    • Something The Universe Might Be Telling Me

      Posted at 12:05 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on May 12, 2022

      While I was raised Catholic, I do not adhere to any one religion. My NDE gave me confirmation in the understanding that all religions are right and all are wrong and it really doesn’t matter which one a person practices or believes in, what matters is Love.

      When life is going along and we’re happy with how it’s going along and we go about our days in a sort of comfortable space where we stop at Starbucks in the morning before work and go to our job, have pleasant conversation with those around us, work and go home again, then repeat.

      Then, something switches. We start to become less happy with how things are going along. We find things to be unhappy about. The barista didn’t make your latte like they usually do. The people at work are starting to bore you. Work itself is more of a chore than a maybe more-than-a-little-pleasant thing to do for 8 hours a day. Something has changed.

      You can’t put your finger on it, so you go along for a while, just continuing to do the same day over and over, until it hits you. You want something different for yourself.

      You want to feel more. You want to do more. You want to wake up in the morning and be excited about living.

      Stick around. I’ll write more about this. In the meantime, start exploring what it is you desire to experience in this life and how you might go about actually doing it!

      Much Aloha!

      Krista ❤️

    • Baby Steps

      Posted at 10:58 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 15, 2022

      In our recent move to the Hawaiian island of Maui, I’ve had some interesting things about myself come to light. Like, I hadn’t realized how much familiar surroundings and routine meant to me. Not that I had a super specific routine in my life before, but what surrounded me was familiar. Things around me had their place and I knew where to find them. My “stuff” was all around me. There was a comfort in just feeling the energy of my home, my neighborhood, my town. All of that has changed.

      Moving 4500 miles away from where I lived for 22 years was more of a challenge than I anticipated. Although I’d chosen it, I’d planned it, I’d hyped it up to my husband, I found myself in moments of fear. I wasn’t completely sure if picking up my life and moving to the middle of the Pacific Ocean was such a great idea. I longed for home and the comforts of it. I wanted to see the same landscape out my window I’d seen every day for so long. I wanted to go to the grocery store and have the people working there nod hello because they knew my face.

      Then, I watched the sunset on our wedding anniversary and a sea turtle swam by. Not only did it swim by, but it lifted its head out of the water and looked straight at us! Another swam directly underneath me two days later. We watched giant waves crash on ancient lava rocks and felt the energy of nature. We stood on a forest path amongst trees that had been there since indigenous Hawaiians lived on the land and it was still theirs.

      I’ve been here 13 days and I’m already transforming. I’m moving toward who I came here to be. I’m becoming more, and I couldn’t be more grateful or more sure that yes, this was the right decision.

      Much Aloha! xox

    • It’s Time

      Posted at 9:54 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on November 15, 2021

      I was staring out the window at the English countryside as my husband laid his head back on the seat, his eyes closed. We were southbound on a London train, heading to Heathrow to catch our flight home. The conductor had just finished his announcements and in the midst of the surrounding light chatter of passengers, I heard a voice come through the loudspeakers.

      “It’s time.”

      The voice was a loud whisper of a male, but one I didn’t recognize. I quickly turned my gaze from the scenery to my husband sitting next to me. His eyes were still closed and his head still resting on the seat. I glanced around at the other passengers who were still talking amongst themselves, undisturbed and unaffected by what I had just heard.

      Did I really hear that?

      Yes. Undoubtedly. It was there, coming from the train loudspeakers to my ears. I had not been thinking about anything in particular at the time, just feeling relaxed and enjoying the sight of rolling green hills of the countryside.

      So, what did it mean? This human voice speaking two words, a statement which implied action on my part. What action? Which action? I wondered this, amazed at what I’d just experienced.

      The thing is, this wasn’t the first time I’d had an unexplained-in-human-terms experience, yet, I felt like it was! So many emotions ran through me…elation, joy, excitement, confusion, doubt, confirmation, etc. What was it time for??

      It wasn’t until we had arrived home and I recovered from jet lag that I understood. It was time. Period. Time to live. Time to be, do, have all my heart knew was right for me, true for me, good for me. It’s time for this to manifest in the greater world. For all of us to be, do and have all we desire. The highest vibrational manifestation of this is Love. It’s time to Love.

      Much Love to you all!

    • Choosing To Live (using Twelve Principles For Daily Living)

      Posted at 8:55 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 12, 2021

      One thing that I find myself doing on a daily basis, sometimes hourly basis…sometimes minute by minute, is choosing to Live. That’s with a capital “L”. It’s so easy to move through my day, weeks, month going through the motions of life rather than really living them.

      What do I mean by that?

      I mean: When my husband stops me in the hallway for a hug and and a kiss, I stop myself, both physically and mentally, bringing myself into that moment and being fully Present. I get to experience him/us in a way I could not had I continued on with the thoughts and the forward momentum of my day. I get to appreciate that moment we shared, which is then stored as a memory in every cell of my body…a memory of Love.

      I mean: When I’m doing various tasks throughout the day, paying attention to where my thoughts are, where my attention lies. Focusing on enjoyment of the process of life in that moment. If it’s something I usually find tedious or don’t like doing, easing into an energetic space of gratitude for simply being physically able to do it. Simple, isn’t it?

