Greetings
Life, as usual, is full of unexpected twists and turns. Some
truly wonderful things are happening. And some rather hard
things are happening. Together they equal life. The trick
is to stay focused on the good, expect good things, and not
get swallowed up or drown in the negative.
It isn't always easy, but how you handle the day to day experiences,
the good and the not so good, is what defines you and helps
you grow.
If you haven't seen it yet, here's the video with Susan Boyle
blowing away the Idol judges, the audiance, and the counters
on You Tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY
Any body can do anything! It doesn't matter how you look,
who your friends are, what kind of car you drive, if you went
to college, if you had a messed up childhood. As I like to
say, the only thing that stops you is yourself - your fears,
your beliefs, your judgments, your expectations - and
we can change all that!
Susan Boyle's video is powerful. I've watched it 4 times
and I seem to cry harder with each successive viewing. Why?
An inner knowing that something very significant is going
on. I had a similar reaction when J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter
hit number 1. These are women with real talent that just went
out there and did their thing and have literally touched the
lives of millions of people.
In this issue I'll be sharing a few of my life adventures.
My desire is that you become empowered to regain your own
magnificence by reading about my journey, experiences, and
insights.
May you be blessed in the radiance of The One. May you find
peace, joy, and upliftment in the words and energies that
accompany this message.
Take a slow deep breath. Focus on your heart and give thanks
for this moment.
Here we go . . .
Eliminating
What is Disempowering You
Things don't always turn out the way you expected.
I'm sure you've had things that shifted over time into something
you didn't anticipate when you first got involved. Maybe it
was a romance, a new job, or a relocation to a new city. Whatever
it was, in the beginning it had great promise. You were excited.
It was new. It was fresh. It felt good. (It's called the
honeymoon period by the way)
And then the warts began to show. Little things that didn't
feel good about it begin to surface. Things about the person
or place begin to annoy you or make you question your decision.
"Maybe this isn't such a great thing after all,"
you say to yourself.
Now what I'm about to tell you is going to upset some of
you. I've received more letters about my latest romance than
any of the other writing I've done. Except, perhaps, my article
called What
is Vibrational Healing? That
one continues to get accolades from even professionals in
the field. Many still claim it is the best information they
have ever read about how and why energy medicine works. (http://www.spiritofnature.org/vibrationalart.htm)
But besides that, there is this crazy romance thing I've
written about over the last several months.
That romance is a perfect example of something that started
out feeling and appearing so fabulous and then twisting itself
into something quite painful and hard to deal with.
You know you are in trouble when you turn your attention
to someone else.
I discovered long ago that if you are involved in a romantic
relationship and you begin focusing on another, only one of
two things can be the cause.
Now when I first figured this out, I was only 22. I was engaged.
We had been together for 3 years and I had never even looked
at another. When I suddenly found myself exceedingly interested
in someone else, I had to ask myself why.
The conclusion I came to was this:
If you are with someone and find yourself very interested
in someone else, the only possible causes are either: 1) there
is something fundamentally wrong with the relationship you
are in, or 2) there is something truly extraordinary about
the new interest (guy in this case).
So I ended my engagement and began dating the other. We were
together for about a year. He was a great guy. The one I had
been engaged to got drunk and drove his truck into a tree.
Luckily he was fine. The truck was a disaster.
Fast forward to now.
Back in August I went hunting on Classmates.com for a guy
I once knew. I've shared part of the story with you. Some
parts of the past were too painful to share. You've read about
how for a time it was a magical romance. How we spent several
days together in Florida. How I felt when I was with him.
How I felt like I could breathe again. How we admitted we
were once again in love.
But that was about the extent of the relationship.
He stopped emaling and live chatting. He stopped calling.
When he did connect, he said the reason he hadn't been in
touch was because not being with me was so painful, he couldn't
handle hearing my voice. The few brief email messages he did
leave always said something like I'll call you later or I'll
call you in the morning. But he never did. I usually didn't
hear from him until about a week later with another I'll call
you soon message. So I repeatedly experienced anticipation
and then disappointment. What initially felt good, eventually
felt terrible.
After this had been going on for awhile, I consulted Daniel
Jacob, my friend and a very well known channel. He said that
we made a pact when we were young. We knew that a time would
come in each of our lives when we needed an infusion of what
we had then - passion, innocence, love, purity. That coming
together would allow us to each regain childlike innocence,
love, and passion in our lives. To go with the passion as
long as it was there and when it was done, to not be disappointed
if it didn't end in a ring and a promise.
