Permission to be YourSelf: Start Where You Are! (Hint #1)

November 16, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

I’m excited to start this new series: “Hints for Being YourSelf”. As Spirit moves me, I will send out a new one. Each “Hint” will include opportunities for you to go deeper: a guided meditation, a writing prompt, a simple art process, or whatever else we can dream up.

I’ve been playing a lot lately with the outer expression of who I really am through color, shape, form. This is showing up through the alcove I have created for transmitting during Video courses (link to that blog), some sassy boots I can’t take off decor around my home, and the colors and fonts on my website. It’s been a really fun process to refine and refine until it feels just right.

Experience: Take a moment to breathe deeply. Ground into your body; connect with the earth.

Look at this Glyph: “Permission to be YourSelf”. What feelings, sensations, thoughts or memories get stirred up? Take another breath, inviting yourself to move deeper into your Self. Note what you “get” now. Keep doing this until you feel settled into your deeper self. Now ask: “What is one thing I know about who I really am?” Allow the “information” to come in any form: sensation, picture, words, knowing. Take a moment to record your experience in your journal, with a quick drawing, or even on a post-it.

Optional way to further cement it in: Share it.

Honor your experience by sharing it with one person you trust. Tune into the level of sharing that’s Just Right for you. You could even share it on the SoulPath Alchemy FaceBook page: [link].

“I just took a moment to breathe into myself and it felt really good”. To “When I feel permission to be myself, I notice that I have a strong sense of wanting to _______”. Notice how it feels to share. Did you pick the right way to share? Next time, would you like it to be “more”, “less”, or just the same level of vulnerability. Going slowly allows you to truly honor YourSelf. Great work!

May your HigherSelf guide you to the life of your dreams!!

Love and Light,

I figured you’d want to see them again!

She had the soul of a Gypsy, the heart of a Hippie and the spirit of a Fairy

October 18, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

“She had the soul of a Gypsy, the heart of a Hippie and the spirit of a Fairy”. Oooh, I love this! I want people saying that about me. Every day I feel like I’m peeling away even more of what isn’t me. Maybe it used to be me…but oh, how I have transformed!

So when I came upon this quote: “She had the soul of a Gypsy, the heart of a Hippie and the spirit of a Fairy”, I had a visceral reaction: my body woke up, my heart opened, and I had this feeling of stumbling upon my tribe. I’m always looking for validation that someone out there “gets me”.

I know, you’d think now that I am a woman of a certain age I’d be over that. But it turns out I’m not! And as I peel away more and more layers of what others expected me to be, I go through periods of feeling like I’m so different. Since my SoulPath is about connecting deeply, it creates a bit of insecurity. Then I find a quote like that and I get really excited. I’m sure they wrote it just about me!

By the way, you can find t-shirts and sweatshirts at https://OmandAh.com/. Now why didn’t I think of that company name first?!?!

Here’s to finding your tribe, and knowing you are it!

Love and Light,

A Girl’s Just Gotta Have Fun! OSC#4

September 11, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

A Girl’s Just Gotta Have Fun! Outrageous Self-Care #4

I’m being really good. I’ve put new course offerings on hold so I can shore up the infrastructure and clear the pathway of outdated stuff, paper, ideas, digital files. I’m doing all that WORK, but I don’t really LIKE that stuff. I’m really good at spinning it…”it will feel really good to clear it all out”. “It’s important to have a structure in place that supports reaching for the stars.” “This is what responsible entrepreneurs do”. Ya-da-ya-da-ya-da.

But the dominant part of me that likes NEW stuff and adventure was chomping at the bit! The Theremin kept calling me. I kept saying I need to WORK…leave me alone.

During a client session a couple weeks ago, I brought through some cool info about a group of SoundHealers from Atlantis and what we were up to. The tools we used were being described…”crystal bowls, a bit different from now but the same idea; an instrument like a Theremin..” WHAT!?!?! I’ve always wanted one of those! I guess that’s why I recognized it the first time I saw and heard it.

