On Monday night I went to the Bighorn School Concert with Marijke. She works there as an art teacher and introduced me to the Choir and the Band director and said that if they were interested, I would like to do something with the students. Both really liked the idea so I went over this afternoon and first worked with two autistic children of 11 yrs old. I did some toning for them and both felt very relaxed when I did this. Both are beautiful children and are highly functional. Something inside me saddens with the thought that we have to label everything. Because someone is labeled autism somehow it makes them feel that they are not normal. What is normal? Who are we to say you are normal and you are not? Did God, the Universe not create us exactly how we are suppose to be? Aren’t we created in Gods image? So then why is it that when we show a different behavior suddenly we are not normal? Who says that it is not us who are not normal? Just some thoughts I like to put out. 

After this I worked with the choir class. This was great fun! They were around 17/18 and very open about using sound and music as a healing tool. They all participated really well and I feel that at the end of the class they have some understanding of the healing power of sound and music. The teacher was very excited about this new information.The next hour I spend teaching the Band class who were a bit younger, probably around 13/14. For them it was a little harder to understand but I do hope that at least I opened their mind to use music in a different way.It was a great experience teaching at this small school.

After I arrived in Casper, I wasn’t sure if I was to go to Jackson or to Sheridan but for some reason I felt I needed to go to

Sheridan. When I arrived, I decided to go to the visitor’s information center and ask if they knew of anyone that had a ranch where I could stay for a couple of days, do some horse riding and some writing as well. One of the ladies knew a lot of people in town so she made a few calls. One man called Greg said that he might be able to do this but he had an injured horse he needed to attend and he would call me later.I decided to park my RV in the main street so that I could look at the shops. I love this place. It really has this western feel to it. In one of the shops, I saw a flyer for ball room classes. One class was that evening. At the information center I had picked up a flyer of a band that was playing that night and I had intended to go there but I felt that I needed to go to the dance class. When I arrived, Alex the teacher told me that I needed a dance partner. Corey, one of the participants said she would text message her friend Jess. When the class started, Alex used me as his dance partner and I had a great time with him. He is 77 but still full of life! He still has that glow in his eyes. One of the other participants was Maryke. She is from

South Africa so I had a chance to talk some Dutch with her.I felt very welcomed by the whole group and afterwards they invited me to come to Oliver’s across the road to have a drink. I had made some new friends!!! When we were in the bar, I saw a man that I had seen walking on the street when I had arrived in

Sheridan. When I had seen him, I thought to my self, what a beautiful man. He was having dinner by himself and I felt that I needed to talk to him. Why, I had no idea. So I went over and told him that I had seen him before and that I felt the need to talk to him. Thank goodness he was very open to this so I sat down and we had a wonderful conversation. He had just arrived in

Sheridan that day and was interviewing ranchers. I told him that I was looking for a ranch to stay. Garth (which was his name) said that he would visit Ucross Ranch the next day. I had heard of this before and felt that I needed to go there.So this morning Garth and I visited this ranch. This is a place where writers and composers come to create. It is a 22.000 acre ranch and you can fill out an application. If you get selected, you can come and stay for a few weeks and write. There is a cook who prepares your meals so all you have to focus on is being creative. There are no costs involved. It was just wonderful to be in this creative energy for a while and of course I will fill out an application.  

Earlier this morning, I got a phone call from Greg and he said that it was ok for me to stay at his ranch. I felt like a little kid whose dream had just come true. I am so excited about this. I will be staying at a real ranch in

Wyoming!! Wow!!!

After a wonderful night of deep sleep I drove from Pueblo, CO towards

Wyoming yesterday. It constantly amazes me how diverse

America is. Every couple of miles the scenery changes. I went from driving along the beautiful

Rocky Mountains to a landscape of green hills where you don’t see any trees or houses for miles. While driving in this open space I could feel my energy expand, connecting with the hills and the skies. I was no longer this body but felt so large.

Wyoming had been calling me for some time and as I was entering this state, I felt so much excitement. I was here! I felt so much bliss and could not stop smiling. I love this journey. Not knowing why I need to go there but just listening to the guidance of my heart. Everyday is a new adventure. Who am I going to meet? Where will I end up? I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to do this.  

During the trip I was wearing the hanger

Krishna had given to me that was blessed by the Dala Lama around my neck.

Krishna had told me that the energy of this hanger would encourage me to be the best that I can be. Driving this RV in

America is not always easy as I have found that most people do not pay attention when I have my indicator out to change lanes. Because this vehicle is so big, I cannot just move in, I need a lot more space and often this is not given to me so I end up in a situation that is a bit uncomfortable when my lane ends and I do need to merge to the other lane. This happened again yesterday and I spoke out loud in frustration, come on, give me some space. Immediately I could feel my heart tighten. It did not feel nice at all and suddenly I understood the impact of intention. My words were loaded with frustration and I could feel this in my entire body. Now that I am aware of this, I will be more careful what energy I put behind my words.  

