State of The Heart is a reminder to check in with yourself, your heart, and your energy. What state is your heart in? Do you live with an open heart, overflowing with unconditional love? Focus on the love in your heart in every moment. Keep coming back to it. It is a portal to your Divine Spark, your connection to God. An open heart is a key which opens many doors…

You Who are the Source of all power,

Whose rays illuminate the world,

Illuminate also my heart

So that it too can do Your work.

However, many of us start out with intentions to make changes that are overwhelming and set ourselves up for failure. We pressure ourselves with lists to ‘be, do, and have’, then beat ourselves up when it doesn’t happen. This fuels self-hatred and ego lies about inadequacy. But, there is another way…

Love yourself as you are. Cultivate satisfaction with your self and your life they way they are now. This quiets the ego.

When you love your self and align with your Higher Self you naturally align with what is next for you. The pounds melt away, the cash rolls in, the perfect partner shows up – because you are on purpose. You’ll know when it’s time to act – or wait and do nothing until the timing is right. Maybe your soul’s plan isn’t aligned with what your ego mind wants. Maybe your soul’s plan has something bigger, better, or different in store for you. Or, maybe there are more lessons to be learned before those things you’d like to be, do, or have, show up. By trying to force things into place you may be delaying your soul plan from unfolding. Often causing yourself pain in the process.

Are you “should”ing all over yourself?

When you are focused on what needs to be fixed about your body or your life you are missing what is here now. Will you love yourself unconditionally with flatter abs or more money? Probably not. The ego will always find things to despise about the self, and feed you “if only” scenarios. Emotional attachments to specific outcomes can lead to failure and disappointment.

Many, if not all, of the things we would like to ‘fix’ are caused by ego-mind choices.

Progress cannot be forced.

I’m not saying don’t set goals or intentions. Those are wonderful tools to help you get a clear picture of what you would like to create. I am saying don’t attach to them emotionally. Be free enough about them in your mind and heart that if they don’t happen when or the way you think they should – or at all – you don’t feel like a failure. Trust your soul! Feel the excitement of the unknown! Be open to possibilities! Make space for your life to unfold for your Highest and best good!

May Thy Will and my will be One.

So, burn your resolutions! Hold a Sacred Ceremony and tell your Higher Self/Goddess/God/Universe: “This is what I would like to happen, but I’m surrendering myself here and now to what You would have me be, do, or have. I open to receive now all you have in store for me. I Trust You. I promise to listen for your Guidance, then act on it. Amen.

Wait, listen, and then act. Divinely inspired and supported actions are powerful and effect True and lasting results!

Feel free to use my Daily Self Alignment Prayer to help get you there.

“The mechanics of manifesting are rather simple and quite easy once you get the hang of it. Get out of your own way, in other words, don’t over think it. Simply hold a thought until it’s clear in your mind, then, instruct the sub-consciousness to manifest it for you – or make it happen. Then, release it to consciousness as you would hand over a blue-print to a builder. Then forget about it. “

At this point I posed a question about how to avoid faulty manifesting. Receiving something close to what you intended, but that “misses the mark”.

“During the phase in which you are envisioning your heart’s desire you can repeat the phrase “Thank you God for making this ______ perfect for me in every way.” Or, “Thank you God for completing this picture with all I’ve not included for my perfect happiness.” Then, trust that all your needs are met in every way.

The art of architecture is one of the heart more so than the mind, although the mind is utilized in the process. Sometimes the painting of your life needs some more blue here, more green there, and so can be adjusted or tweaked. To throw away the entire painting, or creation because you don’t like what you see is an abomination – an affront on God. After all, who do you think is holding the brush?

Step back out of your microcosm and look at the big picture. You may think your lot in life is unfair, but that is only your ego-mind talking. The creator has given you a most powerful gift: the ability to create!”

So how can it be that if God is holding the brush that I can create what I want for my life experiences?

“Ahh. That is the $10 million dollar question isn’t it?

You can choose to create from the ego-mind and fill your life with things, events, and circumstances that “miss the mark” and leave you unfulfilled, or worse, or, you can allow God to create through you – using your body, your hand to hold the brush as he guides it.

