Ruby Slippers

A friend of mine recently passed away from colon cancer. Her name was Dorothy. We had many conversations about Dorothy of Oz, and the power of her Ruby Slippers.  It’s in her honor that I write these words. 

Ruby Slippers.  Those iconic glittery shoes.  I’ve had a longstanding connection with Dorothy and the Wizard, starting with my theatrical debut as Dorothy in my third grade play. So many of the story’s metaphors are woven throughout my own life’s stories. In some way or other, I’ve met all of the characters, and played many of them as well. But that, dear reader, is a story for another time.

It’s those Ruby Slippers that are calling for my attention today. The Ruby Slippers that even the Wicked Witch couldn’t wrestle off Dorothy’s feet.

Those magical Ruby Slippers ended up being Dorothy’s ticket back home to herself.

The Ruby Slippers, of course, are a metaphor for the magnificent power within us all.  Yet, even though we have this power, there are so many ways we neglect it and suppress it. Sometimes we don’t believe in it. Sometimes we don’t know it’s there at all.  Just like Dorothy, we go looking for it outside of ourselves. And, so often, it’s our darkest moments that bring us back to our power.

In the end, though, it’s up to us to tap into our own power.

Here are some steps to tap in:

Become Aware of Your Inner Power —   Dorothy was completely unaware of the power of her Ruby Slippers.  Without awareness, we can’t even begin to use our power.  So the first step, is the simple awareness of the power within you.  Take notice of the power of your mind, your body, your intuition, your gifts and talents, your spirit.  Increased awareness creates increased evidence. Evidence brings belief.

Believe in Yourself —   Dorothy’s adventure in OZ was a search for happiness outside of herself. She never found it. Towards the end, when things got really dark, Dorothy believed she would never find it. Good thing Good Witch Glinda stepped in to remind Dorothy of her inner power. It was only then, when Dorothy believed in the possibility, that she was able to access the magic of her Ruby Slippers.  It’s when we believe in ourselves that we open up to our true heart’s desires. Sometimes that means just believing it’s possible.

Activate your Power  —  Until we activate our powerful gifts and talents, they lie dormant within us. To activate her Ruby Slippers, Dorothy closed her eyes, looked within, and tapped her heels. She believed in the possibility, and she knew exactly what she wanted.  And, at last, her shoes guided her back home to herself.  Self-belief, focus, and clear intention. These are the tools we need to activate our heart’s desires.  It’s our guided actions that will take us where we want to go.

Remember,  your  inner power is always with you, especially in your darkest places. Tap in, and activate it.  You don’t have to wait any longer.  Go home to the power within yourself.  There’s no place like it.

My friend Dorothy was a true inspiration.  Even at the end of her  journey, she radiated the magnificence of beautiful inner power.  I feel honored to have known her.

What my clients say:

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.

~ Nikki Ostrower, Founder and Principal Nutritionist at NAO Wellness.

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.
