Pamela Colman Smith – The Visionary Behind the Modern Tarot 5:01

5 weeks ago5:01

5:01

Continuing our celebration of remarkable women in history, today we honor Pamela Colman Smith —the artist and mystic whose visionary illustrations brought the Rider-Waite Tarot to life. Though often overshadowed by her male contemporaries, Pamela’s work revolutionized Tarot, infusing each card with rich symbolism and intuitive depth. Her legacy lives on in every reading, every seeker’s journey, and every moment of insight drawn from her iconic deck. Who Was Pamela Colman Smith? Born in 1878 in England and raised partly in Jamaica, Pamela’s life was a tapestry of artistic inspiration and esoteric knowledge. She studied at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she honed her skills as an illustrator and storyteller. But her true calling emerged when she became deeply involved in the occult world, joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—a secret society devoted to mystical and magical studies. It was through this connection that she met Arthur Edward Waite, who commissioned her to illustrate what would become the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck in 1909. With her deep understanding of symbolism, color, and archetypal storytelling, she created a deck that transformed Tarot into an accessible, intuitive tool for seekers of all backgrounds. A Mystical Artist Ahead of Her Time Pamela, known as “Pixie” to her friends, was a woman of boundless imagination and deep spiritual insight. She didn’t just illustrate Tarot—she wove stories within each card, making even the numbered Minor Arcana visually meaningful for the first time. Her use of vivid colors and evocative imagery set the standard for modern Tarot decks, making them easier to interpret and read intuitively. Beyond Tarot, Pamela was also a playwright, poet, and publisher. She created her own magazine, The Green Sheaf , where she published her art, folklore, and mystical tales. Yet despite her immense contributions to both the art and spiritual communities, she struggled financially and remained largely unrecognized in her lifetime. Why Pamela Colman Smith Still Matters Though history often credited the Rider-Waite Tarot to Arthur Waite, Pamela’s art is what made the deck iconic. Her ability to channel esoteric wisdom into powerful imagery has shaped how millions of people connect with Tarot today. Pamela also serves as a reminder of the countless women artists, mystics, and visionaries whose contributions have been overlooked. In recent years, Tarot lovers have worked to restore her legacy, ensuring she receives the recognition she deserves as the true artist of the world’s most famous deck.

Florence Scovel Shinn: The Woman Who Taught Us To Manifest 4:47

5 weeks ago4:47

4:47

Continuing our celebration of remarkable women in history, today we honor Florence Scovel Shinn —a metaphysical teacher, artist, and author whose work laid the foundation for modern manifestation techniques. Long before “law of attraction” became a buzzword, Florence was teaching people how to align their thoughts, words, and beliefs to create the life they desired. Who Was Florence Scovel Shinn? Born in 1871 in Camden, New Jersey, Florence started her career as an illustrator before stepping into her true calling as a spiritual teacher and writer. She was a pioneer in New Thought philosophy, blending Biblical wisdom with the power of affirmations and visualization. In 1925, she self-published her groundbreaking book, The Game of Life and How to Play It , which remains a staple for anyone on a manifesting journey. The Power of Words and Thought Florence believed that our words hold creative power, shaping our reality in ways we may not even realize. She taught that by aligning our speech with our desires, we can shift our circumstances and call in abundance, love, health, and success. Many of her affirmations—such as “I now release the past and move forward into the divine plan of my life”—are still widely used today. Manifestation and Spiritual Law Unlike many teachers of her time, Florence didn’t just focus on positive thinking; she emphasized the importance of divine timing, faith, and letting go of resistance. She described life as a game played according to spiritual laws, and those who mastered these laws could create lives filled with ease, prosperity, and joy. Her teachings on synchronicity, intuition, and trusting the Universe continue to inspire modern-day spiritual seekers. Why Florence Still Matters Florence’s work paved the way for today’s manifestation movement, influencing countless spiritual teachers, authors, and coaches, like me! Her message— that we are powerful co-creators of our reality —is just as relevant now as it was a century ago. She reminds us that faith and fearless belief are the keys to unlocking infinite possibilities. Honoring Florence Scovel Shinn Today Want to bring Florence’s wisdom into your own life? Try one of these to honor her today: ✨ Speak your desires into existence —affirm out loud what you wish to manifest. 📖 Read or listen to her books —start with The Game of Life and How to Play It (my audiobook on YouTube) 🌀 Trust the divine flow —release control and allow the Universe to work its magic. Florence Scovel Shinn taught us that life is a game—and those who learn to play it with faith, intention, and joy will always win. Are you ready to play? 🎲 The Complete Works of Florence Scovel Shinn $6.35 Florence Scovel Shinn remains one of the best-known American advocates of New Thought philosophy. In New Thought circles she is best known for her first book, "The Game of Life and How to Play It" (1925).

Marie Laveau – The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans 4:50

7 weeks ago4:50

4:50

Continuing our celebration of extraordinary women in history, today we honor Marie Laveau —the legendary 19th-century Voodoo Queen of New Orleans . A spiritual leader, herbalist, and powerful healer, Marie Laveau’s influence extended beyond magic—she was a force of justice, wisdom, and compassion. To this day, her legacy continues to inspire those drawn to mysticism, folk healing, and ancestral power. Who Was Marie Laveau? Born in 1801 in New Orleans, Marie Laveau was a free woman of color in a time when racial and social divides were deeply entrenched. Though much of her early life remains a mystery, she trained as a hairdresser , giving her access to the homes and secrets of New Orleans’ wealthiest and most powerful. But her true calling was something far greater—she became a renowned Voodoo priestess, healer, and spiritual guide , serving both the elite and the poor with equal dedication. A Spiritual Leader and Folk Healer Marie Laveau’s work blended Catholicism, African spiritual traditions, and Indigenous practices , creating a unique and powerful form of Voodoo that provided protection, healing, and justice for those in need. She was known to perform elaborate ceremonies in Congo Square , where drumming, chanting, and dance called forth divine energy. She was also a highly skilled herbalist and practitioner of gris-gris —a form of folk magic using charms, potions, and prayers to manifest desires, from love and prosperity to justice and protection. Her remedies, infused with both medicinal and spiritual potency, helped heal the sick and bring peace to troubled souls. The Queen of Influence Marie Laveau wasn’t just a spiritual figure—she was a powerful and respected leader . People from all walks of life, including politicians and law enforcement, sought her guidance. She was known to intercede on behalf of prisoners, helping many avoid wrongful execution. Her ability to command respect in a deeply divided society was nothing short of remarkable. Though often depicted as a woman of mystery, her true magic was her compassion, wisdom, and ability to empower her community . A Legacy That Endures Marie Laveau’s name has become legendary, inspiring countless books, movies, and even TV series. But her real-life impact was far more profound than any fictional portrayal. Even after her passing in 1881, her tomb in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 remains one of the most visited spiritual sites in New Orleans. Visitors still leave offerings, hoping to receive her blessings. Honoring Marie Laveau Today Marie Laveau’s wisdom and magic still resonate with us today. Want to connect with her energy? Try one of these: 🔮 Set an intention —write a prayer or affirmation and place it under a candle for guidance. 🌿 Work with herbs —explore the power of plants like basil (for protection) or bay leaves (for manifestation). 🎶 Immerse yourself in Voodoo culture —listen to traditional Louisiana Voodoo rhythms or do a YouTube search Marie Laveau was a woman of power, faith, and resilience.

