Tree of Life Mothering

Would you like to take the road less traveled and fully understand the scriptures? Here are two documents from my fabulous friend Patricia DuBray about how to study and mark the scriptures and make them your own. As she says, “Cut it up, tear it out, tape it in, write it down, but don’t do without!”

Here’s the first document: “Cut It Up, Tear it Out, Tape it In…but Don’t Do Without”

Here’s the second document: Scripture Inserts

Hooray for scripture power! Having the word of God at your fingertips means having the sword of truth in your hand!

I am giving away one registration to the October session of Mothers Who Know! It starts on Friday October 4. This is a class that is a conference call. You can attend from anywhere you have long distance service. This class will help you conquer self-defeating behaviors. Go here to get all the details.

Here are some testimonials:

“I have been training and participating in the Eternal Warriors program since May of 2012.   As the battle for souls that began before this earth rages on we must arm ourselves and our families with the most powerful arsenal to defend ourselves from Satan and his unseen legions.  As I hold myself accountable on a daily basis to the high standard I have set as a covenant daughter of God through this goal setting, journal recording, pattern analyzing, and accountability sharing program I feel the power of the Holy Ghost with me  moment by moment and recognize the pit falls Satan tries to lure me into.  The talents  I have developed and blessings I have gained through this program have allowed me to stand firmly at the veil communicating with my Heavenly Father through our Savior Jesus Christ and not be distracted by and caught up in the things of hr world.  I am looking forward to Celestia’s tele- classes and know they will be a highlight of my week!  Join in with us and arm yourself and your family for the battle hat rages!” Mother of 5, Kansas

“Mothers Who Know had great impact on me. I learned to recognize and combat Satan and to achieve things I knew I should do but never got around to. Celestia led with gentle firmness, the other class members inspired through sharing stories and struggles, and the accountability generated change.  I highly recommend this simple yet powerful class.”

Carolyn Marriott -Washington State

“Mothers Who Know has changed my life. For many years I have struggled with establishing daily habits that I was beginning to think were impossible at this stage in my life. Although I knew how important daily prayer, scripture study, and journal writing were, I just couldn’t figure out how to consistently fit it all in to my busy schedule. The knowledge and support I received in the class has made all the difference. Not only am I succeeding with these goals, my level of discernment has increased. I am more often able to detect and repel Satan’s temptation as well as hear and faithfully obey the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. I am more confident in my ability to lead, protect, and empower my children. It is so exciting to be able to give them tools to resist temptation and build their faith.  I am eternally grateful and I know every family can be strengthened through the principles taught in this class.”-Nicole, Ut

“What a rewarding experience it has been to participate in the Mothers Who Know classes offered by Tree of Life Mothering.

This book is a must-have guide for any parent, and anybody interested in the healing arts. If you have kids, you will probably encounter a time when they have unexplained symptoms or disease. You will probably not be able to find all your answers from a mainstream medical doctor. This has happened to me, and it happened to the author of this book, Tamara Laing. That’s why it’s important that you get this book, so you can see that there is more “out there” to avail yourself of besides conventional medicine. Conventional medicine has its place, but it definitely doesn’t have all the answers.

In this book Tamra tells the remarkable story of being a mom of a teenage daughter who had depression, mood swings, extreme anxiety, cutting and suicidal behaviors. She was diagnosed with bipolar. The daughter said that she felt like she was not herself. Tamra could not find help from medical doctors. She found help and healing for her daughter through energy medicine, introduced to her by a lady she calls Sue. This led Tamra on a deep journey of discovery. She found that LDS Church leaders, and prophets of long ago, even in the Bible, spoke of the healing power of light and energy. She also found modern-day secular authors who spoke the same thing, but with a different vocabulary.

In this book, you will find 34 pages where Tamra tells her story and how she was empowered to bring about healing to her daughter. Then the last hundred plus pages or so are devoted to gorgeous full color “slides,” 8 to a page, almost 500 total, which contain quotes from LDS Church Leaders, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price, the Doctrine and Covenants, and modern day secular authors who are in the field of energy medicine. You will find, as it says on the back cover, that saints, scientists, and scholars, “unexpectedly reveal underlying principles of alternative healing.”

This is a picture of the author, Tamara Laing, and her husband, at a vendor booth featuring her book.

Read this book and you will be a more empowered health-care consumer. You will learn of many more options out there to increase your and your family’s mental and physical health. You can order it at her blog right here.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars!

You will find such answers to the following questions, as it says on the back cover of the book:

• Do prophets or apostles speak about life force energy?
• Are auras and chakras in the Bible?
• Are energy healing principles harmonious with LDS beliefs?
• Do scriptures teach about thoughts and emotions affecting the body?
• Does ‘darkness’ have anything to do with illness?
• Do scriptures address generational issues or long-distance energy?

These answers are in the form of quotes by Parley P. Pratt, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Elder Robert D. Hales, Heber C. Kimball, John A. Widtsoe, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Cliff Dunston, Richard Gerber MD, Candace Pert PhD, and many more. I love having all these quotes in one place.

