Interesting Times…. (Time Sensitive)

We are living in interesting times, and the times we are going through can be stressful and frightening for people. Stressful for most people. More stressful for those who are energetically sensitive. More stressful yet for psychic empaths

So I’m going to be talking about how to deal with these interesting times.

Not quite two weeks from tonight, on Wednesday night (2/15/17), I’ll be appearing from 8-9 pm on the New Normal with Tchipakkan on http://liveparanormal.com/

We’ll be talking about simple and practical ways to deal with the stressful and jangled energy of the times we’re living in. How to find and keep your own center. How to keep from being overwhelmed by the jangled or negative energy around you. How to make a difference without becoming part of the negative energy yourself

Want to catch this interview, call in with your own questions or be part of the live chat happening during every show?

If you just want to listen, you can go to the above site, click the “Listen Live and Chat” listing under the “radio-listen/chat room” heading, and click “LISTEN HERE” next to “the New Normal”.

If you want to chat, you’ll need to go to the top of the home page on the extreme right and click “Join” to set up a personal account (it’s free but takes a few moments, so you might want to do this in advance)

There are provisions for listeners to phone in with questions, too.

And, if you can’t tune in at that time, Live Paranormal.com archives its shows for your listening at a time convenient to you.

Hope you can join me on 2/15/17 from 8-9 at the New Normal on liveparanormal.com

Clearing Your Tools- Do It Again

We’ve talked a lot about clearing your metaphysical tools. We’ve talked about clearing your tools with

• visualization
• energy
• salt
• fire
• air
• earth
• water
• moonlight
• sunlight
• and intention.

We’ve talked how important it is to clear your tools when you first get them, in order to clear away and negative or unwanted energy that they may have picked up before you got or made them, and get them ready for you to work with.

There’s one more thing we should touch on before winding up this series on clearing your tools.

You don’t just do it once.

Sure you want to clear them before you start working with new tools, to clear out old energies and make room for the energies you want to work with to come in; but you also want to clear your tools as needed on a regular basis, to clear them of anything they may have picked up as you went along.

Maybe you were in a bad mood one day, and part of that mood holed up in your wand. Maybe you have someone extremely bouncy living with you, and now your drum just winds you up. Maybe the crystal that you keep in your work space is picking up the stress of your cubicle mate

So clear when you start out, but remember to do some maintenance as you go along too (especially if it starts to get harder to move energy around)

Get clear and get moving

Filling Your Bucket- Talk To Your Inner Child

As I’ve said in previous posts, the vibrational level of your energetic field varies. It goes higher. It goes lower; and , whether high or low, tends to attract things, people or experiences into your life that are a match for your vibrational level at the moment.(Energies in the basement= attract more Brussels sprouts. Energies soaring- attract more hot fudge sundaes.)

There are lots of things that affect our energetic level, such as health, stress and the folks we hang out with. The easiest method to raise that energy up is to take responsibility for our own happiness. To nurture ourselves. To be aware of when we’re feeling drained and to fill our buckets ourselves

Unfortunately. many of us have gotten out of touch with what  makes us happy and what we can do ourselves to get there.

One great way of getting back in touch is to talk to your inner child.

Find a time when you’re free of distractions and interruptions. Turn off your phone. Send your family to the movies.

Settle yourself in a comfortable position, arms and legs uncrossed so nothing “goes to sleep”. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. And picture yourself as a child.

What does that child look like? Is he tense/ relaxed/confident/afraid/hurting/ happy?

Ask that child what things you can do to help him or her feel happy, safe and free.

Then listen. and remember…

When you take a deep breath and come back to the physical world, write down the ideas and impressions that you got. Some will be immediately clear. Some may lead you in helpful directions if you let them rest and then look them over again.

and make sure that you do something nice for yourself as soon as possible

to fill your bucket….

Clearing Your Tools-Air

We’ve talked about clearing your tools with intention, with sun and moonlight, with water and with earth. Let’s talk about using another element for clearing- lets talk about air.

The best way to clear energy with air is the use of sound. There are lots of ways that you can smudge an object or a space with sound. You can:

• chant or tone,
• drum,
• use other percussion instruments, such as rattles,
• clap your hands or stomp your feet,
• use a singing bowl,
• or pretty much any other kind of sound that you chose.

The basics of smudging with sound are:

• position the object or yourself so the sound gets into every part of the tool or space. This may mean that you position yourself so that you can bathe the tool in sound from all sides or that you have to move around the object or space so you get every part of it.
• set an intention that the sound will clear your tool of any energy that is unnecessary, dysfunctional or harmful and that energy will be disposed of safely or recycled into something positive.
• be aware that, in the process of clearing with sound, some of the sounds may be unpleasant or unharmonious. Roll with that.
• Listen to your body and your inner wisdom for cues on when you may make the sound louder or softer, spend more time on a section, or change the rhythm or pitch of your sound.
• Places where the sound suddenly changes (quieter/softer/muddy)are places where there is stuck energy and extra sound is needed.

