    • For Those Who Wish They Could Do Something To Help During Covid-19

      Posted at 5:04 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 12, 2020

      I’m one of those people who chooses to look for the silver lining in everything that happens.  No matter what has occurred to derail us from our planned or expected path, causing us to pause and say “Why?” there are positive aspects which we can recognize and focus our attention on.  Remember, energy flows where attention goes.  If you want to feel more anxiety, frustration, anger or fear, focus on all the things which evoke these emotions within you (which are also then projected outwardly to everyone and everything around you, as energy is.)  If you want to feel love, appreciation, awe, admiration, joy, peace and contentment, then focus on those aspects which evoke these feelings.  You can create them by how you choose to perceive what’s happening around you.

      This pandemic is what it is in this moment.  All you or I can do is what’s recommended in terms of staying physically safe.  In terms of our emotional well-being, I recommend using the Twelve Principles for Daily Living to help center and focus our attention and allow them to help guide our thoughts and actions toward those emotions and states of being that feel good.

      In the midst of this seemingly huge disruption of life as we know it, we can be  willing in every moment to choose to see it as an opportunity to practice being more aware of how we feel and how we are responding to the bodies’ impulses, the world around us and others in our lives.  We can respond in ways that are loving, compassionate, courageous, patient, present, purposeful, faithful, spiritual, creative.  We can look at ourselves, the people we love, nature in all it’s beauty, the perfectness of everything as miraculously constructed for our benefit, for our en-joyment, to be in joy rather than in fear about the unknown.   This is what we are here for.  When we are able to be in a state of being which reflects all these Principles, not only do we feel good, those around us pick up on our energetic vibration.  They benefit too.

      Much Love to You!

    • The Next Right Thing

      Posted at 11:49 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 6, 2020

      This is a phrase that anyone who’s into self-help/spirituality probably hears a lot.  When you don’t “know” what to do, “Just do the next right thing.”

      Sometimes it eludes us completely, other times, it is crystal clear.

      For me, during the Covid-19 health crisis, it is the latter.  I am a Physician Assistant who has worked in Emergency Medicine for many years.  Through a series of synchronous events, prior to the crisis becoming the crisis it is, I found myself laid off my job with pay for 3 months.  As I was looking for temporary positions while plans were laid for a permanent position, I was guided to serving in NYC.

      I am here to be of service in whatever way I can be.  Right now, it means taking care of people in a place and time where they need it so desperately.  I am not afraid.  I am not, at the same time, burying my head in the sand about the risks.  I deeply feel that I am protected with all of the PPE available to me (which they have plenty of now) and my energetic disposition of “all is well.”  My plan is to bring my expertise and Love to everyone I encounter.

      Walk courageously today, then maybe tomorrow too.

      Much Love to all of you!

    • Fear Focus?

      Posted at 2:45 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on March 20, 2020

      Let’s talk about this.  If you had to give a percentage of head space dedicated to fearful thoughts in any 24 hour period, how much would it be?

      For anyone who understands the power of our thoughts, well then they are that much more aware of how important it is to monitor them.  For anyone who doesn’t understand the power our thoughts have, I would suggest reading/listening to anything to do with Law Of Attraction.  Books on this subject date back thousands of years.  It’s concepts are in the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and so many written works that came afterward.  One really interesting read is a book by Prentice Mulford titled ‘Thoughts Are Things’.  Written in the latter part of the 19th century, Prentice was a progressive thinker for that time period.  The words and phrases and examples he uses are interesting and it’s a really great example of how powerful we are as humans.

      During this time of such uncertainty, those predisposed to fearful thinking may be more so and it can become VERY difficult to function in daily life.  Perhaps keeping the following concepts in the forefront of our thoughts may help ease the worry around the “not knowing” and help us to stay longer in periods of trust in the processes of life and peaceful existence.  When our (ego) thoughts want to go to ones of fear, remember the following:

      1. The idea that I have control over anything but my own thoughts and how I feel is an illusion.
      2. If I want to make a difference in the outcome of an undesirable happening, I must focus on love in all its aspects.
      3. Fear creates dis-ease, Love heals.
      4. All is always well.

      Write these down and put them in your pocket.  Take them out and read them when you feel off balance or find your thinking is out of control.  Let go.