This takes practice, trial and error, as you learn to subjugate the ego-mind to the Will of God which works through the heart. The heart chakra is literally a portal to the aspect of you which is the Divine Child – the spark of God within all of creation. When you act from an open heart, following what your heart wants you cannot fail for all the heart wants is to give love. Without thought of what it’s getting in return. Without expectation. Without worry, guilt, or shame. Without the ego building walls of separation. Creating using the energy of the heart chakra – weaving love into your visions of creation – will create Heaven on Earth. For you and all those around you.

When you step out of the Belief System of this for that, money for work, you open to unending possibilities of abundance and experiences of Truth. For, in Truth, God is the source of everything – and that’s the final word. There is no other truth or way around it, although the ego will tell you otherwise. That devil in your mind will make you fear for your very survival, for how will you pay your mortgage or for your car that takes you to your job to pay for your mortgage and the car and electric bill. If you follow God’s Will – which rests in your Heart – you will unlock a whole new life for yourself, a whole new way of being. Fearless, free, and full.  

What more could you want than a life of love and abundance?

If you are experiencing now that life is a ‘drag’ and maintaining your possessions take up all of your time, maybe it’s time to flip the switch on the ego – lights out! – and re-dis-cover where your true happiness waits. In you Heart. “

I have a chronic illness with no known cause, and no known cure, and until now only a few people close to me knew.

I may have dis-covered a cause and a cure, and maybe it can help you too.

My story, in brief:

I have had mild symptoms for over twenty years, but in the last four they have exacerbated greatly, and changed my life and how I live it.

As I’ve written here previously, in 2007 I experienced some traumatic losses and changes in a short, head-spinning period of time. The stress and trauma crescendo-ed on New Year’s Eve 2007 when I collapsed from exhaustion on all levels. I spent the next three months in bed. Although my physical body was ‘down for the count’ this was a time of a huge initiation and quickening for me Spiritually. I opened, learned, and grew a lot during that time. I became acutely aware of my Guides, and others, around me at all times, and our two way communication increased dramatically. I thank God for them helping me through that very scary time.

My body has never fully recovered from that, and I’ve been to several doctors, and had many tests to find out why. Blood tests revealed antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus, the suspected cause of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis – which my mother had – and I have symptoms of both. I was given no answers or treatment plan, but offered anti-depressants, which I refused. I am not depressed, and the side effects are too dangerous – they can cut you off from communication with your Higher Self, or Inner Knowing, cause suicidal thoughts, and more. No thanks! Further, this virus doesn’t intuitively feel like it’s the cause of my symptoms.

I was disappointed at the lack of support and answers from the medical community and began to self treat, which is hit or miss, and limited, as my ability to to work has decreased significantly.

Of course, I went to many healers of different modalities to get to the cause, but none could tell me exactly why I was sick. I did my personal healing work daily, which included forgiveness, prayer, meditation, and repairing my energy field. I tried dozens of supplements, diets, (I am now vegan, and juice daily) exercises, rest, etc., nothing has eased the symptoms for long.

With infrequent exceptions, the only time I have no symptoms in when my heart is open. This includes when I’m in Session with a client, in meditation, and when I’m just feeling peaceful and loving. Love is the God Force, and I endeavor to be in that connection always.

To heal anything you have to find the seed – the primal cause – and pull it out of your energy field.

I asked my Guides many times what the cause of my illness is, and I’ve received different answers each time. Sometimes you have to know what to ask to get a clear answer. I’ve realized that even psychics and Intuitive aren’t given all the answers, because we have our own lessons to learn, and we have to Master our own lives. We have Guides to guide us, not to give us all the answers to our life challenges or make our decisions. However, they do direct us to dis-cover answers ourselves, if we pay attention.

I continued to search myself and the events leading up to my collapse and remembered something that turned out to be significant.

It may just be all in my head.

Dental work.

In 2007 I had several mercury fillings replaced, and then a molar that broke, exposing the center, unsealed part, of the filling inside. I could taste ‘metal’ which meant the mercury-amalgam was was leaking out. I had that tooth removed, but the fillings remained.

