Bio: Born in Oakland, Ca. and raised in the beautiful Valley of the Moon of the Sonoma County Wine Country, much of my early life revolved around the breeding, raising, training, and showing of American Quarter Horses and ranch life. Subsequently, assuming such equine related employment positions as horse trainer, riding instructor, trail guide. horse show "Mom" and "coach" to budding young equestrians, it seems that I've been teaching SOME-thing to SOME-one from the tender age of about 11-12 years old in this lifetime. :-) The care and "raising" of both horses and young people, including a king son and an artisan daughter, in particular, were both a central focus of my life until the higher centered years of 1993-94 kicked in, when I then completed an octave level, transitioning from 5th old and gradually moving more squarely and solidly into an early 6th level old perception and 'focus' in my life in the course of the next seven years. 

I've studied and practiced Mahayana Buddism from 1972 through 1982, through the teachings presented in the last eight years of Sakyamuni Buddha's life, more commonly known as the combined teachings of "The Lotus Sutra". This particular teaching elucidates the workings of the fundamental, underlying law of life itself, which is referred to within this body of work as the "Mystic Law of (Simultaneous) Cause and Effect". The practice and study of this teaching is what I would term a true 'foundational teaching' for me in this lifetime. It supports my Community Responsibility description of "Consequence" to a tee, I've learned too, through my study of the new casting system information channeled through JP Van Hulle in recent years. 

I began my formal "channeling" training in 1982, and worked with a licensed MFCC (an exceptionally well trained and skilled mentor) for approx. 6 months, who taught me much about the "fine art of channeling" and recieving "intuitive" information from higher plane teachers, and in particular, she assisted me in the "practice" of accessing the Akashic plane "records" and thereby retrieving past life information, which has also proven to be a great asset and a mainstay in the work that I now do with the Michaels as well. And, I've also been known to channel Ra, Bashar, "Jacob" (from the Family of Abraham Group) and a feminine energy presence named "Maya" upon occasion for "interested" individuals as well. 

I'm in the Alice Miller kingdom, and have learned much from studying a number of her various works, and have incorporated a great deal of what I learned through her writings into my own personal 'path' and healing work as well. 

I'm a certified Motherwavework practitioner/facilitator, which includes combined techniques such as "natural breath release", fluid body motion, deep belief surgery (identifying & reframing of one's core beliefs), rebirthing, and what might be termed "soul retrieval" or "essence energy retrieval" work into a single, integrated "human technology." Motherwavework can be utilized to assist an individual in accessing and embracing more of their own multidimensional nature and *essential* perspectives, allowing a greater sense of wholeness, an expanded awareness of their own 'seamless universe' perceptions, as well as an increased sense of personal connection and contact with "All That Is" to emerge from within. 

My life task phrase is: "To consciously validate essence, and essence contact experiences", which basically sum's up "what I do" in this life quite succinctly, I'd say. :-)

Some of my favorite pastimes include: investigation and research into past life information (on the net, especially); studying ancient cultures and civilizations; shamanism, animal wisdom and animal communication; hand crafting "one of a kind" household items, such as accent lamps, and making gifts for friends that include a 'personal touch'; 3D sculpture and working with my hands in clay; perusing antique, collectables and thrift stores for "hidden treasures"; camping, swimming, nature walks, horseback riding; and last, but definitely not least, finding great little hole-in-the-wall restaurants that serve "out of this world" Mexican, Indian or Thai cuisine, especially. :-) 
 

How I found the Michael Teachings: 
My first "introduction" to the Michaels and to their teachings began through a series of dream state 'impressions', wherein I was experiencing re-occuring images and impressions of artichokes, of all things, which lasted for approximately three months prior to my first encounter with Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's book, "Messages From Michael" in 1984. 

I had already been channeling another multi-dimensional teacher for two years prior to this initial 'introduction' to the Michaels, and this former teacher had announced to the group shortly before the artichoke dreams began that it was now time to "apply" what had been given from them thus far, and that they were no longer going to be coming through to our group in the manner in which they had for the previous couple of years. In the course of the next couple of months, I began having all of these artichoke dreams wherein I kept peeling back the various 'leaves and looking very closely at each one, one at a time, sampling and tasting each one in turn, and attempting to reach the 'heart' and the 'core' of the 'choke. ;-) I couldn't figure this artichoke dream thing out AT ALL at first, and so I decided to book a session with a local channel whose work I very much respected. I was told in that session that the artichoke basically represented "a new teaching" and a "new teacher" that I would be encountering and perhaps working with (all is chosen, after all ;-) in the near future, and that these dreams were in fact preparation dreams for me in that regard, essentially.

Two and a half to three months later, I happen to come across a copy of "MFM" at a local bookstore, and that was it! I was hooked, and I've been hooked on the Michael teachings ever since. I can NOW look back on it all, of course, and validate that my various agreements with the Michael entity were definitely being activated through those initial series of artichoke dreams and I still get a good giggle (and a goodly number of ripples of appreciation) throughout my whole being over that rather unique style of introduction and presentation of their teachings on the Michael's part. ;-) 

I'm still "peeling" back the ole artichoke 'leaves day by day, and gaining essential glimpses into the true 'heart' and 'soul' within myself and others that I have encountered through this profoundly illuminating and exceptionally USEFUL teaching. It's become like "home base" for me, providing me with a valid means through which to more objectively reflect upon myself, and with which to more clearly evaluate my own choices in life, and through which to more deeply grok 'the game of life' itself that we are all playing out here on the physical plane. 

Well, "that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it." ;-) OXOXO, Terri
