SPIRIT IN JOY!

Sovereignty in Flux

5/11/2020

Part of having sovereignty, that space of knowingness, of certainty, and safety, and ownership of who you really are, is the ability to come from, to act from, react from, and see the world from that place. To walk the talk.
Who are you when you are in your sovereignty?
What I have come to know, and am still in process of learning, is that having feelings, and experiencing them makes you stronger, and more of a warrior, than if you didn’t.
That means pain, isolation, or a “setpoint” consciousness, or that gut feeling that tells you that something is not right.
It could be a knowingness.
Perhaps, a knowingness, that you are off track, off target, and adjusting.
When, with a client, and you are looking at the world through your pain picture, or outdated belief structure, for example.
I find this when doing a reading for someone, or during a shamanic session.
If, in a space of protection, or ownership of your space, you are wound too tightly, or your crown is too filled with preconceived notions, you may find that you are missing the point.
It is one of the reasons that I love the Berkeley Psychic Institute style of reading, because (if done well) you are always in flux, you are always freeing yourself from stuck, old belief patterns, or fears, that keep you from fully being alive, growing, and being well, as a spirit in a body.
What that means for your sovereignty, your ownership of your space, (which includes all 4 bodies) is that it moves, and changes, and is always changing.
It is in a state of flux, as you are in the process of being annealed. You, by your realizations of who you are, and who you are not, are growing and changing, taking steps up, and evolving.
That means that your protections are changing, including what you are protecting yourself against.
What are your protections, when you have a belief picture in your space, that everyone is out to get you? What are your sovereign entitlements, and how does it help you, if you have a picture of guilt, or being unworthy? Do you radiate less light? As you work on yourself, and clear yourself, you start to see the world differently.
And, the world may react differently.
When you see how each of us are artists, and we each paint our own picture of “the truth”, even your own belief system, your own truth, is in a state of flux.

If you have read “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, you may be interested to know that there is a fifth one, about discernment.
All of these agreements are quite freeing, and will change how you see your place in the world.

"The fifth agreement is be skeptical, but learn to listen.
Be skeptical because most of what you hear isn’t true. You know that humans speak with symbols and that symbols are only the truth because we agree, not because they are really the truth.
But the second half of the agreement is learn to listen, and the reason is simple: When you learn to listen, you understand the meaning of the symbols that people are using; you understand their story, and the communication improves a lot.
Once you realize that hardly anything you know through symbols is true, then being skeptical has a much bigger meaning. Being skeptical is masterful because it uses the power of doubt to discern the truth. Whenever you hear a message from yourself or from another artist, simply ask: Is it truth, or is it not truth? Is it reality or is it a virtual reality? The doubt takes you behind the symbols and makes you responsible for every message you deliver and receive. Why invest your faith in any message that is not true? By being skeptical, you don’t believe every message; you don’t put your faith in symbols, and when your faith is not in symbols, your faith is in yourself.
To have faith is to believe without a doubt, and to doubt is to be skeptical. Don’t believe all the stories that we artists create with our knowledge. You know that most of our knowledge isn’t true, so don’t believe me, don’t believe yourself, and don’t believe anybody else.
The truth doesn’t need you to believe it; the truth simply is, and it survives whether you believe it or not. Lies need you to believe them. If you don’t believe lies, they don’t survive your skepticism, and they simply disappear.
But skepticism can go in two directions. One way is to pretend to be skeptical because you think you’re too smart to be gullible. “Look at how intelligent I am. I don’t believe in anything.” This is not skepticism. To be skeptical is not to believe everything you hear, and you don’t believe because it’s not the truth, that’s all.
The way to be skeptical is just to be aware that the entire humanity believes in lies. You know that humans distort the truth because we are dreaming, and our dream is just a reflection of the truth.
Every artist distorts the truth, but you don’t need to judge what somebody says, or call that person a liar. All of us tell lies in one way or another, and it’s not because we want to lie. It’s because of what we believe; it’s because of the symbols we learned, and the way we are applying all of those symbols. Once you are aware of this, the fifth agreement makes a lot of sense, and it can make a very big difference in your life.
People will come to you and tell you their personal story, their point of view, what they believe is truth. But you won’t judge if it’s truth or if it’s not truth. You don’t have any judgment, but you do have respect. You listen to the way other people express themselves, knowing that whatever they say is nothing but a story distorted by their beliefs. You know that because you can feel it. You just know. But you also know when their words come from truth, and you know without words, and that’s the main point.
Truth or fiction, you don’t have to believe anyone’s story. You don’t have to agree or disagree. Just listen. The more impeccable a person is with the word, the clearer the message will be, but the words that come from another artist have nothing to do with you. It’s nothing personal. You listen and you understand all the words, but the words no longer affect you. You no longer judge what other people say because you understand what they are doing. They are only letting you know what is going on in their virtual world.
All artists live in their own dream, in their own world. In that world, whatever they perceive is truth for them, and it could be that it’s absolutely true for the artists who are expressing their story, but it’s not truth for you. The only truth for you is what you perceive in your world. With this awareness, there’s nothing to prove to anyone. It’s not about being right or wrong. You respect whatever somebody says because respect is so important. When you learn to listen, you show respect for other artists, you show respect for their art, for their creation.
All artists have the right to create their art in whatever way they want. They have the right to believe whatever they want to believe; they have the right to say whatever they have to say, but if you don’t learn to listen, you will never understand what they’re saying. When you learn to listen, you know exactly what other people want. Once you know what they want, what you do with that information is up to you."

All of us, especially healers, and those in the helping services, need good ownership of our crown, and the wisdom in action of our sovereignty, our divine right to have our space in a state of wholeness.
But don’t put on a one size fits all crown.
Allow your space to grow, and expand, as you do, as your spirit, and your personality, and your clientele does.
It can be like a dance, and not just a contract, or form that you fill out.
It is, an agreement, however.

I can liken it to a politician, or teacher, or a person in power. Even a beauty pageant winner, lol.
What do they do, with this power?
Are they being of service? Are they self serving? Does their crown bend, and change, and grow with them?
Look at your ownership of your power, and your crown, now, and where you were 10 years ago.
Luckily, it was those mistakes that helped you along the way! Those realizations, or the letting go of unnecessary armor, or old pictures of survival, or victimhood, or control.
Perhaps it was the standing up for yourself.
Or, of the asking for help, and the softening.
Or using helpers, and guides.

"Your crown has been bought and paid for. Put it on your head and wear it." ~ Maya Angelou

Your discernment, in your life, and the “mistakes”, and changes leading up to that discernment, have become the rubies, and the pearls, and the emeralds, and the diamonds which adorn your crown.
And, it is not a contract or agreement, which is written in stone, but one that is fluid, and allows for change, as you do, and as we all do.
A crown of sovereignty, and of power, and protection, which lasts through time, and both has a purpose, and, also, just is.

