Chinese Energetic Medicine by Grace

[serenac]

Hello everyone! Hi Debbie! Thank you sooooooooooo much for putting up with me! You are so wonderful and nice!

By the way what types of healing work do you do?

Anyways I’ve decided to do a couple of things. On the one hand I think I’ll work out of my home and to that extent I’m preparing some posters to put up, see if I can attract some clients into my life. Obviously what I have to offer the world just isn’t apparent on a CV, when employers see my CV the only thing they see is my age! There are a lot of stereotypes around here about people *of a certain age*, I don’t know if perhaps this is also true in the States or if it’s just a belief limited to around here. Here people think that middle-aged people are unattractive, have lots of wrinkles (if they saw me they would NEVER guess that according to my birthdate I’m *middle-aged*! I have NO wrinkles at all, no sagging, no blemishes, not that I look like a top model cuz you gotta have great bones for that and I don’t, but most people think I’m in my twenties! But when you look at my CV on any of those job search sites the first things you will see about me are my personal information (including my age)(and as if that weren't enough my age stands out in a BIG FONT as opposed to the rest of my personal info which is a normal size!), not my photo ), are very bad workers because they’ve become senile and are set in their ways and therefore they refuse to adapt themselves to new companies.

Spanish TV shows reinforce this stereotype, I recently saw a show where a lady in her 50’s went to an interview for an accountant position, the interviewer was a handsome young man in his early thirties, the middle-aged candidate only talked about her great cooking and the delicious cookies she was capable of making and offered to bring homemade pastries into the office if she got the job, when asked if she would be willing to adapt to the way things were done in the office she exclaimed that she had her own methods and she fully expected to continue using her own methods in her new job.

It turned out that in addition the middle-aged lady happened to go to the interview accompanied by her youthful niece. She said the niece’s mother had asked her to *babysit* so she was just carrying out her duties. The young niece was in her twenties, very attractive, sexy and curvy. The interviewer was so taken by her that he invited her for an interview. In the interview it turned out that the young lady didn’t know how to do anything and had never studied anything. That didn’t matter! She got hired anyways instead of her well-qualified but elderly aunt!

Anyways so as I was saying, quite clearly employers don’t see what I have to offer, they only see my age. And perhaps my lack of experience. So I’ll work at home and offer my work to people who won’t care what I look like, if I have wrinkles or no or if I have lots of experience, as long as I give them what they want and do my job well and give them satisfaction.

And in the meantime I’ll also create the perfect opportunity that I want and attract it into my life, and since I will (let’s hope anyways! ) be earning some income from my home business I won’t need to worry about money or deadlines, so I can take the time that I need to create just exactly the perfect opportunity that I’m looking for. I’ve been trying to imagine just what that perfect opportunity would look like but the truth is there are so many things that I want, I find it hard to decide upon what I really want more than anything else!

Well I’ll certainly let you know how it’s going for me, and when I start to receive my opportunities in my life to make some income and earn a living I’ll be sure to let you know.

Thanks again Debbie soooooooo much for your kind words! You’ve got all my love and huggies!

I just re-read my post.....and it didn't come off the way I meant it to! I'm truly trying to help you feel better Serenac.......and not suggesting how you think or feel is in any way wrong or inappropriate. I'm assuming you don't like feeling the way you do...and want suggestions to feel better.

Making peace with where you are here and now - always makes a person feel better and opens up the door to new opportunities.

Okay my darling.....sounds like you've made up your mind that you're bad, and the world is a dangerous, vulnerable place to live....and that what you love to do is impossible to do because you'll starve to death trying to do it. Not only that, you want to defend why this is the TRUTH and why no one would want you. So here you are...proving all this to yourself!

We DO create our reality. My reality is totally different than yours.....not because I'm lucky, or live in the right place,....it's because my dominant thoughts are different. They weren't always different than yours - it's a work in progress. Becoming the YOU that resides within your potential, is a full time job and pays amazing dividends.

Here's a little exercise for you - if you're willing to try it....write a list of as many things that you can think of that are GOOD about you and your present situation.....without mentioning anything bad....and post it here!

We'll all be waiting and excited to hear what you come up with!