When the sound sounds right and you feel like the energy is good, your tool is cleared.

Clearing Your Tools- Water

Another way to clear your tools of unwanted energy is to use water. Water works well from a number of reasons.

• It’s one of the four elements.
• It’s fluid and  flexible.
• It’s powerful (given long enough, a drip of water can wear away rock.)
• And, when we think of cleaning, we tend to think of water, and that symbolic link makes it good for energetic cleansing as well.

There are a number of ways to use water to clear a tool energetically. Two of the better ones are

• You can put it in a container filled with water to soak, setting the intention that the unwanted energy will release into the water and you can discard it later, or
• You can hold the object under running water, setting the intention that the unwanted energy will be washed away and return to the earth to be transformed into something beneficial.

It’s important to note that some items can be damaged by water

• Some crystals are soluble and can dissolve in water
• Some other items, such as ones made of paper, may dissolve

If there’s any question whether a tool might by damaged by water, you would want to use a different method for clearing its energy

More ways to clear tools are coming…

Clearing Your Tools- Sunlight and Moonlight

Whether you’ve got a metaphysical tool that’s picked up some energy you don’t want to hold on to, or whether it’s a new tool and you don’t know what it’s already carrying, you’re gonna want to clear your tools of unwanted energy

One way to do that is with sunlight or moonlight.

Natural light, especially when paired with an appropriate intention has a great deal of power for clearing out that negative energy. Some people will leave a tool in the sunlight or moonlight for 24 hours, others prefer a full solar or lunar cycle.

Find a place where you can leave tools so that they are exposed to sun or moonlight but still safe and private. Some folks like to leave them outside- I usually put crystals and other items in the bathroom window on the back of my house, where they can take the sun without someone else helping themselves to them

When your tool has had its sun bath, pick it up, close your eyes and pay attention. How does it feel- does it feel clear and open to you, or is it still buzzing with excess unwanted or negative energy? Sometimes tools may need additional time to clear.

More ways to clear tools are coming…

Filling Your Bucket- Make a Date

We know that, when our vibrational level is higher, we tend to attract better people, things and experiences into our lives.

We know that nurturing ourselves is one way to fill our buckets and raise our vibrational levels.

And still, many times, we forget to do it.

So, what’s up with that?

Most of us are raised with beliefs that work against nurturing ourselves

• Don’t be selfish.
• Work before play.
• Put others before yourself.
• Don’t be lazy

Now, there’s truth and value in all of these beliefs, but they completely overlook that we also need to take care of ourselves. To nurture ourselves. To do things that make us happy. To laugh and rest and fool around.

And that, when we don’t nurture ourselves, when we don’t fill our own buckets, sooner or later we burn out.

We need to put ourselves on our own lists. To give self nurturing the same value that we do working hard or taking care of others.

One way to do that is to make a date with yourself

• write “Shopping trip” on your calendar
• put “meditation” in your date book
• record your favorite shows

Make a firm commitment, preferably in writing, of what you’re gonna do and when you’re gonna do it to fill your bucket

and then keep that date…

Clearing Your Tools- A Quick List of Options

In my 9/24 post (Clearing Your Tools) I talked about how you need to clear unwanted energy from tools and items that you are working with metaphysically. Let’s start with a quick laundry list of different methods.

You can use:

• Sunlight or moonlight
• Water
• Earth
• Salt
• Visualization
• Energy

Which method is best? They all are and none of them are. Each method has it’s strengths  and weaknesses, and which one you chose depends on things like

• The nature of the item you’re clearing
• How much time you have
• and, of course, which techniques you prefer.

I’ll be going into that more in upcoming posts.

See you then

Filling Your Bucket- Listen To Your Body

We’ve been talking about the things that fill our buckets and raise our energy levels, and the things that drain us; but how do you figure out what does which?

One way is to listen to your body…

 

Think about it. What does your body feel like when you’re happy and energized? Think about

• Your posture
• How alert you are
• The expression on your face
• How good you feel- do you have aches and pains?
• Your breathing
• How your voice sounds
• and other things like this

I find when I’m energized, my posture is better, there’s a smile on my face, I’m more relaxed, my voice is more melodious and I’m jazzed up and looking around for what’s interesting in the world around  me.

The same holds true for what you feel like when you’re drained and down. Check

• Your posture
• How alert you are
• The expression on your face
• How good you feel- do you have aches and pains?
• Your breathing
• How your voice sounds
• and other things like that

When I’m drained, I’m tired, sleepy and unmotivated. My head and body ache, I whine slightly and I just want to hide from the world.

Your mileage may vary, but you’ll also have your own special signs for when your bucket is filling up or draining out. Once you’re aware of the signs, you can watch for them and use them to identify the activities that fill your bucket and the ones that drain you.

Knowing this can help you make choices that make your life better
