Greetings!

Sometime last week I sent out this journal entry to friends and
family. In it I talk about my experience of having moved back to
Nebraska for right now to take care of my mother. I received such
warm responses back that it inspired me to begin a Blog which will
share these experiences and offer insight in to the journey of a
caretaker. A friend of mine, who is also dealing with her 93
year old mother, and I might even start a weekly conference call
for caretakers. We are talking about this now.

The idea would be to provide a place where caretakers could get
support and participate in doing tapping sequences not only for
their own benefit but also to do surrogate tapping on behalf of
the recipient of the caretaking.

Some of you may have heard of the concept of “surrogate
tapping.” It is when we tap on the symptoms of another and it has
impact. I started doing this the other day while I was working
out. I tapped on my mother’s symptoms of heart disease and her
pain from the hip fracture. I even started tapping to pre-pave her
transition - praying, if you will, that she make a smooth and
peaceful exit when the time comes for her to do so. I encased this
in the affirmation that only which is for her highest and best would
take place so as to not over ride any plan that she and her higher
self might be charting.

I plan to affectionately call the Blog the “Dalai Mama Diaries.” If
you or someone you know could benefit please pass on the word.

I also recently signed up for a new software which will enable me
to offer weekly, on-line seminars in the fall. I plan to do a
series of free seminars initially to cover material that is
currently on my web site. Once I get the program up and running
there will probably be a minimal, monthly fee. I am excited about
this prospect in that it will lend itself to my offering my work at
a much reduced fee. The program allows for break out sessions and
discussion so I think it will be a nice avenue to bring a more
interactive relationship to my web site.

I recently made the decision to temporarily move from my home in the Twin Cities to the middle of Nebraska thinking I was coming to help my 93 year old mother prepare for and make her transition to the other side.

Instead, it appears as though she has re-enlisted.

She is amazing - this mother of mine.

She is in a total state of bliss. Her doctor had recommended hospice but upon his first appointment with her after I had brought her home from the hospital he assessed, with pleasure, that hospice was not appropriate at this time. She is now simply on home health care which means, besides intermittent health care support, it is just mom and me.

I grind all of her favorite foods so she does not aspirate and I respond to her every need without hesitation or delay.

Other than this - I watch. I study. I learn.

My cousin was over last night. Mom told him she could not be happier to be home. Then, she glanced over at me and added, “I am not sure Cathy is happy about it - but I sure am.”

I laughed and said, “ No, I would not be here if I did not want to be. I am too damn old to do anything I do not want to do.” He and I laughed. Mom smiled. Then I added, “It is a gift being with her at this point in her life. I lovingly call her the Dalai Mama! She is ZEN personified.”

And this is true. It is simply amazing to watch her - yes, even study her. She is at home, literally and figuratively, and she is modeling for me how to be the same.

She is, at this time in my life, my greatest teacher. She is teaching me how to just be - in the moment - totally fulfilled for what each moment offers, without expectation, without disappointment.

Heart-filled seconds - thankful to just be. Feet bobbing, in child-like fashion, she closes her eyes and sleeps in her recliner. Unadulterated joy exudes from the heart of her soul right out the bottoms of her feet!

I asked her once if she were afraid to die. She paused and said, “No, not really - I just love living so much I don’t want to leave.”

It feels so gratifying to be here that I called my best friend the other day and asked if she thought perhaps I was hiding from my own life because this felt so good. Having been through this with her own father she assured me that was not the case. “It is just so relaxing to be in their presence… there is a peace and a serenity that seldom we get to see.”

I know at some point the end will come - maybe next week - maybe in a month or so - maybe not even for a year - but each moment is a gift - it is a dance we do as we waltz through her daily routine of meds and exercises and short trips to the bathroom
with oxygen in hand.

A high school friend, who lives down the street, links me to the outside world. A baby monitor provides mom and I the freedom to be away from each other while still in touch. My work-out equipment, computers, printers and all of my office paraphernalia have taken over her basement. I continue to write, to do my radio show, phone consults and even on line webinars, but I am forever listening - as if I am her higher guardian - just a whisper away. She calls my name and I am within 7 seconds of responding.

But I am always listening. I have become familiar with her sounds … the crackling sound of her opening her favorite piece of candy … the cough which summons me to offer her a sip of water … the sound of her sighing as she watches the birds outside … but mostly the sound of her breathing. The other day I had the monitor close by when I was doing my daily sit ups and all of a sudden I realized I was pacing myself to her rhythmic breaths. It was like being back in the womb - magnificent - breath-giving - spell binding.

