<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">to Heal, Connect, and Thrive</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8567" src="https://ladybugwellness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Social-media-pathways-to-healing-240x300-1.png" alt="" width="240" height="300" /><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">______________________________________________________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our Pathways<br />
</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">Pathways to Healing offers trauma-informed wellness day retreats designed to support individuals, teams, organizations, and communities in reducing stress, restoring balance, and building long-term resilience.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our work brings together nervous system education, breathwork, reflexology, Ayurvedic head massage, Reiki, energy healing, emotional release, and practical self-regulation tools. Each experience is created to support the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—through a grounded, professional, and compassionate approach.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We provide safe, respectful, and supportive spaces where participants can pause, reset, reconnect with themselves, and learn tools they can carry into everyday life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Whether offered to staff, leadership teams, community members, or wellness groups, our retreats are designed to meet people where they are and support them in a way that feels accessible, empowering, and restorative.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our approach is not about fixing people.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It is about creating the conditions for healing, connection, education, and personal empowerment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Through both group experiences and individual sessions, Pathways to Healing supports participants in feeling more regulated, grounded, clear, connected, and equipped to navigate stress, overwhelm, grief, burnout, and life’s ongoing challenges.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our Corner Stones</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">At Pathways to Healing, our work is built on four foundational cornerstones that support meaningful, sustainable wellness for individuals, teams, and communities. Each offering is designed with care, cultural humility, and respect for the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and lived experience.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We recognize that healing, wellness, and resilience are not one-size-fits-all. Through a trauma-informed and culturally respectful approach, we create spaces where participants can feel safe, supported, and empowered to reconnect with themselves, strengthen relationships, and build practical tools for well-being in both personal and professional environments.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-8566" src="https://ladybugwellness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pathways-cornerstones-300x300-1.webp" alt="" width="419" height="419" srcset="https://ladybugwellness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pathways-cornerstones-300x300-1.webp 300w, https://ladybugwellness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pathways-cornerstones-300x300-1-150x150.webp 150w, https://ladybugwellness.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pathways-cornerstones-300x300-1-75x75.webp 75w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Safety &amp; Regulation</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">Safety is the foundation of all meaningful healing, learning, and connection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our retreats and workshops are intentionally designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and cultural respect. We understand that stress, anxiety, burnout, and workplace overwhelm can affect the body, mind, and spirit. Through grounding practices, breathwork, gentle somatic tools, and trauma-informed facilitation, participants are supported to settle their nervous systems and reconnect with a sense of internal stability.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Through an Indigenous-informed lens, safety also means honouring relational accountability, consent, choice, community care, and respect for each person’s unique story. We do not force vulnerability or healing. Instead, we create a respectful environment where each participant can engage at their own pace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For corporate teams, this foundation allows individuals to feel more present, resourced, and emotionally regulated, creating stronger communication, healthier collaboration, and a more supportive workplace culture.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Release &amp; Restoration</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">Stress and unresolved tension can build quietly within individuals, teams, and workplace systems.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our release and restoration practices offer participants the opportunity to gently let go of accumulated stress, emotional heaviness, mental fatigue, and nervous system overload. Through breathwork, sound healing, energy-based relaxation, reflexology, guided reflection, and restorative group experiences, participants are supported to release what they have been carrying and return to a deeper state of balance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This cornerstone honours the understanding that wellness is not only about productivity or performance. It is also about rest, repair, integration, and returning to wholeness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For corporate retreats, this creates space for employees and leaders to decompress, reset, and restore capacity. When individuals are given time to release stress and reconnect with themselves, they are better able to show up with clarity, focus, compassion, and creativity.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">_________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Empowerment &amp; Education</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">True wellness becomes sustainable when people understand the tools available to them and feel empowered to use them.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We combine experiential healing practices with practical education so participants not only receive support, but also learn how to support themselves beyond the retreat experience. This may include education on the nervous system, stress responses, emotional regulation, breathwork, self-care strategies, burnout prevention, communication, and body-based awareness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Through a culturally respectful approach, empowerment is not about telling people what they need. It is about supporting individuals to reconnect with their own wisdom, choice, resilience, and capacity for healing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For organizations, this cornerstone provides long-term value. Participants leave with tangible tools they can integrate into daily life and workplace culture, helping reduce stress, improve emotional resilience, and support healthier team dynamics.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">_______________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Connection &amp; Community</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">Healing and resilience are strengthened through connection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">At the heart of our work is the belief that people thrive when they feel seen, respected, and connected. Our retreats create opportunities for meaningful connection with self, with others, and with the wider community. Through shared experiences, group wellness practices, reflection, and intentional team-building, participants are invited to move beyond surface-level interaction and into deeper trust, understanding, and belonging.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Through an Indigenous-informed lens, we honour the importance of relationship, community, reciprocity, and collective well-being. Wellness is not only individual; it is relational. When one person feels supported, the ripple effect can strengthen the entire team or community.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For corporate groups, this cornerstone supports stronger relationships, improved communication, greater psychological safety, and a more connected workplace culture. When teams feel connected, they collaborate with more trust, compassion, and shared purpose.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A Holistic Approach to Corporate Wellness</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">Our cornerstones work together to create a grounded and transformative retreat experience. We support teams in moving from stress and disconnection toward regulation, restoration, empowerment, and meaningful connection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Whether your organization is seeking support with team building, workplace stress, anxiety, burnout prevention, staff wellness, or leadership resilience, Pathways to Healing offers a professional, heart-centered, and culturally respectful approach to whole-person wellness.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our intention is to create a space where individuals and teams can pause, breathe, reconnect, and return to their work and lives with greater clarity, capacity, and care.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our Services &amp; The Benefits</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;">At Pathways to Healing, our services are designed to support the whole person: body, mind, emotions, nervous system, and spirit. We bring together a diverse team of experienced practitioners who offer complementary wellness modalities that support stress reduction, emotional release, nervous system regulation, relaxation, and deeper connection to self.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally respectful, and rooted in choice, consent, and safety. We recognize that stress, grief, anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm can be carried in the body in many ways. Our intention is to create a supportive environment where individuals can gently release what they have been holding, restore balance, and reconnect with their own capacity for healing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For corporate teams, community wellness days, and retreat settings, these services offer both immediate relief and long-term tools for resilience, emotional well-being, and healthier connection.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Jackie Rioux</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Trauma Release • Energy Clearing • Emotion Code</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Jackie’s work supports individuals in identifying and releasing emotions, energetic patterns, and stored stress that may be held within the body. Through modalities such as Emotion Code, Reiki, tapping, and energy-based support, Jackie creates a safe and compassionate space for participants to gently explore what may be contributing to emotional heaviness, tension, overwhelm, or disconnection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Many people carry unprocessed emotions from past experiences, grief, stress, trauma, family patterns, or long-term survival responses. These emotions can show up as fatigue, anxiety, reactivity, emotional shutdown, self-protection, or a sense of feeling stuck. Jackie’s work helps bring awareness to these stored emotional patterns and supports the body and energy system in releasing what is ready to shift.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Her approach is gentle, intuitive, and deeply supportive. Participants are not required to relive or retell painful experiences. Instead, Jackie works with the body’s wisdom to support emotional release in a way that feels respectful, contained, and empowering.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Benefits of Jackie’s Work May Include:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Emotional release and relief from stored stress</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Greater clarity and lightness</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Support with grief, overwhelm, and emotional heaviness</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Increased calm and nervous system settling</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• A deeper sense of connection to self</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Support in releasing old patterns, beliefs, or emotional blocks</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• More space for choice, presence, and self-trust</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For workplace and community settings, Jackie’s work can be especially supportive for individuals experiencing burnout, emotional fatigue, compassion fatigue, or unresolved stress. Her sessions help participants soften, reset, and reconnect with themselves in a grounded and supportive way.</span><br />

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Lyndsy McFadden</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Breathwork • Sound Healing • Access Bars<br />
</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Lyndsy’s work brings together her background as a Registered Nurse, breathwork facilitator, life coach, and holistic wellness practitioner. Her approach bridges the practical and the transformational, supporting participants to better understand their nervous system, reconnect with their body, and access deeper emotional clarity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Through guided breathwork, somatic awareness, emotional regulation tools, reflective inquiry, and group facilitation, Lyndsy helps individuals move out of chronic stress patterns and into greater presence, self-awareness, and inner stability.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Breathwork can have a profound impact because the breath is directly connected to the nervous system. When people are stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected, their breathing patterns often reflect that. By working intentionally with the breath, participants can begin to regulate their stress response, release emotional tension, and create more internal space.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Lyndsy’s work supports people in learning the language of their body. Rather than pushing through stress or ignoring what they feel, participants are invited to slow down, listen inward, and develop tools to support themselves in real time.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Benefits of Lyndsy’s Work May Include:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Reduced stress, anxiety, and overwhelm</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Nervous system regulation and grounding</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Greater emotional awareness and resilience</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Increased capacity to manage workplace pressure</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Support with burnout prevention and recovery</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Deeper connection to self, intuition, and inner wisdom</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Improved clarity, focus, and presence</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Practical tools participants can use beyond the retreat<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">In corporate and team settings, Lyndsy’s work can help participants understand how stress affects communication, decision-making, emotional regulation, and workplace culture. Her sessions provide practical tools for managing overwhelm while also creating space for deeper reflection, restoration, and connection.</span><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">🌟 Transform Your Energy with the Ancient Black Pearl Technique 🌟</span></strong></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Are you ready to experience a breakthrough in emotional, physical, and spiritual alignment?</strong></span></em><br />
<em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Gentle trauma release. Nervous system reset. Deep energetic calm.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The <strong>Ancient Black Pearl Technique</strong> is a hands-on, trauma-informed energy balancing method that works directly with your <strong>amygdala</strong> — the brain&#8217;s emotional processing hub — as well as the <strong>nervous, neurovascular, and subtle energetic systems.</strong> It helps your body shift out of fight-or-flight, restore emotional equilibrium, and release deep-rooted stress.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When these systems are soothed, many practitioners describe the experience as helping the body shift from stress and hypervigilance toward a calmer, more balanced state. Within the teaching tradition of this technique, the amygdala is symbolically compared to a black pearl — peaceful, balanced, and resilient. This is where true healing begins.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Whether you’re looking for a deeply restorative session or feel called to learn this technique for yourself and others, you’re in the right place.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is available as:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 💆‍♀️<strong> Individual 90-minute sessions</strong> (in person or distance) For distance sessions, I send an email to make sure you are resting for the duration of session. <a href="https://ladybugwellness.as.me/BPearl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.as.me/BPearl</a><br />
• 📘 <strong>Black Pearl Manual</strong> — Available as a stand-alone purchase. Includes illustrations, reference charts, and supporting information from the workshop. Manual cost may be credited toward future workshop registration.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 📘 <strong>A self-paced online workshop,</strong> where you’ll also learn two complementary techniques: CCMBA and C7VAT</span></p>

<span style="color: #333333;">This session is a hands-on, meridian-based therapy that works with the amygdala, neurovascular points, and energetic circuits of the body.

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>In person:</strong> You’ll lie fully clothed on a massage or Reiki table while I gently hold the meridian points in sequence. Most people enter a deep state of rest — it’s like a healing nap for your whole system.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Distance:</strong> Simply book a time that works for you, and make sure you can rest quietly for the full 90 minutes. I’ll hold the energetic session from my end, then</span> <span style="color: #333333;">I&#8217;ll send a brief check-in email to let you know your session is complete. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Note:</strong> <strong>I am simply the facilitator of this process. <em>Every session is a unique and personal experience, guided by what your body indicates is the highest priority at that time. Because of this, no session notes or interpretations are provided, and sharing a detailed history or list of concerns beforehand is not necessary.</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">🕊️ After your session, it’s ideal to rest, hydrate, and allow space for your body to process. Everyone experiences this work differently — sometimes subtle, sometimes profound.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Yes, this session is just as powerful and effective when received as a distance session.</span></p>

<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">What Is the Ancient Black Pearl Technique?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">A gentle energetic reset for your emotional brain and nervous system</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The Ancient Chinese Black Pearl Technique works on your nervous, parasympathetic, sympathetic and neurovascular systems as well as your amygdala. A delightful combination of meridian clearing and energy healing, it releases deep-seated traumas and stress from these systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This is a calming, meridian-based energy balancing method that supports emotional healing, trauma release, and nervous system regulation. It combines the best of ancient Chinese energy work with intuitive modern practices — designed to relax the <strong>amygdala</strong>, restore energetic flow, and bring your entire being back into balance.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">At the heart of this technique is the <strong>amygdala</strong> — almond-shaped clusters in the brain that govern our emotional memory, fear responses, and survival instincts. Under chronic stress or trauma, the amygdala becomes overstimulated, keeping the body in a loop of fight, flight, or freeze.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This technique gently encourages the amygdala to <strong>relax and recalibrate</strong>, helping it to shrink and soften — becoming like a peaceful<strong> black pearl</strong>. From here, the brain can shift into higher-functioning states of calm, clarity, and emotional resilience.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The technique works with:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 🧠 <strong>The Electric</strong>s — a subtle energy system that connects every cell through tiny electrical impulses (like resetting your body&#8217;s internal wiring)</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 💓 <strong>The Central Nervous System, Circulatory System, and Meridian Pathways</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 🌊 <strong>30+ specific neurovascular holding points</strong> across the head and body to calm, regulate, and release</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Many describe the experience as “emotional acupuncture without needles” — grounding, peaceful, and often followed by subtle shifts over the next two weeks. Some feel immediate calm; others may experience fatigue, restlessness, or emotional waves as energy moves and clears.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Every session is unique — and deeply personal. This is truly a technique that meets you where you are.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">🌀 <em><strong>Please Note:</strong> </em>The effects of a Black Pearl session often continue unfolding over the course of <strong>two weeks</strong>. This is a subtle, energetic recalibration — not a quick fix. You may feel immediate calm, or you may notice changes gradually in your thoughts, sleep, emotions, or energy levels. Everyone processes differently.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">✨ Because of this, I don’t provide post-session notes for Black Pearl sessions. The work goes beyond what words can capture — your body, energy field, and spirit will receive exactly what they need in that moment. Some clients feel peaceful, others feel stirred up, and many experience unexpected shifts in the days or weeks following. <strong>Trust the process</strong>. Your system knows exactly how to receive and integrate what’s offered.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">📘 <strong>Ancient Black Pearl Virtual Workshop</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Discover powerful <strong>Meridian Point Trauma Relief</strong> techniques to balance your energy, calm your nervous system, and unlock deeper soul-level spiritual alignment.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This <strong>self-paced online workshop</strong> teaches you how to facilitate the <strong>Ancient Black Pearl Technique</strong>, a gentle, trauma-informed method that calms the nervous system and helps release emotional stress, energy blockages, and survival-based fear patterns.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You’ll also learn two complementary techniques that work beautifully with Black Pearl:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 🌀 <strong>CCMBA</strong> – Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• 🔷 <strong>C7 VAT</strong> – C7 Vibrational Alignment Technique (a quick-reset mini-CCMBA)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The workshop teaches three related techniques that build upon one another. C7 VAT is a shorter balancing technique. CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) is a complete technique using the CCMBA prayer and head hold. The Ancient Black Pearl Technique expands upon those foundations by using the same CCMBA prayer and incorporating the CCMBA hold as one of its 34 meridian hand positions. This is why these techniques are traditionally taught together.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Whether you&#8217;re a seasoned practitioner or just starting your wellness journey, this course is beginner-friendly and packed with tools you can use for personal healing or to support others.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">✨<strong> No prerequisites required.</strong> You’ll receive step-by-step video guidance, a downloadable manual, and three bonus session recordings for your own self-care.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">❤️ <strong>A Personal Note from Jackie</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Creating this course has been a labor of love — and a journey of personal growth. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Teaching now comes more naturally, but it wasn’t always that way. Years ago, I was the girl who shook behind a podium — now I lead trauma-informed trainings and group demos with a calm (and sometimes hilarious) presence. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Learning how to film, edit, and organize everything online was a big leap. There were moments of doubt (and tech meltdowns!), but I trusted that putting this work out into the world was worth it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">If you’ve read my Milestones story, you’ll know just how far this journey has taken me. 🐞💫</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">With Melissa’s help — including her modeling for the manual! — we rebuilt the training with<strong> clearer visuals, updated info, and added techniques</strong> from my years of experience. This version is far more comprehensive than the one I originally learned, and it reflects everything I wish I’d received when I was first introduced to Black Pearl.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This is more than just a course. It’s a heart project — created to empower others, just like it has empowered us.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">📦 <strong>What’s Included in the Online Workshop:</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Lifetime access to video training modules </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Downloadable manual and printable reference charts</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Step-by-step instruction in <strong>Black Pearl, CCMBA, and C7 VAT</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Three full-length session recordings for personal use</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Optional certification upon completion</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Affiliate program (earn commission when you share the course)</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">🧭 <strong>Course Curriculum Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">A step-by-step guide to learning Black Pearl, CCMBA, and C7 VAT</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">(Accessible through the Thinkific learning platform)</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">1. Welcome &amp; Orientation</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Set your intention for this course and learn what to expect from each section. You’ll also meet your instructor (hi, it’s me! Jackie 🐞) and get a feel for how the content is delivered.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">2. Energetic Foundations &amp; Terminology</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Build your understanding of energy systems, subtle anatomy, the “Electrics,” and the amygdala’s role in emotional processing. This helps you approach the work with clarity and confidence.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">3. Creating a Healing Environment</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Whether you’re working on yourself or others, this module teaches you how to create a safe, energetically supportive space for deep healing — no fancy setup required.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">4. Comparing Modalities</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Explore the differences and overlaps between meridian-based therapies like Reiki, TFT, Eden Method, and this technique — and why Black Pearl stands out.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">5. C7 VAT: Vibrational Alignment Technique</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This short-but-mighty “mini CCMBA” helps reset spinal energy flow and emotional balance. Great as a quick tune-up or session add-on.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">6. CCMBA &amp; CCSMC: Deep Cellular Healing</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Learn the Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment and Soul Memory Clearing techniques — used to release trauma, clear soul-level imprints, and restore natural alignment.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">7. The Ancient Black Pearl Technique</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Step-by-step training in this beautiful, gentle nervous system reset. You’ll learn how to access and work with over 30 specific meridian touchpoints, calming the amygdala and restoring energetic flow.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">8. Identifying Meridian Points</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This is where your downloadable charts and manual come in! You’ll learn to locate and apply each key point in the Black Pearl sequence.</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">💡 For best results, it&#8217;s helpful to have a <strong>practice partner, volunteer, or body-sized doll</strong> for hands-on learning — but solo learners can still absorb the material and revisit with a partner later.</span></em><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">9. Integrating the Techniques</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Learn how to blend what you’ve learned into your existing sessions — or offer Black Pearl and CCMBA as standalone services for clients.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">10. Bonus Session Videos</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Receive three downloadable full-length session recordings you can use for your own healing, rest, and energetic resets — anytime you need them.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">11. Certification &amp; Completion</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Once you’ve completed the material, you’ll receive a certificate acknowledging your training. You’re welcome to offer these techniques in your personal or professional practice.</span></p>

<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: How long is a typical Black Pearl session? Can it be shorter?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A: A full Black Pearl session is about 90 minutes and involves holding 30+ specific meridian points in sequence. While some aspects can be used in shorter adaptations, the full protocol is designed for deep nervous system recalibration. Slow, gentle, and powerful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: Will I receive notes after my session?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A: Not for this technique. Black Pearl sessions are deeply energetic and unique to each individual. I don&#8217;t receive session-specific “messages” for this work — it&#8217;s about supporting your nervous system and letting Divine energy do the adjusting. Just trust what unfolds over time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: What’s this “processing period” I’ve heard about?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A: Most people notice subtle (or not-so-subtle) shifts for up to <strong>two weeks</strong> after a session. This is completely normal — it’s your system gently recalibrating. You might feel lighter, sleepier, energized, or emotional. Be kind to yourself, stay hydrated, and let it flow.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: I bought the course through Vista Radio Half Priced Deals — now what?</span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: Can I get that Half Priced Deal from you directly?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A: I get asked this a lot — the short answer is no. That flash sale is exclusive to Vista Radio’s platform, and I receive full-value credit only when it’s purchased through their checkout. It’s a great deal while it lasts — just not one I can duplicate privately.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: Is there a refund policy?</span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Q: Can this help with anxiety, trauma, or specific conditions?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A: The Black Pearl Technique is not a cure or clinical treatment — but many people report relief from chronic stress, emotional congestion, anxiety, or nervous system overload. It creates space for your body to rest and realign. Every person’s healing path is different, so please use it as a<strong> support tool</strong>, not a replacement for medical or psychological care.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">________________________________________</span><br />

