Beautiful Tangle

 

 



I was visiting my mother, aging and somewhat disabled by her lack of fitness and muscle tone and the pain in her knees. Her old dog, Riley, had been my brother Christopher's dog and when Christopher died by suicide in 1996, Riley became my father's dog, and when my father died in 2000, Riley became my mother's dog. So this old dog was our last link to my dear brother who died alone and in despair in ’96. Riley was deaf and blind in 2007, when this picture was taken.

The old dog and I went down the length of the Island where I grew up, an island about one mile long and half a mile wide, in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, which is quite large. We walked slowly to a beach down by the old community dump. It was quiet, out of the way, peppled and reedy. There were ducks swimming out beyond the reeds. The shoreline was weedy and seedy and poplar trees leaned perilously overhead.

So there I was, filled with sadness, thinking about my mother being so dottery and Riley so old and disabled, blind, deaf. I had to touch him on his back to get his attention, to 'tell' him that I was changing activities. No longer walking, now sitting. No longer sitting, now walking. His nose did the rest. Riley who had been so young and filled with enthusiastic, doggy life. Riley, my last living link to Christopher, was dying before my eyes, for a dog with no sight and no hearing cannot live long, and as old and feeble as he was, his days were indeed numbered.

Add to all of this my own emotional tangle. My love for the Island, and knowledge that it had irrevocably changed, would never be again what it once was when I was a child, my life with my husband, the struggles and the fears, and all of the unknowns.

Yet, in that moment on that beach, with the camera, taking photographs as I love to do, I came across this tangle of vegetation. And although I am an avid amateur botanist, I do not know what this plant is. I fell in love instantly with the colours, the form and the texture of the image. I had to get it on film. I lay down among the mosquitos and spiders and pressed my body into the grey stones and pepples to get the image.

When I left the beach, Riley stumbling into things behind me, my heart ready to grieve for him, my eyes near to tears, I felt the perfection of each moment, the perfection of the beautiful tangle. Dead or dying, or newly born, all that we experience is perfect in itself.

 

Offering Sounding as a Therapy

I began to realize that the sounding that I do is deeply and almost mysteriously beneficial for me.

I wondered if it might be beneficial for other people as well and thought that I'd like to try it out on some friends and acquaintances.

So, after I had done this for a few weeks, I began to realize that this 'treatment' really is beneficial for people who receive it.

People report feeling deeply loved, feeling joy, feeling peaceful during the treatment. They report that it feels wonderful to hear these sounds.

People also report that after having received one treatment or two or three treatments, they see changes in their life. They report that blocks to getting things done are removed. It is as if the energy is now unblocked after the sounding session.

Here are some direct quotes from people who have received a therapeutic 'sounding' session with me.

"Lu and I had our first sounding session on Skype on August 2. I enjoyed listening to her singing and toning and the sounds she was making. I knew there were some big blocks in my energetic field, blocks to my creativity, and I was ready for anything that could open things up.

On August 5 I woke up with the idea to create a blog with all those poems I'd written five years ago that were just sitting on my hard drive. For the next 48 hours I created the blog and read through and posted those poems like a madwoman! This was nothing short of miraculous. It had never occurred to me that I could publish them all, or anything I wanted, on a blog! Since then I've been writing daily, a second miracle.
The third miracle was getting over the fear of going global, of finding my voice and speaking my truth. That's happened in a number of different ways, too numerous to recount, all since the beginning of August, and it happened spontaneously and so fast!
The fourth miracle was organization. Since early August I've spent days cleaning out the closet and the garage, weeding the garden, and yes, I've even started tending to my bookkeeping. It's time for me to create a new relationship to money and all things financial.
After our first session I was so amazed and excited, the changes were happening so fast, that Lu and I agreed to do a number of sessions together for a period of time.
All of Lu's sessions are different. Things I've felt during sessions have ranged from feeling like I was wrapped in a pleasant sort of energetic bubble wrap, to feeling like I was lying down somewhere, being fanned off by a medicine man, hearing him chanting over me, to feeling a waterfall of energy bubbling and trickling around me and fizzing, like champagne pouring through my energy field.
It may be later in the day or after a few days that I'll "see" what that session was all about. I don't "know" what's going on intellectually during the sessions. A pattern will develop in my life, a theme will emerge, and that will tell me what was going on.
I very much recommend having a session, or several sessions, with Lu and her miracle-inducing gift of sounding. We still have several more to go and I'm very excited to see where this co-creation of spirit will take us both."

This is a long quotation, but I wanted you to really understand how much more freely the energy is moving and being expressed now for this person. 

Here is another quotation: 

"As the session begins, I feel it bringing me into balance, clearing any distress or emotional turmoil from my being.

From within my center, I am then able to make the choices I feel in my heart, and to know I have the strength and ability to carry them out.

This greatly enhances and accelerates the process I'm going through right now: I feel comfortable taking steps, crossing thresholds, that would otherwise take so much longer to reach and overcome.

For me, the sounding delivers whatever it is I need: a guide that holds my hand, an energy that allows me the rest when I need that, a support that comforts me and gives me strength when I feel doubt or anxiety,...

And I think for all, it will be a blessing, and a gift, in whatever way they need it, as it is for me.

I wholeheartedly thank Lu for sharing her abilities and gifting us with this beautiful gift of healing!"

I do not know why this sounding began to come through me as it did. I am deeply grateful that by using it, I am able to help other people to do what they choose to do.

We are being encouraged, indeed, even pushed now, to grow and change and express ourselves. This sounding helps people to do this. It seems to have great benefits for those who experience it.

A sounding session only takes about 20 or 30 minutes. It can be done for anyone anywhere in the world who has skype or has access to skype, and I can use the telephone in most countries in the world also.

So, I'm really excited about this! I know what it has done for me. And of course, whenever I feel a bit tense or stressed, I can give myself a 'sounding session.' More importantly though, I know now what it has done for other people and I am in awe of this.

Because I value my own energy, sanity and time, I choose to charge a small fee for giving a sounding session, but I have made the fee a small one so that it is affordable for everyone, and I've been told that it is a very reasonable amount: $30.00 Canadian.

I have set up a PayPal invoicing system so that anyone anywhere in the world can pay for a session in their currency using PayPal, which is a secure internet payment system, and PayPal will convert their currency into Canadian dollars.

The technology allows me to provide this truly beneficial therapy to whomever would like to receive it. I am working on a website now which will provide all the details to people who would like to have a session.  If you would like to have a session before the website is up and running, just email me to set up an appointment!

This is really exciting, amazing and it has changed my life in just a matter of weeks.