I ended up in

Douglas, finding a spot along the river where I could stay the night. Today I will continue my journey. My plan is to arrive in Sheriton today but as my plans always change, I will see where I end up.

After I left my parking place for the night, I drove through this beautiful canyon. Still feeling the energy of

Krishna’s treatment, my heart was wide open and I was in such a state of bliss. When I came around the corner, a deer stood in the middle of the road staring right at me. She was so beautiful! I slowed down and she moved over to the side of the road, turning around still looking at me. What a special gift. I love deer. When I lived in

New Zealand, I raised a young deer. She was one day old and her mother had died. We had created a space for her in the laundry and six times a day I fed her with the bottle. Her name was Ellie. She became part of the family of Max the dog, Tommy the cat, Amy the sheep and my horses Anna Lisa and Kinleith. She really thought I was her mother and followed me everywhere. We had a van and after shopping I had left the back door open. When I returned, Max was sitting behind the wheel and Ellie was in the back. It still puts a smile on my face.  It was less funny when she would enter the house and pull all the pot plants of the window sill. When she grew too big, we couldn’t keep her anymore as she would jump the fence and tried to follow us on the road if we went out. We had to give her back to her previous owners. 

While driving towards Denver, I saw the sign for Pueblo and I had to think of Jan Monack, a special woman that I had met on a dolphin trip in the

Bahamas in 2001.I felt a strong urge to call her to see if we could meet for a little while. Of course it was no coincidence that she was home. She was delighted to hear from me and said that she had left work early and would love to meet with me. It was so nice to see her again. The last time was about three years ago when I had stayed with her when I started my tour in

America. My intention was to visit for a little while and then drive to

Denver. It was already 5.30pm and I was feeling tired and didn’t feel like driving anymore.

Krishna’s treatment had quite an impact on me and my body was adjusting.Jan said that I could stay overnight and we went out to have dinner in a Japanese restaurant. When we got back to her house, I asked if she would like to have a cup of the special lotus tea that I had received from

Krishna. It was beautiful to see her eyes lit up. I also felt the need to let her wear the hanger that

Krishna had given to me. When I offered this to her, you should have seen the expression on her face. It truly made my day. It was such a simple thing for me to do but it meant to much to her. When we share from our heart, true miracles do occur. I also did some toning for Jan. More than ever I know understand the power of toning. Being a sound healer my self, I had never received a sound healing from another healer. When

Krishna made the tones for me, I could feel it throughout my entire body. It was so powerful.

This morning I went for a hike in the forest. First I saw two cowboys riding their beautiful horses. My heart skips. Oh, how I long to be on a horse, exploring new paths. As I continue my hike, I find a perfect spot at a small lake, overlooking the valley and I feel inspired to write:

 

I love

America!!!! This is the country where you can still hide in the woods without being seen.Where water runs clearly through the mountains and where sage grows abundantly in the desert. Where snow peaks brighten the skies.
Oh, how I love this country where you can sit quietly at a lake in the

Taos Mountains and only see another human being every now and then. This country brings me peace and inspires me to be as brilliant as its clear blue skies.An elder man passes by as I write this down. I greet him and say; Isn’t this beautiful? Oh yeah, it is pretty, he says. I tell him that I love this country and his comment was; it is pretty but there is also a lot of bad out there and with this he wanders of, his head and shoulders bowed by the heavy load of……. well, I guess the burdens of life.Do you have to be a foreigner to truly appreciate the beauty? I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

For me, I am just so grateful that I get to be here and I will continue my journey in bliss and ecstasy.

 

 

When I find another beautiful spot, I bring out my note pad again.While I am resting on a large tree trunk my ears are filled with the sounds of one bird that sings so brightly. Others join in but this tiny bird that I have spotted on a branch high in a tree sings his heart out without any restrictions.Its sound is so pure and penetrates deep into my cells. This is sound healing too! 

When we sit quietly in nature and just observe, there are many wonders to be discovered. Because I am in the mountains, the trees are just starting to bud. When I look closely at a branch and see the beginning of a fresh bright green leaf, it reminds me of the simplicity yet tremendous creative power of Mother Nature. Every thing happens exactly in its own time. Nothing can be forced. Ever!Everything needs to go through its own process to get to where it needs to be and then the cycle will start all over again because once we reach our destination, a new destination will present itself and we will go on our way again.Let us enjoy every moment of this process.

At 10am I was at

Krishna’s to receive my oil bath. We first went into his laboratory where he created a blend of wonderful oils. While he was pouring individual oils he would invoke and bless it with a prayer and some toning. This in itself was a beautiful ritual. He then heated the oil and prepared a special tea. I was asked to lie on a mat on the floor and

Krishna first poured oil in my belly button. Because this is the place of the umbilical cord, it can store a lot of emotions. While rubbing the oil over this area,

Krishna would make tones. I could feel these vibrate throughout my entire body and saw images of the

Himalayan Mountains.He then moved to my legs and feet rubbing them with oil while toning. Even underneath my nails oil was rubbed in.