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">More Frequently Asked Questions</span></strong><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">What is the difference between C7 VAT, CCMBA, and Black Pearl?</span></em><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">The workshop teaches three complementary techniques that may be used independently or together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">C7 VAT (C7 Vibrational Alignment Technique) is a shorter balancing technique, sometimes referred to as a &#8220;Mini CCMBA.&#8221; It can be used as a quick energetic reset and introduction to the concepts taught in the workshop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) and CCSMC (Complete Cellular Soul Memory Clearing) are deeper healing processes that focus on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual alignment through prayer, intention, and energetic connection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is a meridian-based energy balancing technique that works with neurovascular points, energetic pathways, and the body&#8217;s stress response systems. Many practitioners use Black Pearl as a stand-alone session, while others combine it with CCMBA and other modalities.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>Can these techniques be used on yourself?</em></strong><br />
Yes. The workshop includes three pre-recorded session videos specifically designed for your own personal use. Many students use these recordings regularly for relaxation, stress relief, energetic balancing, and personal growth.<br />
In addition, many practitioners adapt aspects of the techniques for self-care using intention, visualization, and other approaches. Personal experiences vary, and receiving a session from another practitioner may feel different than self-application.<br />
</span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">Can these techniques be performed at a distance?</span></em></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Yes. Many practitioners report positive experiences using these techniques remotely. As with all forms of energy work, individual experiences and results will vary.<br />
</span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">Do I need previous experience to learn these techniques?</span></em></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">No. The workshop is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Many students incorporate these methods into existing wellness practices, while others simply use them with family and friends.<br />
</span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">What does &#8220;Black Pearl&#8221; mean?</span></em></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">The term &#8220;Black Pearl&#8221; is a symbolic description associated with the amygdala and the body&#8217;s stress-response systems. Within the teaching tradition of this technique, the amygdala is described as becoming calm, balanced, and no longer hypervigilant—like a peaceful black pearl.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Do I need a surrogate for a distance session?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Yes. Because Black Pearl uses 34 hand positions, a surrogate body is used for distance sessions. You do not need to provide one. I use my own life-sized surrogate while you simply Rest &amp; Receive in the comfort of your own home.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">What is the difference between CCMBA and Black Pearl?</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) uses a gentle head hold together with a focused prayer/intention to support whole-person energetic alignment. While the hand position itself is familiar to many healing modalities, the CCMBA process and prayer make it unique.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Why are CCMBA and Black Pearl taught together? </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">During my own training, I learned the techniques separately. Over time, I came to understand that they were originally intended to be taught together because they are closely connected. Both techniques begin with the same CCMBA prayer, and the CCMBA hold is incorporated into the full Black Pearl sequence. That&#8217;s why my workshop teaches them as complementary techniques rather than isolated methods.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Pathways to Healing: Organizer Resources</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thank you for your interest in hosting a Pathways to Healing wellness event.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">This page is designed to provide organizers with practical information about planning a wellness day, staff retreat, community wellness event, or healing gathering.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For information about our team, services, and wellness approach, please visit our Pathways to Healing page.</span><br />
<a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/pathways-to-healing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/pathways-to-healing/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Every event is customized to meet the unique needs of the organization, community, or group we are serving. The information below provides a starting point for planning and discussion.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #000000;">Jackie’s Interactive Presentation &amp; Individual Sessions</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While many people are familiar with hands-on wellness services such as reflexology, massage, or Reiki, my work focuses on emotional release, nervous system support, energy balancing, and practical tools that help participants better understand the connection between their emotions, stress levels, and overall wellbeing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I specialize in providing energy balancing, trauma release, and spiritual clearing techniques rooted in years of experience and intuitive care.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">One of the unique aspects of my work is helping people understand how stress, trauma, grief, and life experiences can become stored within the body and nervous system.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">During a Community Wellness Day event, I can be available for a 15-to-30-minute presentation:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">• Introducing energy balancing, trauma release tools, and self-care techniques</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• An interactively led Tapping (Thought Field Therapy) demonstration</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Take-home handouts for self-care tools like the Court of Atonement and tapping sequences participants can continue using after the event</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Following the presentation, participants may choose to book individual sessions, typically ranging from 10 to 30 minutes depending on the event schedule.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Participants meet with me one-on-one while I intuitively tune into their energy and provide a customized session tailored to their unique needs. These sessions are trauma-informed, fully clothed, and non-invasive, making them accessible for those who are new to this work as well as those seeking additional support.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">One participant summed up the experience by telling her coworkers, &#8220;You need to have a session with her. She does the trauma stuff, and you don&#8217;t have to tell her anything.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While participants are always welcome to share as much or as little as they wish, many appreciate that the process does not require them to relive painful memories or tell their entire life story. Sessions are designed to help release stress, emotional burdens, energetic blocks, and patterns that may be contributing to overwhelm, burnout, grief, emotional fatigue, or a sense of feeling stuck.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">My goal is not to diagnose or fix people. Rather, I provide a supportive space where participants can gain insight, experience emotional relief, and reconnect with their own capacity for healing and resilience.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Communities We Commonly Serve</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our wellness events have been well received in:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Indigenous communities</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Workplace wellness programs</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Staff appreciation and wellness days</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Trauma recovery and grief support initiatives</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Mental wellness events</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Rural and remote communities</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Community wellness gatherings and retreats</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Sample Event Formats</span></strong></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Every event is unique and can be customized to suit the needs of the community or organization.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Examples may include:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Lunch &amp; Learn presentations</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Half-Day Wellness Events</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Full-Day Wellness Days</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Multi-Day Community Gatherings</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Our typical community wellness day runs from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, offering a mix of:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Group education and wellness presentations</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Group activities such as breathwork or sound healing</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Interactive tapping demonstrations </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Individual sessions with facilitators (approximately 20 minutes each) tailored to their needs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Self-care resources and take-home handouts</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Opportunities for participants to ask questions and explore wellness tools</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000000;">We customize each day to suit the community’s needs and welcome input to co-create a safe, accessible, and healing experience.</span></em></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">What We Need from Organizers</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While every event is unique, organizers can help by providing:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• A quiet and comfortable space</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Tables and chairs as needed</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Access to washrooms and water</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• A private area for one-on-one sessions when possible</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Participant registration or scheduling support if required</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• A designated contact person for event coordination</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">We are happy to discuss specific setup requirements during the planning process.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Benefits of Regular and Ongoing Community Wellness Days:</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">To build trust, safety, and consistency within the community, many organizations choose to bring facilitators back monthly, quarterly, or for special events. Ongoing support allows participants to build trust, deepen learning, and continue developing wellness tools over time.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #000000;">Benefits to the Individual</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Participants may experience:</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Reduced stress and burnout</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Increased emotional resilience</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Greater self-awareness and self-care skills</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Trauma-informed support and education</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Practical wellness tools they can continue using independently</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Opportunities to release stress, process emotions, and receive support tailored to their unique needs</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• A reliable and supportive space for emotional, mental, and physical well-being</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Increased confidence in navigating life&#8217;s challenges with greater balance and resilience</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">• Education and empowerment through practical tools that can be integrated into daily life</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Healers, Labels, and Lived Experience: What’s the Difference?</span></strong></h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="color: #333333;">In today’s spiritual and wellness world, there’s a confusing tangle of titles—something I’m reminded of often when clients ask, “So… what <em>exactly</em> are you? Are you a psychic? A healer? A coach?” These questions come from genuine curiosity, but they also reflect how many people feel overwhelmed by the sea of spiritual labels out there.: healer, shaman, witch, psychic, life coach, counselor, intuitive, and more. But not all practitioners are created equal—and not all labels mean the same thing to everyone. As someone who works deeply with energy and intention (but does not identify with several of these titles), I often find myself needing to clarify: <strong>What exactly do I do? And what don&#8217;t I do?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This page is a blend of personal reflection and educational insight, written to help you discern between hype and healing, fluff and foundation, labels and lived experience.</span></p>

<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Where I Stand</span></strong></h3>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="color: #333333;">I was raised in the Pentecostal church and, while I still hold a deep connection to Christian values, my path has expanded beyond the walls of traditional doctrine. Over time, I&#8217;ve come to embrace a more inclusive, spiritually grounded way of living that honors both my roots and the intuitive truths I’ve discovered through lived experience. and still hold a deep connection to Christian values—but not to religious dogma or fear-based control systems. I don’t identify as a psychic, medium, or witch. I work with Light-based energy systems, trauma healing, and intuitive discernment rooted in grounded experience.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I believe:</span></p>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li><span style="color: #333333;">You are your own best healer.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Titles are secondary to integrity.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Lived experience often trumps formal credentials.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">True spiritual work is humble, heart-centered, and accountable.</span></li>

<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">What to Ask When Choosing a Practitioner</span></strong></h3>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li><span style="color: #333333;">What training or lineage do they have?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Are they clear about what they <strong>don’t</strong> do?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #333333;">Do they empower you or foster dependency?  After working with them, do you feel more capable and self-aware—or more reliant and confused? A good practitioner will help you strengthen your own intuition and trust in your path, not keep you coming back out of obligation or fear.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Do you feel safe, heard, and respected?</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Trust your gut—and know that your healing path doesn’t need to be trendy, performative, or expensive to be effective.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="color: #333333;">Choosing a Practitioner — Energy Integrity, Boundaries, and Discernment</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><br />
By Jackie Rioux | Ladybug Wellness</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Energy healing is a powerful and intimate experience — and choosing the right practitioner to work with can make or break your healing journey. Whether you’re brand new to energy work or have had a few underwhelming (or even traumatizing) sessions in the past, this guide is here to help you choose more consciously.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This page is part rant, part reflection, and mostly: <strong>real talk from someone who has lived this path.</strong></span></p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">A Disclaimer — Because This Is a Nuanced Topic</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Over the years, I’ve met and worked with many practitioners — some incredible, some harmful, and many who fall somewhere in between. Just because someone calls themselves a healer does <strong>not</strong> mean they’re safe, skilled, or self-aware.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">That said, even those I’ve personally found difficult or wouldn’t recommend have sometimes served as stepping stones for others. We all carry unique gifts, and even imperfect people can introduce others to the world of healing. But you deserve to choose from an empowered place, not desperation.</span></p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">When You’re Vulnerable, Choose Carefully</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">By the time someone chooses to seek a holistic practitioner, they’re often burnt out, overwhelmed, and feeling like nothing else has worked. This is when people are most vulnerable — and when they’re more likely to ignore their intuition, fall for slick marketing, or be misled by spiritual jargon.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This field is <em>ripe</em> for abuse. It’s unregulated in many areas — <strong><em>especially in the realm of spiritual and energetic work. </em></strong>That lack of regulation comes with both risk and freedom.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Yes, there are many legitimate, regulated modalities such as Acupuncture, Chiropractic, and Reflexology. These disciplines are backed by licensing bodies and legal standards, which offer protection for both the client and the practitioner. But spiritual and subtle energy-based work? You cannot regulate what you cannot see — and attempting to do so could limit the organic, intuitive, and diverse nature of this kind of healing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">That’s why <em><strong>discernment is crucial</strong></em>. It’s important to ask questions: Does this practitioner have certifications? Are they accountable to a recognized modality, group, or mentor? Do they continue to grow and learn — or are they operating on ego and assumptions?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Regulation may not be the answer — but integrity absolutely is.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">That’s why <em><strong>discernment is everything</strong></em>.</span></p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Red Flags to Watch Out For</span></h3>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Practitioners who insist their method is the <em>only</em> way</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Coaches or healers who apply pressure for long-term programs or return visits</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Anyone who dismisses your discomfort or doesn’t clearly explain what they’re doing</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">People who refuse to learn from others (&#8220;I&#8217;m not allowed to read others’ work&#8221;) — who exactly are their guides?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Those who flaunt certifications but lack emotional maturity, life experience, or basic hygiene</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">&#8220;Sexual healers&#8221; who blur intimate boundaries or fail to offer professional credentials</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Energy workers who are constantly tired, sick, or overwhelmed — boundary issues in disguise</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">What to Look For Instead</span></h3>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Practitioners who have <strong>done their own deep work</strong> and continue to walk their healing path</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Those with <strong>clear, healthy boundaries</strong> — both for their clients and themselves</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">People who honor <strong>your autonomy</strong> and encourage you to trust your intuition</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Clean, safe workspaces (yes, I once got lice from a treatment space — not cool)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">A willingness to explain their process, ask for consent, and welcome your questions</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">Someone who <strong>doesn’t try to “fix” you</strong> but instead empowers you to reclaim your own healing</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Not All Healers Are Created Equal — Or Honest</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I’ve heard (and personally experienced) horror stories — from clients having anxiety attacks in Reiki sessions, to unethical social media behavior, to distant healing practitioners partying during paid sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Many people entering this field have a history of trauma — that’s often what draws us here. But not all have done enough healing to hold safe space for others.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The best healers I know are not perfect. But they are humble, transparent, and continue to do their own work. That’s the kind of practitioner I strive to be, and the kind I recommend.<br />
</span>________________________________________</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">When Practitioners Go Too Far into Doctrine</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Sometimes, practitioners who begin with open hearted healing can drift into rigid dogma—espousing one spiritual path, rejecting others, or judging clients based on religious rules rather than soul need. This shift often manifests as teaching that only one approach is valid (“Only Jesus. Nothing else will do”), or labeling tools like divorce, energy work, or personal beliefs as sinful or spiritually inferior. That’s when discernment becomes crucial: a healer’s role is not to convince you where you belong spiritually, but to support your wholeness.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Energy healing isn’t “new age fluff”—many modalities are deeply rooted in biology, neuroscience, and quantum physics. Emotional trauma has measurable effects on the body, and releasing stored patterns can lift our vibration, improve clarity, and help us make more empowered, discerning choices. In my practice, I honour that everyone has their own spiritual path. I am a Christian—but I do not push my beliefs on others. My focus is always to meet you where you are, and support what your soul needs most.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">As the saying goes:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">“Religion is for those who fear hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I’ve walked through my own versions of hell, and I know how vital it is to feel safe, seen, and supported—not shamed. When doctrine eclipses heart-centered care, healing is replaced with hierarchy. So choose a practitioner who empowers your sovereignty, not one who hands you their rulebook.</span></p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">My Own Approach</span></h3>
<ul data-spread="false">
<li><span style="color: #333333;">I ask for permission — including whether clients prefer hands-on or hands-above Reiki</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">I hold strong boundaries and maintain energetic hygiene</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">I work through a Divine Filter, not by stepping directly into your energy field</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">I continue to learn from mentors, peers, and personal experiences</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;">I’ve built a <strong>trusted network</strong> of fellow practitioners that I refer to when someone needs a different fit</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">If I’m ever tagged in a recommendation post, I always say: <span style="color: #000080;"><em>We have an amazing network. Choose someone you feel comfortable with.</em></span></span></p>
<hr />
<h4><span style="color: #333333;">Discernment: How a Practitioner Speaks About Others</span></h4>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">Discernment in the Spiritual Community: Wisdom Without Drama</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Pay attention to how a practitioner speaks about others.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A grounded, ethical practitioner does not need to diminish or discredit others to establish credibility. When someone regularly criticizes, gossips about, or subtly undermines other practitioners, it’s worth pausing and asking why.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">True professionalism is rooted in integrity, humility, and empowerment — not comparison or competition.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A practitioner who feels the need to discredit others often reveals more about their own insecurity than your needs. Healthy practitioners trust their work, respect diverse paths, and encourage your autonomy rather than trying to create fear, loyalty, or superiority.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">In energy work especially, the tone of someone’s words often reveals more than their certifications ever could.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Additional red flags may include:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Frequent negative commentary about other practitioners</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Attempts to position themselves as “the only legitimate option”</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Subtle pressure to choose sides or feel suspicious of others</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Creating fear, dependency, or superiority rather than empowerment</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Private messages framed as “concern” or “warnings” about other practitioners — a subtle form of triangulation that can distort perception and create unnecessary doubt</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Ultimately, a practitioner should expand your sense of clarity and sovereignty — not shrink it through fear, comparison, or subtle doubt.</em></span></p>
<div>
<hr />
</div>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Final Thoughts</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Just because someone is popular, certified, or charming on social media doesn’t mean they’re the right fit for <em>you.</em> Choosing a practitioner is an <strong>energetic agreement</strong> — one that should feel empowering, respectful, and clear.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Whether you’re exploring energy work for the first time or trying again after a not-so-great experience, I hope this page helps you trust yourself more in the process.</span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Ways you can tell a genuine healer-teacher from a false guru<br />
</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
<strong>Karen G Kan November 10 2024</strong><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I began writing this as an introduction to my latest TOLPAKAN Healing Masterclass, Guru Protocol, to help my students Divine Muscle Test whether a particular teacher/healer is a good fit for them. Lately, I&#8217;ve been hearing all sorts of unfortunate happenings with high-profile people. But this became much more than an introduction, so I decided to share it here. Feel free to share if it resonates with you and would be helpful to others.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Empowerment vs. Dependence</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher empower you to heal yourself, or do they give the impression that you are dependent on them for your healing or growth?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A genuine teacher fosters your independence, guiding you to become your own healer, while a false guru may subtly suggest that you cannot succeed without their constant guidance. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Fear of Repercussions for Leaving</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher imply that your spiritual or personal growth will be stunted or halted if you stop following their program or teachings?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true mentor respects your autonomy and encourages your continued growth, regardless of whether you&#8217;re part of their program. They will not make you feel that leaving their guidance means your spiritual development is doomed. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Reactions to Disagreement</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">How does the teacher respond when you express a differing opinion or challenge a belief? Do they become defensive, angry, or dismissive?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A genuine teacher listens with respect and remains open to dialogue, whereas a false guru may shut down conversation or react harshly to maintain control and avoid losing authority. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">“My Way or the Highway” Mentality</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Do you feel pressured to conform to a rigid set of practices or beliefs, such as being told, “You must meditate for two hours a day” or “This is the only way”?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true teacher understands that each person’s path is unique and offers flexibility, while a false teacher enforces strict, one-size-fits-all rules that limit your personal freedom and growth. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Defensiveness vs. Compassion</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When students express challenges or struggles, does the teacher react defensively, or do they respond with genuine concern, offering support without becoming overly involved or codependent?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A false guru may react defensively to challenges, dismissing them or blaming external factors. A true teacher responds with compassion, detachment, and encouragement for self-sufficiency, empowering you to navigate your struggles with grace. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Openness to Other Expertise</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher acknowledge and respect the expertise of others, or do they dismiss or belittle alternative viewpoints, positioning themselves as the ultimate authority?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A genuine teacher values collaboration and learning from others, seeing themselves as part of a larger spiritual community, while a false guru may seek to discredit others in order to elevate their own status. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Focus on the Negative vs. the Positive</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher consistently focus on negative aspects (such as entities, curses, or interference) and magnify these issues, perhaps to the exclusion of recognizing the positive aspects of growth or healing?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true teacher helps you navigate challenges but also emphasizes your progress, strengths, and the positive aspects of your journey, creating a balanced perspective of healing. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Need for the Teacher’s Expertise</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher make you feel like you “need” their expertise in order to succeed, implying that without their guidance, your healing or growth won’t happen?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A genuine teacher empowers you to trust your own abilities, intuition, and wisdom, while a false teacher cultivates dependency and discourages you from finding your own power. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Access to Healing</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Do you feel free to experience healing without requiring the teacher’s approval or permission, or is there a gatekeeping mentality where you need to fill out an application to deserve to receive healing or participate in experiences?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true teacher offers opportunities for healing to all, without creating barriers based on their personal approval or judgment (whether you deserve healing or not). Healing is available to those who are ready, not those who meet certain conditions or pass tests set by the teacher. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Energy Exchange</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">After interacting with the teacher, do you feel inspired, energized, or at peace? Or do you feel drained, confused, or emotionally unsettled?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: Genuine teachers uplift and support their students, leaving them feeling inspired and aligned. A false guru may leave you feeling energetically depleted, confused, or even manipulated. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Focus on Ego vs. Soulful Connection</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher seem to prioritize accumulating wealth or material possessions as a sign of their success, or do they use their resources to serve their greater purpose, supporting their students and empowering their community?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true teacher recognizes that wealth, like all forms of energy, is a tool that can be used for good. They understand that prosperity can flow freely when aligned with purpose, and they do not place undue importance on material gain. Instead, their wealth is a reflection of the value they provide to others, and they share it in service of their mission, including fair and balanced remuneration of their team members. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Manipulation vs. Respectful Guidance</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher make you feel manipulated or controlled, subtly influencing your decisions to benefit themselves, or do they respect your autonomy and allow you to make your own choices?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A false teacher may use manipulation tactics (such as emotional guilt or pressure), while a true teacher offers guidance and support without forcing decisions upon you. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Money &amp; Value-Exchange</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher place an undue emphasis on financial donations, high-cost programs, or expensive retreats as a means of accessing deeper wisdom, or do they present wealth as a natural, sacred energy to be used in alignment with spiritual growth?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: While a genuine teacher may charge for their services to sustain their work and pay their team fairly, they do not exploit their students financially. They see money as energy that supports the flow of abundance and growth, and they make sure that their pricing is fair, transparent, and in harmony with the value offered. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Sense of Fear vs. Freedom</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher create an atmosphere where you feel fearful or uncertain, or do they inspire a sense of freedom and inner peace?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A false teacher often uses fear, guilt, or intimidation to control their followers, whereas a true teacher helps you feel liberated, calm, and empowered in your own journey. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Exclusivity vs. Inclusivity</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher promote an exclusive group or philosophy that claims to be the &#8220;only truth,&#8221; or are they open and inclusive of various perspectives and teachings?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: False teachers often create cult-like environments, presenting their teachings as the sole path to truth. In contrast, true teachers are inclusive and open to learning from different sources. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Overemphasis on Hierarchy</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher place themselves on a pedestal, creating a strict hierarchy that elevates them above others, or do they practice equality, seeing themselves as a guide and not superior to their students?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A false teacher often fosters an environment of hierarchy and control, while a true teacher recognizes everyone as equals in their learning journey, seeing themselves as a facilitator rather than a ruler. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Longevity of Growth</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Do you notice long-term growth, deepening understanding, and a sense of expanding consciousness as you continue working with the teacher? Or do you feel stuck, stagnant, or like you&#8217;re constantly starting over?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A genuine teacher helps you evolve over time, empowering you to access deeper levels of insight and healing. A false teacher might keep you in a perpetual state of dependency without allowing real growth. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Responsibility for Healing</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Does the teacher encourage you to take responsibility for your own healing and growth, or do they make you feel that your healing is solely in their hands?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A false teacher may reinforce dependency by suggesting that only their interventions can heal you, while a true teacher encourages you to claim your personal power and guide your own healing process. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">Hidden Agendas or Hidden Truths</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Is the teacher transparent in their actions, words, and intentions, or do you sense that they hide their true motives or act in ways that feel deceptive or inauthentic?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Consider: A true teacher is authentic and transparent, while a false teacher may operate behind a veil, often concealing their true intentions or acting in ways that seem disingenuous.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Email only, please. 🙂 </span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Why I ask that all client communication be through email only</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Email is universal.</strong> Everyone has it, and it’s required to access almost every other platform anyway.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Not everyone uses (or wants) multiple apps.</strong> Many clients—especially older generations—don’t use texting, Messenger, WhatsApp, or newer platforms.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>One channel keeps me organized and sane.</strong> My squirrel brain 🐿️ works best with <em>one</em> clear, consistent communication stream for all clients.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Privacy matters.</strong> Email is more secure and appropriate for sensitive personal and wellness information than texting or social media messaging.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Nothing gets missed.</strong> Emails stay visible, searchable, and properly filed—unlike texts or app messages that can be buried, lost, or glitchy.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>It allows me to serve you better.</strong> One system helps me stay focused, accurate, and respectful of every client’s time and confidentiality.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Thank you for respecting this boundary.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Keeping all client communication through email allows me to stay organized, protect your privacy, and give each client my full, focused attention. This simple structure helps me serve you—and my growing community—at my very best.</p>
<p><strong>Added note: </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><em>PLEASE book using the same name and email each time.</em></span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
Different emails or name variations can accidentally create multiple profiles for the same person (and I sometimes end up with three or four versions of one wonderful human 😅).<br />
One consistent email helps me keep your notes and scheduling tidy and efficient. Thank you!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong data-start="1462" data-end="1484">Friendly Reminder:</strong></span><br data-start="1484" data-end="1487" /><span style="color: #000080;">I do <em data-start="1494" data-end="1499">not</em> answer health or session-related questions via Facebook Messenger. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">If you have a question, please <strong data-start="1606" data-end="1628">use the search bar</strong> on my website to find topics of interest and answers to your questions, or <strong data-start="1646" data-end="1667">email me directly</strong> so I can respond when I’m at my desk — not while juggling groceries or client sessions. 😉</span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;">Respecting this boundary helps me keep responses clear, organized, and infused with the same energy of care I bring to every session. Thank you!</span> 💖</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><em>Alex Hormozi:</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><em>“If you want to show someone respect, don’t ask them questions you could have researched. This means you spend your own time, ahead of time, to not waste their time.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><em>Not wasting someone&#8217;s time is one of the highest forms of respect”.<br />
&#8220;If you want people to respect your time. Stop giving them so much. Nothing is precious until it is scarce.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">______________________________________________<br />
<em>Original rant and why I choose this boundary:</em><br />
June 2024:</span></strong><br />
<em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">A bit of a technology rant. I am a little frustrated and annoyed here. Thank you for understanding and considering my personal and professional communication requirements.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Re: texting. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">At the beginning of June 2024, my phone texting app crashed. Through my cell phone provider&#8217;s techie assistance, I realized I had two texting apps on my phone. Both glitched and neither worked. I ended up getting a new phone and painstakingly going through numerous old messages to save whatever I could of important and or sentimental messages. I admit I probably should have done this many years ago.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I found that I had lost several stored messages, including some from now deceased loved ones. I didn&#8217;t have another way to back up these years’ old messages. Very upsetting. I am more than a little pissy with the instability and glitchiness of the text apps with regards to something so sentimentally dear to me. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">During my May 2024 trip to the US, I had used my texting app to more conveniently communicate with friends while traveling. Other than this trip, I have insisted for a few years now to have communications through email only.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">My reasons are not only because I am old school and non techie in keeping up with the latest apps and technology. It is more because I have numerous clients who do not have any one universal app for communications.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">You need email to sign into any of these apps. I just prefer ONE stream of communication across the board. For my own sanity!!<br />
Having clients globally, I also take into consideration that some texting and messaging apps may have costs associated with use across borders.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">When I started my business back in 2011, I had clients who would message me through various platforms and sources. I received paragraph long messages of notes meant for their private sessions. Even back then, I had trouble keeping track of which person messaged through which stream of communication. This is frustrating when I need to keep client communications private and secure and, most of all, keep these communications straight! It is embarrassing and unprofessional to ever mix up details between two clients with similar issues and details. Thankfully this has never been a serious issue, but I would like to avoid any potential disasters for sure!</span></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">I do my best to give each client my undivided individual attention. This is super important when you are trusting me, a holistic practitioner, to keep your information in one place.</span></em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">What many people do not realize is that holistic practitioners are human too. As my clientele and business expands, there are many more of you than just me. I want to be able to serve my ever-growing clientele as best I can and this is my main reason for a stipulation and requirement of one universal stream of communication. As of June 2024, my Acuity scheduler has almost 1000 client contacts. This is not including my email contact list. I want to be able to serve each client and contact personally as best I can. I am not yet at a point of hiring a receptionist to handle client communications.</span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Although I have a lock on my phone, take security measures seriously, and my phone is always with me, there is always a potential risk of loss and or hacking. I do not want any client information to ever fall in to the wrong hands. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">So again, texting is not a secure form of communication.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I have right in my website and client intake forms that texting and Messenger notifications are shut off and rarely checked. Even a message of “call me back”, or “I need to change my appointment” are often missed messages here. Email please! My email is open and available on my computer during my working day. I continuously clear out emails and have a method of keeping these communications filed for each individual client.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>On to Facebook Messenger</strong>… Pause while I take a deep breath here… </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This platform has been great for connections in the past and I have several practitioner forums I follow here. In recent years, there have been numerous changes and glitches that have made Facebook and Messenger a cesspool of non sensical censoring, glitching, and spam infested hacking. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have known several people who have had their profiles hacked or blocked, or banned due to some random years’ old posts and or messages with no method of retrieval or explanations of how or why these things happened. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Messenger was yet again “upgraded” in 2024. Now it seems messages disappear or are not synced to devices meaning I cannot see messages the same on my phone as on my computer. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I constantly clear out and delete messages there, using it only for Marketplace messages and family chats with shared humor and jokes etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">For all the above reasons with texting, I despise FB Messenger for important communications.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Yes, there are all sorts of new and upcoming platforms as the digital age expands. We cannot get away from that. I do appreciate digital platforms in that we can have instant connections globally. But, yet again, not everyone has access or choice in use of these platforms. Many of these platforms and apps may have connectivity issues or proprietary restrictions. Some have associated costs to the user.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have several older generation clients who get frustrated with technology and the digital age, and I need to keep my connections with them as simple as possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">There are numerous reputable businesses who restrict their communications to email for all of these reasons and more. I have chosen to keep this as a requirement in my client communications as well.<br />
I will note here that I do use text for service worker communications when needed. That is just how some of them run their businesses. They do not share as much private health and wellness information through their business services.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Added notes on my scheduling platform and phone calls:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">These days it is only occasionally that I might receive a phone call to book an appointment or ask questions. Thankfully in this digital age, most people do visit my website and then book an appointment at their convenience. I do have a few clients who choose the &#8216;session via phone&#8217; option. Sound and notifications are shut off during client sessions to limit distractions. Quite often I am on a Zoom call with a client or otherwise busy so I do not answer my phone every time it rings anyway. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This is not to be rude or off putting to potential clients. It is for our mutual convenience. My voice mail message directs you to my website to answer the most frequently asked questions. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Honestly, most calls to my phone number are spam and telemarketers. Darn frustrating when running a small business. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">It is just much more effective and time saving to take your booking information thru the scheduler than over the phone or email. My biggest reason for loving and living by my scheduler is keeping time zones straight. In order to serve my clients effectively and also respect my own personal time freedom, my scheduler is a life saver. It actually frustrates me when other practitioners do not use an effective booking system. It is an online receptionist and saves time mutually. The biggest waste of time is &#8220;calendar volleying&#8221; back and forth to figure out a mutual agreeable time to connect. My scheduler bypasses this frustration.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I was in an entrepreneurial community for a few years. The most relevant philosophies I learned there and appreciated so much were having a healthy understanding of straightforward integrity, respect for time for myself and others, and respect for boundaries.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Choosing and requiring communication to be through email is just one way I can manage to offer you my best service.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you for assisting me in serving you better by keeping our digital communications to email only.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you! I appreciate you!</span></strong></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #000080;"> </span></strong></em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Ladybug Wellness Newsletter Archive: Here you can catch up on What&#8217;s New with Jackie and Ladybug Wellness</em></strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">There are so many new things going on here with Ladybug Wellness. Of course, you know my website is my outlet and I post more here than on Facebook social media.<br />
I have updated this condensed newsletter archive page so you are welcome to catch up here.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Back in 2019, I started a regular Ladybug Wellness newsletter thru a marketing platform, sending out a monthly email with all the latest news on my personal and professional front. This engagement was a wonderful connection with past, present, and potential future clients. Unfortunately, I dropped that platform in March of 2023. I created this page and space to continue sharing updates and information with those visiting this website.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I do have a new platform as of February 2024. I do not like email spam myself so I tend to keep these newsletters to a monthly email and sometimes a midmonth update as well.</span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
You are welcome to sign up here: </span><br />

