• Float Therapy - There are other ways of attaining altered states without drugs. My experiences include meditation and floating. Both allow relaxation and stress relief. In the past year I have had several float sessions. Each was different. Three were incredibly helpful in my recovery from whiplash after a car accident. The headaches stopped and pain decreased in my neck, shoulders and back.
  I began floating to experience a deeper state of meditation and that does work for me. If you are interested and in the Kansas City area, Floating KC runs various specials and offers a discount for a first time session. Mention this blog. There is a current Christmas offer. 12/17.
  What is floating? Floating KC Suggest trying a minimum of two or more sessions. The first session is an adjustment to the new conditions. It is easier to relax after that initial introduction. And the zero gravity massage chair, prior to the float, is fantastic.

Next Interview, 4/22 guest on Wendy's Coffeehouse is Terry Albright, back for round two. We get to frequency, teased from the first interview. Part One. But the show opens with a detour, a dive into the movie stuff. This stuff left scars.

He sent a few images for the show. Sharing two here. Bigfoot and the Roar Pic.

Roar - Terry w/Tippi Hendren

Haven't heard about the Movie, Roar?

Bloody background here: Animal Planet Documentary.

Wiki - 'Roar was shot on location at Noel Marshall's private ranch in Acton, California, with its production spanning a total of 11 years.[5] A flood at the ranch three years into the shooting process caused over $3 million in damages, creating further setbacks to the production.[5]'

How many suffered injuries during filming? Better question: Was there anyone involved in the filming who survived unscathed?

Estimates are 70 to 100 were hurt. Terry was there. Reading other recent accounts, it seems that number might cover only those who stuck around to complete the filming and make the tally.

Sasquatch or not ...

Enough with the blood.

What might a Bigfoot/Sasquatch print look like?
Maybe this is one.

Terry also provided some audio clips. I'll add that in the next post.

Inquiring minds?

At the final minute of the show Terry opens a new topic ... and a set up for our July interview.

Playing in the Quantum fields. Enjoy!

Engaging awareness through Shamanism -

Lynn Andrews and Robert Taylor are co-creators of the Sacred Oracle Cards, available on Amazon and on Lynn's site.

Lynn and Robert join me for two interviews. I am so glad to have been able to talk with both of them for Wendy's Coffeehouse 12/17/17 and Conscious Living 12/13/17. You'll hear something different in each show as we have plenty of material to work with. My notes in this post include references and links related to both shows.

Lynn Andrews, known to many for her Medicine Woman series, now in the 46th printing, has some 20 books. In four decades of work, Lynn has traveled the world and trained alongside a diverse group of medicine women, as such, developing a treasured archive of shamanic wisdom.

The Los Angeles Times: “Andrews’ narrative opens a window onto an aspect of Native American culture seldom explored. Her portrayal of the pre-eminently sacred role of woman and the traditions that keep their ancient wisdom are remarkably accurate.”


In Lynn's own words, “To me, shamanism is about light, and when I say light, I mean making the world a better place. It is an understanding that there really is a power in prayer, truly.

And no matter who it is that you pray to, if you pray with your heart, you can change your own life, choose what happens in your life and how it turns out. I think we have the power to do that."

Sacred Vision Oracle Cards are
also interactive. Read here.

The cards I pulled for the day were perfectly in sync with the content. One of the themes is Observation. Try a sample 3 card read.
The cards I chose are featured in the photo.

So much ground to cover, we hit a few highlights. Lynn speaks about the purpose of the new cards and her collaboration with Native Artist Robert Taylor.

She also emphasizes the importance to her in working with women on self-worth and spending quality  time with the group that is close to her heart: Sisterhood of the Shields.

Robert's artwork deftly interweaves the shamanic element into this deck through color, symbol and metaphor. Each design is capable of triggering knowing beyond the image. I really enjoyed hearing his perspective.

In the companion book, Lynn provides the interpretations for the meaning of the card and Robert addresses the nature of the visual he created. Images and energy merge to combine the two talents in a wonderful fashion. This is not a contemplative deck, rather, it is a catalyst for change and active engagement, an energizer to get the ball rolling on whatever issue is ready to be examined. 

Robert Taylor's work is currently on exhibit at the University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art through December 30, with 60 pieces on display. OU. He was recently profiled in the Oklahoma Gazette. Including more background on Robert's unique painting style, from 1997, read this feature in Southwest Art.  Follow Robert on Facebook

When I repeated what I read in regard to the teacher who asked Robert why he insisted on painting Indians, he said the language in that conversation was quite blunt. The teacher asked why he chose to paint "savages". Robert left the class and took another path to acquire his skills.


There are many ways to respond to a hurt, a slight, a slur or an insult and then there is your way, the one that sets you on your journey. As Lynn says, these cards are intended to help quicken the connection to the work at hand.

I appreciate the stark contrast presented in the characters on the cards to the purposeful use of color, enlivening the animal messengers and symbolism. There are hidden meanings and code in the image creations, combined with Lynn's words, the cards inspire introspection, spontaneous knowing and deeper connection communicated within the image. 

In working with the imagery, I have already had a very powerful vision. One of the characters in the cards made an appearance in the dreamtime as I was drifting back to sleep. Funny thing, I forgot it until triggered later in the day by the sight of geese flying overhead.

The vision colors and imagery involved vivid jewel tones and a pose very much like that Buffalo and Prairie Dog. I have been visited by a new teacher. The door is open and the adventure is calling. Am I ready to explore? What is life if not an adventure for explorers? The cards work.

"Remember the world is shaped by the dreamers NOT the critics." - Robert Taylor

*A note on the church - with the fantastic and highly unusual, illuminated painting. In listening to the Empower show I realize I misspoke, it is in Taos. It was the first place I was called to as I began working with the nightlight energy in 1997. San Fransico de Asis. Very special energy there.
