the 11/11 portal

There's so much metaphysical stuff flying at us these days it becomes increasingly more challenging to keep up with what's happenin'... and at times just damn frustrating trying to pay attention to it all.  That my love, is my job so allow me to share my take on this quantum leap.

Since the end of the Mayan calendar on Oct 28th, we've been in this cosmic bliss bubble.  Many of us are feeling elation, excitement, light headed, dizzy spells, and sheer joy for no apparent reason.  To this I say: "Well, this doesn't suck!"  I'd gladly take this uplifting merriment over the intensity of the summer. 

We can ride high through 11/11 when the the apex of light will hit us.  By then, I'm told by my Guides, we can expect to find ourselves comfortably at a new frequency with no concerns over again dropping below this optimum wave. 

The higher vibrations hitting our planet can be directly attributed to the "happy waves" that have been finding us.  As we move through the portal, we'll hit the peak and can then get comfy in a new space of being.

Does this mean I expect to wake on Saturday to a new world? ... um, no!  But it does mean I can rest assured this lighter heart I've been donning can get to stay for a while.  And man, does it feel good.  Each day is ours to co-create.  What shall you share with the universe today?

Rock n Roll What?!?

I've been playing out in the ethers as the Rock N Roll Shaman for a few years now.  Invariably someone asks how this moniker came into being and I always have fun answering this.

My friend Laura Faeth is the first to inspire me and since then myriad other answers, reasons and justifications have come in.

To answer it simply, I love music, am rather rockin my readings and bust out old paradigms much as rock n roll music does.

It is through sound that all the worlds ills can be resolved!  When I'm down and out, Tool is always the first thing I pop in to feel like myself again.  NERD is what my family invariably chooses when we clean.   Melancholy calls always for John Fruscuinate's The Emyprean ... or Journey if I'm feelin' nostalgic.  Sunday morning breakfasts bust out with Ella Duke while Tom Kenyon and the sounds of the Hathors play in my office while working.  And when I'm writing... Wagner. 

What's the sound of your soul?

modern musings on 2012

Much discussion have been brewin over the looming 2012 new year.  As with all things, you really can breathe into it what you'd like.  End of the world?  New brink of humanity?  Or simply a new year's day no different than last.  Whatever your heart wants to be true, you can find someone who can validate it.

My view has shifted over the years... settling into something rather special that now fills me with giddiness.

When my daughter was born, I would wake panicking.  I bought some books that helped me sort out my beliefs from the pre-programmed hype.  Once I could clearly see what freaked me out, I could then label it as being my stuff or not my stuff.  Even watching a trailer for movie  2012, I felt such fear being cued.  Inside the darkened theater, I did my best to eradicate the mass induced fear the images and music were trying to amp up. 

What I have experienced in an ever increasing excitement as we approach the year!  It's remarkable how much we are evolving as a whole.  Never before have we been able to access all previous lifetimes with perfect clarity.  Never before have we been given access to esoteric spiritual tools simply by asking.  Never before have we been empowered enough to clean up our karma consciously!  The internet has made information available en masse.  From science to religion to politics to cooking (!), technology really has enable us in every way to have, know and be whatever we want.

In most spiritual traditions, you would dedicate your life to your focused speciality-- be it Tibetan Buddhism or monastic scholarly pursuits.  If you were devoted and prudent, you may gain a kernel of universal truth in your aged years.  This may be a meditation practice, the ability to levitate, or simply a healing technique known only to your tribe or clan. 

Now, in knowing the questions to ask, we are able to get clear and beneficial information instantly!  A web search can only be at the level you know how to request.  If you need a 3rd eye activation from Metatron, you can find one online.  If you are looking for the best way to awaken the serpents to assist in ascension level meditations... that's out there too.

I am humbly amazed by the breadth and quality of spiritual materials available to us.  In the last 10 years alone we have advanced the human race to a level not achieved since Atlantis.  With the monumental push, it's truly mind blowing to imagine what 2012 might herald in.  Be bold, be curious, be humble and see what new frontier you can conquer!

Haunted Houses, Ghosts and My oh My.... there's something in the air this time of year!

Let’s break this down into a few parts…. Are there ghosts?  Yes.  Are some houses haunted?  Yes.  Are evil spirits out to scare people?  Not so much!

Here’s my take on what the heck is happening in the invisible realms…

The death process is tricky, requiring the right keys and access. 

For most of us, Angels & Loved Ones will ensure we make our way through to the other side.    For others, those whose life was filled with ick or those who pass too quickly or while under the influence, the A to B of life to death is muddier.   These few can happen into becoming a ghost. 

Other “ghosts” are stuck on their own accord.  A brutal or cruel life may warrant fear that the being is unwilling to face.  I don’t give up hope on any being and instead choose to help them make their way through.  

In the days of Old, we had intricate ceremonies, and prayers for the Dead.  The Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead chronicle 100 days of prayers and rituals to ensure the crossing party made it to the other side.  In our modern rituals, we are dead, buried and grieved within a week!  

Ghosts do happen and require assistance.  To me, it simply looks like a soul who is stuck and needs a light shone in the right direction to get moving again.   Whether in death or in life, my job is to compassionately assist souls in their journey.  A house clearing (or blessing) can be incredibly effective and beneficial in assisting the "stuck" soul and helping the family feel better, clearer and more safe. 

Haunted houses rarely have ghosts.  Hauntings are the result of intense energy that has created an imprint in the fabric of time… Yes, I may watch and love my Dr. Who but this is truly the best my mind has been able to make sense of it.   Imagine writing something in pencil then erasing it.  The bold color words may be gone, but the image – your creation, intention, and energy – will still be there. 