I looked up symptoms for mercury poisoning online and found that they are the same as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibro Myalgia, the beginning stages of Multiple Sclerosis, and many more no known cause, no known cure diseases. I have 19 out of 30 symptoms on the list!

I remember years ago my brother saying he believed our mother’s MS was caused by her mercury fillings, and yet I still had them ‘installed’. Dentists always assured me they were safe, but I now believe they are misled. I had been warned, and went against my own Inner Knowing by agreeing to have this done. If my mother had this information she may still be alive today, and healthy.

I went back to my doctor and had my blood tested for mercury. It was there, and she assured me the level was safe. However, a little research reveals that a “safe” level of mercury in your body is different for every state! And, how can having any poison in your body be “safe”?

For example: in Connecticut, light bulbs containing mercury must be disposed of as hazardous waste, and yet one of my fillings contain more mercury than one light bulb, and I had ten fillings! How can this be “safe”?!

If you have even one amalgam filling I implore you to do some research.

Just a few more things I learned in my research:

Amalgam fillings are about 50% mercury.

Mercury is stored in the brain, nervous system, and tissues of the body, and does not respond to body cleanses and detox diets. Chelation therapy (pronounced “key lay shun”, heavy metal detox) can remove it.

More and more dentists are mercury-free, but most cannot/will not say that it is dangerous.

Dentists have protocol and guidelines for handling, storing, and discarding amalgam filling material as hazardous waste, but have assured people it is safe to put in their mouths.

You cannot begin chelation until all the fillings are out as it can draw mercury from your teeth and poison you further.

Saliva tests are said to be more accurate than blood tests, and are done before and after chewing a piece of gum to measure the amount of mercury released by the fillings.

Mercury is a common ingredient in many household products, like paint and cleaners, cosmetics like mascara, and bleaching creams, as well as personal products like hemorrhoid ointment. So you get poisoned on both ends!

I also have Rosacea, a skin condition which looks like a permanent sunburn (lovely, I know), also a no known cause, no known cure condition. It’s known as ‘the Scandanavian curse’ as people of that DNA seem to have it more than others. I wonder if the Scandanavian diet of fish, seafood, and kelp – which are high in mercury – could be the cause. Add a few fillings…

There are three options for removing the fillings:

1. Holistically. There are two dentists in Massachusetts who remove amalgam fillings in such a way that you don’t ingest the filling or inhale the vapors during removal. They also provide supervised chelation therapy. Costly, with limited insurance coverage.
2. Traditional removal. This method can be dangerous as ‘traditional’ dentists do not take precautions to prevent pieces of the filling from being swallowed as the old filling is broken up. Also, mercury fumes are inhaled. You can become poisoned further.

3.Have the entire tooth pulled and a false tooth used instead. Implants are an option, but contain titanium.Will that turn out to be another metal that causes illness?

I admit I freaked out a bit when I realized I may be poisoned from within my own body, but it gave me something to act on to heal this instead of loading up with toxic meds and giving in. As an Indigo, and hard-headed Aries giving up is not an option for me! I began having my fillings replaced earlier this year, and hope to have them all done sometime in 2012. Once all the mercury is out I’ll begin chelation therapy to detox and give my body the best opportunity to repair the damage done.

What if mercury is not the cause of my illness? What if I have it all removed and don’t get well? The many, many personal stories online from people whose symptoms completely ‘went away’ after the removal of murcury-amalgam fillings give me much hope for complete healing. If this isn’t the cause then at least I will have been proactive and given it my best attempt. If this doesn’t heal me, I’ll keep trying.

Finding the Blessing in illness

Because of this ‘illness’, my body has kept me isolated and in ‘rest’ mode for the better part of four years. During this time I have been vigilant and determined to heal anything that limits me in every way. I have called up every trauma, betrayal, belief, and wound from this lifetime and others to come up and out. I have learned to be reliant on God for everything, and my Knowing has become stronger than my ego-mind. I have had the time and willingness to learn from my Guides that I wouldn’t have had if I were well and working a ‘real job’. This illness may have been a way to get me out of a life incongruent with my Soul’s purpose. Healing is now my ‘real job’ and purpose, and so is sharing what I have learned and experienced with you – so you can heal too.