Devotees venerate votive images of Laveau, who proclaimed herself the “Pope of Voodoo.” Buy Now We earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. 04/13/2025 03:09 pm GMT…

Grace (White) Sherwood – The Witch of Pungo 4:33

7 weeks ago4:33

4:33

Today’s featured woman in history holds a special connection to my colleague, Jackie Carpenter—an artist and practicing Green Witch who proudly continues the legacy of her ancestral line. Grace Sherwood, known as “The Witch of Pungo,” is Jackie’s 11th-generation great-grandmother. Accused of witchcraft in early 1700s Virginia, Grace faced suspicion, persecution, and even a trial by water—yet she never confessed to a crime she didn’t commit. Her story is a powerful reminder of resilience, truth, and the dangers of mass hysteria. Who Was Grace Sherwood? Grace White Sherwood, born around 1660 in the British colony of Virginia, was a skilled midwife, herbalist, and farmer who lived in what is now Virginia Beach. She had a deep understanding of plants and natural healing, often assisting her neighbors with remedies and midwifery. Working her land in Pungo, she defied societal expectations—not only through her knowledge and independence but also by wearing trousers while farming, a bold choice in a time when women were expected to be submissive and quiet. But in an era when strong, capable women were often feared, Grace’s gifts made her a target. Over the years, neighbors accused her of witchcraft, ruining crops, and even shape-shifting into a cat. After multiple accusations, the case against her escalated, and in 1706, she was put through a trial by water—a brutal test where she was thrown into the river to see if she would float (a supposed sign of guilt). Grace survived the ordeal, but instead of being freed, she was imprisoned for several years. A Woman Who Wouldn’t Break Despite her unjust trial and time in jail, Grace never admitted to being a witch. She refused to give in to fear or to the expectations of her accusers. When she was finally released, she returned to her land and lived peacefully into her 80s, proving that even in the face of injustice, she wouldn’t be broken. The Legacy of the Witch of Pungo For centuries, Grace Sherwood’s name was tarnished, but in 2006—300 years after her trial—Virginia’s Governor officially pardoned her, acknowledging the wrongs committed against her. Today, she is remembered as a symbol of strength, perseverance, and the fight against injustice. Honoring Grace Sherwood Today Grace’s story still speaks to us in the modern era. Want to honor her resilience? Try one of these: 🌿 Connect with nature —spend time in a garden or work with herbs like rosemary and sage. 📖 Learn about women accused of witchcraft —explore the stories of those who stood against injustice. 🔥 Embrace your strength —stand firm in your truth, even when others misunderstand you. Grace Sherwood was called a witch, but she was really a woman ahead of her time—one who refused to be silenced. Her legacy reminds us to honor our wisdom, trust in our power, and never let fear define us. 🖤 The Witch of Pungo: Grace Sherwood in Virginia History and Legend $18.99 In 1706, Grace Sherwood was “ducked” after her neighbors in Princess Anne County accused her of witchcraft. Binding and throwing her into the Lynnhaven River, they waited to see whether she would float to the top (evidence of her guilt) or sink (proof of her innocence). Incredibly, she survived.

Tituba – The Enslaved Healer Who Sparked the Salem Witch Trials 4:25

7 weeks ago4:25

4:25

Our celebration of extraordinary women continues with Tituba , a name forever linked to the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Often misunderstood and misrepresented, Tituba was more than just an accused “witch”—she was a woman of deep spiritual knowledge, a practitioner of folk magic, and a survivor of enslavement whose story still resonates today. Who Was Tituba? Tituba’s early life is a mystery, but historians believe she was born in Barbados and brought to the Massachusetts Bay Colony as an enslaved woman in the household of Reverend Samuel Parris. She carried with her the spiritual traditions of her homeland, blending African, Indigenous, and Caribbean folk practices , which likely included herbal healing, divination, and storytelling. The Salem Witch Trials & Tituba’s Role In 1692, when young girls in Salem began exhibiting strange behavior, Tituba was accused of bewitching them . Under intense pressure and possible coercion, she confessed to practicing magic , spinning elaborate tales of animal familiars, spirits, and the Devil. Her testimony set off a chain reaction —leading to one of the darkest chapters in colonial American history. But was Tituba really a “witch”? Or was she a woman trying to survive in a world where her voice held no power? Some scholars believe her confession was a strategy to protect herself from further punishment, while others see it as a reflection of the folk magic she may have actually practiced. A Woman of Magic & Mystery What’s clear is that Tituba was deeply connected to the spiritual and unseen realms . Folk magic and divination were common among enslaved and oppressed people, offering both healing and a sense of agency in an unjust world. Whether through herbs, charms, or scrying , Tituba likely practiced traditions that had been passed down for generations—ones that colonists did not understand and quickly labeled as “witchcraft.” Why Tituba Still Matters Tituba’s story is a reminder of resilience, cultural survival, and the power of spiritual practices that transcend oppression. Though history tried to paint her as a villain or a sorceress, modern scholars recognize her as a healer, an intuitive, and a woman forced into impossible circumstances . Honoring Tituba Today Want to bring a little Tituba magic into your life? Try one of these: 🌿 Learn about folk magic —study the healing traditions of different cultures. 🔮 Explore divination —Tarot, scrying, or intuitive reading can connect us to ancient wisdom. 📖 Read her story —historical fiction and academic research are bringing Tituba’s voice back to life. Tituba’s name may be tied to a dark moment in history, but her legacy as a spiritual woman, a survivor, and a symbol of intuitive wisdom lives on. I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem $22.50 This wild and entertaining novel expands on the true story of the West Indian slave Tituba, who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, arrested in 1692, and forgotten in jail until the general amnesty for witches two years later.

