Your Energetic Dashboard and Psychic Health

1/7/2019

This blog is about our boundaries, and sovereignty as intuitives, as kind people, as empaths, and also as professionals, for those in the healing and psychic professions. Even if you aren’t, these are tools you can use now to change your life, to give you sanity, space, freedom, and psychic health.

Good psychic health demands a level of self-honesty, and it requires that you look at how you are showing up in your world. Your personal physical boundaries and limits mirror your psychic ones. And your professional ones. What is in your energetic field, and why? Are you creating your reality from your own set of limits? Nothing outside of you will transmute the patterns inside of you. Change is an inside job, and it is a process.

For a moment, close your eyes, and imagine that you have a control panel in front of you, like a dashboard of a car. It can have a gauge for each chakra, it can have an energy level (like a gas tank) it can have a level for your havingness (how much you think you deserve), or for your protections, or how much you are giving your energy away to others (by healing them, or resisting them, or perhaps they are cording you). Imagine that you can have access to this dashboard, whenever you need. You can just look at it when you need, and make any necessary adjustments. This is an incredible spirit tool for your toolbox, and will give you the information to keep you healthy. It will also train you, as to your weak points, and bad habits, like taking on another’s pain.
It doesn’t help either of you to do that.

A person who is a psychic, or healer that takes on the other person’s pain and feels the need to “fix” them is known as a “sick psychic”. These people don’t have good boundaries, and it is best to stay at a distance. If you are not one, but feel too much, or “see” too much, this is for you.
So many of my friends, clients, colleagues are highly intuitive, and deeply care for others, for the planet. They are (we are) very sensitive. Highly sensitive. We want to help others, fix others, especially if we are healers, or parents, caregivers, etc. We feel the pain of others, even the pain of an animal, entire family, group or community. Sometimes, if you add to that mix being of an empath, intuitive, or clairsentient, it can make you codependent, it can take you out of your body, make you feel so much, that it’s just too much. It can make you want to fix the other, to stop the pain.
It could be that you were a very sensitive child, and felt all the emotions around you, in your family.
For many people, the use of your “Clairs”*, especially your feeling, or clairsentience, could have been the means your little body used to stay safe, to stay alive. Unfortunately, in many dysfunctional, or abusive, families, perhaps with parents who were alcohol or drug dependent, or mentally unstable, it was an extremely important tool to judge what was really happening, so you could make your choice in how to act, what to say, how to be.
Perhaps, having those boundaries (psychic feelers on full blast, being responsible for another’s emotional issues to make yourself safe was the best you could do at the time, with those tools. You needed to stay alive, you needed to be loved, and you had no other choice.
And, in so many ways, as humans, this is a healthy trait; caring for loved ones, staying safe, feeling your friend’s pain can make you a better friend, as to have more compassion, or be there for them.

Some aspect of it is creating healthy boundaries for yourself, both your energetic space, and also what you see and feel.
It could be not taking responsibility for other’s problems, or the things you sense.
I see this as a technical problem, like a plumbing problem, and I teach people how to turn down their lower chakra, when being clairvoyant, in my psychic skills classes.

A powerful thing to do, as you are just waking up, is to set the energy dials of your day.
Just like the volume dial on a radio. Slowly. It can be that simple.
Another way, can be to envision your chakra like the aperture of a camera, how it opens and closes. You can, with intention, slowly open, or close your chakra.
Be aware, that you have an internal dashboard, a control panel, where you can do this.

For many, it is to close down the body chakra, to disengage from another person’s ego game, or power struggle. To feel less, or to not be in survival mode, (that would be the first chakra). You may see your energy field and kick someone out, or put up better boundaries. You have you Angels and guides to help you calibrate your space, remember. Use your spirit tools.
For those who are psychic, or intuitive (I think we all are) it could be a nightmare if you had a constant stream of information coming in.
It could make you crazy, if you did not know about the control panel. And, seeing something, and being responsible for it, are two different things.

It makes me laugh when I think about an old TV show called the Ghost Whisperer, with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Her character was a clairsentient, an empath, and a psychic, a seer, whose life’s path was to help beings cross over to the light, who were stuck after they died.
It’s funny to me, because that is one of my paths as well, and yet, I have much better boundaries. I may see some things, but I also have the ability to turn it down, or turn it off, if need be.
I don’t think I have to help every suffering soul, or angry stuck being.
I certainty don’t stop everything, to help them, (driving fast in my SUV to relentlessly warn the parents, who never asked for my help, of a deceased child who needs assistance crossing over). In each episode of the show, she completes the task, of helping the being to the light, and handling everything, and usually, her business, her friends, and her life, suffer the consequences. She makes a great TV show, but she is known as a sick psychic, in that she has absolutely no emotional, or spiritual boundaries, and doesn’t know she has a control panel, and her sovereignty, to say no, to turn down her third eye, or to help others without being responsible for the world of the dead.

The ability to say no to healing others (healing meaning taking their stuff in, over-feeling other’s pain, being at the effect of other beings to the point where you are not being sovereign, where you are not in control, is having healthy boundaries.
Having those boundaries keeps you sane, and allows you to heal yourself. Actually, the process of using this dashboard tool can help both areas of your life. If you are co-dependent in your human relationships, you will tend to have lousy spirit boundaries too. As you heal one, you heal the other.
Having those boundaries allows you to heal yourself.
You heal yourself when you have healthy boundaries.
You are not the one responsible to fix other people’s problems, even if as a child, you did that, or in an unhealthy relationship, you did that.
Having and keeping Good boundaries is a healthy way to be in the world, and it is also a spiritual tool. Having healthy boundaries is a psychic tool. It allows you to choose how you wish to run the energy in your space, instead of being at the effect of others.
You can still have compassion, while saying no.
You can still love others, and not take on their stuff.
You can still be a good psychic, or healer, and turn it off at the end of the day, just the way you flip the “closed” sign on a store window.

Some of the psychics I know just see random crisis, events about to happen, or evil, when they are just living their lives, or, they may hear people’s thoughts. Some see crimes, before they are committed. I sometimes get a flash of an insight, or a picture. I acknowledge it, and then ask myself, or my guides, if that is my problem. If it is not, I move it out of my space, without putting my energy into it. Or, delegate it, to the supreme being, or the Angels, to help.
In no way am I responsible. I can actually turn down my Clairs, if the energy is too intense, if I am driving, or if it is just not my stuff, but a client in crisis, for example.

At the extreme, someone having a psychotic breakdown does that. They have no control over the dials in their energetic dashboard, and the switches are all on full blast.

You are not an extreme case, you just need to understand and use the tool of your control panel. Sometimes, grounding, and flushing out those Clairs* can release the foreign energy that could have climbed in.
If you are not managing that panel, someone else can be playing around with it.
Seriously.
It could be a client who wants you to feel sorry for her, and wants a longer reading. It could be a being without a body, which needs or wants your help (remember the Ghost Whisperer lady?)
Perhaps you are sensing something important, and you need to thank your clairs*, do what needs doing, and turn them down to what is comfortable for you at the time.
Your boundaries as a body, and in the physical world also translate into the spirit world, and those who are shamanic practitioners, psychics, or healers understand. Your healthy boundaries tolerate certain things, and experiences, both in the body, and on the astral plane.
Just as you have human boundaries, you have clear and healthy spirit boundaries. You always have your angels, your spirit helpers, and spirit guides to assist you, with protections, or as a gatekeeper (allowing only certain things into your field, certain energies, frequencies, etc. They also can safely help you with experiences to help you learn.

* Clairs are your natural ability to make sense of this world, besides your physical eyes and ears. They are your clairsentience, feeling, your gut feeling, your clairaudience, hearing, your clairvoyance, clear seeing, and Clair cognizance, clear knowing. You also have Clair persuasion. (I know my cat has that, Lol!)

Thank you for being you, with your big loving heart. We are all growing, learning, as light keepers for this beautiful planet of ours. Please give this article a "like", or share it with someone who may appreciate this energy tool. Gentle blessings, all.

Reclaiming your Joy and Power

12/3/2018

0 Comments

Who am I?
When did I stop singing?
When did I stop dancing?
When did I stop being enchanted by stories?
When did I stop being comfortable with silence...?
What is my relationship to the world?
What is my relationship to my body?
What is my relationship to my heart and soul?