The “nasties”

I don’t always name exactly what these beings are, as it can cause fear in some people, usually it just doesn’t matter, and so instead I use a general term to describe them all: “nasties.” It makes them a bit less frightening, I think. The nasties are beings who have de-volved away from the Light, and must feed on the energy of others to survive. They have lost their connection to God.  Usually they are in the etheric realm, or non-physical, but can include people possessed by darkness who are abusive, parasitic, manipulative, and mean.

I have seen the nasties since I was little, been attacked by them, found them in my home, been to places infested with nasties, and seen them possessing people very close to me. They used to scare me sometimes, but I have no fear anymore, as I know their game and how they play it. Once you know their tricks you can recognize it quickly, and begin to clear them. If you have done your inner work, to heal and purify yourself, dedicating your self and Self to the Light, it becomes easier and easier.

A client recently asked why they keep coming back when she is vigilant about using her clearing tools. Here’s what I’ve learned: It is the nature of this realm we live in – a polarity dimension – which consists of both dark and Light. Buddhism, Christianity, and other ancient scripture tells us that the Earth is the realm of Satan. The existence of these beings has been known throughout the ages, as have ways to deal with them. It is my belief that during the crusades and witch hunts, when people possessed by darkness turned the tables and accused healers, seers, and Light-workers of being evil, those brutal deaths may have implanted a fear of ‘seeing’ and using our gifts in this life, out of fear of history repeating. This repression by the darkness has caused a kind of sleep to blind us to these gifts, and our inner knowing of what is dark and Light. Search yourself for this fear or belief, and pull it out of your energy field. Heal this trauma and your perspective of the world and your role in it may change.

I also have a theory about magnetic and electrical overload in our systems which tamper with our sixth sense. We know Electro Magnetic Frequencies have been linked to illness, including cancer. As we are electro magnetic beings, it’s easy to see how our personal energy field can be distorted by EMF’s. One reason we feel closer to God, and more at peace in Nature because trees block EMF’s.

It amazes me how blatantly obvious the dark side makes itself known in this world and yet people choose to ignore it. We have been conditioned to be blind to it all around us. Knowing we live in a polarity dimension, we can discern it by asking ourselves: Does this thought/belief/book/experience/ food/treatment/medication/image/movie/substance/music/job/relationship/commitment make me free, healthy, peaceful, and closer to Source?

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist.”

~ Charles Baudelaire

Sea salt, crystals, clearing music, prayers, fasting, and other tools, can work for a little while, or longer if you are vigilant. An experienced shaman or energetic healer can pull them out of you, and clear your home, too. I offer this service, and have been successful in clearing the stubbornest of nasties.

However, there are ways to lessen the attacks, and make you ‘unpalatable’ to the nasties so when they do show up, there’s no reason for them to stick around. I went into this in detail in my class “Clear and Protect Your Energy Field”, but I’ll give you some ways that may be helpful here.

The nasties feed off negative energy, and will send impulses to perpetuate it so they can survive.

These impulses usually come into your field first as negative thoughts. If you attach to these thoughts, by believing it’s your thought, then negative feelings will follow, and free lunch for the nasties. Cultivate self-awareness, and be mindful of the origin of your thoughts. Begin by sitting for a few minutes each day in silence and witness the thoughts that come up. With each one ask: Whose thought is this? Then let it go. The results may surprise you.

Do your inner healing work:

The nasties will target your weaknesses and wounds, exacerbate them, then attach to your field, or aura, at that place, usually a chakra.

Forgive everything and everyone, ask forgiveness for yourself, and clear your karma as best you can.

Purify your body and keep it clean.

Call in the Light to fill your physical body, aura, and living space. Often.

Connecting to God, Guardian Angels, Mother Earth and Her Guardian Animals to protect you.

