“It matters not Who you Love, Where you Love, Why you Love, When you Love, Or how you love, It matters only that you Love.” - John Lennon

The new moon will be this Friday, September 22. I like to go to the AstroWisdom site every month to read about the new moon. Lisa Dale Miller, the astrologer, writes about the full moon every month too.

The new moon is a good time for starting new things and for manifesting whatever it is you intend for your life.

I will keep track of the books I’m reading here. I usually have more than one book going at a time.

Currently reading:
I checked The New Diary out of the library a week ago and am enjoying reading it during nearly every spare moment. I’m a long-time journal writer and am having fun putting some of Tristine Rainer’s suggestions into practice. This book was originally published in 1978.


Currently reading:
I just finished reading the first chapter of Jung’s biography/autobiography this morning. I loved the way he introduced his childhood by discussing the visions, dreams, and snapshot memories he had from that time in his life. As to why this is both a biography and an autobiography, one must read the foreword by his editor, Aniela Jaffe. This was mainly her project at first, but he was inspired to contribute quite a bit. I’m enjoying the wonderful, conversational writing style and am impressed by Jung’s allegories.

Until recently I didn’t think much about entities or possession. I never believed in it though I remembered a book I read years ago, Always, Karen by Jeanne Walker, which described how some people new to the afterlife will try to reincarnate by inhabiting the body of another living person. Walker’s book stated that this was an injury to the soul of the person whose body was taken over.

[Note: After looking up Always, Karen by Jeanne Walker at Amazon, I was inspired to write a review there tonight.]

When I first started using a computer bulletin board system back in 1992, I chatted a few times with a young man who claimed that this was the case for him. He said he had another spirit using his body and that at times he had to move aside and let the other spirit take over. I didn’t know what to think about that but this is a fact: one night he said he had a sudden vision of what I looked like, and said I was wearing a red dress and had a streak of gold in my hair. I was startled because I was wearing a skirt and blouse that could have looked like a dress. They were a dark hot pink sort of color. Very close to red! But I denied that I had any streak of gold in my hair. “Yes you do have a streak of gold in your hair,” he said. He was insistent that his vision of me was accurate. I reached up and felt my head and suddenly realized that I was wearing a barrette. I took it out. It was a long, narrow, gold barrette. Definitely a streak of gold!

Yet for years I took this entity possession thing lightly. I read accounts of people who beat their children claiming they were possessed. In one such account a girl was killed. I had a child with behavior problems and the idea that she could have an entity was definitely not something I could believe. I was shocked and distressed that any parent could think such a weird thing.

This year, however, I changed my mind. My new boyfriend studies this and had a collection of books on the topic. This is the second book of his on entity possession that I’ve read. And something else - I’ve learned to put myself into a trance state where I can detect the presence of entities or fragments in myself and others.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the topic. Sagan writes mainly of fragments - bits of the astral body that break off after death and seek a new host. I would love to be able to attend his Clairvision School.


Just finished:
I considered Trust Your Vibes by Sonia Choquette to be a coffee-break book. I enjoyed reading the chapters occasionally while on breaks. It took me a long time to get through this book because I savored the chapters - usually one at a time.

The book is a very easy read - the writing style is friendly and conversational. Choquette has lots of great ideas for enhancing one’s ability to pick up vibes or psychic impressions.

Gary Craig’s most recent EFT newsletter contains this ‘thought for the day’:

“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.” - Confucius

This hits home as I’m starting to study energy healing. I’ve done it naturally on my own at times over the years, but now I’m open to improving my skills by learning from experts, and I’m developing ideas for this healing business.

As part of my training I’m putting myself through a rigorous course of study - mainly on metaphysical and writing topics. I expect this to last for a minimum of five years, so even after I start the EFT energy healing business I’ll continue to learn.

For anyone truly alive, learning never ends.

When I read something like this article about Carmela it makes me want to do something to help the suffering people of the world.

This poor woman was afraid of getting sick and so she shut herself off from the world for twenty-six years. Her brother enabled this by leaving food for her on her doorstep, though he hasn’t actually seen her in ten years.

EFT could have helped her long ago. But this week her brother was unable to continue feeding her due to medical problems of his own, so he had to tell the authorities there in Italy about her plight. And they did the only reasonable thing. They removed her from her home and brought her back to the land of the living.

Only time will tell if this will work out well for Carmela. A part of me wants to cry out that Carmela should be left alone, to arrange her life as she chooses. Yet I see that she is in need of healing and I hope that she’ll be getting the help that will be most beneficial for her psyche.

This is my first post on my new blog here at EFT Joy, and I’m excited about getting this started.

I’m an EFT practitioner in training. I’m learning from the
DVD’s sold on Gary Craig’s site and from practitioners and friends on the web.

My interests in creating this business are to extend energy healing to others, to help those who need it, and to spread the word about how effective and wonderful energy healing is.

This blog will be my record of sites I go to for training, work I’m doing on this site, and new things I’m offering here.
I may also comment on articles and books, especially those relating to my energy healing practice.