Hello all! Hi Debbie! Thank you sooooooooo much for your so beautiful and very uplifting post!

Anyways I did the things you recommended, well the bubble bath no because I don't have a bathtub (maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to move into a place with a bathtub, but right now this little flat is just fine, veeeeery cheap rent ) but my lovely soft comfy queen sized bed with its fluffy eiderdown quilt did just great for me!

Thing is I don't WANT to work at ANY of the jobs I've applied for. But I'm desperate because soon I won't have ANY income at all! When welfare ends. Here in Spain you just can't know all the enormous tons of people who have become homeless because they couldn't pay the rent or mortgage, most people aren't even eligible for welfare at all here! And most people who DO get welfare can only get it for 6 months, when the average jobless person in this country takes more than 2 years to find a job because Spain isn't in crisis, it's in deep depression. Like the one that hit the US in the 30's. Except in those days housing was cheaper, like here the average person with an average job and an average home spends more than 50% of his income only on housing (rent or mortgage), as opposed to 80 years ago here when the average person only spent about 10% of his income on housing. Well and blah blah blah I'm getting off the subject here.

Thing is people who never ever expected to become homeless here have become homeless now, nice young ladies with no parents to take care of them, with an education who used to work as secretaries or even lawyers. People who don't smoke or drink or take drugs. Because they lost their job and couldn't find another one and they couldn't get welfare either. The news is full of reports about these sorts of people nowadays, because the big cities are filled with people in this situation.

But anyways getting back to me (instead of the current situation, the news etc. hehe! ), well I was just saying that I really don't WANT to work at any of the jobs I've applied for! I just apply for them because I'm desperate, I don't want to end up just another statistical homeless casualty of this deep depression that this country is going through. I'm even thinking of going to England because that country is chock full of jobs!

I know they say we create our reality, but I think the events that happen in any given country do affect all the people in that country regardless of their beliefs. For example I think if you live in Haiti it doesn't really matter what you believe, the earthquake there would've affected you some way or another. You could be practicing LOA and meditating and all that but the earthquake there would inevitably have affected you somehow. Even if you yourself didn't lose your home maybe you would've lost loved ones, or have family members who did lose their home and have to move in with you. Surely if you used to have a prosperous business there it would have all gone down the drain because all those earthquake victims would certainly no longer be in any situation to patronise your business now.

So what I am saying is, when I am in bed picturing myself earning money doing what I most LOOOOOOOVE to do it's all very nice and pleasant, I believe in it, I can feel the waves going out searching for those people and that opportunity that would be a perfect match for me, and that their vibrations and mine lock together and we feel mutually attracted towards each other, even if we aren't aware of it, and synchronicity and events bring us together.

But then I come back to the cold hard reality, the reality of a country that, well if not the poorest in the EU (I think maybe Greece is taking that honour lately, I don't know if you've read in the news about how deep in debt they are and can't provide for the needs of their own citizens and need heaps of help from the EU just to survive these days), well the thing is all the south of Europe right now is in the bin, Spain isn't the worst off but it's definitely a shadow of what it used to be. We all hope it recovers soon as countries like England, Germany or the US have already done.

The only hope I do have is I HAVE told the universe I'm willing to move to another country if that is what it takes for me to find success doing what I love to do!

But asides from that, well I really do personally find it very hard to imagine anyone wanting to pay me to do the things I love to do. What I love to do is artistic and we all know the stories about those poor starving artists, writers and poets freezing in garrets so they can write, etc. There's even a saying here which says, doing art means freezing to death (because you can't pay for the heating I presume), that is "el arte = helarte"!

(And no, what I love to do isn't nearly as practical or as in demand as writing is, I mean if you were a writer I imagine you could still work as a journalist or something. But no I don't write.)

I imagine that if I were really really really good, and living in a place where there's still money to pay for artistic activities (when people are starving to death and living in the streets in masses, there DEFINITELY is no money for artistic activities), maybe I'd still have the hope of getting paid for doing what I love to do. But I'm sure that I'm so bad, even if there were money for artistic activities people would always prefer someone else before they would choose me, because if you're gonna pay your hard-earned money for someone to do something and that something isn't related to your basic necessities and primary needs, that someone had better be real good!