Krishna made some toning on my heart chakra that was very powerful. My face and head were massaged, my hair was pulled on and I received toning in my ears. This I could feel all the way down to my toes.  

After this, it was time for some tea and then the back was covered.

Krishna made some tones from my spine all the way up to my crown and this created shivers all over.When my entire body had been oiled, nurtured and massaged, I had no desire to get up. This was heaven!!!

Krishna mentioned that every cell of my body had now been imprinted with very positive energy. He took my hand and arm and massaged it a bit more while I asked him if he is able to feel love for every human being that comes on his path. He said, it is not a matter of feeling, it is just there. Wow, how would the world be if we were all in that state of being? This man is just joy and love and radiates this from every cell of his being. 

While an embracing in a hug, we made some toning together focusing on each chakra. It is so powerful to do this. After this we had some more tea. Krishna told me that he had bought this special lotus tea that was made of real lotus leaves in a very exclusive tea shop in

Japan. He knew that one day there would be someone that needed this tea and he felt that I was this person. I felt so honored. This tea was the sweetest and most gentle tea that I had ever had. All this time, I totally lost track of time. I really lived in the present moment. What was supposed to be a three hour session ended up in seven hours. I couldn’t believe it. Normally I need some food every few hours. I had eaten breakfast at 8.30am and nothing until I left at 5pm and I had not been hungry at all.  

When it was time to go, I received some more presents from this generous man. He gave me some of the Lotus tea, some of the oil that I had been rubbed in, some sage and a cloth hanger that had been blessed by the Dala Lama. I felt so blessed and deeply touched.

Krishna also gave me a new name: Everlasting Blooming Blue Lotus. It is for me to be like the Lotus. No matter what happens around me, keep on shining the brilliant light that is within me and with a smile on his face he said; that is only a very small responsibility my dear one.  

While walking back to my RV, he showed me a Manganese Stone that came from the

Himalayas. I hugged it to take in the beautiful energy of these powerful mountains and then it was really time to go. I felt a different person, very light and one with all. What an experience! Thank you

Krishna for your special gift! This will stay with me always.

Krishna had recommended that anytime I could soak in the hot mineral pools, that I should use that opportunity as my body really needed this. So last night I drove back to Ojo Caliente where I had also been last Saturday.   I finally was able to get a hold of Michael and told him that I felt guided to go to Wyoming instead of Dallas. I was really not looking forward to tell him this as he was so looking forward to me coming. I had to laugh when he told me that it didn’t feel right to him either. Isn’t it wonderful when we listen to our heart and are truthful to others who it always works out just right? Both of us had felt bad telling the other. If we had listened to our hearts and I would have gone to

Dallas just because I didn’t want to disappoint Michael, how would the weekend have been and most of all, what would we have missed out on? So often we do things that we really don’t want to do just because we don’t want to disappoint some else. I am learning more and more to listen to my heart and if something doesn’t feel right, then I have to be honest about this. I owe this to myself and to the other too.  I spend many hours soaking in the wonderful pools and had a great hot stone massage as well. I could feel my body taking it all in.When I was entering one of the pools, a man said, you smell like chocolate. What are you wearing? Mmm, Krishna’s magical oils. So they smell like chocolate, I have now been told. I guess it could be worse. While sitting in one of the pools, I started a conversation with a woman who came from

Germany but has been in this wonderful country since she was 16.

She is a nurse and is studying homeopathy and would like to work with children. I told her that I also feel drawn to work with children, particularly autistic children. She mentioned that most of these children have heavy metals in their bodies and she has seen great results with homeopathy. She gave me this website www.hannasherbshop.com where you can buy herbs that will help autistic children. She also mentioned Metoline for heavy metals in adults and the Candida kit which will help with sugar cravings. I will check this out when I have a chance. I truly believe that homeopathy has great benefits and like to use this over conventional medicine. We need to heal the cause and not suppress the symptoms.

Today I was reminded how a simple gesture can mean so much.A complete stranger took the time to care for me without any expectations in return.The love and joy emanated from his eyes and completely filled my heart. For a few hours I was bathed in unconditional love. This man, who gave so freely, had no idea how precious the gift he gave to me. It reminded me how long it has been since I took the time to care for and nurture my body. I have been pushing myself beyond the limit and my body has responded by creating a cold to remind me to slow down.How can I be the bright light when part of me is drained?  

