What's on my mind
Summer 2009

I started the Bellanina Newsletter in the Spring of 2009 as a way to communicate with my clients at Bellanina Day Spa and my graduates at Bellanina Institute.  Being removed from the day to day operations, I had lost my 'voice'.  With over 40,000 clients who have stepped through our doors and 6,000 graduates of our program, I realize that I have an opportunity to share my thoughts with a select group of people in my "community". 

I could write about facials, massage and the benefits of anti-aging ingredients, but for the most part, my audiences know a lot about that.  For the past decade, you could, and still can, open almost any lifestyle magazine and read about these popular subjects.  We are in information overload!

Something important is on the wind and is of an increasingly urgent nature that I want to talk about today. To preface why I feel confident speaking with conviction and authority, I will tell you that being an artist, a visionary as well as an entrepreneur with trade skills, I must always be moving forward to chart new territory.  It is the way God wired me.

In the 70's, I embraced meditation and yoga and started receiving massage and bodywork.  It was hard to find a massage therapist back in those days.  In 1982, I did the firewalk (walking on hot coals) with Tony Robbins when he was still  relatively unknown and then took up Pilates in the mid 80's when there were no teachers around. The way you learned "the hundred" was through a video from the PhysicalMind Institute. Then came the Human Potential Movement and soon I was back to nature, growing my own organic vegetables year round, my home equipped with solar, hydro and wood energy in preparation for being off the grid (this is currently being called the Green Movement).  During that time I developed my own innate abilities in energy healing and bodywork while cleansing and detoxing my body, all on the cutting edge of thought. 

When I moved to Ann Arbor in 1994, I began preparing to incorporate all that I had learned into my own Day Spa when there were less than 3,000 in the country.  According to the Day Spa Association, today there are between 14 to 16,000 U.S. day spas!  At that time, Bellanina was one of the first Spas in Michigan and the first to have a website in Michigan.

With a current and historical perspective, I seem to have tentacles outstretched which pulls in "what's up and happening" in my field of interest and I receive information long before the masses do.  My straight laced family thinks I am "out there" and to some degree they are right! 

I have a deep concern with the well being of our planet and its' inhabitants..... YOU!  Agendas going on behind the 'veil' will eventually affect everyone in a profound way.  In the not to distant future, we could all be walking around like we have just been punched in the belly by Mohammad Ali.  Remember how we felt after 9/11 or even last winter?  That is a warm up!  It is important at this time to begin an education about what's happening in our world that is going to change the way we live, breath and move.  It is important to hear what the scientists have to say about the evolution of our solar system and the weather patterns and what the doctors are saying about our DNA and what the Indigenous Elders and speakers for them see for our future. 

With machete in hand, in the year 2009, here I am now forging new territory through a wilderness of consciousness evolution and stepping out in a bold way.  As an opening speaker at The Quantum Leap Event in New Mexico in 2007, a shift took place that told me it was "time".  I began my preparation to point the way.

Being an Inspired Way Show-er, my new self-proclaimed title, is a tough job.  Most people don't want to be bothered with the new information as they find it an insult to their intelligence to try to tell them reality is an illusion.  After all, they feel, see, touch, taste and smell with all their senses and that's real.  If you are a "most people", you would have already unsubscribed from this enews after the first few sentences, mumbling something under your breath like, "oh brother, give me a break"!  Yes, on one level our reality is real, and there is another reality emerging that I will call a "cosmic reality" that is expanding our views and making obsolete what we thought we knew. This new reality also requires that we 'wake up' and make changes in the way we do things as we are quickly running out of time to have a lot of choices available to us.

COSMIC REALITY:

   -  This new reality is based on new models of science such as Haramein's Unified Field Theory.  If you are not yet familiar with Nassim Haramein's exciting work, prepare yourself for an exhilarating odyssey into hyperspace and beyond. Haramein, who has spent his lifetime researching fields of physics from quantum theory to relativistic equations and cosmology, will lead you along a fascinating discussion geared to a layman's understanding of the fundamental nature of the universe and creation that includes black holes, gravitational forces, dimensions, and the very structure of space itself - all of which are integral parts of his now-complete Unified Field Theory. These new models poke holes in the existing view of the universe.

   -  This new reality is based on stunning displays of Crop Circles, yet our govenment tells us there is nothing 'out there' to create them although groups of people including little children can share photos, drawings and stories of physical abductions that most don't want to believe.  We dismiss it!

   -  This new reality is based on a different model of evolution than we are taught where digging up the bones of giant humans is not reflected in our history books and is, rather, presented as myth in spite of biblical references.

   -  This reality is based on changes in our political and financial systems that don't add up and there is more to what is happening than meets the eye.  That subject is so broad, far reaching and impactful that I won't even go there but if you would like to learn the whole story click here.  There are thousands of articles, websites, YouTubes and radio talk shows sharing this kind of information.

   -  This new reality is based on planetary and galactic frequency changes which are measurable by NASA scientists and physicists.  Medical professionals and those who study living species are hinting to us that DNA is changing daily and new, never before seen classifications of phylum and species are being discovered as many more go extinct. Adepts and Indigenous Elders say that some of us will change our 'vibration' to match the Earth's and some will not. We do that by getting past fear through education and understanding, following our intuition and opening our heart.  Others are preparing to be Raptured.  I say "where your thoughts go, you go"!  We are a planet of free will and choice and much more powerful beings than we know.

In Gregg Braden's book, Fractal Time he states, "Those who have come before us knew that the end of time was coming.  They knew because it always does.  Every 5,125 years, the earth and our solar system reach a place in their journey through the heavens that marks the end of precisely such a cycle.  With that end, a new world age begins.  For at least four such cycles (or five, according to the Meso-American traditions of the Aztec and the Maya peoples), our ancestors endured the changes in global magnetic fields and climate, diminishing resources, and rising sea levels that come with the end of time.  Only five generations in the last 26,000 years have experienced the shift of the world ages.  We will be the sixth.  Our world age has an expiration date.  Almost universally, people feel that something is up."

My assignment as Way Show-er is to pique your curiosity and point you in a few directions but you have to take the first step to greater discovery and understanding. Consciousness is as vast as universes within universes.  You showed up for the party at this time on Planet Earth.  It is your journey to uncover your true nature by peeling away, layer by layer, the veil of illusion. 

So what is the question, you ask? For me it is WHO AM I AND WHY AM I HERE?  Make it your mantra and you will begin to discover how truly magnificent a being you are.  You will discover the part you are here to play in the closure of this great Age.  Please join me in making a beautiful world!
