Co-creating with the Angels:
Starting a Healing Center in Sedona, AZ
Phoenix Rising Star
It was no accident we met at Facilitator Training for the Flower of Life Meditation. We took one look at each other and knew instantly that here was the person our angels had prepared us for. I, Phoenix, had moved to Sedona just prior to the training. Leon moved here shortly after we met.
We worked at different places, as healers and vortex tour guides, but began to feel frustrated we didn't have more control over the type of work we were both doing. I was yearning for depth and for people who wanted to raise the consciousness of the planet, not just the tourists who wanted a psychic reading because they were in Sedona, and that's what one does when visiting. Leon was developing his tour guide business and sacred ceremonials that were incredibly healing, but the pay and the working conditions were less than rewarding.
We began offering healing work together, through Integrated Energy Therapy. (Leon and I are Master Instructors in IET, which allows us to teach it to others, as well as facilitate healings.) This therapy gets the 'issues out of the tissues' and helps people to raise their vibrations so they can heal themselves. We love this therapy so much, as it has greatly facilitated our personal growth.
Having worked together with several clients, we decided to work out of home and utilize a spare bedroom as our healing space. After frantically cleaning the house prior to the third client, and feeling frustrated at sharing our space with clients, we thought this maybe was not such a good idea.
That's when the visions began. I meditate every day, doing either the Flower of Life Meditation, shamanic journeys, or some other deep spiritual connection. And I've worked with angels all my life, even when I didn't realize I was working with them. So when angels began appearing to me regarding a 'special project', I wasn't surprised. The first angel was Archangel Raphael who told me I needed to get a large statue representing him/her (angels are androgenous, but we tend to assign gender to make it easier to identify them). This statue would help us to co-create our life work. I didn't fully understand this directive, but followed it anyway. I found a very large angel statue and placed it in a prominent place of power. (In IET, Archangel Raphael helps us clear our top of our head of guilt or separation from source and brings in innocence. He also helps clear the top of the head so our soul purpose can be present in divine alignment.)
Next, I began receiving visions of a healing center here in Sedona. Very specific information came in regarding the type of healing center. Not a psychic center, but a healing center, where healers come to heal themselves, and then stay to facilitate healing in others. A higher self-driven center, where all who are within the walls either as a facilitator, teacher, or client are acting in accordance with their higher selves. Filled with spiritual integrity, and drawing in like minded people who want to shift, heal, change, transform their lives and are willing to provide a fair energy exchange for this process. This is a center about teaching, healing, and serving others. The angels told me this was where we would provide free 5 minute empowerments, an abbreviated version of Integrated Energy Therapy® to give people a taste of healing. By doing this, we would be providing a service to others, helping them to realize how easy it is to heal themselves. Which also makes them come back for more and longer sessions. And that IET would be a big part of our offerings.
The angels brought me more specifics about how this was to be a multi level operation with different sources of income. Revenue would come from independent contractors renting the treatment rooms, from teachers using the classroom, from aura photos (especially before and after aura photos demonstrating healing, the power of vortexes, classes, readings, etc.), the different services we were offering, a supportive retail bookstore helping people on their paths, and other opportunities yet to be developed.
I wrote all this down and shared it with Leon who was as excited as I was.
The next thing I knew I was being contacted by 6 different people who said they felt compelled to connect at that time because we would be working together in some way in the near future. I was blown away by that as I hadn't shared anything about my vision with anyone. Clearly the angels were in charge of this project and bringing in the right people at the right time. These were the developers, if you will. They helped create the physical form out of the energetic potential. After the center opened, some then stayed to fulfill part of their life journey as teachers or healers, and some left to follow their paths wherever they were led.
Now there was no way we would be working out of our house. So we asked the angels to bring us the right place. One that wasn't too expensive to lease, that had enough room for the initial vision and we could stay for at least a year, and in the right location. At first we thought it was to be in the Village of Oak Creek. That's what the vision felt like. So we looked at various places, but none of them were quite right. After a very frustrating afternoon looking at wrong places, I finally said, "Look angels. If you want us to co-create this, then you need to bring us the place right now. Make it so obvious we can't mistake it."
That's when 3 different people in 1 day spoke about the same place that just came up for lease in West Sedona! Who would have thought? We took 1 look at the place and felt that it was right. It was already set up for a small retail space plus 3 treatment rooms and a large closet-like area that could be used for the aura camera. All it lacked was the classroom. That's when the owner said casually, "You know, on the other side of this closet is a large storage room. I'd be happy to clean it out if you would want to rent that also." We looked at it and found it was the right size for a small classroom. Now we had everything we needed to get started.
We spent the first month painting the walls and preparing the space. We chose sponge painting with gold overtones to raise the vibration. We also hid sacred symbols in the paint and painted with loving thoughts to keep the vibration high.
As we needed furniture or equipment, the angels would bring us exactly what we needed. Like the aura camera on Ebay. We bought it from someone in Australia for half the price of a new one. Since they have life-time guarantees, we had nothing to lose!
We had our open house in October, 2006. It was a smashing success. Lots of people came by to support us and to experience what we had co-created. Now the challenge was to sustain the connection with the local community and high vibrational visitors.
Three months after we opened, the angels told me in meditation that we would be expanding to the space next door to us. We would use it as a large classroom space, they said. I laughed and said, "Oh sure. Rhonda is next door. She's not going anywhere!" Two hours later, one of the independent contractors walked in and said, 'Hey, did you hear that Rhonda gave notice next door? She's moving out!" I shook my head, and said, "I don't think I'm ready for this." The angels had other ideas, of course, and at our next workshop, we had so many people, we were overcrowded in our 'small' classroom. Okay, we got it! One month later, we took possession of the 'large' classroom space.
