A Lifelong Struggle for Freedom of Expression - Issa Nyaphaga - TEDxABQ



Returning from a handful of wonderful ceremonies, celebrations and circles on the wake on my birthday, I opened my e-mailbox to discover this sweet gem of inspiration in the form of a Ted Talk in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by our dear friend Issa Nyaphaga.

He packs a lot of LIFE, inspiration, wisdom, and resilience into a wee 10 or so minutes.

Here is my response on YouTube:

Good Bye 2016... Just When I am Starting to Fully Appreciate You!

So Grateful... So blessed!

There is so much I feel inspired to share with you all, that I have kept more silent than usual. 2016 did away with usual.  

I fell off a ladder two months ago, buying my human identity a huge time out.  I had agreed to some radical life changes, taking on a co-lease, with my Soul Friend LyndaStar Thompson, and a solo lease of the front 450 sq feet of a public space for my arts and soul arts studio, a block and a half South of the Santa Fe Plaza. I am co-leasing this little dream space, as of 11/1/16.  Eleven days prior to my initiatory fall, I journaled that if I didn't step forward into my Soul gifts, I would continue to fall backwards. Needless to say, I have not journaled much since!


The business side of building my transformational practice, and bridging my writing, and art to the world, has been challenging to say the least. Most of the time, I feel like I've got two right brains, and no left brain at all. I'm all Indigo Visionary Spirit. I have built and shared a lot, considering.



Last year I got gifted an unexpected giant leap in my grown up financial responsibilities. I have learned a lot about how not to go about home repair and upgrading. I have learned a lot about how not to approach much of life! I learned this all through direct experience.




While I was told I grew up in a community of privilege, I mourn now, my crazy life with no garage door opener, no kitchen sink disposal, and no modern dishwasher.  


I live on a dirt road, in a community filled with artists, mystics, healers, and people who love beauty. The beauty of Santa Fe, New Mexico astounds me newly and boldly, every single day.



2016 invited me down roads I never expected to traverse, frankly. I made the most of them, amidst inner turmoil, rebellion, and gratitude as well.

It has been my dream to paint, and boldly express my unique soul, openly and freely, in a public venue. While I have secured the luxury of an art studio in my own home, I have not given my full energy to really enlivening my gifts in it, as I still wish to.



I found my anxiety at attempting to bridge these worlds, gifts, and prime directives, with the turbulent energies of adulthood, change, and crazy, unpredicted 2016 challenges to be more unbearable than usual, this year. I researched therapists, and did something, I've never done, in this way before. I committed nine months of 2016 to receiving transpersonal and art therapy, to face, and heal my modern human anxiety. I started the year with a healing pilgrimage to Wickenburg and Sedona Arizona.  

While on one hand, my responsibilities increased, on the other, I could not bare to live, blowing most of myself off anymore!




So as I step back, and look at it, I am inspired to see and say, that what I have gained in the energies of 2016, in serving myself first, and in slowing down and learning to receive, is an opening into new levels of joy and freedom, I am both easing and leaping into newly, now! 

I am grateful to all the mighty beings, seen and unseen, who have helped me... help me, this year. These are awesome muscles to activate!


Seventeen years into my life in Santa Fe, I am the open door, allowing me to synthesize lifetimes of Soulfulness, and lifetimes of creative expression, into something, even I don't fully know what it is yet!


This surrender appeals to me greatly!

My soulful wise therapist, whom I saw as my "Outer Guide," gave me my walking papers, early this month, and read me a critical paragraph, from my twenty page intake essay, that seemed to assure, that I am who and where I've longed to be!


She reminded me, "Do you know you have two art studios now?"  I thought of all the art I create at my friend Laura Tarnoff's Art studio, and smiled, honoring the reality where I have three art studios!




I had a Soul Reading years ago with my Friend Bernard Gross, here in Santa Fe. He saw me eating more granola, and having multiple art studios, large sprawling art studios, where I make totem like soul art for specific individuals.  

I experimented, and made one for myself, years later, where I blended my soul tools, with my creative expression through painting. It blew me away... the whole experience.  


After learning many processes, and insights from countless beloved teachers, I finally tuned in, connected with our Creator, and was gifted this spontaneous process, experience, unique soul gifts, and visual art expressions.




The Universe... Multiverse and my Team of Seens and Unseens, have rallied round my Heart, Soul and Being, and said... "Hey Kid... you envisioned this... take it... it's yours... and it's ours, and we are so excited to help you house and birth your dreams in the Mecca of Art and Artists, Spirit and Soulfulness!"

