Videos of a Session

Sessions in Wildflowerfire begin and end with a focus on priority. An introductory conversation will give you basic insight about Wildlfowerfire and uncover priorities to work on in the rest of the session.

Welcome to a Session

Once we have identified a focus, we’ll step you through several exercises. This will help clear and focus your system for further work on the table. They will also serve as supportive exercises to continue on your own, for at least a week.

Moving Meditations

Finally, once we’ve tuned you up with the moving meditations, you are ready for deeper work on a table. During this time we’ll delve into the priorities we’ve identified, and follow them through conenctions to other themes in your life. This often unearths stuck energy and creates space for the best place you can put your attention.

Work on a Table

Energy Dancing

Here’s the thing. Energy isn’t ‘a thing’. What is a thing? What is real? To learn how to understand beyond what we’ve known, we need to question what we know.

You know what a solid and a liquid are. Fire, and even gas have a common meaning to you. Yet what is Spirit? Ask this question to ten different people and we are liable to get vastly different answers. Indeed, we’ve practically enshrined the right to have different answers to this question as a detante, a way of not arguing between cultures.

The energy that flows around you, and within your body, is already shaping your reality ~ whether you believe in it or not. Learning to understand and recognize this lifeforce will immediately expand your influence over your ‘normal’ challenges. This begins with a metaphor.

Spirit is like fire and water and something… else. Fire burns and transforms a fuel. Water flows. Liquid water is easy to separate. We can divide it without ruining the rest of the liquid.

Spirit is neither fire nor liquid and has elements of both. It burns like fire and flows like water. It vibrates like sound and reacts like both a particle and a wave. It responds very subtly to our imaginations. Thus, the way we understand spiritual energy has a big impact on how it manifests.

This is the art of believing. ‘Mind over matter’ is about more than will and fierce intensity. This is the leverage and magical influence we get, when we know how to see spirit. How we see reality before we even begin to try to change things, enables fantastic influence over what is real.

Once upon a time the Greeks believed it was unholy to cut open and look into the body. They also considered medicine to be the child of Hermes, the messenger of the Gods. We use his staff the Caduceus – which represents an energy field leading up the spine – as the symbol of medicine to this day.

Then the Romans reversed it. They dove into the material, cut open bodies and even began operating. This worked to great effect. They were able to support a wide range of physical ailments. In the process they left the energy of the spirit and participated in a new taboo, denying the spirit in favor of the material world.

Now, we have a new dynamic emerging. The holistic arts are alive with the gifts of many cultures. Many of them never left the study of spiritual vibrations. They bring deep insight into the vibrations in our bodies.

By blocking off our relationship to energy, we’ve created the mistaken perception that energy is ‘one thing’ that we may or may not add to our general understanding of human life. Actually, these different cultures have focused on entirely different layers of our energetics and we have a lot of work to unite our understandings.

First step. Energy changes when it comes into the body, from one form to another. It gets denser. External and internal energy has plenty of other distinctions. Let us begin with the broad division between inside and outside our physical form.

Inside energy is – closer – to a liquid. External energy is – closer – to a fire.

A radical gift immediately emerges for those who have been working with the energy flow up the spine – which the Yogis refer to as prana. By focusing on the connection at the surface of the body, between internal and external energy, we gain NON-linear influence over our energy field.

Put it this way. If you can feel energy and are even partly able to identify blockages and congestions, you may be aware of how difficult it can be to support the flow up your spine, past challenges in any of your chakras. As a result if you are working on a power issue in your navel, or a broken heart, or a fear of speaking your truth, you may have found that each of these challenges can undermine your overall lifeforce.

Shift your perception to how the energy is emerging and entering your body directly between each chakra and the air around you. Now you can access the potential to ‘lite up’ a Chakra that is above a linear blockage.

The chakra is transmuting internal and external energy, while a denser flow is moving within the body more like a river. When we identify a congestion to the internal flow, we can use harmony and resonance to enable us to move energy in a non- linear path. This will heal and empower the chakra before we refocus on the denser level to deal with the spinal flow.

Harmonic relationships offer a more direct connection between chakras. Thus, you can nurture strength in your Root and move it to the Chin or the Lungs, passing blockages in your Navel and Heart without allowing them to stop you.

Why does this matter so much?

Energetic dynamics have not been a part of our conception of ‘normal’ in mainstream western culture. As you learn to embrace something beyond what you’ve known, it is necessary to use metaphors based in what you do, already know. Mix the metaphors of fire and water and then add the magical understanding. Energy that works with the chakras is highly receptive to what you believe.

If you believe energy can only flow like water in a line straight up the spine, that is how it will function – you won’t have influence over the shimmering light that resonates out of each chakra more like a candle flame. Indeed, prana in the spinal path DOES manifest more like water – but this is only one layer of energy.