      I mean: When faced with challenges which would potentially cause emotional pain, stepping into a Loving space where I am willing to walk through the fear, the unknown, with the overarching energy that all is always well and I have the ability to shift myself into a better feeling place any time I desire to, and that if I have created a situation which feels less than good, I can create something that feels better too.

      We are NEVER victims of our circumstances. We have created them, along with the Universe, for a purpose sometimes greater than what we may presently comprehend or feel. Setting judgement of those circumstances aside and simply Loving eases everything. Awareness of our participation in the creation and of our power to create something better. Willingness to move forward in Love. Patience for the better-feeling situation we are intending to manifest. Faith that it will. Compassion for ourselves and others. Understanding our Miraculous, Spiritual nature and how, as Creative beings, we get to design the life we desire then Lovingly going about designing it from that moment forward. This is Life!

      Love to you all! xox

    • Managing Fear

      Posted at 7:37 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on July 31, 2020

      Let’s take a look at one scenario. Come up with a specific fear you have. Feel it through, in your body. Notice how your body feels when your mind imagines this hypothetical situation. Does your stomach turn or have butterflies? Does your breathing become a bit faster? Do you feel blood rushing to your head? Does it feel good or not so good?

      What is fear? Let’s unpackage it a bit….

      Fear is not just one thing. Fear is a constellation of multiple dynamic energies all working at once. Some work together, some seemingly alone, but all end up influencing the outcome.

      When we are in a state of fear, not only is our body responding physiologically to the hormones being released in a fight-or-flight response to the autonomic nervous system stimulation from our interpretation of the thoughts we are having in that moment, but once the physiologic response happens it sort of loops back in a type of reflex for more thoughts on the same subject. We almost get carried away on the wings of the thoughts. We loose control.

      How do we get some of that control back? Through focusing our attention on what we want to be rather than what we don’t want to be, i.e. whatever our fear is, we imagine the opposite. Use that creative mind power to envision something better.

      Talk yourself down from it. Remind yourself that you are a powerful creator and can create or uncreate anything you choose to place your focus on. Don’t chastise yourself or be mean to yourself if you have to keep doing it because it will get easier and easier as you go along. It takes a dedication of your energy to continually go back and refocus, but the outcome is so worth it! The outcome of a better feeling, even for just a few moments. The outcome of what you desire to happen rather than what you don’t desire to happen, or maybe something close to it. Try it. You’ll see.

      Tell yourself that all is well, that everything is working out for you and everyone involved. That it’s working out even when others observe it and say the opposite. You can believe differently.

      Write affirmations about whatever subject you are fearful about and put them in your pocket. Pull them out and remind yourself of how powerful you are at creating what you desire to experience rather than what you don’t desire. I put them on my bathroom mirror, in my car, on the fridge, in my scrub pocket. Anywhere you are inspired to where you know you’ll see them and be re-minded of what you desire. This helps so much to refocus the mind and bodies’ energy on what we want.

      If the fear creeps back in, repeat all of the above. Over and over. Until you no longer require it. Have faith until you have experience, then there is no need for faith.

      Much Love!! xoxo

    • COVID-19–A Lesson In Growth

      Posted at 5:21 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on April 26, 2020

      We’ve all heard the saying “There are no guarantees in life.”  Dying while in labor with my daughter was the last thing I expected to happen that morning.  I had the expectation of a safe delivery, but that expectation was not met.  I had all these plans for my life afterward, but those plans changed, and in a big way.

      This virus has no consideration for the outline you have of your life.  It is here, and may not be going anywhere.  Consider that for a moment.  A virus that we know little about, one there is no vaccine or at this point, no medications to treat, may be a continuous threat for the foreseeable future.  Our lives have been fundamentally altered in one foul swoop, leaving many reeling, wondering how they are going to manage themselves now.

      Our personal and professional lives, in some cases, have been turned upside down.  From the cashier at any store in America to the physician (or physician assistant in my case ;), the financial impact of this pandemic is significant, for some irreversibly damaging to their lively hood.

      But, I ask you, is this a “bad” thing?

      We are here to expand in awareness of who we are.  We are here to connect with ourselves in a fundamental way so we may then better connect with one another.  It is through our connections that we grow and become Who We Are.  Sometimes things need to be shaken up in a big way for this to happen.  No matter the source of this virus, whether you believe the scientists or the conspiracy theorists, its here.  My question is, what are you going to do with the time you have on this earth, right now?   Are you going to continue on in the same way as before?  My guess is the world won’t let you.  None of us are going to be able to, and that’s a good thing.

      Focusing on what we have gained from this virus being present at this time in our lives, rather than what it has taken, completely turns our experience around.  We go from the perception of loss to one of gain.  We have gained time either alone, or with family.  We have gained time to consider where we are in our lives and where we’ve always wanted to be.  What is your hearts desire?  What do you want to do that you haven’t done yet because fear has kept you from it?

      Now.  Now is the time to make the changes that will allow for greater growth and spiritual expansion.  Fighting the changes, lamenting about how life will never be the same, keeps you stuck in the old when all your soul wants is to let the new rush in.

      Say “YES” to your life and your life will step up to meet you.  Every. Single. Time.

      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
