Healing Potato Chips
My friend and teacher, Deena Spears has begun teaching again, after a hiatus. She does healings and weekend workshops that work with music to help you gauge the changes you’ve helped bring about. I’ve finished her level 1, 2 and 3 classes. I can vouch for her healing ability - she can track like no one else. During workshops she requested that people refrain caffeine and other toxic substances. Well, I was (and sadly still am, as I clutch my teacup) addicted to caffeine. The headaches I got from the withdrawal were fearsome and I was not about to go through one of those and learn the day long healing techniques! So I guzzled a contraband Pepsi. I walked into her house and she looked at me, and said, “Oh you’ve been drinking caffeine.” I whined about headaches and she said, “I can take care of that for you,” and proceeded to remove the caffeine from my system and also the aftereffects. The entire weekend, I did not drink any more caffeine and had no headaches. I promise you without her doing her vibrational tuning, I would have been a wreck.
Deena says (and I am paraphrasing) that if you can heal a person you can heal anything- even inanimate objects, like a potato chip! She is a great example of someone who integrates healing into her everyday life. Although this was a few years ago, she proved to me that her integration of the concepts she taught were really that - she lived them. An example - so this was before “What the Bleep” was available in movie theaters - I believe it was a small, independent effort at the time. Someone brought up the movie in the workshop and said how it was a great example of what we were learning. Deena thought for a moment and said, “Oh it sounds wonderful - wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all see it together!” Her wish was the Universe’s command. Later that night, someone called her and said that they were showing a small movie the next evening, that she might be interested in seeing - called, “What the Bleep?” We all were enthusiastic about seeing it, and wound up in someone’s living room, with a vhs screening version of the movie.
After we watched it and were all in agreement that it was a great movie. I commented to Deena about the seeming miracle (remember, it was not in wide distribution to movie theatres at the time) and she was very matter of fact about it, accepting it with gratitude but not unduly attached to it. This has stuck out in my memory for a number of years because it was a great lesson to me- don’t get so stuck on something happening or not happening. I’ve been able to practice with varying amounts of success.
Deena has a great website, http://www.singingwoods.org which gives more information on her work.