Acknowledge what is

4/2/2020

0 Comments

These are indeed strange times, and strange days, and I am grateful for them, as it has opened my eyes, ears, and heart, and crown, to what is around me.
Grateful to be working from my home, and I am doing readings, and healing sessions, daily. It is, in a way, my daily practice of mindfulness. And also my use of compassionate vision.
As the world slows down for people, they either go into the future, and rehearse everything going wrong, and all their fears jump to the forefront, or, they stay in the present moment, seeing, and hearing things, that they previously have shut off, or, turned way down.
And what shows up, is what’s right in front of them.
And it may not be pretty.
But that’s ok.
The truth is right there, it has been there the whole time.
Just like your shadow self.
All those things you have been too busy to look at, or acknowledge, or created such busy-ness, and driven-ness, and such oh so important diversions, well, they are just sitting right there, next to you.
They have been there the whole time.
But you knew that.

Sometimes we give too much power, to the things that we are afraid of, or, that make us uncomfortable. Perhaps we are uncomfortable, because, we feel not ready to handle it, or to make that big change, or, just don’t have what it takes to change our lives in such a big way.
Maybe it means more work for us, or, to “step up to the plate”, or to show up more, in our lives.

This is one of the great things about our usual, normal, busy and very full lifestyle.
And here we are, all quarentined, with lots of extra space, and time.
To notice.
To feel.
To be curious.
There may be something tugging at your heart.
Or, your mind.
Or, your consciousness.
Or, your shadow self.
Maybe something is not right.
Something needs to change.
And now, it thinks it has a chance to get your attention.
That’s right.
You just looked, a little bit.

And all the love and light meditations, and all the worrying and caring for others in this crazy time, and all the global pain, and fear, and craziness, and oh my Goddess, this is out of control, or
conspiracy theories, or end of the world scenarios, can’t really hide the fact, that something needs to be looked at, and now, right now, you have some time to do that.

Well, first off, you don’t have to change your pleasant, comfortable life, immediately. But, it is so much healthier, to allow things to bubble up from the unconscious, for you to see, or know, or be aware of. Believe me, if your spirit wanted you to get it, it could come flying at you, in a big way, to get your attention, like an illness, an accident, or, an event. Better to have it come through you, rather than at you.

Saying hello to it, and acknowledging it, is healthy, as is, perhaps, having a conversation with it.

What could it be? Maybe that you need to exercise more, your body is screaming at you. Or, you are hanging out with the wrong people, they are toxic. Or, that your creativity, simply cannot be bottled up anymore. Or, that you are withholding kindness.

So let’s do that meditation now, and stop avoiding, and have a simple, and curious look.
Just breathe, and slow down, and breathe into that beautiful body of yours. You can imagine yourself surrounded, and contained, in a bubble of sacred space, of light, and be grounded. Connected to the earth, like long roots.
Just take one, long deep breath, after another, and close your eyes for a moment, and be in that space, behind your eyes. Be in that room, in the center of your head. And just breathe.
Your intention is to slide down, slide your consciousness down, into your heart space, and allow all the noise, and distraction, and busyness, and thoughts, to subside, for a bit.
Breathe, and feel safe, and present, and go into that quiet space of the heart.
Perhaps you only hear your soft heartbeat, reminding you of where you are, and that you are ok, that you are safe, and grounded. And that you love yourself. And breathe. And relax your shoulders, and feel the weight of your body, sitting quietly, where you are.
In that quiet heart space, allow, just allow, small bubbles to rise up and float up around you, as if you are immersed in water, comfortable, clear, clean water. You can see the few tiny bubbles billowing up and past you.
And breathe, and hear the sound of your hearts beating, as you relax, and become curious.
And your curiosity, lets you put your finger on one of those tiny bubbles, just one.
As the bubble pops, it allows itself to be heard by you. It is your own voice, or, perhaps an image, or something that has been trying to get your attention. It has tried to get your attention, to be heard, but you were so busy. So much distraction.
Breathe, and be curious, and listen.
Perhaps there is a feeling with the message. Perhaps not. It can be very strong, or, a simple message, or feeling.
Choose a simple one right now. Maybe something you are dreaming about needs to be attended to, some creative project. Maybe your heart has wanted your attention, to speak up about something, important to you. To take a stand, or have a boundary. This is a simple thing, contained in a bubble, that wants your attention.
‘Notice all the flowers in your garden. We give you joy!”
“I need a break from that depressed person I’m around, I can’t fix them”.
“Please, please, can we do something fun, can we make a sculpture? We have time!”
“I need to ask for help on this thing. I need to talk with someone who knows.”
"I am still grieving the loss of something/someone. I need to get away, and cry a bit.”
“It’s time to let go of this. I need space."
“I need to get back into the joy of life."
“I really love the earth”. I miss her beauty, and the smells and sounds of nature."
Just breathe, and allow that one bubble to be absolutely heard.
You have stopped all the chatter, and all the business.
Thank you. I hear you.
Thank you for that.
Perhaps just put your hand on your heart, as you start to come out of this short meditation. Breathe, and be aware of your body, and stretch a bit. You will feel much more relaxed, as you go about your day. A part of you has felt heard. Validated.
You may wish to do something about what you saw, felt, or heard, right away, but perhaps not.
Maybe just write it down for yourself. Or tell a friend about your thought, or idea. Or let that feeling of sadness, or grief, or anger, be with you today. Just let it walk around and be with you.
You don’t need to distract yourself from it today, as you go about your day.

Sometimes, amazing things can happen, from a simple acknowledgement of what is.
It is the beginning of a very good thing. A simple hello can change everything.

So now, we can go about our day, being in the present moment a bit more, a bit softer, and a bit wiser.

Many gentle blessings on your day,
be well, be curious,
be here.

We do not become healers.
We came as healers. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become storytellers.
We came as carriers of the stories
we and our ancestors actually lived. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become artists. We came as artists. We are.
Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not become writers.. dancers.. musicians.. helpers.. peacemakers. We came as such. We are. Some of us are still catching up to what we are.
We do not learn to love in this sense.
We came as Love. We are Love.
Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.

That's not your energy

3/8/2020

1 Comment

People can take on many energies from others, including those we care about the most. Sometimes complete strangers can catch you off guard too. You may not expect it, and so were not prepared.
Another reason why I love the tools of sovereignty, and protection. Psychic meditation means knowing yourself, so that when something very different, or foreign enters your space, your energy field, you are aware of it.

