Running 13.1 Miles for my Dad and Myself

I sit here in my car right now.   Ready, listening to some tunes to help me get ready for my run that I am about to do in an hour.  Why am I writing at this time?  Well, I actually have nothing else to do right now except wait for start time.  Really… there is nothing for me to do…and I also made myself a promise that I would use the energy of this run to finally dispel any left over energy within my body that has been from my past.  It has been 2 weeks since my Dad was here visiting with my family.  As you know, I have not seen him in 27 years.  I write about his trip to our home extensively in my book.  In brief, it was a blessing.  It also brought up some amazing things about myself that I had no idea I had inherited from my Dad and also some very real insecurities were revealed to me that I had been hanging onto since I was a little girl.  When I was writing this small blog just now I began writing that it had been “2 weeks since my dad left”…I realized that I am still holding onto a piece of myself that believes that my Dad left me again and will continue to not show up in my life.  So, instantaneously I decided to delete that portion of my writing and start with “It has been two weeks since my Dad visited our family”.  Do you see how this works?  Words are amazing.  They directly lead to our thoughts and the patterns we carry and hence create over and over in our lives.  Today, on my 13.1 mile run I plan to tune into many of the things that no longer serve my purpose and continue to release the layers that no longer serve my life.  I have many… don’t we all?  Over the years, I used running to ‘run away’ from my fears.  To prove something to myself… whatever it was that I needed to prove…’that I was worthy, that I could do something, that I was good enough’…what ever it was, I ran away.  The last couple of years (since a house fire and many other significant events), I have used running as the experience that it is for me…a repetitive motion of breathing and movement that stimulates every energy center in your body, brings up ‘crap’ that we all need to release, and allows us to release and no longer hold it on anymore.  Every time I have an ache in my body while I run, I ask myself why and where this is coming from, I receive the insight and then I give it up to the universe.  I thank my body for telling me what I do not need anymore and then I give it away.  I do not need to live that way anymore.  I do not need to live with aches and pains that are either emotional or physical.  Our bodies speak to us and tell us what is wrong all the time.  I believe it is our job to tune into these clues and allow them to help us heal ourselves.  This is an opportunity for me to cleanse myself over and over again.  13.1 miles of shear healing and bliss.  Today,  I have some patterns of the past, I have some issues that I am currently dealing with at home (don’t we all?), and I just simply want to enjoy the ride.  I am hydrated, peaceful and in the knowing that all is well.  I may not be fast, but I am steady and strong.  After all, wasn’t it the tortoise who won the race in the end?  Here I am, with many ‘hares’ ready to run… welcoming myself home to the tortoise that I am.

Oh…and of course there is always the famous quote…”Run Forest Run!”  Yep, this is me today.

Namasté friends.

Chapter 11: My Mom is a Mom of Light

This is a small sample of the book I have completed about my mom and I.  My mom left the Earth on Nov. 8, 1988.  In this book my mom helped me heal my past.  We are speaking together on Mother's Day 2015 through my writing.  Here it is...


Ch. 11
5/10/15 morning
Mother’s Day

Jen:  GOOD MORNING Mom, Happy Mother’s Day.  This feels almost like a cliché. What has Mother’s Day become?   Is it really not just a Hallmark tradition that began as a marketing scheme?  I do not know but I felt this need to connect with you again this morning.  Is it about Mother’s Day or is it about the cleansing and clearing that is going on in our lives.  I have to say that I do feel better than I have ever felt in my life.  I am surrounded by things to be grateful for all the time.  It is truly amazing how my life has radically changed over that past couple of weeks. 

Mom:  Good morning sweetheart.  Happy Mother’s Day to you.  Today is a very special day despite all the commercialism of it all.  I am not sure of the roots of this holiday but just enjoy it for what it is…a fantastic opportunity to enjoy your family.  I remember when you were little how you used to bring me flowers and all sorts of treasures from your bike rides outside.  I remember all the pots and flowers you made me at school and brought home to me.  It was always so special and I loved every moment.  Treasure these times with you children.  They are truly special. 

J:  I remember that too.  I used to pick irises that were growing randomly on a hill in our neighborhood and bring them home to you.  I used to pick dandelions and I used to pick little buttercup flowers.  I remember instantly thinking of you when I saw these things and feeling like I had to bring these home to you out of shear love and joy. 