“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion

looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8 NIV

Along with your inner healing work is dealing with your shadow, or personal dark side, which we all have. Observe yourself – not in judgment, but awareness – and see how you treat yourself and others, and what energy you are sending out. Like attracts like.

It’s my belief that the ego-mind is connected to the “reptilian” part of the brain, and this is where the impulses sent out by the nasties are received by humans.

If we are ‘coming from’ our ego, or reptilian mind, we are more easily influenced by darkness.

When we are aligned to our Higher Self our heart is open which naturally creates a lighter, higher vibrating energy field. Darkness cannot attach to someone while their heart is open.

A Few Things to Avoid

Avoid drugs and alcohol – all kinds – and people who use them. Bars are full of demons, and yes they transfer from person to person. Drugs and alcohol send you out of your body and create rips in your energy field creating a doorway for parasites and other nasties. Ever see someone act completely different under the influence of substances? Also, I recently heard someone mention that the reason alcohol is called ‘Spirits’ is because you are more easily accessed for possession by Spirits while drinking. People who smoke a lot of pot usually have several demons attached and always have dark, dark auras. Unfortunately, they also live in denial and refuse help, thinking it’s harmless. Believe me, I’ve tried. Instead of stuffing your negative feelings, heal them, and be done with it!

Also, horror movies, violent/dark/demonic images and music emit an energy signature vibration of fear and worse. The sounds and images call in the nasties. Like attracts like. It’s no coincidence these are made to be appealing to teenagers and young adults. They are more easily influenced.

Few people I’ve met who have nasties attached to them know it. It’s sad sometimes because I want to help, and I pray for them, but I cannot interfere with someone’s personal evolution unless asked. Sometimes I offer my assistance, but it can be tricky as I can’t come right out and say “By the way, do you want me to get rid of those parasitic demons for you?”

False Power        

I know people who are fully aware they have entities sharing their body – and like it! They believe it gives them power, but of course this is an erroneous belief impulsed by the nasty. It comes to no good end, believe me.

When one of these people came to his senses and allowed me to clear it, he actually looked different after it was gone. He looked softer around the edges somehow, and his voice was softer too. His life had been a downward spiral for a while, and within a couple months of the clearing got a job, an apartment, and girlfriend.

If these nasties are allowed to remain in your field – knowingly or not – you’ll come to nothing but negative experiences. Do your best to live with an open heart, that is the best defense.

I am praying that the Shift we are experiencing is the beginning of what The Book of Revelation calls “a thousand years of peace” during which the darkness is locked in “the abyss”. I would love to experience a world without darkness! Can you imagine what it would be like?

Do not become tied into any one belief system, or teaching! For surely all teaching – including this one – is a belief system. Glean the wisdom and techniques that serve you in serving God, and disregard the rest.

All the religions in the world are belief systems. Traditions, ways of life, and even the laws which govern your reality are belief systems.

Consider this:

If you believe you are going 85 mph in your car, you fear a speeding ticket, maybe a little, and you look out for police cars so you don’t get a ticket from Smokey.

If you believe you are driving 55 mph you do not create fear energy within you, and so the drive is more pleasant. You are thinking perhaps “I am innocent and all is well”, and you feel good.

So, your feelings – or state of being – are based on a little red plastic stick, and the belief that someone with more authority in the world than you is going to reprimand you if the needle moves a few notches to the right.

Now consider this:

You are not moving anywhere. It is all taking place in your mind. In reality you are still. You are changing your state of mind, feeling, and enjoyment based on an illusion. Constantly you do this and we say to you “wake up”.

Come to the place in your being which knows the truth of who and what you are. Seek it diligently, or relax and tune into it – but find it. This shall be your number one priority. Otherwise you spend your life here being run by belief systems. Whether it’s yours or someone else’s doesn’t matter. It is all tails wagging the dog, yes? Or, shall I say, god.

Take a moment before saying the prayer and focus on the breath moving in and out through the heart chakra, expanding and opening it with every exhale, as the heart energy moves out to surround you and fill your field.

Always say the prayer aloud, with focus, and with love inspiring every word.

After saying it, (or at any time) bring your attention to the heartbeat, the pulse in your body, knowing that your Life Force IS God.

