About Najda
.jpg)
When I was 14 years old, I remember wondering, why were all of us here on this planet. The response that came from inside was this. 'The only reason to be here is to help alleviate suffering. What other reason would compel us to travel all this way other than to bring the light.'
I just didn't know what form that would take for me. I thought maybe I would be a nurse. I volunteered as a candy-striper at Mass. General Hospital in Boston. At the end of six months I realized since I couldn't handle the sight of blood, I wouldn't be a nurse. The persistent question of how I wanted to help set me on a path of exploring my inner world and the world of consciousness and healing.
In my late twenties I helped establish a healing center for people seeking personal growth as well as special needs children and their families. Since then, healing has weaved its way through my life working with individuals, couples, children and groups.
I feel deeply grateful to be with someone as they come out the other side of struggle. To support another as the clouds clear and give way to a full exhale, ease and a renewed love for life, this I love.
I offer a variety of modalities; Option Process inquiry, Life Centered Therapy, utilizing kinesiology, testing for emotional and spiritual interference,Oneness Blessing diksha transmission of divine energy, EFT Tapping, Guided meditation and Intuitive guidance. This varied approach allows clients to receive what they need in the moment. Every session is different depending on what will be most helpful.
I am certified as an Option Process trainer, Life Centered Therapy practitioner, and Oneness Blessing practitioner.
My New Book!
I have just published my book, A Story About God's Wife - Bubie's Book. It is a memoir about my grandmother and my spiritual journey. I am so excited to share my story with you!
This book is a bridge that brings together what some believe should remain separate. Its message is of inclusivity and belonging, of embracing who we are and living our truth.
It shares the angst at times of venturing out and widening the shelter of experience. Raised in a conservative Jewish environment the author felt the need to break free and connect with other people, places and other spiritual traditions. Stepping out, she was deeply nourished and fed spiritually but had to confront prejudices along the way.
In a time of upheaval and renewed violence between Israel and Palestinians this book offers hope and possibility for positive change. The author confronts her own fears that held her back to becoming a strong and passionate voice for peace. A Story About God's Wife, Bubie's Book shows the path to peace lies in one person becoming more conscious When inner growth evolves from belief to personal and sometimes mystical experience, hope deepens.
What people are saying:
Bg - This book has soul and a lot of charm. Lovely, a poetic moment. I loved it. I couldn't stop reading it.
Mh - It's wonderful. A sacred poem. It's beautiful. Universal voice that speaks to permission to be who we are and finding our voice It touched my heart.
Jb - I have just barely gotten started on your book last evening and I already love it. It's wonderful and moving and I love the flow of your words.
Sk - In our present world that teaches fear of the other, Najda experiences that she is the other and the other is she. My heart filled over and over and after finishing the last page, I lay smiling and peaceful.
Sn - This is a beautiful book. I've been carrying it around with me and reading it over and over.
Do - This is a story of the author's journey through cultures and religions, while knowing her DNA as a Jew. Who's right, the 1.9 billion adherents of Islam, the 15.7 million Jews or the 2.38 billion Christians? May we all learn the lesson that Bubie lived - to accept and love one another. I highly recommend this book.
Guadalupe the Bear Story
There was all this excitement downtown in Santa Fe on a Sunday in September, 2012. A beautiful brown bear had set herself on the steps of the Guadalupe Church.
Did you know this church is the oldest church to Guadalupe in the U.S. ? Every December 12th, on Guadalupe's Day, the church is filled with devotion, roses and music, singing and guitars till all wee hours of the morning.
People gathered around to watch the reclining Bear stretched out. When a crowd had formed, the Bear moved slightly downhill to a grassy spot. She settled in and fell asleep.
This was a form of the Divine Mother, it seemed like everyone felt it. She had graced this spot with her presence, a large, bountiful and peaceful presence. People gathered to take her picture. The police even came to protect her slumbering form I thought. I wanted to somehow find a way to thank her.
A Mother’s Love
The mother Bear has always been the quintessential example of a mother’s love. This is because of her fierce, protective nature. She steps forward and with courage goes forward to shield and safeguard her young.
At Guadalupe Mountain Healing we have the Bear out front. In her I feel the full force of something powerful, big and compassionate. She lives in the mountain of renewal and regeneration. Guadalupe the Bear. I'm not meaning to belabor the name but I can't help it. It calms me down and lifts me up. It is a presence in itself and the One behind it bolsters, sustains, and nurtures an expansion in me. A call to prayer, to service, to humility and community.
Perhaps you feel Her nudging you, including you in the pleat and fold of Her love and protection.
Guadalupe The Bear tall glass candle is now available for purchase.
