Life After Helene
Volunteers for Samaritan's Purse gather in prayer in Buncombe County, NC (Asheville/Black Mountain area)
October 9, 2024
As a resident of Western North Carolina, 40 minutes east of Asheville in the greater Old Fort area, I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of concern and support for me personally and all affected by Hurricane Helene in the region. Here is a recap of my thoughts/emotions over the last two weeks as it may strike a chord with how you are feeling and provide some support. Also I have provided some good local donation options if you are interested.
My First Reaction...How Does This Affect Me?
When this first hit, I was unaware of the severity and was preoccupied with my personal circumstances. I was scheduled to fly out of Asheville to Boulder on Friday, September 27 for a Gene Keys seminar that I had booked 3 months prior. I actually thought that I might make it out later Friday or on a Saturday flight. At that point, I had no idea of the damage to our area. We were able to get news and started seeing the devastation in the area. I promptly started cancelling the flights and all accommodations. I also was distressed that this may significantly halt the progress on a home I was about to break ground on in my mountain community.
The Art of Letting Go
My first insight for a blog was going to be, “The Art of Letting Go”...how it is good to have plans, but we need to hold on loosely and let go of outcomes, so we don’t suffer when we don’t get what we want. According to Buddhist tradition, "suffering is due to longing for things to be different than they are.” Through reframing my mindset, I was able let go of attachments to the loss of the trip and the possible delay of building the house. I was going to blog about finding personal peace in the chaos. Later It became apparent that this seemed to trivialize the extreme human suffering now dramatically illustrated in the photos and news reports from the area. For example, the whole village of Chimney Rock, just 25 minutes from me, was wiped off the map.
Survivor's Guilt Turning to Prayer
The next stage in my emotional rollercoaster consisted of shock, sadness, feeling ungrounded and an outpouring of compassion, wondering how I can help. We are blessed to live on a mountain that was not damaged too much except for many trees in the roads and power outages. I think I experienced a form of survivor's guilt.
How could it be that I am Ok and still living in my sanctuary home and worried about minor things like a cancelled trip, when others have lost their lives, their loved ones, their homes and businesses. Some in remote areas are still in survival mode. I wanted to suffer along with them, but realized that does not help the situation at all. The best thing I can do is stay balanced in the highest frequency possible and be a rock during the chaos. I also decided to donate to local efforts that I trust, and pray regularly. I have set aside regular times during the day to pray and hold intentions for the highest frequency to support humanity and Mother Earth.
The Finer Things Keep Shining Through
At times I am in shock, trauma and anger that this happened in my back yard where I thought we would be safe from flooding. However, this is tempered with being incredibly touched by the show of human compassion and spirit of neighbor helping neighbor. Here are some photos of my immediate area showing the donation stations.
Focusing on Unity vs. Division
As we move forward together, I am trying to focus more on the finer things shining through (taken from the Steve Winwood song). Humanity seems to be exhibiting their "finer" or higher side, which seems to surface the most overtly in troubled times. These events allow us to put down political differences and unify as a collective. It is in times like these that we can appreciate our oneness and extreme connectedness to the whole. Local citizens have taken it upon themselves to help neighbors and start donation pages so their reach can be expanded. It is incredibly heart-warming to witness everyone pitching in for the greater good.
If you feel called donate...
I have realized over the years that it feels better to me to give to locals helping locals if possible. I want to know that my donation directly gets to people in need. If you are feeling called to help, I would recommend donating to Black Mountain’s local retailer, Take a Hike. The owner is a longtime friend and landlord to my dear friend Becca.

"Awakening to the Real You" Online Course
In service to the serious spiritual seeker during Earth's Planetary Ascension, Rebecca Paris and Becca Wineka unveil hidden truths about our multidimensional reality and offer meditations to expand your consciousness and activate your dormant DNA. The short video above tells you about us and provides a course overview. We are offering an introductory rate of just $144 for a limited time. You can also preview a few sections before purchasing. The course is broken down into the following four sections:
The Nature of Our Reality: This section discusses esoteric information about how the reality hologram works...conscious energy manifested through sound, light and cymatics (sacred geometry)
The Miraculous Human Body: We review the chakras (not just 7, but 15) and the real function and importance of DNA (light conducting antennas coded to reality fields). We have at least 12 strands….they are not junk as scientist call the non-coding segments.
Our Blended Reality/Divine vs. False Matrix: How do you tell which one you are living in? How does the ego differ from the authentic, divine self? We illustrate this through the The Truman Show and Free Guy movies among others.
Ascension Tools: It is all about raising your frequency to let more light/conscious energy into your body. Learn to activate and balance your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies.
Our intent is to offer easily digestible information that is told through analogy and personal stories. To help you embody the information, customized meditations that you won’t find anywhere else are included at the end of each section.
