Sometimes to be Unbalanced is to Live a Balanced Life

by Grace Cooley
The energy on and around Earth is pretty intense right now.  The effects of this intensified and magnified energy are showing up in strange, powerful, awful and wonderful ways.  For the past 2 weeks or so, I have had the giddy feeling one feels upon falling in love. I'm a bit of an 'airhead' these days, as a result. And at the same time, just like when falling in love, I don't really want to change anything about it. I like the sensation, even though it is a very unbalanced, and at times, scary, feeling.

I think of Wayan out of Elizabeth Gilbert's book, Eat, Pray, Love, who says (I'm paraphrasing from memory):  "Sometimes to be unbalanced by love, is to live a balanced life".  In the movie, it is Ketut who says this to "Liss".  Sometimes to be out of balance by something powerful and ultimately wonderful, is to really be practicing balance. I think of this and laugh at myself as I wander from one room of my house to another, trying to remember what I got up and went in there for. :) 

Sometimes energy such as we have right now on the Planet can cause, what humans deem to be, "bad" things to happen.  The energy is so intense and so powerful that it feels like too much to bear for some. For some, instead of producing the giddy feeling of falling in love, it can produce a feeling of having been turned inside out - so that every- and anything feels too abrasive and too intense without that protective coating of skin.  It can produce frustration, intolerance, anger, fear, anxiety, panic, etc. I am thinking, of course, of the school shooting that happened yesterday in Connecticut.

Something I heard Marianne Williamson say years ago comes to mind (again, I am paraphrasing from memory):  Think of what it takes to create an 'abusive' situation on Earth. You are in that time before this lifetime (nonphysical), and you are talking to those loved ones/souls with whom you will once again incarnate. You are all planning this next life. You all love each other immensely. You turn to one of them and say, "I really need to learn the lesson of compassion this lifetime, and I think I would best learn it if you were my father and then abused me as a child."  That soul looks at you in horror and flat out refuses, "But I love you; I can't abuse you!"  And you continue, "But I think that's the only way I am going to learn this lesson, and I REALLY want to get it this time."  The argument continues until the soul finally agrees to do it for you, b/c he loves you enough to want to help you learn that lesson. He agrees to be your father this lifetime and be abusive, he agrees to come into this lifetime and 'forget' how much he loves you and 'forget' that you talked him into it, and 'forget' he loved you so much that he agreed to it. At this point, Marianne said, "Now don't misquote me and say, 'Marianne says child abuse is okay.' All I'm saying is that on the big, cosmic level, it really IS okay; there is an agreement that happens between those souls."

Remember that we all make agreements before coming into all lifetimes. Remember who you are - you can never really 'die'. Your suit, your body can die, but YOU cannot die. Those people who lost their physicality on December 14, 2012 in CT, including the shooter, Adam Lanza, were welcomed back into nonphysical on equal footing.  On that level, there are no victims and there are no monsters - we are all just souls. I hope we can have compassion for everyone connected to this tragedy - those still in physical form as well as all of those who left us.

So like Marianne, I ask you not to misquote me and say, "Grace thinks it's okay for school shootings to happen."  What I want to remember is (even as I am crying right now) that Adam, those souls and all of us with them made some agreements. I want to remember that Adam loved them and us enough that he was willing to agree to come here and 'forget' that he is just like the rest of us:  A magnificent Being of Light who is pure love in his Essence. He agreed to be the bad guy this time to unite us against violence, to make us pull together to look at our way of life, to force us to go within at this time of intense, bright, awful energy to find out what we really believe in. How do we want to move forward in our own lives? How do we want to move forward as a Nation, as a Planet? Looks like Adam and those 'victims' have given us a magnificent, horrible, wonderful gift for Christmas 2012, doesn't it?

May we all know peace. Who was it that said, "Our hearts get broken so that the light can get in"?  My heart and prayers go out to everyone affected by this event - which IS everyone, really - and especially those who lost someone. Godspeed.