The energy that exchanges directly between each chakra and the world around us is more ephemeral, and susceptible to our belief. Activate one chakra with your imagination and mental focus. Feel its spiritual vibration. Then associate it with the most harmonic chakras in the Key Ring. You will be able to spread the energy in your body. Without perfectly clearing each chakra in order. THEN you will be able to refocus on the river up the spine and cleanse it from a position of greater strength and health.

Let’s make this practical.

Imagine you correctly identify that the environment in a community is bad for you. You’ve struggled for years to make less dramatic changes, and nothing improves enough to support you well. In a leap of faith, you decide to leave your job. You know intuitively that it is the ‘right’ choice for you, yet your heart breaks to leave your old life.

On a Chakra level this will cleanse your Root deeply and enliven your spirit as prana to rise up your spine. The power is surging, and it reaches your heart and fractures. You can’t seem to change it. You can’t seem to repair the love in your heart. As a result the changes you’ve made in your circumstance activate dense pranic energy, but it can’t spread throughout your whole system and your progress falters.

So stop trying. If you address the challenge as a linear one, chakra by chakra up the spine, the pain in your heart undermines progress and may lead to a failure of your new life path. You’ll drown in the doubt of ‘did I make the wrong choice?’.

So ignore linearity, shift your entire perceptual level to the more diffuse connections, and follow harmony.

Harmonically, within the level of energy on the body’s surface, energy moves with GREATER difficulty directly between chakras. It is easier to shift vibrational intensity from the Root to the Chin, than it is to move it sequentially up the spine. And thus, you can nurture intensity in the Root and then empower the Chin. You can dance past the pain in your heart as you work on manageable challenges before moving on.

When you work with the Chin, this means surrender to the trance. When your heart breaks as you make a choice to dramatically change course, it is time to surrender. Do not demand answers or promises. Focus on trust and enter the trance of a transformation. Aim for it. Imagine a hypnotic state of receptivity, actively releasing demands for control and understanding – for the time being. This is the strength of the Chin, to lead you into the darkness of the unknown. To challenge you to release control as you know it, and be lead step by step into a new life.

This is direct simple Chakra magic. It suggests that the relationships between the harmonic chakras – as taught in the Key Ring – are more important than the linear connections up the spine, in many circumstances. It works, because this is how harmony works.

Do this work. then the denser prana will be freed. The more fire-like energy on the surface of the body offers you the power of moving around between chakras that are most able to activate and improve. As they come to life – it will influence the other chakras indirectly.

The strength that lights up the root when you make a change in community, lights up the Chin, and then deepens in the physical body enough that you will be ready to hold your broken heart back together again. This will allow the linear flow to cleanse the entire spine, at which point your transformation will be set into place. It will last. You will be on a relatively unassailable new path.

Wild*flower*fire

The name Wildflowerfire arrived. It wasn’t purposeful or thoughtful. It just seemed right. I was extremely excited about it for a while. Over time I began to pull it apart and recognize the various levels of meaning. It continues to surprise.

Ten years ago, I was running wild. Living on an edge I barely believed I could inhabit. I was sleeping in forests, bathing in streams, fasting, doing Yoga by the side of the road.while waiting for rides to destinations spirit alone defined. My mind cleared of media and pop culture. My expectations dissolved. My heart took over.

I found myself remembering things I’d learned years before, and forgotten. Mediations and lessons from books. The memories spoke in waves and flashes of inspiration. My past had cast rays of imagination, prayers reaching into now. I had not been able to stay with them, then. Now, I was burning with their re-awakening.

I thought of Thoth. The Egyptian God. The Ancient divine guide and gardner of humanity. I’d read information he taught in a book, the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life. Channeled by a man, Drunvalo Melchizedek, who described learning to talk with him. This channelling taught me about the 12 Chakra system. I’d never been fully able to trust the process, despite how deeply fascinated I was by it. I finally decided I would learn to talk to him myself.

Now look, we may depart at this point. So, goodbye.

To the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, Thoth, Hermes, was known to live in the inbetween spaces of the Astral plane. If you reached to him with enough commitment, he’d tutor you in deepening consciousness. Tune in to him, shift your awareness and he’ll begin to tutor you too. This was once considered normal. We, humanity, simply forgot.

I don’t remember the entire sequence, I only remember the light coming straight down. I’d learned about Kundalini releases, where the base of the spine opens and spirit Rises into the body. By that point in my path I had experienced several significant Kundalini releases. The ensuing transformations launched me on a wild holistic journey. This fire from above was something very new. A lightning bolt of soul cutting into me from above and dissolving my ability to feel energy as I’d known it.

I went to walk, numb, something stuck in stillness. I couldn’t feel. My instincts were all wrong. There was a void where there had been presence. I was terrified. I couldn’t breathe. It felt like death.

A still small voice was hopeful.