And so there is more to come, than what has even been, yet, and what has been, has been a lot!


I am grateful, above all, excited, and oh so curious.


Whatever this all is, as I can receive and embody, and accept all of these beautiful, em-powerful gifts, it fuels my curiosity, interest and fascination with what all will come through, as I tune into Fellow Bright Spirits, like me and like you.


Closing out the best and worst of 2016, I find myself grateful to be so blessed, and still get to share so much!


Namaste, You Beautiful Beings You!

Centering in Who I AM... to Hatch Some Bright Gifts to Share

 "Pueblo Purim Goddess Angel" New Painting by Jen Klarfeld

Enjoy  this new painting, I painted in acrylic, on board, at a weekly Inspiration Squad Painting Day, this Winter, at the Tarnoff Art Center, up in Rowe, New Mexico. I was graced to join in, and paint there with the Art Center's Founder, my Dear Friend Laura Tarnoff, and fellow playful, innovative Artist Friends of ours. It was one of many eclectic paintings in a very ambitious show, where I was gifted to be one of 25 or so Amazing Woman Painters of New Mexico and the Southwest. Meeting, bridging and sharing the magic with these Artists shifted me for the better, from the known... into the new!

I am feeling into the new energies on planet Earth, these days.  They include a lot... a lot of energies, old and new. Dolores Cannon reminds... we are Stewards here shifting a whole planet into a higher dimension, in a way that has never been done before. So how do we handle it?  We are still learning this moment to moment.

My focus is not so much an expert on any one thing, or a guide, or even a teacher. I am a fellow Co-Creator, enjoying the sometimes bumpy ride, along by your side!

So instead of reporting to you or defining what's going on, on the grand scale, like many prophets, guides and teachers, I'll simply tell you what's going on with me.
I wrote a book in a four day intensive retreat with Book Whisperer Tom Bird of Sedona, last Fall, at Body of Santa Fe, with a room full of amazing Creatives from all walks of life. I am so vitalized by the experience, grateful, awed, and eager to bring this gift to full fruition to publish and share with you. In perfect timing this will come. The book poured through me like Niagara Falls. Creative Expression is so easy and gratifying for me.  We are so blessed.  We are so infinite! Looking forward to more help learning and birthing this!

This year I have changed, and for one so full of words, I don't fully know what all it even is, let alone how to articulate it fully.

I've gone inward more.  I am shifting. I am learning the importance of my needs. I am seeing how I have blown them off too much, and now is a new season, with new opportunities, energies, approaches and ways.
I'm reading the menu from the inside out.  And like on my parents' visit, there are new offerings I never imagined even existed, before... like green chile apple pie.

I have been graced, this year to participate as a ThetaHealer, in the Second Sunday Holistic Fair, formerly housed at OM Blessing in Devargas Mall, and in the 22nd Annual Women's Healing Fair, also at Devargas Mall. These experiences always feel like pure Heaven to me, and I really hum, sing and soar energetically, and adore bonding with you all, in wonderful ways in these settings.
I will continue on with the 2nd Sunday Fair, yet we will offer the next one in June, out of the Center For Inner Truth, on Sunday June 14th.  Details to follow when I have them to share.

CHANGE!

In a nut shell, it feels very very new, these energies, and I'm surfing them, laying low, tuning in, coming out to play, and continuing to facilitate the awesome toolkits I am blessed to hold stewardship over, still mostly one on one, in my office on the outskirts of Santa Fe, and globally, via Skype and phone.

I am feeling new quantum gifts rising up inside who I am.  I am feeling a new call, from the infinity of me.  The call is inviting... encouraging... and welcoming me to expand my passion's wings... the wings of artist and soul artist, to flap them and lift off and soar with something wholly new and untested, mostly.  

Still budding this, and will keep you aware as it engages and ignites!

Here is my update on my talk, mere hours away as I write this.

Why didn't I prepare and share in an organized, linear, responsible, respectful fashion?
We did, on Facebook!  Please follow me there.
I wish I knew to tell you.  
I didn't turn my high school junior theme in on time either.
Sometimes my gift as what Laura calls us and all artists, a heyoka: a Lakota trickster, contrarian, jester, and sacred clown, is to come around from an unexpected angle, appearing late and rude, unfocused, and confused, while all the while softening the human experience, nudging, expanding love and permission for originality, time out, self care, and good new human rebellion.

