Smoking as part of a spiritual process:

I recognize that cigarette smoke serves a specific soul purpose for those drawn to smoke cigarettes. Sometimes, there is an addiction pattern that is being explored; sometimes, there is a need to shield the emotional body from overwhelm (which cigarette smoke does very well.) in extremely sensitive individuals; sometimes, there are past life factors as to why the frequency of the smoke is soothing and feels protective at a certain level of consciousness and it is not my place to judge that journey at all. Smokers may be more comfortable attending retreats where smoking is mutually enjoyed by most participants and that would not be the case here.

Why I Choose a Non-Smoking Environment:

When I made the decision to offer overnight lodging only to non-smokers, I realized some clarification might be needed.

I am sensitive to the reality that I may have visitors who have allergies, asthma or other respiratory concerns. I want to be able to provide as clean an environment as I am able to provide. This is one reason I made the choice to make overnight lodging available only to non-smokers.

However, the main reason I made this choice is my own desire to free of the frequency of cigarette smoke in my living and working space. I am at a time in my life where honoring my own senses about something is fully engaged. To the smoker, it may be hard to realize just how strong the odor can become in a closed bedroom overnight, just from breathing normally all night in sleep. Because the frequency of cigarette smoke is not a pleasant one for me, I choose not to have that frequency in my home for a prolonged period of time.

Additionally, the frequencies and energies that are created in the auric field by a person who smokes will not be conducive to create a cohesive group consciousness at the weekend workshops.

Even though my intent is to provide a smoke-free, pet-free environment for those who have allergies of similar sensitivities to my own, I will also say that this space is not completely free of the vibration of smoke because some of my friends and some members of my family smoke. When they visit, the smell of smoke may be present even though they never smoke inside. Also, people who come here for sessions might be smokers and just the act of breathing will expel a certain amount of tobacco odor for a time after the visit. However, you can be assured that no one smokes while inside this building. Nor will you smell chemical air fresheners.
