The laying on of stones is an ancient Healing Art practiced by the Mayans, Ancient Egyptians and Native Americans.
•Using a sacred mandala of crystals placed around the crown, you will learn how to facilitate a profound journey into oneness and bliss for others - where emotional, physical and spiritual healing may occur, instantly.
•You will learn how to release all blocks enroute to this state, including the release of; cellular memory, emotional blockages, past or present life trauma, negative energy, entities and interference from any other source.

Cellular memory - the body type, not the phone type - is a memory stored within the cells of your body brought about by a significant physical or emotional event.  This would be a trauma, or moment, so impactful that it permanently imprints itself into the very cellular level of your being.  Most often, the underlying reason this memory becomes imprinted is due to the "feeling" you have at that specific moment in time.  This memory, and its impact, can be one from this current lifetime, or one from a previous lifetime. 

So we go through time/space for whatever our reason, and during these experiences we can have moments of incredible physical or emotional trauma such as death, abuse, injury, curses or encounters that create our cellular memories.  A common misconception is that the "past stays in the past," when in fact, cellular memories stay with you - over and over through all time/space until they are cleared.  These memories  can manifest within your body in a variety of ways, causing you illness, addictions, relationship problems, behavioral difficulties or other hardships. 

So let's look at an example:  you were hung in a previous life and, at the time of your death, there was intense negative emotion connected with the death (not necessarily fear) that created a cellular memory.  This cellular memory could present in this lifetime as chronic sore throats, not being able to speak up for yourself, chronic neck pain - you get the idea.  You try one thing after another to get rid of the physical problem or the troublesome behavior but, nothing seems to work!  You know, within yourself, that no matter what you try to do to correct this issue that there is something deeper, something more, that needs to be done.  That is a moment of cellular awareness where your body is alerting you to your past traumatic events.  So what can you do to take care of this, and clear it, so that this memory no longer affects you?

There are a variety of energy modalities and therapies that can make you aware of your cellular memories. The method that I have found that works for the vast majority of people and, often, takes just one session to discover and completely clear a cellular memory is Crystal Dreaming™.  For Crystal Dreaming™ clients, profound, positive and immediate life changes are the normal outcome. 

So what is Crystal Dreaming™?  Crystal Dreaming™ is a shamanic journey experience where you enter an expanded state of consciousness by lying in a specific mandala of crystals.  Crystal Dreaming™ opens all channels to the spirit world and beyond, facilitating interdimensional travel while remaining fully conscious (bi-location) where meaningful, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing may occur. On this journey a trained, certified practitioner will assist you in realizing and clearing all blockages including: cellular memory, emotional obstacles, past or present life trauma, negative energy, entities and interference from any other source.  You do all the work - you clear the blockages yourself and few, if any, repeat sessions are required.  The wonderful thing about Crystal Dreaming™ is that it not only clears any traumas, but it can enable you to reconnect in full consciousness with your spiritual team or "guides". With them you may explore any aspect of reality, you may discover your life's purpose by integrating your Higher Self, or you may interact with other more evolved beings of light. You may meet with your Guardian Angel, spiritual teacher or the Ascended Master closest to your heart.  Crystal Dreaming™ can bring clarity of purpose to your life and frequently leads to a blissful reconnection with The Source of All.  It presents you with a golden opportunity to consciously align with your life plan or "blueprint" and live in a state of perfect harmony with the rest of creation. Generally, one session can achieve this for you. 

There are countless testimonials from people, who, after experiencing  Crystal Dreaming™, have said, "I've spent xx number of years on treatments (or therapy)," or "I've spent hundreds (or thousands) of dollars dealing with this problem and it was taken care of with just one journey!  If only I'd known!"  To be honest, if I hadn't experienced Crystal Dreaming™ for myself, and how incredible it is and how it leaves you feeling, I wouldn't have believed it.  But, I speak from personal experience.  Crystal Dreaming™ is truly amazing.  It was developed by Raym Richards following a powerfully life-altering encounter with crystals.  Raym tells all about this experience, the development of Crystal Dreaming™, and how the method works in his book Alchemy of Crystals.  I have been personally trained and certified by Raym Richards at the Basic and Advanced levels, which allows me to assist any person who wishes to take control of their life, their health, their destiny, and personal fulfillment.  It is a  process and an experience you will never forget - literally a "journey of a lifetime!"

