Susan Burrell – Healing Through Hearing Guidance

In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Susan Burrell, Intuitive Healer and Spiritual Guide, author of Life Your Empowered Life – A 30-Day Journey Book, and the host of Empowering Chats With Susan Burrell Podcast. Susan and I had an amazing conversation about:

  • What it means to live your empowered life,
  • How meditation, journaling, and affirmations can create long-lasting shifts and transformation in your life,
  • And more.

My favorite healing nugget from Susan is “I didn’t realize that I had been listening (to my intuition) my entire life. I just simply wasn’t allowing it. Now I do.”

Longing

I reached out to my friends last week as the weight of the pandemic hit me once again. I found myself longing for a face to face conversation, a long hug, a real outing at my favorite cafe, being able to travel, and seeing my family in Turkey safely. I have been having people over in my house in my dream one night and meeting with my girlfriends to enjoy their company and have a long chat the other. I reached out to one of my girlfriends who appeared in my dream and found out that she was having a heck of a day too. Then something miraculous happened. Another girlfriend texted me and said ‘Damla, are you okay? I saw you in my dream last night’. And I started to cry, I let it all out. All the weight, grief, longing, sadness for what could not be and could have been. I tapped and cried. The weight in my body and my heart disappeared.

I see miracles here and there everyday, in my daughter’s smile, in my clients’ healing and relief, or in the song of the birds. However, It was truly special to realize that there is a dream network that connects us to each other, no matter how far apart we may seem. I know that we will go through this and live our lives with meaning.

If the pandemic is getting to you, you are not alone. Make time to feel and release your feelings. If you need help with that reach out to me. I am here for you as a healer and coach.

What To Do With Broken Crystals

What if one of your crystals breaks? Here are a few ideas on how you can still co-create with your crystal:

  • Sprinkle the pieces around the outside of your house with the intention of protection.
  • Display them in a sacred corner of your house (make sure they can’t be reached by kids or pets) or on windowsills
  • Place them outside of the Feng Shui wealth corner of your house to amplify its energy (top left corner of the house when your back is against the front door).
  • Place them in your plant pots or outside where your plants grow.
  • Create a fairy house outside or in a pot and place them there.
  • Place them in a little fabric pouch for safety and add them to your bath.
  • I have also seen people pulverize their broken crystals and paint with them just like you would paint with water colors. Some crystal stores actually sell these powders.

Whatever you do, please treat them with the same love and respect that you would a whole crystal. Just because their outside appearance changes, it doesn’t mean that their essence and healing capacity does.

Ellen Meredith – Healing By Speaking Your Body’s Language

In this Conversations With Healers episode, my guest is Ellen Meredith, Medical Intuitive, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Teacher, and Author of The Language Your Body Speaks – Self-Healing With Energy Medicine. Ellen and I dove into a beautiful conversation of:

  • her self-healing and becoming a healer story,
  • how our bodies speak to us and how we can communicate back,
  • shifting our wellness point of view from asking ‘what’s wrong?’ to lovingly inquiring ‘what is needed right now for balance?’
  • the importance of incorporating touch as a healing tool,
  • and more.

My favorite healing nugget from Ellen is “(A healing question to ask yourself is) How can I take care of myself where I find myself, as I support myself to move towards things I’d rather be experiencing?”

You can find out more about Ellen and her work at her website where you can download her free e-book Seeking Guidance Within. I also recommend you to check out Ellen’s book The Language Your Body Speaks – Self-Healing With Energy Medicine. She is sharing some amazing self-healing play options for communicating with your body.

You can share it in a conversation, post about it on Facebook or Instagram, or email or text it to your friends and family. We truly appreciate your support in spreading the love and light that we hope to create with these conversations!

Gratitude As A Quality Of Being

I was interviewed for Medium.com on how each of us can leverage the power of gratitude to improve our overall mental wellness. Here’s how I define gratitude:

“For me gratitude is a quality of being. It is how I feel when I take the time to appreciate something. It isn’t reserved only for the times when I journal and write all the good things in my life. It is an embodiment of living in appreciation and understanding that every little thing that contributes to your life in some way, deserves your loving gaze.”

In the interview, I am also sharing five ways to help you add more gratitude into your life. You can watch this video for a summary of them.

The Gifts Of My Ancestors

I take my healing work seriously, both for myself and everyone that I work with. Here’s why.

I grew up in Turkey. When I was younger my parents, both high school teachers, would pack me and my brother in the summer to go work in my grandparents’ farm in a small village in the Northwest of Turkey. The village didn’t have running water. I remember going to the fountain at the center of the village and carrying back gallons and gallons of water to the house with my cousins, mom and aunts. The house didn’t have central heating. In the winter when we visited, we would all sit around in a tiny room heated by a big stove. The house didn’t have a septic system either. There was a little room outside with a hole on the ground that always reeked. The electricity would go off often and at nights we would sit with candlelight around the dinner table.

My mom had to leave her village when she was very young. She went to a boarding school for middle school, high school and then college since there was only an elementary school in the village. It was similar for my father who came from a small village in the South of Turkey. They both became high school teachers living on a budget. I remember my mom washing our clothes by hand since we couldn’t afford a washing machine. She would also sew or knit most of our clothing while I grew up.

I remember my parents, aunts and grandparents telling stories about their parents and grandparents. My mom’s grandparents were forced to migrate to Turkey from Bulgaria and Greece due to their religious and ethnic background. My mom’s grandfather was a war hero. There’s an old newspaper article that mentions him carrying a huge bomb away to save the village. They would talk about the people and homes that were lost while migrating. They would talk about wars and how hard they were, how scarce food had been. They would talk about my mom’s grandmother, how resilient and resourceful she was in the midst of all this and how much of an influential voice and authority she had in the family.

When I look at where I am, living in a beautiful and comfortable house in New England in the US, doing my soul work, surrounded by people, technology and opportunities for growth and creativity, I bow to my blood line in deep infinite gratitude. The name of my grandparents’ village was ‘Armağan’ which means ‘gift’ in Turkish. It is such a gift that I got to see and live in my grandparents’ village. It is such a gift that I got to hear their stories. It is such a gift that they have shown me that even with trauma, migration, wars, unthinkable tragedy, very little resources, and narrow odds, it is possible to make a good and honest life you can be proud of.

Every time I heal myself, I know I heal them too, because they continue to live in me and through me through my blood.

Every time I heal someone, I can’t help but heal all of us, because we are all one big family.

I invite you to make your energy healing a big priority, not just for you, but for everyone in your family. I am here if you need me.

With love, light, and gratitude,

Damla