These are questions a healer or shaman may ask you.
They are incredibly powerful questions. There may have been an event, a trauma, a huge slam of a wall that stopped your life force, your power, or your innocent joy. That simple joy of life that is taken for granted by most until you lose it.
Perhaps it was an event that shook you to your core; a violation of some sort, a horrible event, or accident.
It also could have been a slow choking internal death of your joy, by watching your parents go through a divorce, or being ignored in your infancy, or being told over and over that you were worthless, or not good enough. Competition can kill your joy, even if it is you in competition with yourself.
Sometimes, as a child, you are brimming over with that innocent joy, and boundless creative force, and then are told to shut the F$@k up.
Words can be like daggers, and the wounds can never heal, and fester in your space.

In getting a healing, a Soul Retreival session, perhaps doing some shadow work, or pulled up in meditation, or hypnotherapy, we can begin to unravel that place, that used to be singing and dancing, but got polluted, or lost its power, or, became hidden, because it was not safe anymore.
Sometimes it finds another place to live, in the dark places in you, your shadow side, where your unconscious can become a soup of untold wounds, festering into hatreds, and fears, and strange decicions about those hatreds and fears.
Shadow work can be enlightening, amazing, transforming, and extremely powerful. You will truly know yourself. Respect your shadow self, as it is a piece of you. There is so much to learn, and healing work can happen here, in terms of
When you stopped singing,
When you stopped dancing,
When you stopped being enchanted by stories,
when your innocent, creative, loving self, felt it needed to hide.

I wonder if we can remember, when we hid that part, or when we stood there, as someone screamed at us, and the creativity just crawled out of us, and went under the bed.
I recently did a soul retrieval for someone who was having trouble owning her artistic side, (as she wanted to devote much more time to being an artist, she just felt so blocked, and hindered).
We retrieved a part of her that was drawing on the wall as a child, making an incredible “masterpiece” of drawing her whole family. Her dad saw it, and boy did he yell at her! He destroyed it in front of her.
We also saw some past lives, where she was an artist, but her hand had gotten crushed. The dread, and trauma, and sadness, and regret still lingered in the present moment.
And one where she was an amazing craftswoman, of beadwork, and basketry. She and her partner had to leave their home in haste, as their whole village was destroyed by fire. Everything. Gone. Such loss.
It can seep into this lifetime as a “stop” energy, even if you had forgotten. Or a “I did something bad, and I don’t deserve this good thing.
Even childhood, even present time reasons for stopping your joy and life force can be brought to light, we can witness the pain, the trauma, or fear, and then create another storyline. There is much learning here, and perhaps reconciliation, an understanding.
That wisdom gleaned, can be the magic elixir that changes us.

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.
Proust –

Soul loss is the idea that parts of our soul or spirit break away during traumatic life experiences, leaving us less vital. In psychology this idea is known as dissociation, where a person may have no memory of the trauma or seem disassociated or overly detached from their current life.

Even after we discover the trauma, or the soul loss, or the decisions we made to hide our pain, or fear, we may need to forgive ourselves, or someone, so that we can begin again, so that we can start to sing, and dance. Forgiveness for all the time we spent not living fully, of not taking in that full inhalation of life. Perhaps forgiveness of the perpetrator, and perhaps that perpetrator is ourselves. We did the best that we could at the time, with what we had, and with what we knew.
Forgiveness helps us to move on, and live in the present. It is a gift you give to yourself.
And also, more lightheartedly,

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much ~ Oscar Wilde

Sometimes there are people to share this journey to joy with, and sometimes, you need to do it alone.
I am grateful to witness this re-membering with others when facilitating a soul retrieval, or healing work in a reading.
Being present to this journey is a blessing for us both.

This same powerful work, in a way, is what can happen in the work of compassionate depossession.
A spirit just like you, or I, but without a body of their own, who is hiding out in the energy field of another.
They may not be aware that they are there; they may have been there a long time. They may be very stuck, in pain, or in rage, or in trauma.
Sometimes, just saying hello to them, and getting them to tell you their story, is a huge healing for them, and can help them, to decide to take a next step.

Are you aware that you are in this woman’s body?
Are you aware that you are causing her great distress?
What happened to you, that got you stuck here?
Tell me your story.

Let me tell you this story, it happened last night. I called my mom yesterday (she is in her 90’s).
She likes to hear about the work I do, as a psychic, and as a healer, and as a Shamanic practitioner.
I am grateful for this, beyond words. Our conversations bring me such joy, and richness, and validation. Oh, to be heard and understood and accepted by my mom, in the work that I do! I cannot tell this to everyone, and that is ok.
In our conversation yesterday, I told her about the depossession and curse unraveling work I had just done the day before, and how, by speaking to the being directly, and hearing it’s story, and being a compassionate but firm witness. The truth coming out seemed to melt all that anger and rage, into a very lost, and hurt being, that didn’t know it had the sovereignty to release itself and move on with its life. When other members of its family (tribe) started showing up to help him to his next step, healing was already happening.
My mom asked, “Do you think that evil exists?”
Well, in many ways I do, I told her.
But sometimes, what seemed like something evil, was actually something very wounded, and very guarded, or, something trapped into being there, forgetting that it has a choice.
My mom then told me this story.
"I was a very good artist, when I was young. I did many drawings, and even cartoons. I used crayons to color, and I just loved it. It gave me such joy.
I even did a self-portrait, which was remarkable. It looked like a mirror image of myself, it was that good! I kept it on top of the refrigerator in the kitchen of our house. I was about 13 years old. One day, something dark, came into me, there, in the kitchen. It was evil. I took my precious drawing, and ripped it up. I handed it to the garbage man outside, as he was coming to pick up the trash.
But I was a very good artist!
There was something evil there, in the kitchen".

(Was it evil? Was it a being? Is it still in her, causing her pain? I could sense it was, and was still listening, even though I didn’t sense it as evil, just old, and lost. I suspect it came through her parents, but, then, that is a different story, for another blog post.
She really didn’t do any art after that. But I did.
I remember my first creative venture, it was making collages with my mom, at about 3 years old. She would draw a tree for us, and I would cut out pictures of animals, like squirrels, from a magazine, and she would help me paste them onto the tree. I loved it!
I spent much of my life being an artist. Her joy showed me the way. She gave me permission, where, perhaps she did not give herself that same permission.
Her joy was in her garden, in planting and enjoying flowers, and fish, turtles, and the wonderful statues, etc, that go along with a little enchanted garden.
She showed me the invisible fairies, and gnomes in the flower garden, and by the little pond and fountain in our yard, and by the brook that was nearby our house.
I spend time with the fairies, and gnomes to this day. I draw them; they bring me so much joy, to be near them. I even bought a home, which has a creek on the property. I go there every day, and it fills my heart to overflowing.
Also, I couldn’t have done it with out my Mom’s help.
So, she did not stop being creative, but she did stop drawing.
Did she create that aspect of her shadow side then and there?
Our conversation was so very healing.
And, she understood, that the “thing” in the kitchen, that felt evil, could perhaps be a suffering soul, that couldn’t have joy, and did not want her to have it.
And the thing in the kitchen, so very long ago, got a healing, from listening in to our conversation.
Just a start, but a powerful start. I think that “thing” lives in our family line, and cannot have, very much.
I think I will buy that guy some crayons, and some paper, for Christmas.
I will give him a hello.
And I will ask him,
Who are you?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop dancing?
When did you lose your joy?

You will have to stand someplace you’ve never been willing to stand before. Go to places you have deemed off limits. This is the time to take off the shell of your past and step into the rich possibilities of your future. ~Debbie Ford

Gentle blessings on your day, and enjoy the completion of this year! Here is a post and meditation to pull your energy out of last year, so you can have it in the present. Good to do for the new year!

Bring yourself the gift of your joy, into the present moment. You deserve it.

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.

Amusement as an energy tool

11/1/2018

The energy, and the psychic tool, of Amusement

Some is the best energies to run in
your space (wait, we have choice?!) are the lighter ones, like joy, appreciation, love, compassion, and of course, a oneness, with nature, with humanity, with the planet, and her spirit, and all things that grow, and thrive on it. Even appreciation for the cosmos, for the unknown, for things beyond our cognizance: the great mystery.
A very good energy to run is a sense of amusement.

It is a light energy, a space of appreciation, untangled from any fixed stance, except not heavy. Not stuck.
If you think of someone “not amused”, what do you think of? Someone who is at the receiving end of a joke at their expense? Being taken advantage of? A fear that someone is getting close to hitting a nerve on a held sacred, or programmed in, belief or value? I think sometimes, not being amused involves not feeling heard, or understood. Failure to shift, to lighten up, is taking a tough stance.

