One of my favorite things to do when a word comes up that seems rather significant within the realm of a healing session, or a new idea or project, is to type that word in to dictionary.com -- not because I want to find out the definition of the word, but because I want to find out the etymology of it.
The root, the original meaning of the original form of the word. What its birthplace says about its history and usage.
During a healing session a few months back a client and I were discussing dreams. Not the psychologically healing experiences one has while sleeping, but dreams in the sense that many people say: Oh well, so-and-so is what I do for a living. But my DREAM is.....
And fill in the blank there. My DREAM is: to own a fishing boat. To make jewelry for a living. To live on the ocean. To work with horses every day. And so on.
I have noted that many people feel whatever they do day-to-day is Reality. And then, the Dream is a non-achievable fantasy wish.
So I plugged the word "dream" in to dictionary.com. When I saw the what the word originally meant, I practically fell over. Check it out:
Origin: 1200–50; ME dreem, OE drēam joy, mirth, gladness.
Joy, Mirth, Gladness!
So what is it that keeps us from our dreams? They are not surreal fantasies. Our dreams are that which brings us our joy, mirth and gladness! Our dreams are our Prosperity!!
I am following mine. So far so good. Joyous!
Will you begin to follow your dreams today? Keep me posted! Let's start the Joyous Dream Brigade, together!

WWTN #25 - Writing from the Roots
Greetings,
It has been quite some time since I have written one of my e-newsletters.
I have been a busy bee, as you know from receiving notices of specials and events, but whenever I would sit down to write one of these, something would always distract me, or make me second guess my "topic".
Despite my hibernation keeping in line with winter, I have been in quite a "go, go, go" mode energetically; and my body is finally catching up, along with Turtle, telling me to "slow--slow--slow."
And, so, I go: Ahhhh.
Here I am.
And there you are.
How have you been?
How are you now?
2009 is such a beautiful year.
I am so happy to be here.
We have been so transformational.
Now the change has finally happened.
I feel it.
I love it.
I write it:
Butterfly is rainbow, full, sorceress, innocent, pure and all powerful.
Giant Bird is working on our behalf, carrying the message of love between dimensions.
Water Cave is strong and solid. Standing on the water gives us power. The Sky our greatest teacher.
Tell us Sky, what to know for now.
Sky says:
"Whispers in images like fog of double-helix, rain wears a coat of air to carry itself lightly and light wears the shimmer of pink energy to show itself love...
a healing for you
a healing for you
a healing for you"
Earth pulsates with happiness at meeting again our faces, our spines; curly-cue-ing up through the portals to bring its gifts of hot stone and total release.
The ants like it, (you'll love it) they say
I listen with my head-bed on ground and the pebble whistles crooningly
"you are the sunshine"
...
And there you have it!
Peace and Love, Jen

WWTN #24 -- What it Means to BEE: Info, Updates and Healing
Hello beautiful souls,
I wanted to update you on Wolf Wisdom goings-on!
Spider Workshop will be coming up again at the end of the month--October 28th, in fact--and we have caught many things in our golden web that will lead up to that workshop.
First of all, the Grand Opening of the Life Force Arts Center is happening mid-month! We are very pleased that due to the spiritual inspiration and earthly diligence of shaman Joan Forest Mage and all her helpers, she has birthed Chicago's new shamanic center, to open October 15th. This is a center for Shamanic and Spiritual Art and Education, smack dab in the middle of the windy city, on Lincoln, near the corner of Lincoln, Ashland and Belmont. 3148 N. Lincoln, to be exact! Amazing events are being scheduled to celebrate the center's Grand Opening Week, October 18-24! Events TBA. I am on the literary arts committee for the center, and I will also be co-managing the center along with Joan Forest Mage and Kate Niklasson.
Another fabulous turn of events is that the beautiful Wild Tree Cafe in Evanston, where I have had the lovely opportunity to work a couple shifts a week for the past several months, is growing from just a beautiful cafe in to an amazing center where there will be workshops and creative events of many kinds, inspiring healing and growth, spontaneity and joy!
And starting Monday, October 13, I will be teaching a weekly workshop entitled:
I will be sending out more info on that workshop as well.
For some time now, clients have been asking me when I will start teaching Healing Classes (for people interested in becoming healers). I have also received email inquiries regarding my practice to this effect. I listen, and take seriously what I hear. After an incubation period and a deepening of the concept, I am now offering:
I will be working with my students on an individual basis, rather than in a setting where there are several students at a time. After looking in to it energetically and talking with my guides, I see that the people who come to me are all very different stylistically--yet most of them have in common the desire to awaken and work with their inner-healer, perhaps even at a professional level. I feel I can benefit my students most by working one-on-one with them to bring out their unique healing voice. This is not a certification course, but rather a course to learn how you personally heal yourself and others, and to be able to stand in the power of your healing-self. Email me for more information at wolfwisdomhealing@gmail.com
Spider, my teacher, has been working with me as we compile the Star-Awakening Doctrine. More to come on that!
Ah yes, and if you haven't already, please check out samples of my shamanic sound healing pieces here: www.myspace.com/starsoundhealing
The group is getting together to plan a format of how we will be offering Sound Healing as a service. More to come!
And so we come to the source of the thread, the wide golden web, woven to catch all these precious star droplets. As the stars nurture me, I send it back out in to the Universe. Fabulous, fabulous!
I will be sending out individual notices too of each above-mentioned event--but there was so much in the web all at once, I first wanted to cast it as One.
Love and Peace,
Jen
...
BEE HEALING
Oh yes, and today, about 1 year after Bee first came to me to request a healing during last year's shamanic performance-art piece, Bee came requesting more healing and to spread the word--so if you would take a few moments to cast healings and blessings for the Bee community as they settle down for the fall, they will be able to process all of our love and energy while they sleep through the coming cold. Please pass this on to all you possibly can, so many may join in the Healing for the Bee community.

