Science + Spirit = YOU

(How many ways can I address Polarity & what I do with it? The experiment lives.)… :)

Life is all about polarities & the attraction & repulsion of opposite extremes which drive their movement. One has to be constantly vigilant, to prevent one polarization from over-taking the other. Even a positive thing, like (wordly) love, can be detrimental in the extreme. “Everything in moderation”, as my dad used to say. Striking the middle ground is our target & then rising above, in a way most spiritual: Past & future, love & hate, anger & forgiveness, giving & receiving, pride & humility, excess & simplicity, chaos & stability, abandonment & enmeshment, introvert & extrovert, sickness & health, life & death, courage & fear, happy & sad, work & rest, gravity & levity, autonomy & community,..Just to name a few. :)

We aim for higher-self virtues & goals, but sometimes get stuck in a lower groove. “We’re only human, right?” Well, “only human” with God-potential to rise much, much higher.

God/Soul/Spirit-Consciousness expresses itself through us in the subtle life-energy which enters in at conception & gives us animation throughout our lifetime. Life-energy is what organizes, creates & sustains our mind, emotions & physical body. This is played out by Spirit following same the laws of Science & Nature. These are the same laws which govern the Universe: Fields of polarized electro-magnetic energy, principles of non-quantum physics, systems theory & the fundamental forces.

The Human Body is the Interface Between Science & Spirit!! ~ Maggie Begley

Subtle Energy is the foundation of life, health, well-being, personal & spiritual growth. It is the blueprint of our life, so why not start there?

The FF protocols Dr. Metz & I use are designed to unblock & balance the subtle polarized life-energies, according to the clients needs at that time. The if, when, & at what rate this occurs is very individual & can’t be forced. As practitioners we facilitate, but progress is dictated by the patient’s own receptivity & innate intelligence.

Contacts are made on various reflex points on the client’s body via those used in Polarity Therapy, Ayurveda, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Acupuncture Meridian Therapy, & Cranio-sacral Therapy. This is done in a specific sequence, tailor-made & in real-time. Energy is dynamic, constantly changing, as is the client & we with their treatment.

Energy Is Dynamic & So Are We! ~ Maggie Begley

At the moment, my main clientele seems to be persons who have [previously unexplained] chronic or terminal illness, including cancer, chemical sensitivities & emotional challenges. Dr. Metz & I provide relief, prevention & maintenance, help with chemo detox, pain reduction, & often get to deeper causative or other contributing factors.

And, last but certainly not least: Oh so, so gently I provide gentle loving care & tender touch that nurtures. As one of my frail weekly clients recently stated, “This is my oasis, the only time I get to really rest, be touched & listened to. All of the cells in my body just soak it up”.

That’s worth coming to work for…. <3

Art’s the One

As I was getting ready to go to sleep tonight, I pulled the book Archangels & Ascended Masters, by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D, from my bedside table. Nestled under my covers, I opened to page 27, Archangel Jophiel. Her name means “beauty of God” and she is known as the “Patron of Artists” (Judeo-Christian).

You may know how much I love angels and artists. What you may not know is how much I’ve allowed myself to worry, as of late. I’ve barely engaged my creative self since a year ago, before my mom took a step down in her vascular dementia. This was one of my last fun projects: Maggie’s Begley’s Paintings ~ My 1st Montage.

I imagine Jophiel was pleased. She must be when she sees us dare to take a dip in the creative flow and with it, merge. Those who’ve experienced the intense vulnerability of opening spirit and exposing soul, along with the exhilarating freedom of reckless abandon…know how such merging moments feel. It is powerful to lose one’s self. Often in retrospect we say, “I did that?!” “No YOU di’int!”.

I was made happy by reading Jophiel’s entry and was so inspired by this quote, I am compelled to share it here with you:

“Worry never helped anything, so why turn to it during times of need? It won’t nurture you or heal you–quite the opposite, actually. It’s so much better to put the effort into something creative as a way to quietly meditate through positive action. Create, create, create! In this way, you mirror God’s own creativity. That’s why you feel closest to God when you’re fully engaged in writing, speaking, and other creative projects.”

