Just a hop, skip and a jump...

This weekend, in one day, I was given the beautiful gift of having 3 of my dreams come true, supported, validated and honored.

I was, at the last minute, asked to read at a Psychic Reading fair at Avalon Holistic Clinic & Retreat in Raymond, NH. I was so excited! I was seeking a retreat at a holistic center. I was able to select the table right next to the rock circle that had seven megaliths representing each of the seven chakras. This was complete with a rock water fountain in the center, runic symbols placed against trees with smaller stones, prayer flags hung and a lake reflecting foliage in the distance. I was able to do readings, as well as receive a chair massage. I was in my glory, listening to Shamanic Journeying music while I did my readings and enjoyed the site.

Boom! just like that, two of my dreams come true. I was reading at a psychic fair AND got my day at a holistic retreat center. Phew! Exhale. What a wonderful experience. I was lifted by the ability to spend the day outdoors in such a beautiful setting, next to the megaliths, doing what I love to do.

Score.

Then the 'big one'. I was approached, out of the 7 readers that were there at that fair, to do readings for Salem's Psychic Center in Salem, MA the last two weekends in October as part of Haunted Happenings! She said she had been seeking out my energy. I can relate to that. She said my energy vibrated at a frequency she had been seeking. I understand what she means by that. Call it 'psychic' jargon, but I get it.

I was thrilled to pieces! What an opportunity?!

I was thinking, just ONE WEEK PRIOR when I was vising Salem, MA, that I would love to be able to read at a reputable shop. I like the energy of Salem's Psychic Center. I have never been in the shop, but I like the feeling of it...as opposed to some other shops that shall remain nameless...

BOOM! Dream come true #3 in less than a day. ok, I see where we are going with this...my last blog was about coincidences. hm...that's funny...I was just writing about coincidences and here are a bunch that fell in my lap...

I have had a lot of interesting things happen in the less than week since my last blog. I learned that you better be careful what you search for online, because you never know when Big Brother can be watching...I am not going to elaborate on that one...but those who do know what I am talking about know that I know when to take a sign (huh, that's an odd 'coincidence'...)

I have learned that by setting goals and intentions, the manifestation of such can be brought to a rapid pace.

There have been so many other little things that I could write for days. Calling someone after they were just talking about me. Showing up to visit someone who had just been thinking about me. Meeting someone who had some 'coincidental'/synchronistic ties with me. Being asked to do a fair that filled one of my dreams at a location that filled another one of my dreams. Then being at the fair and being asked (despite several people wanting to be in the position) to be a reader in Salem, MA for Halloween?! OK! I like where we are going with this.

All I have ever wanted to do is help, heal and teach. I feel it is why I am here. I do this by teaching people to tap into themselves and look at themselves multi-dimensionally...mind, body, emotions, spirit. All functioning (or not) pieces of the whole.

It would appear that the Universe is supporting me fully on this path in ways more beautiful than I could have imagined. I have learned to be careful with what it is I am attempting to tap into, regardless of my purely helpful intentions. Some information is better left untouched by me.

I am definitely listening, and good things are happening.

I was told by a family member that I enter the room differently than some people. She said I seem to float and my energy is just different. Hm, when I was a kid and not liked in school...different was a bad thing. I guess keeping to myself at times was not a bad thing.

While some kids were socializing, I was studying all things Psi. When I made friends, I sought out a connection to esoteric arts and an interest in spirituality. I have made many friends along the way. I have made acquaintance with people I called friends...learned the intended lesson, and ran away...haha.  Discernment of the word 'friend' has been a focus of mine in the past few years. I am becoming increasingly selectful with that term, and resolve to listen to my gut before I call an ill-motivated foe, a friend.

Today, I woke up and did school work for hours. When pausing to reminisce about the events yesterday, I found myself missing the tranquility of the retreat center. I decided to take a break from studies and see when the wellness fair was going on at Rolling Ridge in North Andover, MA. Hm, that's strange....the event is TODAY?! ok....that's an odd coincidence (ya see why I stopped writing about every single coincidence? It is a multiple time a day thing at this point...ramped up more recently in intensity and frequency). I pulled myself together and went. I was seeking out an energy clearing of my own. I needed an objective view of the block(s) I am trying to work through. I am human. I know when I need to reach out.

I was able to get a session with the same woman who worked on me at the same event last year. While she was working, I observed what was going on with my own energy. In my observation, I had to chuckle. I hit the nail on the head. The objective view and outside individual working with my energy to clear away sludge was my key. I was able to find the source of my heart center blockage.

When I was developing, I was in a relationship with someone who was less than accepting of any of 'that hocus pocus mumbo jumbo bullshit'. hm. ok, not exactly encouraging, but I care a lot for you, and you do not accept that part of me.