Amusement. It’s a Geiger counter of where we get stuck, where we are unbendable, where we are rigid, perhaps stuck, in our opinions.

Well, what do you do, until you can get there?
Yes, at some level, it is a choice, of how you wish to run your energy, to color your space.
You could choose to be in amusement, in a tough circumstance, for, let’s say, 3 minutes at a time.

I learned to work with the concept of choosing the type of energy I wish to run in my space at the Berkeley Psychic Institute 40 years ago, and I continue to use it every day. Another great use for having choice; immediate choice, is that sometimes energy climbs into your space that is not yours.
It’s true.
It can be as simple as the mood of the person next to us, as weird as the programming of the media, the television, or even the funky energy that was in the room already before you got there, (like a heated argument, fueled by years of resentment). It can be done unconsciously, or consciously. It can be a stuck entity who is in pain and fear, roaming the halls of the hospital that you are in, visiting a sick friend.
It can be a friend, or a client; your mother, or partner, or, some spirit that lives in your mother, your partner, your friend.
It can be the energy of the land that you are hiking in, or driving past.
That’s why I consider the magical elixir of amusement, to be an important tool in my toolbox.

For example, some heavy, centuries old religious energy sitting in your space, or, perhaps, your friend’s space. The energy just shows up in conversation, when a touchy dogma comes up.
It can feel like a punishment vibration, a “don’t you dare” space.
If that energy is sitting in your aura, or your consciousness, and you are not aware of it’s intrusion, you may deduce that it is your own thoughts, emotions or considerations.
Running a bit of amusement can easily kick out the offending energy. If it’s a being, it may kick it out as well. And finding your own space, well, that is priceless.
In life, as well as in my energy space, sometimes I play by the rules, and sometimes, I don’t.
Some dirty offensive jokes will definitely kick out the uptight, religious energy that jumped in my space!
Choosing to run some amusement energy, to become that, doesn’t mean that you make fun of people, or crack jokes (out loud) at other’s expense.
Amusement is a light way of looking at yourself, your problems, and the world. It is a healing to your body, it is a de-stressor.
Think of a stand up comic, who talks about a heavy subject matter. The audience releases stress that has been sitting in their space, and they can breathe a bit deeper, for a bit. It shows them where they are stuck.
And if you can’t get to amusement (in an ridiculous argument, for example), well, at least you are aware of the ridiculous-ness of the situation. You can take at least one, or possibly two giant steps up the emotional tone scale, to, let’s say,
Neutrality (Or, if you can’t get there yet, the possibility of neutrality).
Notice what starts to happen in your space. Energy flows a bit easier.
You are not taking it so damn seriously.
Which, is a good thing.
You may need to be in action, to get things done. That’s ok. You can create a lot easier from neutrality, or amusement, than you can from stuckness, from resentment, anger, or rage.
It tends to be better for the planet too.
It does not mean, to go into denial, not at all.
You may need to acknowledge what is, at the moment.
That can be some heavy, sticky stuff. Perhaps the rage of most of the planet, or, the intense pain and sadness you just experienced around you. You may need to say hello to your anger. You may need to be aware of the pain that sits just underneath that.

You may need to breathe through it, to give it a voice, to learn from that. It’s important.
And, with the power of that acknowledgement, knowing that you have choice, with your space, and how you wish to create it, you have the choice to change it.
Children are great at this. One minute they are calling their friend a poo-poo head, and crying, stomping their feet, and the next, they are playing together again, in the sandbox. Not as if it never happened, but yeah it did, and now, we’re doing this.
Amusement is the lubricant of the stuck energies in your space.

Neutrality is a crowbar.

These are great tools.

One last story;
and this comes from the years of the Brazilian martial art called Capoeira that I played. (You call it playing your opponent, not fighting. And, although its kicks can be deadly, much of the time, you score “points” by showing that you could have kicked them right there, in their weak place. You hold your foot just an inch from the bodily target, and show….”See?”
Anger, and resentment in that art will do you in. The game is over, if you lose your space to anger. You lose your cool. And your opponent knows it. The audience knows it. And, you know it.
So, you own it, and then move on.
I was shown by my teacher, that when your opponent gains a point, shows you your weak point, in public, that you do not just pretend it never happened. That’s denial, and it cuts the energy. Cuts the flow.
You stop. You acknowledge. Perhaps, you both walk around in the circle for a moment, shake hands, get your amused, neutral groove back, and play some more.

Amusement, not as displacement or avoidance to anger, pain, resentment, fear, etc, but as a conscious decision to be lighter, to operate from that place.

My natural float level on an emotional scale is neutral, happy, upbeat, positive, life affirming.
My meditation practice shows me what it is like to be fully in my space, my body, my energetic field. It doesn’t mean I don’t get angry, sad, fearful, etc, we all do. But, when I am at my center, I am pretty amused, neutral, positive.
And that means the energy is flowing.
You can be in amusement, and also be in your heart. Or, just be in your head. Your choice.
I remember opening the door of my room when I was a teen, and witnessing my toddler nephew, wearing just a diaper, running around in a circle holding the baby powder container upside down, shooting out a spray of it as he was running around in pure joy. He destroyed my room, the rug; it was a white out blizzard. His eyes, and his face, put me into a space of heart filled amusement that I will never forget.

I can also be in amusement, and in my head, in a reading, in an argument, or while protesting something important to me.
When something else comes in, I can clearly notice it. If confused, I can always ask myself, “Is this mine?”
Or, “whose depression is this?”
Or, “how much of this anger is mine?”
In that case, cutting a few energetic cords can help. Your anger is fine. It’s do-able. You can breathe into it, process it, gather some information from it, and choose your reaction, if any.
Perhaps you have no reaction, except to acknowledge it. Most likely, there is something there to teach you. You can release the energy, or use it.
You can decide to keep running it, or shift it to something else, like neutrality, or amusement.
It’s a choosing, not a forcing, although it’s ok sometimes to “fake it till you make it”.

If I am doing a reading, and that person has a nasty, threatening energy sitting in their space, looking at me, I don’t have to match that vibration. I can just as easily see it wearing a pink bunny costume, or dancing to the tune of “YMCA”. It helps me to see all sides of this energy, from a few perspectives. Where did this energy get so stuck?
Conversely, I may have to see myself in that bunny outfit sometimes, complete with fluffy tail, and teeth. The ability to laugh at oneself, is worth more than gold, and keeps your space, flowing, true, and accessible. It helps you to be more wiggly, with your belief systems, and not so stuck. And it’s your stuckness that usually does you in.

What I have experienced about amusement, is if I choose to run that energy through my space, my readings, and the shamanic healing work I do is more powerful, and that the most powerful work takes place when there is ease, and when there is space for it. That’s also when the miracles happen. Don’t take life, (or death) so seriously. It’s not permanent. Be amused, love fiercely, and speak your truth, because this all ends. And, you can take your spirit tools with you, when you go.
Gentle blessings, and here's to diving deep, but staying light,
Helena

Embodied sovereignty

10/10/2018

0 Comments

Being sovereign. Sovereignty is your divine right, and it is universal law. It is your freedom, in the here and now, your authorship, your autonomy, your power.
Self-governance.
Your spiritual sovereignty is your ticket to freedom, whether it means removing the stigma of imposed religions (like being born with original sin, for example, or of having an attached entity, because of your family of origin).
It means declaring your freedom from old, outdated contracts and agreements, and your inherent power to do so. This can mean from a cult, from a cultures belief system, and genetic programming. It can be from the hysteria and fear of the media, or simply from giving your power away.
It can have to do with our bodies. Being in a state of sovereignty, means coming from our grounded center, and owning our space. Having choice, as to which emotion, or thoughts to have, or, even simpler, the right to be in our bodies fully. Being the only one who inhabits our space, our center of head, and our energetic field. It is our divine right.
Being aware of that, puts us in a state of calm, of a focused, yet relaxed awareness. This is the brains limbic state of safe, of rest/digest (vs. fight/flight/freeze/collapse. Our bodies function much better this way, and heal themselves. And if we are alerted to danger, and need to be in fight or flight mode, a place of calm power, choice, and access to resources is the place we want to come from.
It is a clear connection to your higher self; it is your right to control your space, and who gets in. It is your right to let go of old past traumas, agreements, contracts and cords. Of old spirit guides, or attachments that either don’t serve us anymore, or were never our intention.
Owning it like a boss.
That could mean todays political climate, or the media, or perhaps gender based, or spiritual programming, or it could mean demanding the clearing of lower vibrational entities that have been living in your space, feeding off of you quietly (or not so quietly) for years.