If a very strong or powerful emotion comes up, and doesn’t go away, perhaps seems overwhelming, take a look, and say hello to it. It might not be your energy.
Another reason for running energy everyday, and a great reason also, for energy checks…. I would call them wellness readings, from colleagues. They focus on your energetic tools, the way a mechanic would do a diagnostic on your car. Even the mentioning of something foreign in your field, could help you as a spirit remove it, become senior to it (seniority is another word for sovereignty, that oh so important tool).

It may also help you understand it, or, lighten up about it. Very serious energy focused on something tends to make it stuck. Looking at something in a light hearted, and amused way, helps you to move the energy easier.
I see it like very hard, cold honey, or, honey that is warmed up, and flowing.

You may appreciate this story. Today, I had two clients for long readings come to my home. The first ones reading was gifted by her aunt. I read her first, and then the second woman, the aunt, received hers.
She didn't have a question, "just read what you see".
So, she said her full name a few times, and I took a look.

She was ok, but, there was a large, heavy, grey mass of energy swirling in front of her belly, and heart. I saw that it was the death energy, of someone who was dying, perhaps a friend. The dying woman was freaking out about it, and her energy, and some of the beings showing up for her, were in her torso area. It was freaking this womans body out, and putting her in fear, sometimes intense fear.
I told her that, (gently), and she replied that it was spot on. Her friend (of a very tight circle of friends, of many decades) was indeed dying. She had just seen her in a SF hospital, where her ALS was taking its toll.
I started to tell her other ways she could be a good friend, and care for her friend, without taking this stuff on in her space.
Then, the wind chimes that were in the room starting chiming loud.
"That's her", she said.

I proceeded to have a long, loving conversation with the dying woman, telling her how loved she is, and that, when she is ready, all of her guides, and psychopomp beings, and her soul guide are waiting there for her, and she doesn't need to fear. That the energy in (my clients) space is too much for her, and she will need all of her essence, for when the time is right. And that also, the beings that are around her (that had been around her in her life) cannot go with her, they need to transcend, and that they must leave my clients space as well.
There was an energy shift in the room, and my client said she felt a strong hard knot in her stomach, and then felt it leave. There was a palpable shift in the air, the wind chime stopped moving, and it felt peaceful, and light.

My client was relieved. She didn't expect any of this.
"You know, I did have a massive panic attack a couple of days ago, and I never ever have them".
"Yes. That's because the panic attack wasn't yours".

I guess the strangest part of this story, (more than the wind chimes going) is that I saw "death energy" in my clients stomach, and not "her friends energy". It was heavy. They (both) left feeling really light. It was validating to witness the simple act of someone being very afraid to die, jumping into a loving close friends arms, not knowing what that meant.

We all got something from that reading, and, my client became very aware that energy, and emotion that is anothers could feel like your own.
When you check your inner landscape daily, it is so much easier to notice something that feels off, or different, and you can acknowledge it in the very beginning, helping your body to feel safe, and saving you a lot of time, and stress.
Remember your amusement, too, as it keeps things simple, and keeps your tools lubricated.

That space, before creating

2/6/2020

0 Comments

That space before creation happens.
Well, you can call it creating, or call it making your mockups, or attracting something into your field of energy, or vibrating like the thing that you want.
What I am looking at is right before that. and, a little bit before that.
You know, when things just seem all wrong, or all you see is what you do not want. Maybe you don’t know what you want, or, don’t know how to get into the space of creating what you do want. That level of discontent.
It’s actually such a powerful place. Our discontent shows us so much. And, you must have it to feel the urge to grow. It’s necessary to progress. It is a restlessness.

Sometimes people react in an unexpectedly extreme way, to the discontent they have been sitting in, or is all around them. Something jolts them to finally make a change, and it may be great, and may be a bit harsh.
A polarity.
And then there is the opposite, like the frog in the water getting hot slowly, then starting to boil. He hardly noticed it, as it was very slow.
In that, I mean, that you adapt, or put up with your uncomfortableness, or restlessness, and miss your mark, creation wise. Nothing happens, and you either accept it as the new normal, or sink into that atheist energy of “I can’t create, as a spirit”.
That place, just before you get off your chair, and make something happen, is a pretty awesome place, even though it can be uncomfortable.
Artists know it. That place before inspiration kicks in. The blank page can be exciting.
There is a restlessness, before the discontent.
That is a good time to go into the void, to explore the yearnings, and notice the energy, and be still, and sit with it.
I promise you, that the magic will happen.
Because we really don’t create from nothing. You have been creating all along. You have all the tools. You are just waiting for the wave, to come along, like a surfer, so you can do what it is that you love.
It’s quite the yin experience, that yielding, that being with it.

I think that that place is a good place to start, when you want a change, but not sure what.

Remember, if you don’t dream your own dreams, you will end up a player in someone else dream!

Maybe being clear about what you don’t want (anymore) can help you define that restlessness, and the act of destroying (either physically, or energetically) gives you space, and permission.

I am aware, also, that there are times that a big explosion needs to happen, to level the playing field. Perhaps you need a change, and have set the bar way too low for a while, or, feel like you don’t deserve, or feel a victim to life circumstances, or just have to release a lot of pent up energy, or emotion, or stickiness. You need a big loud something.
That is a great time to do some destroying.

Destroying something feels great! It moves energy!

Smash things, yell into the silence, release something, declutter, end something.
My friend used to get a stack of plates at the thrift store, and then come home and yell, and purge and smash them all.
(In a safe container to do that in).
I recommend getting a dozen raw eggs, and write on them with permanent marker, breathe the energy into them, and then smash them with abandon, in the shower or sink.

In psychic meditation, you blow up the mental image of a rose. You can put something with a strongly charged energy on this rose, and then explode it. Sometimes it takes a few times, to de-charge something.
Destroying things clears the field, and actually lifts up the energy, so you can create. Or, changes the space, so you can allow.

Some people just thrive on that feeling of restless discontent, and strive to get that rush of something new. Some people abhor change, and can’t quite get to those places to change their lives, even though they have a craving for more.

I am watching so many of my friends, and clients make announcements of big sweeping changes they are making, like selling everything, and moving to another country.
There are some that are creating workshops to teach in, going back to school for a deeper education, and creating grand new art forms, and grand new relationships, never before considered. Nice, big, fat leaps, into the unknown.
But…
the past few months, had everyone struggling, and discontented, even blaming, and then sitting.
Just sitting, quietly, with what is. and, allowing.
Just being with it. That yearning, and restlessness.