Then, returning to my breath, I attempted to apply the knowledge that had been channelled from Thoth. I felt his presence. My feet and crown regained sensation all in black and white. Then feeling moved up my legs to my root. 12 centers came into focus. I was getting ripped apart. I was barely clinging to ephemeral strands of new vibrations. Gradually I began to sense more shades and depths. The chakras as I’d known them were gone. A totally new relationship was coming to life.

For me, this was a painful and challenging transition. I have many reasons to believe it doesn’t need to be so confusing for you. First of all, I was heavily invested in the popular new age seven chakra system. I thought and felt with them every day, for years. Losing that relationship was traumatizing. More importantly, I didn’t know how to stabilize myself. I didn’t know what I could trust, or what steps I could take to focus and calm the transition. The exact source that held the answers I needed, was ripping me apart. I didn’t trust it, yet.

Now I do. I can teach you.

Over the course of the next months I learned to speak with Thoth. Its more like thinking with, really. At first I remember being woken in the middle of the night to be taught lessons in the crystal clarity of the darkness, absent of other thoughts. With time it became easier. I stayed with him for at least half a year, as I wrote down what I was learning. During this time, I began using the name Wildflowerfire.

And then I set it all aside. I didn’t let go of the knowledge, my enthusiasm dampened and I began giving myself too much credit for discovering it all, by doubting my source. Perhaps it was all in my head? Nonetheless, it worked so I kept using the system and exploring.

I don’t remember exactly what caused me to stop talking with him, but I do remember terrifying windows into what I saw as his reality, and a nasty sense of doubt that began to attack my insight. This actually was past my edge. This was too frightening to continue exploring. For a while.

Many years later he came back to me. He returned with the same daunting visits that I remembered and feared. Yet they were also enthralling. Somehow it wasn’t as frightening anymore. I’d faced many fears in the time between. There was less in the way of seeing him. It was easier to recognize my own projections and the beauty that awaited my trust.

He began teaching me again. Simple and clear lessons. Dancing between memories, deep painful and beautiful memories, from early in my path. Reminding me that I know him from long before this lifetime. Helping me cope with the dissolution of ‘normal’. He’d been teaching me in this lifetime before I knew, before I remembered, who he is. I agreed before I was born..

Now the new knowledge. It was always more interesting than anything else I had to think about. The lessons usually had clear boundaries. A piercing vibration entering my consciousness, beginning and ending in a way that helped me understand my own limits.

Don’t take on too much at once. You may be able to handle more than you think you can. Both are true.

Over time I learned to take care of people with this emerging knowledge. Repeatedly, my insight and abilities were deep blessings. So I kept going.

I began to teach courses, helping people learn over time. As my commitment deepened, the knowledge came together with more fierce strength and clarity. I can stand upon it and gaze even further.

During this time I refrained from reading much. My journey had begun with many books, but as I learned with this more direct divine connection, books seemed to live in a different world.

As I continued to grow, a nagging doubt in the name returned. Some people just didn’t think it rang right. Others thought it was ‘too out there’. I carried enough doubt to hesitate to stand behind the word(s) and yet I couldn’t seem to change it. I kept the name, but I didn’t say it with pride or joy.

A month ago, Thoth showed up amidst the chaos of my mind. His thoughts rang through the unhappy turmoil. He suggested with a smirk (yes, he does that) that I lacked clarity because I wasn’t being clear. I was trying to learn from everyone and listening in too many ways. He offered to stay as my primary teacher on a daily basis. He pointed out that he’d never offered to do this before. I gulped, and accepted.

My phone’s automatic clock promptly changed itself to Cairo time, the same zone as the Pyramids and the Sphinx.

Then, a week ago something else changed. Google suggested that I listen to a book on tape, a reading of the ‘Emerald Tablets of Thoth’. I knew this work existed, yet I’d guarded myself against getting lost in texts that would distract me from the knowledge I accesse within. The Emerald Tablets have been inherited as a translation to Arabic from the 700’s A.D. Like many ancient texts, the originals are unknown. They are written by ‘Thoth the Atlantean’ and teach about the origins of humanity and how to manage living in a body and awakening the fire within.

Halfway through the written text, he refers to us as flowers of fire.

A chill came over me. I didn’t know what to do with this at first. A slow and deep shift began within. My greatest doubt is becoming my greatest affirmation. For so many years, trust and doubt have coexisted within me.This more tangible connection to the wisdom I’ve been learning is a deeply healing affirmation. The name is ancient. The understanding is from the same source that I speak to within the silences. The knowledge both confirms and complements what I have been learning.

As the fire of spirit awakens within, it flows through the body, wildly alive. Heeling the fire mirrors the healing we must engage within our culture. Cease dominating and abusing natural will and instincts. Restore trust in the creature within you. Restore and reclaim the living, vivid, normal daily presence of divine guidance. Embrace the wildness of your natural power and wisdom. Transcend fears of chaos.

Embody the Wildflowerfire.