WWTN #23 -- First Official S.T.A.R. Sound Healing Recording -- Surprise!
It's a rainy day, and it smells like fall.
I gave the Star-Healing Workshop on Sunday, and something happened, and things are beginning to shift.
Fall to Summer, Fall to Summer, Fall to Summer--repeatedly for the past three days--losing leaves and bursting with regrowth, rapid seasonal changes, over and over.
So here I am, new, for the bazillionth time, in several dimensions, in three days.
For the first time in several months I sit down to try to attempt recording a song on this free downloadable recording software that I have in my laptop. A strange thing happens--it records in the built-in mic on my laptop, and also in to my little 12 dollar desktop microphone, causing strange double recordings of one drumbeat or one vocalization.
I thought I had fixed the "problem" by muting the first two tracks as I recorded the third before mixing them all in to one track. It sounded (before mixing it) pretty straightforward--one drum track and two overdubbed vocal tracks.
I couldn't figure out how to mix it in to an MP3 track so had to mix it in to a WAV file instead for the time being. And then, finally, I listen to it--thinking I already knew what it sounded like.
Well. Indeed I did NOT know what it actually sounded like!
As it turns out, none of the double-recordings are gone! So it sounds like a weird techno drum although it is just one Indian Dholak. And it sounds like about 4 vocal tracks even though it is just two. And.... I like it!
The guides are telling me to share this "serendipitous" healing track with you all (and they verified they did get in to my computer to ensure the final product would be nothing like I expected!) ;)....
So go ahead and breathe in, out, and enjoy with me the "Tails of Our Ancestors." (www.myspace.com/starsoundhealing)
Let me know what you think!
Love Jen.
"Tails of Our Ancestors" along with more of my shamanic sound healing work can be listened to here: www.myspace.com/starsoundhealing
(Fun fact--the one sound towards the end that sounds like a single clang of a cymbal, high-pitched gong or bell--that is actually the clang of my silver Scarab ring falling and hitting the metal base of my laptop desk. Hee hee! No accidents, indeed!!)

WWTN #21 -- Buzz, Buzz, Buzz
Hello, Welcome to Issue 21 of Wolf Wisdom Transformational News!
It is a strange energy today. The title of this newsletter might lead some to expect that I am laden with bee energy, or wasp, as usual, but that is not it.
It is a buzzing through my body, but not coming from within. It feels as if the gods of activity are swirling and awakening--energies, is the word they are giving me--within me, and within everybody.
The time feels as if things that were started a while back are coming to completion--NOW.
These things that were started are, of course, different for everybody--to a certain degree--but the patterns are the same.
It's funny, I felt the buzzing and knew I had to sit down and write a newsletter, yet I am not certain what it is about!
So I will listen to the spirits now and write what they say:
Solitude. Branch. Forgive. Expect.
...
Interesting! As I typed I received glimmers of what these four words mean, in this order.
The solitude was winter, and what a hibernation it was!
The stillness in preparation of what would be to come.
Branch--that is the spring, the recent past, when we started to wake up and slowly branch out, reach our branches out, begin to bud along the branches.
Forgive. That was the necessary step in completion of the healing that took place this winter. Wake up and forgive--EVERYTHING. The only way to heal.
And now...Expect. Some say it is best to have no expectations. The spirits tell me right now, to EXPECT. Expect good things, every moment! This is conscious creation. This is the law of attraction. This is so many things with so many names, but simply put, this is being magnetized! They are saying:
EXPECT GOOD THINGS ALL THE TIME.
And I know from experience that when I do this, when I expect good things all the time, guess what? I RECEIVE GOOD THINGS, ALL THE TIME! And I even find good things in unexpected places, at unexpected times, because I am buzzing--aha! Buzzing, with the vibration of goodness. Like attracts like, indeed!
This has been a short but powerful and unexpected good thing of a newsletter!
Until next time, expect good things all the time!
Buzzing away,
Jen
P.S. Antelope says hello! (Coming in to the time for ACTION....)

WWTN #20 -- How I Met Nessie the Alligator
Hello all, It has taken me some time to digest my amazing experience meeting Nessie the Alligator.
Many pieces have come together in my life because of our meeting. A part of me has returned.
My heart continues to heal.
So many people have asked about this meeting of the souls.
I needed to let it simmer and brew in to an informational article that I could post, literally, for all the world to see--including you!
And here it is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Animals-as-Healers
Please read, respond, enjoy; and thank you all so much for your overwhelming response to the pictures of me and Nessie hugging.