Anyways sorry for ranting on so. I just wish I could find a way to be good enough that I could actually believe that people would be willing to pay me to do what I love to do, but I don't find that I can ever get any better no matter how hard I try. Because I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally bad..............

My dear Serenac; Well, well, well! You've got yourself all worked up here and you're getting in the way of your self! You've got lots of conflicting energies going on - and sending out CV's when you're stressed and anxious is giving an imprint of your current state of energy as you send it. Hmmm - think about who's reading you CV and subconsciously picking up on all your stress, desperation, exhaustion, concerns about your age, and how convinced you are that NOTHING is working. Please.....my darling.......take at least one full hour out of your day for YOU today. Relax in a hot bubble bath, tell yourself how FREAKIN FABULOUS you are, how EVERYTHING is coming together RIGHT NOW in the most perfect way. Think very softly and sweetly about what the perfect opportunity would feel like........note that I'm saying OPPORTUNITY (not job).......now as you're feeling the feel of an amazing opportunity coming into your life, can you feel the excitement and the joy of interacting with these new people in your life? As you think of this opportunity and you think about how easily life becomes exactly as it should, can you feel that sense of relief that this thought brings?? Can you just take a deep breath and sink down into that glorious bubblebath and KNOW that all is well and life is unfolding in the most delicious and wonderful ways? Can you relax and know your goodness and worthiness and allow your body to float in this warm soothing water and just ALLOW things to unfold? You've done all the actions necessary, but lets do ONE MORE CV - and this time do it in your mind. Fill it with your energy imprint of WHO YOU REALLY ARE - full of love, and glory....and peace and confidence...and willingness to be the one who steps into a perfect opportunity doing tasks that thrill you and make your heart sing. Now send it out in your mind - to all the places that are a perfect match for you.....and TRUST that it will fall in the right hands! Now - LET GO OF IT.

Goodluck my darling.....we'll all be SO excited to hear how things unfold!

As a little extra help, I've done a remote session on you that should help to calm and center you....and I've added all kinds of great little goodies into your CV. You'll be SO GLAD that you waited for this new opportunity that's headed your way! Just be patient a tiny bit longer!!

Hello everyone!

Oh I really don't like asking you for advice Gracie, because I know you're very busy and I don't want to bug you. But I reeeeeeeeeally need to ask people for advice, everyone on here who would like to contribute something and not just Grace of course!

Anyways I really really really can't seem to find a job anywhere. I've been searching for months, I'm registered on about 10 different job search websites and I've sent an average of about 100-200 job applications through each one of these websites during these past few months. I'm open to and looking for any kind of job at all I'm not being picky, I'm ready to work as a secretary, accountant, cleaning lady, waitress, receptionist, shop assistant, customer service rep, telephone operator, English teacher........ you name it if I'm capable of doing it I'm applying for it! Granted it's true I have a few disadvantages, I don't have a ton of skills or experience, I don't have a car (so limited in where I can work geographically, and also can't apply for jobs where I must move around in my car), I'm pretty old (well over 40, not very much over 40 but there's that big 4-0 on my CV (here in Spain even though officially it's illegal to discriminate against candidates because of their age all companies require that you put your age on your CV, yeah still behind the times 'round here lol!) that really puts employers off, and I've spent the past 10 years sitting (or rather running) around in my home as a housewife and mother on welfare, so got a pretty big 10-year hole in my CV too.

But on the other hand I've got 2 training courses, I'm studying secretarial and accounting right now and I studied tourism last year, I don't have a lot of experience but I do have a little bit.

I'm doing all that trying-to-be-positive-and-hopeful kind of stuff, distracting myself by feeling grateful for everything else that's going great in my life (and let's face it absolutely every other aspect of my life IS going fab my kids, my life work and purpose (doing what I love, for which I don't get paid), my home life, my relationships, my friends, everything, but none of these things put food on my table or pay the rent! ), listening to binaural beats, meditating and watching Paths, etc. etc. So I think I'm taking all the right ACTIONS (sending out tons of CV's every day) and I'm trying to get into the right mindset and outlook (feeling positive, hopeful, being kind and loving to everyone etc.) but still getting zero results!

I haven't even been called for a single interview!!