I continued on my (stagnated) path of spirituality. I received the messages. My issue was trust. I did not trust myself. I had some people in my life who questioned my sanity. In turn, I questioned my own. I began to write. I wrote about my thoughts, impressions, readings, gut feelings, and where I wanted to go from there.

I continued to (struggle) to develop while I was in that relationship. Once I realized the toxicity on a variety of levels, I resolved to make a change. I would be left to deal with the aftermath of the damage and pain for years to come and years of therapy can't 'undo' what happened. Sigh. Moving on...

I realized that some of my 'old' issues were continuing to hold me back. I had a disconnection between what I was experiencing and my belief/trust in the same.

My belief that this is real. My belief that I am here to help, heal and teach...That I am Intuitive and I am here to help you to understand the same inside of YOU. That this is NOT BS.

I needed to reconnect my solar plexus with my heart. How silly?! I worked on a blockage, and worked on the whole, but I didn't address the connection between my heart with the other chakras...It all seems so simple now. I get it. I needed an objective view to help me see something within myself.

As she was working on me today, I began to get flash back images regarding exactly what this disconnection stemmed from. I am a work in progress, aren't we all?

I am beginning to realize that each coincidence, each synchronistic event, each time I listen to my gut, it leads me in a direction closer to where I want to be.

I courageously avoid not listening to the intuitive voice, the soul's voice. I have learned what happens if you do not pay attention. You kick yourself in the butt and wish you had listened to yourself to begin with!

It is very rare that I meet someone who is thankful they did NOT listen to their own intuition. Let me ask...Have you found an occasion when your intuition guided you to do something, and you made a free will choice to NOT listen...and GOOD came of it? I'm curious. If so, please expand my current belief system!

I am hopeful and believe this upward trend will continue. I wish the same for you, if you so desire.


Blessed Be & Namaste.

Coincidence? I don't think so...

I began tracking my coincidences in 2002-2003. I realized at that time there is no such thing as a 'coincidence' and that many coincidences are part of synchronicity. I now understand that these things happen to help us understand more about ourselves as well as more about others and the bigger picture.

So many of us live our lives in our microcosmic world while paying no mind to the macrocosmic picture. We hone ourselves into our little world and tend to hyper-focus on trivial things that do not matter. Why do we do this? Do we do this to distract ourselves from the 'bigger' picture? Do we choose to not pay attention to the coincidences that attempt to push us forward in an attempt to control some aspect of our life?

What if we are not the ones in control of the macrocosmic picture, but we do have control over the microcosm? What if we listened to the guidance inside of ourselves as a result of understanding the bigger picture? Would we be more happy, loving, tolerant, understanding, and compassionate, while being less medicated, 'helpless' and violent? Perhaps.

I am sure that not many humans are privy to the 'bigger picture'. We have sought out for thousands of years through a variety of ancient texts through a variety of cultures to obtain the key to some of the questions that we have been asking for centuries. Why are we here?

I believe that free will is rampant. I believe that we have control over what we focus on. I believe that we have the ability to change our microcosmic world, and in turn make a difference in the 'the bigger picture'. I believe that we are so much more powerful than many of us understand.

Think about it...How many times have you proclaimed 'I can't help it', 'I wish I could do something', or 'I have no control over that'? Could you really not help the situation, or are you being 'lazy' and seeking a physical world answer? Some things are just beyond the physical world. Some things can be remedied by utilizing ethereal energy.

It is practically common knowledge that we are energy and that everything is energy. If the belief of the majority of humanity is in a deity of some sort, something greater than ourselves (barring the beliefs of atheists and secular humanists), wouldn't it make sense to say that ethereal energy, God/Spirit energy, is more abundant than any other form of energy we can measure utilizing current technologies? If so, then why is it so outside the realm of possibility for many to conceive that ethereal energy exists, and we access it?

People speak to the effect of creating what we want. Some speak of the importance of having positive thoughts, because that is what we 'put out there' and in turn create or receive. Some,  speak of 'gut feelings', intuition, coincidence, 'intuitive; or psychic abilities, mediumship and conscience. All of those things are a result of ethereal energy. God fearing and God loving people speak of miracles. Atheists and secular humanists suggest focusing on the current blip of energy and doing all you can here and now, rather than thinking more linear and cyclical (beyond space and time) and expecting a return to a deity of some sort. Would it be a stretch to say that those encompass ethereal energies as well?