Our embodied sovereignty, what does it look like? There is no need to be fearful, defensive, or reactive, when we own our crown. We are self referencing. We are whole, and coherent, even in our imperfections. We can own, and access our mind, our heart, our genitals, our bodies. We naturally have a healthy attachment to our community, as this is our birthright also. We, in our sovereign state have access to resources, to others, because we are a part of that hive mind as well. This is important, because it still means we have our autonomy, and come from our own self governance, and yet, part of our health as humans involves inclusiveness.
Just as part of the space of love, is allowing yourself to be loved, part of owning your own space, involves seeing others as whole, as divine light, and as sovereign and complete.
And, while this may all sound rather heady, it is the basis of the work I do, which is spiritual.
When I give someone a Spirit to Spirit hello, (or acknowledgement), I see them in their sovereignty. That is a powerful space, and sometimes, it is that hello, which unlocks their own power to heal themselves. I was taught, in my psychic studies, “Heal the spirit, and spirit will heal the body”.
Spirit can also heal the spirit.
That Hello, can help someone when I’m doing an entity releasement, (removing a being, or assisting them, in finding their proper dwelling). You are a sovereign being.
This is so powerful to witness, as a spirit realizes this freedom, this choice, and uses it to exorcize themselves, like a crowbar, from something, that has not worked for them for a very, very, long time.
It can be an old contract, like a vow of poverty, or a guilt picture in their space that keeps them vibrating at a much lower vibration, than their bodies want. It can be like not getting enough oxygen with each breath, and then realizing that you can change that. You have choice.
In the work I do with compassionate depossession, and spirit release, the stuck being may need to hear that hello. A reminder that they have their own sovereignty, and they can leave, and get on with their own evolution is germane in this healing process. Some spirits are stuck, literally bound, by agreement. They may be in your space, bothering you, without being aware that they have other choices.
And here you are in effort, trying to release these energies from your space, thinking that they are out to get you!
What a strange, and fascinating paradigm shift.
For some people, the loss of them truly owning their space involves past time, and even past life constraints. Are we as humans really slaves on this planet from other life forms (like the Annunaki, and other control beings) or, can we demand our freedom, and declare autonomy from those old, life force sucking, outdated scripts.
Yes, it does sound like a science fiction movie, sometimes! But here we are, in these beautiful human bodies, entering a new space of light love, and interconnectedness, in the emerging 5th dimension. It’s time to declare ourselves free, and in the present time.
The first step in freeing ourselves, and becoming autonomous beings, connected to our higher selves, and each other, is to get into our bodies, and own them, love them, and lovingly protect them. It’s ok to ask for help, but remember who is boss.
There are many tools to use to own your space, and many declarations to address the completing of old contracts, agreements, and attachments. You will feel very different after doing them and it is advised to step up your vibration, and your protections, afterwards. Let them become a daily discipline that you work into your energy hygiene.
Speaking, living, choosing, loving, being a human in a space of embodied sovereignty is, after all, your birthright. It is the difference of living fully, and consciously, with choice, connected with source, and in present time, or, of living in the past, with other people’s limits, and choices. We may not even be aware of the extent of our possibilities.
Your sovereign seat is awaiting you.
Practice makes perfect.
I will include here a few declarations you can use, but there are many. You can devise one of your own, as well.
With much love,
gentle blessings, and a
Spirit to Spirit Hello!

This declaration is from Scott Maurer.
DECLARATION OF SOVEREIGNTY

With All of my intention, I hereby declare my Sovereignty and I foreclose, nullify and cancel All contracts and All agreements with All Entities throughout All of My Lives, in All Dimensions and in All Timelines. It is done. So mote it be. In this moment, the I that I Am, agrees to interact only with the most benevolent, service-to-others Entities within the MultiVerse. This declaration carries My energy signature as my binding stamp. [To use this declaration for your own purposes, you must retype the declaration accompanied by your own intention and signed with your own energy stamp]

You can create an affirmation, or declaration of your own to use. You can physically write it on paper, like a contract, and sign, and date it. You can ask your guides, helping spirits, or Angels to assist you, in your daily meditation/clearing practice. Remember to rest, and care for your body, as it adjusts to it's higher vibrational state, and be persistent. Also, remember to ask your Akashic record keeper to update your files. It helps to speak the declarations out loud, if you are writing your own.

word is law in your universe. Use it.

Bringing integrity into present time

9/6/2018

4 Comments

What does it mean to you to be coming from a place of integrity?
The dictionary defines it as “being honest, having strong moral principals, being kind. Doing the right thing.
I think that is wonderful, and good. But, we are really, just cruising along in life, going by what we were taught, and by what we know (or, at least, what we think we know).
Sometimes, those things change. Our beliefs change. Our values do. We become different people. I think the more our spirit comes back to nestle in our bodies, and, the more light we have inside us, help to change what we consider to be the right thing, at the right time.
Integrity.
Is it what you say? Is it what you do? Is it what you think?
Can you close your eyes, and remember when you changed direction, when your integrity caught up with you? Either it was something you were about to say to someone, or a decision, based on a belief that perhaps you suspect is untrue?
Or, perhaps it was true for you at the time, but it changed.
Life gives you plenty of opportunities to bring your integrity into present time.
Changing that status, is never wasted time.

I study, and teach Ascension, which looks at the light of the Supreme Being as rays of light. They are separated, like a rainbow, into 7 basic ones. They do correspond with, and feed into, the chakra system, but they are much more. They are ways of being, and they are like a ladder, of bringing more light into your space, and growing, and evolving.
Our job here is to grow, evolve, lighten up, and work our Karma until past the “tipping point”. Think of the scales, in Egyptian mythology. One's heart was kept within the body during mummification so that it can travel with the deceased into the afterlife. Upon death, one entered the underworld (Duat), where Anubis, the God of the dead, weighed the persons heart on a scale against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of order, truth, and righteousness.
Back to the study of the 7 Ascension Rays. The first three rays are the embodiment of Love, Wisdom, and Power.
Power is the first Ray. It is Blue in color, and correlates to your 5th Chakra, your throat. The teachers here are Master El Morya, and Archangel Michael, and Archaia Faith.

What comes out of your mouth is your power. This is why your integrity, in word, and in action, is so important. You create with this energy of power, and it is contained within you.

The old word we may remember as a child, playing magician, is,
“ABRACADABRA”.
This is actually taken from old Aramaic (the language that Jesus spoke). It is “Abraq Ad Habra”. It means, “As I speak, so shall I create”.

And, being in integrity, and in right relationship, is a power you can rely on. You are in your power.
Yes, it is true. And, many times, once we speak, we cannot take it back; the milk has been spilled.
Keeping your word. Owning your mistakes. Speaking your truth.
Speaking that truth, even if your voice shakes.
This Ray also has to do with will, as in your will to create.
An important part of this, is “my will vs. Thy will”.
Those who believe in a higher power will attest to this.
Those who simply believe in source, will too.

The universe has its will also!
It is good to let go of the reigns sometimes.

Your will may usually have to do with your ego, and be in a place of effort sometimes.
But your integrity is not in that place. Your belief file folder in your mind, may want you to think that. But you and I know, that our beliefs change. Of course, the basic ones of don’t hurt others, and be honest, and be kind, never do. I think that as we grow, and evolve, the place of our integrity does, too.
Being true to our word. Not gossiping, or slandering.
Being kind to ourselves. Speaking kindly to ourselves.
Being honest, yet being kind.
Catching yourself on the snags of ego. Perhaps not saying anything, until you have something of value to say. Not telling lies.

Doing the right thing. Being accountable for what you do, what you didn't do, and for the mistakes you have made. Even with children, animals, the earth.
Many times, I need to check in with myself here, and ask myself,
“What is the right thing here?”
Perhaps it is doing the right thing, with the information that you have.
Perhaps tomorrow, the right thing will be a bit different.
Integrity is being accountable, for the thing you didn’t do, or what you did not say. You held back, and it changed everything.
And oh, how we need to forgive ourselves daily! I think, once we can do that, it will be easier to forgive others, who were speaking from unconsciousness, badmouthing others, lying, because it is easier.
Pissing their power away (excuse my French, but it works in this instance).

The words you speak become the house you live in.
Your words have so much power!
you use your words to bless, and to curse, both others, and yourself.