And then there is this:
Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson


As made popular expressed through Nelson Mandela:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.

We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.


So now to the point.

Please know that thanks to some dear nudges from beloved friends seen and unseens alike, known and new, I have been assisted in hiring a videographer to film my Tribute to Dolores Cannon, and help me upload it to YouTube.  So watch, here, and on my Trailblazing Page on Facebook, for my new offerings.  

My intention is to include you, in person, or in virtual reality.

Here is the invitation to the Abbuquerque UFO Paranormal Meeting's May Talk, featuring me:
For our May Meeting it gives us great pleasure to welcome Jen Klarfeld-- she is a Special Lady.
  
Sat. May 23th @ 12:00 ( noon) until 2:50pm at the Manzano Multi-generational Center   501 Elizabeth St Se, Albuquerque, NM 87123  


Jen Klarfeld is an Artist and a Soul Artist based in Santa Fe New Mexico. Jen is a Hypnotherapist and ThetaHealer, and the founder of Trailblazing Transformation. In her practice Jen facilitates Explorers through Dolores Cannon Quantum Healing Hypnosis, Theta Healing and complimentary toolkits for empowering Human Divinity, Clarity, Guidance, Awareness, Purpose and Transformation, all from within.

Jen found her way to explorations and experiential studies in art, dance, clairvoyance, meditation, shamanism, creative writing, creative expression, dream exploration, song writing, divination, and even theater, woven in with her path taking root in hypnotherapy, Awakening Facilitation, and complimentary soul toolkits.

Jen has been blessed with the honor of having studied directly with Dolores and Julia Cannon, Dr. Brian Weiss, Sandra Ingerman, and Michael Harner, as well as in ThetaHealing, Holographic Memory Resolution, and more. Her life passion centers around creative expression in fine arts, painting, creative writing, music, dance, divination and the soul arts. Jen’s life mission centers in discovering deeper levels of who she truly is, and assisting others in their own self discoveries.

Jen has seen through the expanded awareness of an Early Indigo, Starseed, Wayshower, Creative, and Pioneer through this and multiple incarnations. She is motivated and wired to open vast infinite gifts of who she is, and to help you to do so for yourself.

Jen will pay tribute to her teacher, Dolores Cannon, Hypnotherapist, Pioneer, Author, Publisher of 19 + books, and Chronicler of Lost Knowledge.

She will give an overview of the Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth. She will explain how the call went out to the higher dimensions that the kids on Earth were in trouble, and pure-hearted, high dimensional beings were called in to volunteer to incarnate, forgetting who we were, to help the human incarnates awaken beyond blind rage, war, fear, and volatility.


She will share some secrets of who we are beyond what we’ve been taught, from her own clients and contactees’ regression experiences. She will share more of Dolores and her own findings about how the New Earth is unfolding, and the changes underway to realize this.  We will talk about what we need to let go of, to move into the New Earth right now. Jen will remind us, as per her own and Dolores’ regression sessions, why many of us who are contactees, have been programed to forget, and how we can take the high road, and recognize our larger identity, purpose and gifts, beyond the fears of control from forces outside of us.

Finally she will explain how Dolores’ pioneering, teachings, and trance process opens up the Sub Conscious, which accesses the Super Conscious or All Knowing Self, to facilitate healing, guidance, purpose and life change, knowledge of cosmic origins, and powers of the unique soul, underlying this life expression.  She will explain how Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy bypasses fear, to reach the Omniscient Source Self.
An eclectic selection of Dolores Cannon’s Books will be available for sale, on a first come first serve basis.
Thanks Mike

"Where the Pavement Ends" a Blessed Creative Immersion!

Building Steps in a painting of mine...
Reviewing our work with James Koskinas

Completed abstract paintings by Jen Klarfeld and Laura Tarnoff

My completed paintings, at the close of our Painting Immersion
We had so much more fun than this, yet here is a visual sampling of highlights and paintings we made, when Laura Tarnoff and I got to be Artist Guinea Pigs in James Koskina's revolutionary weekend art intensive, "Where the Pavement Ends."  

I feel forever opened, enriched, enhanced, freed, and highly possible as a Creative.  So very grateful, blessed and excited.  2014 contained many blessed jewels.  I am still unfolding, discovering, and enlivening the foundations built, and steps taken in this beautiful, rich, full year.

So much joy, love, learning, and adventures shared!


Thank you to all who initiated and participated.  We're so blessed!