He also said we had chosen this time because we were done
with our little vacation in limitation. Daniel has the most
amazing way of putting things. I love calling life and struggle
"a little vacation in limitation." (Visit his website
at www.reconnections.net)
Only a week or two after I found that guy on Classmates,
someone else found me. We wrote a few emails back and forth.
He's a great guy that I had always been very fond of. We dated
briefly a very long time ago. More recently we started live
chatting on a social site. Eventually he called.
Whenever I went on-line, I found myself anxious to see if
he was on-line too. Whenever we chatted, it always made me
smile. When we talked by phone, I found myself not wanting
the conversation to end.
As I reflected on all of this, I realized once again that
there was probably only one of two possible things going on.
There is either something fundamentally wrong with what I've
been involved in, or there is something truly extraordinary
about the "new" guy. As was the case the first time
I dealt with this back when I was 22 - the answer is probably
both.
So I wrote a long email to Mr. New Jersey and said it was
over. He never answers when I call, so I didn't bother to
try to communicate it that way.
It is always sad to end something that started out with such
promise.
But when something becomes as painful as that had become,
it is imperative to get it out of your life. What was once
exhilarating had turned into a heavy anchor keeping me from
soaring, from being happy, from being at peace.
The new guy - who knows? I greatly enjoy our communications.
And he is communicating with me in the way that the other
never did. They are very different people. And that is a good
thing.
This thing may not go anywhere, but it helped free me from
something that wasn't good for me, and that in itself has
been a huge gift.
So following my lead - is there anything in your life that
started out feeling good, but now feels truly bad?
Then get out!
It's the only way.
Now I don't mean end something because there is a tiny bump
in the road. Life and relationships have their ups and downs.
Businesses move in cycles. Relationships have their cycles.
I mean the people and situations where the feeling bad parts
far outweigh the feeling good. When it felt good for a short
time but has been feeling bad for a long time.
I should have left my husband when he had the first affair.
But I thought it was a fluke. I thought it was a mistake that
deserved a little compassion. I thought he would come to his
senses and realize what a wonderful thing he had with me and
our son.
I was wrong.
What started out great and felt wonderful, was really only
wonderful for about 3 or 4 years. After the first affair,
the marriage was destroyed. He was never happy again. I spent
the next several years trying to help my husband find happiness.
We had a son. I'd made a commitment. Sadly I still loved him.
But unhappy people are hard to be around. They bring you
down. They can be critical and judgmental. They throw their
unhappiness out on everyone else. And being an empath, I took
it on. I spent years trying to "fix" whatever was
wrong with me that made him want to stray. I went down an
ugly road of feeling like I wasn't enough. If I was only more
beautiful, or more sexy, or more this or more that, then he
would love me.
What I finally realized is that when you don't love yourself,
you can't possibly truly love another. He was unhappy. His
life wasn't working. He couldn't possibly truly love me. But
somehow I had made it my fault. Thankfully I'm now over all
that.
I've gone through a great deal of emotional pain over the
years - being torn apart from the one I loved, rape, a friend's
betrayal, love affaires that ended, moving to a new town where
I wasn't accepted.
But none of these pains compare to the devastation of the
infidelity of a spouse. Rings are exchanged, promises are
made, futures are anticipated, children are born, life's little
mysteries unfold, moves are undertaken, careers are changed,
things begin and end, and it is all with this life partner
by your side. You chose one another.
With this special person you share your deepest secrets,
your greatest desires, your ups, your downs, your highs, your
lows, your passion, your love, your body, your special and
sacred moments. And when they choose another, you feel tossed
aside like a dirty dish rag - old, used up, unwanted, undesirable,
and unloved. It is completely devastating and often debilitating.
Many people never recover. Not ever being completely restored
to happiness, wholeness, and health. They usually get stuck
in one of the stages of mourning - often anger or sadness.
I won't even get into the new beliefs they take on - never
trusting again, thinking all men (or women) are ___ (you
fill in the blank). They stay wounded and end up in other
relationships that are doomed to failure because they are
still wounded. It's an ugly viscous cycle.
Not sure why I've needed to go through all these things myself.
Perhaps it is to prove that they can be wholly and completely
gotten over. And so that I "know" the emotions involved
and can then create and offer the energy healing tools necessary
to heal them at the root cause.
I'm excitedly creating Vol. II of the Dolphin Spiral Technology.