Hildegard of Bingen – The Mystic Who Sang with the Divine 4:22

8 weeks ago4:22

4:22

Continuing our celebration of incredible, witchy women in history, today we honor Hildegard of Bingen —a 12th-century abbess, healer, composer, and visionary whose mystical insights still inspire seekers today. She wasn’t just ahead of her time; she was in a league of her own, blending spirituality, music, herbal medicine, and divine revelations into a life of wisdom and service. Who Was Hildegard of Bingen? Born in 1098 in what is now Germany, Hildegard was a woman who refused to be confined by the expectations of her era. From an early age, she experienced powerful visions of light and wisdom —messages she believed came directly from the Divine. Though she lived in a time when women had little authority, her intellect and spiritual gifts couldn’t be ignored. She eventually became the abbess of a Benedictine monastery, where she led with both strength and grace. A Healer and Herbalist Hildegard believed that nature held the key to healing, and she wrote extensively about the medicinal properties of plants, gemstones, and even the elements. Her book Physica is one of the earliest known holistic healing guides, blending herbal remedies with a deep understanding of the body, mind, and spirit . She saw health as a balance between the physical and the sacred—an idea that resonates deeply with energy healers and holistic practitioners today. The Music of the Spheres As if being a visionary and healer weren’t enough, Hildegard was also a gifted composer . Her music, known as sacred chants or plainsong , is ethereal, hypnotic, and infused with divine inspiration. Even today, her compositions are performed worldwide, carrying a sense of deep peace and spiritual connection. If you’ve never listened to her work, look up Ordo Virtutum —it’s like a mystical soundtrack to enlightenment. Why Hildegard Still Matters Hildegard wasn’t afraid to own her gifts and share them, even when the world told her to stay silent. She wrote about feminine divinity, cosmic balance, and the interconnectedness of all things —concepts that feel just as relevant now as they did 900 years ago. She reminds us to trust our inner wisdom, embrace creativity, and honor the healing power of nature. Honoring Hildegard Today Want to bring a little Hildegard magic into your life? Try one of these: 🌿 Work with herbs —brew an herbal tea or explore natural remedies. 🎶 Listen to her music —let her chants transport you to a higher vibration: Ordo Virtutum ✨ Trust your visions —journal your intuitive insights and dreams.

Hypatia of Alexandria – The Rebel Mystic Who Defied Time 3:53

8 weeks ago3:53

3:53

In honor of Women’s History Month , I’m celebrating the healers, mystics, and visionaries who shaped the world in their own magical ways. And I can’t think of a better woman to kick off this series than Hypatia of Alexandria —a brilliant philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who lived in 4th-century Egypt. She was basically the original wise woman, blending science, spirituality, and deep intuition long before we had words for it. Who Was Hypatia? Hypatia wasn’t just a scholar—she was the scholar. She ran the famous Neoplatonist school in Alexandria, teaching philosophy, astronomy, and mathematics to anyone who wanted to learn. And that was a big deal because, at the time, women weren’t exactly encouraged to be intellectual leaders. But Hypatia didn’t care. She followed her calling, shared her wisdom, and taught with confidence. A Mystic of Mind and Cosmos Hypatia saw the universe as something deeply interconnected—math, stars, human existence, all part of a bigger picture. She wasn’t just crunching numbers; she was unlocking cosmic secrets. Her work laid the foundation for what we now call astronomy and physics, but she also had this intuitive sense of the unseen, as if she was decoding the sacred patterns of the universe. Why Hypatia Still Matters Aside from being absolutely brilliant, Hypatia was fearless. She spoke her truth, shared her knowledge, and refused to dim her light— even when it made people uncomfortable . Sadly, that fearlessness led to her tragic death in 415 CE when a political mob saw her intellect as a threat. But here’s the thing: they didn’t silence her. Her name, her influence, and her magic live on. Honoring Hypatia Today If Hypatia’s story inspires you (and how could it not?), here are a few ways to honor her legacy today: Diving into a new subject that intrigues you —wisdom is power! Stargazing and reflecting on the cosmos , just as she did. Embracing both logic and intuition , knowing that true knowledge blends both. Hypatia’s legacy reminds us that seeking truth is a radical act of magic . Here’s to carrying her wisdom forward. For a cinematic take on her life, check out the film Agora (2009) , starring Rachel Weisz, which beautifully brings Hypatia’s story to the screen. Agora [DVD] $7.28 Set in ancient Egypt under Roman rule, AGORA follows the brilliant and beautiful astronomer Hypatia (Weisz) who leads a group of disciples fighting to save the wisdom of the Ancient World, as violent religious upheaval spills into the streets of Alexandria.