So I wish someone could advise me, WHAT MORE CAN I DO??? What is it that I'm doing wrong? Okay I realize there are ALWAYS things that can be improved, for example I do feel quite desperate and worried but I think most people would if they're single with kids to support and welfare's about to end (here in Spain you can only receive welfare for a limited time it's not forever) and they have no other source of income.

And I also feel rather over-the-head or stressed out or whatever you call it, not because I'm worried or anxious but because I just don't have time. For anything! Because I'm studying a secretarial-accounting course all day long and when I get out of class I must go and pick up my kids from school, then I must spend most of the rest of the day cooking for them because they eat 3 suppers. No kidding they do they are always famished, they finish one meal and immediately they're already demanding the next because they're still hungry!

So I only have a few minutes to send out CV's by internet late at night and I try to cram in as much sending out as possible but I'm also so drop-dead tired by that time that I never feel like I can get in enough sending out, like there must always be more job offers out there but I just can't get to them because I'm so tired I can't even see anymore! And then I take a couple of evenings every week to go out and bring CV's in person to different companies around my area that haven't advertised any job openings, but just to let them know I'm available if they ever need someone.

So okay I realize there's always more I could be doing, I imagine there must always be some job offers out there that I'm just not reaching because they're too far from my home for me to go and bring CV's to personally, or I didn't have time to get to their ad at the job search websites, etc. But even so, well there must be something I'm THINKING wrong or something, because if I'm taking all the right actions and NOTHING is coming, then something has got to be the matter somewhere else, not in my actions that is! And it's not like I've only been looking for 2 days I've been searching for a job for about half a year now doing all these actions during all this time and still nothing! Not even an interview!

Anyways I'll finish this soap opera now but please, everyone, any advice that anyone could have for me would reeeeeeeeeally be appreciated! Thanks loads everyone!

Hi again Grace;

I emailed you from your PATHS website - I've decided to register as an affiliate and I'm hoping you might review my module choices.

Love Debbie

[DebbieQ]

My Dear Grace;

Thanks so much for all that you are....and all that you do. For those that aren't aware, I emailed Grace and asked her to do a correction on my step daughter who is experiencing advanced Crohn's disease. Grace asked me to post on the list in future as ALL corrections benefit those who resonate with them and we all benefit from the unconditional love and gratitude that we each express.

The strangest thing happened after you did the corrections. She got worse, and she stopped interacting with me and has kept her distance ever since. We haven't spoken since that time. I do healing work as well and I mentioned to her that ALL HEALING IS AN INSIDE JOB. She needs to be willing to let go of her disease. I asked if she was ready to let go....and she responded "No, I'm not ready to let go of it - and I'm fine with the way things are." I was deeply surprised in some ways - but then as I thought about it more, I realized that being ill has many benefits for her. Her Dad pays her a full salary even tho she no longer works, her natural mother lives with her and pays her rent as well as doing all the cooking and cleaning, her husband gives her tons of attention and goes without sex, her whole family fusses and worries over her. I've spent the last few years acquiring all kinds of healing modalities and work on her constantly. Most processes I use will immediately eliminate her pain - and yet she refused help this time. She had a signifigant area of bowel removed but had severe joint pain. Her Dr. had told her that she wouldn't have any more Crohn's abdominal pain - so I think she is now afraid of the "consequences of being well". No way was she interested in letting go of all this joint pain! If she were suddenly to become totally well - her life would change a great deal! Our family business pays her taxes, her son's tuition for school, and her full salary. We all do our best to make sure she has NO stress in her life........so I'm convinced that on a sub-conscious level (and maybe even conscious) she's decided that life is better this way - and the crohn's effects are the exchange. If she gives up one, she gives up the other!

So Grace, I would guess that she probably felt your corrections and thought I was working on her despite her saying she didn't want me to. She "feels" me when I work on her. I should have asked her BEFORE I asked you to help! So let this be a good lesson for everyone here.........sometimes people DO NOT WANT A HEALING.

