Taking Flight International Corporation

Taking Flight International Corporation Dr. Simington is a Grief and Trauma Management Specialist- Reinventing Joy and Self-Empowerment During those early years of grief I desperately sought healing.

My vision began to take root some years after the tragic death of my 13 year old son, Billy. In my search I frequently attended grief workshops and read numerous grief books. While each offered valuable information on grief, none provided the healing I needed to mend my broken heart, my fractured soul. What I learned in my search I now share with others, through Key note presentations, in my books

and resources, and through teaching the application of these methods to therapists and other therapeutic healers. I have designed and developed two certification training programs, The Trauma Recovery Certification Program, and the Grief Support Certification Program. Certification in both programs can be transferred for credit toward a Master’s Degree in Counseling.

Themes of Harvest, the Autumnal Equinox and Gratitude
© Jane A. Simington PhD.

As the leaves turn from green to red, to gold, I find myself lingering in Nature, pondering one more time the natural ebb and flow of life; and reflecting with gratefulness on the gains that come with this season of harvest. Watching leaves fall from the trees, I ponder what in my life has served its purpose, and what do I now need to let go of? Letting go brings loss but also creates space for new growth and opportunities. Embracing the changes can be challenging, and while I want to control the outcomes, I know it is wisest to simply trust the process, which for me, means believing in the unfolding of a greater plan.

August: Aligning With the Sacred Energy of Eight
August 2024
© Jane A. Simington, PhD.

Today, I watched an older gentleman shuffling through the August afternoon with the autumn leaves reminding him of other summers come and gone. The hands of August gently holding, both the fading glory of Summer and the abundance of harvest, were personifying him, turning on the wheel of life.
August is the eighth month. In Numerology, the number eight represents balance. On August 8th (8/8) the Lion’s Gate Portal opens. This cosmic event provides a direct channel between the material and spiritual realms, offering opportunities to manifest balance between the two. This event, along with the declining signals from Nature stimulate a life review, a process of nostalgic reminiscence, affording us the opportunity to treasure life’s moments and to relish in the lessons they teach.

Granddad and Grandsons: Lessons Learned While Fishing

©Jane A. Simington PhD.
June, 2024.

Imagine a serene lake scene where a young man spends countless hours casting a net of emotional warmth and shared laughter with his beloved Granddad, forming bonds over fishing lines and sunsets, creating nostalgic memories of sparkling water, the smell of fish, and the watchful eye of the guide, and where the lake becomes a canvas for memories and life lessons.

Reflections On the Power of Hope
Jane A. Simington PhD. (March, 2024).

As a child growing up in a farming community, I learned to associate the month of March with the signs of Spring, including the abundant appearance of new life, and of how the continuations from that life would sustain our family. During March, calves, colts, lambs, chicks, and baby turkeys arrived; each requiring and receiving knowledgeable care; in the hope that upon their maturity, they would provide nourishment for the family; and money from the sales of the surplus, to purchase farm and household products, winter clothing for all, and Christmas gifts for us children. Today, as I reflect on memories of those Spring days, I acknowledge and am grateful for the expertise, dedication and continuous work required to achieve the desired goals; and I am also aware that even when those outcomes were not as positive as had been desired, in my childhood home, faith and hope prevailed.

Peace on Earth Good Will to All

The words from this age-old traditional song, based on the 1863 poem Christmas Bells, written by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, are as relevant today as perhaps they were when written.

The Miracle of Gratitude
©Jane A. Simington PhD.
“Give us this day our daily bread” has for me, always been a prayer of both requesting and of gratitude. Among my fondest memories of childhood are the aromas that wafted from mother’s homemade bread, and especially are the memories of the smells that announced that special breads would grace our Thanksgiving Day meal. Growing up in a farming family, while we had limited material wealth, of bread, we were sure. Bread is made of flour; flour is made of grain. Our livelihood depended on the grain crops. We were grateful for the right mixtures of soil, rain, and sun that produced a bountiful harvest.
As a child, I learned that the Iroquois women wove the Cornucopia Baskets and filled them with corn to symbolize the abundance that pours into the physical reality from the abundance of the Universe. Corn sustained the life of the Iroquois. Abundant corn was their reason for celebration. They celebrated in gratitude the corn received, as my farming family celebrated the abundance of wheat.

At The Autumnal Equinox: Balancing Light and Darkness
© Jane A. Simington PhD.

This year the Autumnal Equinox falls on September 23. That morning, at 02:50, in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun will be exactly above the Equator and day and night will be of equal length. In a spiritual sense, as we begin to spend more time in darkness we innately and symbolically shift from an extroverted summer energy of play and connections to a more introverted energy of solitude and reflection.
