What’s happening at Sparks of Healing? November 2024 Newsletter
Wow, it’s midway through November and I have not written this month’s newsletter. To be honest, I was having an amazing life, energy, everything! If you followed me for a while you know October and Halloween is my favourite time of year. We made an amazing display with 19 tombstones and a giant spider. We put up the beef netting webs and lighting, and it all was gorgeous; we thought so and the ninety-six kids agreed. 🎃The next couple of days were spent tearing down the display, organizing, storing, and recovering from our build week.
If you want to see the display, head over to my IG account @sparksofhealing
Monday, November 4th was a rest day. In my mind, the US election was on Wednesday the sixth for some reason. Tuesday is my admin day, the day that I write and do all the things outside of seeing clients. I woke up, picked up my phone and saw the news from across the border. I actually thought it was fake news because I was so confident that the US election wasn’t happening till Wednesday, that I did a bunch of research to make sure it was real.
Then I thought perhaps the gem I had taken the night before was still in effect, resulting in some sort of a dark dream. (I occasionally use a very low-dose THC product for body aches or if self-hypnosis is not enough to settle my mind.) Nope. That was not the case, the results were real.
I took a few minutes to digest the news, I laid on hands and did Reiki. This time I didn’t cry, unlike 2016. This time, I didn’t swear, I thought to myself there must be a reason. There must be a bigger, grander reason that this is happening again.
I read a few things. I read about people, not trusting anyone, about people’s anger, and people’s fear.
I’m not going to lie to say that my peace came immediately, but what I will tell you is that my anger didn’t rise. Fear didn’t rise. I stayed pretty neutral. I stopped looking at social media and found something positive to do. I listened to a podcast that had nothing to do with politics, did some housework, and lost myself in an adult colouring book.
It did take the wind out of my sails and I didn’t write the newsletter.
So here I am, and this is why it’s late.
The last two weeks have been a time of creating order, eliminating clutter, and making space for the new. I have had amazing clients and beautiful feedback. This buoyed me back to my usual self.
I took a journey in a Harmonic Egg last week. A good friend of mine in a city nearby purchased a healing centre with this fascinating device.
The first journey in the egg is a gentle journey to acquaint the traveler with the egg. Healing in this device happens by way of a combination of solitude, light, and sound. You enter the ramp to sit on the most comfortable recliner. Stephen adjusted my seat and covered me with a warm blanket.
The capsule is outfitted with lighting above and below the journeyer, and sound at either furthest point. Stephen conducted an interview with me prior to entering to determine my spirit of intent for the journey. I could choose from mental, emotional, or a spiritual journey. I had a few things on my list: unloading any lingering anger associated to the patriarchy, healing the witch wound, healing my olfactory nerve to enable my sense of smell.
The journey started gently, bathing me in green light, listening to relaxing spa-like music. I allowed thoughts and expectations to leave my mind and settled into comfort and peace. A few minutes in, a rattle started, followed by rhythmic drumming, which drew me into a trance state. I felt the pain start rising out of my legs and dissipating. Next feelings began in my head, or rather more accurately, in my face.
The car accident that took away my sense of smile, also chipped a piece of my jaw. It felt as though the light and sound were working to repair that area and create relief of jaw tension. The feeling of healing and vibration were like Reiki vibes on steroids. The next thing I remember is the music stopping and feeling like I had had a light, highly refreshing nap.
Over the next few days, it seems the anger rose to the surface. Luckily, this happened in ways that did not impact others directly, namely, I responded to poor drivers in the safety of closed environment of my car where no one as impacted by my words. I was surprised at my own response and followed up with Ho’oponopono to ask forgiveness for the energy I had just put into the world. I had a short drive and spent the rest of the time channeling sound.
There are several of these harmonic eggs throughout North America. There are three in Saskatchewan where I live and the one that I’ve ventured to is in Saskatoon in the soon to be opened Oasis Healing Center.
What’s happening in November at Sparks of Healing?
November 17: Reiki Share - Held the 3rd Sunday of each month from 1 - 3 pm in my home, this is an opportunity for Reiki practitioners of any stage to come together to share experiences, ask questions, learn new techniques, and of course, share the energy.

Opie will be channeling messages from Spirit to connect audience members with loved ones who have passed. There will be a number of vendor booths to explore before and after the show. I will be there with Sparks of Healing in booth P to answer questions. Come say hi, enter my free draw, and maybe pick up a copy of Forever Five. Tickets for the event can be purchased here.

Changes to my space:
The purging and organizing I mentioned earlier extended to the treatment room at Sparks of Healing, where I welcome clients for hypnosis, Reiki, sound healing and more. See the before and after pictures below.
Thank you for spending some of your precious moments with me here. If you have any questions about anything I have written or simply wish to have a safe place to share your feelings about the state of the world, I would love to hear from you.
