Supernatural

Has anyone ever watched the cable series Supernatural? My hubby-love has recently become a fan. It is a fantasy show about ghosts, hauntings, possessions, anything that could be considered out of the normal. Although it is mostly just fantasy, every now and again a show has a theme or a message for me. Recently my hubby-love was watching the show and actually came up with a message from the show which he in turn suggested I turn into a blog. He is my sometimes muse.

In the television show, there was a man who had been shot in the head and was in a coma. The grim reaper had come for him and he kept trying to run away. In his dreamlike state he kept going through doors that led him to places in his past in which he had unresolved emotions. At first he would realize where he was in his past and run back out of the door he had gone into. He had a sort of guide with him who suggested to him that in order to get out of his predicament and overcome the grim reaper he had to go through those doors and face the scenes that were being played out there.

This message was an interesting one because only the night before I  had done a session with a woman who was attempting to overcome a phobia. I had attempted to get to the source of this phobia by taking her through a "journey" to the source of the phobia. I took her to a door in which she was to go through to discover the origin of the phobia. However when we got to the door, she was unable to go through the door. Instead I decided that the next best plan of action was to take her by baby steps to a more peaceful place. I am hoping in future sessions to eventually get through the door.

Are there recurring issues in your life that are holding you back from moving forward? Are there fears or phobias which keep you from enjoying life to the fullest? Is there perhaps a recurring theme that you would like to break free from? Or possibly a recurring illness that is unexplained by doctors that could possibly have a root somewhere in the past? Maybe you have a tendency to attract relationships in your life which at first seem to thrive, but after awhile you notice that you are attracting similar patterns or similar personality types into your life? Has anyone said to you that your mate is just like .... so and so.. a relative or someone in your past...?

Perhaps the answer is facing that door that opens into a place in your past in which there are unresolved emotions. In my hubby-love's work in the paranormal field, I have occasionally gone with him and felt emotions trapped in homes, in walls, in basements, even in dishes or furniture. When I have traveled telepathically to the soul of the emotions that were trapped there, I have sometimes been able to release those trapped emotions by helping the soul connected with those emotions face those events which precipitated the emotions and release them or resolve them. I say sometimes because not always are people and souls ready to face those events which elicited those powerful emotions!

Maybe you are one who is ready to go through the door. Hurray for you!! I admonish you to go for it!! The past cannot hurt you unless you allow it to hamper your present and your future!! Face that door. You may require a qualified therapist or it may be something that I can assist you in resolving. Either way, I encourage you to face those doors that are keeping you from moving forward in your life.

It is a new day!! Hurray for you for going through those doors and putting to rest all those things that are holding you back!

Soup

I have been taking a little break from my blogs, due to a bit of overload lately. As you know if you keep up with my blogs, I work a full time job and do weddings and healings on my days off and sometimes after working a full day at the Post Office. I have also stepped up my learning processes with my guides, who have been honing my skills in the tarot and channelling and my shamanic healing work. Recently also my guides have been leading me into venturing into past life regressions. A lot of the processes are similar to what I have already been doing, and I have found that sometimes in the middle of what I think is going to be a past life regression, I am led to retrieve a part of a client's soul that is stuck in another lifetime. Once during a healing, I was shown one of the cards of the tarot to indicate to me exactly what area to focus on. It seems my healing work has become a soup of sorts, with all the ingredients of the soup coming to the forefront as necessary. Sometimes I need to focus on chopping up the carrots, for example, while the meat and the onions are left to simmer in the pot.

I know from doing house clearings that often pieces of souls remain stuck in a dwelling in which something happened in the home which caused them a great deal of emotional trauma. I have learned that our souls don't just remain in times or places just because we were there. Only if we have had unresolved emotional events do our souls become stuck. This can happen in this life or another lifetime. If we find ourselves with sicknesses we can't explain, a feeling of being lost or out of sorts, pains in our bodies that are undiagnosed, issues that seem to keep reoccurring over and over with different people or different scenarios, then unresolved issues from the past may be a clue to our healing.