Maybe a good definition of integrity, is
“Doing your best with what you know at the time, and listening to your inner wisdom”.
And, forgiving yourself, for what you did not know, and trying to be better the next day.
And the next.
And the next.
Have you ever said to someone, “I’m sorry, I said this thing to you, but I didn’t know the truth”.
Has anyone ever said that to you?
Speaking your truth has so much power. It fills your space. It makes you strong, and resilient.
Trustworthy. Courageous. Powerful.
And, to go up the ladder of the Ascension Rays, you need the basics, of love, wisdom, and power.
This is the key that gets you in the door.

Gentle blessings on your day, of strength, power, and the right use of will.

Psychic protections, sovereignty, and the chakras

8/1/2018

2 Comments

There are many things you can use as energetic protection, for your space.
Basics include the use of white light, as a deflector, or golden light, or, electric blue light. You can use mirrors for deflection, like a disco mirror ball, on the outside edge of your aura. Violet flame is a powerful tool also, and should be in your spirit toolbox. If you use it, it will transform, and burn up the heavier energies around you, into love. It is a high vibration, and very good for karma releasing. Certain stones are protective, and also is white sage, Palo Santo, and Frankincense. Keeping your space light, and happy, and neutral, is powerful. It's a deterrent, and protective, and also, part of a good, energetic immune system.

An important part of the world of protecting yourself, is taking a look at the semantics of the words “protection, vs. safety”. The use of the word protection implies that you are weak, and need to be protected from something. It keeps you in a state of defense. It is a state of contained powerlessness. You are always wary, and rechecking your fortress.
The word safety implies a state of being. You are safe. You are ok, you are enough. A state of freedom, it is a pure vibration, a place of empowerment, of expansiveness.
Now, the universe doesn’t care about words. It cares about the feelings. How you vibrate. The feeling of safety, vs. the feeling of protection.
Empowered, vs guarded.
To be in a frequency so high, that it does not include the frequency of danger. To be that. It is like turning your radio dial to that frequency. Many things will raise your frequency, and vibration.
More light, more love, more joy, more gratitude, more compassion. More fun!

Being in a state of sovereignty, and being whole, as opposed to a state of fear, or, a state of guarding your space.

Be radiant! Be grand! Raise your vibration, raise your focus, and even raise the level of what chakra you are coming from.
What I mean by that is which lens are you experiencing the world from?
Which lens are you operating from?
Which lens are you experiencing the energies getting into your space from?

If you are afraid for your life, afraid you may be attacked, you are coming from a place of fear. Or dread. That’s a pretty low vibration. You are exuding that energy, and your first chakra, of fear, and survival, is probably wide open, trying to help you by giving you survival information, and exuding fight or flight hormones.
Even if you were to get angry at it, (the invading energies), and shout your demands that it leave your space, you have, at least, upped your space from the vibration of fear, and you may feel better.
But, it is still, a lower chakra, which involves the body, and involves ego, and judgment, and of course, effort.
In terms of boundaries, good, energetic boundaries, perhaps even physical boundaries, there is nothing like running your anger energy. You can own it, and allow it to course through your veins like hot lava, burning up anything in its path. You can just sit there, in your energy meditation, and run anger energy through your space, chakras, aura, everything, and just kick everything out which isn’t you. You don’t need to aim it at the humans in the room, or, in fact, aim it at anyone. You can just run your anger, like a type of energy, like fire, consuming everything in its path. It can be quite refreshing! Remember your grounding cord, though, it is helpful here, and can release foreign energy.
This is your energy, and you can use it, as a powerful purging tool!
Think of how a mama bear will protect her cubs, from an invader.
Think of how you would spring into action, if someone were to try and take your purse from your grocery cart, or take something important from you. You can do the same with beings, or with energy hanging about.
One of my psychic teachers told me that upon awakening, she checks the state of cleanliness in the room in the center of her head (her 6th chakra, where she keeps her awareness). She leaps into action if she sees a lingering being, and jumps right into his space! “Who are you, and what the f$#k do you want!! THIS IS MY SPACE! Get the F$#k out!!
And, in many ways, this can work! It is your space. No one is going to clean it for you.
But, in the case of an angry entity, filled with rage, it can just start a nasty war in you.
Ok, so let’s slide up a notch.

When you go into the heart space, though, which has a high electromagnetic vibration (this creates your energy field) you are leaving the space of the ego behind.
As you go up the energetic scale, and into the heart, for example, you may see it as coming from a place of loving, and caring for yourself, by having good, healthy boundaries. You may have compassion for the other energy. Perhaps it came from a person that was in such inner pain, that he lashed out at you from his own non-trust and guardedness. You may be in a safe state by knowing how when you are in a state of love, (which is your pure essence, your True Self), that you cannot be wounded.
When you are in a state of pure love, when you are embodying that True Self, you are so powerful, and you just are. You are exuding, and radiating that light, as it moves through you. You are a healing force simply by being.
Be that for a moment or so. Use your breath, to move the energies through, and around you, like a recirculating fountain, or like a torus loop. It showers all through your space, and you pull it back up again, expanding through all your bodies; the mental, etheric, emotional, as well as the physical.
Being this energy is a form of protection. It is sovereignty at it’s finest.
From this space, this space of radiance, this space of radiating your divine essence you may see the energy you need protection from in another light completely.
And you are not in a space of defense.
Nor are you in a space of offense.
You have just reconnected with your true self.
Just feel that for a moment, before we move on.

So we are talking about protections, psychic protections, which may mean energetic protections. It could be from another human being, it could be from a being, which was human, and it could be from a source, which never was human. It could be as intense as a nasty entity set out to harm or cause trauma, or as simple as a person at the grocery store who inadvertently jumped into the center of your head, to have a psychic conversation with you.
Or, perhaps he corded you energetically, which feels like, and is, a drain on your energy, or caused you to become unconscious, perhaps to the point of leaving your body. A good psychic whack can easily kick you out of the body, but so can someone jumping into your space, even if they did not mean harm. Maybe they were just fixated on you, or they could just have lousy boundaries, or perhaps wanted you to heal them, fix them, take away their pain.
You may need to protect yourself from the energies of a space, like a room that has a lot of energetic debris, perhaps a hospital, or a prison, or simply a place where a depressed person, or toxic or very negative person resides. Having to go to a job everyday in a soup of that vibration can make you feel sick.
So if you cannot match the vibration, and get into your 6th chakra, in the center of you head, you can start by noticing what is.

Not feeling everything, for that is a first and second chakra trait. Just look, and notice. It is like taking a step back, and having some space between you, and it.
It’s a bit of a computer mode, void of feeling, although you can notice your feelings, and sensations, without going into them.

So you are not leaving your body, but coming back in and behind your eyes. You are grounded, deep into the earth, and well rooted. That makes your body feel safe. And, what a good, fat, grounding cord does so well, is release. So you are starting to release, letting go of energies like excess fear, or anger. Maybe yours, or maybe someone else’s.
So, for example, you forgot to put up protections as you left the car to go into the small empty office room where you need to work, and you notice an intense angry energy in there. You connect with your body; you notice how your body feels without jumping into the feelings. (Wow, it seemed very dense, even darker, when I walked in here, like the ceiling was a lot lower. My stomach felt knotted. My throat felt blocked. It felt like dread). Wow. Hello energy. I am aware of you.
You are not my energy. You are not my anger.
I am not going to match you.
I am not going to become this vibration.
I am feeling rather amused and neutral.
I would rather vibrate like that.
I will be my gold filled, radiant self, and make a grounding cord for the entire room, while I am here.
You may, if you wish, ask a helper, like a guide, or angel help to clear the air, and put up any type of protection around your aura of your choosing, such as a cocoon of white light.
What I want you to do is notice, and not match it.
Stay present, and continue being your light filled self.
You are now operating from your 6th chakra, which is a neutral place. You may see the energies as a swirling color, or see the face of the person whose energy it is, but for now giving a hello from that space is enough.
Now, you can start to use your crown chakra, which has a sense of knowingness, and a sense of sovereignty, of seniority about it.
In using these upper chakras, you can decide what energy that you wish to use, that you wish to run your space from.
Besides connecting with the divine cosmic energies, The 7th chakra really is about ownership of your space, which is your body, but also your energetic field. You get to choose.
Your 7th chakra is about certainty, and knowingness. It is the opposite of confusion.
We call it "owning our crown"
And that is wonderful. That is where the magic happens.
So, what type of energy do you want to have, while everyone around you is at depression. Or fear, or hate. This is where you own your crown. You may choose to be at loving heart, or amusement, or at curiosity, while the rest of the room vibrates at hate and revenge. You do not have to match the energy of an entity, or of the room, or of the stuff trying to climb in.
You can choose to be safe, by owning your space. You can choose to be safe, by being that feeling, that sense of safety. Being it.