I long to be held, to be loved, to be cared for. It has been so long since I had to care for me. So long since I have walked this path alone. This has created a wall around me that says; I don’t need help. I can do it by myself. And yes I can, but how wonderful it is when we also allow someone else to care for us once in a while.From this moment on, I will let my wall down and I will allow myself to receive love and nurturing from anyone who I feel it is right to receive it from. 

During the World Congress of Integrated Medicine in the weekend of May 4-6, I met Mukti, a woman from India, who invited me to stay with her in her beautiful house in

Taos. She said, when you are in Taos, you have to meet

Krishna. So yesterday I met

Krishna and what a gift this was. The minute I walked in to his house, I was welcomed by a man who just shines joy and love. Immediately I felt at home with him.I had a cold and

Krishna took me into his laboratory where he has lots of essential oils. He gave me some cardamom for my throat and created a blend of wonderful oils that would help me too. He also gave me some ginger and showed me how to use this. It was a joy to see this man taking the time to create all these wonderful remedies for me and I felt so blessed so I thanked him. He said, it has been a long time since you have been nurtured for, right? This hit a core in me and I started to cry. Yes, in a way it has and I have also not always allowed someone to care for me. This is the man I talked about in the beginning of this message. Krishna is from

India and still lives his life with rituals. Even pouring and drinking the thee was a ritual. It felt as if time had stopped while I was in his presence and I can tell you that he is the most enlightened being I have ever met. I spend a number of hours with him, absorbing every word he spoke for they all had a meaning. My soul was so eager to take this all in. He said it is a pity that you have to leave otherwise I would have given you an oil bath like we do in

India. I knew that this was what I needed so I told him that I didn’t need to leave. This is what I love about the gypsy life. I don’t need to be anywhere. I can let the universe guide me where I need to be. I just have to listen to my heart and I will be at the right place. So we scheduled an appointment for Friday 10am. When I left I felt so blessed, so light and I knew that my life would not be the same again.

May 15, 2007 It is great to spend some time with Pam. Yesterday we went for a hike in the

Taos

Mountains. Wow, it is so beautiful here. I really love the mountains. They feed me. We walked along a river and had to cross this about ten times. It was fun trying to find the right stone to step on and crossing without getting wet. Afterwards we went to John and Pintky Murray for a gathering of Lightworkers. They live in this beautiful home over looking

Taos. For some reason I felt extremely tired and had difficulty keeping my eyes open.

 Pam’s friend Gail came over for dinner. She told me that the government has created tunnels underground that lead all the way from Taos to

Denver. If a war does break out, then that will be there escape way. It is like an underground city. Who would have thought that?

 I wasn’t feeling that great today as my cold is really bothering me. Pam took me for a wonderful drive through the beautiful canyon to …….. where we visited the holy church called…….At Easter people walk for miles with crosses on their back to this place. Many healings have taken place while visiting this church.We then took the high road back to

Taos. This is a really beautiful area. I was grateful to just sit and being able to take in the beauty of this area without having to walk.

May 14, 2007  Yesterday morning I talked to Hugh and he told me that on their way back to Calgary they had stopped in Wyoming to do some energy clearing. When they were done, they had run into a whole group of wild horses. For some reason

Wyoming has been calling me for some time, so when Hugh mentioned this, it triggered this feeling.   I am not really sure what to do. I am suppose to fly to Dallas on Friday to spend a couple of days with Michael, my Texan friend that I had met on my flight from

Omaha in February. For some reason it doesn’t feel right to go there and for some reason I feel I need to go to

Wyoming. My next concert is not until June 16 in Sedona so I have some time to travel.

Wyoming is calling me and this feeling is very strong. I also long to continue this journey of freedom, not knowing where I am going to be the next day, whom I am going to meet, what I will be doing. I love living like a free spirit.

Also I feel it is time for Simone, not sitting behind the computer all day, but going out in nature, taking time to nurture myself and recharge. I don’t want to go home yet. When I truly listen to my heart, I know what to do but then there is this little voice in me that says; what about your career? I have been working so hard in the last four years and finally I feel that the doors are opening for me here in

America. It hasn’t been easy establishing my self in this new country. It has been an amazing journey that is for sure but definitely not easy. Now, I really feel that the doors have opened and here I go and spend some time traveling and not focusing on my career. Maybe I have to start all over again if I take time of?

 When I write about this I get some clarity. Sometimes we get too focused on a project and then we lose sight of what is really right for us. Don’t I always say that you need to do what excites you for your passion is your destiny? What really excites me at this moment is to go on this wonderful journey, taking time for me, meeting new people, letting the Universe guide me where I need to go and what I need to do. I love discovering new places, being an explorer, a free spirit.I feel that

Wyoming can give me what I need in this moment. I need peace and space.  I need to be with horses. Sometimes we don’t know why we are drawn to a certain area. It could be that this place holds a specific energy that you need at that moment. We need to go in faith as only afterwards we come to the understanding why we had to do certain things. So

Wyoming here I come!!!