I’d looked into them before, but this time, I couldn’t stop myself. Who needs infrastructure when one could be shopping for a theremin??? [Well, I do, but that’s not the point of this story]

Now, you also know I always want the one that’s “just right”, so I did a lot of research. I spent 2 weeks looking locally for one I could get my hands on. But that didn’t pan out, so Bob and I watched LOTS of videos online. And I got a lot done in the infrastructure/clearing department because I rewarded myself with time watching videos and researching.

And, finally, I ordered an entry-level version from the Burns family. As an added bonus, I actually had an email exchange with one of the family members in the company. So I get to support another one of my values: supporting small business. I also connected with a couple theremin artists who were so helpful. I’m so grateful that I have the tools to turn my obsession into motivation! Alchemy at its finest.

So, it arrives tomorrow, the tracking says, and I’m waiting patiently. Stay tuned for MY theremin video!!

Infrastructure: Pause to Build a solid foundation to support expansion

August 28, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

Now that the BETA versions of the SoulPath Alchemy™ course and the Web of Light community gathering are complete, it’s time to use all the experience and create a solid, supportive foundation to grow my work. Thanks to my amazing mentor, Minette (PathToProfitAcademy.com), I am learning to create plans and digital infrastructure so I am freed up to focus on what I do best. So much has been built behind the scenes in the last 2 years, allowing me to work via internet and phone.

Here we are transmitting from the Studio for the first Web of Light, August, 2018. It was so much fun!

Having now hosted the first SoulPath Alchemy course online, I have SO much information and feedback to use to improve the process.

Now here are the nerdy details cuz I hear some of you are interested!!

My intentions:

All my systems work well together and make a smooth, pleasant path for clients and students as well as for me.
The look is harmonious and evokes energy that is consistent with my work.
It is easy to maintain and update/upgrade. It will grow with me.
There is a lovely balance between human interaction and automation.

I will be migrating to a new calendar/scheduling system as well as starting to use OntraPort, which will take the place of Constant Contact in delivering these newsletters as well as keeping track of many details…a digital assistant, really. Other structural changes will be implemented along the way; my resistance has been overcome by sanity! As you know, the Guides are working right along with me, as they learn to use technology to transmit light, love and wisdom. (read that blog here). On my part, it really requires letting go…and one day I’ll be really good at that!

I am so grateful to be doing work that I am passionate about. Every day, I get to share the Light, and that’s amazing!

Love and Light,

Sound and Toning to create virtual circles of light

August 2, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

I’ve been sharing about all the fun we’ve been having in the BETA SoulPath Alchemy 1 course, and here’s another example: I was toning (using sound to bring in loving, supportive energy) and invited the group to join in if they liked. I heard a little suggestion “Mute them so they will feel free-er to sing along”. I announced what I was doing, and watched everyone smile and start toning. No one on the Zoom call could hear them! They reported it’s so much better than in person cuz we can’t mute everyone in the room. They loved the freedom of being able to tone along without being self-conscious.

We are all excited about trying this during the Web of Light gatherings.

The Spirit of QuietStar: an introduction

August 1, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

Portal to the Soul (1720) by Elaina Geltner, 2017

I recently wrote some FAQ’s for the website, and thought I’d share this in a blog. Hope you enjoy a little “back-story”!

Q: Who is the Spirit of QuietStar?

A: The Spirit of QuietStar is a group of unconditionally loving beings who offer their love and support to humans desiring to fully express their SoulPath with love, bliss and peace in the Highest Good of All. They express through Elaina Geltner, via words, sound, energy, love and light. The Group as a whole is the inspiration for the Web of Light gatherings.

There are multiple expressions (beings) in this group; and each has a specialty. Narayana is the inspiration for courses and the 1-to-1 sessions that Elaina offers. Sacred Waters is the first being that ever came through Elaina, and her specialty is Women/Goddess work, focused in ceremonial, alchemical work. Thor might show up when there is a need for a strong, male energy (think Vikings….). Other aspects of the Spirit of QuietStar work behind the scenes.

Q: How does the Spirit of QuietStar work through Elaina?

A: Elaina has always been sensitive to the unseen realms. As a child she could feel and hear things that the adults around her couldn’t. As time went on, she was blessed to have adults in her life who recognized her gifts and assisted her to develop them. While training in psychology and counseling, people kept saying “How did you know that?” until it became obvious that there was a lot more available to her beyond the physical world.