<p>💥<strong> New Blog Post: The Empath vs. Narcissist Dynamic</strong><br />
Have you ever wondered why certain relationships drain you — or why some people seem to pull you into their emotional storms? This isn’t about labels. It’s about energetic patterns.<br />
I’ve just published a candid new article unpacking the real root of dysfunctional dynamics between empaths and narcissists — and how healing your own boundaries changes everything.<br />
👉 Read it here<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">I am super excited to be working with Melissa (Honeybee Inspirations) and Lyndsy McFadden (Lyndsy McFadden Wellness) </span><span style="color: #333333;">in collaboration to offer corporate contract services to local businesses and outlying communities for focus on holistic health and wellness.

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Congratulations also to Melissa in collaborating with <strong>Christel at Scarlett Wellness</strong> in offering her reflexology services there a few times a month. I now have Scarlett Wellness listed in my recommended practitioner’s page.</span></p>

Splurging on myself as this is the first time I have bought a NEW bed for myself since age 13 when I used my babysitting money to buy a waterbed.

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Canada Post was having a labor dispute from November 15 to December 17 2024. I did go once to visit my former coworkers on the picket line and bring some baking to them. I usually try to get some greeting cards out to loved ones and clients for the Christmas season, but rather than get myself all stressed out, I opted to forego this courtesy this season. As with the rest of the year, time sped by and Christmas came and went like the blink of an eye. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We had a family dinner and gifts at my daughters home just for a few hours before life was back to regular grind again. New Years was just as quick and quiet.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>I got my first horrible review:</strong> My own fault, but still kinda upsetting. Lesson learned. On December 6, I had a busy day and in between my appointments, I had made a half sarcastic comment on a post in a local social media group. I had a lot of laugh reactions on the comments but when I checked a few hours later, the comments had turned awful in taking my comments way different than I had intended and there was no way to redeem myself. I ended up deleting the thread and blocking a couple rude people. It was three weeks later that I realized I missed a notification that someone left a comment on my Google Business reviews. This person doesn’t know me, has never used my services, just left a review based on a comment in a public group. I was upset at first but, this was a lesson in realizing that not everyone will see me as dearly as my close friends and clients do, nor understand my dark and twisted humor derived from a lifetime of experiences of overcoming my past.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">November 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Our November started with Melissa holding a Basic Reflexology class the first weekend. Congratulations to her students. I appreciate being a model for practicing their skills.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>On November 2</strong>, we had our monthly Tucson Dowsers meeting with guest Raymon Grace. We usually have four admins to assist with the meetings, but two were away so I was in charge of all the techie stuff. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I had originally been asked back in March of 2023 to assist with monitoring the chat etc. as they had had hacker issues. We have not had problems in many months. Of course, with Raymon there is usually a recording breaking high attendance (287 this time!). I did my best other than a couple frustrating hacker issues slipping through. I felt badly, but managed to learn a few new Zoom settings and the rest of the meeting went well. More learning curves for me.<br />
It really is an honor to be a part of the Tucson Dowsers team as they bring in such amazing speakers each month and I always learn something new.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>November 7 2024</strong><br />
I have certain forums and social media pages I follow to have a stream of insights and positivity. One page is Psychic Medium Kelli Miller. I am sharing this particular post as it is bang on for how life seems to be feeling for myself, clients, and seemingly everyone around me. Time to focus on serious self care and raising our own vibration as this is the only effective way to influence the collective positively.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">Psychic/Medium Kelli Miller:</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Thursday’s Reading: During the entire month of November there will be LOTS of changes, so if you’re not used to big changes, then buckle up buttercup we’re going for a ride…and I’m not talking political either. Pluto is changing signs, Mars shifted signs, there is a super, full moon, loads of meteor showers, a frisky Mother Nature, Mercury retro shadow period has begun, and some more solar flares getting mixed in there. This is all about big, massive changes. If you’ve been wanted to leave a marriage, job, family member, home, or anything else, then it’s perfect timing! It’s almost as if we need shook a bit to wake up and realize parts your life need improving, and the bar will get raised. No more playing small, all…time to practice flying with those new wings that you earned. #letgoofcontrol #youwilllearnit #hopefullyeasy #oritllbehard #youlllearneitherway #trytoflysolo #youllbehappier #improveyoulife #despitecircumstances #howbaddoyouwantit #thengogetit #redaventurine #awakenings #psychickelli #riseandshine</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">An interesting imbalance has come up for several clients lately: “Reversed ion exchange”. Earthing is essential to our health and well-being. This means getting our feet in the grass and connecting with the earth. From my understanding, it seems all these weather events globally are affecting the ground and our connections detrimentally. This could be an explanation for all the dull aches and pains so many of us are experiencing due to ascension and astrological energy shifts.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>November 12:</strong> Just a fun thing to take a break from the world for an evening, my daughter Chantelle and I took in the “80s Club” concert at the CN Centre featuring Spoons, Men Without Hats, Flock of Seagulls, and Honeymoon Suite. Our fave, of course, was Men Without Hats. We had the Greatest Hits CD on repeat constantly when the kids were little. Safety Dance and Pop goes the World 😊</span></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">November 26 2024</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">My daughter Melissa, Honeybee Inspirations, has been going out to outlying communities on contract to offer her reflexology services during their wellness fair events. On November 26 2024, I was invited to go with her to a small community 3 hours away to offer Reiki services. Upon arrival I realized this was an addiction awareness event, and many of these residents have experienced extreme heavy losses and trauma. I ended up doing an impromptu seminar speech on the energy clearing services I offer. I also worked with several people sharing trauma relief energy clearing techniques with them. Gratefully there was lots of interest and appreciation for all I shared, and an invitation to return as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I look forward to next time and being able to assist these residents beneficially.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">We are settling into our winter months and heavy snow fall warnings. I am super grateful for having a reliable snow plow service as we have already had them here four times in a week! Check out my recommended professionals here:</span><br />

<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">October 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Highlights from my October:</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I had the honor of taking a third trip to <strong>transport a bear cub</strong> enroute to Northern Lights Wildlife Sanctuary. I love road trips and this is certainly an opportunity for Highway Zen with an incredibly worthy charitable cause. I may dedicate a page in this website to my wildlife experiences.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">We have our <strong>Canadian Thanksgiving</strong> the second weekend of October. Usually try to have a family dinner of some sort. Melissa was going to be away for a reflexology lymphatic drainage training in our hometown Terrace. Eldest daughter was going to visit in-laws. Son Jared was home from camp so we took an impromptu trip to Terrace to have a family dinner with my mom. She will be 80 in 2025. Her closest friends all have chronic health issues and mom admits to being a little lonely. I am so glad we made this trip to spend time with her.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Just days before our trip, my ladybug decals arrived so <strong>I adorned my truck with black spots</strong>! I am having so much fun turning heads everywhere I go now.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Whenever I go home to Terrace BC, <strong>I have a few dear friends that I do my best to connect with in a short time frame</strong>. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Thank you to Lisa, Paula, and Pam for a Denny’s brunch visit. I offered to treat the bill for my friends, thinking I was a big spender, but realized we ordered from the senior menu and the total was only $59.90! We enjoyed a walk around a large field with their dogs, then Lisa and I took a little jaunt to Kitimat an hour away to go check out some thrift stores. Lisa is quite adept at finding treasures. She found a ladybug covered stained glass piece for me! </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Later I had a dinner visit with Ingrid and Dee at the Northern. Ruth and Kerri were unavailable this visit.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Sunday dinner at Mom’s house</strong> included an afternoon visit from Melissa’s in-laws, Art and Diane Collins. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We had Bonnie as our dinner guest, and I had to comment on the wicker cornucopia centrepiece I have not seen in years. Childhood memory unlocked. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It is 573 km from Prince George to Terrace. Our road trip there on Friday and back on Monday was spectacularly gorgeous with all the fall colors with snowy mountains backdrops.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">After my son went back to camp work, Melissa used me as her <strong>lymphatic drainage model</strong>. The same week I tore down my office space in our living room and started moving around all my books. I was so sore and achy! I thought it was because of the reflexology sessions getting my body detoxing, but Melissa assured me it was because of moving all the furniture and books.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><br />
Facebook memories showed that it was 5 years to the day that I had set up the huge office area in the living room. Now that Melissa and I share office space for classes and clients, I had been thinking about re-organizing and moving completely into my Reiki room. It was quite a task downsizing and moving furniture, then go through trinkets and setting up everything again. I do not have much for material possessions, but holy moly I have books, rocks, and ladybug stuff!<br />
<strong>My office area feels much better and more settled now that I am in a more private space. </strong><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">My <strong>computer was disconnected for a few days</strong> in this transition so I got a little behind on emails yet again. </span><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you for your patience in my replies.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">September 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>My September started off with some sad news</strong>. Donelda S. was a friend I met 10 years ago thru a mutual acquaintance. I had just seen her at a distance August 7th at a community event and we chatted briefly thru messages. I had reached out to her September 6th but she didn’t reply which was unusual for her. Social media doesn’t always show everyone’s posts so I went to her FB profile and found an obit post. I had completely missed a post in July where she had been diagnosed with cancer, went for surgery in August and passed from complications August 30. She was always so wonderful with the “perfect gift” for her friends, and I have a pair of Precious Moments/ ladybug figurines that I will cherish in her memory.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The last time I did a <strong>Soul Cleanse</strong> with Theresa Crabtree, was back in February 2021, before Darrel passed away. I have had numerous losses since then, and three more friends this year, as well as many people around me have lost loved ones. All sorts of mortality checks and death triggers. Through this process with Theresa, I addressed ancestral trauma, soul ties, and forgiveness exercises. </span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Time for some incredibly wonderful news:</strong> We have a new patio and deck to our back door entrance, thanks to Christopher and Nick at FNA Services Ltd. (<a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/recommended-service-professionals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/recommended-service-professionals/</a> ) By the way, Christopher is my snow plow guy thru the winter. Be sure to contact him if you need this service as well. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>More good news:</strong> I have hired a new, much more integrous bookkeeper. He is a friend of a friend, used to work for Revenue Canada, and I test high integrity for him and his work. He has already proven to be a valuable asset to my business. Here&#8217;s to caching up two years of paperwork quickly!</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Back Story: I had a horrible experience several months ago having to fire a clown of a bookkeeper I had hired last autumn on recommendation from another local small business. This person charged me over $600 for basically printing a whole lot of paper I didn’t need. A whole lot of miscommunications, miscalculations, and wasted time. No reports or anything to show for the work she apparently did for me. She did some paperwork for Melissa and we found horrid discrepancies. At my Raymon Grace training in May we tested her integrity as minus 90!! Harsh lesson learned.</span></em></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">August 2024<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Ladybug Wellness will be <strong>closed Friday August 9 until Monday August 12 2024</strong> as I attend Sakred Circles Women&#8217;s Festival in Hudson’s Hope BC along with Melissa with Honeybee Inspirations. Melissa will be vending her artisan crafts and offering mini reflexology sessions.