With all the talk lately of the energies of this month being so strong and that we are in a time of a sort of upgrade of our energy bodies, I wanted to encourage you to settle into the new energies and don't worry if you don't feel anything right away. You might feel the opposite of what you think you are supposed to feel. You may feel like you want to take a break from your spiritual practice instead of forging ahead into unknown territory. This is sort of a reboot. It is okay. Your life may take a tumultuous turn for the worse for awhile. Sometimes when your vibrations change significantly it takes a while for the life and the people who are in your life to adjust to your new energies. And sometimes they may not adjust, which may cause some painful changes. This is also okay. Everyone is on their own path, and you are not responsible to drag your loved ones kicking and screaming into  the new vibration.

With the example of the soup, I encourage you to look at your life as if you were preparing a soup. Sometime we spend too much time on one ingredient and neglect the others. It is a juggling sometimes of all the parts of our lives and understanding that each ingredient in the soup of our lives need different times to cook and become a part of the finished product. While one ingredient is cooking, we may be focusing on something else. And then some of the ingredients get thrown in right before the soup is finished. Don't be hard on yourself if you are not in sync with those around you. With the changes in the vibrations, this is to be expected. We are all ingredients in the Cosmic Soup. We are all cooking at our own pace. Some of us are being chopped into little pieces so that we will be the proper size and portion to fit into the Soup.

Don't worry. The world is not coming to an end. Some may be experiencing an end to the world that they have known, only so that a new one can be revealed. And it is all good. Allow yourself time to simmer so that your own Divine Soup can be revealed.

Adventures in Healing

Yesterday I was privileged to be a practice patient for a good friend of mine who is in school getting certified to do energy healing. She is already a wonderful reiki master teacher but this just adds to her qualifications. So she needed a practice patient and I volunteered.

I will first say that I went with no expectations. In my mind I had no issues to confront, other than my tendency to over extend myself. I have been a bit burned out, but I keep pushing myself on and on. There is always something to learn, something to teach, someone that needs healing or comfort or advice, or someone to join in marriage, not to mention my full time job. To my surprise this issue did not even come up, until the end when Spirit said to me that I need to rest. Yes I know.

To my surprise when she did  my energy assessment my issues had to do with my throat chakra. What? I give messages from Spirit. I teach spiritual classes. I would have thought that my throat chakra would be wide open. Well, Joy, when are you not speaking up for yourself? Are you telling the people you love what you need?

What a revelation. That someone like me who continually is listening to Spirit and giving messages may have trouble speaking up and voicing my own needs. So I thought that maybe if I have trouble with this that there are most likely more people out there who may benefit from my discovery.

Those of us with spiritual aspirations may have a tendency to put aside our own needs with the noble intention of helping someone else with their needs. But at some point our own needs have to be addressed! If someone is continually expecting us to solve their problems, to heal them emotionally, to hear from Spirit for them, or even to fulfill some empty place inside themselves, there comes a point when a healer has to say, okay, now it is time to learn to listen to Spirit for yourself. Spirit wishes to communicate with us directly.

It seems a trend in the medical world that it is okay to keep people addicted to medical treatment. This assures that the doctors will have repeat customers. Keep them drugged up and coming back. Don't address the real needs that will cause them to not need to come back to the doctor anymore. Not so with my kind of work.I want the people who come to me to experience healing after the first visit. I do have repeat clients because there are many layers to healing. But at some point it is time to take personal responsibility for our healing process. No, after one session you will not be cured of stage four cancer. Or maybe you will. But hopefully you will be in a place where you can face whatever it is you are facing with more of a sense of self empowerment.

One of my specialties is reuniting people with their Power Animals. Power Animals are Spirit helpers who come to us in animal spirit form. Usually the Power Animal that comes to us is one whose qualities we may be missing in our lives. For example, I recovered a Mother Bear with two cubs for my daughter. At the time she only had one child, but this Bear came to me with two cubs. Obviously Spirit knew that she would have two children and that she needed some extra- ordinary help with the task of raising children. Mother bears are known to be very good mothers, and extremely protective of their cubs. When we are united with a Power Animal, it is our own job to connect with the power of our spirit animal and access the help it is there to offer.

My purpose for sharing my experience is to ignite within each of you the idea that yes, help is out there. Issues that are buried are known to Spirit and at the right time will come to be faced. Are there issues within you that are  not being addressed? Are you not voicing your needs to those with whom you share your life? It is time for us to face those things that need to be faced and to move forward in the business of experiencing our lives to the fullest extent. Even to those of us who think we have our lives completely figured out, there are things still to work on, issues to face, mountains to climb. Life is an adventure!! Let us be willing to open ourselves up to some real work, and get on with the business of living.