I know a lot of you will be skeptical about what I have written here.  It's okay - I was a huge skeptic myself, in the beginning.  For those of you who are seekers, though - who strive to find answers no matter how "out there" they may seem - I encourage you to visit my website (www.gotahealing.com) or contact me with any questions or for more information about Crystal Dreaming™.  You can reach me via email at gotahealing@gmail.com or by phone at 208-807-2289.  I'd love to hear your story and help facilitate your journey to wellness through Crystal Dreaming™, or one of the many other services offered at Gifts of the Ages Healing.   We are located in Meridian/Greater Boise area.

It's that time of year again.  The time when, with the closing of the calendar year, and beginning of the new year, that we look both backwards and forwards.  Back through the previous year to see what nuggets of goodness we want to bring forward with us, and what we really want to leave behind (and we all have some of that, don't we?).  Most everyone uses the calendar year to mark their new year cycle, but, if you are one who uses the Wheel of the Year for your new year cycle, you can also find some benefit to reading this article.  Yes, it's already a month into the new year for you folks, but, hey better to start at some point, right? 

So, if you're like me, you kind of dread hearing all about everyone's "resolutions," let alone making my own.  It seems we all make them and then most of them never come to fruition, right?  Maybe it's because we aren't looking at them through the right lens, or from the right perspective.  Personally, the term "resolution" never sat real well with me - it just didn't feel comfortable to me.  By definition a resolution is: 1) a firm decision to do or not to do something; 2) the action of solving a problem, dispute or contentious matter.  Just looking at the definition of the word gave me the feeling of a black and whiteness, a finality, a right or wrong-ness.  Maybe that's why when we "fall short" or don't "hold up" our resolution we feel like we have failed somehow - at least, that's how I felt.  Resolutions seem so concrete and unyielding - either you "do it" or "make it" or "achieve it" or, you don't.  No gray area, no halfsies, no "nice attempt" or "good on you for trying."  Nope - you were successful with your resolution or, you weren't.  That just never felt right to me.  Then it came to me one night lying in bed - what if we didn't look at areas we are less then happy with as an all or nothing resolution, but, rather, as a realization that this is something I need to change or work on.  Hmmmm.... 

Funny, there are two definitions to realization, too: 1) an act of becoming fully aware of something as a fact; 2) the fulfillment or achievement of something desired or anticipated.  WOW!!  Now that was something I could wrap my head around and resonated with my inner being.  There are many areas of my life that I can become fully aware of as a fact: I need to get healthier; I need to help bring more harmony into all lives and the world; I need to lose weight; I need to find more "me" time;  I need to be more present at each moment of the day with whomever is with me; and the list goes on.  Then, there's the fulfillment or achievement of something desired or anticipated.  Oh yeah, just reading that statement of positivity flipped my whole perspective.  It isn't just black and white, like a resolution.  A realization opens a whole world of gray, and color, and possibility, and opportunity.  It made it seem attainable, do-able, possible. 

So I began to look at some of my "resolutions" through this new lens - with a new perspective.  With some reflection, it became pretty apparent to me that it was relatively simple - it all comes down to "awareness."  If you are aware of the changes you need to make (realize what is not working for you), then you are more able to be open to the possibility of change and look for the opportunities that present themselves to help you "realize" that change.  Holy cow - that meets both definitions right there!  It's all about opening up to the possibilities and making yourself aware of when you're being presented with an opportunity to grow or take a step towards fulfilling the change you wish to make.

That may seem like a "boy are you a dummy" or "duh" epiphany, but, it was huge for me.  It took away the dread, the stress, the uncertainty (and accompanying fear of failure) that "resolution" had for me and opened up a whole new road to accomplishment.  I can take each moment that comes and be open to the possibility and opportunity in that one small moment rather than looking ahead to this daunting process.  Hey - doesn't that mean I'm being more aware and present in each moment.  Look at that - I just realized one of my areas I wanted to work on without even trying! 