Many thanks Grace, for your wisdom, your love, and your willingness to help so many people. I am going to go back thru your posts with the intent of being corrected for my own issue. I experience difficulty feeling my feelings as I'm extremely sensitive and shut them down as a young child. I feel things intellectually first rather than in my heart. I think I love people, but I don't allow them in deeply. I seem to love with compassion rather than emotion.......I can see the goodness in everyone and often I defend people's inappropriate actions and behaviours because I see beneath the surface. I could be "in love" with anyone as I would focus on their most attractive qualities and understand their undesirable habits, thought patterns and behaviours. So it's confusing for me to love someone deeply and more than others. I prefer my husband's company to many others - but I'm not so sure that I love him any differently.

Sorry I'm rambling and sounding like a nutcase!! LOL.

Love Debbie

Wow

Hey Grace,
just read your reply and Thank You very much!! I trained for the third time today and my trainer is happy to see I got more coordination down pack lol! What helps me alot when I feel im getting weak is that I yell out MICHEAL JACKSON and it gives me that extra push..lol

Yes, I haven't heard from you, but I try keep you posted every time I feel in low Vibration.. I already feel you working on me without you telling me..so is okay! Is a relieve that i know that im not bugging you..lol
With the bad news I heard today, I know you were already working on me because I come from feeling down to neutral. After I felt better I put some Lady GaGa and it helped me focus on something else.

I imagine that things might be going up and down for me but I know you got my back Pretty soon I'll recover from what's going on right now...is pretty crazy if you ask me...and I wish it could just be stronger NOW! ( i'm so impatient!!) Sebastian is being strong about everything, if you can please help Yamari and Mi Vida I know they feel what's going on.. Especially Yamari..


Been catching up with my HW and studying for finals I haven't slept good in awhile but I'm getting there.
You the best Grace Many many Thank you's and lots of Love

Love Yari

On Saturday April 3rd I was experiencing wholeheartedly something that I did not expect to experience. On Sunday April 4th, the feeling grew stronger, and by the end of that evening it had enveloped my whole being. I was now a whole new person. It was not a normal shift in consciousness that I have experienced many times before. It was something very real and very new, and yes my consciousness was new also. I had resurrected a new being, a new life!

I was born into this life with a fondness for change and adventure. It was challenging for my family and friends growing up, because to them it seemed as if I was never satisfied or fullfilled, but this was not the case. I now know that I love growing in consciousness, and this is why I don't resist anything. Even though I may feel great fear, I do not resist it, I feel it and do what I want anyway.

In January of 2001 I began practicing CEM, and this was so incredibly powerful for me because I not only felt fear (and did what I wanted to do anyway) but now I could make energetic corrections at once to release these fears on the spot. The moment I feel anything that is weak in me, I make corrections instantly. I worked on myself for years before I even told most of my friends what I did with CEM. Now I don't hide what I do anymore. I practice Chinese Energetic Medicine with an intense passion, but the truth is, I was practicing Self Love, I just didn't recognize it as that.

This is important because as you release fear you begin to feel more and more Self Love. I realize now that I allowed myself to feel too much fear back then, instead of focusing my mind on Self Love. I loved life, my family, my friends, my experiences, but I didn't think to Love myself just as much as I loved the outer world until April 4th when I trully did recognize that I was loving someone for the first time completely unconditionaly. It was such an amazing feeling, that I wondered for the rest of the week how this all of the sudden materialized.

I knew of course that it was not all of the sudden, it was the result of constantly going within and releasing fears, digging deep and letting go of any thoughts and feelings that were not serving me. In the last 4 years, it has culminated to me feeling intense feelings of Love, and NOW, well if I could put into two words the way unconditionaly loving yourself feels like, I would have to say Immense Gratitude.

I also have to express my immense love and gratitude to Wayne Shovlin, because in unconditionaly loving him, I was for the first time able to truly feel unconditional love for myself. I love myself......FINALLY!

I tell you this not for you to be happy for me, but to be happy for YOU!
Each time I have grown in consciousness, I notice that my energetic corrections are more powerful. So I recommend Highly for you to make the time to read this whole thread over again.

Time is an illusion, and all the posts and all the energetic corrections I have made past, present, and future are much more potent. Any corrections you resonate with you will pick up, and raise your consciousness effortlessly. When you do any type of work on yourself, Paths, Matrix, Theta, Massage, Acupuncture, you name it, you are in the mode of Self Love now, because I have experienced it deeply, and my corrections will reflect this.

