Comments to my recent posts

Dear Subscribers,

I thought you might enjoy seeing what others have said about my most recent newsletters, which have been more blog-esque than newslettery.

RE: Electric Crazies, Ringing in the Ears...

This is from someone who came down from Dallas earlier this year to study Reiki with me: Notice that she hears ringing at night before bed, which is when my guides are also sending in the greatest "tune-up" energy to me as well. I am relaxed and either reading or watching TV. Yes, I think this person is actually hearing energy.

"I was reading your newsletter about the ringing, actually the subject,
"ringing in ears" caught my attention because I have a constant ringing
in my ears (or head). I attribute the ringing to a concert I went to when
I was about 19 or 20. You know, when you go to a loud concert your ears
are left ringing a bit, you go to sleep and then it's gone the next
morning, at least that's what I was used to, until it just never went away. I
don't necessarily hear it during the day anymore. When I try to relax is
when I hear it, mostly at night and before I go to bed. Now that I'm thinking
about it, I can kind of hear it. Anyway... what I'm trying to ask is
could this be the same type of ringing that you say you hear? I've been to
doctors who say it could be my sinuses that are causing this... I had my
hearing checked and I actually have terrific hearing. I can usually hear
pitches a little higher than what most can, which kind of sucks when I can hear
something and someone else can't. I do also work in an environment
with lots of electronics and buzzing going around.

It is kind of weird that you mention "ringing in ears" because sometime
this week, can't remember if it was today, I was thinking about going to
have some BodyTalk work done and having her concentrate on the ringing which
I've learned to live with, but wouldn't mind getting rid of, just because it
would be nice to know what quiet actually sounds like. I've never
thought about this before is why I thought it was kind of weird.

And this is from Graham Maxey, a psychologist whose wife, Shannon, is a medium.

Hi, Lois,

Don't know if you remember me, but my wife, Shannon, and I visited with you several years ago and participated in a discussion with a small group at your old shop. We've always enjoyed keeping up with you through your e-mails.

My heart goes out to you on the electricity being out. I remember living in Houston through some of the hurricanes and other storms that took out the juice for 4-5 days at a time. I'm glad you found a way to sleep--I never did, for more than a hour at a time.

I also read with interest about you hearing energy. Now, of course, Shannon is the medium in the family, but I have been aware of "tones" that seem to be inside my ears for many years. I used to work in a geriatric psych facility as a therapist. I used to notice a lot of these tones when I was with the patients. When we did some follow up on that population, we found that about 50% of them had died within 6 months of being there (these were really elderly people). It occured to me that these tones might be associated with the spirits of guardians or deceased family members getting ready to help these people cross. I have never had so many of these tones as when I worked with this group of people.

I also had a client whose mother died when he was four. He had had a hard time with life through his teen years, and had gotten a lot better except for a lingering pot habit. I got him a session with Shannon, who brought his mom through and she talked at length about his drug use. This really impressed him, because she had so many details correct about his early life, and his mother's personality. When he and I talked later he was still kind of considering whether Mom had really come through. At the moment I mentioned her name I was almost unseated by the loudest tone I had ever experienced. For an instant I wondered why the pictures were still on the wall because that loud noise should have shaken them all down. Then I realized it was just inside my head (but audible, not clairaudient). She apparantly wanted him to know without a doubt that she was with him.

It makes me think that energy in any dimension impacts energy (which is what matter is) in every dimension, which, I believe, is what physicists are telling us when they talk about 10 dimensional "string theory", and "brane theory". But, we each have a different "tuner" that picks up different frequencies of energy I guess. We can learn to "change the channel" and get more of these frquencies, but maybe we each have a native frequency that we are good at receiving, like the old crystal set radios.

You were talking about delusions versus psychic. Interestingly, I had a client who was schizoaffective and had many hallucinations all the time. She learned to deal with these rather affectively by asking other people if they saw or felt what she was seeing or feeling. But she had some after-death communications with her deceased father that she knew were qualitatively different from her normal hallucinations. So, yeah, you can be "crazy" and still be psychic. Delusions are really an organization of thoughts based on distorted perception. The biggest delusions I know of right now is the one still going on in Washington about Iraq. The DSM-IV could have a field day with that crowd.

Anyway, better go. Good thoughts and cooler nights to you, Lois.

All the best,

Graham Maxey

Lois' note: sometimes clairaudient things are so "loud" that they are actually audible, not just inside your head. But not audible to anyone but you. So I guess they are still clairaudient.

This next one is from a different Reiki student of mine:

Lois,

I enjoyed your musings very much and would love to read more! I�m sorry you had your electricity cut off. I hope it came on when it was supposed to. Interesting little stories you shared on your friends showing up and calling you. As for energy work, I do a lot of rebalancing work (on myself), and also continue the distance reiki. The distance sessions seem very powerful and effective, judging from the feedback I�ve gotten.

I did have a thought recently. Well, as you know, I can hear the reiki energy too, and have been able to hear it pretty much since day 1 of reiki I. I still hear it a lot, and many days I hear energy pretty much on and off all day. If I focus on it, it gets louder. Often my hands are tingling, as well as my arms, legs and feet, so I assume it is reiki energy trying to come in and balance me. At least that is what I have always intuitively felt.

I know not everyone who is attuned to reiki hears energy�I have no idea how many do or don�t though. It would be interesting to ask around to find out more info on that. But anyway, I toyed with the idea that this is a bit of clairvoyance since I have decided not to limit myself or tell myself I can�t do something or can�t have an ability or talent or whatever... so I started having "practice sessions" and saying ok, I am going to practice my clairaudient ability now. Then I focus on it a bit more, and I notice the energy gets louder, especially in my right ear and I start to feel pressure on my eardrum. I haven�t heard my guides yet, but I�m staying open to the possibility. They are always touching me hair and face so I figure they are right there!