If certain energies seem to be attacking, or bothering, or penetrating your space, your aura, a chakra, or just inside your energetic field, you may want to take a closer look, and work on those energies. Perhaps you are attracting them. It could be karma with that person, or being, it could be cords of energy attached to you (or you to it). It could be that you have a picture that lives in your space, like a belief, with lots, and lots of energy on it. That energy can be superglue to the energies coming at you. Like strong guilt, or an incendiary “bring it on, let’s fight” picture. Maybe in you is a picture, that “I am so vulnerable, I can be attacked at any moment”.
How about the “I am a healer, give me your pain, I can fix you.”
Or, “I feel so guilty. I don’t deserve to be protected from this.”
Becoming aware of, and then neutral to a picture that it gets in on, can stop constant energetic harassment, or, just people getting in your head.
You may need to find the Velcro picture in your space, or your subconscious, and work on it, drain it of energy, neutralize it.

Let’s also realize that everything we continually deal with in this arena can show us a bit about ourselves. Where you continually get whacked, or let others into our space, or, where we lose our neutrality.
Or, where we allow in other beings into our space. Where we are weak. Where we choose a lower vibration, and where we allow ourselves to go unconscious.
You may need to do your homework, and do some shadow work on yourself. Going into your subconscious mind and finding those suppressed parts of you, that have a lot to teach you about yourself. Not a place to be fearful, as this is a part of you, that you rarely give voice to.

This is how we learn. Remember, that, everything is here to help you.
I have learned, through the lessons of protection myself, and of being safe, that I don’t need to hide my light. That it’s ok to shine. I have learned that it’s ok to ask for help. I have also learned to allow others to have their anger. Or their projections. I don’t need to heal everyone, or make it all right. I have learned that it’s ok to be angry, and to have boundaries, and to say no. I have learned that not everyone will like me. and not to take that personally. And that I AM, much greater, and stronger, and wiser, than I think I am.
So, remember to do your shadow work, to find out all the parts of you. You will be wiser for it, stronger (or, softer) for it.

Compassionate Depossession, and Spirit Release

6/13/2018

0 Comments

Scene from "Spirited away", studio Ghibli, Myazaki

We are like portals, or channels for divine light to pass through. As we work on ourselves, and get clearer, more light shines through. I see many young children in that way; their purity, and openness to life is crystal clear, and they are full of light. We sometimes bring our past energy, karma, and considerations with us into this world, and also, this life, and our experiences can start to mold us, in terms of how much, and where we let in that light. Our mind may protect our sanity by covering trauma with scar tissue, which lessons the pain, but lets in no light. Or, we may splinter off pieces of ourselves, our light, to hide and protect it, because it does not seem safe here. Those pieces may not come back. Or, you may forget about them.

Think of it as a screen, as in a window screen. The life force passes through you, and if there are any blocked holes, any closed off places, or resistant places, or stuck places, the divine light will not pass.
After a while, there will be a definite pattern forming; almost the silhouette of something. There is a pattern, of where you will not allow flow. Perhaps you are not ready to shine light there, are afraid to, or even quite unconscious to it.
You may be drawn to others with a similar pattern of light and dark. Other entities, beings, even thought forms, or attachments may be also.
Neutrality helps the flow. Running your light through those stuck places helps. Being aware of what is you, and validating that.

Compassionate depossession, or spirit releasement is one of the healing modalities that I do. Many people are aware of some of the symptoms of it, but the names are foreign to them. They may have feelings of depression, sadness, incessant self-trashing thoughts, intense anger, sexual arousal, or confusion that does not feel like their own, or that has not had any relief from traditional therapies or healing.
It can also be a physical illness that came on out of nowhere, that doesn’t respond to traditional therapies, from headaches, to back pain to kidney infections.
Some people seem to have never ending drama happening in their lives, or long streaks of bad luck. Sometimes there is a “funky” energy around the person, which makes people avoid or stay away from them.
There are others who hear thoughts in their head that are destructive, or demeaning, or apathetic. After a while, people start to believe that this is their own consciousness. Obviously, sharing your space with another entity can be destructive, painful, and exhausting.
It is exhausting because it needs your life force, to stay in your space. Usually, by the time you seek energetic help, you have been in that situation for a while.

The term “compassionate depossession” comes from the spiritist tradition in Brasil. (Allen Kardec (1804-1869), is the pen name of the French educator, translator and author Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail. He is the author of the five books known as the Spiritist Codification, and is the founder of Spiritism).
In other areas it can be known as spirit release, (England) or as spirit removal.

Dr William Baldwin wrote a book in 1995 called, "Spirit Release Therapy", which is the basis for many other works, books, and is an excellent primer on this work. Also, there are differences between an attachment, a possession, and an obsession. There could be some energies, like thought forms, that may need an extraction, a process of removal (done by a guide or helper) and given to an element, such as water, or earth, for release, assimilation, and transmutation.
A shamanic practice known as a”Soul Retrieval” can greatly help. Sometimes it is done before a releasement, sometimes after.
There can also be Soul agreements, or contracts, between spirits, which may make the work difficult, and they can be released, brought into present time, or destroyed. We have free will.

We are free beings. We have the right to choose. That is law in the universe.
Our ability to be cognizant of our sovereignty, even to declare it, is a good protection from evil, and from some of the darker energies that are around us. Control, binding, and slavery are some of the energies of evil. It is an energy on this planet. Even some of the entities caught up in the game of control, and evil, have the ability of declaring their own sovereignty.
One of the things to remember, also, is that you can say hello to, and acknowledge that sovereign spirit that lives in another. Your friend, or the person you are talking to. You can do that from your own space of being sovereign.

In my work I use both terms, Compassionate Depossession, and also Spirit Release. There are times that a releasement is necessary; it may not be aware that it is in another’s body, it may not be human, but an elemental (a basic force of the earth, with a consciousness, like the spirit of a tree, or the spirit of the land).
A depossession may sound frightful to some people, and bring up images of Catholic exorcisms. Well, there are cases where the invading energy is malefic, is there consciously, to cause pain, and destruction, and sometimes it can present itself as dramatic.
The word exorcism can be used, although it reminds us of the Catholic rituals, and of course, the movie. While it can be quite intense, not many people use that phrase, although Wanda Practnika, a powerful Polish practitioner, does. She has also explained her views on the Catholic religion, and its knowledge of, and the history of, it’s use of exorcisms. (At some point, they were not allowed in the church. Then they were, but the priests had nothing to go by. They had to, well, just wing it. In present time, it is used, and allowed, but under strict guidelines.
In the bible, Jesus performed exorcisms. Many other religions have their own versions; Muslims, Jewish. There are writings in the Koran, and in the Kabbalah. Most indigenous cultures have their versions, and their ritual ceremonies. This has been going on for thousands of years. It seems, as humans, we need this practice. It could be a part of our nature.

Through my trainings, with teachers like Betsy Bergstrom, I have learned to use the words compassionate depossession, because it is just that.
In a powerful, contained, protected, sacred space, the practitioner allows the help of guides, and psychopomps (beings whose job it is to help those cross over, go to the light, or into the earth, or finally home, or to their next step. It means guide, or conductor of souls). This is done in a heart centered space, from ones true self, which is, a powerful being of love, and light. You can see the light in the other, and with respect, speak with it, urge out the story of why, and how, to help this "suffering soul", and create an opening for them to move on, and complete.
It is a win-win. It helps the planet as a whole.
This is the work that I do.
I began this lifelong journey of helping others find relief, and wholeness, though, by reading the works of William Baldwin, Dr. Edith Fiore, and Louise Ireland Frey, who use the phrase spirit release, or "spirit release therapy" (coined by William Baldwin).
There is also the phrase “entity removal”, which is true, in terms of what is happening, but for me sounds a bit like a truck that comes to your house, like a Roto-Rooter, with long, vacuum hoses!
A bit of amusement here, because this work can get a bit dense. Always know that you do not need to match the vibration of what is happening, to be of help. It is also a good means of protection, and of clarity, to have some levity. I learned this wonderful tool from all my years at the Berkeley Psychic Institute, to which I am grateful.
There are times that an entity has come into a person’s energy field because of a curse, or a very strong psychic whack. Perhaps this has come down the family line. There are ancestral curses that have been intact for many generations. Sometimes, an entity comes in because of the person’s interest, or participation in occult activities, like Ouija boards, mediumship meetings, or séances. There are attached gurus (not nice beings, full of love and teachings, but control beings, in a religious guise).
Drug use and abuse, alcohol use and abuse, even spending time near people who have a lot of entities in their field, can lead to an attachment. Some people (couples, groups, families) can share a being, or a group of them.
There are some people who are genetically predisposed to allowing another being to enter, and cohabit their space. It can be a family trait. It can be a family being. I see this quite a bit as a psychic.
I also see people who don’t seem to be bothered with them much at all. They live quite comfortable, and happy, in the temple that is their body, with not much drama at all. I see people who have clean chakras, and spaces, who seem to radiate light. They are a beautiful sight to behold, and you can more easily radiate, while in their company. I am happy to say, that I have many friends like this.