Learn How to Channel and Manifest Consciously

I hear from people all the time who are having difficulty manifesting the life and things they want.  They are working hard; they meditate, they visualize.  They can't understand what is wrong - why they have been praying, meditating and visualizing for years about specific areas of their life without seeing the results they want. They call me wanting a reading, so I can tell them how to get what they want and when that will, hopefully, happen.

Everyone knows about the Law of Attraction - you get from the Multiverse what you put out to the Multiverse. What most people don't understand is that everyone emits their own, signature, unconscious frequency at all times. And according to the Law of Attraction, the Universe responds to give you more of whatever you are broadcasting. But what if you are broadcasting unconscious frequencies/beliefs that are sabotaging your life/manifestations?

Do you have areas in your life about which you are frustrated? Areas that you have been trying to clean up for a long time? It could be that you are holding unconscious beliefs related to those areas, so that those unconscious beliefs are being broadcast as part of your signature frequency. And if you are broadcasting those negative beliefs, that is exactly what the Multiverse is going to give back to you.

We will explore ways to discover, heal and change those unconscious beliefs, so that you are no longer emitting those unconscious, possibly detrimental, frequencies and so that those frustrating areas of your life can finally change. We will be exploring techniques to heal yourself, your animals, other people. We will be learning how to channel on a daily basis - for the healing of the Planet and everything on, around and in it.

 This 5-part series covers the basics of channeling - be that energy and Light for healing, past lives or those on the other side.

We will also cover information about the shift the Earth is currently going through that will reach its peak on 12/21/12 - and how to manifest the life you really want using that accelerated energy. The energy that is accompanying this shift makes this the perfect time to clean up your frequency and manifest consciously and clearly.

Wednesday Night Channeling Class Series

To meet the demands of those who want this info, I have added another series of classes. This will be the same info, just on Wednesday nights instead of Tuesday. The Tuesday class is still on, I'll just be teaching two different groups, same series, two nights in a row. :)

This 5-part series covers the basics of channeling - be that energy and Light for healing, past lives or those on the other side. We will also cover information about the shift the Earth is currently going through that will reach its peak on 12/21/12 - and how to manifest the life you really want. The energy that is accompanying this shift makes this the perfect time to clean up your frequency and manifest consciously and clearly.

Everyone emits their own, signature frequency at all times. And according to the Law of Attraction, the Universe responds to give you more of whatever you are broadcasting. But what if you are broadcasting un-/subconscious frequencies that are sabotaging your life/manifestations? Do you have areas in your life about which you are frustrated? It could be that you are holding unconscious beliefs that are being emitted.  We will explore ways to discover, heal and change those unconscious beliefs, so that you are no longer emitting those unconscious, possibly detrimental, frequencies and so that those frustrating areas of your life can finally change. We will be exploring techniques to heal yourself, your animals, other people. We will be learning how to channel on a daily basis - for the healing of the Planet and everything on, around and in it.

Haunted History After Dark tour guests and High Park Fire donations.

Haunted History After Dark tour guests and High Park Fire donations. From Thursday the 5^th of July through Saturday the 14^th of July any tour guests paying cash will have 10% of their admission donated to the American Red Cross targeted toward the victims of the High Park Fire. Haunted History After Dark sends huge thanks and appreciation to all the fire and emergency personnel, first responders and rangers for putting their lives on the line for the safety of our wonderful residents. You are an amazing and awe inspiring group of folks. The link for the American Red Cross/High Park Fire Donation site is located at: http://www.denver-redcross.org/detalle_noticias.asp?SN=200&OP=210&id=12198&IDCapitulo=Q4Q26NY21N

Thank you also to Hand Up Cooperative for including Haunted History After Dark in their silent auction Saturday night at New Belgium. Co-coordinator Becki Evans Austin was instrumental in this project and suggested our tour for the auction. We give her a huge thumbs up! You rock Becki! If you are interested in more information regarding the extraordinary work that Hand Up Cooperative is accomplishing in the community by helping homeless and low income residents find and maintain employment, you can visit their web site at http://www.handupcooperative.org/. For the auction, Haunted History After Dark was very honored to be included in a package with the famous Armstrong Hotel and Ace Gillette's Lounge.