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>UPDATE: Week of August 12 to 17 2024:</strong> I had planned to go to the Robson Valley Music Festival with Melissa as a volunteer and assistant for Melissa’s vendor booth. I had blocked my calendar accordingly, but intuitively felt I needed to cancel those plans. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Instead, my mom and sister came for a visit to celebrate my granddaughter’s 15th birthday. We had lunch at the winery. While here, we also attended the annual local fall fair.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Highway Zen for a good cause:</strong> I had the opportunity to volunteer in assisting transport with an orphan bear cub rescue. A worthy local cause. I had put my name out there in the past but it never aligned in my schedule, plus my previous minivan was not suitable. Now that I have a truck, I hope to be able to assist again as needed.<br />
Update: A week later I assisted again with delivering two cubs and a truckload of donated food for this rescue mission.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>August 15 2024:</strong> This is a mortality check in just how fleeting life can be: I am still reeling in shock along with numerous others in the loss of our dear friend <strong>Kim Littlewood</strong> of “North of 7 Bodywork &amp; Massage”. We met at a business networking luncheon November 9 2023. She was in the process of reopening her massage business and had settled into a new office space downtown. I quite enjoyed massages and friendship with her through the few months I knew her. She was 63 and so vibrantly healthy when we last visited June 13 2024. A week later she called me, distraught and ungrounded. We found out she went for neurological testing soon afterwards, then Vancouver ICU. Such a short time to know her, yet such a powerful impact as a beautiful soul in our midst. She was booked to do some retreats in October collaborating with Melissa and others.. We are all in utter shock in our circles missing her tremendously. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;">My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved her.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It was Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease that took her so quickly. This is supposedly a “rare” one-in-a-million type brain disease, yet a former postal supervisor also passed from CJD in 2018, just a few months after diagnosis.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">July 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I have signed up with a new Facebook group and will be participating in a<strong> “Christmas in July Give Away”</strong>. Look for my post July 11 2024 in this group to draw for a free energy balancing session with Ladybug Wellness. Note a second draw for Ladybug Wellness is on July 29 2024. Watch for the post, then comment on original post to enter. </span><br />

<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">June 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This month has flown by as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It seems I hit the ground running when I returned from my trip to Virgina. I had manifested an amazing birthday trip to go for a Raymon Grace training class. It turned out way better than I expected with meeting long time friends and being in such high vibration energy. I feel like I upgraded myself considerably. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have been busy with clients continuously since returning home May 22. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>I keep saying I have the most amazing people in my life, and the universe keeps YOU showing up 😊 Thank you!!</em></strong><br />
Update: It took a few weeks but I finally shared all my trip notes and the interview replay link here: <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/</a><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you to all those who purchased Gift Certificates from Half Priced Deals June 20. This goes towards our advertising on their radio stations while giving you a deal as well.<br />
</span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/purchasing-and-redeeming-gift-certificates/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/purchasing-and-redeeming-gift-certificates/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Ladybug Wellness will be <strong>closed Thursday June 27 until Tuesday July 2 2024</strong> as I attend Valhallafest in Terrace BC along with Melissa with Honeybee Inspirations. Melissa will be vending her artisan crafts and offering mini reflexology sessions. I will be presenting a “Self Empowerment/ Stress Reduction” workshop Sunday morning at 11 am, sharing some energy balancing techniques you can do for yourself. Please come visit us if you are attending this exciting event.</span><a href="https://www.valhallafest.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> https://www.valhallafest.ca/</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">**Note: free weekly sessions will be sent from this high energy vibe location 😊<br />
<strong>UPDATE:</strong> It was a 7-hour drive to Terrace, uneventful other than some highway construction delays. I did go have a look at the main stage before the festival started, but spent my time mostly manning Melissa’s booth. Reflexology sessions were very well received. I am just going to say there were an &#8220;eclectic bunch of people&#8221; with some wild and wonderful costumes. This festival was likened to Burning Man festivals. Interesting for sure. Music went to 5 am. I had a whole 4 people show up for my workshop. Many more seemed interested but not awake by 11 am. Well received by those who attended though.<br />
The visit with mom was the most interesting as we decided to clean out and organize her treasure chest. Lots of mementoes and treasures, memory lane. I now have a diary from my 6 generation back grandmother from 1879. And I also have the rug hooking pillows I made when I was about 12. Wow&#8230;<br />
Also got in my mandatory visits with Ruth and Ingrid.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Taking notes from my Raymon Grace training experience, <strong>I am starting to manifest a new vehicle for 2024</strong>. Any effective and useful advice and leads appreciated.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have my sights set on a Ford F150, 2020 or newer. Gotta be Ladybug Red and a miraculously LOW cost to me.</span></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333333;">May 2024</span></strong></h3>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">It seems that I blinked and April sped by in a flash….</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Black Pearl course is UP and Fully available!</strong> Please sign up for free previews then full access if you like. Please inquire about affiliate links so you can earn a stipend for referrals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>May 3 2024:</strong> Melissa is settled into her new place, which ironically is the same outdoor appearance and indoor layout as my home office. Through all the stress and drama of moving and assisting extended family as well, Melissa acquired a whole lot of extras stuff to sell and rehome. We had a garage sale May 3 (thank you to all who came out for that), and otherwise we’ve been dealing with buyers on Marketplace. That can be a hit and miss experience with exposing our energy to the public. Sometimes wonderful connections are made and sometimes not. An interesting social adventure all around. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Refreshing spring cleaning heightens our home’s energy nonetheless.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>May 11 to 24 2024:</strong> Ladybug Wellness will be closed and unavailable for client sessions these dates as I enjoy Mother’s Day with my mom and family, then head to Abingdon Virginia to train with Raymon Grace and meet several friends in person that I had previously only known online for many years. I will be celebrating my birthday there as well. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Weekly free group will be sent from my hotel room 😊</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Tuesday May 28 2024:</strong> Vicki Reeve has a dowsing group called Infinite Creators that meets every Tuesday morning 8 am Pacific. Susan Travis and I are both going to Raymon training so Vicki has offered May 28th as a meeting day where we can invite others as we share about our training trip. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Update: It took a few weeks but I finally shared all my trip notes and the interview replay link here:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/</a></p>
<h3><strong>April 2024</strong></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Saturday April 6 2024:</strong> Sad news. My daughter Melissa worked at Great Wall restaurant many years ago (before 2012) and some patrons became personal friends. Since 2015, we have enjoyed regular dinner visits with a dear friend we call Grandpa Jim (Johnson) and his son Doug. “The Warden”, as he calls his wife Jessie, goes to bingo while the men go to dinner, as they live a way out of town. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Grandpa Jim has always proclaimed that he would be around for his 100th birthday and get a commendation from Global News. He has survived so much through his life with some medical issues, and even getting blown up in a propane explosion a few years ago. He is a jack of all trades kinda mechanic, tinkering all the time. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">More recently our dinner visits have been more regularly Friday nights. I would expect a call and meet at 6, usually at Great Wall. After dinner, we have always had hugs and well wishes. Grandpa Jim has had a few more hospital visits these past few months. I had made sure Doug had our numbers to call, and the hugs have been a bit tighter and longer.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">We last visited March 15th. He did call March 29th. I was kinda tired and turned down the invitation, telling him “Next week for sure” because Monday April 8th would be his 90th birthday. We’ve been thinking we would see him then. In all these years, I think I have declined only a few times. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Tonight, I received an upset call from Doug, letting us know that Grandpa Jim suffered a massive heart attack this morning.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Now, I am thinking back to two weeks ago, and realizing that our last hug was a really long tight hug. Maybe our souls knew…<br />
<em>UPDATE: Grandpa Jim&#8217;s celebration April 27th: According to his son, he had been driving, got home, and collapsed before walking in the house. Celebration was a fitting memorial to an amazing man. 90 years is a good life so I guess if you&#8217;re gonna go, that is the best way. Go go go stop.</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">April 7 2024: </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It seems the world is going crazy with this whole total eclipse coming up April 8th. I have been watching videos and following some intuitives/ psychics. The general consensus is that there is a different planetary alignment this time. This can be a portal of all sorts of new ascension energies. This eclipse is all about sovereignty and self empowerment/ age of Aquarius. There is a significant division between those freaking out and those who are more holistic and aware. We have a choice in which way we want to go. I choose the higher vibration alignment and I hope you will too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">What better way to process through these energies than a phenomenal energy balancing session&#8230;I have said I would have the online workshop available soon but got busy with appointments all week and did not get as much done as I had hoped in going through it before a full publish. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I am going to do the Black Pearl technique for my weekly freebie session April 7 2024.<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>April 13: </strong> Client sessions, emergencies, distractions, and daughter moving in the midst of everything&#8230; Plus we have mercury retrograde and eclipse energies tossing everyone through a metaphysical washing machine on super spin cycle. I have been following Jenny Schiltz, Pam Gregory, Victoria Reynolds, and psychic Kellie Miller on Facebook and YouTube. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Humanity is waking up. New Beginnings. Lots of wonderful stuff. Just hang in there!! </span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>March 2024</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The racetrack of 2024 continues with sliding sideways into April it seems.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Highlights this month: </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have solidified bookings for the <strong>Raymon Grace training</strong> trip. I will be flying and landing in Roanoke May 14 to spend a day with Lisa Glennie, a fellow EC/BC practitioner. I have a vehicle rental lined up to drive to Abingdon for the training weekend and allowing time to meet in person and visit with some other friends both old and new before heading back to Roanoke to fly home May 22 2024. Meeting Raymon Grace has been a bucket list thing for me. Wish me luck that I don’t get all sappy and burst into happy tears like the first time I met Dr Brad lol.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>The Black Pearl course is almost ready!!</strong> I have only been talking about it since it seems forever. It is so important to me to create a good learning experience so those interested will make use of their skills right away, not waiting years like I did.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I have this online workshop set on preorder: </span><br />
<a href="https://ladybugwellness.thinkific.com/courses/LBW-ccmba-and-black-pearl-technique" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.thinkific.com/courses/LBW-ccmba-and-black-pearl-technique </a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I just have some finishing touches before I make it visible to all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have 2 Reiki classes over the Easter long weekend, and then I can finish up the online course to make it available. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I am aiming for April 10 or sooner. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This has been a huge learning curve for myself with technology and video editing etc. Plus, just being visible and out there. I am a testament to my own energy clearing to open new doors in personal growth.</span> 😊</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>February 2024:</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I am super grateful for being so busy with clients. I have been rearranging my scheduler and the auto emails to best serve my clients. I have updated the definitions page to add more explanations of session notes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I have been approached and asked by several people about teaching “all what I do”. This has prompted me to consider creating a Master type class program similar to a Master class I took many years ago that was instrumental in my own personal and business growth.</span><br />
<a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/how-people-change/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/how-people-change/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Now I am wondering about creating a class like this&#8230; possibly with Reiki 1 and 2 at either end of a six-month course with an introduction to several other modalities and techniques in between. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I often share information within my Reiki classes anyway, but a longer course type program would allow a much more in depth understanding and learning skills to create your own energetic toolbox.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">If this is of interest to you. Please email me at ladybugwellness@hotmail.ca so I can set this up for the fall of 2024.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Back in October 2023, I was sorely disappointed to realize too late that Amy Jo, her mother and a couple other dear friends went to a Raymon Grace training weekend in Virginia. Trusting Divine Timing, I understood that maybe that was not my time to go meet Raymon in person. I set intentions that I would go in 2024 as soon as classes were announced.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Ironically, there is a class close to my birthday weekend in May. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I am now confirmed to attend, I have several friends that I will get to meet in person as well. Bucket List, here I come!!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Melissa (Honeybee Inspirations) and I work out of the same home office so we often recommend clients to each other. Melissa is a registered reflexologist and she is holding a Basic Reflexology course February 16 to 19 2024 as part of her teacher&#8217;s practicum. It is wonderful to meet her students and be a foot model for their training.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Melissa will also be upgrading her Reiki Master level to Teacher on March 3 2024. Pretty proud momma of all her accomplishments and progress. </span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>September 2023 to January 2024 Highlights:</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I really fell off the wagon with keeping up on sending out an email newsletter or even posting here in the newsletter page. My focus has been on keeping up with client sessions and doing a lot more with videos and my YouTube channel:</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ladybugwellness8509" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@ladybugwellness8509</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have really had to work on my own visibility and progress hang ups as well as a serious focus on my techie skills. Honestly, I freeze when overwhelmed and just shut down and go watch stupid cat videos until I can get focused again.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I have not been doing much with Facebook other than clearing off my information and sharing more within this website instead.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I did some writings in other pages about some personal and professional things going on here over the last few months:</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">September, October 2023:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Navigating the Changes of Life: Menopause and Brain Fog</span><br />

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">My professional highlight of the year, December 2023:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Balancing Hormones: Tucson Dowsers Presentation</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">I am not much into New Years resolutions, but I have been following Alicia Bakowski for a while and joined her 45 day Carnivore Reset group in the beginning of January. This has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself in adopting a sustainable lifestyle. Page coming…</span></p>
<p>I am grateful to Bernice and Carlo for finding me through the Tucson presentation and inviting me to speak for their Meet Up group, Around the Spiritual Fire.<br />
<span style="color: #333333;">On January 24 2024, I presented an introduction to Tapping and Energy Balancing Techniques. This was a small group of 11 people, not recorded.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">I also had the honor of speaking for Dr Jean Logan’s Glyph Empowerment group on February 4 2024. This presentation was recorded and was on the hormone topic again with 25 people in online attendance. I had several new client bookings that day, thank you so much for these connections!</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333;">~ Respecting Boundaries</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">It is almost mid month August and I am finally catching up with posting some Ladybug News. Time flies when you’re having fun, or so they say. Actually, I have learned that as earth energies and our own vibrations rise, particles move faster, so time seems to go faster too. Lots of wonderful things happening this past month.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Solidifying friendships in person:</strong> I met Marnie McBain through a practitioner dowsing group. I have known her a few years online. She travels as a way of living with her son and came through Prince George recently so I was able to meet her in person and visit for almost a week. Such a dear lady!!</span> <span style="color: #333333;">You can find her at Intuitive Butterfly: </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/intuitivebutterfly13" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/intuitivebutterfly13</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Sound of Freedom documentary movie: </span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">Of course, there is a lot of controversy around this movie and it was 5 years in the making with lots of hiccups getting it released. All the more reason to go see it for yourself. Personally, I appreciate the global awareness being stirred up on this important topic. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Marnie and I travelled an hour to Quesnel to watch this movie when she was visiting. There has been enough pressure that Prince George is now showing at the main theatre and the drive in. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">The movie was very well done. Honestly, a couple times I got a little choked up, but nothing triggering. It focused on the beginning of how Tim Ballard started with the rescue of a couple children, then branched out to rescue children on his own and created Operation Underground Railroad. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Trafficking is a lot more prevalent than we think, as the end messages of the movie say, so it is a good chance we all have some history and experiences with it in our own families. It said that there is more human slavery in the world right now than there was when slavery was legal. That is a scary thought.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Local wildlife: Bears and more Bears:</strong> Due to so many wildfires and drought conditions in our area, our local wildlife has been making appearances in residential areas more than I have ever seen in my whole life. Mostly bears, but also some moose. Many sightings in neighboring yards. I also saw one in a field while out on a walk the other day. Please keep a safe distance and do your due diligence in securing garbage until garbage pick up day. If that is not possible, bleach in garbage cans is a good deterrent. Also, fruit trees need to be harvested quickly.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Thankfully there are programs with Northern Lights Estate Winery, Bandstra Trucking, Northern Lights Wildlife Sanctuary to take excess fruit. Please make use of and support these programs.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">A fed bear is a dead bear and I would rather see our wildlife spared of human ignorance and negligence. </span><a href="https://www.bearsmart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.bearsmart.com/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>For those concerned about fires.</strong> BC is a big province. We are in Prince George, the “Northen Capitol’ of BC. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Here is a map of areas affected:</span> <a href="https://www.emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/current-wildfire-information-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/current-wildfire-information-2023/</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you to those sending emails of concern about the wildfires. </span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">We are in Prince George BC and safe, thank you. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">There is much concern over those in affected areas though. There are practitioner dowsing groups doing what they can energetically to assist. </span> <em><span style="color: #333333;">If you are a dowser/ prayer warrior, particularly ask to remove the spirit of greed and fire, then install spirits of peace, love, life force energy, and healthy ecosystems.</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Manifesting 101 with Ladybug Wellness:</span></strong><a href="https://youtu.be/EqF4k3vXo40" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> https://youtu.be/EqF4k3vXo40</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Some good things are happening in my world. I love living in a world of synchronicity. </span> <span style="color: #333333;"> I found some new to me curtains for my home</span> <span style="color: #333333;">I hired a contentious handyman who fixed my fence gate, installed a new sink, and installed curtain rods for my new curtains. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">I won three gift baskets from the senior centre draw where we held the Positive Vibrations fair last month. Thank you to all who came out to see us.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">I won $10 on a lotto ticket. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">I found someone who was able to transplant our apple tree to a much more spacious home. This warmed my heart because I did not want to just cut it down when it outgrew our tiny space. </span> <span style="color: #333333;"> I am having fun manifesting good things, but we really do need to watch our words and intentions. My high school friend Paula always posts amazing food pictures. I often have joked that she should come cook for me. Well… She came to visit Thursday August 3 and went to leave Saturday morning, but her vehicle broke down. We had a BC Day long weekend here, so no one available to fix her vehicle. She ended up staying 4 extra days! We enjoyed her visit and …. Yes, I had a personal chef for a few days. Good thing she loves cooking and I love food.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Creating your own holistic business:</strong> So many people are becoming more awakened and opening their own spiritual gifts and are now ready to share their gifts with others. I have had numerous questions about creating your own holistic business. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Here you go: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/creating-your-own-holistic-business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/creating-your-own-holistic-business/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Back to School.</strong> Children (and adults!) thrive on routine and organization because it brings a sense of boundaries and freedom. I highly recommend FlyLady control journals to assist you with school preparations:</span> <a href="https://www.flylady.net/d/control-journals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.flylady.net/d/control-journals/</a> <span style="color: #333333;">Also, groceries are expensive and good nutrition is essential brain fuel. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Have you heard of the </span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Flashfood app</strong>? I personally have very limited apps, so you know this is a good one if I recommend it! This is a discount item app from Superstore and affiliate Loblaws grocery stores. Download app and set up. We check this app several times a day for new additions. Use my code to receive a discount on your first order: JACKXSZV</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Order items, complete purchase, go to customer service for your items, and walk out. That&#8217;s it! Quick and easy! </span> <span style="color: #333333;">We have filled our cupboards and freezers with items off Flashfood.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Interviews with Influential People: </span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">It started with Reiki Students and grew to include other Influential people. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">We now have Raelene Coss, Melissa Rioux, Lyndsy McFadden, and Mila Sharma</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAEMmf8JDxSfsNaujAM-raOF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAEMmf8JDxSfsNaujAM-raOF</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Note: Since Lyndsy’s interview, I have participated in a <strong>Kambo Ceremony</strong> with her. I plan to interview her again to share my own testimonial experience. This has definitely been a journey in self care for me. I skipped out on a rock concert, opting for a quiet rejuvenating weekend of reflection instead. If anyone knows me, this is significant.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Black Pearl Training online:</strong> This has been a long time coming. I have most of the videos done, and I have signed up with the Thinkific platform. Now it is a matter of putting it all together. I am slowly embracing technology here so I can serve you better. I do hope to have this ready for purchase sooner than later.<br />
</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Note: With the launch of online training availability soon, I will be <strong>offering Black Pearl as the weekly free session,</strong> probably the September 3 weekend. I know my group participants will appreciate this powerful technique!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Ladybug Wellness will be closed</strong> August 24 to 28 as Jackie travels to hometown Terrace BC for a celebration of life. Free Weekly group session will still run that weekend.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Update:</strong> We had a nice “day at the beach” at Lakelse Lake picnic site as a Memorial gathering for Tyler, a friend’s son that my kids grew up with. It was nice to see so many people I have not seen in many years coming together for a BBQ and sharing memories and stories. During this trip to our hometown, I visited with Kerry P. (Andy’s sister) and my long time bestie “Big Sis” Ruth.<br />
We spent an extra day on Sunday to go up to the Nisga’a lava beds and enjoyed Gingolx fish &#8216;n chips, taking my mom and sister with us as well. A long scenic drive and I did some of my group session there 🙂<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends and Happy 4th of July to our American friends</strong>. Freedom and independence are what life is all about, isn’t it? Outside factors like jobs and responsibilities can make us feel tied down, but energy balancing can bring about a sense of inner peace and a positive attitude no matter what we handle in our lives.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">I am so grateful for my energy balancing knowledge and skills because life here is on a definite continuous upswing. I have YOU to thank for all the good things happening in my life lately.</span></p>