It is also true that entities, and humans who have died, but not yet crossed over, can be attracted to people who have a lot of light in their space. Beautiful, clear, clean, sparkly, light infused, loving people are targeted like a moth to a flame. Indeed, it can be mesmerizing, and attractive to something stuck for so long in a grey world, where everything stays the same.
At some point beings that have not gone to the light need an energy source. You may just be that source.
I hope I am informing, and not scaring you at this point. I want to paint a picture for you of how, or why these things happen. They happen to most of us, and to the best of us, at some point. You don’t need to be a bad person, or a weak person, for a being to jump in your field.
But this is why it is so important to have good energy hygiene, not just to meditate, but to clean your energetic field, daily, and also to pull your energy back from wherever you have left it. It is also why you want to stay grounded, and to truly live in your body, to inhabit it. You may need help, with a soul retrieval, a healing where our life force, your soul parts are brought back to you, if you have splintered off at some point, because of trauma, abuse, loss, illness, or sometimes shock.
It’s excellent to be steadfast and clean, and clear your energy field. It’s tantamount to use your psychic protections daily. It’s also ok to ask for help.
Soul loss can be the main event that weakened your field in the first place.

It can also be that you were weak; perhaps an illness, or simply that you had surgery, where you were under anesthesia, and were out of your body for a time. There are so many beings floating around hospitals. You could go in for a tonsillectomy, and come out with much more.
They can be lost, or sad, or in a state of rage. They can have the emotional age of a 3 year old. Or, not be human, but from another dimension. Or put here by the controls of another. Or, simply just lost.

It does seem that it is a part of human nature, though, to have this weakness. For some, the ability may be strength; for protection, as an example. For others, a predisposition, to allow others to co-habitate this body, and, as such, this one precious life. No one needs to suffer, though. There are tools, and there is help.
Knowing yourself is the first step. Be aware of your energetic field, and know what it feels like to be just you, in your space. Keep your light strong, and protections up. Using guides, like Archangel Michael, or your own powerful angels, or guides. Getting regular healings, and tuneups.
Asking for help is a precious tool that we all have.
And knowing, that you are not alone in this, especially if you are human.

If you are wondering what is going on, or are interested in a Soul Retrieval, or a spirit releasement, or just want to know more, here are a couple of blogs, and also a couple of simply explained Youtube videos. (I love the use of the dry erase board!) The second video is quite informative, although does not go into the compassionate aspects of the work, nor does it give you tools to help you. So please stay tuned! I have been writing quite a bit on the subject, and will post more. Please do get a reading from me, if you wish to look at something in more detail.
Blessings, of light, love,
infinite compassion, and amusement,
Helena

Transfiguration, the art of moving form into radiance

5/7/2018

Transfiguration, the art of moving form into radiance.

(and, of being that radiance).
Hello.
I was dreaming last night and got a wonderful message on how to do an Angel Healing.
It was to #1: Call in the angel that you wish to work with
#2: Ask, and allow the angel to merge with every cell (either with you, the healee, or, the place)
#3 Allow the angels to lift up the vibration, of every cell. More light. Expansive. Transforming.
#4 Ask to go into all the dense places
#5 Ask to seal, and close, the aura, and energetic field.

How wonderful! It was Archangel Jophiel, who offered it. There are many ways of asking for healing, from an angel or guide. Like prayer, or like an intentional request. It is intention that is so important, so clarifying.
In the Ascension work that I teach, and that I do, we work with many healing masters, guides and Angels. Their energy is so bright, so expansive, that you cannot help but be affected in a beneficial way.
We also use the energy of the Violet Ray, the transmuting flame in the same way. We may speak a fiat, or short prayer, aloud, because of the power of your own voice, in declaring, in calling into being.
In shamanism, in Sandra Ingerman’s teachings, you can sense the light and expand it into your own being, to become light. Or, to recognize, that you are light, expanded light. By becoming light, which is our true form, and seeing another, as their true form of expansive light, amazing healing, and transformation can occur.
Becoming that light, that radiance, is transfiguration.
It is an amazing healing.
It starts from the heart, the higher heart, and radiates outward. I see it as a loop of energy, like a torus loop, around me. When seeing another in their light, it always looks like a loop of energy.
For you, it may look different.
This light feels amazing, and very protective, and quite expansive.
In using the Violet Flame, it feels quite healing, and transformative, as if heavy, dense energies are being burned up in its flames. There is a reaction going on, a consuming, and a cleansing.
That is why I usually do light work first, then Violet Flame work, and then the light work, at the end.
Sometimes, I will use a blue light, as a protector, on the outside edge of my energetic field.
It works quite well, this blue light. It looks light the blue flame of a gas stove, an etheric, moving energy,
I see the Violet flame energy as also moving, and in action. The blue, for me, though, works very well as a protector.
In the Seven Rays (or worlds of being) the Blue Ray energy, is the First Ray. It is about power, will (divine will), and courage. The Archangel Michael works on this ray, and is a wonderful ally for protection.
It is a good energy to use on the outside of your aura, or field, or to protect something.
I do love the idea, though, of asking an Angel for help, in transfiguration, and for healing. Like a jump start for your car, and then you are good to go.

Whether it is white light, or Violet, or Blue, you can radiate it on your own, and SHINE YOUR LIGHT (Here is a past blog post with more on that, and a sweet meditation video), or you can ask for help, from an angel, in bringing your cells into a higher vibration.
The angels are happy to help you, all you need to do is ask, and to be open to it.
Have a blessed and light filled day!

Here is the chart of the I AM Presence, showing the three columns of protective energy you can use. The figure on the bottom is you, and the golden halo your higher self, and the figure above, is your own god consciousness, or I AM presence. The beautiful, and expanding rings of energy around that are your karma. Your good karma, meaning all the good that you have done, through thought, word, or deed. Your job here is to raise the balance of that. You already have a good start! I’ll talk more on that next month, stay tuned.

Healing the ancestral lines

4/7/2018

0 Comments

I have been enjoying a course in Ancestral medicine, getting to know the 4 lineages of my parents.The main jewel in this is to connect with the well ones, the transcended ones, those who are ok, and can bless you, and have wisdom, from their own journey, that they share. Those who have not transcended, or who are not well yet, can undergo a transformation to join them (Elder Malidoma Somé talks about this word "Ancestralization", the community of well ones). One of the processes in the healing is to grieve, or bear witness, to some of their trials, and traumas. Another is to forgive, and yet another, is to know the blessings that they had, and, are passed down through you.
Whether good, bad, or indifferent, is it wasn't for them, you couldn't be here.

Also, the traumas that are not grieved, or expressed, or healed, will be carried in the bones of the descendants, willing or not. It has been an amazing journey, and I highly recommend Daniel Foor's book 'Ancestral Medicine", if you want a step by step workbook, to do this work in a safe space. Your lineage goes back hundreds of thousands of years. Think 1,000 years, is about 20 generations.
At some point, we all meet.

In working class 3, in course 2, (grieving and forgiveness), I've been working with my mothers Polish lineage. In my Grandfathers lineage, which originated in Lublin. When he arrived in the US, his name shortened from Kozlakevich, to Kozlak, to Koslak.

I can see and feel the pain, in a safe space, guided by my well ones.
"Is there something for me to bear witness to?" I asked.
"It was like a Pogram", they said (except it was about the Polish). Russians, or cossacks, or paid soldiers, attacking at night, killing most of the woman and children. The men could do nothing about the slaughter.
"That is why they drank" the well ones prompted. I was also shown the red and white flag, with the eagle, and a bough. A very, very old version. I am shown, they were forced to leave their land, walking in the high snow, with just the things on their back.
I could feel the grief wave through me, I felt it in my bones.
There was also the rape, of a very young girl.
(I had seen known this before, as a psychic, something about the child of a rape from a cossack, who was not loved, who was hated, because of the rape. His spirit caused a lot of grief, subsequently, after his death. But that is another story.)
I was looking at this young girl, possibly 9 or 10, in her nightgown, huddled against the wooden wall, and staring back, with terror.
"That is where the being came in", they showed.
This is nasty, and dark, and the well ones push me back, not to see/feel. But I grieve it on some level. I am not healing it, or them. That is not my job. ( In this context, it is the job of the well ones, in the lineage).