A good journey, or meditation, could be to just be in the void, the safe deep blackness, and vastness of the void. You could come with your restlessness, and your yearning, and just sit. Sit with it, just be, and see what comes up, before taking any action.
Being in that space of awareness of what is, being present to it, gets you centered, and that gives you choices, as to how to respond.
Create from that space first. Decide the type of energy you want your creation to come from.
Effort? No effort? Help from others? Enough of what you need? Support? Co creating?

The rest will come much smoother, with synchronicity, will be divinely guided. Even the uncomfortable parts, the destroying parts, the squeezing yourself into the new you, that can have it.
And, indeed you shall!
You have the tools you need, and you are enough.

Enjoy creating! Perhaps I’ll see you in the void!
Helena

You have the tools already

12/5/2019

We’re all leaving behind a decade of experience, and growth, and preparing.

In this past decade, for me, I have purchased a home with my partner, I have started a career, I have been writing, creating, growing gardens, and pruning trees. I have hit many layers of energy, and old belief patterns, that would’ve had me stay small.

Some things I could not do myself, and that teaming up, and sharing, has changed me immensely, in ways I wouldn’t have grown otherwise.
I have taught classes, taken classes, taken teacher trainings. I have done hundreds and hundreds of healing sessions, and thousands of readings, and (have strived to) learn from each and every one.
I have sat with my shadow self, to know, and understand, and just be. I have both been not afraid of the darkness, and yet, very afraid.

Quite a few relationships have come under scrutiny, as I have changed, and grown, and become.
Some have made it through my changes, (fantastically!) and some have not. And, while some of it has made me grieve, made me sad for what once was, I stand firm in present time, as waves of change roll over me, like standing chest deep in warm ocean waters. You learn to either jump up, or dive deep down, when the waves come.

And I look at what I am about to create, what new chapter, now. How am I reinventing myself?
I can sense from my clients throughout the years, the waves of change, and doubt, and fear, and doing it anyway, and cleaning up their (our) act, that these things have a distinct pattern, in our lives, and also, as a collective.

For example. I see how a certain sense of unrest, of uncomfortableness comes before a change. The work begins, to change, to examine the old beliefs and patterns, of blaming others, and then, finally, looking within, to why the pattern has been occurring.
There always is a bigger picture, a gentle (or not so gentle) nudging to be greater than oneself.

Yes, of course, it is about our dreams, and what we want to create in our lives. We have that urge, the daydreaming, the not happy with what is. there is the trying, the talking, the practicing, and the asking for help.
The baby steps, the looking for a guarantee, the not feeling good enough. The making of mistakes, the mea culpas.
A choice is offered.

Then, there is the plunge.

What I have learned from this decade, in myself, my friends, family, and my clients, is that there is a larger pattern to our changes, like the pattern on a fabric, or a fractal in nature. And, our changes, happen in a pattern, even though it didn’t seem that way when we were in them. We were too close.
Backing up, and asking for help, and looking at it from a larger context, helps everything make sense.

"Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion." ~ Rumi

Perhaps, your next step involves being a part of a team, and not just always doing it yourself!

That is why meditation, that is why getting a reading, that is why working with your helping spirits, and guides makes such a profound difference.

Most people do what they do, because they have a passion, a love, a need, to be of service, to help others. To give, and be a part of something. That drive, is what creates, and that drive is in itself magic.
All the rest is just gathering materials, experience, and nerve.

“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction." ~Rumi

Can you think of a time in your life, where you just knew, that you had to do something, had to go in a direction, had to make some big change? And that you may have to go beyond the loving but fearful loved ones, or the naysayers, or the nonbelievers?
You just had the knowingness, and the passion in your heart, and you just did it anyway?

That is what this article is about.

“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.” ~Rumi

You have the tools.
You did the work on yourself.
You made the needed mistakes.
You talked with all aspects of yourself.
You went through the painful energetic separations, of what once was.
All of it.
That is what this last decade was about.
Now it is time to get started with your dream.
The new one, for the new year. The one you have already done all this work on yourself for.

You have the tools.

of course you can always ask for help, in this reinventing of yourself, but it is you that must do it, no one can do it for you.
And, never mind what they think. they will change their picture of you (eventually).
The question remains: should you tell people about it? Do you need to keep it to yourself for a while, as it grows roots, and develops a foundation?
Or, do you need the support of others, to begin?
There are good aspects of both, but sometimes talking about it to others, before doing it dissipates the energy.
And, sometimes, it makes it seem more real.
That part is up to you.

"Sometimes, there is just no one to talk to, and you must just set out on your own" ~ Rumi

Once you decide, once you are 100 percent, everything you need will start to come. Synchronicity happens.
Just remember the larger pattern, that you are in. And that you have your guides, and helpers.
That your passion involves helping others, and truly being of service.
You are a magnet to it, as it's been in you, a part of you, all along.
You have the tools, for this new year, and new decade.

"What you seek, is also seeking you" ~Rumi

I honor your choice in how you go about it, and grateful to be of service, if I can, in what I do.
The world needs you.
Enjoy this turning of the wheel, into a new decade, and pat yourself on the back for all the work you have already done to get here, to this point.

Labyrinth of Change

11/7/2019

1 Comment

A few times in our lives we have to re-invent ourselves. Maybe more than a few. This post is about that. And, as always, there is a spirit tool here for you to use.
Of course we have the huge ones, perhaps a loss of a loved one or partner, or a home. Perhaps changes in our bodies, from illness, to menopause (or andropause), or simply in the clumsy grace of aging. We make huge changes when our career or focus changes. Those with children, see such changes happen quickly! Perhaps deciding a relationship, even a friendship doesn’t work anymore. A huge lifestyle change.
It could be a spiritual shift, also. Your energy perhaps has just changed so much (imperceptible at first), that the past just doesn’t fit anymore.
Many have happened to me, and are happening. In my practice, I read, and do healing work at just that exact place…the meeting between body and spirit. Sometimes it is just a simple hello, or acknowledgement, a bringing to awareness, or consciousness, as to what’s going on.
That’s when the magic happens.
Usually, when you do the energy work first, the rest, the physical, even the mental, and emotional, fall into place.
And what a nice place to be. To have everything working together.
Because change, is a constant.
And resistance is futile.

We just recently had our first event at the labyrinth at Robert Sibley Park, in the East Bay hills of Northern California, where I built a rock labyrinth in an old quarry, many years ago. I’m grateful that it’s still there, and a smattering of people make the trek down the hill every single day, to use it.
The East Bay Regional Park has “grandfathered it in" to the park, even though there are a few others, perhaps because it is the oldest, or the most used, and I am grateful for that, as it is a sanctuary. It is a place to get answers, to meditate, to enjoy nature in peace, and to celebrate the spirit of the land.