How to Channel Messages from Your Spirit Guides and Ancestors 13:50

22 weeks ago13:50

13:50

Have you ever felt a comforting presence in an empty room or heard a whisper of guidance when you needed it most? These moments may be your spirit guides or loved ones who have passed, reaching out to support you. In today’s Psychic Game, we’ll explore how to channel messages from these unseen helpers. It’s simpler than you might think and can bring clarity, comfort, and connection to your life. What Does It Mean to Channel? Channeling is the act of opening yourself up to receive information from the spiritual realm. It’s like tuning your inner radio to the right frequency. Spirit guides often come through as wise mentors, offering insights and encouragement, while loved ones may bring messages of love, reassurance, or even a little humor. How to Prepare Yourself for Channeling Before you dive in, it’s important to set the stage. Think of it like inviting a guest into your home—you want the space to feel welcoming and clear. Create a Quiet Space Find a spot where you won’t be interrupted. Light a candle or some incense, and keep the lighting soft. Ground Yourself Take a few deep breaths and visualize roots growing from your feet into the earth. This keeps you balanced while connecting to higher energies. Set an Intention Be clear about why you’re channeling. For example, say: “I invite only the highest and most loving energies to communicate with me.” Techniques for Channeling Messages Automatic Writing Grab a notebook and a pen. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and ask your guides or loved ones to share what you need to know. Then, start writing whatever comes to mind—don’t censor yourself. You might be surprised at the clarity that emerges. Meditative Listening Sit quietly and focus on your breath. Ask a question mentally, such as: “What do I need to know about…?” Wait and listen for impressions, words, or images. Sometimes, the answers will feel like your own thoughts, but trust the process—intuition often feels subtle. Write your impressions in a journal. Use a Psychic Tools Using Tarot cards is by far my favorite way to connect with anybody’s energy – near or far, living or not. Pull a Tarot card while asking your guides for insight or signs from a loved one—it’s amazing how spot-on the messages can be! The Tarot speaks straight to your intuition. You can also use a pendulum or your favorite Oracle deck. Speak Out Loud Try asking questions out loud, then pause and “feel” for the answer. It might come as a thought, an image, or even a physical sensation. I recommend writing those feelings and thoughts down to capture them before they’re gone… kind of like a dream. How to Know If It’s Real Many people wonder if they’re just imagining things. Here’s the deal: authentic messages often feel uplifting, insightful, and sometimes even unexpected. They’re not about fear or negativity; they’re about growth and love. It’s okay if you don’t know specifically who you’re connecting with as long it’s a positive experience. I often call my guides “you guys” and I don’t get caught up in identifying them. Instead, I’m grateful for their presence and guidance. Same with relatives. Sometimes I can’t tell who it is right away, but I keep going and tell them “I’m not sure who you are yet, but I can feel your love and warmth. Show me something that is unique to you.” If not right away, I’ll get a message or insight as to who reached out and I’ll thank them. I always recommend journaling your impressions after each session to create a personal reference library. This not only helps you track patterns and insights but also validates your intuitive progress over time. You’ll start to know who you’re connecting with based on the personality, words, or images you receive. How do you most commonly receive messages? Everyone is unique. Assess your intuitive style and level of receptivity by taking a QUIZ. Common Signs of Connection A warm or tingling sensation when you’re channeling. I typically feel tingling around my ears, head, and neck. Receiving answers or clarity in surprising ways. Stay open to signs and synchronicities. Feeling calm, supported, or reassured after the experience. Channeling certain people, I feel warm hugs, while channeling certain guides, I feel uplifted and inspired. A Simple Exercise to Try Today Here’s a quick exercise to connect with your spirit guide or loved one: Sit comfortably with your eyes closed. Take three deep breaths and say, “I am ready to receive a message.” Ask a specific question, like: “What can I focus on to improve my relationship with…?” for person guidance. Wait for the first thought, image, or feeling that comes to mind. Write it down. Ask questions like: “Were you at my wedding? Did I see you there?” for personal connection. You may not get a full sentence right away—sometimes it’s just a word or a symbol—but with practice, the messages will become clearer and clearer. Trust the Process Channeling is like building a relationship; the more you practice, the easier it becomes. Whether you’re connecting with a loving guide or a cherished relative, remember to approach the experience with gratitude and an open heart. The more open your heart, the clearer the connection. Avoid overthinking, as it can create blocks and interrupt the flow of messages. If your channeling session gets hijacked by your logical brain, it’s time to stop. Pick it up again another time. Believe me when I say, we are channeling all the time. Next time you have an insight or impression, ask yourself where it came from. You may begin to notice that not all your thoughts are your own or originate in your mind. When you take the time to write these insights, hits, and impressions in a journal, it becomes abundantly clear that many of your thoughts and feelings are intuitively channeled messages. Keeping this record helps you see patterns and strengthens your trust in the process… see why journaling is a big deal when developing your intuitive gifts? For extra support in your channeling adventure, check out my 21 Must-Have Tools to Help You Channel Spirit post that highlights the best tools for channeling. There is no magic in the tools. You are the magic, but they sure do help you get in the proper headspace and energy for channeling smoothly. Have you ever received a message from your spirit guides or loved ones? Perhaps in a dream? Share your experience in the comments—I’d love to hear about it! Happy channeling! 🌟…

How To Embrace Unity & Peace With the Crown Chakra 19:32

24 weeks ago19:32

19:32

Today, as we wrap up our “Staying Aligned in Uncertain Times” series, we journey to the Crown Chakra . This seventh chakra, located at the top of your head, represents our connection to universal consciousness and the experience of unity. In these turbulent times, especially with the unexpected twists of the recent presidential election, we’re all feeling the weight of the unknown and the anxiety that accompanies it. That’s why today’s focus on the Crown Chakra feels so important. This is the chakra that reminds us of our connection to a larger, divine order and can guide us to a place of inner peace and acceptance, even when the world feels unpredictable. Understanding the Crown Chakra The Crown Chakra is often described as a portal to enlightenment, moving us beyond the limits of ego, time, and space. When balanced, it connects us to an experience of cosmic oneness—a realization that everything and everyone is interconnected on a fundamental level. We experience life beyond the limits of our physical senses and intellect. Instead, we feel a deep, heart-centered awareness and inspiration, a sense of being guided by something greater than ourselves. When this chakra is open and activated, you may feel profound clarity, calm, and joy, as well as an intuitive understanding that there’s a higher purpose to the events unfolding in our lives. Right now, in times of heightened uncertainty, tuning into this chakra is especially powerful. The Crown Chakra allows you to sense that, even if the world around you is chaotic, there’s a greater, divine wisdom at work. It can help alleviate the anxiety and fear that naturally arise with an unclear future by connecting you to the trust that you are a part of a larger plan and that things will unfold as they should. “At the deepest level, we are all the same, and when we come to this realization, we can begin to open ourselves to the love and compassion that unite us all.” dalai lama Experiencing Unity and Letting Go of Ego At the level of the Crown Chakra, you begin to release the boundaries of the ego and tap into the understanding that we are all threads in a vast, interconnected web. This chakra offers you glimpses of a “universal identity”—a self that isn’t confined to individual roles or experiences but is part of the greater flow of life. Through this sense of unity, you’re able to let go of the constant need for control or for clear answers, recognizing instead the beauty of surrendering to what is. I see humanity as a vast ocean, with each individual as a single droplet within it. We are all made of the same essence—each of us a unique expression of divine intelligence or God. As humans, we have long sought ways to experience this transcendent oneness. Whether through meditation, prayer, music, or even moments in nature, we find ways to lift the veil of everyday concerns and experience this divine connection. And while we all strive to hold onto this feeling, remember that this experience ebbs and flows. The journey of the Crown Chakra isn’t about permanently escaping reality but about bringing this sense of divine alignment into our lives whenever possible. Navigating Fear and Uncertainty with the Crown Chakra Anxiety and fear are natural responses when life feels unpredictable, like during this divided election season and shifting global events. Your crown chakra helps by encouraging you to see beyond your immediate concerns, opening you to a wider perspective and reminding you that there’s an underlying order to existence, even if you can’t always see it. When you find yourself gripped by anxiety or doubt, take a moment to tune into the energy of the Crown Chakra. Picture a gentle violet or white light at the top of your head, expanding and connecting you to a divine, unbreakable intelligence. Allow this light to calm your mind, helping you to release fear and replace it with a quiet faith in the path that lies ahead. With a balanced Crown Chakra, you become more resilient, able to face uncertainty from a place of peace rather than fear, trusting that you’re being guided toward what’s meant for you. Practices for Balancing and Opening the Crown Chakra To connect more deeply with the energy of your crown chakra try incorporating practices that bring you into stillness and quiet the chatter of the mind: Meditation : Spend a few moments each day in silence. Visualize a violet or white light above your head, radiating warmth and peace, and feel it gently expanding to embrace the whole of your being. Nature and Movement : Activities that lift you out of daily worries, like walking in nature, listening to peaceful music, or even light exercise, can be grounding and freeing for the Crown Chakra. Uplifting Music and Chanting : Let sounds that resonate with you wash over you, helping you to release and connect with something greater. Observe nature: Notice how animals instinctively know where to find food, when to migrate, and how they’re deeply in sync with the natural order. Look to the stars and the changing seasons for patterns that reveal nature’s rhythm and divine harmony—remember, you are part of that too. You might also try using essential oils like frankincense, sandalwood, and palo santo to enhance your meditation practice, or enjoy the sensory benefits of foods like blueberries, lavender tea, or dark chocolate for a calming effect. For a more profound experience, you may also consider exploring psychedelics and other plant medicines, guided by a knowledgeable professional. Crown Chakra Affirmations Here are some affirmations to use as you connect with your Crown Chakra. Speak these words slowly and mindfully, allowing them to settle into your consciousness: “I am connected with the wisdom of the Universe.” “I trust in divine intelligence and know that all is well.” “I release fear and embrace faith in my journey.” “I am at peace with the unknown, knowing I am always guided.” By repeating these affirmations, you help train your mind to release attachments to specific outcomes and open to the flow of life as it unfolds. Embracing the Bigger Picture When your Crown Chakra is balanced, it not only enhances your intuitive abilities but also brings you to a state of openness and acceptance of life’s mysteries. You find yourself less affected by the noise of fear or the need for certainty. Instead, you feel grounded in a quiet, inner wisdom that carries you forward, even when the path is unclear. The Crown Chakra encourages you to appreciate the beauty and harmony that can be found in surrendering to the unknown. With a strong connection to the Crown Chakra, you experience the integration of your divinity and humanity… harmonizing spiritual insight with the practicalities of daily existence. And as you bring this sense of divine connection into your life, you naturally cultivate a presence that can bring peace and comfort to those around you as well. Closing Thoughts Thank you for joining this journey through the chakras as we explored ways to stay aligned and grounded during turbulent times. In a world where fear and anxiety can feel overwhelming, the Crown Chakra reminds us that there’s a greater order to it all, and that we are always supported by a divine presence. Embrace this connection, hold on to this inner peace, and trust in the beautiful journey ahead.