And may I add, by feeling closer to God, we can also feel closer to our own intuitive voice, which comes from above and within.

Dementia, Remembered

Tonight is the one year anniversary. My mom’s beau (87) called up to my room saying, “I think you should know this. Your mother just stood in front of the microwave not knowing how to turn it on. Same thing with the television.”

The next morning, before I knew it, her ride picked her up and wisked her away to her pool class, with no suit underneath. I got a concerned call. That day her beau and I took Mom to the ER. No evidence of stroke was found. Something had happened though, and she’s never been the same.

The next morning I came downstairs to find her wandering around in a daze, half dressed. It was obvious she couldn’t be alone. The troops were rallied (my sister and brother, who are now there with her). In those first two months it was mostly me. It was a very rough transition for both my mom and I. No one has quite recovered. However, we count our many blessings!

This was one of my last blog posts, chronicling what happened. It’s hard to believe a whole year has passed. I’ve been in a time warp.

Continuing with my theme of honoring March as Women's History Month, I wanted to add to the Women Mystics section of this blog. There are so many mystics I would love to share with you, but with all the interest in the new Pope, and his choosing of the name 'Francis' in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, I decided to focus on St.

These photographs document a trekking and 4x4 journey through the Western Desert of Egypt. Starting at Bahariya Oasis we travelled through the Sahara Suda (Black Desert) and Sahara Beida (White Desert) ending up near Farafra. As a compliment to these images I produced a second, more abstract series of photographs entitled "Sahara Sands" from the same trip.

The journey was undertaken with desert explorer…

Upcoming Seminar by Dr. Metz

FUNDAMENTAL FIELD® SEMINAR: FIELD FUNDAMENTALS ~ BEGINNING LEVEL

Dr. Metz has thirty years of clinical & research experience & has published papers on systems theory & energy medicine. His material is unique & innovative, benefitting practitioners & their clients, as well as lay individuals & their families:

The FUNDAMENTAL FIELD of Life-Energy & Advanced Energy Medicine (FUNDAMENTAL FIELD) addresses the profound question, “What is the fundamental nature of life?” It seems evident that if our medicine & healthcare are going to be truly effective & efficient then life’s fundamental nature should be at their foundation. The FUNDAMENTAL FIELD defines this nature as an expression of consciousness, as Vital, or Life-Energy. It provides a unique scientific explanation which reveals Life-Energy to be the fundamental force(s) of nature whose form & function is that of a large-scale, fractal atom. This atom-like Life-Energy field functions as a subtle organizing principle that creates, organizes, & sustains the mind & body.

Within the FUNDAMENTAL FIELD are contained the energy systems of traditional energy medicine: original chiropractic & cranio-sacral therapy, Chinese acupuncture & jin shin jyutsu meridian points, Indian ayurveda & modern polarity therapy, & more…). This allows one to integrate these systems into a single therapeutic approach & receive many their benefits, concurrently, in one FUNDAMENTAL FIELD®, Therapy session. This is how the FUNDAMENTAL FIELD is a comprehensive, effective, & advanced medicine & healing discipline. (See essays @ fundamentalfield.com or thespiritedsoul.com).

“If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? He was the first schoolmaster, the first advocate of learning, the first enemy of ignorance, the first to whisper in human ears the sacred word liberty."

- Robert Green Ingersoll

In honor of the Year of the Snake, which will arrive with Chinese and Tibetan New Year on February 10th, I decided to explore the snake as a symbol across cultures and history, just as I did…

Thank you Lisa, a.k.a. Mommy Mystic, for another detailed and interesting post, accompanied by many of beautiful visuals (my favorite). Here Lisa examines snake mythology from a spiritual and cross cultural perspective, in honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year, Year of the Snake. Every New Year (be it here, there, or anywhere) is a good opportunity for self-reflection (of which I'm prone). I myself was born in the Year of the Snake. Not surprisingly I suppose, when I was meandering down the streets of Old New Delhi one afternoon in 1999, a peddling astrologer approached me saying I had "sad Snake eyes" and would "return to India someday"...I did, on both accounts. :) More transformation and rebirth on the way...Shed that skin, and let it go...OUCH! But what fresh, smooth vulnerability lies in wait.