And every year, it gets destroyed.
There is a small, vernal pond, right next to it, which houses loud mating chorus frogs, and California newts, small snakes looking for a snack, and many animals who drink from it. It smells of the Pennyroyal, the Chamomile growing around it, and sometimes, of the rich mud surrounding it.
Every year, every winter, it rains, and all the rain from the quarry accumulates right there, and the labyrinth gets submerged, especially the top half. The carefully placed stones sink into the rich mud, and are no more. The pathways on the top half end up as tracts of water, after everything subsides, and those chorus frogs lay their eggs in it. As the sun dries those pathways, the froglets are jumping out to live their new lives.
And the labyrinth needs to get rebuilt. New stones placed, to keep the paths defined, and healthy.
How wonderful. It reinvents itself, every year, with the help of people like me, and you, and those who care for the magic of the place.
There are, literally, 30 years worth of sunken rocks, which makes it a long, three dimensional, structure, going down into the depths of the quarry, carrying with it, some of the magic of the center. It grounds the spot into the earth, right there, in that caldera of an ancient volcano. How powerful.
It is more powerful, because of that.

Back to the first story.
Sometimes your life change feels very sudden, almost a crisis, but, when you look at the energy of it, the shift had already come. A change had already been made, the energy was set up, and then the physical manifestation followed. And when we are aware of them, we can either work with those energies, to be a co creator, or, at least do the necessary work to invite the change in to our lives, even if it is a temporary one.
Some of the tools we could use are, neutrality, letting go (releasing the picture of what it should be or how life should be, grace, compassion, being present, and in our bodies (breathe, honor your body, and its limits), gratitude, acceptance, response-ability.
Humor. This tool, the tool of amusement, cannot be underestimated!

There are, also, two more ingredients to this recipe for the re-inventing of your self, and they are, Time, and the Grace of asking for help.
The part where you do the energy work is always a dance, intertwined with doing things in the physical. Perhaps your change is a good one, and involves your wonderful burst of light, and self growth in your life. You see the relationships that need to change, and do the energy work of acknowledgement, of separation, of releasing the past, or of pain, of cutting cords, and of going within, to get your answers. Perhaps to give yourself permission to change, to grow, to be different than who you were. To make peace, with your old world, from all the parts of you. Be curious, as to what else comes up. Perhaps there is deep pain there, or, perhaps you need to grieve the past, or, be heard, or acknowledged for something. Do you need to forgive? Forgive whom?
Now, with some answers for yourself, and some shifting and opening of energies, the physical world is a bit different, and it is easier to work in the world of time, and space.
So, make some changes. Even some small ones at first. Move some furniture around, get that job interview, make some calls. Do something in the new space you have found yourself in.
Take a risk.
The next big tool, is to ask for help.
That is powerful, beyond belief.
Ask for help.
From your friends, from your guides, and helping spirits, from strangers, from colleagues. From the universe.
You may not get it in exactly the way you were expecting, but most times, you get exactly what you need.

You are softened, and humbled by this act. Life happens from a different perspective.

"Not with the eyes,
I am looking for you,
but with the heart,
in this labyrinth
we call life.

Where are you?"

Hafiz

Back to the story of the labyrinth...
For the past 3 or 4 years, I have co-lead a labyrinth/nature walk to the labyrinth, with Regional Park naturalist Michael Charnofsky. Many people get the tour, and learn about the rock formations, history of the park, of the history of labyrinths, and even a bit of my spirit practice thrown in for good measure… the spirits of the land, the healing energies of a labyrinth, etc. It’s always a fun day. This last time, a few people offered to help maintain, instead of me doing it by myself.

And I said yes.

Here is a map to the labyrinth:

Luckily, with the labyrinth, it’s in a quarry, and so after the rains expose more rocks, on the sides of the road leading down, and even rolling down from the steep hills surrounding it.
We just had our first “Friends of the Labyrinth” event there, in October, where we spent an afternoon, lovingly refurbishing it. We enjoyed ourselves, and ate snacks, laughed, told stories, and did a ceremony in the center. People who came down to walk the labyrinth, helped with a few rocks, and were on their way again. Some stayed for the ceremony, and are now on the “Friends of the Labyrinth” team, which will return to do the same, each season.
After all these years, it is being reinvented, as a fun event, and a ceremony, as opposed to me doing it alone, in effort.

And I wondered about all the other parts of my life which are being re-invented, instead of being stuck in a certain energy, which keeps it from growing. Which keeps me from growing.

Layers and layers of the old belief system, almost keep it hidden, and it is hard to use all these new tools, of Grace, of Humor, of compassion, of letting go, of not being so afraid of change (since we are dancing with it anyway, in the temporal world).

When will it feel safe for you to reinvent yourself in some way? What parts of you need to be dismembered, of the old structures, and patterns.
What tools do you need?
Can you do the energy work first, so the change feels welcome, and not an intrusion into what was?

What needs to be released, or accepted, or owned, or revisioned, and welcomed, before you go out into the world, to reintegrate your internal changes, and your opening up, your softening up space, to ask for help from the outside.
Do you need to slow down, in order to receive that, before
making a change, affecting a change, doing something in the outside world, now, to make it real?

I used the story of the labyrinth, because for me, asking for and getting help opened up the space for new friendships, new possibilities, a space of inviting in.
Also, the pattern of the classical labyrinth takes you through all the steps, of a chakra healing, and an inner chamber or sanctuary, to gather and use your tools, get inspiration, an answer, a healing, before going back out into the world, with your new self, your present time self, into the world of change.
What a dismemberment, and re-memberment.

Now, how do you want your day to go today? What thing will you allow to unravel, so the light can shine on it, and allow itself to be changed?

Exploring the Energy of Neutrality

10/4/2019

0 Comments

"What you resist, persists" ~ Carl Jung

This article is on the energy of neutrality, that spirit tool, that can free you, and give you more choice in your life.

Watching things grow, and offering nourishment, starting with the things I love. It’s so easy, it just flows out naturally. My partner, my friends, nature, my family, the earth, the land I live on. The beings who also share the land here; fairies in the yard, the spirits of the big trees, the house elf.
And of course, my cat, who is probably basking in the fall sun somewhere outside, as I write this.
My clients who are working on themselves, trying to be their best.
The squirrels who are in my yard, eyeing this same ripe figs on the tree outside, as I am!
Everything around me seems to be in some type of harmonious working order, from the workers on the house next door, the mail carrier on her route; it’s easy to send love and appreciation, in neutrality, to the world around me.