Since then, she’s been cultivating the ability to be “a clear and open channel for the Light”. The Spirit of QuietStar made themselves known through writing, meditation and her training to be a channel for energy, sound, wisdom and Light. When Elaina desires connection with them, she cultivates a specific altered state of consciousness that allows her to reach into the higher dimensions. Through the relationship they have developed, the Spirit of QuietStar is able to reach “down” and connect. They offer blocks of energy and Light. Elaina uses her highly calibrated system to translate this into words, energy, and sound that other humans can perceive and receive. See also “About” page

Q: I’ve heard that you can get into trouble connecting with dis-embodied beings. How do I stay safe?

A: Training, training, boundaries, intention. Many people throw open their crown chakra and invite in “Spirit”. This is not recommended. When you are working in our groups or 1-to-1 appointments, Elaina and the Guides set up strong grids of support, protection and love and create clear intentions by inviting in only the highest beings of love and light. In our courses, each student creates a personal invocation that establishes the HigherSelf as a gatekeeper. Please use great care. It’s much safer to connect with your HigherSelf if you are new to “this”.

Q: How can I experience this wisdom?

A: Read the blogs, schedule a session, come to a class or event. Check out the “Work with Me” page here

Completing the Mosaic! OutRageous Self-Care #2

July 18, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

A while back, I started a creative project: creating a mosaic on top of the buffet in my outdoor gazebo. Thinking “how hard can it be???” I jumped right in. Re-purposing tiles that were gifted to me, adding edging pieces from The Re-Store, I started out. 2 years later, it’s finished!! In the meantime, I was focused on Open Studios, re-designing my classes and launching them online, and, of course the issue that I had never done any mosaic before. A sane person would have learned mosaic by doing 12″ stepping stones. But I chose a 6 foot by 2.5 foot project on top of a piece of wooden furniture. I learned how to cut cement board to protect the surface of the wood outdoors (ok, BOB learned how to cut it!). I realized I was over my head, so I took some stepping stone classes with Anne Hodges in Baywood Park. And finally last weekend, I got all the tiles glued down. Whew! Then I started the grouting process. You Tube videos said it would take me about 1/2 hour to grout that size. So I figured an hour. I was persistent, but it took a few days. With breaks, of course. And it’s finally done. I LOVE completing things that I envisioned a long time ago. I love the surge I feel when the energy tied into that project is freed up and available for the next project.

That’s why I consider “completions” to be an essential part of Outrageous Self-Care!

See the first installment of OutRageous Self-Care and the directory of all the posts here.

P.S. I’ve had some questions about the materials. Thanks to coaching from Michael at Green Goods, SLO, I used Versa-Bond adhesive and Fusion Grout.

Turns Out You CAN Create Community Online: News from my first online course

July 18, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

I am so excited! My Spirit Team told me for years that we could re-create online the safety and the connection that we used to have at our “in person” classes. I believed them…but was waiting for proof. Now I have it. It was only the second class when students began sharing their surprise and delight. We just had our 4th class and was so blissed-out after that, I was dancing around my house! The depth of safety and sharing is truly amazing. I would even go so far as to say that it’s actually greater than in person. Why? I wondered that myself, so I’ve been pondering it. One example is that when I was using sound to shift some energy in the group, I invited them to tone with me. Nothing happened. The Guides whispered “Mute them” and I did. I could now see them but not hear anything. Their faces lit up and their mouths moved. So safe to let it go when no one can hear you! So many of us are empaths (I’d guess almost 100% of my students are), and it’s so much easier to have good energetic boundaries via Zoom rather than sitting in the same room. So everyone gets to have their own experience, without the muddying-up of other people’s energy. Of course, the ground rules for confidentiality and respect are in place, same as in person.

I am so grateful that the technology and energy is falling into place. This allows people who don’t live locally to take classes. For example, Barbara, who lives in Florida and I have known for over 30 years, can finally participate.

We are regularly cooking up Web of Light gatherings now. It is an online version of the Sunday Vortex we held in our San Luis Obispo Center for over 10 years. Info

I am looking forward to connecting with you when the time is right.