A haunting is often simply a bad event, that keeps playing itself over and over as if in a loop.  In most cases, the household simply needs to figure out that this is what’s happening and reconcile how they can live with it.  A true haunting poses no threat as the energy is simply repeating an image and has no life force (being/person/thing) attached to it. 

 If there is an energy attached (a ghost) who is causing the family discomfort, an intervention is required to assist the being in movin on.  I believe in compassionate clearing, helping the ghost understand what occurred and empowering them with the option of completing their own natural life/death cycle. 

So what about the oogie boogies who are harming or threatening?  Evil, they are not for the word is simply divisive.  Polarity (good vs bad) is the true root of most “bad things” and when we can understand with greater awareness, the fear factor may be eradicated.  There are energies who operate “different” than us.   Most of us operate from a place of love, kindness, and harmonious relationships.  Others seek power and greed.  This doesn’t make them wrong, just different… you still with me??

The oogie boogies are older earth bound energies who simply want power.  They feel power by creating fear.  Look at them like monsters (or even demons) and you only provoke your own fear.  Look at them like beings with an agenda different than yours and you are empowered to change the situation! 

For those truly dark beings with a rooted agenda in fear, we have skilled LightWorkers who can assist.  I do not encourage bustin out your sage and trying to clear things on your own.  Sometimes you’ll only entice that which you are trying to rid. 

But, having the knowledge of what’s what in the invisible realms is power too.  If you have specifics, put in a call to someone you trust and ask for assistance!  My basic rule is that we are Masters of this plane and we’re in charge.  When we can come into our power on this, we have infinite potential to create and be the change we seek.   

Wishful Thinking or Actual Messages from the Other Side

We’ve all heard the stories of mourning family members receiving messages from the other side.   But how do we know when it’s actual “proof” of the great beyond versus wishful thinking?

In my world, I try to accept everything as true!  The very nature of my work means I must believe.  Truth be told, you are psychic too and the more you believe, listen to, trust and follow the information you receive, the more you will be given.

If you have a questionable encounter… ask yourself if believing that it’s true makes you feel better or worse.  Invariably, better right?  So go with that, lovey and let your heart feel soothed in your time of need.  From songs on the radio at just the right time, to lights flicking on and off,  to uncanny coincidences, these are easy ways Spirit can get through to us. 

  

I’ve had a slew of departed loved ones recently teaching me from the other side.  One gentleman in particular was giving me a lecture on how radios (and music boxes) are easier to manipulate – get through—than an ipod.  Fascinating!  The level of the energy he said is more conducive for him in the radio signal rather than a programmed, mini-computer formatted, ipod.  The frequencies, he said, were more harmonious and carried more of a life energy.  Even Pandora has quite the right energy… you can read all about that story here.    Perhaps radio and Pandora allows for coincidence to enter because we are not in control of what’s on.  

Gavin and I used to get frequent messages from his bff who crossed when they were teenagers.  Tony, in his youth, worked in a Taco Bell.  There was a particular Taco Bell in Chicago that we used to go to be with him.  Every time we were there the music on the radio would literally answer us, confirming the things we were contemplating.  Nirvana in a Taco Bell—you better believe it!

This universe is giving us myriad ways everyday to support us in our growth and expansion.  If we choose to be skeptical, we will receive confirmations, myth busting and empiricist science that disproves the spiritual.   That is the way the universe works, it provides us with what we ask for.

For those of us who choose to believe (I <3 Mulder!) we will likewise find more ways that support us in our optimism.  Believing brings us more, feels better and allows us to actively participate in the magic of creation.  Try it out both ways and let me know which feels better for you! 

Psychic Myth Bustin'

"How can you do psychic work in Denver full time if no one believes in what you do?"  I had a new friend recently ask me this and as I tried to compose myself and answer diplomatically, all I could think was geesh, this is exactly the struggle I face in legitimizing my business.  

"From one holy shit moment to the next," I answered.  It's often those who don't believe in my work at all that gain the most.  I rely on touching people's hearts in the most profound of ways and hope they pass my name along.  I know my ethics, my authenticity and my sincerity, so the real trick is just finding others who value what I do. 

So for the record, let's clear up some of the crazy schiet y'all think of when you think of a psychic:

~ we wear turbans and use a crystal ball

~ we're just making stuff up

~ we sleep with cats

~ we're weird, crazy or both

~ we know the future

~ we're out to curse, beguile or scam you

Now some may be all or part of these things, I however, and most of my close trusted circle of psychic allies, are none of these.... ok, maybe the cat part but that's their story to tell!

I am a sassy and spunky, non turban wearing psychic.  I don't love the word psychic but get that it's a good catch all to explain what the fudge I do!  I feel myself to be a force of positive change, inspiration and empowerment.  I do this using my enhanced intuitive abilities and continually receiving training so I may better be in service.  I am a healer and hope to help my community in times of need.  AND I try to do this with as little ego as possible.

I'm also a Mom, Wife, Sister, Daughter, tax payer, business woman, voracious reader, sometimes inspired chef, and avid plant lover.  The more I normalize my work and allow people to know me before they know what I do, the more they may safely relax into the world I get to walk.

To be able to deliver messages from the other side that heal decade old wounds, to clear energies that block someone from fulfilling their dreams, and to help empower someone with the truth of an awful relationship so (s)he can move on for good-- that is the gift of the psychic.  I feel so very blessed and am in constant awe of the beauty I get to see through your eyes.

If you're in need of the fortune telling schiester... there are those out there who will gladly fulfill your expectations and empty your pockets while incense and candles flicker in the background.  But leave your conceptions at the door and step on into a world of much more inspired and practical, ethical psychics.  You'll be so glad you did... and if you aren't, tell me so!  Go ahead, I dare ya :-)