The first series of meditational/healing
exercises described in detail in Freeway to Freedom
include healing of the wounded inner child (things that happened
to you in childhood), release of the people, places, and things
that were traumatic from your past, vows you've made and continue
to live by that no longer serve you - many you've completely
forgotten, reclaiming your joy and other positive qualities
that you left somewhere along the way, and much more. (http://www.dolphinempowerment.com/spiralingbook.htm)
I'm changing the name of the whole thing to "Life Works
When You Are Happy, It Sucks When You Are Not." The free
ebook will become "Getting Started with Life Works When
You Are Happy, It Sucks When You Are Not." The fist series
of energy healing exercises will become the Workbook Vol I.
In Vol. II we will be addressing sexual abuse; healthy boundaries;
infidelity; loss of love, health, career, finances, and friends;
rejection; unrequited love; sorcery; curses; fears of abandonment,
unworthiness, and being unlovable; regaining playfulness,
joy, self esteem, love of self, to name a few. These new healing
technologies have "come in" and are now being written
down.
Jonathan Goldman has graciously agreed to supply the musical
environment for the recordings. And all the exercises will
now be recorded in my voice.
Along with several Dancing Dolphin Aromatherapy Roll-Ons,
this eCourse and kit will be a profound new way to heal and
empower your life.
And they are just the beginning. Because right behind that,
we've been developing the new workshop series: Joy, The Experience.
I can't wait to share with you up close and personal the energies
and technologies of Joy.
So take a look at your own life and decide what you are ready
to let go of. Then use
Dancing Dolphin Essences and the Dolphin Spiral Technologies
to heal it not only emotionally, but at the cellular, DNA,
adamantine particle level.
Blessings,
Deb

Someone’s trying to get your Attention
- Afterlife Communication – they’re closer than you think
(by permission)
By Jacky Newcomb
Millions of people around the world are in contact with
their loved ones…after they have died. More and more see their
deceased relatives in dreams and visions. Appearing as spirit
they get our attention in any way that they can. Life after
death is real and we have plenty of proof!
My own Dad passed just over a year ago. The night of his
passing he was busy…he may have been dead but he visited each
of his four daughters in dreams. Dad looked well and happy
– he was just popping back to let us know he’d made it safely
to the other side of life!
I receive hundreds of letters each month from people who’ve
had similar afterlife contact….and maybe you have too.
Have you experienced any of these?
You have a very ‘real’ dream of the person who has died.
During the dream visit you are aware that the person is dead
and rather than a normal ‘confused’ dream you are lucid. You
talk to the deceased and they reassure you that they are safe
and well. Sometimes they tell you that they are watching over
you or they may comfort you by letting you know that ‘everything
will be ok…’
You get a sense of the person being with you or close to
you. Lights may flicker in the room or respond by flickering
lights to yes and no answers.
Alarms may go off after you sense the deceased with you –
or at the time you are talking about them or thinking about
them. This could be smoke alarms, bedside alarm clocks, mobile
phone alarms or even door bells. Sometimes people may hear
bells ringing but have no idea where the sound is coming from.
Clockwork items will start up on their own (several items
or something may start to work which has not been wound up
for many months or years – and often in response to the deceased
person being talked about or thought about. Clocks, watches,
children’s toys and music boxes can be included on this list.
TV’s, radio’s and DVD’s are messed around with. A DVD player
may record ‘their’ favourite programme or a programme they
want you to watch! Radio’s and TV’s turn on and off on their
own or will switch channel to something they want you to see
or listen to.
Items go missing or reappear. Small coins, jewellery or crystals
have a habit of doing this. Items will appear again by dropping
out of mid-air or reappearing in a place where you have already
looked. Sometimes (thankfully rare) objects will fly about!
A photo of the deceased will move or fall (usually not breaking)
or an object of theirs will find YOU. Items might appear to
have been rearranged or lined up when no one (no one physical
that is) has been about to do this.
Finding white feathers is common. They appear after you ask
for a sign or ‘co-incidentally’ when you are in need of comfort.
Feathers can appear ‘as if out of nowhere’ or turn up in unusual
places.
Some people may pick up the very strong scent of flowers
or perfume. Granddad might share the scent of his tobacco
or Dad his favourite cologne. Other unusual scents people
have told me about are coconut and fish and chips! But these
are usually when we associate the deceased person with the
smell.
People see posters or even number-plates which give them
signs that the deceased are around. Words stand out in a book
or we come across a particular magazine article etc which
gives us the information we seek.