M:  It was a very special time.  I also remember you sitting in our front yard yelling out to me to come to the window and serenading me with the song from Annie, “Maybe.”  You sang and sang and sang with no hesitation and no cares in the world if anyone heard you.  I loved that about you. 

J:  I remember that too.  I remember making up roller skating dances and recitals with my friends and putting on shows for the neighborhood to watch.  I remember inviting friends and parents to come and watch.  It was a lot of fun. 

M:  I am sorry I never came to those but we can make up a story again that I did come to them and how much fun I had watching you?

J:  I already see the story in my mind.  You are sitting there enjoying the show.  You are in the second row and you have a huge smile on your face.  You look so pretty and I love that you are there.  It makes me feel so proud and happy that I have you supporting me and it makes me want to do more of these types of things knowing that you are at my side. 

M:  I always wanted this for you my dear.  Allow this to translate to your life in several ways.  First, allow the energy that you are receiving from replacing a memory with a happy one such as this one to feed your current life today with positive energy.  This is what you are doing when you tell many of your clients that you see to ‘flip’ the memory or to ‘flip’ the way they think about something.  Take the new memory that you just made up, feel the positive vibrations that you are receiving from this type of support and encouragement, and then integrate them into your current life. 

J:  Yes, I feel myself doing this again and again.  I feel how a memory comes and I wish it were different.  I really feel that I would have loved for you to be there more for me.  I insert you in there and how you look and everything and then I just feel what it would feel like to have you there and how it actually changes how I feel about myself.  It is rather easy to do, are you helping me?

M:  Jennifer, when you live over in this realm you can create anything you like out of love.  There is no resistance to doing this, it is the ‘piece de resistance’ that you spoke about with your client yesterday.  There is nothing I cannot facilitate over here out of love and as long as I have your permission. 

J:  Are you saying that all we have to do is ask? 

M:  Yes, my dear.  As soon as you began opening your heart, feeling me, and communicating with me you gave me permission to help you.  Until that moment, all I could do is wait and send you love.  Now, that we are communicating and you are asking for my help on a daily basis we can create together.  I am really and truly over here experiencing your recital.  I am truly sitting in the second row, I have brown hair and soft white skin, hazel eyes, and I am wearing jeans and flower shear shirt.  You have on roller skates that are purple with mice printed on them and you are tying them tighter to get ready for your show.  You also have rainbow leg warmers scrunched down below your knees, jeans, and a yellow/orange shirt on.  You are smiling with pigtails in your hair.

J:  I see this mom.  I see you and I see me.  I am very excited and we are looking at each other very connected.  As I look away I feel so strong and powerful and that this is going to be a fantastic show. 

M:  And it is.  You did a marvelous job.  I saw you do twists and turns by yourself and with your partners Laverne and Amy that I have never seen you do before!  It was really quite lovely.

J:  I see all of this mom.  Thank you.  It gives me confidence and the reassurance to go out and want to do more in the world today knowing that I have your support and that essentially with a bit of creative healing from the both of us we have always had this together.

M:  Yes, we are planting new seeds for you and new seeds for your family at the same time.  Do you see how this helps them?

J:  Definitely.  I see myself making everyday changes in my life of 2015 just by what I see that I needed as a child.  I can be there for Eleanor and encourage her to have friends over to play with more often.  I can encourage her to put on shows and plays with her friends to build her confidence.  I can encourage her to do the things that I did and more knowing that it will help her.  Most importantly I can be there for her helping on the side and in the audience of performances.  I can be there for her in many, many ways that I did not understand before.  It makes my heart feel good to know this.  I can also do this for Aiden and Ethan as well.  I can do many of the same things for Aiden.  Especially now and for the next year, as he shifts and turns and begins transforming into puberty.  Ethan, I have been there for in so many ways.  I can see him needing me at times but those experiences begin to be fewer now.  Mom, I have more that I need to share with you.

M:  Yes my dear….

