Our lives are comprised of events and experiences. Memories are made along the way. All of it is energy. When we think about people, places, and things, we reawaken the energy from that time. Some of it is good, some of it not-so-good. Whatever the case, we often have objects associated with those events and memories. Things like furniture or pictures. A friend of mine … Continue reading Sentimentality, Regrets, and Longing
A friend sent a video of an energy healer that normally works in the religious community. That’s not a bad thing. Healing energy, positive thoughts and well-intentions prayers are good things. To me it’s all the same energy called by different names, but that is a discussion for another day. The friend who sent the video was only interested in what I could “see” in … Continue reading The Power of Negative Energy
We can’t help it. We’re human. We want what we want. Sometimes, we refuse to be diverted from it even when we know we should let it go. It could be due to stubbornness or the belief that if we hang on a little longer we’ll get what we want; patience is a virtue and all that. Let it go. I had a client who … Continue reading Listen To What You Don’t Want to Hear
Every person I know at one time in their lives has lived through something traumatic. Some things are more devastating than others, but what might not be that traumatizing to me might destroy the world of another and vice versa. When we encounter such situations, from a shaman’s perspective, we can leave pieces of our soul behind—stuck in time, forever holding the energy of that … Continue reading Are You Broken?
People are people; thus, drama happens everywhere, even in the metaphysical community. I got sucked in, at the edges, of a situation that has been going on for months. At this writing, it’s still going on. Sides have formed and lines drawn. I have to wonder what people are thinking about allowing this kind of energy to persist. All the people involved understand that focusing … Continue reading Watch dramas, not participate in them.
It’s human nature to want to belong, be liked, and be a part of something greater than ourselves. We used to live in tight-knit villages not only for social reasons but also for our survival. By nature, we are not lone wolves. Even lone wolves are not alone all the time. I’m not a doctor or expert in human behavior, but I imagine that the … Continue reading Where Do You Belong?
I’m not the only one who can see them. I’ve heard tons of stories from people who have seen their loved ones after they died. Some of them before they knew the person had died. I see them as people, but they are also transparent. It’s how my perception designates who is alive and who is dead, I suppose. They are all over the place. … Continue reading Ghosts – The Way I See Them
Recently, someone asked me this question, and I had to think about it. Not because I didn’t know the answer, but because I realized that what drives me has changed a few times. I never thought about it before, and I had to reflect on what drove me to do the things I did before and how and why it changed. We are driven by … Continue reading What Drives You?
Most people don’t think about having a priority list. I know I didn’t until I started doing shadow work then I realized that I wouldn’t make much progress without it. We prioritize things from the moment we open our eyes in the morning until we fall asleep at night, but we rarely think about what our priorities are. What I mean by priorities is thinking … Continue reading What’s On Your Priority List?
When working on something, whether it’s developing a new skill or continuing to build on one we already have, we encounter a barrier of some kind, and we don’t know what it is. From my experience, most people think of it as being hesitation or fear. It could be. Whatever fears they have surrounding their efforts come into play, and they try to find ways … Continue reading Hesitation or Resistance