<span style="color: #333333;">~ Summer Fun Tips and Suggestions</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Happy almost summer!!!</strong> We have been enjoying a few weeks of sunshine here in Northern BC Canada. We’re just itching to get out and enjoy it while it lasts since we only get a few months of it here. End of school year, summer parties, road trips, yard clean up, and garden planting…</span> <span style="color: #333333;">What was that, Garden planting? Jackie??? </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Yes! If you know me, you know I have great skills in many areas of life, just not with gardening. I mean, I love flowers and fresh produce gardens, but this has not been a skill for me. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Last year Melissa took on gardening and did quite well. She has moved to another home though, and left me with some raised garden beds. I am trying my luck with some peas, cucumbers, and spaghetti squash. Thanks to our family friend Grandpa Jim for some of his bedding plants and shared knowledge on this new venture for me. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">I am going to do my best with all my energy balancing skills focused on raising some flowers and plants around here.</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
Here is what we have going on for June 2023:<br />
</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Court of Atonement Certificate:</strong> I received my COA course completion certificate last week. I have many trainings and certifications behind me, but this one really choked me up with happy tears. It has been a long time coming, and it is truly life changing to have this Court of Atonement technique so easily available to all of humanity.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Aligning with Divine Timing:</strong> I had gotten myself quite behind in completing the COA certification course. The course material was not hard… I just had things going on, lost my focus and my inner Scrat got flung off his hamster wheel…</span> <span style="color: #333333;"><strong>How did I get back on track?</strong> I aligned with Divine Timing. How? Intention and Raymon Grace dowsing techniques.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Go here: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/trusting-divine-timing-everything-happens-for-a-reason/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/trusting-divine-timing-everything-happens-for-a-reason/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>May Updates:</strong> Last month, I mentioned Moonfest, road trips and a practitioner retreat. Most went well, Moonfest was amazing! Road trips were great.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Unfortunately, the practitioner retreat was cancelled but I took advantage of an opportunity to go to a healing fair in Vanderhoof instead.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">I was able to meet and chat with many new people and like-minded souls at both Moonfest and the Heart and Soul healing fair. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Since I have been creating these newsletters in my website, rather than an outside platform, I am able to update through the month. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Black Pearl Sessions and Training:</span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">Since I offered a FULL Black Pearl session as my free weekly session back in March, I have had much interest in training and personal sessions as well. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Melissa and I have attempted to align a training date that works best for those interested. We have a training date coming up next weekend, June 10 2023. We have deposits in and looking forward to sharing this incredible powerful trauma release technique with new students.<br />
</span> <span style="color: #333333;"><strong>UPDATE:</strong> This class went very well. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Congratulations Marlee Kolody and Nina Glasgow on your CCMBA/ Black Pearl certifications.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Please watch for more updates as I plan to offer more virtual trainings.</span><br />

</span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
I wanted to promote my Reiki students and their businesses so I put out an invite for interviews. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Here is the first one:<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">Spring is in full swing here in Northern Beautiful British Columbia. We having been enjoying some warmer days in the past week. Some big changes are happening on the Ladybug Wellness front. As you can see, the May 2023 newsletter is a little different this time. See Marketing Platform changes at the bottom of this page.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #008080;"><em>“Once you realize that all comes from within, that the world in which you live is not projected onto you, but by you, your fear comes to an end.” Nisargadatta Maharaj</em></span><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">That’s why knowing yourself is the beginning of freedom and wisdom. Understanding the concept of standing in our own truth is the key to navigating through the human consciousness shifts so prevalent in our world today. I am doing my part in healing myself, and in turn assisting my clients to find their own inner peace and freedom.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Have you found your life and soul purpose? Are you embracing your own self worth in offering your gifts to the world? Energy balancing can bring clarity and synchronicity to assist you in making discerning choices in creating your best life.</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Let’s get to what is new here, and offer some things to look forward to in May 2023!</span></strong></em></p>

<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>UPDATE: May 8 2023:</strong> Moonfest was AHHHHMAZING!!! Mark your calendars for the next one, last weekend of September 2023. The next Moonfest promises to be even more spectacular with an expanded day festival as well. </em><em>We had so much fun! Thank you to the incredible Birgit Allgaier for facilitating this spectacular event. We mingled with like minded souls and were led through workshops that stirred our souls and rejuvenated our spirits. Breathwork with Lyndsy, a lusciously yummy taco feast, a cacao ceremony, a fun dance fest of twerking to such fun music – I got my daily steps tallied in a new fun way. Several of us spent the night chatting around a campfire with newfound friends. Some of us curled up for a short snooze (I am sure I entertained Birgit with my deep sleep snoring lol), then returned for morning Yin Yoga with Melissa and finished with a painting workshop. The next Moonfest promises to be more expanded into a day festival as well. </em></span> <span style="color: #000080;"><em>I was pleasantly surprised to experience a kombucha drink that I absolutely loved, quite unlike a purchased variety that turned me off of this splendid natural refreshing drink.</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">May 6 2023: Tucson Dowsers Webinars</span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">The incomparable Amy Jo Ellis will be the speaker for our May Meeting!!

</span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Note:</strong> Beginning May 2023, only the last 4 recordings links of Tucson webinars will be available publicly as the rest have been moved to the member’s section. Only $45 US to support their presentations as a member.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">A worthwhile investment!

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Court of Atonement Certification course:</span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">The last 2 months have been intense for me in completing this 6-week Court of Atonement certification course. The material itself is not intense at all. The course is laid out well with a video, some reading and an exercise or assignment each day. I was away in March and got behind, but I aligned myself with Divine Timing, did some manifesting work and got myself caught up quickly. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">Court of Atonement is a spiritual and soul level energy balancing technique, so it is energy healing on a much deeper level of consciousness that anything else I have ever worked with throughout my healing and personal growth journey.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">The reason it was so intense for me personally is because the progress through this course had me unexpectedly revisiting some past upsets, connecting the dots, and realizing just how those upsets had affected me and my life path in detrimental ways. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">I am so grateful for having been able to work through these issues. I have met and connected with some amazing people within the course, and some new clients as well. I love synchronistic connections! </span> <span style="color: #333333;">This course has highlighted profound insights daily, enhancing my skills and knowledge to share with you.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">On a personal level, I have been revisiting past traumas, healing this past on a much deeper intensity and upgrading my energy on an extraordinary new level. I have been seeing these shifts in all of my clients as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This course is intended to run again later in the year. <strong><em>I highly recommend taking this course for yourself!</em></strong></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Ask and Receive Technique</span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">Through the FCOA course assignments, I connected with Sydney Shepard. I enjoyed connecting with other practitioners and how they shared their unique skills and experiences. Sydney shared with me another modality she uses called “Ask and Receive”. Simple yet profoundly amazing! </span> <a href="https://askandreceive.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://askandreceive.org/</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0eCYZeG3l4&amp;t=2s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0eCYZeG3l4&amp;t=2s</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Astrological Influences:</strong> </span><span style="color: #333333;">Communication issues, misunderstandings, website glitches, internet disconnections and a whole lot more sirens and accidents… What is going on in the world? Whether we choose to embrace “astrology” or not, these planetary influences do seem to have some scientific merit in how they affect humans and the world around us. This is a good time to focus highly on self care and conscious awareness to navigate through these intense energy shifts.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>Mercury Retrograde:</em></strong> April 21 to May 14 2023</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Does this &#8220;full moon on steroids&#8221; astrological phenomenon affect you and or those around you?</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Time to develop our awareness and: REcharge, REjuvenate, and REnew!</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Here is an article I wrote about it:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/mercury-retrograde/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/mercury-retrograde/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>Full moon: </em></strong>May 5 2023: First responders know to amp up staff on these busy nights. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>Pluto Retrograde:</em></strong> May 1 to October 10 2023: This one is new to me. As I understand, this phenomenon effects are more internal, psychological, and emotional. The planet named for the God of the Underworld will challenge you to check — and ideally address — your own toxic, negative, and self-destructive behaviors, patterns, and belief systems.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">When Pluto goes retrograde, it forces us to focus on our own personal shadow sides &#8212; specifically, the unpleasant parts of our personalities that we may not really like. Two big themes that Pluto likes to highlight are power and desire.<br />
</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Now, isn’t this what energy balancing is all about? When things get crazy in my life with misunderstandings, electrical and internet issues, and me just being moody, I know it is time to focus on me and balance my own energy so I am not as easily triggered and affected by outside influences.<br />

<span style="color: #333333;">************************</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">My dear friend Lisa G, under the pseudonym Anna Joels, has recently authored an incredible book that is a game changer for our young people.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>LIFE SKILLS FOR TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS:</strong> HEALTH EDITION; GAIN ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR WELL-BEING IN A SIMPLE AND STRESS-FREE WAY, INCLUDING POWERFUL, INSPIRING JOURNALING PROMPTS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH</span> <span style="color: #333333;">by Anna Joels (Author)</span> <span style="color: #333333;">Get your copy here: </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTB6MVD1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTB6MVD1</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Marketing Platform Changes:</span></strong> <span style="color: #333333;">My website has always been and will continue to be a self empowerment resource for you. To keep up with a growing business and client base, I have been using a streamlined marketing platform to be able to connect with you once a month, just collective reminder of all things new and relevant in your continued connection with Jackie and Ladybug Wellness. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">I am all about keeping a high vibration level of consciousness, positivity, and integrity while still keeping humbly real and authentic. I appreciate being able to connect on a personal level with you and will do my best to continue to be personable and approachable. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">In the big corporate world of automation, some elements can be quite advantageous to embrace, while others are not aligned with authenticity and my personal values. </span> <span style="color: #333333;">You may have noticed that I send out a monthly newsletter, and yes, I cram as much information as I can into this once-a-month connection… Usually sent out at the end of the month. Unfortunately, the marketing platform I have been using for the last three years has recently made some detrimental changes and is no longer aligned with my needs and values for my business. In my opinion, aligned more with greed than customer service. I was not able to get this newsletter sent out by April 30 as intended as the marketing platform website was glitching badly and customer service was negligent and rude in their efforts to resolve issues.</span> <span style="color: #333333;">If you have read Power vs. Force by David Hawkins, you will understand my conscious awareness of integrity in business and the levels of consciousness scale. This being said, I have removed all of my data and all of your contact information from this platform and will endeavor to find a different, more aligned platform in the future. All relevant information from past newsletters will continue to be integrated into this website for your continued access and interest.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"> <em>For now, where there is a will, there is a way and the newsletter this month is being sent out via simply email with a link to a special new website page. </em></span> <em><span style="color: #333333;">I do have the automated appointment scheduler emails going out to clients regarding confirmations, reminders, and follow ups, and these go to the weekly group participants as well. Please watch these emails for any news flashes that may be of interest.</span></em> <em><span style="color: #333333;">I am still Jackie Conduit at your service, sharing my own experiences and learnings to encourage and inspire you!</span></em> <em><span style="color: #333333;">See the site map, news tab, and search bar for a more organized list of website content. Trust your own intuition to find information relevant to you.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Review us on Google: </span><a href="https://g.page/r/CfI_79-jVmxpEB0/review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://g.page/r/CfI_79-jVmxpEB0/review</a><span style="color: #333333;"><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="entry-title"><span style="color: #333333;">The Road Towards a Happier Life</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Life is an open canvas. You are free to paint it with whatever color is to your liking. However, you are not the only painter on this canvas. Other people also have a remarkable effect on what you become and this can either be good or bad. Through and amidst the many fluctuations of life, a person can find himself down-trodden and in distress. Sometimes the pains of life are so much that people give up and give in. They begin to live cloistered lives that lead to even deeper anguish and suffering.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Through all these, one can find inspiration in the humble lady bug. Her red color blazes with hope and inspiration, with freedom and happiness, with the potential of a fuller and more satisfying life. This site invites you to take the plunge in the numerous materials and resources that it offers. These can help you in your journey through self-discovery and self-empowerment. Take a leap of faith and try out the different techniques and methods suggested in this site and they may well be key in improving the holistic wellness of your life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This is your space. Ladybug Wellness is dedicated to you and your well-being. It provides various resources on topics such as energy healing and energy psychology, which are alternative methods of self-betterment removed from mainstream knowledge. These methods have been tried and tested by a large number of people and they have all responded positively to it. This is your chance to try them out. This is your opportunity to unlock the potential that has long been hindered by traumatic experiences of heart ache, by unresolved feelings and emotions, and by negative people who have constantly lambasted your self-esteem. This is your opportunity to be free.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">With the diverse wealth of resources highlighted in this website, the hope is for you to find the methods or techniques that will be most attuned to what you want. Maybe with it you can finally find the strength to leave the job you have long been dissatisfied about or to make the necessary changes in your life that will push you towards a more positive outlook and direction. There are so many possibilities that this site can open for you if you give it the chance. It is amazing that such a treasure trove of information can be accessed so easily—that a more fulfilling life can be reached by a click of a button.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">In the end, one must remember that the canvas of life, even if it can be tainted by the effects of other people, still belongs to you. You decide the fate of your life. You choose the roads that you trudge. You discern the direction that you walk on. This website is built around that exact notion of self-empowerment—beginning with the self and ending with the self in the hope of bettering the self.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Inspired by the elegance of the ladybug and motivated and pushed to help you, Ladybug Wellness though promises you a life you can be proud to live, a life that you will be happy to live.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">As there is so much information in this site, I invite you to check out the site map here: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You are welcome to book in appointments any time you are ready to take this step towards your own self empowerment:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.as.me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.as.me/</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #003300;"><em>A man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, “How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened </em><em>with so many sharp thorns?”. Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom it died.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"><em>So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects and neglect to water the rose within us, and eventually it dies without realizing its potential.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #003300;"><em>Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the rose within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.</em></span></p>