J:  Mom, I had a dream last night of a storm.  I was with my family and we were playing outside.  Andy Ethan, Aiden, and Eleanor were all there.  Even Aiden’s friend, Bryan and his sister, were there too.  Olive and some other dogs were playing together outside.  We were in a field and there were some telephone wires around.  Then soon into the dream there was a tornado siren.  A huge storm was coming and we had to find shelter.  We could see it coming and it felt like we spent many moments watching it come.  It almost seemed like the storm was taking such a long time to reach us so we took our time going for shelter and casually collected our things.  Andy, Ethan, Aiden, and I all went in our house with Bryan and his sister and our dog Olive.  We ended up staying inside until the storm came to us.  What was different about this storm was that we were in a room with windows.  We simply pulled the shades and all sat back together near a wall.  We held onto each other and just waited as the storm came through.  Many of the dogs that Olive was playing with were still outside running around.  There was nothing we could do about them but stay inside.  All of a sudden the storm became very intense.  Everyone gripped each other and stayed where they were.  We were frozen in fear.  All at once, the storm became incredibly powerful.  Whatever remained outside was swept away.  It felt like an incredibly huge clearing outside.  The rain poured, the lightening furiously lit up the sky and the thunder roared.  In an instant it felt like everything that was outside was gone and we were the only ones around.  We were the only beings on Earth that remained.  Everything that was outside of us was completely gone, perished.  Then I felt myself present today and within the dream at the same time.  I felt myself lying in my bed but still dreaming and encapsulated in that moment.  Moments later I began to see incredibly strong purple and gold energy all around me and it became incredibly bright within my dream and within the room where I lay.  Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a boom of what sounded like thunder.  Just like that the energy left instantaneously.  I had this remarkable feeling that I had just received an energy clearing.  I just lay there in bed questioning what I had just experienced.  It felt like myself and my entire family received this.  It felt incredibly real.  Now, today, it feels like I am waking up to a new start and a new beginning in life.  It feels like our slates, my life slate has been wiped clean.  I feel clean, clear, and refreshed.

M:  Trust what you are feeling Jennifer.  What did you ask for before going to sleep last night?

J:  Well, I remember asking for a realignment of my family and I.  I remember asking for anything leftover that kept us from living our soul’s mission and our lives happy and healthy together to be wiped away!  Now I do remember this!

M:  Take this in my dear.  It was a gift.  A beautiful gift.  Take it in as an actual cleansing and clearing for all of you and begin your day with this new heart & mindset that this is exactly what happened.  You may have doubts that this isn’t so and that this is not what happened but essentially this is just your personality coming in trying to confuse you and make sense of it all.  The personality will try to go back to old ways.  Just peacefully tell this part of you that it is May 10, 2015 and you are starting over completely whole, healed, and transformed.  Watch as you do this your family begins to do this as well.

J:  OK.  I understand and feel this in my heart.  People are beginning to wake up now so I get to go practice all of this.  I have a sense of excitement in my heart and delightfulness for this day.  It is a very different feeling that I have never felt before.  I am actually excited to create my world today with everyone around me!

M: Take it in Jennifer this is how life is supposed to be.  You get to experience what I experience over here.  We just forget that we can do this.  It is really that simple.  Once you peel back the layers that are not of you and never were, you can do anything!

J:  I feel this mom.  It is like the information that I received from Kat’s son, David, yesterday when I was doing readings for people.  (I was giving intuitive readings during an event at a yoga studio.  A woman had her son there.) David, a 6-7 year old boy seemed incredibly clear and full of love.  He was a delightful soul that simply had no attachments of any kind and was living his life freely through his heart without any doubts.  He seemed fully connected and self assured in his every being.  He was so clear and without any 'stuff' that has been layered upon his heart.  He was crystal clear and creating in every moment.  There was no fear stopping him or holding him back.  It seems as if his life is about showing people that this is how we are supposed to be.  Clear of anything and everything, not allowing the world to pass judgment on us and creating every moment with what we want it to be. 

M:  Yes my dear, he is a great example of what the new children coming in are all about.  They are about connecting with others without fear and having this internal unshakable knowing that they are always right where they are supposed to be no matter what.  Nothing ever gets in their way because they know they are always connected in all ways. 

J:  This is what I wish to live out and be this year. 


M: This is what you already are my dear.    (End session this morning)