Despite the brown haze that has enveloped the valley in Fort Collins, many residents and guests were still excited to take to the streets to learn true tales of the macabre and meet the legends that made history in this frontier town with the Haunted History After Dark tours. They weren’t disappointed! The weekend of the 9^th this large orb (above) was caught on a staircase while on our tour. While another guest captured a bizarre spectral image at the same location. And on Saturay the 16^th one lucky tour goer had a first hand encounter with resident of a ancient grave site in the heart of Old Town when an unexpected phantom appeared on her Iphone right where Grace said a young cavalryman was standing!

If you would like to contribute to the High Park fire and take our tour at the same time please contact us at hauntedhistoryafterdark@yahoo.com.

Thank you to all of our tour guests for braving the heat and the smoke to take our spooky adventure through the streets of Old Town! Enjoy their photos below.

The spirit of young female ghost takes center stage on a Haunted History After Dark tour.

With warm evening mercury readings and blossoms on the trees, spring in Fort Collins is in full gear and Haunted History After Dark fans have been enjoying the mild temperatures with a night out on the town to learn the most haunted and historic tales of Old Town - like Jonathan at left. Hopefully, it looks like the nights hovering together in front of a historic brothel or on top of an ancient grave site in a snow storm are behind us. But, we definitely made some cozy acquaintances.

Speaking of cozy meetings, on the Saturday April 7^th tour, a young female spirit at one of our locations decided to make her presence known to our guests in a big way. Haunted History After Dark almost always makes a stop at this location, and throughout the year our guests have had many paranormal experiences at the structure. Earlier in the week, our ghost whisperer and paranormal expert, Grace, was aware of many - possibly dozens - of ghosts decending on the group while on the tour at this site. But on this night, this one was extraordinary. It was a ghost of a young girl who possibly was a visitor to this location while she was alive. This site was a dance hall after 1917, and she may have spent much time at this place. While Grace was talking about this spirit in our presence, an overwhelming scent overtook one visitor, Deanna.  Eventually Deanna smiled and pointed to her immediate left and said, “She’s right here. I can feel her. I can smell her too.” This brave participant also said, “I recognize that smell. It’s powder. It’s perfumed. It’s what they would have used back then.”

Amazingly, other guests, completely unrelated to each other, were able to detect the same scent as well. The aroma of a sweet talcum permeated a distinct area, approximately 4 feet high (the height of a young girl) and about a foot and half in diameter. The scent would move with the crowd, get stronger, and then disappear.

Deanna’s daughter, Lisa, (at right) reacted by saying, “I used to live in an “active” house and now I can feel things like this. But, this one’s kind of freaking me out!”

Through research, Haunted History After Dark has been able to pinpoint at least one death that occurred at this location during its construction. But, according to Grace, the spirits that inhabit this very haunted place are either contemporary or those who have memories of it when it was the heart of the social environment in Fort Collins.

We want to thank all of our Haunted History After Dark guests this last week, and especially the young female phantom visitor who gave all of us a wonderful peek into the past. Enjoy the photos below.

Just as some of our spirits do, Jonathan almost disappears into the white graffiti at this haunted location on our tour. The building that he is leaning on has been here since 1891. Dad, Dan, is next to him. This is the site of an 1880's jail.

This courageous crew above was part of the Thursday tour.

At the site of one of the most famous, early brothels in Fort Collins history, the woman fourth from the left (listening intently) is a Fort Collins historian and literal encyclopedia on the brothel history of Fort Collins. Haunted History After Dark got an enthusiastic "thumbs up" from this participant, and we were so honored to have her along on our tour! 

Another enthusiastic Haunted History After Dark fan, Celia from Fort Collins (above), was not on a tour, but recognized us on the streets of Old Town Saturday and stopped for a hug! Hugs are free, and we welcome them!

Thank you so much to all the Haunted History After Dark guests! We look forward to a fun spring and summer bringing you the most haunted and historic tales of Fort Collins' history!