It was at that time, we realized what we were becoming. The spirit of the center shared with us that we were developing into a spiritual retreat center. Not only did we have workshop space available for incoming groups, but we also have the supportive services for out of town groups. We are able to offer vortex tours, sacred ceremonials, yoga, massage, energy work, readings, aura photos, and more! All customized for individual groups.
Also we quickly realized we were the only center in town offering Integrated Energy Therapy, the next level beyond Reiki. This was a profound realization as it helped us to recognize our potential. Not only do we provide sessions in IET, but we train people to give sessions. We provide 3 levels of training for people plus IET for Pets. Word was beginning to spread about the power of this therapy and its ability to get the 'issues out of the tissues' without having to relive trauma. It is one of the few therapies we've found that honors the client as being the healer. We are the facilitators between the client and the angels, and the angels tease us about keeping us busy so they can do all the work! This is also how we structure our angel readings and other services. We believe the client is the highest and best healer/reader/teacher, etc. so we give the client the tools they need to do this work themselves.
One of the challenges we've faced is 'going with the flow'. Within the flow of the center, within the flow of Sedona, within the flow of the people drawn to our center. We've managed to stay connected to the spirit of the center, to honor the needs and the development of this place. Still, many times I feel like I'm being stretched to move in a direction I wasn't quite ready for yet. Like renting the large classroom. But that's okay and in divine order. I believe the angels know my first reaction will probably be resistance, and their divine plan takes that into account. They understand that my physical mind and body take a longer time to adjust to the expansion of energy than my soul does!
Going within the flow of Sedona has also been challenging. Sedona's energy is such that people are confronted continually with what they need to heal. Stuff comes up. You can either deal with it or run from it, but there's no in between. The intensity of what we experience can sometimes take us off guard. And usually whatever is happening on the planet is felt more strongly here in Sedona. So with a bunch of highly sensitive people in town, we usually feel things at the same time. That means all of us are having our meltdowns at similar times, and it also means we have our spiritual highs at similar times. Now that we are aware of this phenomena, we understand that there are going to be days when it feels like nothing is happening. Sometimes there are few clients or phone calls because we're all working through our 'stuff'. Sometimes we are so crowded with requests, or other people's stuff, we are calling 7 different therapists and still needing more. It's all about balance.
And then there's the going within the flow of the people drawn to our center. Many people want to work here. Many want to be healers. And healers have an inner-guidance rhythm that is faster than less-spiritually-aware people. Their stuff is going to come up faster because they are facilitating healing and because they are considering making part of their life path a healing path. If everything is in divine order, then they are to be here for whatever they need for their highest good and healing. And when they are complete with that, they move on quickly, to other jobs or other opportunities of their design. Therefore healers who come here to work, tend to not stay long. We are on our third change-over in staff. Not because people were unhappy, but for whatever reason, their life-path took them to a different place. Now that we are aware of this, we are better able to adapt to the flow of healers. There are always people wanting to work with us, so there's not a shortage, really. But I have told the angels we'd like to have healers who can commit their time and dedication to our center for at least 6 months. That would be helpful.
People ask us how do you keep the energy of your center so high and clear?
1. Intention. It is our intention to provide a center that is for everyone's highest good and healing. That's quite a statement. But when we work with the angels, they laugh and say, "Don't worry. We're just keeping you busy so we can do all the work!" and they do. Through Integrated Energy Therapy, the angels channel energy through us and take away anything that needs to be transmuted. That means we never take on other people's stuff. We couldn't if we wanted to. And we don't. That also means other people's stuff is not left lying around on the floor or in the walls.
Also through I.E.T., we have utilized an advanced technique called a HeartBeam. This is a permanent beam of love and light that provides a mini-clearing to people's resistance of their soul's purpose. We have heartbeams in various places in our center. These beams of love and light are strengthened by any being entering them, and in turn, keep building in vibration and frequency.
2. Leon teaches dowsing. When we dowsed the frequency of our center, it was a fairly high vibration, but we wanted it even higher. The angels suggested gridding the healing rooms with specially selected crystals. When we did that, we raised the vibration 4 times! And we're continually looking for ways to balance polarity and provide harmony in our space. We've found a few products we're excited about and will have their distributors and/or creators providing lectures and demonstrations about them in the near future. (Check out our website for these events:www.sedonaheartwalk.com)
3. We keep ourselves clear, through meditation like the Flower of Life or other practices, shamanic journeys, continued self growth and connection with our higher selves. This has to really come first or the previous two practices of clearing wouldn't ever work.
So okay, I think I'm through dragging my feet on this one. We are in the process of co-creating a non-profit organization called Your HeartWalk Healers. The purposes of this are a) to educate the public about non-traditional forms of healing that work, b) to provide on-going research on the non-traditional forms of healing and their effectiveness, c) to provide educational opportunities through scholarship to people wanting to train in non-traditional forms of healing that work, d) to provide service opportunities to the public (for 2 and 4 leggeds) sharing information and healing so they can experience non-traditional healing firsthand, and e) to provide a public database of local non-traditional healers, through print and web-based material. And in the way of the angels, the first person assisting this is an animal healer, and she has already found her way to Your HeartWalk Center as a teacher and healer. (Thank you, Angels!) I'm sure the rest of the team is on their way right now.
Oh, and Archangel Raphael? He's in our center, guarding the small classroom. He assures me there will be at least 2 other centers in the world before we feel complete…..
I don't think I'm ready for this.