The hard part is continuing that flow of energy when what you see is hateful, ignorant, or destructive, dangerous, or just unconscious.
Sometimes, those people, or situations are not yours to fix. Or, they are not your business.
That place is what this article is about, being ok with the world not being ok. It involves backing up a bit, and loving the big picture. Being a compassionate and loving person, does not mean not feeling angry, or having no boundaries.
Sometimes, what you can do, is feel your feelings, see what you see, and allow. Become neutral to what is.
No “spiritual bypassing”. Just for a moment. And don’t try to fix it, solve it, or see the bright side of the picture.
Be with what is, just for a moment, even with the uncomfortable, or the sadness, or the rage, or the grief, in you.
That is a part of this. This being alive. Sometimes things are ugly, or messy.
your neutrality, can be an important spirit tool. It is a psychic tool that I use everyday, in my readings, in my work, in my life.

And, like learning any tool, you need to practice, everyday, to build that muscle.
Neutrality. It is the lubricant of your life. On an energy level, it unhooks you from your beliefs, and thought patterns, and can be quite freeing. Freeing from that whole “story” that your ego tells you about it, about what is.
The story. In all it’s glory.
Also, the energy in your space will flow smoother, as the opposite of neutrality is resistance, and that creates a thicker energy.
I see it as a sticky, slow energy, that tends to get tangled up in things, and that resistance, creates more of the same.
The phrase, “resistance causes persistence”, is true.

Energetically, resistance, or non neutrality slows everything down, and is like a “stop” energy. I see it clairvoyantly as a “DON'T LOOK", there are painful beliefs and memories there”.
And, it seems, that the whole “story” about it is a means to persuade you, or protect you, and probably isn’t true at all, or, is just one opinion. Is it yours, this story?
Sometimes, being aware of, or allowing some of those beliefs or painful memories can be enlightening, or, a reality check, or can allow some of that “stop” energy to dissipate.
And that, can free up a lot of life force in you!

When you remember that you are not your thoughts, but you are the awareness behind those thoughts, everything changes.

It brings clarity, and a spiritual presence. It brings you into present time. And that is a healing unto itself.

You are not your thoughts, nor your emotions, you are the awareness behind them.

You are not your beliefs, either.

One of my jobs in freeing myself, and in cleaning, and owning my own space, is to find out where I am not neutral.

I do it in every psychic reading that I do. I do it in every “clean out”, after every reading that I do.
With my awareness in my 6th, and 7th chakra (which is where I read from), I am in a place of neutrality, and of sovereignty. When I realize the tightness, and resistance of some energy, even the protection around me looking at it, that comes up for me in my reading work, well, I consider that to be a good thing. A juicy place of releasing pain (mine, or someone else’s) and getting back a lot of my life force.
Plus, I am able to read my client better, as I am clearer. I can see something in more depth, and glean better answers, once my own considerations are out of the way.

I have an energy method to de-charge that stuck energy, of exploding it. I get many answers for myself, and I am a better psychic that way. I can see clearer, for them, without all that judgement, and resistance, and the energy just flows better.
I love seeing where I am stuck, as I can now start to free myself, or at least give myself more wiggle room to be.
The energy flows better, and I have more choice. What an amazing tool, to have in your toolbox, to be able to put yourself in neutral for a bit.
You will learn a lot about yourself, when you remember that you are not your thoughts, you are not your emotions, you are not your beliefs, but you are the awareness, that is behind them.

Sometimes, while doing this disengaging work, you will be amused at your answers; that your resistance was simply a fear! Or, that your resistance was a belief that was not even yours! Or, your resistance, and your ego’s story, was a pitiful attempt at protecting you from “them”, or even your own pain.

Better to have good energetic boundaries, and free yourself. It will be a gift to others, as well as to yourself! Seriously.
Start with just one strong resistance that pops up today. Notice the strong energy blockage, and where you went unconsciously. Just breathe, and say hello to your body for a moment, breathe through any stress, or tension, and then, go into neutral.
you can just allow that strong judgement to still be there (don’t resist the resistance, lol!). Notice it, look at it, be curious. Back up from it, gently, slowly, and just be with it for a second. If pain comes up, or fear, feel that, and then let it go. It is usually something you did not know was there.
You just got an answer for yourself.
Bravo!

Now, when you have discovered something about yourself, and after experiencing it,
allow this energy to either slide off of you, with gravity, all that energy, to the center of the planet to compost, or, use some method of decharging it, after you have stepped out of it.
Throw a bomb at it, and watch it obliterate (I use this method), or, perhaps see it, and imagine an eraser removing it from your space in front of you. Maybe see it being power washed with a great force of water from your energetic field. Whatever works for you. You can even use something amusing, like an animal walking by and eating it.
Whatever works. Now step back in, and just be neutral, and allow.
That whole string of uninterrupted thoughts that were attached to it, start to have less of a hold on you. Be amused.
Be amused.
Breathe. You are resetting your space.
Recalibrating.

You will find, with this work that your energy flows more smoothly. you may even be able to do the thing you were resisting, or talk to the person you were resisting.
It may take a few more tries. Remember, what you resist, persists! It will keep coming up in your life, and in your experiences, until you can make some space for yourself, and get more neutral.
And that is such a healing.
Your reality doesn’t change, but, how you view it does.
And this will free you, and greatly lighten up your energy, which is great, for you, for the people you relate to, from family, friends, pets, clients, and even nature, and the planet herself.
This does not mean take no action, but it does mean clear your space, and then see life, yourself and the world from that clearer paradigm.

Take action from that space, if indeed, any action is even needed.
Enjoy your day, try this tool, it will help you slide into a lighter, and more curious space.

Gathering yourself up

9/8/2019

0 Comments

Gathering yourself up, and condensing all that energy back into your body, can be so refreshing, and healing, and give you back your focus. Where was all that life force?
Why did I do that?
This is some of the basics in good energy hygiene; good energy boundaries.

If you can imagine for a moment, that we, as whole beings, (and by that I mean spirits who have a body), are made of, let’s say, 10 cups of our own energy.
When we have 10 full cups in us, we feel complete, strong, and whole. We are on track with our goals, and just feel clear, and here, and in present time.
Imagine holding, and noticing a beautiful, fragrant, red rose, and being with it for a moment.
Imagine being present with someone else, someone you love, who is quite present as well.
Now, imagine creating something from that place, perhaps doing something you love, like playing a musical instrument, or singing, or dancing, or painting. You want to be there, to experience every drop.
You feel alive, all of it, the happy, the sad, the present, acknowledging and releasing, both the joy and the pain.
That is the best, fully living life! You can create miracles from this space.