How To See Through Illusions with Your Third Eye Chakra 27:40

24 weeks ago27:40

27:40

“Wait, what?” Welcome to Day 6 of our chakra healing series, where today, we’ll journey into the Third Eye Chakra —your seat of intuition, inner vision, and higher insight. In times like these, with unexpected challenges and shifting world events, feeling grounded in your own wisdom and perspective can be more crucial than ever. Amid uncertainty, when the future feels clouded and outcomes are surprising, connecting to this powerful chakra can bring a deep sense of clarity and trust in your path forward. Understanding the Third Eye Chakra Located in the center of the brow, the Third Eye Chakra is linked with the color indigo, associated with the suit of swords in Tarot, and the pineal gland—a small, pea-shaped gland in the brain thought to play a role in regulating your biological clock, sleep-wake cycles, and even spiritual awareness. The pineal gland is sometimes called the “seat of the soul” and has been connected to your psychic senses: clairvoyance (clear seeing), claircognizance (clear knowing), and even telepathy. “Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.” paulo coelho The Third Eye Chakra governs “inner seeing,” allowing you to visualize, imagine, and understand beyond the limits of the physical senses. By tuning into this chakra, you access higher wisdom and intuition, providing you with guidance that transcends what can be perceived with your physical eyes. It offers clarity, helping you navigate life from a place of greater insight rather than reacting with fear or anxiety to the unknown. Seeing Beyond Appearances The gift of the third eye chakra is the ability to see truth beyond illusion. This chakra allows you to read energy and understand the deeper meanings behind people, places, and events. Words and appearances can be misleading, but the energy sensed through the Third Eye is direct and clear. This chakra helps you to discern between what is real and what is illusion, empowering you to look beyond superficial judgments or fears. When your Third Eye Chakra is in balance, you see the world with clarity and perspective, remaining calm even in uncertain situations. You step into the role of an observer, gathering wisdom and insight instead of becoming emotionally overwhelmed. With a strong Third Eye, you become more open to understanding situations as they truly are, appreciating the nuances and depth in yourselves and others. Imagination and Manifestation Your Third Eye is also a powerful center for imagination, creativity, and manifestation. Everything you create in life begins as a vision in the mind’s eye, making this chakra the gateway to turning dreams into reality. When you activate third eye energy, you fuel your capacity to envision and bring your desires into focus. By connecting to this center, you tap into your own potential as creator, imagining new possibilities and paths for your future. “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.” nikola tesla Visualization exercises are a wonderful way to stimulate this chakra. By picturing your goals and dreams, you build mental pathways that make these visions more accessible and achievable. This practice also helps calm your mind and alleviate anxiety about the unknown, focusing your energy on what you wish to bring to life instead. I like to say that worrying is using your imagination in reverse: it’s just as powerful, but it channels your focus in an unhelpful direction. Intuition and Inner Knowing In addition to imagination, your third eye is also the seat of intuitive understanding. Many people experience psychic senses through this chakra, receiving insights in the form of “gut feelings,” inner knowing, or flashes of clarity. I call those “psychic hits.” This intuitive information, often referred to as the “sixth sense,” comes from a space beyond logic and analysis. When you learn to trust your Third Eye, you become more adept at navigating life based on your intuition, connecting you to the wisdom of your inner guidance. A person with a developed third eye chakra is highly intuitive and typically a human lie detector. Even if this person doesn’t call you out, trust that they are taking notes and keeping score. With a balanced Third Eye Chakra, you gain access to insights and “a-ha” moments that help you live with clarity and grace. Instead of feeling stuck or fearful of the future, you feel open to possibilities, able to see both the details and the bigger picture in each moment. The Importance of a Balanced Third Eye Chakra Maintaining a balanced Third Eye Chakra is about finding harmony between intuition and the physical world. You want to have a strong connection to your intuition, but you also want to be able to stay grounded in your day-to-day life. A balanced Third Eye Chakra allows you to have clarity of thought and to feel in touch with your life’s direction without becoming disconnected from practical matters. Imagine this in a real-life scenario: You’re able to manage everyday responsibilities like paying bills and planning for the future while also having a sense of insight or intuitive nudges when interacting with people or making decisions. This balance allows you to live with one foot in each world, combining intuitive knowing with the grounded actions needed for a healthy, stable life. When the Third Eye Chakra is balanced, you are also more aware of how it aligns with your lower chakras. Stability in your root chakra (your foundation and connection to security) and the openness of your heart chakra (your center of compassion and love) support the balanced energy of the Third Eye. When these lower chakras are stable and aligned, they help ground the insights from your Third Eye, keeping you from feeling overwhelmed by visions or ideas and helping you feel safe and centered in daily life. Practicing Third Eye Activation Activating the Third Eye Chakra involves practices that quiet the mind and help you go within. Meditation, visualization, and spending time observing the world without judgment are all wonderful ways to awaken your third eye energy. You can also work with visual arts, journaling, or even mindful daydreaming to enhance your connection to this center. These practices support not only your intuition but also your creative potential. Incorporating essential oils such as lavender, sandalwood, and frankincense during meditation can further support this energy center. These oils help to calm the mind, open your perception, and allow your Third Eye to gently open and expand. Foods and Affirmations for the Third Eye Chakra Nourishing foods such as dark chocolate and omega-3-rich foods, like salmon, walnuts, and chia seeds, can support brain function and clarity. Purple foods—like grapes, blueberries, and eggplant—are also beneficial as they resonate with the Third Eye’s frequency and boost mental sharpness. To help strengthen and balance this chakra, affirmations can be a helpful practice. Try these and make up your own: “I trust my intuition and allow it to guide me.” “I see clearly and understand my inner truth.” “My mind is calm, insightful, and clear.” “I see the truth beyond the words and images presented to me.” Affirmations are a powerful tool for reshaping habits and forging new neural pathways in the brain, helping to create lasting change. Final Thoughts In these changing times, your Third Eye Chakra can be a valuable ally, guiding you with calm and clarity. When this chakra is balanced and the energy of the lower chakras is stable, you feel empowered to trust your intuition, tune into your inner wisdom, and approach life’s changes with greater ease. Even if the future seems unclear, know that your Third Eye Chakra is a source of vision, perspective, and purpose. Embrace this energy center, and let it help you bridge the gap between intuition and everyday life, so you can live more authentically and peacefully.

