Processing My Grief

June 16, 2022 By Yvonne Perry

There are so many things I could write about regarding the death of my father. I usually share my personal life very openly and I’m sure I will again–and on this matter.

However, right now, I’m still processing my feelings and considering how much is appropriate and helpful to share. And there is a lot I could share:

My meltdown in Walmart
Making funeral arrangements while on vacation at the beach
Why we did not immediately return home when we learned my dad had passed
Teaching my empathic grandsons how to transmute and deal with sad energy
Memories that were brought back as my first husband (the father of my children) officiated my dad’s funeral
Letting other people have their own grieving experience

For now, I just want to thank everyone who sent kind words and were patient while waiting for me to return emails, create recorded activations, and hold client sessions. Your love means so much to me!

May Update on Enchanted Retreat Center

May 26, 2022 By Yvonne Perry

So much has been accomplished in the month of May toward completing Phase 1 of our 6-phase plan to build a spiritual retreat center. Phase 1 includes getting all infrastructure in place for roads, power, water, internet, and tool storage while establishing Lesa and my son and his family in residence. This required a greenhouse to be built on the upper ridge to house our solar power equipment and store the water supply that is being pumped uphill 1,000 feet from the creek in the valley below. It also included planting a garden and connecting with the land spiritually through ceremony and gratitude.

I have a 10’x16′ portable shed where I can spend the night in off-grid comfort after practicing my carpentry skills (or lack thereof!) in converting the wooden shed into a tiny house. My grandsons and I have enjoyed “camping out” in the shed several times. They enjoy helping me with tasks that are appropriately dangerous in line with their age and ability. Great bonding time, and we are learning a lot together!

We have accomplished 80% of phase 1 in our first six months. I’m very pleased with our progress. By the end of summer, we hope to be ready for guests who want to rough camp in nature and enjoy a spiritual retreat.

Doing Everyday Life and Staying Spiritually Connected

May 3, 2022 By Yvonne Perry

How can I do everyday life and stay connected spiritually?

I once thought that I had to spend hours in prayer, meditation, and worship in order to please God. That was a long time ago when I saw God as something outside of myself—a deity out there somewhere who was waiting for me to mess up so he could punish me.

I’ve come a long way since then. Now, I know that there is no separation between me and my creator. God lives in and through me. My mind or imagination (based upon what I believe) is creating the reality I experience day to day. Therefore, everything is sacred. There is no line in the sand dividing my spiritual practice and my daily chores—the sacred and the secular. It’s all sacred and life is fun!

Christ is all encompassing—touching everything I experience. I see myself as Christ talking to God in my inner thoughts which never ceases. it requires that I keep a close observance on the thoughts going on in my inner world. You’ll perhaps sense what I’m trying to say as Brian Scott reads this transcript from Neville Goddard as he speaks about our Inner Conversations.

April Update on Retreat Center

April 18, 2022 By Yvonne Perry

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, we are making a garden. Anyone who has tried to grow food in a former hayfield knows just how tough the grass roots are. We hired someone with a tractor to break the top layer. Then we turned the soil with a rotor tiller that Lesa’s dad gave us. Tilling revealed a lot of rocks and root clumps that we had to remove by hand. There is something satisfying about crawling on the ground and throwing rocks toward a target (a tarp spread out) while taking care not to hit someone. It’s about time to plant the seeds we’ve been collecting!

The blueberry plants are growing near the 10′ x 16′ shed that I’m converting into a tiny cabin for my overnight stays. My eldest grandson is helping me install some extra windows and get a nice cross breeze going.

We now have a rather rickety outhouse on site for taking care of bodily urgencies in private.

Some beautiful natural plants are showing up. Since we have a limited knowledge of “weeds,” we have someone coming next week to do a walkabout on the land and help us identify plants. I’ve got a pack of wooden tongue depressors to write the name on and place as markers next to the plants we can use for food or medicine. Such fun to learn as we go.

It is so good to have my son and his family living on the land with us. He has built storage for tools and those living on the land now have a way to wash and dry clothes. My son is building a below-grade greenhouse where we can start seeds and house our solar utilities and water storage to supply the acreage on the upper ridge. We are still deciding how best to pump water from the creek and springhouse at the bottom of the hill up a 700-foot incline using solar power.

Lots going on at the moment and we are having fun.

How Do You Gain Spiritual Information?

April 11, 2022 By Yvonne Perry

Spiritual guidance comes in many ways. One does not have to be clairvoyant or have a super activated third eye to get clarity. One does not have to be clairaudient in hear inner direction.

In the video below, “How To Access Your Spirit Guides,” Brian Scott offers multiple ways we can receive guidance from various input sources. And, how to tell the difference!