Mother-Father God,

Prime Creator of All that Is,

This day and every day,

Use my body, mind, and Spirit to fulfill Your Will on Earth.

Take from me the longings and desires of my mortal mind,

and quiet the ego so I can hear Your Voice.

Put Your Visions in my mind,

Your Words in my mouth,

Your Love in my heart,

Your Actions in my body,

As I am Your vessel in Service

to the One God,

One Source.

Fill me with Your Light and Love

This day and everyday.

In the name of the Creator and Created as One.

And so it is.

And so it is.

And so it is.

Some food for thought, and thoughts on food…

In my quest for optimum health, I’ve tried many elimination diets over the years, but nothing really worked to make me feel better or have more energy. Until now.

My encounter with a Cow Pie

I haven’t eaten red meat or pork (aka cows and pigs) for many years, because of the steroids, antibiotics and who knows what else they’re treated with. But, in a recent Session I did for a client, a Guide told him “Eating meat is causing a conflict within you as you have a deep love for all animals. This, (being out of alignment with your heart) causes soul fragmentation.” A light went on within me – could this be true for me as well? My whole body responded YES!

Soon after, I was at the health food store buying supplements, where I picked up a free copy of a magazine with “Vegetarian Recipes” on the cover. Turned out to be from PETA, and it did include some recipes, but had several pages about the way animals are treated in the process of becoming our food. These images were hard to look at, but necessary to know what’s really going on with our ‘food’.  My stomach turned, my heart hurt, and I couldn’t bear the thought of my beloved cat, or any pet, being treated in this cruel, sick way. Another light came on – there is no difference between these animals and our pets, except that we eat some and make others part of our family. That’s it. Some are not meant for food and others companions. They are all conscious beings capable of love and affection. It’s all in our beLIEf system, or b.s.

Immediately I prayed for forgiveness for ever consuming any of these beautiful Beings. I asked to be forgiven for the karma I had created by participating in their painful and cruel treatment. I lay down to pray and meditate on this, and immediately had a vision of a beautiful brown and white cow next to my bed. I asked her if she and the animal kingdom could forgive my horrific actions in my ignorance, and she said, “Yes.” Then, she turned completely around and dropped a huge cow pie next to my bed! I thought, “Okay, I probably deserve at least that in retribution for eating your kind.” She turned round again, put her front hoof in the pie and smeared it on my third eye. I was protesting “Hey don’t put it on me!” But she didn’t listen and continued to put it all over me. I allowed it, thinking it must be my karma, and if this clears it, then I’ll do what it takes.

Later that night, I opened a book I’ve had for years and never read: The Bhagavad-Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Reading the introduction – to my wonderful amazement – I read, “Cow dung is sacred, according to Vedic scripture. If one touches the dung of an animal he must bathe his whole body, and yet cow dung can purify an impure  place or person, according to Vedic scripture…It has been found by modern chemists that cow dung is a composition of antiseptic properties.” (Italics mine)

That beautiful cow in my vision was purifying me, forgiving my karma, and I am grateful she graced me with her Sacred Dung. I have since stopped consuming all dairy products as well, and feel more energetic and mentally clear than I have in a long, long, time.

(If you have rosacea like me, then watch this video of a dermatologist speaking on a possible cause – lactose intolerance.)

Prometheus’s Curse

A while back, I read a fantastic book documenting the complete recovery of AIDS patients (some near death) when they changed their diet to all raw food. I can’t help but wonder what else can be cured this way? This passage in particular spoke to me as it de-mystifies this supposed myth:

“In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the Gods in order to give it to mankind. Zeus, the father of the Gods, punished man by sending a woman, Pandora, to open the container where all the plagues and illnesses were stored. This apparently harmless myth takes on a much deeper meaning if one recalls that fire was used almost exclusively for culinary purposes during that epoch in Greek history. If the various illnesses did escape from Pandora’s box, did the transformation of food by fire have anything to do with it? The verdict of the myth is severe: as punishment for his misdeed, Prometheus was chained to a rock where an eagle pecked out his liver for eternity. There is a striking convergence between this myth (suggesting that the use of fire for cooking leads to illness) and the astounding remissions obtained by a natural diet in human subjects and in the cats of Pottenger (raw food=health). Our ancestors doubtless understood, at least subconsciously, that the transformation of food could be heavy with consequences, as they explained in the Prometheus myth. From Maximize Immunity: And Unleash Your Best Defense Against Illness by Bruno Comby 1994. (Italics mine)