How to Open Your Throat Chakra For Self Expression & Inner Peace 17:23

24 weeks ago17:23

17:23

Welcome to Day 5 of our Staying Aligned in Uncertain Times healing series, where today we’re focusing on the Throat Chakra —the energy center that governs our ability to communicate truth, authenticity, and creativity. This is the fifth chakra and the first of the higher, more spiritual chakras. It’s located in the neck, ears and shoulders, and its beautiful blue energy reflects clarity, honesty, and self-expression. It’s associated with the element of air and the suit of swords in Tarot. In today’s climate of division, conflicting opinions, and widespread misinformation, it’s natural to feel anxious about speaking up, especially when surrounded by confusion and resistance. With an unpredictable future and the surprising outcomes of recent events, many of us feel challenged to find our voices amid fear and uncertainty. That’s why now, more than ever, it’s important to keep our throat chakras balanced and open, enabling us to communicate in a way that aligns with both our inner truth and the compassion the world so deeply needs. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ralph waldo emerson Understanding the Throat Chakra The throat chakra is the gateway to all forms of personal expression, empowering us to share our unique perspectives and communicate with clarity, purpose, and confidence. When this chakra is balanced, it fuels creativity in every medium—whether through words, music, art, or writing—encouraging us to express our originality and speak our truth with grace and authenticity. The health of our throat chakra is intimately tied to the solar plexus chakra, which fuels our sense of personal identity. When you feel confident in who you are, the throat chakra naturally supports your expression. If, however, the solar plexus is unbalanced—leaving you feeling uncertain, insecure, or even doubtful—it can show up as a blocked or suppressed throat chakra. Conversely, if our solar plexus is overactive and ego-driven, our words may come out loud, aggressive, or judgmental. This is why in times of anxiety, it’s common to find ourselves either holding back from speaking our truth or feeling the impulse to defend it forcefully. The goal is to maintain balance, allowing our voice to flow in harmony with our deepest values and intentions. Signs of an Unbalanced Throat Chakra When your throat chakra is blocked, you might feel self-doubt or anxiety about expressing yourself, worry about being judged, or fear saying what you truly believe. It may also show up physically through throat discomfort, neck tension, or even chronic issues like coughs or frequent throat clearing. Some may experience the opposite: an overactive throat chakra can lead to constant talking or a need to dominate conversations, often because we’re unknowingly trying to mask insecurity. If you find yourself hesitant to speak, ask yourself what’s holding you back. Is it a fear of rejection or misunderstanding? Does expressing your thoughts make you feel vulnerable? Being honest with ourselves about these fears is the first step toward clearing the blocks in this chakra. “Explain it to me like I’m a four-year-old.” joe miller, “philadelphia” 1993 Heart-Centered Communication: Speaking with Compassion and Clarity A balanced throat chakra doesn’t just allow you to speak your truth—it enables you to speak it with compassion and openness, making others feel heard, respected, and understood. When you’re rooted in your truth, your words carry a sense of calm conviction that invites others to listen rather than react. In this way, the throat chakra can help us become better listeners too, enhancing our ability to connect meaningfully with others. One of the biggest challenges in today’s world is to communicate without judgment and with an open heart. An aligned throat chakra reminds us to stand in our truth without feeling the need to defend it or impose it on others. By listening deeply, we give others the gift of feeling heard, one of the most profound forms of respect and empathy we can offer. Heart-Centered Practices for Openness and Healing To keep your throat chakra open, think of practices that align with curiosity, playfulness, and creativity—qualities often seen in children who communicate with an open heart and a curious mind. Children are naturally less prone to judge; they tend to accept others as they are and express their feelings freely. This child-like curiosity can help us approach life with an open mind, allowing us to see beyond differences and find common ground. Adulting can be hard, and it’s easy to let fears of judgment and societal expectations stifle our voices. But by bringing a bit of that child-like openness and seeking to understand back into our communication, we create space to express our true selves authentically and joyfully. Simple Techniques to Activate & Heal the Throat Chakra Here are some techniques to keep your throat chakra in a state of balance, openness, and clarity: Singing and humming are wonderful and vibe-raising ways to energize the throat chakra, loosening any tension in the area and allowing your voice to flow freely. Try singing along to a favorite song or simply humming to yourself. Drink plenty of water and soothing teas . Staying hydrated and avoiding mucous-forming foods, like dairy, can keep your throat area clear. Visualize a calming blue light at the base of your throat, gently expanding with each breath. Imagine this light carrying away tension and replacing it with peaceful energy. Wear blue or choose accessories like necklaces and scarves that help you feel grounded in your self-expression. Practice loving honesty in your speech. Speak with a kind intention, letting go of the need to be right or make others agree with you. Embrace a mindset of love and respect for your own truth as well as others’. Throat Chakra Affirmations To strengthen your throat chakra, try these affirmations, letting each one resonate in your mind and heart: “I am open, clear, and honest in my communication.” “I speak my truth with love and compassion.” “I am free to express myself creatively and authentically.” “I listen deeply to others and honor their truths.” “My voice matters, and I am worthy of being heard.” Essential Oils and Foods for the Throat Chakra Using essential oils such as peppermint, chamomile, or lavender can help energize and balance the throat chakra. These oils can be diffused or added to a carrier oil and massaged on the neck. For throat chakra nourishment, think hydration —water, teas, soups, and fresh juices all contribute to this chakra’s flow. Avoid heavy, mucous-forming foods, and instead opt for cleansing foods that help maintain vocal clarity. Staying Aligned Through Authentic Expression The throat chakra plays a key role in helping us navigate unpredictable times, allowing us to communicate with integrity, stand in our truth, and connect compassionately with others. When we can speak openly and authentically, even when the world feels uncertain, we find a calm strength that helps us remain grounded and at peace. As we continue through this healing series, let’s focus on using our voices as a source of love and understanding to create a ripple effect that inspires openness in the world around us. As Kamala Harris reminds us, “We have more in common than what divides us,” even though it doesn’t always feel that way.