I also think that a part of being human, is forgetting, and leaving parts of ourselves, parts of us, in different places. We do that both consciously, and unconsciously.
We leave our energy in the past, and in the future. We leave it in relationships, in our problems (and in other peoples problems), in what we resist, in our list of things to do, and, in our commute home. We leave bits of our energy in our jewelry, our favorite chair, and in the things we are creating.
No wonder we find ourselves spacey, or tired easily!
We may leave ourselves in the ones we love, our partners, kids, friends, co-workers, or clients, and that may be an ingrained habit, as if we can help them by being in their space. Really, we can’t, as they can’t use our energy as fuel, and it won’t solve their problems, or get them to like us more.

You may find yourself getting enmeshed in the emotions of others. Giving ourselves to others may be an ingrained habit, or belief, that that’s how we give to others. Many believe that not doing it means we are selfish. It’s far from the truth, though. When we give away our energy habitually, we end up exhausted, drained, disconnected from our bodies, and our own lives. We’ll feel more energized when we gather our own energy, back into our bodies, and we can support others from that place, of wholeness and integrity.
Better to have good energy boundaries.
Some people like that burst of another’s energy, but most cannot use it, and it feels suffocating, and they end up resenting you, and you, them.
A tablespoon here, a half-cup there, and soon your 10 cups of your own vital life force, is waning.
You’ll end up grouchy, spaced out, and ungrounded, and other opportunistic energies may start to flutter their way into your almost emptied shell.

I use a tool to pull my energy back into myself, without judging where it was, and replenishing myself with it. I learned it many years ago, from the Berkeley Psychic Institute, and it is an energetic staple for me. I use it quite a few times a day. It feels great, and I get to learn a lot about myself, and my habits, my energy leaks, and about people who take my energy.
It’s really not about them, so no judging them. It’s about your own energy hygiene.
In a way, energetically, it will teach you a lot!
You can also use your breath to imagine your energy coming back into you.
Intent, and imagination are very powerful here.

You can imagine a golden ball, like a sun above your head. (I see the place about 8 inches above my head; my eighth chakra, an out of the body chakra). While being in your body, with your awareness right behind your eyes, imagine that you are calling back your energy from the last day or so. Command it back, but not in any way in effort about it. Just call it back, and allow it to start filling back up, nice and slow, and steady, like a golden liquid. That liquid is you. It comes back from all the places you have left it.

You could know where it is coming back from, or maybe not, perhaps just allow it back, with no judgement on anyones part, and allow it to fill to overflowing.
Give that ball of your own energy a hello, and with your intention, drop it down into the top of your head, and let it all slide down, all through your space, your body, your bones, and muscles, everything.

Just allow it to fill up and expand, into all your cells, and the space in-between your cells. You can also let some of it go down your grounding cord as well.
Its your energy. It has intelligence. Let it go where it needs to go…perhaps a chakra, and injury, or a place you feel particularly depleted.

There are so many ways to do this, but I find this method to be the best. Especially after a long meditation where I am releasing foreign energy from my body, my chakra, and my energetic field.

Maybe just fill up the place that I reside, right behind my eyes.
Being whole, with your awareness in the center of your head, or your heart, with good boundaries, is such an incredibly powerful place to be, and from that place, you can give to others in a clean way, in a sacred way. From being whole, and feeling complete.

Not depleted, or entangled.

I also teach people to bring their energy back into their own space by using their breath.
Slow breath in, and gather your energy back.
Slow breath out, and bring it down into the body, filling you up completely.
I might do this 4 or 5 times.
For beginners, or, after a powerful session, you can always bend over, head to knees, and hands on the floor, and release any extra, down into the earth.
For some people, that might be too much at one time.

I also use this amazing tool throughout the day, not just after a long clean out meditation, or energy work session.
After a client, after a group call (I ask everyone to pull their energy out of the bubble of sacred space we co-created, and out of each other, and we complete the space, end it, destroy the bubble, and fill ourselves up with fresh, new energy. We leave the sometimes hour and a half session autonomous, refreshed, energized.
I use it after a long day, where everyone climbed into my space, including my cat, and people on Facebook.
I pull my energy out of the past, so I can truly be in present time. This works for contracts, old agreements, past trauma, or, simply, that old, comfortable overstuffed chair that I sat in for years. Or, a place I used to live.
Some people are in the future. They have so much going on, that they are already energetically at the vacation they will be arriving at in a few days.
so, who is driving the car now?
Other places you can leave your energy:
Your list of things to do.
Your bank account.
Your constant commute to work.
Your significant other. (They will thank you for the new roomy space they get to have!)
The scary thing that you need to do, that you are resisting. (Resisting zaps your energy. Neutrality does not)
Politics.
Your clients.
Your amazing artwork/song/sculpture/book you are writing.

Bringing your energy back to you, in present time, bright and glowing! You can just delight in this newfound feeling of calm strength, clarity, and groundedness . Or, you may want to use it to create more wonderful things, and discover, play, and heal yourself!

Breathe, and be fully back in your body, happily healing, aware, and alive. You can most certainly bend over, and dump out any excess, if you are not used to this much energy at first. Remember to put up some nice, light protections around the edge of your aura, and perhaps crate a brand new grounding cord for yourself.

Enjoy your new space, and your day! If you liked this new tool for your spirit toolbox, please give it a 'like" on Facebook, below, or share it, for a friend.

Being your True Self

7/4/2019

0 Comments

Being your True Self.
You are a being of light, and you have this beautiful body.
We forget that, when we are having problems, or when life gets tough.
Getting back to the core of who you are, though, changes everything.
Being in fear, or matching the anger, or rage, or fear, around you, can seduce you into forgetting. We can experience fear, for example, but we are not that.
We can easily spin out, in our thinking, or feeling, too much, and our programming can come in (maybe trying to help). It doesn’t always. Most times it makes it worse.

