How to Get a Knot Out

The other evening I picked up a necklace that my mom gave me last year, a little silver chain with a Buddha pendant. It mysteriously had gotten a knot in it. I tried and tried for about 8 minutes to pry this knot out, very carefully, but the more I tried, the worse it got. I kept saying to myself, "This thing is stuck. It's never coming out." Then, I said to myself, "What am I doing? I'm just thinking negative thoughts here! I need to change my thinking..." So, I closed my eyes with the knotted chain in hand, took three long breaths that I sent into the chain, and thought, "Now it is free." When I opened my eyes, I pulled the chain one last time before it completely came free.

I was totally and utterly amazed. I couldn't believe that my thoughts actually loosened the chain!!! I really believe in telekinesis now...that's exactly what I think I was doing when I breathed into the chain.

I would love to know if there are more people out there who have had experiences like this. I know that we can do many things just by simply believing we can, even if it seems hopelessly impossible.

That evening changed my life completely. I have changed a lot of habits just by this one experience. I can see the ways the Universe works a little more clearly each day.

My little girl even started drinking green smoothies...which is something I thought was comPLETely impossible, because every time she would even look at one, she would cringe. She saw mine in a pretty wine glass on the counter, and said "What's this mama?" I told her it was a green smoothie and that she could try it. She DID!! She LOVED it, and even had another one today.

Life is wonderful, and there are many blessings around us. All we have to do is believe, ask, and receive.

Dove~Love

Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I heard a low cooing sound outside.
It was pitch black and freezing temperatures. I took my dog out the last time for the evening found out that it was two doves, talking to eachother. I then went back into my room and listened to them a bit. One had a low, stronger voice, and the other had a softer, higher voice. The low one would coo three times, then the higher one would coo back. It was such a soothing sound. I was mezmerized that the doves were having this late night conversation...maybe they were keeping eachother warm in the night and having a romantic conversation.

This lead me to thinking about Chris and I. I felt my heart open and love flowing into it, each time I would hear the doves reply to eachother. I know that the dove is an animal sign for Jesus, and what better animal to symbolize His love, especially after the celebration of His birth.

The doves were a wonderful sound to hear as I fell asleep, and a wonderful reminder of the Love that we all share, whether we feel it, recognize it or not. It is always there.

What's Up on Planet Earth?

Hello...do you ever read the What's Up on Planet Earth website?

Well, if not, here is a link to the new information about what's up with the energy here on earth right now. http://www.emergingearthangels.com/2009/wings1.5.2009.html

I really enjoy reading this, because it helps me understand the ups and downs that I go through, being an earth angel.

Are you an earth angel? You very well may be!

I want to introduce you to a dear friend of mine. Her name is Carol Guy. The photo here is of her on her new book, Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet: Being an Earth Angel.

Carol played a big part in helping me find out who I was, and helping me to accept myself and love myself more than I ever have. She is a true Earth Angel. She is gifted with being able to hear, see, and feel angels around her. She has a team of masters that she works with, as well. She does private readings, and has a beautiful website, http://www.carolguy.com/Intro.html

with stories and information for people interested in knowing more about angels and the angelic realm.

Carol has a radio show on Blog Talk Radio called Earth Angel.

I got the chance to be on the show last Friday and talk about what it's like being an earth angel. If you'd like to listen to the show archive, here is the link:

I've known Carol for about 5 years now, and she is one of the most loving and most spiritual beings that I know. Please check out her website, and listen to her radio show!! It is well worth checking out.

Love, Peace and Blessings,

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for me! I am going onto Fort Hood to start my first yoga class at the PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) clinic.

Before the holidays, I taught to 7 soldiers for 2 days during 2 weeks, along with doing Reiki sessions and reflexology, and it was a really great experience. I felt like I was really making a difference in their lives. The last day my nose was really stuffy and I kept sniffling during the Reiki session I was giving. I said, "Boy, I wish I could breath!" The soldier I was working on at the time said "Don't worry about it, you're a really awesome person." You know, I really needed that at that time. Thanks soldier!

I just found out that I was doing this yoga job yesterday. Like a lot of people, we have been having money problems, so this was a HUGE blessing. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do the job, b/c my daughter will be just getting out of school before the class starts. Luckily, I got my grandmother to pick her up and babysit. Yay for my Grandma Joan, she's such an awesome lady.

This yoga class is supposed to be everyday this week, and pays really well. Big Man above's been really lookin out for me. Thanks to you too, Father. I owe this all to you. :)

My New Years Resolutions

I have not made resolutions since I was like 10 years old!

I'm glad I'm doing it now.

Here they are:

Become as close to 100% raw as possible

Read at least 30 minutes a day

Get outside and breath or play a little each day

Be honest with myself and others no matter what and not hide my feelings until it builds up and I become angry

When I start to feel stressed, stop and breath. Don't let negative emotions get the best of me.

Express myself creatively everyday, whether it's writing, singing, dancing, etc.

Speak from my heart and not be afraid to do so.

Stop drinking coffee everyday and only have it once in a while.

Well, there they are! I know I can do it!!

A New Year, A New Me!

Hello! My name is Tawni.

This is my new blog! I'm really excited about it. I hope to share my experiences with you.

I am at the moment 80% raw, 100% vegan. I am also an Earth Angel, from the Elemental realm. (A pixie) I am also a yogi of 12 years and teach Integral Hatha Yoga, practice Reiki, perform reflexology, and teach raw foods classes. As you can tell, I LOVE natural health, and healing, along with all kinds of fitness, spirituality, organic farming, sustainable living, animals, nature, the arts, loving life, and more.

My goal for this blog is to kinda keep it like a journal...I am not so good at keeping a journal in terms of writing on paper, so hopefully this will help me to get my feelings out, and help me to reflect. I know its public, so I am going to keep a private journal too...I think this is a great start for me though.

I am happy to finally be breaking through my fears of not being good enough, thinking that I am insignificant, and that nobody cares about what I have to say. I know people care. I know that I can help people by what I have to say.

I am open to comment too, so please be honest about what you think. Positive or negative, I think all opinions are great to help shape and mold me into the perfection that I am meant to be!

Happy New Year All, and many blessings to you. I hope this year your dreams come true a little more this year than the last, if not all the way!

Love and Light,

Tawni