I think this passage deserves some contemplation. The liver removes toxins from our body, and cooked and processed foods all contain toxins. There is so much information online and in books on the benefits of raw food that this is worth looking into if you don’t feel your health is at it’s full potential. I’ve read some amazing personal accounts, and currently eat about 80% of my food raw, whole, and unprocessed.

There is also evidence that certain raw foods (garlic, ginger, and more) clear nuclear radiation from the body as well, while dairy products store it in your cells. And, now a days, that’s something we all need.

Godspeed optimum health for us all, and may the Light of Wisdom lead our way to it!

To be completely free of an addiction takes some work, but it can be done. You have to be willing to choose health over hurt, self-love over self-destruction, and let go of the past to be fully present in the now.

If you’re dealing with an addiction, most likely somewhere in your past there was a moment or prolonged period of trauma; deep disappointment, neglect, abuse, betrayal or abandonment – that was so overwhelming you just couldn’t face it.

Think back – really focus and be honest with yourself. What was going on in your life when this behavior began? How old were you? What was your family life like at home? At school? At work? How where you feeling about your self at that time?

I have noticed that sometimes people get stuck in the time period when major ‘stuff’ was going on in their life that they are unable to move past, manifesting as: a hair style or clothing from that time period, listening to the same music from that time which makes them feel nostalgic about it (or internally wanting a do-over), acting similarly to that age, i.e. not maturing to their current age.

Expressing the emotions you felt at the time of this event/events is the key to healing addiction once and for all. You have to get the energy of it out of you to heal. Those ‘stuffed down’ emotions are probably attracting similar circumstances to cause those feelings to replay in your life now. You can be free of this.

Begin At The Beginning

You begin the process by facing what ever it was that hurt so badly that it made you want to hurt yourself to escape the pain. To heal anything at its primary cause (the energetic seed in your aura/energy bodies) you have to find it first, by following the roots (the memories of events). This can cause fear if you allow it, but know that you are in THIS moment, and only looking at a memory. Even the feelings are a memory – an imprint left on you in a moment in time. There is nothing to fear.

Make a safe, sacred place and time for yourself where you won’t be disturbed. Begin by writing down everything you remember about that time and how you felt about it, who was involved, etc. Don’t worry about spelling, punctuation, or anyone reading it. You can burn it later if you wish, to watch it go and transmute it – which I recommend. The point is to get the energy of it out of you.

Some people resist journaling, or make excuses not to. However, while this step may seem too simple to work it gets the energy moving, and can be very healing if you commit to it. It clears the subconscious of repetitive and ‘junk’ thoughts, so you can better focus on now.

If you don’t remember the exact time or circumstances, go as far back as you can in your memory as close to when the behavior began. Writing what you do remember or currently think about the situation can make way for older memories to come to mind. You can also write letters to the people involved, telling them how you feel, how you wish things went, what you wanted them to do, etc. You can send them or not, but express it.

Allow the emotions to express themselves: write them out as “I feel….”, scream, punch pillows, cry, (crying is the way the body releases pain), what ever you feel, honor that, and just stay with it for however long it takes. It will pass quicker as you recognize this process as clearing. You can do this. Endeavor to not hold onto a ‘victim mentality’ or the clearing won’t be complete. Just witness yourself letting go of energy. Don’t perpetuate the past into the present by reliving it, but witness it.

Comfort Your Inner Child

Inner Child work is extremely helpful in getting in touch with your true feelings about any situation, and I highly recommend it as part of this process. For more info on what it is and a free Inner Child meditation click here. There is also info online and many books about it as well.