So, although, it may seem like something so obvious and simple, why do we stick to the same old verbage of "resolution" and not say "my New Year's realizations."  I know that's what I'll be saying from now on, and how I'm looking ahead to the new year.  What "realizations" do I have about myself, and what "realizations" do I hope to achieve in the future year?  No stress, no black and white, no right or wrong, no pass-fail - just limitless possibilities and opportunities.  I'd like to suggest that, if you dread the "resolutions," too, that you change your perspective just a bit, and look at the past year and coming year through the lens of "realizations," instead.  It just might make all the difference for you, as it has for me.  Turn that dread or fretting into hope and enthusiasm.  It makes for a much brighter view!

  Like most people, I have been on an ever-changing, continually growing spiritual and life journey.  It has had many twists and turns along the way, but, it has never failed to bring me ever closer to the Source of All  - the Source of All unconditional love, purest light and clearest truth.  I have spent countless hours studying religions, spirituality, the human body, creation and the cosmos, and various energy healing methods (modalities).  I have journeyed as a daughter, sister, friend, lover, student, teacher, wife, mother and grandmother - sometimes on a direct course, but more often than not blindly and fumbling my way along seeking guidance from many.  I don't have all the answers, none of us do.  It would be arrogant of me to tell you otherwise.  But I have learned a great deal and mastered much during this journey, and if I have learned nothing else, it is that we must each pass on this knowledge to others to make their lives better, whenever possible. 
      So I was born and raised Catholic, and it was during my studies for lay ministry and obtaining my Masters in Pastoral Theology that I experienced my "awakening" to more than being a participant in formalized religion.  I then went through my Christo-pagan phase and re-connected with nature and the Universe in a most profound way.  I dabbled in "green witchery" at which point I realized that I would not find "peace" within any structured religion and "religiosity" was not for me.  So, I have settled into a spirituality that I cannot classify as it is vast and not able to be described in mere words.  It is an essence of being - being present and aware, being here with and for others, being in continuous connection with the Source of All - sometimes just being. 
     I have always been a healer and have always sought out ways to bring healing into my own life, as well as others.  This has meant being a paramedic, a short attempt as a respiratory technician, being a youth and children's minister, learning herbalism and many holistic modalities including Crystal Dreaming™, pranic healing, crystal therapy, energy work with chakras, reflexology, and so much more.  So after some painful life lessons, that both tested and strengthened my spirituality (we can chat at length over tea about this if you'd like), I have established myself as a full-time healer and teacher.  I truly feel it is my purpose, and gift, to help others not only experience their own "awakening," but to help bring about their wellness through the healing arts, spiritual growth, and teaching all that I can to as many as I can. 
     In all of my travels, studies, life journey, etc. I have come to finally accept one universal truth that is so simple it's really like a "smack my head" moment when you get it - it all comes down to unconditional love.  Period.  It's about having an awareness of when you are in the state of unconditional love and when you are out of that state - being aware of my connectedness to Source or not being aware.  That's it!  Simple, true and steadfast.  But boy did it take me forever to get to that realization and accept it.  However, now that it is the very center of my being it is also the center of my approach to all things in life.  Am I perfect at it?  Heck no - I'm human and fallible!  Do I try?  So very hard.  And that essentially is my approach and mission rolled up neatly into two simple words - unconditional love. 
      It is my hope that in all things I do, all interactions with all persons who enter "Gifts of the Ages Healing" that the underlying message and approach will be one of unconditional love.  Now don't get me wrong - I'm not a push over or doormat and I don't run around with my head in the clouds spouting foo-foo and showering glitter.  I am a business person and gifted healer/teacher with her feet firmly grounded on Mother Earth - but one who is always striving to bring that awareness of unconditional love to the forefront, and I hope it is my guiding light in all my actions.
      It is my fervent hope and goal that I can help raise the vibration and wellness of this planet through one person - one interaction - one "awakening" at a time. I love seeing the light bulb go off with the "ah ha" moment of awakening to what the Universe (or Source) wishes to share.  I hope to help every person open to and seeking wellness, growth, and a sense of contentment to awaken to the simple truth that took me so to long grasp - it's all about unconditional love.  I strive to help each person I serve awaken to that simple reality.  My life gains meaning and fulfillment when I am able to empower someone to "do the work" in healing themselves - it means so much more to both of us.
      I truly believe that we go through many lives and we carry forward the emotional trauma not dealt with.  We will continue carrying these specific traumas into future lives until they are resolved.  Once resolved they no longer hold any power over us - no power to cause any "dis-ease" of any type - spiritual, physical, or emotional.  The most profound way in resolving these traumas is through forgiveness - of self, asking for, and giving it freely to others.  I have learned  the ways to do this and want so much to help others, and give them the freedom and wellness to move on in our journeys realizing our fullest potential and thereby enhancing our Highest Self and the Divine highest good of all.
     It is my hope for each of you to have the opportunity to share in my knowledge and gifts so that, together, we can heal each other and, thereby, help heal our planet and all of humanity.  Lofty goals?  Yup - but so worthwhile - and so doable if we do it together.  I hope you will want to join me in my life's purpose and allow me to share my gifts and knowledge with you - here's to a continuing journey and enhanced wellness together!

