March 2023 Newsletter Sparks of Healing Hypnosis
Wow! I am going to be busy this spring...
The following is a continuation of the not so monthly newsletter I used to send through Mailchimp. It is a summary of what is happening at my business sparksofhealing.ca and other shenanigans I am getting up to.
Thank you and welcome!
As I am creating the March edition of the Sparks of Healing Hypnosis newsletter, there are 38 subscribers to my new Substack blog called My Weird and Wonderful Life (MW&WL). That is pretty exciting for me as this adventure only started on January 18th. I am grateful to have you here and I hope you enjoy my stories, observations, and life experiences. If you do, please consider leaving a comment on the story or sending me your thoughts via email: patricia40303@substack.com
As stated in the February news, I have decided I would rather publish my stories here, than on regular socials like the Book of Faces because it is easier for my readers to find the content they are looking for. The algorithms on that platform are steering people to less content from friends and family; pushing them towards marketing, sales, and inflammatory content. I would rather be here, amongst real writers where you can find me easily.
2023 has been a frenzy of healing for me…
I am not fond of New Year’s resolutions. I am curious as to how many of you still make them, and if you do, how long does it take before it feels like a lost cause?
About four years ago, I decided to pick a theme or a word for the year. This year my word is Freedom
Freedom to create without fear of judgement
Freedom to write without looking at the number of likes
Freedom to choose where I spend my time, guilt free
Freedom to create boundaries, to protect my energy and time
Freedom financially, allowing the abundance of the universe to flow to me and accepting it with gratitude
In order to experience this type of freedom, I need to do some work on myself. I do Reiki self-treatments and yoga daily. I have begun The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron practice of morning pages once again. These are three handwritten pages, first thing in the morning to drain the brain of the cyclical thoughts we wake up with. Pour out the dreams, worries, and to do list onto paper with ink; allowing your mind to be open to the wonders of a brand-new day. Morning pages have truly made my days better; emptying my brain of the tornado of thoughts seems to have lit my creative fire and I am enjoying playing with all the ideas I have floating around.
A journey like this often requires a little help from friends. In February, I had the honour of receiving not one, but two hypnosis sessions from Jacquie Balogh, my mentor/teacher/friend, where I connected to my higher self for guidance, understanding, and inspiration. Every time I go to the Interlife, my journey is a little different. Most recently, I ventured to an ancient-looking cemetery. You know the kind with high wrought iron gates and a shadowy figure guarding the entrance?
This being showed me the miles and miles of graves filled with ancient wounds. The work I and my clients are doing to ensure the habits, addictions, behaviour, limiting beliefs, and outdated identities stop with them are free the restless souls within these gates. I was not to enter, but to carry on the work. The cemetery in my vision was cloudy and dim… with a wee shaft of light shining down way at the back. They told me that as we all do the work to heal the past, to forgive and let go of judgement of those who came before us, the shaft of light grows. This place was devoid of soft feminine undertones that gather souls together. It was ordered by outdated rules and order created by the patriarchal society. The work we do brings light, and with it balance to allow the strength of the masculine to meld with the soft nurturing of the feminine, creating balance and love within.
The next stop on my journey was to stand with my guides before my council to understand my life purpose with greater clarity; to spread love and open hearts. They assured me that I was succeeding here to a much greater degree than I thought; how a simple deed, a smile, or words whether written or spoken could be enough to coax a bud to bloom; then showed me the field of hearts I helped to bloom.
A dear friend of mine told me the following after her Interlife session:
Yesterday I finally got on my meditation cushion. For about 20 years or likely more, my right leg has always needed a prop under it. Umm not anymore! That was what happened during the session. Something shifted physically. I have also been communicating to my clients’ higher selves when they come in with issues saying ‘you know how to heal this’ - that was such a phenomenal message to me.
Hypno is kinda weird cuz you don’t feel like anything happens and then you go about your life and you see that it was all very real!! Lol
Whether I am in the seat of the client or the role of the hypnotic tour guide, taking clients to the places they need to go to do the work they need to do, I am filled with gratitude for these protocols. Jacquie Balogh, I appreciate you immensely for bringing this information to earth!
Speaking of teaching…
Reiki
Dates for Reiki training have been scheduled for the next 90 days. They can be found here. In March I am offering Reiki Master training (class is full), Reiki 1st Degree training on March 12th, and Reiki 2nd Degree training on March 19th. You do not need to have taken training with me prior to join the Master class; next offering will be the end of April or early May.
Hypnosis
Jacquie Balogh, as mentioned earlier, has bestowed upon me the honour of teaching the Interlife Regression Protocol that she developed. It will be offered as part of her new Utopia Protocol or as a separate four-day regression offering which includes Past Life, Interlife, and Future Life regression therapy training. The Utopia Protocol is a stand-alone, advanced level of hypnosis with deep state and spontaneous amnesia. If you are interested in this training, please click her name to go to her site for more information or to book a consultation to see if you are a right fit for this training.
I will be hosting a live kick off to this training May 5th - 8th here in Regina at Slant on Winnepeg; seats are limited and we would love to have you there!
Out and about…
Here is a list of public presentations I will be part of:
March 6th from 6:30 - 8:30pm at the Neil Balkwill Civic Arts Centre, 2420 Elphinstone St, Regina - presenting a talk on hypnosis and guiding attendees through a hypnotic chakra balancing session. All are welcome, tickets are $5 at the door. Hosted by NAS (the New Age Society).
April 15 & 16th - details above - I will do my first ever public reading of Forever Five on Saturday at 2:30 pm. Come to my booth to say hi! Hugs are free. I will have copies of Forever Five, Hope for Humanity - Bonnie Bogner and It’s All About Energy - Cari Moffet for sale.
May 2nd at 5:30 pm will be your 2nd opportunity to come and receive a Chakra Balancing hypnosis session with the Regina Women’s Network. Tickets must be purchased in advance and all are welcome. PS we have snacks!
In closing…
Thank you for reading this far! I would love to know what you want to read about. In upcoming blogs, I am writing about my own hypnosis journeys, client experiences (written with discretion), and a variety of other things that take my fancy.
I hope March continues to bring us signs of spring and that you find something to make your heart sing.
Sending all my love,
Patricia or Patty if you prefer…