Outrageous Self-Care #1

June 28, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

Yummy 2nd Chakra Beauty spotted on my walk

Now that my first online class is launched, I find myself reflecting on my self! So much energy has gone into the creation and birthing of this dream of mine. I am committing to Outrageous self-care: What does it mean? Right now I am exploring that part of my job is to take REALLY good care of this vehicle (body, mind, spirit) I have because it is what I use to deliver my work. And because my own well-being is so important. So I have embarked on a program of RECEIVING: massage, yoga classes, walks on the beach. And already I feel so much better!

And, celebrating! It’s easy to forget this is a big step. I’ve been doing tons of little steps to get here, and I need to acknowledge the accomplishment of this launch. More celebrations! So…I bought some fun solar dragonfly lights. I am playing in the garden. I will treat myself to more time in nature. And I’ll catch up with my friends. And, of course, baths!! Still looking for more ideas.

What do you do to celebrate your accomplishments??

Using Wake-Up Calls to Awaken

May 31, 2018 by Elaina Geltner

Something’s going on out there! We keep hearing that it’s a time of powerful transformation for all of us on planet earth*. I’m noticing a lot of people experiencing this powerful energy with extreme events:

~Opportunities they weren’t expecting; just when they got settled into that job, a new opportunity pops up.
~”Random” experiences of knowing something or feeling an energy around them.
~Earth events such as the powerful lava flows in Hawaii
~Sudden deaths of loved ones (humans and pets)
~And we’ll just cruise right past all rest of the geo-political happenings…

And many of these experiences have a bit of a shocking quality.

And I am clear that humanity is receiving a WakeUp call of major proportions.

For me, it’s the quick return to teaching and mentoring as my work kicks into high gear after 4 years of relative hibernation as I re-calibrated, studied, painted, and listened to my Guides. Now there is a lot of action, and my quiet, reclusive reality is going through a dramatic shift. I knew it was coming. Ever since my personal “wake-up call” in November 2016 (more about that in another blog post), I knew that my work would one day be “re-born”. But the quick turnaround requires that I update all my energy grids, habits and routines almost daily.

For many years, it has been foretold that the Earth would go through a time of quickening. The Earth is moving into a higher frequency and greater intensity of Light. Light illuminates what’s been in the shadows; hidden from view. The Light stirs and awakens our Heart’s Desires. Being anything less than who we are called to be becomes unacceptable.

So what’s a Human to do? How do we USE this energy for our own transformation and evolution?

I know this for sure. If I ignore or try to skirt the wake-up call, it just gets bigger the next time. My Soul will do what it takes! I make a pact with myself (my Soul Essence) that this time around, I would live my SoulPath and share all these gifts I’ve been learning for lifetimes. If I try to skate around it, the next wake-up call is more intense. So I do my best to listen up. Even when it means getting up in the middle of the night to receive a transmission. I am ever-hopeful that I am paying close enough attention to hear the whispers so I don’t need cataclysms! I think this is the task of all of us who live on the cutting edge of human awakening.

So, it’s pretty obvious that I would recommend “milking” the current wake-up call for all you can learn, so you don’t need a bigger one. And use all the tools you already have to stay centered and remember who you are and what you are really up to in this lifetime!

Listen: any way you already know.
Learn to hear your Soul and HigherSelf clearly.
Practice what you already know to do, and learn more tools as you are guided.
Draw, paint, doodle: not to make art but to allow the energy to come through you.
Meditate, chant, sing, breathe. Check out our free meditations here.
Gather with like-hearted humans in support of being who you truly are. Check out our upcoming opportunities here.
And if there’s something that’s been calling you, if there’s a change you’ve been wanting to make, maybe now is the time. The window of opportunity has arrived.
Meditate with the Glyphs (symbols and pictures) in this blog. They are designed to align you with your SoulVibration.

Here is my current affirmation. You’re welcome to try it yourself! “I choose to listen to my HigherSelf. I choose to respond. I choose to be responsible for my OWN enlightenment, healing and transformation. I fully commit to my SoulPath, as a Clear and Open Channel for the Light. I do all this in the Highest Good of All. And so it is.”

Much love!