Perhaps you've been one of the many millions who have recently seen the new Doctor Strange movie.  If you did, were you one of the people who watched in amazement and were excited with what they were watching - or - were you one of the people who sat scratching their head, totally lost, and saying "Boy, that was pure hogwash!"?  I guess it all depends on your own personal level of spiritual development.  If you are a person who has experienced an "awakening," then the whole concept probably wasn't too hard to grasp onto.  However, if you are a person who is among the vast majority of people who have not experienced an "awakening," then you were probably quite lost, confused, and possibly even dismayed at the concept behind the story. 

 The film actually did quite a fine job of showing the reality of our existence.  It began with The Ancient One asking a simple question of Dr. Strange, "What is real?"  It proceeded from there to perfectly capture the "no time-space, all time-space" aspect.  What? No time space-all time space??  What the heck...  Most people, even many who have awakened, see time in a linear fashion.  Time, in actuality, does not exist.  It is a construct of the human mind to help form an order and make some sort of sense out of everything for us.  As a matter of fact, all of the "stuff" around us that we try so hard to make sense of, and place in some sort of order, doesn't really exist, either.  That which we call "the real world" is not real at all. This was something The Ancient One totally understood and tried to "teach" to Dr. Strange. It, too, is all a construct of our human minds.  Our minds show us a chair, or a table, or a mountain because our senses give input to the brain and it then processes this information to give us the conditioned output of "this is a chair, or a table, or a mountain."  It is really just energy which vibrates at distinct and quite different vibrational levels from one another.  Our senses are actually inputting the vibrations and the human mind/brain converts it to information we can process and accept.  What the movie did was bust open that perception of reality and show energy for what it is - vibrations that we are each capable of sensing, tapping into (or harnessing), and utilizing (manipulating) for a specific purpose.  We 'believe" we can't possibly do what Dr. Strange did, so our conditioned, programmed mind follows suit.  When we "believe" we can create our own reality by controlling the sensory input and utilizing it to achieve a specific end result, the possibilities are limitless.

 Quantum physicists have recently stated that what we "perceive" to be the black, vast, emptiness of space is in actuality a highly complex neural-type of network.  It very much resembles the human neural network.  It may be easier to think of it along the lines of a spidery-web network.  When one "string" of the web is struck by whatever means (a new vibration in form of thought, physical object, etc.) it has a rippling effect amongst the entire web.  This is because the entire web is interconnected.  So it is with each of us, each object we perceive as a real object, and the entire "web" of the Multi-verse.  What we do, what we think, has a rippling effect on everything else around us.  Just as Dr. Strange found out with through Mordo - cause and effect, action and reaction, event or choice and consequence.

 Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or more commonly referred to as PTSD, is a real thing.  It is not something someone dreams up for attention, or because they don't want to deal with an issue.  PTSD is VERY real and affects more people than we imagine.  When we think of PTSD we immediately envision a soldier who was in combat and sustained injury or witnessed horrific circumstances.  While that does account for a portion of PTSD sufferers, it is not the only reason.  Anytime a person, male or female, suffers a significant trauma - with or without personal injury - that severely imprints and impacts their psyche - they can develop PTSD.  This trauma can be from a physical assault (sexual or otherwise), being involved in a natural disaster, being in a horrible accident no matter what the type, witnessing torture or trauma to another person, and of course, being involved in direct combat altercations.  There are many scenarios for people to suffer a significantly impactful trauma - too many to list here.  Although many people do get PTSD from trauma, not all people who suffer severe trauma develop PTSD.  Of the people who develop PTSD, not all of them will have it to a debilitating degree or for the remainder of their life.  PTSD is treatable for many and new therapies to help people suffering from PTSD are being brought forward. 

Too often those who develop PTSD keep it silent because of the stigma still attached to this condition.  They feel they should "just be able to deal with it and move on," or they feel an embarrassment at not being able to "do that by themselves."  Non-military, and non-Emergency Provider PTSD affects about 10% of all women and 4% of all men.  When you factor in the military and emergency provider PTSD into the picture, those numbers change greatly.  Military PTSD that is combat related ranges from 11-20% of all combat veterans.  Although that number is high, it is not as high as those who develop PTSD from Military Sexual Trauma, or MST.  The percentage of military who develop MST-based PTSD is staggering:  23% of all females in the military from sexual assault; 55% of women in the military from sexual harassment and 38% of military men from sexual harassment.

 The other group significantly impacted with PTSD are our Emergency Providers - EMS, Fire and Police.  It is estimated that the worldwide average of emergency providers who suffer some level of PTSD is at least 25% of all providers with it being as high as 67%!  These are the unsung heroes, male and female, who risk their own lives for our safety within our own communities.  They witness horrific acts of violence and trauma on a daily basis, and over time, most become desensitized to it.  There are those times, in the careers of many of our providers, when the circumstances are just so overwhelming that it sets the groundwork for PTSD.  I know - I was there myself a few times when I was a paramedic.

 When we suffer or witness a trauma, no matter the cause, so impactful to us that it imprints within our cellular memory, it is there until it is cleared.  It can physically manifest in your current lifetime - the one you personally experienced the trauma in.  Sometimes, however, it manifests in this lifetime from a past cellular memory not yet cleared and removed.  If it is not cleared in this lifetime, it will move forward with you to your next incarnation and can physically manifest is a variety of ways. Through the process of Crystal Dreaming™, cellular memory blockages and traumas are brought to the front, confronted, and cleared - permanently removed and dealt with.  It is a liberating and healing experience beyond measure. 

 To that end - as this is a concern very near and dear to my own heart - I would like to extend an invitation to any veteran, active military, former emergency provider (police, fire, EMS), or active emergency provider the opportunity to move forward - to clear their PTSD and find healing.  If you can provide proof of prior or current service (DD-214, VA card, military ID, EMS/Fire/Police ID, etc.) I will facilitate one full Crystal Dreaming™ session with you for no fee.  That's right - for free - but, there is a catch!  The catch:  you will need to make a donation - in whatever amount you choose - in lieu of the fee.  All monies that are collected, in donation, will be awarded 100% to The Gary Sinise Foundation which provides services to military/veterans and first responders (and their families).  If you want to experience healing and recovery, I urge you to please take me up on this offer.  If you want to know more about Crystal Dreaming™, how it works and what it can do - check out my website: www.gotahealing.com for more detailed information and FAQ's.  The normal fee for one session (which lasts up to 2 hours) is $170.  Again - I will not charge you a fee for this session - instead you will make a donation in the amount of your choosing and all monies will benefit The Gary Sinise Foundation.  I look forward to hearing from you and being able to assist you in a healing experience...