As I am preparing to leave this journey, I see that the well ones are healing my great grandfather. Perhaps this will take a few more of these sessions.
Afterwards, I was in my garden, looking at my new grape sprouts on the woody stems. I felt softened by the grieving process, like I needed some time to care for my self, but otherwise, good.
I then felt a soft presence brush past my right hand, to get my attention. I saw a flash of my great grandfather, thanking me. Now, I have never seen him, but the polish nose I saw on that face was a telltale sign. I felt protected, I knew he was on his way toward ancestralization, but not quite yet. I'm sure there will be more work on that lineage.
Funny, now that I think about it, my mom had grapes in our yard, that came from her dad.

Flag of Lublin, city in Poland

Because I have been working on both lineages of my mother's ancestral line (which are both Polish, Lublin, and Bialystok, both on the Eastern side), I have been studying the history of Poland. I will share a video, which shows the build up of Europe, both in population, and in boundaries.

Some people doing this work can name relatives, going back many generations, and some only know their parents, or in the case of adoptees, may not even know their parents names. Some have taken DNA test to shed more light, and others just rely on their journey, and psychic abilities.
In this case I have only my mother, and a handful of photos of my grandparents, whom I have never met. I am so lucky to have strong psychic abilities, because this is how I am meeting them. When I journeyed to a relative that had crossed, (my aunt Helen, my mothers sister, who I have known half of my life), she took my hands, and placed them in my Grandmothers hands. And then, I looked up. What an unforgettable moment!

My mothers parents had hard lives, many children, and worked hard. They also were able to leave Poland to live the American dream, and own some land, build a house, a home, a garden, some livestock. Most of the stories I remember, have to do with gardening, stories of being poor, but making it work to be happy, and of family. The small town I grew up in, was mostly Polish immigrants, mostly Catholic, living similar lives.

I'll be doing more work, and explorations, on both sides of my lineages. Happy to share more, later.
Doing this work is not all painful. Here's an older post about my Italian lineage...

https://youtu.be/8CwFHH_y2So), and Pt 3 https://youtu.be/8P1y2v0BwnM
and of the population growth in Europe, throughout the aeons.
Gentle blessings,
Helena

Great quote! Important to have good protections, and tools, and support,
to feel, grieve, and release it.

Trusting your Process, and your True Self

3/3/2018

0 Comments

It's all about trusting your process. That helps you to relax into what it is you are doing, and, while doing your best, giving yourself the benefit of the doubt. Also, giving the universe the benefit of the doubt, since the universe knows so much more than you do. Remember also, that you know so much more than you think you do!
This is how I like to think of the process of co-creation. You can see yourself as surfing (or bellyboarding, if you don't know how to surf) in this vast, ocean. You can feel, and sense, the pull of the current, and the waves of the ocean. You have an intention, you have your tools, and you have your energy, your capable spirit, even your past life or past time information, to help you.
Your physical body and it's effort is important. Keeping it strong and happy, or at least motivated, and slightly amused, will help you in your quest.
But it's that sense of trust, and it's ability to keep you both relaxed, and aware, is what we are addressing right now.
I have just come back from a very powerful shamanic training, with one of my teachers, Betsy Bergstrom, in the compassionate depossession of spirits. Some of those "suffering souls" were once human, and some never were. It is an intense, and sacred process. And there are powerful, and yet both sacred, and amazing results, for all parties involved.
It can be quite intense, and you need to be both centered, and protected.
One thing that I will do, in the set up of this process, is to become aware of my "True Self". Whether that is called my I AM Presence, or my God Self, or my True Self. This is the self that is radiant, expansive, that cannot be wounded, corrupted, or changed in any way. And once I have connected to that part of me, and with my higher heart, I start to allow, and trust in the process.
You are that self. You have access to that True Self, too.

It is almost too simple. To be your radiant self, to connect with it, and to become it, connects you to all your tools and resources, with no effort.
It is the smaller you, the ego you, the fear based you, that lacks trust; it wants a guarantee. By stepping into the light of your own being, that clear knowing, or cognizance (it's located in your 7th chakra, one of your tools, one of the "clairs" that you have, like clairvoyance, clear sight, and clairsentience, clear feeling), comes into play.

This is one of the places that I read from, as a psychic. I may "see" things with my clairvoyance, but my "claircognizance" makes sense of it all, makes it whole. I have learned to trust that place, to get answers.
BE STILL, AND KNOW.

When creating something in your life, or, in creating your life, the tool of trust, can help you immensely. Either in trusting the universe, or in your true self. Even in the law of attraction, allowing yourself to feel the vibration of the word "trust" in your being, allows you to relax a bit, take a breath, and allow. It may feel like the opposite of control.
How strange, that most of our life, and our world, we cannot control. Most people see that as a sense of not having power. Power=control. Leaning on another person, or an Angel, or a friend, or guide, or the universe itself, seems the antithesis of creation.
But sometimes to stop struggling, to not know, to allow yourself to be led, to be shown, is the key. There is Grace in that. It is the secret password, of your next step. The previous article speaks on this, on Grace, and on letting go.

Listen to your dreams, for they are smarter than you.

There can be, for us, some wounding surrounding trust, either from people that have abused ours, or from a notion that the universe did not have our back. Many of us have at some point, turned our backs on that place of trusting the universe. In this place, I may interject the word "God'. I have seen so many people turned away from their god, from their own light, because they felt abandoned, or let down, when they trusted.
there can be a lot of pain there. Present time, and past time pain, and past life pain, or possibly ancestral trauma and pain. It is worth doing the healing work if it seems insurmountable, to go back and release or heal the old, old patterns. For now, though, breathing, grounding, centering, relaxing, and saying hello to and accessing your True Self, and going into a place of co-creation, with a loving universe, can be a goal worth reaching. Not only will it bring peace of mind, and immense healing, but you'll be working with the laws of the universe, instead of against them.
Not only will your emotions, and your mind experience the shift, but your body will, too. It's a wonderful, expansive energy, to trust, and to know. The opposite can be a cosmic isolation, that you have to do everything yourself, effort, effort, and the world is out to get you.
Even if there is past trauma, the expression of it can get you out of isolation, and to a place of healing, of being heard, and that you matter.

Gabor Maté, a family physician, and also a medical coordinator of the palliative care unit of the Vancouver Hospital, talks about and has studied clinical cases for years, how a people who can't trust, or express their authentic selves, and go into seclusion about it, has a much greater risk of getting sick, with illnesses such as cancers, and autoimmune diseases. Some people become sick from years of not trusting (that you are safe while sleeping, for example), long after the initial trauma has past. He shows that not the trauma, but the lack of its expression, raises the risk of illness. If you are interested in his findings, I'll post the link of his talk here.

Now, I'm not saying don't participate in creating your amazing reality, with slow and steady effort, hard work, and love, and passion, and (of course),asking for help. What I am saying, is to realize the wisdom of the universe, and to allow it to unfold.
You cannot control everything, and it will break you to try.

I am saying to be curious.
To be open, to allow.
I am saying to trust.
Don't quit, in the middle of what you are creating, when it gets tough,
the struggle will not last.
Trust yourself, hold the vision, trust the process.
Do you remember the last time that you did trust, and it was ok, even better than you could've planned?

Love the process. Be in that place of absolute surrender, once you have set your intention in motion. Don't worry so much about the "how" of it.
Be in certainty. And clear knowing (that place, in your 7th chakra, on the top of your head, where you connect to divine intelligence).
You can feel fear, and you can learn from exploring it, but you don't need to match the energy of it. Same with the energy of isolation, either personal, or cosmic.

Trust in the divine timing of things (that can be hard for me). Trust in the power of love!
Meditation, and mindfulness help you to get to the quiet place where there is little mind chatter. It's a good practice, becoming a clear vessel, to be still, and know.
Trust is a belief, and it is also a tool, as is asking for help. And getting out of your own way, is a part of that. It is allowing.
Trusting the process, tapping in to your True Self, and allowing yourself to be a co-creator in your own life, is like surfing the waves in the ocean; it involves practice. It's the art of knowing when to effort, and when to let go.
