family and prepare for a trip to India in March. If you interested in going to India, check out Sondra's web page.

Thank You Pele for inviting me to Hawaii and leading me on a magical adventure!!


So much love & blessings to you all!!

Rooted In Gratitude




Good Evening Beautiful Spirits!!

Tonight I choose to be Rooted In Gratitude,the flow is unbelievable!! I am blessed with an abundance of love,guidance, and support all around me. I have struggled over the past two weeks with fears, but when I stop and meditate on my surroundings...I am reconnected with my root of gratitude.

A special thank you and warm embrace to all of you who have loved me unconditionally through this journey. I have received many emails,text, and calls from people cheering me a long the way....it touches my heart and soul and truly leaves me in an intense state of gratitude.

I encourage you all to root yourself deeply in gratitude and affirm it in your life everyday! When we flow and practice gratitude and service, the roots get stronger and stronger. There is no discomfort or dis-ease in gratitude, there is only love,life, and pure bliss.

I extend my gratitude to all of you for being a light force and channel for the Divine!

So Much Love To You All,

Erin

Everything Borrowed!


Hi!

I apologize for the gap between now & my last post, as I having been going through a transition period.

Tonight I attended my very first Bikram Yoga class, hard to believe that I had never sought such a powerful outlet before. I wanted to practice my yoga skills, so I didn't embarrass myself too much in front of Saul David Ray in December. I am looking forward to interacting more with my body and breath. I felt that my bod was saying "it is about time" during the yoga class...it was a very powerful release and with that came an intense sense of peace.

The lesson I believe that has been showing up in all aspects of my life is simply this: Nothing belongs to us, it is all borrowed from the Universe! Over the past few weeks I have gotten the opportunity to be stretched and stripped of all that I once thought was mine. Truth is nothing belongs to me and I must treat everything as a precious gift from the Universe.

It all started when I stated to the Universe that I was willing to sacrifice it all to serve humanity. Be careful what you request from the Universe and be sure you are fully prepared when asking for such a powerful lesson.

I have taken a huge leap of faith and I will share that I have been getting into fear lately. At the moment I have few material items and ownership of things that brings me comfort. In fact I have been removed of so much, that I am beginning to feel a since of loss. The loss may not feel good, but I am entering into a process which will slowly show me what serving humanity is really about.

Hawaii is coming up in just four short weeks and every part of my being is excited for the new adventure!

Let the love and abundance of the Universe flow through every cell of your body!!

Peace & Love!

Namaste!
