Do you give too much?

I have met many women especially who give too much to others at the expense of themselves.  Constantly helping others and ignoring yourself will cause an imbalance in the heart chakra.  Over the years, an imbalance can manifest into emotional issues or physical disease.
   
Pardon the cliché, but the pre-flight instructions to put on your own mask before helping others applies to life as well.  If you really care about others, how will you be there for them if you are not healthy or alive?
   
People who give too much tend to be overweight because they take on the stress of others and do not take the time to relax.  Also, some time in their life many have learned, or developed a detrimental mindset, that they should not look after themselves before others; they actually feel guilty if they make time for themselves and make healthy choices.

Think of the example you are setting for your children and others you care about.  The best thing you can do for them is to be a positive role model and look after yourself.
 
One step to reverse this unhealthy habit is to place your hands over your heart before you go to bed each night, with the intent of sending love to yourself, and think of at least one thing you can do for yourself the next day - and then do it!

Reconnective Healing Energy

I started reading a recommended book at the beginning of May called, "The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself", by Eric Pearl.  The person who recommended the book said that she felt the energy from the book as soon as she picked it up.  I did not notice anything until I got to the part where you practice using the energy.  I certainly felt it in my hands that night.  In the book, Eric describes a rash on his hands the first time he used the energy.

The next morning (May 11th), I was playing with the energy and it felt like my hands knew where to go on their own.  My left hand spent a bit of time around my head and my right hand focused on my right torso.  That afternoon, a rash appeared around the left side of my face and spread to my right ear the next day.  It then started to appear on my right torso.  I had not used any new lotions or soaps or eaten anything new - I believe it was a healing detox rash.  The rash on my face disappeared after a week and the rash on my torso took a little longer to heal.
 
The next Saturday (May 19th) I was taking a bath with Epsom salts to help heal the rash and I decided to play with the reconnective healing energy again.  My hands moved on their own all around me, stopping and moving, seemingly with purpose.  My right hand then focused on my right leg and then both hands came together in a prayer position, pausing at my nose and then settled at my mouth for a while; something I would not normally do on my own unless I was doing yoga.
 
At this point, I sensed that Archangel Michael was protecting me on my left, Metatron was in front of me holding my hands, Uriel was sending love on my right and Raphael was behind me.  I was being cleared, healed, and maybe even altered in some way.  The author of the book describes how this energy changes DNA.  After a while, my hands moved again and, as they came back towards my face, they did not feel like my hands.  My left hand settled on my mouth and my right hand went to the back of my head until it felt complete.  
 
This energy is different than Earth energy or Reiki energy.  I do not know if it is a higher frequency or not, but my body was certainly affected by it.  If you decide to read the book or go to a Reconnective Healing seminar, I highly recommend doing a detox cleanse first to minimize any side affects of the energy.

Warning - Psychic Scams

People often seek out psychics when they are going through difficult times.  Unfortunately, there are people out there who take advantage of the fears and insecurities of others.  There are people who call themselves psychics and may claim that you have been cursed for example - but for a fee (sometimes thousands of dollars), they also claim that can clear it for you.  Always be wary of anyone asking for large sums of money for energy work.

Please listen to your intuition.  Even if they were clearing entities and beings from your aura - why would it cost hundreds or thousands of dollars?  If you are concerned, get a second opinion and try to find a legitimate psychic or healer to help you.  Better yet, learn to protect and clear yourself.  There are many books which can assist you with energy protection and clearing.  Always ask Archangel Michael for help if you attempt to clear yourself.

Prayer to St. Anthony, Patron of Lost Items

St. Anthony, grant that I may find (name the lost item) which has been lost.  At least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss.[1]

You can also say:

Tony, Tony,
look around.
Something's lost
and must be found!

You can also substitute the name of the article you're looking for (e.g., my car keys) for the word 'Something.' [2]

..or simply, "Hey Tony! Where are my keys!"

Stowaway Spirits

There are spirits, thought forms and entities which exist in other planes of existence that can attach to a part of you in that dimension if you do not protect your energy body - especially if you have a low vibrational frequency (if you are emotionally distraught, generally exhausted, depressed, have a negative mindset, a blocked energy system etc).  Trapped spirits can also be attracted to people of light because they believe the person of light can help them if they are stuck.

This may alarm some people, but it is better to be aware so you can do something about it instead of be affected by a potentially wayward being.  Beings can also be benign and are just looking for help.  The affects of spirit attachment can vary from no obvious impact on you to making your life miserable.

Sometimes, you can tell if someone has latched on to you if you find yourself doing or saying things which are uncharacteristic for you.  Also, you may have feelings you cannot explain.  However, some beings or thought forms can be entangled energetically for many lifetimes, or to a lineage, so you may not even notice they are there because they have always been there as far as you are concerned.

One way to protect yourself energetically on a daily basis is to ask Archangel Michael to protect you from any beings which do not serve your highest and best.

Some believe that you can do more harm than good if you try to clear entities yourself (for yourself or others) if you are not adept at working with energy and do not have the knowledge to properly protect yourself and others.  If you are concerned, seek out a legitimate healer or psychic to help you (this should not cost hundreds or thousands of dollars).  In any clearing, ensure that energy is transmuted into the light so that it does not attach to someone else.

I personally believe that we can clear our energy bodies to the point where we vibrate at a level where we are no longer affected by lower frequency beings and thought forms.  Just like there are light frequencies beyond the visible light spectrum for humans (IR and UV) or different radio stations; say changing from am to fm radio which is a different band of frequencies altogether.

Everyone is Psychic!

• Have you ever turned around and caught someone staring at you?
• Do you sometimes know who is calling before the phone rings?
• Have you had times where you felt you had to go a different direction one day and you happen to meet an old friend you have not seen in years?
• Are there coincidences in your life which are too strange to just be coincidences?
• Have you thought of a loved one and then heard a song on the radio which reminds you of them?
• When you look back on something that went wrong at the time (you spill your coffee, your computer crashes or your car dies); does it turn out that it was really for the best?  (Note that the day after I wrote this my car battery died and it turned out for the best for many reasons!)

Everyone is psychic!  You just need to practice regularly, meditate daily (even just for 10 minutes), and clear your energy so that you can connect better. 

You also have to believe you are psychic and maintain a positive mindset.  If you tell yourself that you are not psychic then you will block yourself.  Focus on the times you are in the flow and it will help you to gain confidence.

Remember, it takes practice.  At the same time, there are some people who it comes more naturally.  Just like some people are naturally better at music, math or sports than others.  It does not mean that others cannot learn.  Some people have either developed their skills in past lives or something has happened to them in this life which either triggered their ability, or caused them to stay open minded about the possibility so they paid more attention to their intuition and developed it from an early age.

If you really would like to develop your abilities, I suggest that you learn more about psychic abilities (on-line, books, this blog etc) and join a mediation and/or psychic development group.  Seeing other people with abilities and practicing with others who can give you validation will make a significant difference.

Feeling Frazzled? Hug a Tree!

Go for a hike or a walk around the block (or somewhere where there are trees).

Find a tree that you feel drawn to and hug it.  Ask it to help you and hug it until you feel its energy ground you and calm you.  Picture roots growing from your feet into the Earth and merging with the tree.  Do not think about anything else except how the energy of the tree feels to you.

When complete, thank the tree and wish it well.
