On my first full day back in Colorado, my sister Kathy and I went to Boulder for different healing sessions. First I went to visit my dream-group friend DeeDee for a foot-reflexology treatment, then to Kathy’s boss for a “subtle-energies” healing (of chi flow through my chakras). I told both of them of my exaggerated fears about going public with spiritual explorations for inner growth in a place that I perceive as having a preponderance of fundamentalist-style Christians.

DeeDee is an amazing foot-reflexologist who can read my dreams and mind better than I can sometimes. She is astoundingly intuitive. So she rubbed and poked around my feet and ankles, like she did right before I moved back to Alaska. In April, both my feet were tingling—singing her praises! Today, my LEFT foot was just as happy. However, my RIGHT foot had tender areas and twitched. Hmm. I asked DeeDee about it. She said my right kidney and adrenal gland were off-balance, but the main problem was with my liver. It is such a large organ and serves so MANY purposes in the body, including storing the emotions of fear, anger, and resentment. Ah!  There’s the fear thing again!

(Last year, I indulged in a wonderful series of energy healings with another fabulous healer, and she was always working on my liver, too. That was before I became aware of worrying about my public reception back home.)

I caught DeeDee’s attention with my stories of irrational fears recently and my unreasonable unhappiness during early childhood. Over the past couple of years, I have visited a few psychic healers who provided insights into my mother’s stressful pregnancy with me. I told DeeDee about my processing various Hay House audio programs on intuition and concluding that my nature is probably extremely “sensitive,” but I had to shut down that perceptivity very early in self-defense. I suspect my mother and I were caught in a negative feedback loop, making each other more tense in a downward spiral.

THE explanation, couched in scientific studies, of how and why intuitive-based functions/tools such as pendulums, the tarot, or the I Ching work accurately.

DeeDee has been working with me on using the Sway Test and pendulum testing, tools to receive guidance from the Universe. This sort of thing used to sound really “out there” to me. But my sister had me read David Hawkins’s Power versus Force years ago, and that scientific treatise on why various modes of divination work was quite convincing. And Kathy has used pendulums to great effect many times around me over the past several years. I’m a believer.

DeeDee is amazing with her pendulum! She wielded her pendulum like lightning to check her suspicions that my exaggerated misery in childhood and fears of rejection now might both be related to religious persecution in a past life! Really? Oh yes! After a series of questions, the story sounds like I was a teacher in the East, and I taught something in good faith that the religious authorities did not approve.

Then something funny/odd happened. Helping me practice the (whole-body) Sway Test next, DeeDee wanted to produce a guaranteed, demonstrated positive answer, to start a new line of questions. She had me start with “I am a woman.”  My body swayed backwards in a definite NO! What? I do not have gender identification issues! So DeeDee concluded that I was a MAN when I was killed by religious persecution. She confirmed it with her handy pendulum. WOW!

(If you are still with me this far, you probably already can accept the concept of reincarnation and that our souls do not have gender; sex comes with each physical body. This inspires me to investigate past-life regressions. What the heck happened?)