<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Boundaries and Permissions</span></h3>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">~~ Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously. Prentiss Hemphill ~~</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>Consent, Identity, and Third-Party Bookings</strong></em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">For everyone’s safety, privacy, and energetic integrity, I work directly with the person receiving the session.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">Energy balancing sessions cannot be booked, commissioned, arranged, or authorized by a third party on behalf of another competent adult — even with good intentions, even if you are paying for the session, and even if you believe the person would benefit.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">The person receiving the session must personally contact me, provide consent, and participate in the intake process themselves. My professional relationship is always with the recipient of the session, not with the person making the referral or payment.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">✔️ This applies to Zoom, phone, and email sessions.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">✔️ Parents or legal guardians may arrange sessions for minor children.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">✔️ Adults must personally request and consent to their own sessions.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">✔️ Spouses, partners, family members, friends, employers, practitioners, and caregivers cannot book, authorize, or surrogate sessions for another competent adult.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">This policy exists to protect privacy, personal sovereignty, informed consent, and energetic integrity. Just as a healthcare provider cannot ethically treat an adult patient based solely on a third party&#8217;s request, I cannot ethically provide energy balancing services without the direct involvement and consent of the individual receiving the session.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">To be clear: I do not perform surprise/gifted sessions, proxy sessions, surrogate sessions, or third-party-requested sessions for unaware or uninvolved adults.</span></em><br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><em>If you would like to support someone, you are welcome to purchase a gift certificate or refer them to my website. They may then contact me directly if and when they choose to proceed.</em></span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">*************************</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Permissions is a touchy subject in most practitioner forums.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">If you are the legal guardian of a minor child or dependent adult, yes of course, you can book an appointment for them.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">However, I would be booked for months on end, for years to come, if I accepted every single request for working on a loved one just because someone meant well in wanting to help their loved one by asking me to intervene and do an energy balancing session as a third-party type session. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Let’s stop and discuss this, shall we?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Would you like one of your loved ones to ask a practitioner to step in to your energetic space and to take control in whatever they think is best for you? Probably not. This oversteps boundaries, permissions, ethics, and your loved one’s dignity. Seriously.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Let me know if your family doctor will allow you to have a surgical operation in place of your loved one. Doesn&#8217;t work, does it? It is a similar concept with energy healing techniques. It should be private with your practitioner. It is also a liability issue for ethical business practice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">“Well, my loved one gave me permission to do whatever I think is best to help them”. This is a rebuttal I hear a lot. Just because YOU have permission, does not give me permission to overstep their boundaries and intervene on your behalf. Also, for energy work to be most effective, a person should be an active participant in their own healing journey. If we try to do things on their behalf, we may have some permission from their higher self, but their conscious mind may veto any work done and that is their right to free will. It is just a waste of time and resources for myself and for you as well to intervene where it is not welcomed wholeheartedly. We cannot save someone who is not willing to take accountability for their own healing journey. Period. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Ethically, when we work with paying clients, yes, we definitely need permission to do Emotion Code/ Body Code energy clearing. The notes I provide do not make any sense to anyone except the person intended and these are still private notes.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">In Reiki we are taught to ask permission because energy healing only goes where it is invited and welcomed anyway.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Let’s look at why you think it is so important to work on your loved one because they are hurting in some way, they are annoying you, or (gasp) they are TRIGGERING you!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Every person in your life’s path can teach you something about yourself, because every one of them are your mirrors. Every person that annoys you, makes you mad, or whatever reaction you may have, is showing you an unhealed part of yourself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Yes, I know full well this is a hard concept to grasp when your life is in the middle of shambles with loved ones. I have been there myself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">You are welcome to encourage your loved one to book an appointment for themselves. I do work with a lot of family individuals as long as they respect each other’s boundaries in working with me. Please do not ask me to get in the middle of family rifts to mediate. Yes, I have had that happen. Just no. I will gladly work with individuals and you can sort out your own family drama. Quite often, each family member will raise their own vibration through energy healing and situations will dissipate on their own.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Knowing that others are our mirrors, it is best to work on ourselves FIRST. You’re welcome to book an appointment to work on yourself and your own issues with another person or event. Imbalances associated with your loved one may come up to clear the unhealed parts of yourself that are being triggered.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Laws of detachment:</span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Allow others to be who they are.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Allow yourself to be who you are.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Don’t force situations. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Solutions will emerge. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Uncertainty is reality. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">Embrace it.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">You can detach yourself and still hold space. Detachment is not uncaring, it is merely self preservation and self love so that you can focus on your own journey without being sidetracked by others.⁠</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;">“One of the most loving things you can do for another person is let them make their own mistakes, learn their own lessons and endure in the contrast of a life they don’t really want. People only really change when they’ve hit rock bottom – sometimes the most loving thing you can do for a person is to let them and be there to help pick up the pieces. Permanent change comes from within, no one can give it to you.” – Jackson Kiddard</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">****************************** </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Many years ago, I showed up in tears at a counseling appointment. The guy I had been dating at the time was being a jerk and we got in a disagreement just before my appointment. Caught up in all that drama, I was crying when I arrived at my counseling session. I told my counselor “He did this &#8212;-, he got me upset, and he made me cry”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">My counselor kept asking “He did what?”. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Honestly, I was darn frustrated with this counselor asking “he did what?” when I clearly explained “he did this and caused me to cry”.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">It took me a long time to realize just how emotionally and spiritually immature I was back then. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">What this ‘jerk’ had done was an event, it was ME who assigned meaning to this event and to cry over the situation. No one can “make” me cry. It was my choice to cry over this event. (I also realized I had extremely poor boundaries in dating a guy that was so “unequally yoked”). </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">This counselor offered an analogy to explain his point: If someone throws a baseball at you, are you going to let it hit you, or are you going to catch it then decide how to respond with the ball in your hand?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Put another way, if someone gives you a gift. Do you have to accept it or can you give it back or throw it away? Most often we think we have to accept gifts, that we are guilted into accepting gifts. </span><span style="color: #333333;">This is a disrespectful concept to yourself and to others. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">What if the gift is being triggered to uncover your unhealed parts so you have the choice to heal them?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The gift may be anger, resentment, frustration, or a whole range of other emotions. When you can see it as a baseball or a gift, it is a bit easier to avoid having it knock you off kilter and to choose how to respond in a better way.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">*******************************</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">For individual sessions, ethically, I need direct permission from adults or the guardians of minors. There is so much talk in our forums of permissions, it is a fine line but I do my best to accommodate where I can. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have had a few cases where a husband, wife, or adult child has given me permission via video to do a session for them through talking to their assigned family member. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You telling me that I have their permission is not direct permission from them to me. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Please refrain from attempting to put me in this position because it will come out in the energy of the session if a parent or other loved one is interfering or otherwise being overbearing. This causes a multitude of issues. Work on yourself first and encourage loved ones to book in for themselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">There are always some exceptions to the rules of permissions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">For my own family, I have taken liberties quite often in working on each of them and they are okay with this, often asking for my assistance. They do work with other practitioners on their own terms and with their own permissions. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I am well experienced in mothering with my own four kids and five grandkids. We always want what is best for them, but once adults, we really need to disconnect those entanglements so they can be their own person. There was a lot of martyrdom to work through in my own family line to get us to a healing point for our family, and I do find this dynamic with a lot of families.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The Sunday group is a way to add family and loved ones etc. to feel like we&#8217;re doing something for them and takes me out of the permissions equation as energy goes only where welcomed. Plus, there are no private notes here.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I do work with a lot of family members, but all separately so they can have their own privacy and sovereignty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">You are welcome to go through my website and take recommended courses as I have done and then to do your own energy healing for your family and loved ones. Take liberties yourself, just make sure you’re not being a spiritual bully.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">As long as it is with the good intention of being &#8220;unattached to outcome&#8221; healing, then their higher self would most likely accept the healing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It will either help and work, or do nothing. Again, just make sure you’re not being a spiritual bully in trying to change things out of your control. Trust your own intuition and guidance.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Yes, I know that is frustrating. My own family has some estranged members and some not aligned with energy healing. I have to consider that in working more on myself and my own triggers instead.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">I had a horrible relationship with my father. I found out he was on his death bed when my sister asked me to do something. I did. I have no idea if it helped directly, but he did live two more years.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Raymon Grace often talks about his dowsing methods that if he can change the energy of a serial killer, he is not going to go up to them to ask permission, he&#8217;ll just do it. This is my view in working on community group issues like jails and court houses or persons who are a detriment to society. We’ll never know if anything we did had an effect on a person or a situation, but at least we can feel like we did something to assist bringing peace. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">At a leadership conference, we did an exercise where we were paired with a stranger and had to disclose a personal story. We were told that there were tissues available, but the person telling the story must be the one to reach for the tissue, if needed. The person listening was instructed to not touch the storyteller, not to hand them a tissue, and not to attempt to console them by telling them, “It’s okay” or other trite statements. This exercise was to teach us about boundaries and respect for another person’s healing process. When we intervene, we often stunt their healing process.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We cannot help someone who does not want help. Period. We do not know someone else’s life journey, their experiences, their denied aspects, or their deep dark secrets. When we push too much or do too much for others, we are inadvertently encroaching on their dignity, their independence, their sovereignty, their life lessons, their chance at developing their own coping skills. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We may be enabling them to be dysfunctionally dependent. Martyrdom does not serve anyone. This is also called being a spiritual bully.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>Energy boundaries are real, my friend — and so are legal ones. If you’re an adult, you’ve gotta give your own permission. I don’t do third-party bookings unless you are the legal guardian of a minor.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>No sneaky surprises, no “my mom booked this for me,” no “bestie signed me up.” If you’re not able to hop on Zoom or the phone, that’s okay — we’ll reschedule until you are. This is about your sovereignty, your safety, and your choice.</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>Boundaries are self-care — for me and for you.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">**********************************</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">What I find most effective in working with loved ones, is Court of Atonement. Since this is a soul level intervention, we can use Court of Atonement calls as much as we like, because this still respects the free will of all persons and works for the highest good of all concerned. But again, Amy Jo often talks about working on ourselves first, and not being a spiritual bully.</span></p>
<p>***********************************************************************</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Working With Family Energy Through You</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">One of the most common questions I receive is whether I can work on a client’s family members, conflicts, or dynamics through the person sitting in front of me. The short answer is: yes — but only in specific, ethical ways.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I follow the same privacy expectations as any wellness or healthcare practitioner. That means I can only book private sessions for you, or for minor children in your direct care. Adults must request or give permission for their own sessions. This keeps everything clean, ethical, and legally sound.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">What I can do:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When I work directly with you, we often uncover inherited patterns, miasms, subconscious programs, emotional residues, and family-line energies. When these come up, balancing them can naturally ripple into your lineage — past and present — and may support any relatives who are open and willing to receive that healing on a higher-self level.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">In other words:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I work with your energy. Your family may benefit, but I can’t override anyone’s free will or act as their practitioner without permission.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">This is not something we force or control. It’s simply how energy works when family lines are intertwined.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>A Real-Life Example</strong><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I have a long-time client who regularly books General Clearing sessions (Emotion Code plus additional trauma-informed techniques). Most of her sessions focus on inherited family patterns. Over time, she has noticed significant and unexpected shifts in both her immediate and extended family — simply from the work we did through her.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">Another client experienced a major change after a distance Black Pearl session where “loved ones” were included in the intention. A few weeks later, a relative voluntarily quit drinking. She later purchased the Black Pearl online workshop so she could continue supporting her family herself, and she still shares her story with others.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">While I never promise these outcomes, these examples show how powerful indirect lineage work can be.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Where the Boundary Stays Firm</strong><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I cannot provide private sessions for another adult based on second-hand permission. Even if a family member gives you permission to get a session on their behalf, that still does not give me permission to work on them privately. Just like booking a doctor’s appointment, a person must contact me directly to request their own session.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;"><br />
The only exception used to be my Sunday group sessions, but this has now changed for clarity and simplicity:<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Updated Group Session Structure</strong><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">For the remote Sunday group sessions, you now create your own private intention list for family members or loved ones you’d like included.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You do not send me these names, and I do not add individual people.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">This keeps the energy clean, the process simple, and the permissions assumed on your end — not mine.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I send clearing energy to the group as a whole, and it goes only to those who are open and willing to receive. Your private intention list stays between you and your higher guidance.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Other Options</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Relationship Sessions</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">These focus on your role, your patterns, your nervous system responses, your relationship style, and how you interact with others. We are still working with you, but it often improves the harmony, communication, and energetic ease within your relationships.<br />

</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Black Pearl Sessions</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Black Pearl is profoundly gentle and powerful. Even when outcomes don’t directly shift someone else’s behavior, they can support your nervous system and well-being in a major way.<br />

</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Your Own Tools</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You are welcome to use my YouTube mini-sessions or Raymon Grace–style clearing with a list of names placed in front of the screen. Many clients find this helpful when formal sessions aren’t possible.<br />
<a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAFR1yZ-MVRcOOFftVTzF2fD&amp;si=qL7zzJMgTDWIDM_9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAFR1yZ-MVRcOOFftVTzF2fD&amp;si=qL7zzJMgTDWIDM_9</a><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>The Heart of It All</strong><br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">I know it’s painful to watch family members struggle — especially our children or partners. In the Court of Atonement teachings, and in energy work in general, we learn that the most effective path is always:<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">Work on ourselves first.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">When your energy shifts, your environment shifts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">And when inherited patterns clear in you, the ripple often reaches further than you expect.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">___________________________________________________________<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Love this explanation from Pam Kratt: </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Boundaries</strong> &#8230; does not mean putting up walls, it means you are showing people where your door is and asking them to knock. It is loving yourself as much as you love others. Children thrive on boundaries and knowing what they can do and can&#8217;t do as expectations are clearly set &#8230; why wouldn&#8217;t adults thrive also with boundaries?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">A boundary is an imaginary line that separates us. It separates your physical space, your feelings, needs, and responsibilities from others. Your boundaries also tell other people how they can treat you – what’s acceptable and what isn’t. Without boundaries, people may take advantage of you because you haven’t set limits about how you expect to be treated.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">There are many different kinds of boundaries that we can have. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">1. Spiritual</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">2. Relationship</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">3. Financial</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">4. Physical</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">5. Emotional</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When we increase our confidence in setting those boundaries in addition to shifting our energy our energetic boundaries for each of the above is better defined and felt by those around us.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">From this shared post, we can see that working on ourselves is the best approach to improving the world around us:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">How are we influencing those around us?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Dr. Hawkins was a psychiatrist, spiritual teacher and director of the Spiritual Research Institute here in the US. In 1994 he wrote the book &#8220;Power Versus Force.&#8221; In this book he presents “The Map of Consciousness” a chart of vibrational frequencies and their characteristics, which he derived using applied kinesiology on thousands of people over 20 years of research.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Here are the characteristics of some of the frequencies he found:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">People who express emotions like anger, grief shame, and hate are vibrating at a frequency below 200 hertz (Hz). Courage comes in at 200 Hz. Love starts at 500 Hz. Enlightenment is 700 Hz and beyond</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">He also found that the higher frequencies had an exponential effect. Higher frequency people affect lower frequency people more powerfully than the other way around.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">According to Hawkins:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">One Person vibrating at a frequency of 300 Hz or above will counterbalance 90,000 people operating at 200 Hz or below!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">One Person vibrating at a frequency of 500 Hz or above can counter balance, for the collective, three-quarters of a million people operating at 200 Hz and below!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">One Person vibrating at a frequency of 700 Hz or above can counter balance, for the collective, 70 million people operating at 200 Hz and below!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">You could be that one person.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>Parul Khanna May 14 2025</em></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>After repeated mis-steps, here’s what I have realised:</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>You have to be RUTHLESSLY SELECTIVE about who gets access to you or whom you give your 100% energy to, especially if you cherish authenticity &amp; deep connections.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Personally, I have reached the stage where I can no longer entertain insecure people, with half-hearted energy, shaky intentions, or people who can’t meet me at the standards I have set &amp; I live at.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Only those with solid character, integrity, emotional maturity, and the courage to show up fully, they get a seat at my table.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>And honestly?</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>People like that are so rare.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>It’s wild how scarce true alignment is.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Well, I believe that’s the cost you need to pay for keeping your peace, your power, &amp; your standards intact.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>So stop playing small!</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Stop shrinking to fit into places that don&#8217;t deserve you.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Stop choosing people out of loneliness, fear, or habit.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Stand so grounded in your self-worth, that only those with real strength, depth, and integrity feel aligned enough to come close.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>This is something I&#8217;ve experienced &#8211; when you’re at ease with who you are, the right ones don’t just appear, they gravitate towards you. And the connection? It&#8217;s effortless, mutual, and empowering.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>That&#8217;s the connection worth keeping!</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>As for the others? Let them be!</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Let them judge you!</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Let them have their opinions.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Because honestly, if they truly mattered to you, they’d already have a place in your life or your heart.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>They don’t!</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>So why give weight to their judgment?</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Their opinions hold no power unless you hand it to them.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>What matters is how you value yourself.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>When you’ve done the work, elevated your standards, and show up consistently at that higher frequency, you simply won’t settle for anything less in others. And if someone can’t meet you there, it’s not your job to shrink or question your worth.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>So, move on without guilt, &amp; without delay.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>As is, it was never about you not being enough. It’s about them not being aligned with what you’ve grown into.</em></span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;">If you said YES to even one item above, then we’ve got to talk about Boundaries.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When we allow others to violate our boundaries, or when we violate our own boundaries, we are doing so by bulldozing ourselves and abandoning our own personal truth. Boundaries are simply a sense of self that defines you VS others. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This requires that we spend enough with ourselves to become aware of what our boundaries even are. We need to be able to feel safe enough to do this, without fear of consequences, or being “consumed” by the other people around us.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">One way that you can find improvement right away is with my Free Healthy Boundaries Guided Meditation. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Tealswan.com/meditate</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This meditation teaches you how to be present with the truth of how you feel, and cultivate a sense of self, even in the face of opposition.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span style="color: #000000;">Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are. Rachel Naomi Remen</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000000;">Compassion, Kindness, Appreciation: The Immune System of the Self. Steven Stosny</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">You’re thinking about booking an appointment, or have just booked a session, now what?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The absolute number one thing to know before booking a session with any practitioner is to choose someone that YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH!!!! A good practitioner will never be offended or coercive if you choose to work with someone else. This is so important that I have an entire page devoted to pointers in choosing a practitioner: <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/a-choosing-a-practitioner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/a-choosing-a-practitioner/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Please do have a look through the Site Map tab at the top of this page.</strong> I endeavor to put as much information as possible into my website to answer general questions and encourage people to do some work themselves if they would like to do so. Please see the “What is Energy Balancing” page for a great basis explanation as well as the Do It Yourself section.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You are always welcome to book a full appointment and see what I can assist with in clearing your energy with you.</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #000000;">There is enough information in this website for you to decide if you would like to work with me. To save some time and questions in how I work with you, this page is to share relevant information to know before your session.</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We all have spiritual gifts, and to open our gifts, it is wise to find the techniques that most appeal and work for you in your own journey of learning and healing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Results are not guaranteed. You are responsible for your own actions. </span><span style="color: #000000;">My ideal client is someone who takes responsibility and accountability for their own healing journey and choices in life.<br />
(Also see this page regarding booking appointments on behalf of loved ones: <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/boundaries-and-permissions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/boundaries-and-permissions/</a> )</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I am not a fixer; I am a facilitator. My purpose is to guide you to transform your overall wellbeing from the inside out. You are ultimately the one doing the work.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">*** To maximize your session time, please familiarize yourself with the information in this website. Answering numerous inquiries daily is a courtesy I gladly extend to those interested in energy balancing modalities. I add my answers to this website regularly.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">However, if you have more personal and private concerns, I highly suggest booking an appointment. You are welcome to use your session time asking questions, or you can find answers through this website so we can get down to the real work within your session time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Please note, in respect of my time, your time, and the time of other clients, I offer this disclaimer as well:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em>I am not a certified counselor, and therefore cannot and will not offer advice on your situation. This website is full of resource suggestions that you can choose for yourself. </em></span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"><em>However, I am more than happy to discuss <strong>BRIEF</strong> personal details pertaining to your energy balancing session with me. If you require a certified counselor to discuss your situation in depth, I am happy to recommend some reputable contacts.<br />
(Medical diagnoses and numbers details of your tests are irrelevant to me, that is not my expertise. Energy balancing addresses symptoms). </em></span><br />
<span style="color: #000080;"><em>My services are limited to empowering my clients with energetic balancing to enhance their overall healing journey.</em> <em>Your energy will tell me everything we need to know to work through your concerns, known and unknown. </em>***</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Scheduler: After 26 years of being on an employer’s schedule, I looked forward to retirement and making my own d*mn schedule. Running a business though, requires a schedule to be able to serve clients effectively. Several years ago, I had manually booked several clients in one day, all different time zones. I screwed up on one. After that I set up an online scheduler for my own sanity. I have programmed it so I can have my private life and still serve clients effectively.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This being said, I kindly and respectfully say “your crisis is not my emergency”.<br />
🚨 Emergency Policy<br />
1. Please consult your medical professional first.<br />
2. Book the next available session time to hold your spot.<br />
3. If you’re unavailable, I can offer an email session.<br />
⚠️ For my own self-care, I no longer accommodate last-minute emergency sessions. Please respect that my calendar books up quickly and I will honor your scheduled time.</span></p>

</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Still here? Wonderful. Yes, I am quite blunt and you will find this straightforwardness through all of my website. This is my filter and I believe that when I am authentic you can then better decide if you and I will be a good fit to work together.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Cancellation Policy:</strong> Time is a valuable commodity. Early cancellation will give another client timely access to schedule. To ensure the best possible service, a minimum of 24 hour notice is appreciated. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">________________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How I Work with Clients: </strong><br />
Now that we have all the above out of the way, I will give you a simple run down on how I work with clients for General and Specialty Energy Clearing Sessions.<br />
Please see Site Map for pages explaining Reiki and Meridian Point (Black Pearl) techniques. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">First off, I work on myself every single day as part of my own energetic self-care so I can be in the best frame of mind to serve my clients effectively. This does not mean that I am perfect in any way. It means that I actively address my own issues so I can serve my clients in the best way possible to the best of my abilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If ever I am feeling “off” or in any way “under the weather”, I will reschedule your appointment so I am not sharing any “bad energy” with you. Thankfully, I work on myself so much that I have not had reason to reschedule client appointments very often at all.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I have had many trainings (see list in certifications page), and I have several years of experience in working with clients. I have developed my own unique toolbox of energy healing techniques in how I work with clients. The main thing is that I “follow the energy” in allowing your energetic mind and body to show me what is best to address and resolve in our session time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I am a dowser, meaning I use a pendulum to find and clear energies. If you are familiar with Raymon Grace, I use many of his techniques incorporated into my toolbox. I also use applied kinesiology, otherwise known as energetic muscle testing, to find and correct imbalances.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I prefer to keep things super simple. I always intend to align with Divine Truth and only work within the space of Divine Light. I also intend to remove any personal influences to the answers I receive on your behalf.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I am a Christian. I do not push my beliefs on anyone. However, in energy healing, we recognize a “higher power”, whether you want to call this Source, Creator, God, Spirit Guides, Higher Self or whatever your chosen terminology. I am used to saying “God” so please interpret this in your own words as needed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The Ladybug Wellness YouTube channel</strong> has a video explaining how I connect with clients through a Divine Filter concept rather than being in their personal space. Many energy modalities suggest that a practitioner step into or become their client energetically during a session. I find this extremely invasive and disrespectful of a client’s personal boundaries so I will not work with a client in this way. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">This Divine Filter keeps me as just a facilitator and allows your body to do its own healing work. See video here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efIj-bSKIPM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efIj-bSKIPM</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I add your concerns, if any, to notes in session and just trust that we are clearing anything that is activated and ready to clear. I always ask to &#8220;activate and illuminate&#8221; anything we can address within our session time and I find this assists in bringing up as much information as we can address in one session.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In energy healing, we work with symptoms not diagnoses, and in doing so we can get to the root imbalance and the original cause of issues. Energy healing is not a replacement for traditional medical and psychological care, but it can greatly enhance every other method of resolution out there. For serious health concerns, please ensure that you have support from your medical professional.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You may have symptoms such as sleep issues, aches and pains, recurring nightmares and thoughts, or anxiety and stress in various situations. Each of these imbalances can be addressed and often fully resolved with energy healing.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I open sessions with Court of Atonement which is like a Divine Filter in itself and helps to set a peaceful tone for the session. I find that this spiritual intervention technique clears a lot of non-beneficial energies, and allows my client to get grounded and ready for their session time. See the Court of Atonement pages in the site map for more information.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I have extensive charts, word lists, and other information to use during sessions, plus my intuition has proven to be quite accurate in what comes up in client sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I am always picking up new terminology from other practitioners and forums, etc. I can explain some terminology used, but how it applies to you and your lineage is personal and unique to you so I cannot explain that for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The beauty of this work is that you do not have to share any details at all. Sometimes we just can’t put feelings into words. Your deep dark secrets can be gently uncovered and balanced without ever having to disclose anything or re-live the experiences. I am not a certified counselor, so I do have to offer that as a disclaimer, but you are welcome to share anything you feel comfortable sharing if you feel you need to say something. I have had my own experiences, and know of so many case studies that nothing shocks me, so you have that reassurance and safety net here, if need be.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">While it is important to be “heard” in a counseling session, I find that “acknowledgement” is more important in an energy balancing session.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If there is something you want to address without details, you can give me a code word that you know is related to, or associated with, the upset and we can clear issues that way. I had a professional lady years ago that gave me one word, it may have been a name or a thing, and floodgates opened with all sorts of imbalances. To this day I have no idea what it was that we cleared for her, but it worked and that is all that is important. We can also use a container method where you imagine putting all the upsets into a box and then we clear the imbalances in the box. Quite fascinating actually. The most important is to make the energy healing process as easy and painless as possible for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">A quick note here: some modalities suggest putting a client into a container to do a session. This concept and these words can be quite triggering for someone with a lot of trauma and claustrophobia issues. In the way I work, we can put the upsets into a container. I would rather think that a client can be in a gentle healing cocoon rather than a harsh concept of a confining container. Please see site map for pages explaining triggers and overcoming trauma. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If you have booked a session via phone, Zoom, or in person, you will find that I am quite passionate about this work and can get quite chattery in sharing explanations and examples to answer questions you may have. I do try to curb this tendency by providing more information within this website.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Once your energy tells me that you are at capacity for this session processing, we will close your session with a Full Court of Atonement asking to clear all imbalances brought up in session from before the point of origin. I then ask for processing with Grace and Ease, and transmute all energies to beneficial energy for the Most Benevolent Outcome and your Highest Good for a happy healthy life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Please see the After Care page for more information to consider after your session is complete. <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/after-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/after-care/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #000000;">If you are curious to see how I work, and try out some mini energy balancing sessions, go here:</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAFR1yZ-MVRcOOFftVTzF2fD" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg7kqRypaKAFR1yZ-MVRcOOFftVTzF2fD</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">_________________________________________________________________</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For General and Specialty energy clearing sessions, I will provide my notes for you to keep. It is not necessary to dwell on what we have addressed within a session, but over time it is nice to be able to go back and see progress through your sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I do not pressure my clients into more sessions as I am not them and I cannot and do not feel what they do in how they process or react from their energy healing session. That said, more imbalances can come up at any point related to anything and it can take more than one session to address certain issues, but I do trust that each session will bring significant improvements. Energy will always shift somewhere somehow, even if we do not physically notice shifts at first. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Remember: energy balancing self care is spiritual hygiene. Just like taking a physical daily shower, energy balancing self care is essential to our overall well being.</span></p>