      Sending out so much Love to you! xox

    • Why Wait?

      Posted at 10:47 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 14, 2019

      I love creating my life.  I love imagining what it is I’d most like to do with my days, of the experiences I’ll have and people I’ll connect with.  I love putting myself there and feeling the excitement of being in places where there are many others just like me, all sharing and growing and enjoying.

      There’s one part of this process, though, that I am only now beginning to really take part in in the way I know I’ve needed to in order for all I desire to come about.  That is the experience of true ease and joy along the way.

      I’ve been waiting for this state of being to come in the way it is now.

      Lately, I’ve been feeling very different.  Different in the sense that, I’m still me, yet I’m a new and improved version of me.  I feel calmer, even more so than before (and I’m quite chill to begin with lol).  This calm is infused with more love, deeper love, than before and it is unconditional.

      I just feel great!

      And greatful!

      Much Love to you all!!

      xoxo

      Posted at 7:02 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on November 20, 2019

      As I’ve gotten older, there’s something I’ve come to understand better.  That this life, this existence, is to be LIVED.

      Not trudged through, not skimmed over.  We are meant to dive into it with every bit of ourselves and swim in its beauty and ugliness.  We’re here to experience the divine in all of it.  Every bit is as it is with the purpose of helping to mold ourselves into who we chose to be when we came here.  We are not victims of our lives, we are the creators of it.  We get to choose whatever we want to be here in these bodies.  When life starts to pile up with the demands of the outside world, remind yourself of your divinity and the reason you came here.  Create the time to focus on that, then create that.

      Much Love to you! xoxo

    • What I Did This Weekend

      Posted at 12:42 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 21, 2019

      I had the privilege of spending the last four days with other beautiful souls sharing our hearts and growing and expanding in love at an NDE retreat.  It was not only for those who’d had an NDE but also for others who have had Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STE’s) and those who were seeking answers to their spiritual questions.

      At at lovely hotel on the ocean, we gathered together to share our individual stories and support one another in the inevitable growth that resulted.  Our ability, as a group, to show unconditional love for one another was incredibly inspiring.  Many did not know anyone at first but by the end of the weekend everyone was embraced and known to everyone else as family.

      What was the magic of all of this?  How could a group of adults bare their hearts and share their souls with one another without fear? Love.  Love was the fuel, the glue, the elixir.  We all simply had unconditional love for one another.  We were a microcosm of the world, contained in a little room in a hotel, laughing and crying and discovering new aspects of ourselves with the support of the universe embracing us all.

      Feeling so much love!! oxo

    • Intention Without Resistance

      Posted at 7:11 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 11, 2019

      So, I stepped outside this morning to look at the stars while it was still dark.  I really love to start my day this way.  As I stood with my head back, appreciating their beauty, I felt “It would be nice to see a shooting star.”

      As my eyes moved to the other side of the visible sky, a star shot across it. That is the power of love, appreciation and intention with no resistance.   th-10

    • My Morning

      Posted at 7:16 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on September 27, 2019

      This is something I’m currently processing, feeling through to allow for whatever message that may be there to come forth.

      I love taking a step outside early in the morning, while it’s still dark and silent.  I can see the stars in the sky, and Orion is always to my right.  It brings me comfort to stare at it and feel the energy of my body in response to it.  I do have a visceral response, which is a reflection of our deep interconnectedness with all there is, seen and unseen.

      As my eyes were moving slowly across the sky toward where the sun is to rise shortly, I watched as a plane climbed silently through some light clouds and flew high above.  My gaze fell back toward the clouds, when I noticed they were not stagnant.  The sky was undulating like a wave.  It reminded me of the space I was in during my NDE where the dense particles came together in waves at times…

      I looked back at the several shining lights above me.  These lights are very often there at night and do not move with the rest of the stars.  They are some sort of craft, I ‘m not sure what.  Maybe weather monitors…one of them moved closer to me, strangely as if to say “yes, you did see that.”  Lol.  It’s made my whole day even better.

      Much Love!

    • Words Of Wisdom From Charlie Chaplin

      Posted at 9:47 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on August 31, 2019

      “As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

      As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

      As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

      As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

      As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

      As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

      As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

      As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

      As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

      We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know “THAT IS LIFE”!”

      ― Charlie Chaplin
