    • The Benefit of Focused Love

      Posted at 1:51 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on September 25, 2022

      There are SO MANY potential distractions all around us, things that can pull us away from our desired focus. When in the world, doing what we do each day, the ability to hold oneself in a state of being which feels loving can be a real challenge at times.

      When we are able to shift ourselves, even just a little bit, away from a distracting energy whether it be a person, a circumstance, or a feeling that’s caused a disturbance in our good-feeling force, we open up the opportunity to shift even more, and more and more. We show ourselves it is possible. We move closer to who we are in our essence.

      Focusing on Love, on feeling good, heals us. Focusing on Love and feeling good heals our neighbor, our community, our world. The ripple effects happen without our having to do anything else. They happen in our physical bodies first, and foremost. Cells respond to the good-feeling chemicals released which, as Candice Pert, PhD observed in her research, vibrate into place on their respective receptors in the organs of the body, transferring energy and information. Which ones are triggered for release is determined by how we feel.

      Focusing on the high-vibrational feeling of Love gives us the opportunity to create a healthy body, community and ultimately, world. Imagine it.😄❤️✨

    • 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

    • Moving to Maui!

      Posted at 7:27 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 31, 2021

      Something occurred to me as I was cleaning out a closet yesterday…

      While I have this little blog, I post sporadically and when I’m really inspired to do so. I don’t post when I’m not inspired, so I’m sharing things with a pure energy of connection to everyone. Months ago, when our plans for moving to the Hawaiian islands began to really take shape, I thought about sharing my/our journey here (Ainsley, my husband, is a big part of it too!) but only wanted to if it was about the journey, the deeper aspects of the “why’s” for our decision to leave our home and family here. For Ainsley, it’s about moving even further away from his in the UK. There’s a depth to all that goes into making the decision to go, and the ultimate reasons are universally felt by many of us at different points in our lives.

      In a nutshell, I feel like it’s important to talk about all of it, so as maybe to inspire someone else who is on the fence about embarking on their life’s next Big Adventure. I’d LOVE to have a video blog but am not great at editing and neither is my husband lol. We’ll see if we can work on that…

      Watch this space!

      Love to you all and a very Happy, Healthy New Year!!

    • 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

    • 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