Yes, at this time in each of our lives, we are dance partners and our dance cards are full. It is just me and her - me and my dog and me and my work. What a reprieve from my day-to-day world. In this small town in the middle of Nebraska where there is one stop light, one grocery store and health food is Kraft cheddar cheese and jiffy peanut butter - I am learning how to just be.

For the month of July I will venture away from the live, on-the-air
sessions with a series of interviews and live conversations. I am
gearing up for the upcoming week-long intensive at the renouned
Kripalu Retreat Center in New York (August 16th - 21st - check the
web site for details) and will be featuring guests which
relate to the topic of BEYOND COMPASSION “Accessing Your Point Of
Power through Loss.”

In fact, from now through August 16th I will be offering, FREE, a
pdf file of my 38 page story about this topic. Again, I inivtie you
to listen to the show and make a comment or go to my website and do
do the same - notify me by email and I will forward you the pdf
file. It is a tender story about the passing of my canine
friend - and how I used my work with the inner child and “tapping”
to access my power point as I traveled through that loss. I am now
using this same combination to deal with the situation with my own
mother. In fact I just taken a leave of absence to return to
Nebraska so I can bring her back to her own home for her transisiton.

With resepct to the show this first week I introduce a completely
novel approach.

Merging the written word with the live conversations available through
radio I launch, what we hope will become, a new monthly segment
on my show.

This new segment will feature interviews and topics from THE EDGE -
the leading metaphysical magazine in the Midwest!

Billed as “the soul of the cities,” THE EDGE brings to its readers
invigorating and inspiring articles and interviews about the
pertinent topics of our times. I will now have the supreme
opportunity to bring those same inspirations to you through live
conversations with those same contributors. This week I will be
interviewing the publishers, Tim Miejan and Cathy Jacobosen.
Having worked as staff for THE EDGE for many years, Tim and Cathy
recently purchased the magazine and “birthed” a whole new look.

Join us for this live conversation - hear their vision, their hope
and their commitment to bring forth the most current perspectives on
living life with heart and soul. Get a preview of upcoming
interviews and events which will be brought to you through this
new monthly segment of my show!

On July 8th, my dear friend and colleague, Echo Bodine, author,
psychic, healer and teacher will join me for a live conversation
about the state of affairs of our world.

Echo and I will reflect on the opportunity these global and very
personal situations offers for expansion and growth.

Please enjoy this excerpt from my book ‘Soul Steps’.

The Importance of choosing an event-

It is highly recommended you begin this program by choosing an athletic event or milestone for which you design a strategic plan for success. It is irrelevant what that event is. Just by choosing an event, establishing a goal and devising a plan to achieve that goal, you provide your psyche with the structure needed to move into the new you. You give your inner child a goal for which it can work and an event which it can anticipate.

By designing a day-by-day plan you regain the trust of your body through your daily willingness to show up. In return it gives you a way to integrate the new you.

The Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Weave-

By examining the impact your childhood issues and belief systems have on your daily behaviors you seize the opportunity to compassionately befriend the saboteurs within you who are afraid of success. Each part will be identified and each aspect of you will be given what s/he needs in order to allow you to succeed.

You are being invited to embark on a journey whose structure assists you in moving forward in your growth. As you have already read, each of us has that aspect or habit which sabotages even our best intentions. In this program that aspect is again referred to as your cherished saboteur.

If you would like to purchase the 90 day program to get your Journey started, please fill out the Contact Form.

Thank you and be well.

until next time….

Greetings -

For the next several weeks I will be revising my
format and creating the themes for my Take A Soul Step Blog Talk
Radio show - so don’t be alarmed when you see it is not scheduled -
the new launch date is Wednesday, June 24th, 2009.

Enjoy the last days of spring as we step into the energy of summer.
I will continue to give updates as appropriate.

Be well. Cathryn

My Blog Talk Radio Show dated 5/27 dealt with this subject in detail. If you missed you I invite you to access the archive.  The link is on my home page.  

I hope you find it useful!

For those of you who would like a free copy of my “Attracting Right Livelihood” E book I would welcome your comments or questions. 

You do deserve to have the career of your choice and your inner child can show you where you are stuck.  Embrace him or her and help to neutralize the fears and you will attract all that your heart desires.  Be well.