Clearing Curses and Karma

Some people carry a ‘genetic curse’ making them predisposed to addictive behavior. (Scientists have dis-covered a gene for alcoholism.) These ‘curses’, or karmic re-plays, can be stopped. It may be a genetic imprint from actions of an ancestor passed down through generations. As we are our own ancestors, these can be traced back through past-life viewing, or energetic healing, and ‘erased’ from your energy field.

Realize It May Not All Be You

Negative thoughts, beliefs, and emotions carry a certain vibration, which draw to you beings of like vibration. Some of these may be people who have passed on who resonate with what you’re ‘sending out’, or entities which feed off the energy generated by negativity (known in Buddhism as hungry ghosts). These can impulse you to perpetuate the vibe of the emotions and behavior, because for them it’s a free lunch. Feeling like you can’t control your own actions? If so, this may apply to you. Energetic healing can rid you of any nasty ‘piggy-backers’.

Freedom

Once you do all this work, and clear away the ‘issues’, you’ll need to fill in those places energetically with Light, and your heart, mind, and beliefs with positivity. You cannot go rolling in the mud again. A lifestyle change may be in order to replace a destructive behavior with a constructive one. Friendships may end – but new ones will begin. Most likely, you’ll feel so much better about yourself  - and lighter- you will want to start treating yourself better.

*My Addiction

I experienced all three of these (trauma, genetic curse, entity), which kept me stuck in a 30-year addiction to cigarettes. (I was 8 years old when I started) I tried everything to stop over the years, desperately wanting to, but nothing worked until I did the process I have outlined above. It took some deep inner work, and no, it wasn’t easy, but I did it. I know you can too.

One of my Guides says:

We wish to tell you this: When you do things destructive to the physical body it reverberates all the way up to the soul causing fragmentation. When you honor the physical body, you honor your soul, which is your God aspect.

To clear unwanted habits of self-destruction, call in the soul for help. The presence of the soul is calming and can get you back on track, so to speak.

Now, when you do this, come to a place of stillness within, so the ego steps out of the way and quiets down. Then you will feel the associated emotions (to the addiction or behavior) arise and you can witness them, and release them.

That is all for now. Love your Self as God does. Amen.

And so it is. Godspeed your healing!

That is not the only change he is aware of; he is in tune with all around him, which is often polarized. He feels the subtle nuances in moods and emotions of those around him, yet outward expressions do not always match. As he cannot yet differentiate these ‘signals’ from his own it can be quite confusing. With the energy shift/time acceleration in the last few years getting increasingly intense, he has learned quickly to ground and let go of this fear attaching to him. Sometimes I feel as though my child is out in the world ill equipped to handle all that is thrust upon him at such a young age. However, my own children, and those I have taught, can do amazing things with energy with less guidance than most adults. Kids  just need to be reminded, or refocused away from the external.

Time is short, and the children need to be weaned of video games and mind numbing television, and be brought out into the real world, into nature, and be shown the way to their power – true inner vision. We must trust divine guidance to help us do this the best we can. Mother Mary comes to mind as a guide to help, as she raised a child who knew who He was from birth. We mothers can imagine the effort it must have taken on her part to teach Him, but also to let Him go. We can learn much about letting go from her as her Child belongs to the world. Imagine if she said, “No, Jeshua, you can’t go to the temple today. You need to clean your room!”

Our children also belong to the world, as the world belongs to them. We must lead them as best we can, then let them fly. As much as we want to protect and shelter them, they must be prepared for the near future. We cannot go through the process for them as we are going through it ourselves. How sad and less beautiful the sky and the trees would be without the birds flying and singing! Baby birds follow the parents’ lead, and are sometimes pushed out of the nest if they won’t go. We must take them by the hand and make this learning a priority over all else now.

We shall not alarm them with the stories of the world ending, yet we can explain it as a beautiful transformation, as if Earth has been in a chrysalis for a time and now it is ready to stretch Her wings as a butterfly. We are a part of that being, so we must assist it and stretch our wings as well. As we teach them all we know I believe we will find they hold more wisdom than we realized, and can teach us a thing or two.

 On Children

by Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.