How To Keep an Open Heart Chakra When Feeling Fearful 17:42

24 weeks ago17:42

17:42

Welcome back to Day 4 of our Staying Aligned in Uncertain Times healing series. Today’s focus is the heart chakra, a powerful source of compassion, courage, and resilience. The heart chakra helps us to anchor ourselves in love and empathy, which can feel especially challenging in times of fear and uncertainty. If you’ve been experiencing feelings of anxiety, betrayal, or even disillusionment, know that this is natural. With the heart chakra as our guide, we’ll explore how to stay centered and aligned—even when it feels like the world around us has shifted in unexpected and painful ways. What is the Heart Chakra? The heart chakra, or Anahata, is located at the center of your chest and is the fourth of the seven primary chakras. In Sanskrit, Anahata means “unhurt” or “unstruck,” symbolizing the strength and resilience of this energy center. This chakra radiates love, compassion, and empathy, all represented by its color, green, and associated element, water. I refer to it as the bridge between our lower and upper chakras. The heart chakra connects our humanity and divinity, guiding us to embrace both the light and shadows within ourselves and the world. In uncertain times, the heart chakra becomes our anchor, allowing us to tap into a deeper sense of kindness, healing, and connection. Yet, when confronted with fear or a feeling of betrayal, it’s easy for this center to become imbalanced, leading to an emotional shutdown or a reluctance to connect. For those of us who feel deeply, witnessing people we once trusted or communities we once cherished choosing paths of division or hate can feel like a heavy blow to the heart. We might find ourselves grappling with difficult questions: How do we keep our hearts open in a world that feels so uncertain? How do we remain loving when others seem to choose fear or hate? “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin luther king, jr. A Balanced Heart in Times of Fear and Anxiety When the heart chakra is in balance, we feel a steady flow of love and kindness moving through us. In this balanced state, we’re able to be both open and discerning, nurturing ourselves while sharing compassion with others. But during times of turmoil, our heart chakra can close off, leading to feelings of grief, apathy, or even numbness. You may feel distrustful of others or find it hard to forgive. Anxiety and fear may bubble up, especially when the future feels uncertain or when we see others acting from a place of fear or division. In times like these, it’s essential to reconnect with the heart chakra. One of the most powerful things we can do is remind ourselves that love is a resilient force. Choosing to keep our hearts open is a courageous act, one that doesn’t mean passively accepting harmful behavior but rather standing firm in compassion and clarity. This openness doesn’t require perfection, just a commitment to respond with kindness, even when we feel hurt or fearful. Navigating Betrayal with the Heart Chakra Feeling betrayed by the choices of others can make it tempting to close our hearts and put up walls of self-protection. However, closing off the heart chakra may lead to bitterness or a sense of separation. Instead, we can choose to process feelings of betrayal and grief in a way that keeps the heart healthy. One way to do this is by letting go of the need to control others’ actions and focusing on the values that keep us aligned with love. In doing so, we create space to forgive, set boundaries, and protect our own energy without allowing resentment to take root. If you’re struggling with trust or feeling disconnected from the world, try shifting your focus back to the things that nurture your heart and bring peace. Start with a small practice of gratitude or engage in activities that lift your spirit—these are simple but powerful ways to reconnect with a balanced heart. Heart-Centered Practices for Openness and Healing One powerful way to stay centered in the heart is by practicing self-compassion . Treat yourself with gentleness and allow yourself to feel whatever comes up without judgment. Try beginning each day with an affirmation like, “I am open to giving and receiving love,” or “I forgive myself and others.” Allow these words to wash over you, and notice any areas of tension that start to soften. This may take more practice than usual, so give yourself grace. Breathwork is also wonderful for opening the heart. Sit comfortably and imagine each breath moving through your heart space, releasing fear and welcoming peace. You can also explore gentle movement practices like yoga stretches that open the chest and shoulders, letting energy flow freely through the heart center. Essential oils like rose, jasmine, or lavender can help create a soothing environment for healing and calm. Another heart-centered practice can include embracing a child-like curiosity and openness , remembering how children are naturally accepting and free from judgment. Kids often welcome others without hesitation, seeing people for who they are, not what they can gain from them or who they voted for. They approach the world with wonder, always eager to learn and connect. As adults, it can be challenging to let go of expectations, judgments, and fears, but bringing an open heart into our lives can ease that burden. Practicing this child-like openness can be as simple as allowing yourself to be curious about others’ perspectives, savoring the small wonders in each day, or taking a moment to listen deeply. This shift can open pathways for healing and connection that might otherwise be blocked. Embracing Love as the Way Forward Living from the heart doesn’t mean ignoring the pain or fear around us. Instead, it’s about choosing compassion as a way forward, honoring the feelings that come up, and letting them pass through without hardening our hearts. The heart chakra teaches us that we can be open and resilient—that our capacity for love is not diminished by the actions of others. We can still choose empathy, connection, and kindness, keeping our hearts open to the beauty and goodness that also exist in the world. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” martin luther king, jr. Heart Chakra Meditation Let’s finish today with a brief heart chakra meditation. Close your eyes and settle into a comfortable position. Take a few slow, deep breaths, and imagine a warm green light glowing at the center of your chest. With each inhale, feel this light grow brighter, radiating love, acceptance, and healing. Picture this light expanding outward, embracing all that you are—the pain, the joy, the confusion, and the hope. As you exhale, imagine this love reaching out, connecting you with the world, with a renewed sense of openness and peace. Know that your heart is strong and resilient, and that by choosing love, you bring healing not only to yourself but to the world around you. And that is precisely what the world needs now. Thank you for sharing this time with me today. Opening the heart chakra takes courage, especially when life feels uncertain or others seem to choose fear. But as we keep our hearts open, we remind ourselves of our own power to love, to heal, and to create a ripple of peace. Tomorrow, we’ll continue this journey by exploring the throat chakra and its role in expressing our authentic truth. Until then, may your heart be a source of comfort and strength.

