Live WITH Spirit and WITHOUT Rules!

 I never liked rules.

Let me restate that.

I hate rules!

In fact, I have fought my entire life against any force that may even mildly threaten my wild, free-spirit!

What I have discovered as I explore my own spirituality, more and more, is that there should be no rules about how to live a spiritual life.

No right or wrong Way.

Being you IS being spiritual.

It’s something you already are.

To me, spirituality is a feeling of interconnectedness that is evoked by finding things that work for you in your daily life.

You can be a strict Catholic, devout Buddhist or extreme atheist…and live a beautiful, spiritual life.
No one, other than yourself, is in charge of how your Soul sparkles in this life!

You can smoke a pack a day, have a diet solely consisting of meat and potatoes, swear like a truck driver and STILL be happily connected to your inner light!

How you connect to your spiritual self doesn’t matter.

All that matters is if you have found YOUR Way to feel a wholeness in your being.

You don’t have to be a meditating, organic-eating, hot Yoga practicing, chanting guru, living off of the earth with no material wealth to be spiritual. 

You can be a diamond loving diva with a passion for Louis Vuitton handbags. (Ummm, cough, like me!)

Or you can be someone living in a broken down shack in the beautiful forest.

If you have found a good Way to live a life of love, laughter and kindness; you ARE spiritual- living a spiritual life!

What you look like, have or have not accomplished, what you believe or HOW you do it- is secondary to what you feel inside.

If you feel happy then there ya go! BOOM!

You are one of the more fortunate people living on this precious earth that has found a brilliant way to connect to your Soul’s natural rhythm.

Cool!

Being spiritual is about finding your own Way.

What brings you closer to a state of health, abundance and happiness?

For some, this could be chopping wood outside or blaring the tunes while taking a long drive.

Or maybe, it’s drinking a double espresso cappuccino on an autumn afternoon.

If you are feeling a connection with yourself, you are living with Spirit.

It isn’t about having a to-do list of full of certain techniques, exercises, or rituals.

How can we define whether a person is spiritual or not based upon what we ‘think’ it to be?

Spirituality is so ever-changing, ebbing and flowing like the currents of the wind.

It isn’t a stagnant concept.

Part of honoring your spirit is growing, shifting and allowing ourselves not to have to do things a certain way every day.  

This is where not having rules involved with a spiritual practice is important.

Rules put pressure on us.

If we break our own rules (for example eating that Big Mac if we are a Vegan), we end up feeling shame and guilt.

Following a practice of some kind is wonderful, but there must be room for movement.

Guidance is great, but a person must be willing to customize, alter and enhance their spiritual ways if they are having a bad day or it doesn’t speak to them any longer.

I always tell my clients, if it doesn’t resonate with your Soul, don’t do it!

Wearing bohemian clothing, dancing in the woods under the moonlight and protesting for peace does NOT in itself make you spiritual.

You can enjoy a lifestyle of riches, wear and eat whatever you want, live in your parent's basement or the Beverly Hills!

You can drink two glasses of red wine, or two cups of tea!

You can smoke a joint, or light some incense (or none of the above!) and STILL be a spiritual person living a 'spiritual' life.

I am a Shamanic healer that loves glitz and glamour. I swear like a truck driver when I’m mad, eat anything from Ramen to Whole Foods and love my BMW and mountain home.

I wear anything I want, and some days, my so-called 'spiritual' practice and words of wisdom fly out the fucking window!

Being spiritual, for me, is being me at all times!

On the good, bad, up, down and all around days.

Accepting myself, loving myself so that I can give freely to others is how I live a spiritual life.

I journey to alternate realms in the Spirit world every day, but that doesn’t make me more or less spiritual than someone who does not do this.

My Way is not your way.

Your Way is not my way.

By living our deepest truths, we are instantly ‘spiritual’.

People try to achieve being whole; body, mind and spirit.

How to achieve this seems to be a great area of exploration, research and debate.

We are sold other people’s beliefs that If we do ‘this or that’, our enlightenment will happen faster.

What I have learned is that being whole is being you.

When you are you, you are inviting your body, mind and Soul to be one with the love inside of yourself.

However you do this is up to YOU!

I can still love to shop till I drop, not be perfect, AND live the most miraculous, spiritual life ever!

Find a Way to love yourself and you will share this love from your Soul with the Universe.

This is living a life of love.

This is living a life of forgiveness.

This is living a life gratitude.

Just allow yourself to be exactly you.

Do what works for you without the pressure of what you ‘think’ works for other spiritual people.

Some people are promoting an ‘image’ of a spiritual person, but they aren’t sincerely feeling and living a life of gentle love and compassion.

So, It doesn’t matter how many crystal necklaces you wear, or how many white (or pink, or green, or blue…) candles you light, if you aren’t feeling good on the inside, looking like your ‘spiritual’ doesn’t matter!

Discovering your own healing tools and putting them into your healing basket is all that matters--not how you cleanse your aura or balance your chakras!

Although, I am an energy healer, you don’t have to believe in any of that!

Respect for your personal choices and the support for how you want to live a spiritual, or non-spiritual life is what I offer you today.

This is your life. Live it how you want.

Do you, and I’ll do me, and we will live a life WITH spirit and WITHOUT rules together!