Birds and animals act in unusual ways.
It is common to sense the deceased person around you. You
might feel the comforting touch of a hand on your shoulder
or someone holding your hand, even though you can see no one.
This is normally accompanied by a feeling of great peace and
tranquility rather than one of fear which you might expect.
Our loved ones are desperately trying to reach out to us
from their heavenly homes. Our pets can usually see things
before we can and children are even more likely than adults
to tune in to these afterlife realms which are not ‘up there’
but all around us (and just slightly out of ‘phase’ on a different
dimension.)
Imagine the blades of a fan. When the fan speeds up the
blades disappear…disappear from our view that is. Even though
we can’t see them, they are still there. The otherworld realms
are exactly the same. They are right here with us…just speeded
up enough so that (for the most part) we can’t see them.
During altered states of consciousness (dreaming, meditating,
during a coma or when anesthetized for example), then our
soul bodies are working at a faster speed – we are more able
to tune in to these other realms and they are more able to
reach out to us. Like many things that exist in our normal
world, just because we can’t see it, it doesn’t mean that
it doesn’t exist.
The afterlife…its closer than you might think!

What's on Sale?
I had my own little private Camelot for awhile. Life was
grand. It was a magical time. I had tons of friends. I had
a great guy. I was a cheerleader. I seemed to be good at almost
everything I tried - dancing, acting, academics. I absolutely
loved my life. I was happy and life worked.
And then we moved.
I might have done better jumping off a cliff.
I had lived in a few places previously, went to different
schools in various parts of the country. But I had never before
experienced cliques.
I went to Urban Disctionary to make sure I was spelling clique
right. This is what they had to say: "Clique - Why i
wish i wasn't a teenager - A group, typically of teens, who
exclude all who don't fit into their stereotypical image of
perfection, and conform to all the rules of this "perfection".
Often think they are showing outstanding originality and individuality,
when they are in fact exactly the same. And this is the same
for all subcultures. Usually hate "opposing" clique
for no good reason other than they perceive/have been told
that this is the right thing to do. Like to label people,
so they don't have to regard each human as an individual."
(I love Urban Dictionary, its the only place I know to
look for what all those goofy little initials mean in text
messages)
I went home in tears practically every day for almost a year.
No matter what I tried - how I dressed, what I did, who I
talked to, what I said, it just never seemed to work. I was
miserable.
My heart and happiness were somewhere else - stuck in a tiny
town in New Jersey. And slowly over time all those I loved
in New Jersey began to write less and less and eventually
not at all. Out of sight, out of mind I decided. (This
was, of course, before cell phones, text messaging, live chats
on Facebook, the internet, and email - a time when long distance
calls were expensive. So we wrote letters. Too funny! No wonder
we lost touch.)
It's not like every single moment of
every single day was terrible. I had many great times too.
I made a few good friends. I went out with some really wonderful
guys. I created numerous fond memories.
But rejection and having people say cruel things to and about
you is a hard thing. I eventually learned to be cruel back
- which was even worse. Being unkind is fundamentally against
my nature.
I just couldn't wait to get out. So, I moved out of that
town and into my own apartment the day after I graduated from
High School.
And as soon as I got out, the magic began again. I soon had
many new friends. I met a great guy and was engaged almost
immediately. I had a job that I enjoyed and it paid well.
I was getting a degree from a great school. I was President
of the student Chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers
at Virginia Tech. We had 300 members. Obviously to hold a
position like that, I had attained a certain level of popularity.
No-one's life works all of the time. But it can always be
more magical and more fun. Sometimes the day to day can be
difficult and we lose our zest and passion for life.
We all want to be happy and to have our life work. That's
why I make the products I make and offer the technologies
I create.
Do you remember a Camelot time in your own life?
- A time when you were happy, you were acknowledged and appreciated,
and your life seemed to work. It's time to reclaim it now
with The Essence of Camelot and the accompanying CD by Richard
Shulman from which it was created.
Camelot Reawakened is an awared winning CD with full orchestra
and vocals. The melodies and musical soundscapes literally
take you into a magical place.
With or without the music, the essence is fabulous! Life
seems magical when you are bathed in that frequency. It is
one of my favorites. Synchronicity seems to increase. I always
get better parking spots when I have it on. And it puts me
in a great mood. A friend of mine put some on before giving
a massage. She was exuding such a happy presence that her
client said, "I want some of whatever you've been doing."
Let's all get back to Camelot, shall we?