<strong>Re: Communication with Jackie and Ladybug Wellness</strong><br />
<strong>April 20 2022:</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #000000;">PLEASE NOTE: </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">I have been super blessed with a wonderful list of clients and keeping booked up regularly with client appointments. I am ever so grateful for this. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">However, in this day and age of so many streams of communication, I am seriously overwhelmed with being pulled in so many directions of contact. I have long been saying that I am streamlining my business through my website and scheduler. Appointments in my scheduler take priority. Emails and website contact take priority. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Yes, I do have phone text, Signal, and the dreaded FB messenger where so many people get hacked with forwarded videos. (If this is you, please stop it. Forwarded videos get deleted. Period.). <em>These extra forms of contact are only used if email fails to work. </em></span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">In my scheduler there are instructions to book appointments then email notes if need be. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;"><em>The reason for this post is that I have missed some important notes for sessions and other information because it was texted or messaged to me instead of email.</em> Some of my mentors have required this stipulation in their business and I think it is a wonderful way to keep more organized and efficient for everyone&#8217;s benefit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">I have TURNED OFF ALL NOTIFICATIONS for FB messenger, Signal, phone text etc. I have been, and will only, check these periodically. Please EMAIL anything important. ladybugwellness@hotmail.ca</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">This is something I need to do for me so I can concentrate fully on my clients, family, and personal needs without constant distractions. Thank you.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Why I insist on email only, please:</span><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Practitioner Recommendations</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #000080;">***Please see bottom of page for some recommended dowsing group meetings and webinars ***</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Energy work is a very personal experience and it is my opinion that you should always choose a practitioner that YOU feel comfortable with. We all have unique gifts. A good practitioner, I believe, should not insist on only working with them, or discourage you from working with someone else.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">With that in mind, I would like to offer my recommendations and referrals here. I have a wonderful network of practitioners that I work with regularly myself, many have become personal friends.<br />

I had fallen a year before and had inflammation issues and ongoing aches. After he worked on my knee remotely, I could not remember which one was sore!</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I had the honor of chatting with and learning from Eddie Masters in February 2018. An amazing man with fascinating stories and results in his clearing methods. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have recommended him to many of my clients for house clearing, and several for physical issues, and they all have reported back to me that Eddie is AMAZING! <strong><em>He really is my “Pocket Ace”.</p>

Laurie has a method of doing reflexology with the points on your feet and meridians through your body to intuitively find energetic imbalances. Quite an insightful experience that brought up issues in my life from a completely different angle than I had previously ever known.<br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Lyndsy McFadden:</strong> I met Lyndsy when she took Usui Reiki Second Degree with me as a student back in 2020. My daughter Melissa took Usui Reiki Second Degree at the same time. We have all become friends on a professional and personal level. I did an interview with Lyndsy to highlight her work as a breathwork facilitator and Kambo practitioner.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333;">I connected with this lovely soul in April 2025 and was immediately impressed by her intuitive gifts. Michèle was completing certification practice sessions and offered energy balancing for one of my cats, followed by a few sessions for me. She works with Body Code and Belief Code, and I’m happy to say her session notes were spot on and created noticeable shifts. She’s a joy to work with — professional, kind, and genuinely tuned in. Whether by Zoom or email, she brings heart and clarity to her sessions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">If you&#8217;re looking to support a gifted practitioner who’s just starting out, Michèle is one to watch!</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Raymon Grace: </strong><em>“Raymon Grace is the founder and president of the Raymon Grace Foundation. He is a dowser, lecturer, and author of 3 books: “The Future is Yours—Do Something About It,” “Techniques That Work for Me” and “Seasons of April.” He has created over 50 DVDs sharing information learned over the past 45 years. His books have been printed in English, Italian, Chinese and one of them in Spanish. His work is being used in several countries for improving water and other areas of self-improvement. His videos have reached people in 142 countries.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>He has been a guest on numerous radio talk shows including the well know &#8220;Coast to Coast AM Radio.” He has been recognized by the Virginia Senate for his work. </em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>He is a down to earth plain-spoken person who tells it as he sees it. His dress clothes are jeans and cowboy boots and he doesn’t own a suit and tie. He’s real”.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><br />
<strong>Raymon is renowned dowser in our practitioner forum circles. I love his simple approach to everything. “How do you know you can’t if you don’t try”.</strong><br />
Raymon is famous for his unique &#8220;Raymonisms&#8221; such as &#8230;<br />
&#8220;Everything is energy and energy can be transformed&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Energy follows thought&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The mouth SPEAKS, the body LISTENS&#8221;<br />
&#8220;You will ALWAYS get what you focus MOST on. So focus on what you WANT not on what you DON’T WANT.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;There is only one person on this planet i have to live with – me. Everyone else is a matter of choice.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Pessimists are seldom disappointed&#8221;<br />
&#8220;We are not all created equal, some are born winners and others losers&#8221;<br />
&#8220;TRAIN others how to TREAT you&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Life is a matter of choices. Being kind to those who made bad choices and fu*cked up is a choice we make, not an obligation.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Evil people deserve to die&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Don’t take financial advice from poor people, health advice from sick people and weight loss advice from fat people&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">From one of Raymon’s newsletters: “Before you start sending me emails asking, “Can I do this____?” And hundreds of other questions, I will give you my standard answer NOW: TRY IT AND FIND OUT.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">The Dowsing Societies seem to have a law that says,&#8221;You can’t do anything without permissions&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THIS.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I did not ask the bees if I could give them directions to go into their new home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have never asked permission of an abusive person to prevent them from harming someone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I never asked permission of the teachers or principle to clean up a school.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">USE SOME COMMON SENSE AND EMPOWER YOURSELF”</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">He has a truly unique way of expressing his down to earth, blunt truth – and I fully resonate with it! </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #333333;"> Of course I have an entire page to share about my trip to meet Raymon for the May 2024 training class in Abingdon Virginia:</span></strong></em><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> https://ladybugwellness.ca/manifesting-the-best-birthday-with-raymon-grace/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">&#8220;If you do nothing, nothing is going to happen, if you do something, something might happen, The Future is yours, do something about it!&#8221; *Raymon Grace*</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>I have been on Raymon’s monthly energy clearing</strong> pretty much since the beginning of this offer. I have some of his DVD’s and his techniques book.

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Classes: Mondays at 3 PM EST DOWSING FOR POSITIVE CHANGE</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">About Dowsing for Positive Change:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This group founded by Roxanne Louise in 2024 is based upon the belief that all consciousness is connected, and consciousness underlies behavior &#8211; what a person does or does not do and how. The thoughts, emotions, and behavior of even one person affects the whole. As each person heals their own consciousness, they help others to heal as well. When enough people do that especially when joining together for that purpose, it can have a profound positive effect. It is our intention that these meetings support one another in this process, and act as a catalyst for positive change in our world.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">During each session we 1. practice a variety of personal therapeutic techniques, 2. direct healing energy to the consciousness underlying various global problems, and 3. send healing as a group to the personal concerns of those attending the meeting. While we incorporate dowsing in this process, non-dowsers can still gain much benefit.</span></p>

<span style="color: #333333;">Locally, I can accept payment through etransfer or cash, and offer a tangible paper certificate for a specific service to gift to your loved one.<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;">Please email ladybugwellness@hotmail.ca to make arrangements. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Charity Auctions:</strong> I am particularly supportive of animal and children’s welfare causes. Please inquire for a gift certificate donation towards your cause.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Radio Auctions: <span style="color: #000080;">PLEASE READ DETAILS TO PARTICIPATE!</span><br />
</strong></span><span style="color: #333333;">I have participated in Vista Half Priced Deals promotions since November 2021. Please watch local advertising for these offers. Usually runs quarterly: March, June, September and November,<br />
</span><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><em>The special website will go live only for the duration of their respective promotions.</em><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><br />
September 2024: NOTE: </em></span></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>Please ensure to use these radio gift certificates promptly. These gift certificates will have an expiry date of one year from purchase. Any GCs you have from before September 2023 need to be redeemed before December 2024. Thank you!</em></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">These radio website auctions are purchase incentive promotions to assist small businesses in securing radio advertising dollars.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Purchases must be made through the respective promotional websites</strong> <strong><em><span style="color: #000080;">when they go live</span>.</em></strong><br />
<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Please read their rules and limitations.</strong></span> You will receive a purchase code which can then be used to book your services through the Ladybug Wellness booking system. Please list code in Gift Certificate area of intake form. I have booking codes I will add from my end. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Vista Half Priced Deals</strong> is a 24 hour only promotion. When the site goes live, you are able to purchase gift certificates for half of the value of the service.<br />
For the advertising business, Vista sells gift certificates for half the value, but provides the 100% of the value in advertising dollars for digital banners and radio commercials.<br />
<a href="https://www.myhalfpricedealsnow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.myhalfpricedealsnow.com/</a> Choose Prince George in the drop down menu.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #333333;"><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Vista Half Priced Deals:</span> </strong></span>When the deals are this good, get in early, or get in line!! </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">In order to prevent the issues that the website faced previously, new measures have been put in place:</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">1) There will be a 200 person cap for shoppers on MHPD, after the limit is reached, people will be placed in the &#8216;waiting room&#8217;.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">2) Shoppers have a 5 minute time limit for inactivity, if a shopper remains inactive after the limit is reached, they will be booted from the site and put in the waiting room, as long as you are active on the site, the timer will reset.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #000080;">3) If you are shopping on the site and close the MHPD tab, you will be placed in the waiting room the next time you open the site.</span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">What happens to the purchase amount you have paid on their website? The dollar credits received towards any particular business purchases are then used as advertising credits with the radio station so the business can advertise through a voiced radio ad or a banner on the radio station website. This is a great opportunity for advertising and exposure, so we thank you so much for supporting local businesses and the respective radio stations. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Distance clients:</strong> it is my understanding that gift certificates can be purchased from anywhere across Canada and the USA through these websites.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>From the Vista digital team:</strong> <span style="color: #000080;"><em>“It does not matter where individuals live. All they need to do is have an active email and credit card, then they can log in from anywhere and purchase the offers. It would end up being a different cost based on currency conversions in different areas, but they could purchase your offers and use them accordingly if that is something you&#8217;re interested in. Just mention to them to log on to MyHalfPriceDealsNow.com and select Prince George as the location in the drop-down menu so that they will be able to see your offers”.</em></span></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color: #333333;">We are thrilled with the successes with this promotion. You get a discounted gift certificate and we get full credit for advertising. I am thoroughly enjoying meeting so many new clients both locally and distance as you can purchase these gift certificates from all over Canada and the USA.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #333333;">Thank you for the honor of working with you in sharing my love of energy healing. I trust you will experience some positive shifts from your energy balancing session.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Some information to know after your session:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>General Energy Balancing sessions:</strong> Your session notes will be sent to you via email within 24 hours of your session. If you did not receive your notes, please email me. These notes are sent manually from me; I am human and may forget sometimes. Grace is appreciated.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Definitions</strong> for some terminology used in session notes found here:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/definitions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/definitions/</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Please also check out the <strong>Emotion Code and Court of Atonement pages</strong> in the site map here:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">After an energy healing session, the most common reaction I hear from clients is that they feel lighter and more focused. Emotional baggage is &#8220;heavy&#8221;, hence why we feel &#8220;depressed&#8221;. Energy healing raises our vibration to lift us out of depression.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Disclaimer: Energy balancing is not a replacement for a professional counselor or medical doctor. Always have proper support!</strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">You may or may not feel energy shifts right away. Sometimes energy shifts are quite profound in feeling energized, or sleepy for a while. You may notice that interactions with others have changed for the better. Or you may find yourself feeling more uncomfortable in a lower vibration situation that is not meant for you. With more clarity and less brain fog, you may feel better prepared to discern the best life choices for yourself.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">When to book another session:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I always leave this choice up to my clients as you know best how you are feeling.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">At the end of your session, I usually add to the notes &#8220;processing with grace and ease __ hours, next session after __ days&#8221;.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">This is just an indication of what your body says right after a session. We have just shifted a bunch of energy and your body may be at capacity for what it can handle in that moment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Processing means the time your body needs to adjust to the energy shifts and then settle into that new level of vibration before you&#8217;re ready to handle another session and energy shift.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Energy is constantly shifting though, in and around us. You are the best judge of what you can and want to handle in your own healing journey.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">It is always my intention that any energy balancing I do with a client is for their highest and best outcome. I am respectful of what their energy body tells me in what they can handle in one session.<br />
<strong><em><br />
***Note: Black Pearl and CCMBA sessions are extremely deep and powerful trauma release sessions which have a two week processing time. You are welcome to book in again any time after the two week period.***</em></strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Note: I have many regular clients that book weekly, biweekly, and monthly to hold their preferred dates and times. You are always welcome to book in at your convenience.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">I am a facilitator&#8230; It is my mission to provide you and your body the tools to heal and empower yourself. The Ladybug Wellness website is set up to be a self empowerment resource. Please email any questions or concerns you may have that are not found within this website. Do check out the site map to find relevant pages and posts quickly.</span></strong> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/site-map/</a></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Frequently Asked Questions and Answers:</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>What is processing?</strong> When we think of Dr. Bradley Nelson&#8217;s (Emotion Code founder) example that energy balancing is like energy surgery in removing a &#8220;tumor&#8221;, it is easier to understand how the body needs to adjust and energetically heal after a session.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">We release and balance energy to a higher vibration, so you may feel like you need to &#8220;adjust&#8221;. You may feel like you’re going through a detox while expelling these toxins and energies. This feeling will usually pass with some focus on self-care.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>What is a &#8220;healing crisis&#8221;?</strong> This is the same idea of processing, but on overload. I always intend that my clients process with grace and ease, and that we only address in one session what your body can handle. In doing my work this way, I very seldom have clients who have a &#8220;healing crisis&#8221; more than just normal processing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">In my experience, I have found that those people who tend to want to control the outcome or hang on to the past rather than to get into the flow of energy healing seem to be the only ones that have any upsets after a session.</span></p>
<p><em><span style="color: #333333;">Just remember that energy balancing is unique to each individual. One person&#8217;s experience and breakthrough may be completely different for someone else.</span></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">On to helpful hints to process with ease and grace:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Helpful hints:</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Remember: Processing time given at the end of your session is just a guideline. You are welcome to book another appointment as soon you feel ready. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my dedication to energy work with you.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Processing refers to the time your body needs to adjust to the energy shifts and then to settle into a new higher level of vibration.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Drinking water and keeping hydrated will help processing. We are working with the electrical system and water is a wonderful conductor to shift energy faster.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• Sleep time is healing time. A nap is often the best way to process after a session. I like to call it a body defrag. Just like our computers where a defragmenter gets all the files back in order so everything runs more efficiently.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• A walk in nature, particularly in bare feet, will encourage ion exchange and grounding with the earth. This is actually a good stand alone kind of energy session but especially wonderful after an energy balancing session.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">• A Epsom salt bath is a relaxing way to help energy processing and to help release toxins and toxic energies. If you&#8217;re not fond of baths, just having salt in a shower is also helpful.</p>
<p>Please see the Ladybug Wellness YouTube Channel for videos with tapping techniques and Reiki energy boosts to assist you in settling upsets quickly:<br />

