Removing Obstructions - Allowing Our Light To Shine

Daily OM: There are times when we may not feel at our best and brightest. At those times we can take a look at what we might do to let our inner light shine to the fullest. Because we are physical, mental and spiritual beings, we need to determine where our spiritual light is being filtered or blocked. We can work from the outside inward, knowing that we are the only ones with the power to dim our lights, and as we clear away the layers we can get out of our own way to feel the warmth of our own… Continue

The Heart Of Humanity - Sitting With Our Sadness

Daily OM: The last thing most of us want to hear or think about when we are dealing with profound feelings of sadness is that deep learning can be found in this place. In the midst of our pain, we often feel picked on by life, or overwhelmed by the enormity of some loss, or simply too exhausted to try and examine the situation. We may feel far too disappointed and angry to look for anything resembling a bright side to our suffering. Still, somewhere in our hearts, we know that we will eventually… Continue

If Only - Locating The Underlying Cause

Daily OM: Often, when we’re unhappy, we fall into the habit of thinking that, if only one or two particular things in our life would change, everything would be fine. We might focus on the fact that we need a new car, or a raise, or a change in our living situation. We dwell on this one thing and strategize, or complain, or daydream about what it would be like to have it. Meanwhile, underneath the surface, the real reason for our unhappiness sits unrecognized and unaddressed. And yet, if we are… Continue

The Weather Of Transition - Springtime And Teenagers

Daily OM: The season spring has long been used as a metaphor for unpredictability, with its transitional energy shifting from cold one day to hot the next. Wind and rain are hallmarks of spring, and they leave us feeling shaken up and unsettled as they sweep away the debris of past seasons, clearing the way for new growth. Rainbows follow on the heels of rainstorms, and the sun emerges, coaxing tight buds to finally soften and blossom forth into the world. With the arrival of summer, things sett… Continue

Creating A Harmonious Home - A Home Of Love

Daily OM: At their best, our homes act as our sanctuaries. They are the nests we return to for rest and nurturing nourishment before we venture out once again to spread our wings and fly. But there are times that we may feel quite differently about our homes—times when we feel surrounded by turmoil rather than harmony, or mired in chaos rather than immersed in peace. It is at these times that we have the power to decide to bring more love into our homes. When we choose love, we are choosing to… Continue

Beyond Behavior - Defense Mechanisms

Daily OM: We all have defense mechanisms that we’ve developed over time, often without being aware of it. In times of trouble, the behaviors that have worked to get us past challenges with the least amount of pain are the ones that we repeat; even when part of us knows they no longer work. Such behavior is a natural response from our mental and physical aspects. But because we are spiritual beings as well, we have the ability to rise above habits and patterns to see the truth that lay beyond. An… Continue

Graceful Guidance - Working With Angels

Daily OM: At some point in our lives, we are likely to find ourselves asking for help, perhaps from no one in particular, and without knowing where help could possibly come from. We may have raised our eyes skyward or whispered our need under our breath only to find that somehow we were heard, and the help we needed arrived. It might have come in the form of a person who appeared at the right time, or perhaps it came in the form of luck, chance, or divine intervention. However assistance appears… Continue

Letting Nature Work - Silent Change

Daily OM: We all see things about ourselves, our relationships, and our world that we want to change. Often, this desire leads us to take action toward inner work that we need to do or toward some external goal. Sometimes, without any big announcement or momentous shift, we wake up to find that change has happened, seemingly without us. This can feel like a miracle as we suddenly see that our self-esteem really does seem to be intact, or our partner actually is helping out around the house more.… Continue

The Direction Of Happiness - Leaving A Relationship

Daily OM: One of the hardest decisions we ever make in life is leaving a long-term relationship that just isn’t working. When attempts at repairing and working out issues aren’t working, it may be time to examine moving on. We are emotional creatures, and when our heartstrings are tied to those of another, separating from that person can feel like an act of courage. It is not something most of us will take lightly, and many of us will struggle with our desire to stay in a relationship that is un… Continue

Analyzing The Path - Recognizing Happiness

Daily OM: Those of us on the path of personal and spiritual growth have a tendency to analyze our unhappiness in order to find the causes and make improvements. But it is just as important, if not more so, to analyze our happiness. Since we have the ability to rise above and observe our emotions, we can recognize when we are feeling joyful and content. Then we can harness the power of the moment by savoring our feelings and taking time to be grateful for them. Recognition is the first step in c… Continue

Repressing The Inner Voice - Giving Away Power

Daily OM: In many ways, we are taught from the time we are children to give away our power to others. When we were told to kiss and hug relatives or friends of the family when we didn’t want to, for example, we were learning to override our inner sense of knowing and our right to determine for ourselves what we want to do. This repression continued, most likely, in many experiences at school and in situations at work. At this point, we may not even know how to hold on to our power, because givin… Continue

The Gift Inside - Life Packaging

Daily OM: We have all had the experience of encountering someone whose life seems so completely different from ours that we can almost imagine we have nothing in common. However, if we go deeper into observing, we will see that we all have the same things going on in our lives. It is as if our different lives are in essence the same gift, wrapped in an infinite variety of containers, wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows. Everybody experiences loss, grief, happiness, excitement, anger, and fear. Eve… Continue

Asking And Receiving - Prayer And Meditation

Daily OM: Prayer and meditation are similar practices in that they both offer us a connection to the divine, but they also differ from one another in significant ways. Put simply, prayer is when we ask the universe for something, and meditation is when we listen. When we pray, we use language to express our innermost thoughts and feelings to a higher power. Sometimes, we plumb the depths within ourselves and allow whatever comes to the surface to flow out in our prayer. At other times, we pray w… Continue

