• Time To Change

  Posted at 10:55 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on October 13, 2017

  How often have you said to yourself:  “I really need to do xyz” or “I really need to stop doing xyz.”  Speaking for myself,  thousands of times.  The “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” put pressure on us and imply that yucky feeling word…guilt.

  Each and every time we think and/or say those words we add to the negative expression of ourselves.  That need to do or don’t do, the very thought of those words causes negative feelings in the body.  In that moment, there’s an immediate feeling of not being who or what we are supposed to be, whether we’ve set the expectation or someone else has.

  The thing is, we are always everything we are supposed to be all the time, in every moment.  There is never a second that goes by where we are anything but.

  It’s about changing the energy around the “need” to do something to one of gentle intention, the feeling of having a choice about the matter rather than a pressure to accomplish whatever it is you’re wanting to accomplish.  Sometimes we may not have a “choice”, it just has to be done.  That’s fine, but take that energy you’d usually create as pressure to do it and soften it, love it and allow it to flow through you and into what it is you’re doing.  That is acting out the vibration of love.

  So, go wash those dishes, get ready for work, get that degree and take the time to change your thoughts and feelings around how you do those things.  It’s your choice.  Much Love xox

• The Power Of Yes

  Posted at 8:36 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 3, 2014

  Growing up I heard “No” so many times I thought that was the usual way to respond to things.  Negativity in my family was not intentional, simply perpetual.  My parents had simply carried over their own childhood beliefs and ways of viewing the world without scrutiny and without awareness.

  As I grew into adulthood and began to notice the difference between my usual fall-back response and that of others, as I became more aware it wasn’t exactly the norm, I also became (here it is…) aware I had a choice.  I could either say “No” to life or “Yes” to life.

  I started with myself.  I’d always been someone who enjoyed helping others, often sacrificing my own needs in the process.  When I started putting my needs first with the intention of also serving others, things began to flow easier.  I began to say “Yes” more frequently to myself and big changes came with that.

  I graduated college after much initial struggle.  I moved across the country to experience life in a different way.  I decided to go into medicine, and have been practicing it for the last 14 years.  All because I said “Yes” to myself and to life.

  Now, I am saying “Yes” to you.  I returned after a near death experience to kick my service to others up a notch.  I came back to be an inspiration and support for those who struggle in life.  I am a student and a teacher, as we all are.  The only difference between any two people are levels of awareness and experience.  We can help elevate one another, all we need to do is say “YES!”

  Love to All!!

• Attitude of Gratitude

  Posted at 9:06 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on November 16, 2014

  Several years ago when my husband was very ill, I was in the midst of my own sort of illness.  It had started many years before after my near death experience I had during labor with my daughter.  I’d spent the years since then wrapped up in this internal struggle where I was afraid of being the love I learned I was in the afterlife, yet knew I had to be that person in order to live the Iife I came here to live.  I was miserable.

  For 8 months we didn’t know what was wrong with my husband, and I spent that time caring for him and our daughter while also working on my self.  I knew that I needed to figure out a way to be happy, to live in better alignment with who I was and therefore be able to be there more fully and completely for my family.

  During that process, that 8 months of uncertainty, I’d never felt more alive in my life.  The inner work I was doing helped me be present and fearless and accepting and confident in knowing that no matter what, everything was going to be just fine.  I was the rock my family stood upon when they had nothing to hold them up.  I created that rock, and I wasn’t alone in that creation.

  I took what I learned in the afterlife and applied it to my life here.  I began living my life differently, every moment of every day I focused on positive change and began to experience those changes not only within myself, but in my husband and daughter as well.

  The Twelve Principles For Daily Living were the things I practiced.  They were the conduits for healing in my life and the lives of my husband and daughter.  I present them in my book, I Died And Learned How To LIve, and am working on a book that is just about the Twelve Principles.

  There are no words that can adequately express the gratitude I have for the experience of going through 8 months of, what could have been, emotional torture.  I was given that opportunity so I could get real and get serious about figuring out how to live my life better, how to practice being the person I knew I was but didn’t know how to be.

  Today, I practice an attitude of gratitude.  There is so much to be grateful for.

• What Inspires You?

  Posted at 9:38 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on June 3, 2014

  I was writing tonight about what/who my inspirations in life have been.  Remembering back to my childhood, it ranged from Winnie the Pooh, Big Bird, and Mary Poppins to Wonder Woman, the Six Million Dollar Man and Charlie’s Angels.  Moving on into my teens it became the hero of whatever book I couldn’t put down, or musician who’s music I’d become infatuated with.

  Then, in early adulthood, it was the work of Joseph Campbell and Deepak Chopra that resonated with me and helped shape who I am today.

  Inspiration is the spark that ignites creativity.  It is our divine beingness that is sparked in the face of inspiration.

  One of the definitions of Inspire is to breathe.  We all share the breath of life.  We all inspire.

  What inspires you?

  xoxo

• My Yellow Angel

  Posted at 9:57 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on February 11, 2014

  Today, I was asked to assign the name of someone I knew to various colors.  It was an exercise meant to stimulate conversation.  The first color was Yellow.  Immediately, I thought of my daughter.  I thought of her, not just because her hair is a beautiful shade of blonde, but because she really is a ray of sunshine 🙂

  When she came into the world, it was chaos.  She was born with barely a heartbeat, and I had none at all.

  After having tubes and needles stuck into her and being placed in a plastic bassinet where oxygen could be blown in to keep her saturation up, she was taken away from everyone who loved her to another hospital where her medical emergency could be better treated.  It would be six days before I was well enough to hold her sweet little body in my arms, and the moment I did, I felt I’d known her forever.  

  As she grew, her happy disposition inspired me on a daily basis to be more like her.  I was constantly reminded of how easy it can be to approach life in a way that involves as much laughter as possible, and to seek out opportunities to do just that.  Then, in middle school, everything changed.  Family problems overshadowed her bright light, dimming it for a while.  During that time, it was my turn to shine for her, and when the dark clouds finally disappeared, we shone together 🙂  

  My daughter is my inspiration, my angel, my yellow.

• “If you don’t s…

  Posted at 8:47 AM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on January 13, 2014

  “If you don’t start somewhere, you’re going to get nowhere.” ~ Bob Marley

  For many of us, the idea of pursuing our dream is one we relish in for a while, then dismiss as implausible.  “I could never do (fill in the blank).”  Somewhere I heard that if we make the choice to set out on a journey toward what we wish for, and it doesn’t come to fruition, we haven’t lost anything because we didn’t have it to begin with.  Nothing lost, nothing gained.

  On the path to freedom, we can choose to see open doors or closed ones, but every door has the potential to lead us further along our path.  We can always change our vibration/what we attract into our lives.  In other words, we can always change our minds.

• Go Lightly

  Posted at 10:45 PM by Krista Gorman, PA-C, on December 11, 2013

  Life can be heavy.  With all there is to weigh us down, we can easily become crushed under its weight.  

  Life can be light.  With all there is to lift us up, we can rise out of the darkness, and smile down on what’s left behind.  

  At any moment, there is the potential for both.  We can choose to be heavy, and carry the weight of our negative thoughts and beliefs, or we can choose to be light, by inflecting our thoughts toward the positive.  

  I choose to be light….and I choose again…..and again….and again…..

  xoxo