This is a unique group, and all of you have connected with me, and I with you for a purpose. The purpose is Unconditional Self Love. Now, be still and know thyself.

LOVE THIS!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR KARATE TOURNAMENTS!!! I love seeing the pics of you because you look sooo happy doing what you love. You always look so strong!
LOVE- Heat.

Beautiful post Grace!

I too feel I grow in consciousness, sometimes I feel the need to shrug off the feelings of being guilty because I am so into me.
I know what Vanity is, this is not Vanity
Consciousness has found so many different ways to express itself and as an individual I feel deep connection with it.

Thank you Grace! I cannot express how your corrections have made me feel!

[KimJ]

Hi Grace!

Just wanted to say a big hello to you, Grace! Your post was inspiring and beautiful, so on your recommendation I'm going to go back and read through this thread.

While I have 'issues' I'd love correction on that feel like the 'same old stuff', I'm going to read through first and see if maybe I'm not realizing the growth that's happened...

Funnily enough, 'out of the blue', LOL, just yesterday I was thinking about all the help and advice you've given me (and the fact that I've not followed it! ) and here we are!

Love and blessings to you.

Hi Grace! Oh thank you soooooooooooooooooo much for answering me!

I'm really looking forward to reading your story about Paths Martial Arts module!

Do you happen to have any videos, maybe on YouTube or wherever, that show you in action practicing karate? That'd be so neat to watch!

You know what, it'd be sooooooooooo great if someday they could choose you to make a movie or something, now I don't mean that I don't like Jackie Chan because I do, I think he's absolutely hilarious, but it'd be so neat to have a great martial arts practitioner in a movie who isn't Chinese or a man!

Do you have any material on the Winning Without Injury that is accessible by internet, for those of us who can't go to Florida to attend your workshops? Not that any of us here at home practice martial arts, but I think it's something wonderful and useful for anyone to know even if they don't practice martial arts, maybe for example when dancing or practicing other sports. Maybe for example if you've written a book about it or have videos posted about it?

OH thank you for correcting for my son! He's on and off well, coughs a lot at night although lately he's been well enough and hasn't had any asthma attacks. But I have to give him Ventolin too frequently for my liking. (I don't know if it's called Ventolin in the US but it's the same inhaler everywhere even if the name changes.)

Lots of people here are going to England to look for work because there's nothing here. I can't find a job either and what's worse, I can't think of a single job I like!

The only thing I want to do is work at home. I'm taking this really really really HORRID business administration course I sort of got *gypped* into taking and I absolutely and totally HAAAAAAATE it!!! (I mean I got gypped into it because I thought it was something else I thought it was a computer course, which I really need because I don't know how to use a computer very well, but it isn't it's a course teaching people how to open and run their own business, like a store, restaurant, etc. Now business administration, economics, commerce, etc. have always been the complete opposite of anything I like, it's like law and politics they just go in one ear and out the other I hate them so much! )

But now I'm too scared to give up this course because since there's such a scarcity of jobs around here the more qualified you are the better your chances of getting a job, and I'm scared that if I give up this course I won't have enough qualifications to get a job.

Getting onto a different subject, I'd really like to do something of martial arts too, but I can't really think of any particular martial art that I especially want to do, truth is karate doesn't attract me especially strongly although there are other sports that DO appeal to me very much. But I just simply can't find a way to fit them into my busy schedule, spending all morning at that horrible business administration course every day and the afternoons and evenings sending out CV's (to job offers that don't even appeal to me I might add, but welfare payment's ending soon because here in Spain you can't get welfare forever) and taking care of the kids. Maybe if I ever summoned up enough courage to leave that horrid BA course and just focus on trying to make enough money working here at home for us to live on, and then I'd have a bit more time...........

I don't want to say that I'm not grateful for that course, I am I'm grateful that they give this wonderful opportunity to train people for free who otherwise could never afford a training course if they had to pay for it. I try to think nice things about it and I won't deny that the teachers are absolutely great and all my classmates are stupendous and first-rate people and friends. But no matter how many nice things I try to think or say about business administration, I still hate it!!!!

Well I'd better be off for now got a houseload of things to doooooooo!