Anyway, those are my own musings. Take care!

Next are some responses to the Fire the Grid experience. The following is from Heather in Washington State.

I fired the grid this morning Lois. My experience was a bit different from yours given the fact that I was not able to completely halt my day and sit in one place to meditate and send healing energy, love, and gratitude.

This did not stop me though since I have learned to slip into a meditative state while still being able to 'operate' quite effective in real life chores. It's a sort of detached feeling I get where I am able to leave the body, yet the body continues doing what needs to be done while my higher self is off in meditation somewhere....kind of hard to explain but it works!

This morning I meditated to set my intentions to fire the grid, knowing I would have to leave soon and make a three hour drive into Charlotte NC. First i called down all of the white light I could and let it swell and grow in me, then I muliplied it with all the love, joy, and gratitude i had within and sent it back out to my Mother Father God, Mother earth, and all of humanity.

Once that was sent out and set with my intention that it run continually from 7:11 AM eastern time to 8:11 Eastern time I then started up a large flow of reiki and sent long distance reiki energy to Mother Earth and all of humanity. I followed this up with the saying:

I AM the Victory of Light in all situations.

And so I am. Beloved I be.

The reiki was set to flow by intention the hour we fired the grid. I was able to drive on 'auto piolet' while I reinforced the flow of reiki and sent continual light and love from within me outward. My crown chakra was very warm, almost hot at times and tingly as the hour progressed. The reiki flowed more strongly than I have ever felt it flow before, all the way up my wrist, past my elbows, through the shoulders, along the cheeks and upward towards my crown chakra.

At the end of the hour I felt a great sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. It took a while for me to shift from that altered state back into total awareness but I am used to that when I go into that kind of meditation. Afterwards I was rather tired and really wanted a nap, but I still felt very calm and balanced.

Not sure if what I did was 'right but it was what I was 'guided' to do. the only other odd thing I noticed happened to me the night prior to firing the grid. I was in a restuarant and decided that a steak sounded good for dinner, to my tatse buds it must not have because a few bites into dinner my stomach felt queasy and I was told to stop eating 'red connective tissue' ...well, I thought that was a rather odd thing to hear and proceeded to take another bite. This time I was told more firmly to STOP eating 'red connective tissue' and my stomach heaved.

That was warning enough for me and I pushed the plate away without eating much more than the salad that accompanied it. I wondered later if I was being guided not to eat red meat just before firing the grid, or, if I am developing a new sensitivity to eating meats now that I am growing so much.....any thoughts?

I do recal the barest bit of a dream last night in which I was either in a workshop learning something I can no longer recall, or, preparing for something I cannot quite remember...tis puzzling.

Anyway, that was my firing the grid experience

Light and love,

Heather

And then we have this from Carol in Dallas who fired the grid with her yoga class of 11 people:

Your description was so incredibly beautiful. I too went to all those I love and all the amazing places I have been blessed to see on our mother earth. We have truly received more grace than most humans when we start adding up all that we have seen and the wonderful people in our lives. I passed your email on to special people in my life.

And this is from "Pagan Mama" who fired the grid as well.

Oh my gosh, where do I begin. It was awesome. I walked outside at 6:05am. I walked around a bit. I looked at my phone's clock cause I had my alarm go off at 6:11am. When it beeped I turned my phone off and then I walked around my apartment complex. I sunk my feet into the grass, I felt the mud between my toes. I sat down at the base of one tree and just sat there giving my mother my love. I imagined a bluish light coming off of me down through my arms and out through my hands as I touched the tree. There must have been a time where we were all in sync cause I had this overwhelming feeling to cry. So I did, I cried as I held the tree. I cried as I talked to the tree and said prayers and sent good thoughts out into the universe for peace and love. After I cried I felt better. I walked and walked, touching bushes and trees as I walked. I carry their energy with me. I kept telling the earth that I was sorry that other people treat her with dissrespect. I also told her to please let their peace through all the land.

I watched the birds chirp and fly amongst the trees. I met a cat that wasn't afraid of me. The cat had black and brown stripes. I sat down on the sidewalk and petted the cat on it's head and ears. The whole time it kept meowing and meowing.

I sat on some stones and grounded. I stood on the trees roots and I sent my loving energy to them. I kissed every tree that I could reach. I hugged some tightly. Some trees made me dizzy and lightheaded. ::smile:: When I wasn't touching or hugging a tree, I walked down the sidewalk w/ my hands open with my palms facing down so as I walked I put my loving energy into the earth.

I went back to the house, I turned on my phone.. it was 7:30am. I got some money to go get coffee at the corner store. I did not drive there, I wanted to but I did not. I took a trash bag with me and picked up trash along my walk to the store.

I will be forever grateful that I took the time to walk the grid and send my energies to the earth. I even sang to her as I walked.

Goddess Bless us. May you experience our Great Earth Mother's grace & gratitude everyday!!

This last one is from someone here in the Houston area:

Lois,

I too fired the grid! My actual experience was not so extremely moving as what has been set in motion since then. After reading your very inspirational account of what the coming ascension may entail, I asked for guidance and an expansion of my perceptual abilities and I have been greeted with a guide and teacher along that path and the divine reception just keeps on coming! I am very interested in learning more about EDINA and about the coming changes/ascension you wrote about.

Also, I'm sure you have probably solved your electric provider issue by now, but FYI there is a website, www.powertochoose.org, that lists all providers in your area, how they derive their electricity, and all the other particulars. I have Gexa Green and have been very satisfied with their service.

Blessings,

I hope that you enjoyed reading what others have written. And I hope that you will keep in touch.

Bright blessings,
