May 2025 Newsletter - Resistance, Avoidance, Fear, and Truth Podcast, Project Update and More!


May 2025

SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS IN TRAUMA HEALING

This month’s Spiritual Conversations in Trauma Healing is “Resistance, Avoidance, Fear, & Truth”. Debbie and I discuss the differences between denial and resistance, and resistance and avoidance. What does these mean in reference to things we don’t consciously know about ourselves and accessing this info?

We ask and discuss whether we can acknowledge the resistance, how it shows up, and what can be done when it appears in trauma healing. Additionally, there is a dive into somatic truth. What does the body recognize and express as the truth and validity of repressed memories? How have people tended to respond when you or another share that deep inner truth in what happened to you? Have the statements we discuss been said to you? Are the responses dismissive? Are they caring?

Stories are shared, and Creator’s teachings are given. Feedback is always welcome.

Enjoy the Listen!

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH

As many of you have received my newsletter through The Flow of Healing platform, you are now viewing it through the not-for-profits’ newsletter in a different background. This has been a gradual move in writing the same newsletter for both platforms for the last couple of months.

We received notice in March that Mail Chimp is no longer free, and that moved us forward to consolidate into one format, which I have been wanting to do anyway. The beautiful greens and our deeply symbolic logo (designed by Sheri Lewis), is now officially our format going forth. Personally, it’s shifting me to be more in alignment with my creativity and life purpose.

The old Blogs for the Soul that I wrote for many years, are slowly being re-edited and updated. They have some great stories and information in them. You can catch the latest one, “Are You Still whole?” It’s an eye opener. https://www.themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/are-you-still-whole

THE MOVING BEYOND TRAUMA PROJECT NEWS

The Moving Beyond Trauma Project has been my dream in helping the world at a larger scope for many years. Our goal is to eventually have free healing centers for those abused as children. In order to create these, we are implementing different ways to bring financial abundance and products through our not-for-profit. Donations are always welcome. Plus the books are on sale at our website in digital/pdf form (with special pricing), and on Amazon.
https://www.themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/

We want to have the three books of the ‘Moving Beyond Revised’ as resources for many languages. Book 1 is almost translated into Chinese. There are four wonderful people working on this part of the project who have multiple skills including being ThetaHealers®. They live in Taiwan and Australia, and are dedicated to bringing the revised book, information, and resources to their area of the world. My heart and soul feel so blessed!

Additionally, our team is growing. We have added Marianne Karsh, a ThetaHealing® Master, Certificate of Science grad, as our coordinating Instructor for ThetaHealing Seminars. She will be occasionally assisted by Janet Charette, also a ThetaHealing® Master, Certificate of Science grad and trauma-educated, who does our Facebook postings for the last 4 years, which we so appreciate!

Marianne has many years of experience, is trauma-informed, was part of my book club for the original Moving Beyond, and is even helping me with editing the Tier One practicums. Book 1 practicum is well on its way of being completed.

If you have not taken ThetaHealing workshops before, are interested, or need to renew (every five years for a practitioner), please consider contacting Marianne. She teaches online and in person. She and Janet can be found at: https://www.themovingbeyondtraumaproject.org/about-us

ASTROLOGY

May is going to be a very different month. After the intensity of April, pressure is going to ease up…a little bit. This is a turning point month where bold renewal and inner healing meet. Whether we’re healing emotional wounds, starting a new project, or embracing leadership with responsibility, it’s essential to notice how we’re handling the changes.

In Aquarius, Pluto will go retrograde on the 4th running through mid-October. This will ask us to face what lies beneath the surface, diving deep into the subconscious by shining light on hidden fears (perfect podcast topic to support you). It’s a time to deeply reflect and reassess where we hold power in our lives. There may be a slow, steady excavation of outdated beliefs and power dynamics that no longer serve us or society. It’s a chance to rebuild our foundation from the inside out by integrating new ways of thinking about freedom and innovation.

The energy of the Mars-Pluto opposition from April 26th (intense energy that tested our limits, can bring matters of trust to breaking or turning points, confronting betrayals, struggles for control or power) will fade away by the 6/7th.

Mercury will move into Taurus on the 10th, bringing a shift of focus on clarity and practicality. This energy benefits anyone looking to make careful decisions or long-term plans with real staying power. This transit asks us to build upon ideas thoughtfully, layer by layer, so that what we say and decide aligns with our core values. This energy sharpens our ability to communicate clearly about resources and personal priorities.

The full moon in Scorpio on the 12th creates the need to delve into our feelings as deeply as possible. There becomes a desire for meaningful emotional exchanges which may push us to change many things, including shallow relationships.

The Sun aligns with Algol from May 15 to 17. It’s one of the most potent and ancient star gateways. Algol, known as the “Demon Star”, symbolizes an intense process of death and rebirth as it cuts through illusions to reveal uncomfortable truths. It’s not about avoidance, but like the phoenix rising. It has us stepping bravely into vulnerability to release what needs to die for something new to emerge. Once courage is summoned, this raw and potent transformation promises us profound healing.

Between 17th and 18th, the Sun and Uranus are conjunct in Taurus marking a moment where the urge for change converges with the need for security. This feels like a climax, a flaring up of creative breakthroughs while respecting the need for a stable foundation. It revolutionizes our life while keeping us grounded.

The new moon in Gemini on the 27th, opens doors for new communication channels and ideas. It’s a great time to start new projects, cultivate curiosity, and make connections.

On the 24th, Saturn enters Aries having been uncomfortable in Pisces. It asks for a different kind of leadership—one that’s not just about action, but about thoughtful timing and accountability, discipline and dedication. It’s the time to take full ownership of our goals and choices, avoid power struggles, and learn to work with steady purpose rather than impulsive responses.

Enjoy this May’s journey!

TRAUMA HEALING INSIGHTS
From Moving Beyond Revised Book 1:

“Emotionally, the child interprets the distress caused by the emotional aloneness as a personal flaw, an identity piece, or blaming themselves for being wrong—perhaps to their core existence. These feelings have thus been internalized…” [Book 1, p. 222]

TIPS FROM VIANNA STIBAL:
Founder of Thetahealing
® Technique

“As you become acquainted with the Seventh Plane of Existence and the Creator of All That Is, it will become impossible to be affected by psychic energy attacks.” [Basic ThetaHealing, p. 202]

Plastic material that dissolves in seawater
The international team, which also includes the University of Tokyo, hopes that the new material will help reduce environmental pollution, including that caused by microplastics. The team found that it can give various properties to the material, such as heat resistance, hardness and tensile strength, by tweaking one of the two mixing monomers.

April 2025 SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS IN TRAUMA HEALING With all that is going on throughout the planet, and the collapsing of the ‘old world’, Debbie and myself discuss, “Build a New Model of Change”. We angle our conversation based on our experiences of how external (outer world) structures affect our internal (inner world) structures and vice versa; and what that means in trauma healing. We share pertinent stories and examples. A beautiful meditation is offered to help understand that change...

When people have been abused as children, these characteristics become skewed. What are the criterias that have you feeling loved or...