</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">People process energy balancing in layers. You may find that once a &#8220;layer&#8221; has been released, other issues come up to be healed. You&#8217;re welcome to share your concerns for a new focus in future sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Very seldom, but possible, processing after a session may bring up another layer of emotions to heal. Energy healing is often likened to peeling an onion in layers. You may feel a lack of control, anger, sadness or even loss. Remember that the body wants to keep us in the familiar past of “safety” rather than to step into the new world of personal sovereignty. Everything beautiful in life is just on the other side of this fear. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Is there someone who needs forgiveness? Do you need to forgive yourself? Has your session uncovered detrimental attachments to another person?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The Hawaiian word ho&#8217;oponopono roughly translates into English as &#8216;to make things right&#8217;. This ancient Hawaiian practice is a process of making things right in your relationships, including with ancestors, the earth and yourself.<br />
Ho&#8217;oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian spiritual practice that involves learning to heal all things by accepting &#8220;Total Responsibility&#8221; for everything that surrounds us – confession, repentance, and reconciliation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><span style="color: #333333;">Definitions: Session Notes Terminology</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><em><span style="color: #000080;">NOTE: There are no session notes with the Black Pearl sessions as this is always an individually unique experience:</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/black-pearl-and-ccmba-training/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/black-pearl-and-ccmba-training/</a></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">If you are new to energy balancing techniques, you may have imbalances listed within your notes that may be confusing. I have absolutely extensive charts and lists of words from many trainings and years of experiences. Some common imbalances I will list here or where you can find more information within this site. For more terminology and definitions, see the downloads page and the Master compilation Excel document.</span> <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/lbw-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/lbw-resources/</a></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #333333;">When booking a Zoom or phone session, I tend to explain some terminology as we go through your session. For email only clients, I invite you to please read through this website for answers to your questions. If you have more personal questions, I encourage you to book a Zoom or phone session to connect directly and ask questions within your booked session time. </span></em></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Sometimes just searching Google for a word can bring some understanding of how the terminology may apply to you in your situation.<br />
Consider the metaphysical connotations, meanings and implications of words that come up in your session as well. Our guidance team is a whole lot smarter than we are and I am often just as confused at the imbalances that come up and the words presented… until I look up an alternative meaning.<br />
Just an example: &#8220;prolactin&#8221; came up for a man. Why would a milk lactation hormone come up for a man? It was related to his mother and with motherhood on another level of consciousness.<br />
Lanosterol (an eye medicine) has come up for many people which often relates to eye issues but can also relate to a fear of seeing the future.<br />
This work is so fascinating when you can embrace a different perspective!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Please see the Energy modalities page here:</strong> </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/energy-balancing-modalities/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/energy-balancing-modalities/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Assemblage Point:</strong> See Modalities page above.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Subconscious Healing Integration:</strong> more information on this incredible protocol can be found in the Master excel document found in the Free Downloads section of this website.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Dental imbalances:</strong> Some charts can be found in the Resources page links.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Miasm: a family pattern weakness.</strong> See Ancestral Trauma page: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/ancestral-trauma-healing-family-patterns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/ancestral-trauma-healing-family-patterns/</a><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Miasms- these are energetically inherited patterns of pre- disposition to diseases. May be hidden.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Miasm sexual abuse: (VERY common!) </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/b-overcoming-trauma-and-abuse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/b-overcoming-trauma-and-abuse/</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Miasma are subtle &#8211; energy imprints</strong>. Think of them like crystallized patterns that can lodge in any of the subtle body systems and cause disease or illness. Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, first used the term miasm. There are four basic types Karmic, Acquired, inherited and planetary.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Karma</strong> is a Sanskrit word meaning the sum total of a person’s actions in this life and previous lives. Karmic miasma are the residue of past life actions lodge in the etheric body and have the potential to develop into illness, disease or suffering in this present life or future lives. This predisposition often determines our attitudes and behavior in this lifetime. My own theory is that we have cleared collectively so much ancestral trauma and miasma that when Karmic Miasma comes up, it is like we are ending cycles and patterns in our soul&#8217;s evolution.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Acquired miasma</strong> are acute or infectious diseases or petrochemical toxicity acquired during this lifetime. Can be acquired before birth, during birth or after. After the acute phase of an illness, these miasmatic traits settle into the subtle bodies where they predispose you to other related illnesses.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Inherited miasma</strong> are inherited and are subtle energy imprints passed down to you from your ancestors. They may be genetic, or from infectious diseases such as TB, Syphilis, Polio, Psora, Paralytic, Cancer, Nihilistic etc, &#8211; can cause not only symptoms but affect behavior.</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Planetary Miasma:</strong> These are stored in the collective consciousness of the planet in the etheric level. They may penetrate the physical body and or the subtle bodies.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Interesting observation:</strong> Often we have an imbalance come up for one person, then similar imbalances come up for another person, possibly in a different context. Since about 2020, miasma (ancestral family patterns) have been coming up like a global consciousness purge. If you think of each of us working on our own lineages, and how these lineages connect at some point in history, we are really cleaning up all the ancestral stuff for everyone. </span><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">More recently (2024), I have noticed Karmic Miasma coming up for everyone, like we are now clearing up soul patterns and the issues we have dealt with through each of our incarnations. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">See Ancestral clearing page: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/ancestral-trauma-healing-family-patterns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/ancestral-trauma-healing-family-patterns/</a> </em><br />
<em><span style="color: #333333;">And Ascension page: </span><a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/the-ascension-process-transition-from-3rd-to-5th-dimension/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/the-ascension-process-transition-from-3rd-to-5th-dimension/</a></em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">More Observations: </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Connection to Spirit, Divine Truth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I find that as we clear our own energy, raise our own vibration, we are also influencing the collective consciousness as a whole as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Kinda like a collective purge idea.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I often find these similar &#8220;themes&#8221; of stuff we&#8217;re clearing in practitioner forums as well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">That said, most recently (2023), I have found:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">disconnections with Spirit/ God/ Source etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Spiritual/ etheric blindness/ deafness (not hearing our guidance)</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">misalignment with life/ soul purpose (covered in FCOA class early 2023)</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Not safe to incarnate</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">spirit out of body/ ungrounded issues</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Sabotage energies and interferences with connection to Source/ God/ guidance etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>PSOAS muscle:</strong> This is a muscle that basically connects the top and bottom of your body. In holistic terms, this muscle stores a lot of sexual memories and trauma. There are yoga practices that can address this and we can also clear this energetically as well.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Common Abbreviations in your session notes (to save me from typing it out so often):</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">AHE or Addictive Heart Energy or “heart seeking energy”: common with addictions, our hearts seek out familiar comforts regardless if this may be detrimental to our current wellbeing.<br />
HW: Heart Wall: energetic blockage that can be around your heart or acting as a barrier anywhere in your energy field. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">HHW: Hidden Heart Wall: The body likes to hide things to keep us safe and familiar. There can be all sorts of “hidden” energies. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">FEB: Frozen emotional block.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">DA: Despair Anchor: a deeply rooted belief that keeps us anchored in despair.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">BM: Broadcast Message: a projected belief. More information in Projected Energies page: <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/projected-energies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/projected-energies/</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">PHS: Post Hypnotic Suggestion: a deeply rooted belief created through repetitive patterns such as movies, music, and repeated phrases.<br />
DUIs: A term that one of our EC/BC practitioners coined. Means Deeply Unresolved Issues. We don’t seem to have to know much and can usually release and balance many at a time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>BCPs:</strong> This is from Beth Foley. She calls this “Biochemical Plaques”. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">From Beth: “If you&#8217;re familiar with German new medicine and look at a picture of a brain, you’ll see the chemical plaques in the brain that cause dementia and brain issues. They&#8217;re called tracks, and that&#8217;s called biochemical plaques. Whatever you do in making a memory, you know, meeting someone talking memories, etc. becomes a biochemical plaque. If these memories are not good for you, we don&#8217;t want them there. We remove them when we&#8217;re clearing all these trapped emotions, etc. We&#8217;re going to clear them from your DNA memory, restore the tissue in the brain and body, clear auric fields, energy centers, subtle energy body and anywhere else it might be holding. And then we&#8217;re going to connect, synchronize, reset, integrate, and clear any trapped emotions we may have missed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Hormone balancing:</strong> When working with hormones, I ask what the optimal function is at, then balance to 100% function. Some hormones flow low, some high, so I have found this method to be most effective. Note also that hormones constantly fluctuate so although balanced within session, they can still shift later on.<br />
More information: <a href="https://ladybugwellness.ca/balancing-hormones-tucson-webinar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://ladybugwellness.ca/balancing-hormones-tucson-webinar/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Hiatal muscle:</strong> This area is in the upper part of the chest. It is my understanding that when this area is very tight and or imbalanced, this condition can contribute to a stroke or heart attack. This area also affects troubled breathing. Can be quite a relief once balanced.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Xyphoid process:</strong> This is a small bone that is located where your front ribs join. (For emergency responders, this is the spot for chest compressions). Metaphysically, this bone is often associated with guilt and/ or contrition, which is guilt felt on behalf of someone else.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Allergies:</strong> This is super interesting and has come up numerous times for clients as allergies to the wildest things. Also check for “intolerances”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">In her presentation Sandee taught us how to clear allergies to the usual stuff as well as to things you never imagined you could be allergic to &#8211; like colors, organs and certain people! </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Here is the link to the recording of Sandee&#8217;s presentation: </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Sandee Mac May 1, 2021 Presentation to the Tucson Dowsers </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">(Presentation begins at 8:22)</span><br />

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Resistance</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Whatever you resist, persists. To truly clear an issue, you need to address both sides — not just what you want to attract, but also what you’re unconsciously pushing away.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Take money, for example. Most people want more money, so they work on clearing blocks to receiving abundance. But if you&#8217;re still holding fear, judgment, or emotional charge around poverty — or resisting it entirely — that energy keeps you stuck.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">To shift fully, you need to clear your attachment to money and your resistance to its opposite. This dual clearing helps bring you into true energetic alignment and neutralizes the emotional charge, so the issue no longer controls you.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">What do the numbers mean in session notes? </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">&#8220;x 9000+&#8221; is somewhat of a gauge to release and transmute &#8220;all we can find right now&#8221;. Sometimes I get a specific number, sometimes I get that we can release &#8220;lots&#8221; so 9000+ is my go to number for that. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Numbers and percentages are really just a gauge and there is no rhyme or reason in how that comes up for anyone. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">As Dr Brad had said years ago, our subconscious mind records every second of our existence. With that idea, we could potentially have that many imbalances. When we account for ancestral imbalances&#8230; Well, if I get that we can release &#8220;in bulk&#8221; style without more information needed, I will go ahead and do that, always intending to process with grace and ease.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Discordant energies:</strong> Discordant means “not in harmony”. There are some strong verbiages that can come up as discordant energies, or anything else for that matter. Remember that the subconscious mind is very literal and sometimes we need to translate terminology to our own unique circumstances and experiences. Imbalances can be created from a fleeting thought. “Murder”, for example, can come up as meaning “Over my dead body&#8221;, &#8220;I could just die&#8221;, and &#8220;I could just kill someone&#8221;.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">I have seen “child abuse” come up in a case where a child was hooked up to essential medical assistance with tubes and such. The parent had a discordant image imbalance from seeing their child in this state.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Reticular Activating System (RAS):<br />
</strong>A bundle of nerves in the brainstem responsible for regulating arousal, alertness, focus, and the sleep/wake cycle. The RAS acts as a mental filter, tuning your awareness to what it believes is important — often based on your beliefs, emotions, and repeated thoughts. It plays a key role in selective attention, motivation, and how we perceive reality. In conditions like ADHD, the RAS may be dysregulated, affecting focus and circadian rhythms.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Metaphor: The Red Truck Effect<br />
</strong>The RAS works like a personal assistant or search filter for your brain. Once you focus on something — like buying a red truck — your RAS starts highlighting it in your environment. Suddenly you see red trucks everywhere! It’s not that more trucks appeared — your brain just flagged them as relevant. This is why what you focus on expands — your brain literally brings more of it into your awareness.</span><br />

<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Astrological Influences</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Planetary movements are believed to affect energy patterns here on Earth. The Sun, Moon, and other planets can influence our moods, timing, clarity, and life events. Neutralizing non-beneficial influences helps clear away any heavy or disruptive energetic residue from these celestial shifts.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Schumann Resonance</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Often called the “heartbeat of the Earth,” the Schumann Resonance is a natural electromagnetic frequency emitted by the planet. Aligning with it supports grounding, stability, and energetic harmony within the body.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Tao and OM</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">These are deeper grounding anchors:</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">~ Tao connects to the natural, flowing balance of all life (the Way).</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">~ OM is the universal sound of creation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">Grounding to both can strengthen your connection to Earth and Source energy at the same time.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Divine Timing</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">The concept that everything unfolds at the right moment — even if we don’t always understand it at the time. Trusting Divine Timing brings peace, patience, and perspective when things feel delayed or uncertain.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Violet Flame Healing<br />
</strong>A spiritual energy used to clear and transmute negative or stagnant energy into light and healing. Associated with Saint Germain and Archangel Zadkiel, the Violet Flame helps release old emotional blocks and restore balance. Practiced through breath, visualization, and intention, it’s like an energetic cleanse for the soul.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>Chakra Cleanse: Grounding Cord to Aura, Aura to Grounding Cord<br />
</strong>The grounding cord is an energetic connection from your root chakra to the Earth, helping release tension, emotional residue, and excess energy. Reconnecting the flow between your grounding cord and aura clears your energetic field and stabilizes your body’s natural rhythm. This process supports integration and helps prevent energetic overwhelm after a session.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;"><em>Tip: Drink plenty of water to support the clearing process.<br />
</em></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #333333;">Planetary Influences</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">In astrology, the Sun, Moon, and planets are believed to affect our emotions, energy, and life patterns. Each planet carries its own qualities — for example, Venus relates to love and beauty, while Mars governs action and drive.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333;">When planets shift positions or go into retrograde (appear to move backward), they can influence our inner experience or highlight areas of reflection, growth, or release. Clearing non-beneficial planetary influences during energy sessions helps reduce energetic tension and restore balance.</span><br />

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Aspartame &#8211; Primarily made up of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. The phenylalanine has been synthetically modified to carry a methyl group, which provides the majority of the sweetness. That phenylalanine methyl bond, called a methyl ester, is very weak, which allows the methyl group on the phenylalanine to easily break off and form methanol. Methanol acts as a Trojan horse; it&#8217;s carried into susceptible tissues in your body, like your brain and bone marrow, where the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) enzyme converts it into formaldehyde, which wreaks havoc with sensitive proteins and DNA.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM &#8211; It is a part of the peripheral nervous system and a mostly subconscious control system in the body, which affects heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, micturition (urination), and sexual arousal.

If you came back some time later, you might not hear the bell ringing anymore, but if you put a more precise instrument up to the bell, you might detect that it was still resonating from the blow you gave it. This is similar to how a resonance operates in the body. Sometimes an intense emotion will not become trapped, but will instead leave the body &#8220;ringing&#8221; with the vibrational energy of the emotion.</span></p>

A Heart Wall is the body&#8217;s way of protecting us from deep heartache. But this wall can keep us from giving and receiving love more freely. Clearing the Heart Wall allows you to be more open to love. Heart Walls can also block us from receiving abundance or financial success and once cleared it can give you the opportunity to enjoy all that your creator meant for you to receive. It is also possible for someone to have a Hidden Heart-Wall, which simply means that this is something that your subconscious mind does not want to readily give up without asking if there is anything hidden.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">HISTAMINE &#8211; A physiologically active depressor amine found in plant and animal tissue, derived from histidine by decarboxylation and released from cells in the immune system as part of an allergic reaction. It is a powerful stimulant of gastric secretion, constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle, and vasodilator.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Hormones &#8211; Make up a group of glands that produce the body&#8217;s long distance messengers. Hormones are chemicals that travel via the bloodstream to the organs and tissues. Hormones control body functions, such as metabolism, growth, and sexual development. There are a range of hormones where Cortisol is considered a huge depleting hormone and DHEA is considered a renewing hormone.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">HPA Axis – By Mehmet Oz, MD: How our bodies handle stressful situations involves a circuit of chemicals called the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis (or HPA axis). This axis essentially represents the relationship between your brain and your stress hormones as they interact in what we call a feedback loop, when your body reacts to the information it is receiving. In the case of this axis, what happens is that stressors cause the hypothalamus to release certain stress hormones, which then stimulate your pituitary gland to release more hormones. That cascade of chemicals signals your adrenal glands to release the biggest stress hormones of all &#8211; cortisol and epinephrine (otherwise known as adrenaline).These chemicals are designed to help you. Adrenaline raises your blood pressure and heart rate, and cortisol increases glucose, giving your muscles the energy to move more swiftly and suddenly (this is the fight-or-flight response). That&#8217;s helpful when a lion is charging (which is a form of acute stress), but not so much so when you&#8217;re facing more long-term chronic stressors such as a negative job situation or a bad marriage (or even pregnancy, due to the stress it puts on your body over nine months).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">HYPOTHALAMUS GLAND &#8211; Its purpose is to secrete hormones, body temperature, hunger, thirst, circadian rhythm. The most common symptoms are insomnia, chilling and disruption of the thirst mechanism (never feeling thirsty.)</span></p>

The most common symptoms are hormonal imbalances, dehydration, fatigue, high blood pressure, weight gain.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">ADRENAL GLANDS &#8211; Its purpose is to produce adrenaline as well as certain other hormones and to help the body to deal with stress. When it malfunctions you may experience fatigue, sensitivity to light, &#8220;joint noise&#8221;, unable to cope with stress, brain fog, low immune function. The most common symptoms are pain in the left knee and low back.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">Shaoyin HEART Meridian of THE HAND &#8211; The heart is called the &#8216;King&#8217; of the organs. The Internal Medicine Classic states: &#8216;The heart commands all of the organs and viscera, houses the spirit, and controls the emotions.&#8217; When the heart is strong and steady, it controls the emotions; when it is weak and wavering, the emotions rebel and prey upon the heart mind, which then loses its command over the body. Shaoyin heart meridian of hand starts from the heart, emerges from and spreads over the heart system, then going downwards through the diaphragm to link with the small intestine. The branch from the heart system runs alongside the esophagus to join the eye system. The straight branch from the heart system ascends through the lung and then turns downwards, emerging from the axillary fossa. From there, it runs along the posterior border of the medial aspect of the upper limb and passes through the cubital fossa to the pisiform bone proximal to the palm and finally enters the palm, where it reaches the radial tip of the little finger to link with taiyang small intestine of hand.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">SHIELDING &#8211; Since everything is energy, it’s easy to pick up someone else’s energy. Often times, we sense that energy when someone enters our own personal space. A program can be placed into the subconscious to help protect the individual such as: &#8220;I&#8217;m placing a shield around you. This shield is permanent. It will let positive energy in, and let positive energy out. Negative energy will not be allowed in, but can be released.&#8221; Once programmed, sometimes the shield comes down at night for some reason or other when we sleep &#8211; so it’s recommended to do shielding on yourself every morning when you wake up before you go out into the world. It can be really quick, by just holding the intention of: “Shields Up”.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">SIX PERNICIOUS INFLUENCES &#8211; Chinese medicine recognizes six &#8220;pernicious influences&#8221; which may create imbalances in the body, which are cold, summer heat, wind dryness, heat, and dampness. Excesses of any of these 6 types of energy may enter the body through foods, the skin, or the acupuncture system, and create imbalance.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Wind stirs the body into agitation, causing too much motion. It first begins to affect the organs that have access to the external world, such as the skin, air passages, and face. Symptoms include congested or runny nose, twitches and tics, and quickly spreading rashes. If Wind makes its way inside the body, it may cause convulsions, seizures and dizziness. Wind often goes hand in hand with Cold.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Cold inhibits the blood flow as well as the movement of Qi within the body. A person with Cold is often fatigued and has a tendency to oversleep, feels cumbersome in his or her own body, and looks pale and weak. They are prone to acute illnesses such as colds and coughs, chills, body aches and flu.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Heat often arises from overexertion that is nonetheless followed by hyperactivity. It is like an adrenaline rush after a competitive athletic event. It often causes an elevated heart rate, redness in the face, dehydration and thirst. When heat penetrates further, it can attack the Shen, or the spirit, and cause delirium.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Summer Heat is different from Heat in that it causes the opposite effect; extreme lethargy instead of hyperactivity. Often this is due to even higher levels of heat, resulting in heavy sweat, high fever and dizziness. When it is accompanied by Dampness, the person may become nauseated and vomit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Dampness is a heavy influence that settles in the body and may take a long time to treat. It creates buildup and stagnation. Symptoms include greasy face and hair, acne and pustules, body odor, bloating and diarrhea. If it invades the Shen, emotional imbalance may result, causing erratic behavior and insanity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #000000;">Dryness often accompanies Heat. It causes dehydration and may be due to an arid climate or smoking. A person experiencing Dryness will have dry skin, hair, eyes and lips. They may be asthmatic or have other respiratory problems such as dry hacking cough or phlegm.</span></p>

These boundaries aren&#8217;t about being less available—they&#8217;re about making sure that when we do connect, I can give you my full</em> attention.</span></strong><br /><span style="color: #993300;"><em><br />From my entrepreneurial community: <br />Alex Hormozi: </em></span><span style="color: #993300;"><em>“If you want to show someone respect, don’t ask them questions you could have researched. This means you spend your own time, ahead of time, to not waste their time.</em></span><br /><span style="color: #993300;"><em>Not wasting someone’s time is one of the highest forms of respect”.</em></span><br /><span style="color: #993300;"><em>“If you want people to respect your time. Stop giving them so much. Nothing is precious until it is scarce.”</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>OPEN THIS PAGE ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER! Way too much information and files for a mobile phone.</em></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;">What you will find is a shared folder within my OneDrive containing over 6000+ files of my personal collections and compilations of files I use as reference and expanded learning.</span><br /><span style="color: #000000;">Plus, charts and word lists that I use within client sessions.<br /><strong><em>Note: You can check upload date for the latest copy of the Excel documents that I continuously add to, and you can use the &#8220;search&#8221; function to find topics of interest. </em></strong><br /><br /><strong>Fair hand outs folder: These are documents I print and hand out at fairs and festivals and also give to in-person clients.</strong><br />1. Court of Atonement introduction and info, as a Word Document, tweak to your own needs<br />2. Introduction to TFT tapping techniques, interactive exercise<br />3. The “Community outreach” document is what I condensed and put together to bring to the outreach center<br /><br /><strong><em>June 2025 NEW: Look for my folder of &#8220;Dotty Toolkit&#8221; for some printable resources 🙂 </em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> December 2024: I have <em><strong>reorganized everything into about 150 categorized folders</strong></em>. Trusting this is much easier to navigate now. Honestly, it is not perfect but it is still a very good collection of resources for those interested.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>How this project started:</strong> <br />Back around January 1 2020, I had read an environmental article stating that digital files and email attachments are a form of digital clutter. I resolved to go through and organize 20 years of emails, accumulated between two email addresses.<br />I also realized that information shared in practitioner forums was not necessarily stable, at the mercy of admins and members postings etc. <br /></span><span style="color: #000000;">I have always had my own compilations and collections, and found it would be beneficial to others to find a way to share outside of social media and other sources.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>New organization:</strong> All the Excel documents listed below are now in one folder and my working copies more consistently updated and uploaded.</span><br /><span style="color: #000000;">Tip: Check back now and then for new copies. To reduce digital clutter, please delete previous versions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>My reason for using Excel:</strong></span><br /><span style="color: #000000;">Previously, I had often sent files via email to clients and practitioner friends, which I found tedious and quite ineffective.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Once I discovered that these files’ information could be stored in Excel easily, I managed to clean up and condense numerous files this way.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Even more beneficial is that Excel can hold an incredible amount of information in a small, easy to share file.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> if you do not have Excel, get a free version of Libre Office so you can open documents.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Here is a video explaining how I put together these documents:</span><a href="https://youtu.be/1JSr6J_k4JM" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> https://youtu.be/1JSr6J_k4JM</a></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #000000;">Video to explain how I organized Court of Atonement classes, financial information, and social media posts into an Excel document. This can work to organize all sorts of courses and classes etc: </span></span><a href="https://youtu.be/VRWDHlKbB8o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/VRWDHlKbB8o</a></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>MASTER LIST:</strong> If you are an energy balancing practitioner and or are familiar with doing your own work, I have compiled a master list of resources and terminology that may be beneficial for your own use.

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Favorite Full Court of Atonement Collection:</strong> This contains links to Amy Jo’s interviews, social media posts, and old emails.

Please continue to search the Facebook Court of Atonement group. I just have a personal peeve at the instability of social media so I do my best to save as much information as I can within my own resources. </span><br /><span style="color: #000000;">Through many of these old emails and posts, you can see how the brain storming ideas developed over time and continues to evolve as we learn more.</span></p>