No, not everyone will agree with all of those things stated above, as logic and reason are abundant that tend to challenge ethereal beliefs...BUT, if we CAN agree that everything is energy and that the majority of people in the world believe in some type of 'God' greater than ourselves, would not it stand to reason that there MAY be some energy out there that we have yet to be able to measure using current methods of technology? Some energy greater than ourselves that many don't understand because we look outside of ourselves for the answer? What about the Chinese concept of Chi? Life force energy...Ethereal energy is the same thing. What about the Mayans, Hopi and more with their validated 'inside' info from ancient texts? Obtained utilizing Ethereal energy. Prayers are also heard through ethereal energy.

There are so many things that humans have stated before with confidence and later proved wrong, therefore pushing forward the previously current methodologies of science and technology. Once upon a time it was wholeheartedly believed that Earth was flat, Earth was the center of the universe, heroin was beneficial and that Pluto was a planet. The point? Science has been wrong before.

We are fully engaged and locked in a time where many people rely on science, technology and media for the answers. We have made advances, but we have also been wrong, remember Y2K? What if we stepped back from the land of media, internet, technology and science and oh, I don't know...actually looked within?

I have talked to people about 'looking within'. Some give a simple nod with a knowing smile...others look at me like I have 10 heads and think I have my head in the clouds. Still others seem perplexed that I actually want them to 'get inside' themselves and realize they are more than a bag of bones. Some are eager to hear more.

We have a soul or a spirit inside of us, many believe that.  Why does it challenge so many beliefs when someone speaks about communicating with your own soul? We easily  pick up our 'smart' phones and text, email, call, etc. and can reach out to anyone we choose. We look at NASA and Google Earth for pictures and information about what is beyond our microcosmic world. We search and scour the internet for information about the world around us; current events, politics, entertainment and 'reality' TV (the "REAL" lives of people who don't/won't matter to us on a small scale...generally so we do not have to pay attention to what we need to in our own lives), science and technology, self help/personal development, and some slither through social networking sites to find out what someone else is doing so they will again not have to focus on their own life (it's so much more fun to gossip about others than it is to fix your own issues, right?? ugh!). We seek information about things that we don't understand, as well as fill our heads with garbage that we don't NEED to understand. Why does it matter? Why do we do that and then look boggled when someone suggests turning off the outside world for a minute and looking inside yourself?

We are 'busy' in 2011...I get it....we 'don't have time'. We make excuses. Sure, we are busy, but why can we not take one minute a couple of times a day to get in touch with ourselves? Personally, I have a hard time finding the 20 solid, uninterrupted minutes a day some talk about taking to meditate. BUT, I absolutely take one solid minute a few times a day. Quality over quantity.

If you have ever felt something was a coincidence, if you have ever been involved in a seemingly synchronistic event, if you have ever felt like someone was watching you (when 'no one' is there - in the physical world/realm), if you have ever thought about someone and they contacted you, had a bad feeling, thought or felt something and then it happened, had a miracle occur, prayed, set a goal or intentions, or even cast a spell...you have worked with ethereal energy.

Some people pray to God. Some people cast a spell. Some people do neither and try to check things off their bucket list (achieving goals). Yet, each of those belief systems (as a whole) tend to judge the others.

Organized religion repels 'witch craft' and secular humanism and atheism reject both! Then there are many caught in between.

Personally, none of those options appeal to me. I am not big into organized religion (the closest I have gotten to resonating with an 'organized religion' is Spiritualism), witch craft and spell casting is not for me. Secular Humanism and Atheism are not for me either, despite my atheistic approach at life through my miserable teen years. I do not judge anyone who resonates with any belief system. We are all seeking a common goal...To be happy.

The point of this blog is to help some understand that there IS something out there bigger than many understand, and it is WITHIN us. It is outside of us. It is everywhere.

Free will is abundant, personal responsibility is necessary and becoming acquainted with the little voice inside (not in a mental illness 'the voices told me to do it' kind of way...more like a listening to your conscience or intuition type of way) is necessary to finding the missing piece of the puzzle, the answer that we seek. We seek organized religion, search the internet, and do everything possible to look OUTSIDE of ourselves to find the answers.

What would happen...if we put a pause button on our life, took a step back, communed with the Spirit inside and listened to ourselves with reckless abandon (not in a reckless way, but abandoning any sort of preconceived beliefs, notions, practices)?

What happens if we start paying serious attention to coincidences? Ethereal energy's attempt at waking us up. Would we be able to more easily modify our microcosmic world? Fulfill our desires? Make manifest what we want to create?


The focus of thoughts we so shall reap. The source of desire is one we seek. It goes to say that we reap what we sow. Maybe someday, we'll be challenged to sow what we Know. Our time (in this life) is Limited, we all shall agree. Why not take a Leap of Faith and listen to me? Grow into your own, listen to your soul, the voice shall speak...and when you listen, your Sow you shall Reap.


Namaste.
