Your Way Is The Right Way
Spirit Story for the week, "Do whatever helps you get in the zone.”
The number one question I get asked by my clients is 'how' to connect with their guides/god/divine/source (whatever you want to call it).
And, I never have an easy answer.
Oh, how I wish I did!
Learning 'how' to tap into your intuition, meet your spirit guides, and receive your own messages...is different for everyone.
Meditation is a tool that can speed up the process, but traditional meditation does NOT work for everyone.
This is when people become frustrated with themselves...or they think they are doing something wrong.
I get this!
We have this image of people meditating, don't we?
You know--just someone sitting by candlelight with soft music playing in the background, breathing (while smiling peacefully), and hearing crystal clear messages from the heavens above. ❤
Oh, like the pic I attached to this post?

Yeah, kind of like THAT!
Only, I wasn't meditating in this pic. I was sitting in the grass afraid the ants were crawling up my skirt while my daughter told me to 'look peaceful'.
HAHAHA!!
Funny thing is...meditating looks differently for everyone. And, connecting to the higher realms? Well, that just takes good old fashioned practice.
So, you are not doing anything wrong if you shut your eyes and DON'T start seeing earth shattering visions!
It can take years to figure out what works for YOU.
I can't stress this enough..there is no right or wrong way to relax, to meditate, or to connect to your Soul and/or higher powers.
I have clients that go sit under a tree in their backyard with a joint in one hand and a shot of whiskey in another.
This is how they relax and let go. This is how sacred messages come through for them.
Is this wrong? Absolutely not!
The 'how' doesn't matter.
I have other clients that receive insights ONLY in the shower. Awesome. That works!
You don't need to be eating kale and only organic foods to 'connect' to your spirit animals.
Trust me.
I have clients that drink mountain dew and listen to Linkin Park to relax. This is when their intuition is the sharpest.
Fabulous!!
I have other clients that have to be loaded up with essential oils, listening to Native American flute music, while holding onto dozens of stones/crystals in order to 'connect'...cool!
Some of my clients need to crank the tunes and go for a drive to get clear. Yay!
Others simply go for a walk and have Spirits shouting in their ears. 😄
Some of my clients need to dance it out, write it out, paint it out, or do something else that they love to get them into “the zone”.
Fucking great!
And still, I have other clients that don't need to be doing anything at all to receive sacred messages from the other side.
Information flows to these clients anytime, anywhere, with no rhyme or reason. It's random and unexpected.
Some of my clients are dream psychics. They go to bed and somehow, their ancestors, deceased animals, and spirit guides are able to contact them.
It just is their Way. We ALL have our Way.
Don't rush it.
Don't feel bad if 'nothing happens' right away.
The ONE thing I can tell you is that it can take practice for those of us that don't just instantly receive messages/signs/symbols.
The good news?
If you consistently set an intention to connect, YOU WILL over time.
Eventually, information will be offered in a way that only you understand.
The signs and symbols will become familiar. There will be patterns.
You will begin to understand who, what, and 'how' your unique intuition works.
So, take the pressure off of yourself!
You are doing just fine!
And, please don't compare yourself to others.
This is YOUR journey.
It is individual.
It is powerful.
It is special.
You will find your Way.
Trust yourself and don't you ever EVER give up!"

What Are You Growing?
Spirit's Story For The Week, "Be careful what you grow."
Every day, I ask myself the same question: What am I growing in my relationships?
In the beginning of my marriage, I was very insecure.
Like the kind of insecure that you don't want to talk about.
The ugly kind.
The kind that makes you question your own sanity on a daily basis.
My jealousy was simply out of control.
I compared myself to every other woman on the planet.
And, god freaking forbid if my husband even looked at another female in my presence.
My perceptions of what was happening right before my eyes was DEEPLY skewed because of years of abuse and my struggle with anorexia.
So, it didn't matter if my husband just glanced at an attractive woman...my mind instantly went to this false reality where I just KNEW he would cheat on me.
Why? Well, I had never not been cheated on.
I had never had a man want to 'stay' with me.
I had never had a man not lie to me.
I had never had someone just fucking love me for me- and not my body.
And, if they did? I wouldn't believe them anyway!
I was famous for driving men away. I had to always be the one to run first.
Until, my husband.
Those first two years of our marriage sucked. Yep.
I pointed out everything he was doing wrong.
In some twisted way, this was how I protected myself if he ever did decide to leave.
I could say, 'well, that's because he did this, or that.'
Staying constantly angry and hyper focused on what was NOT going well almost ended our marriage even before it began.
Not that my husband was perfect. He wasn’t- as we all have our own “stuff”.
We were both wounded in different ways. His way of dealing with something was by not dealing with it. Facing issues was not comfortable. The weather was. When things got bad, we talked about the weather.
Still (back then), I was chronically pissed at men.
At myself.
At the world.
At myself.
At the world.
Yes, the sexual abuse, rape, and domestic violence didn't help--but I took things to the extreme.
I am still surprised my new husband didn't just pack up in those first few months and run far, far away.
ALL the energy I put into our relationship (at first) was negative.
I had zero trust in anyone, but my children.
In fact, I think I only began to REALLY trust my husband this year. Yes, over a decade later! Sounds awful to say that, but it's my truth.
I'm owning this. I think it's difficult to trust if you feel emotionally unsafe all the time.
Thing is, no one can make you feel safe but YOU.
I didn't understand this for years, though, and all of my relationships suffered.
So even though my husband didn't hurt me, he didn't always stand up for me either.
This felt like the worst kind of betrayal.
I would scream, "I need just one man to protect me in my life!"
Sadly, my old habit of retreating into spiked armor didn't break until my husband finally DID stand up for me.
Through LOTS AND LOTS of Shamanic healing, I realized the problem I had with trust wasn't my husband's fault.
It was about me--and how my past experiences were cancelling out every GOOD thing in our relationship.
I was the one 'growing' all the wrong stuff.
I was growing the past. Over and over.
I didn't nurture us.
Always assuming the worst before it even happened hardened the dirt beneath our feet.
I was growing resentment instead of trust.
Anger instead of openness.
Pain instead of love.
Fear instead of safety.
Anger instead of openness.
Pain instead of love.
Fear instead of safety.
If I wanted trust to grow, I had to pay attention to what I DID trust about my husband. About all the people in my life.
I knew I had to grow a different kind of love.
I had to pour my energy into what was GREAT about my husband. I had to focus on what he was doing right! Which was a LOT.
I had to remember what made me fall in love with him in the first place.
I was so caught up in how he "might" hurt me that I stopped seeing all the genuine beauty in him.
In us.
The more I focused on what I loved about him, the more our healthy LOVE GREW.
We grew.
I spent years staying stagnant in fear because some guy kicked my ass 25 years ago.
It's not my husband's job to make me feel secure.
Or, loved.
Or, even happy.
It's not his job to heal me.
Or, loved.
Or, even happy.
It's not his job to heal me.
It's mine.
And, I've chosen to grow that.