Conscious Creation - The First Moments Of The Day

Daily OM: The moment during the day when we very first open our eyes and come into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all that comes after it, like the opening scene in a film or novel. At this moment, our ability to create the day is at its most powerful, and we can offer ourselves fully to the creative process by filling this moment with whatever inspires us most. It may be that we want to be more generous, or it may be that we want to be more open to beauty in our d… Continue

Potlatch - Encouraging Generosity

Daily OM: We can learn much from the Native American tradition of the potlatch. It is a tradition that values generosity above all else, and a potlatch, which is a very grand ceremony, is an exercise in giving away material possessions, food, and money. It is not uncommon for the host of a potlatch to give away so much of his own resources to his guests that he ends up with nothing. However, he can regain his wealth by attending potlatches at which he is a guest. In this way, a potlatch validate… Continue

Going Back By Going Within - Healing Childhood Wounds

Daily OM: Events from childhood, our first experiences, have the power to shape our lives. Some do so immediately, offering us challenges to overcome and encouragement to make use of our talents and interests. In the process character is built, and we make the first steps upon our personal paths. Other events seem to lay dormant until adulthood, when our closest relationships help to bring out the deepest aspects of ourselves. This is when unexamined lessons can be put to use and untended childh… Continue

Solace In Service - Doing For Others

Daily OM: When we feel bad, often our first instinct is to isolate ourselves and focus on what’s upsetting us. Sometimes we really do need some downtime, but many times the best way to get out of the blues quickly is to turn our attention to other people. In being of service to others, paradoxically, we often find answers to our own questions and solutions to our own problems. We also end up feeling more connected to the people around us, as well as empowered by the experience of helping someone… Continue

Reiki Master

I'm on my way to Reiki Master!! I'll be getting my Master Attunement in the next 24 hours, and I'm pretty excited about it.

aura reading

I had my first aura picture/reading done this weekend. It was very interesting. I wasn't expecting the results I recieved. I knew about the 2 guides, but when it came to the layers of angels and ancestors, and elementals. I had no idea. I had alot of pink, yellow, and green. my body color was red/orange. I'd love any information anyone has on auras. I know that I have to do work on mine, but it was alot better than I thought. How do we get so many layers of angels around us? I was told I've g…

The Holistic Festival is this weekend at the Gabraltor Trade Center in Mt Clemens. I'm soooo excited. There are so many new things I'll be looking for. If anyone is going to have a booth let me know so I can stop in there. I'll be looking for essential oils, base oils, base lotions, (I know they have pure shea butter always there), crystals, and maybe a reading even. I hope to see some of you there.

Blessings

I just wanted everyone to know how appreciated they are! As I was saying on a blog earlier I've been so blessed lately to have so many things come into my life as of recently, but most important are the people that come into our lives. There is such a great feeling that comes from being able to share, and help others on this amazing journey. If someone would've told me 20 years ago I'd be a Reiki practitioner I'd have told you to drop the hooch. Back then I was more into ghosts, as I'd alread…

Book Recommendation: Getting a Clean and Green Start to the New Year

As I am setting my new intentions and renewing old intentions for the coming years, I have found myself clearing clutter and cleaning. I am renewing my committment to using non-toxic cleaners and I’d like to recommend the book, “Clean House, Clean Planet”, by Karen Logan. It’s got great recipies for non-toxic cleaners, comments on the ingredients in off-the-shelf cleaners and a break-down of what each recipe costs to create. It’s great to have as a reference book and it’s also interesing enou…

Boji stones

I went to Crystal Pathways yesterday to take a look/feel around. Everyone there is always so nice and helpful. Anyways, I was curious as to what a Boji stone was, and they were nice enough to not only show me the stone,but let me feel it. I NEED ONE!!!! I've never felt that much vibe off a stone. I've had some strong vibes off certain stones, but never anything like this. The man was asking what I felt and I wasn't sure what to say. I was trying to be calm about it, but as soon as I got them my… Continue

I hope my achievements in life shall be these---

that I will have fought for what was right and fair, that I will have risked for that which mattered,

that I will have given help to those who were in need...

that I will have left the earth a better place

for what I've done and who I've been.

I've Learned...

I've learned-

That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.

Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned-

That no matter how bad your heart is broken

the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned-

That our background and circumstances

may have influenced who we are,

but ultimately we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned-

That just because two people argue,

So happy!

Well, last night I got my daughter started with her first crystals. I had bought her a goldstone a couple of years ago that she loved,but now she's got a good start with some smaller stones. She loves them almost as much as I do. She's been asking me about them and the names and stuff so I thought I'd get her started. She will be 11 soon, and if she was able to keep track of one stone in a huge move then I'm pretty sure she'll be ok. I made sure she had a cusioned box for them too. Well have…

Numerology: The Energy of a New Year

I received an e-mail recently that pointed out some interesting numerology for the beginning of 2008.

1/1/2008 breaks down to 1/1/1 (2+8=10 which is a 1 vibration).

1/11/2008 breaks down to 1/11/1.

The number one is often seen as a symbol of new beginnings and I’ve decided to use that symbolism to my advantage this year. am planning to spend the first 11 days of 2008 visualizing and setting my intentions for the next 11 years.

About me

I've been learing over the last few (9-10) years about different beliefs, but not too serious about it. That is until a couple of years ago. Over the last 2 years there have been numerous physical and emotional traumas that I've had to find a way to live with. The only thing I've found to help with any of it is my spirituality, and the belief that it's not all for nothing. I've had experiences with the "otherside" since I was young. It seems that it's a family thing. Some of my family members ar… Continue