I really love one of the quotes in the slides, the Hawaiian Ho’oponopono technique, which the author says to say out loud, particularly when triggered:

“I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”

Forgive EVERYTHING. Be grateful for all things. Aspire to praise in all things.

(slide #452)

I also LOVE, LOVE the last slide:

“I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26

God is the healer. Give God the glory!

“Glory to God on high! Let heaven and earth reply. Praise ye his name, His love and grace adore, Who all our sorrows bore. Sing aloud evermore: Worthy the Lamb.” James Allen, in Hymns #67

Patricia has spent years gleaning all the best ways and resources to make scripture study more illuminating, more memorable, and more exciting! I will be uploading a file that Patricia prepares to go along with the presentation.

This will be a conference call:

Conference Dial-in Number: (610) 214-0000
  
Participant Access Code: 738747#

Here is Patricia’s bio:

Today was a day full of learning and inspiration and now I am so full of it all I want to sleep! It started with a LEMI Conference call, which is a conference call for parents who are trained by Leadership Mentoring Institute to mentor youth in scholar projects. The two speakers on the call, Tiffany Earl and Aneladee Milne, shared the work of Brene Brown, featured above. I had never heard of this woman. She is an expert on shame. They talked about how shame is an indication of listening to negative scripts in our heads from “gremlins.” We can learn to acknowledge when we are feeling it and use positive scripts to ask ourselves what we really want and what we are going to do.

Then it was off to our Commonwealth School’s Parent Mentor training. On the way, my husband and I listened on the radio to this episode of Classics for Kids. I learned about Clara Wieck, who became Clara Schumann. I learned that she was incredible musician. She started performing when she was 8.  She started writing a piano concerto when she was 13. She married her father’s piano student, Robert Schumann. They formed a great marriage and music mentoring partnership, helping each other compose. She had eight children and continued performing for decades until her death at old age. So this reminded me of a movie I have been wanting to watch about Clara and Robert’s romantic love story. I looked it up on my smartphone after I got to the workshop and found out that it is on Youtube, see below. I think dh and I will watch this on our next date night.

So at the Parent Mentor Workshop, with Aneladee Milne, we talked about applying Leadership Education. We went over the 4 Phases, 7 Keys, 5 Environments, and 5 Pillars of TJEd. Aneladee showed this video below and we analyzed the boy’s story to find the 4 Phases in it.

We also talked about the 9 types of social orientation from Keith Olson’s book Why Teenagers Act the Way They Do. Not another system of typing and categorizing! There are so many types and categories out there. Now I am categorizing all my kids into which type.   I am wondering how it corresponds with the energy types of Carol Tuttle, or the Meyer-Briggs testing, or the color code….

We also discusses this amazing article by Ralph Waldo Emerson, called The American Scholar. You can read it here. It is so good! It has been called, America’s Intellectual Declaration of Independence. Each of these resources are enough to give me inspiration for weeks, and I got them all in one day!

Did you know that the World Health Organization rates hormonal contraceptives as Class 1 Carcinogens? Did you know that the co-inventor of the Pill now condemns it, saying it has led to a “demographic catastrophe”? You deserve to know the truth about hormonal contraception! Please watch this video and share it with others. Hormonal contraception is hurting women, marriages, men, babies, and families. A safe, marriage-building, totally healthy alternative exists, and it’s natural family planning, along with ecological breastfeeding. Learn more at nfpandmore.org and the Creighton Model site.

I love the philosophy at nfpandmore.org because it involves ecological breastfeeding. This allows a woman to be infertile for an average of 15 to 18 months postpartum. It allows a woman’s ovaries and uterus to go through a winter season as she acts a tree of life to her baby. (See more in my book, at the “the book” tab above, specifically Chapter 8.) As much as I love what the Kippleys teach at nfpandmore.org, I don’t think taking a temperature daily is necessary, so that’s why I recommend the Creighton model. Taking you temperature daily first thing in the morning when you wake up can be quite daunting with a nursing, cosleeping baby. The Creighton model allows you to monitor your fertility with one signal, cervical fluid.

This video cites some fascinating studies! Artificial contraception makes us less attractive to men. Please watch this and let’s discuss it tonight at the NEW support group meetings I am launching for LDS couples who practice NFP.

If you buy the end of summer real foods ebook bundle you will get a copy of the above ebook, called Kick the Weight with Keto. It tells the story of a woman, Kim Knoch, who has finally found a diet that works! She has struggled with being overweight since she was a teen. After hitting 400 pounds, she had weight loss surgery. It was a temporary measure that caused problems in the end. She lost 200 pounds over two years after the surgery but had malnutrition problems and the weight started coming back on. Then she found the Weston A. Price foundation, the paleo diet, and the ketogenic diet. She combined teachings from these philosphies to create her own diet, called “Kim’s Keto.” It is a high fat, medium protein, low-carb diet. She has been able to lose 40 pounds using this diet which she says is a first for her, she has never lost that much weight on a diet. She feels she can live on this diet for the rest of her life. Hooray!