Doing what you love, or, doing things with great love is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself. It keeps you in your body, and in the present moment. It can shift how you see the world.
The difference of when you are coming from a place of core love, rather than fear, (besides that it makes you feel good) is that your brain is mostly operating from your subconscious mind, when you are acting from fear. Everything contracts, and your brain uses the information stored in its memory banks. That can include the scary movie you watched last night about zombies, or a glimpse of a past life happening, that you are afraid may happen again. Since it seems like too much to fathom for you, your brain pushes it down into your subconscious mind. Or you make decisions about it from your shadow side. There is a lot of power that gets left there, and your shadow has a lot to tell you about those fears. It can be an amazing thing to do that shadow work for yourself. It can release so much energy, and you will realize that it is a part of you, and not your enemy, or something to be afraid of, or pushed down, or submerged. It is a part of you. As you have more knowledge, and are more aware of it, it doesn’t need to emerge suddenly and act out, because it has no voice. Sometimes there is rage there, sometimes there is great fear. Or shame. Sometimes there is collective shame, or rage. Or fear.
Of course, there is always that collective love, that 5th dimensional frequency, to tap into.
It doesn’t make all your problems go away, but perhaps changes the paradigm.
It can become challenges, rather than problems.
When you are in love, when you fall in love, there is a shift. You go from the mindset of your fears, to just being. Just being, and experiencing. Experiencing the present moment. Experiencing the present moment without contracting, without shrinking. You just are, and that you is in an expanded state.
Being in that place is so incredibly healing for your body, for your being. You start to vibrate differently.
That place of love, of being in love.
You don’t need it to be another person, although it can be all people.
It can be the love you have playing a musical instrument. Or when you are doing what you love, which can be gardening. Smelling the rich earth in your hands, and seeing the fruits of your labor. Being close to nature is like witnessing continuous miracles!
It can be teaching, it can be exploring, it can be healing. Perhaps you are a healer. It can be caring for someone you love, just the simple tasks.
When you are in the “sweet spot”, you are in the present moment, and your spirit is there, in you.
And that is such a healing place. For you, and also, for us all, for community. It keeps you from running a subconscious program of fear. When you exude that energy, it can amp up your fight or flight responses, and have you acting out of a conditioned response, of “me vs. them”, one that is not in integrity with who you are, in the present moment.
Who you are in the present moment, is a spirit in a body, with choice, and in community.
We are beings of love, and of light.
We are so much light, and so much love, and are powerful beyond belief.
But we forget.
We can’t experience all that, and yet come from that smaller self, of fear, of survival, of limiting beliefs.
That’s why I connect with my “true self” (a being of love, and of light, and infinite patience, and compassion) before I do the shamanic work I do in Compassionate Depossession, or in curse unraveling, or dealing with nasty beings or energy that is stuck in a state of rage, or pain, or revenge. Or just stuck in fear.
And it works.
There is NO WAY, that I could do the work that I do, without that tool.
I was taught to use that tool by Betsy Bergstrom, one of my shamanic teachers.
It is a tool that will help you in your life in ordinary reality as well.
It doesn’t mean that life won’t be filled with harsh things, or obstacles, or problems. You may wish to see them as challenges. Opportunities.
But, coming from that place, that place of love, of the present moment, just gives you so many options, of how to act, or what to do.
Plus, you will be right inside your body, mingled with spirit, coming from your wisdom, coming from ease, vibrating as that.
And that is a nice place to solve things. And that’s where you can ask for help, too. Remember, this is a place of community.

In a meditation, or in a journey, go to a beautiful place in nature, where you feel safe. Perhaps your favorite place, and imagine in front of you, an incredible being of light, just being there. Filled with love, and bursting with light. A being of never ending compassion, of grace. A powerful being, of such a high vibration. Loved, and loving.
This being is your true self. This is who you really are.
Notice everything about this glowing, light filled form, and feel your heart resonating now, and expanding. Feel the love that is there.
Allow it to expand even more, as you walk into, this being of light. Merge with
it fully, filling every cell of your being. Even the space in between your cells, are filling up, with this expansive energy.
Just be. Be that. Know it.
You are a being of love.
You are a being of light.
You cannot be harmed, by the energies of others.
And you can heal, just by being.
Just allow for the expansion, as you settle in. Breathe deeply. Just be.

It is now time to come back, to ordinary, waking reality, with this new sense of you.
Come fully back, into the room, and into your body, and take a few deep breaths.

I hope you enjoy, this new expansive sense of self, and you can call upon it any time you forget. Perhaps create a symbol of it for yourself, so that you can easily remember.
When you need to handle fearful things, or people, beings, or energies in your life, and you come from this place, of love, and gratitude, everything shifts, the universe helps you, and you have many more choices in your actions.
Coming from this place, when you are in your day to day life, can also change the world, just by you being, and exuding, your true self.
Enjoy your day, in gentle blessings, and grace.
I honor that place in you.

Helena

Last month I taught a class on Manifesting and Miracles; it’s a revolving class, and I wanted to share the meditation I do with them. It is also a powerful shamanic journey, but since there was a mixed group, it became a meditation. I usually do it before teaching the techniques of manifesting.
Please enjoy.

Be behind your eyes, in that room in the center of your head.
And breathe.

Now, sink down into your heart space. Feel that.

Settle inside, relax, and close your eyes.

Go to your favorite spot in nature, whether it is a forest, a stream, the desert, or standing on the beach of the ocean. Say hello to your concept of God/Goddess/Source, whether it is a being in human form, or a ball of light, etc. Whatever shows up is ok, it could be the God you remembered in grade school, or growing up.

Just notice, and feel, and sense, this energy, right out in front of you.

Remember a time in your life, where you became angry with God.
Perhaps you prayed for something, and it did not happen. Perhaps it was a parent, or friend, or relative that died.
Perhaps you had some traumatic event, which you felt you did not deserve. Perhaps you saw injustice in front of you, and you could not believe that God would do something like that. Or, not do anything.
Just let this anger come up.
Perhaps there is sadness, or grief, too.
Just be present, to what comes up.
And breathe.
Is this where you turned away?

Can you forgive? Is there an answer, to understanding why? Perhaps there is not. Just let the anger out, just be heard, and now, let it go.
Be heard. Say everything.

Ask this being, this Source energy, for a healing, now.
Clean out the pipes of communication.
Feel the part of you that is God/Goddess/Source energy.
Sense the oneness.
Bring your relationship with Source into present time.
Just breathe.
Take your time.
When you are ready, in this meditation, in your beautiful place in nature, take one step, then two, then three, and step into the place where you see source energy, and merge with Source.
What do you feel?
What do you see?
Bring your relationship with the Supreme Being into present time, now. You are a part of Source.
Perhaps you see an image of this present time relationship. Look at it very carefully.
Perhaps it is not an image, but a sound, or, just a sensation.
You are a part of this Source energy. This is your true self.
You are whole.
You are well.
You can create.
You can co-create,
with source.
Remember this feeling, and this image, or sensation, as we end this meditation now.

Experience again, your favorite place in nature, just breathe it all in.

Breathe, and feel your body, feel the chair you are sitting on, wiggle your toes, stretch a bit, say hello to that beautiful body of yours,
and when you are ready, be fully in the room, and open your eyes.

I just love what I felt, and what I saw as the students opened their eyes, and then looked at each other. The whole room seemed transformed, and exquisitely light. Luminous. Everyone’s eyes had that same light, and, almost, a bit of impish joy!
After stretching a bit, and telling their stories, we proceeded to creation tools.
What a blessings to watch them create, from that place. It is a place of right relationship, with yourself, and with Source.

If you liked this post, please share it, or give it a Facebook like below, thanks! Many gentle blessings on your day. You are a co creator with Source. Helena

You have the tools already