How To Stay Strong in Your Solar Plexus Chakra Especially Now 25:02

24 weeks ago25:02

25:02

Welcome to Day 3 of the Staying Aligned in Uncertain Times Healing Series As we continue this series, I want to take a moment to check in. The post-election period can bring mixed emotions, whether it’s relief, worry, or simply fatigue. Remember, whatever you’re feeling is okay; it’s all part of the process. Today’s focus is on the Solar Plexus Chakra , our center of personal power and self-confidence. This chakra can offer grounding, inner strength, and resilience, helping you stand firm in who you are and what you believe, even amidst and in spite of, uncertainty. Let’s explore how to align with this energy, empowering ourselves from within and reconnecting to our quiet inner strength. What is the Solar Plexus Chakra? The Solar Plexus Chakra, located between the navel and the solar plexus, is the center of personal power, choice, and identity. It’s where we connect to our will, confidence, and sense of self. While the Sacral Chakra brings us joy and creativity, the Solar Plexus is all about defining who we are and empowering us to make aligned choices. Think of it as your inner compass, steering you forward with a quiet yet resilient strength. This energy center helps you stand firm in transitions, making it especially helpful during challenging situations and with challenging people. The Energy of Personal Power This chakra governs our ability to make conscious choices and take action. When it’s balanced, the Solar Plexus Chakra fuels confidence and self-trust, allowing us to navigate life with clarity and direction. We don’t react to life; we consciously respond. This chakra represents the “I am” in each of us, giving us a stable foundation from which to interact with the world thoughtfully, assertively, and responsibly. In today’s world, where challenges and uncertainties may spark anxiety, tuning into the Solar Plexus can help us reclaim our power and act from a place of calm self-assurance. Signs of Solar Plexus Imbalance Overactive Solar Plexus: If your Solar Plexus energy is excessive, it may manifest as arrogance, emotional outbursts, and high stress levels. People with an overactive Solar Plexus might feel self-important, react defensively, and struggle to listen to others. This can lead to poor boundaries, taking things personally, and becoming overly controlling in an attempt to manage inner anxiety. Self-righteousness, narcissism, and emotional outbursts are common side effects of an overactive Solar Plexus chakra, often creating a tendency to dominate or push others away. Dictators have extremely overactive solar plexus chakras. “I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.” henry david thoreau Underactive Solar Plexus: On the other hand, a blocked Solar Plexus can lead to passivity, fear, and a tendency to let life “happen” without engagement. If this chakra is underactive, you may struggle to assert yourself, feel trapped, or overly reliant on others for validation. An underactive Solar Plexus often results in giving away personal power and feeling directionless or uncertain. People with underactive solar plexus chakras are easily manipulated, bought, gullible, and lack self-reliance. They make excellent cult members. When the Solar Plexus Chakra is Balanced A balanced Solar Plexus Chakra manifests as quiet inner strength and self-confidence. With this alignment, you stand firm in your values, speak up with kindness, and embrace healthy risks. You’re open to diverse perspectives while staying true to yourself, navigating life’s uncertainties with flexibility, optimism, and courage. A balanced Solar Plexus creates an aura of self-respect and a commitment to growth that inspires others. Quick Snapshot Sanskrit Name: Manipura “jeweled city” Color: Yellow Element: Fire Tarot Suit: Wands Psychological Function: Willpower, self-esteem Core Right: To act and choose Primary Challenge: Shame Ways to Balance Your Solar Plexus To strengthen the Solar Plexus Chakra, start with core-centered exercises like yoga, pilates, and Tai Chi. Postures like plank and boat, as well as core breaths, build stability and inner strength. Practices such as Kundalini yoga and lion’s breath further activate this chakra, warming the body and releasing any blocked energy. For an overactive Solar Plexus, consider exploring anger management techniques and even therapy, which can help channel intense emotions constructively and establish healthy boundaries. Self-reflection is also a valuable tool: pay attention to situations that trigger frustration or a sense of losing control, and practice responding in ways that allow you to step back or breathe deeply before reacting. For an underactive Solar Plexus, focus on building self-confidence and autonomy by thinking for yourself, using your intuition, and making independent choices. Reinforce your sense of self-trust with small, positive actions each day, helping you reclaim your personal power. Finally, active listening—listening to understand rather than to respond—encourages respect, humility, and meaningful connection, balancing this chakra’s energy whether it’s overactive or underactive. Essential Oils and Foods for Solar Plexus Healing To boost and balance your Solar Plexus Chakra, consider integrating essential oils and nourishing foods into your daily routine. Diffuse lemon and ginger for an energizing lift, or chamomile for a calming, centering effect, while peppermint brings clarity and refreshment to sharpen focus and lift the spirit. These oils can be diffused throughout your home or applied, when diluted, to pulse points for a direct boost to your Solar Plexus energy. You can also fuel your Solar Plexus Chakra through diet by eating vibrant yellow foods like yellow peppers, lemons, corn, and golden apples, which naturally amplify this chakra’s energy. Whole grains like oats and brown rice help ground your energy, adding stability and inner support. Choosing foods that calm or ignite your inner fire as needed is a powerful way to nourish this chakra—whether you’re seeking balance, strength, or renewal. Stones & Crystals Working with crystals like Citrine, Tiger’s Eye, and Yellow Jasper can strengthen and balance your Solar Plexus. Carry or meditate with these stones to reinforce feelings of self-worth, clarity, and empowerment. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” margaret mead Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations I am confident and self-reliant. I act from a place of inner strength and peace. I make choices that honor my truth. I am worthy of love, respect, and success. I embrace change with courage. Final Thoughts Think of your Solar Plexus as an internal campfire—it fuels your passions, keeps you warm, and helps guide your way. During times of transition, tend to this fire, feeding it with self-care and awareness. A balanced Solar Plexus reminds you that while the world may shift, your core power remains steady and reliable. Embrace your personal strength, and let it light the path ahead.

How To Allow Pleasure & Joy Into Your Life Post-Election 16:50

24 weeks ago16:50

16:50

In this second episode of our Chakra Healing Series, we explore the Sacral Chakra , a powerful center of creativity, pleasure, and adaptability—qualities that are especially vital in times of collective stress and uncertainty. Located in the pelvic area, the sacral chakra connects us to the richness of life’s experiences and is the source of our passion and resilience. While the root chakra grounds us with stability, the sacral chakra invites us to connect with joy, beauty, and creativity, helping us find balance amidst challenges like post-election anxiety. The Essence of the Sacral Chakra The sacral chakra, also known as Svadhisthana , which translates to “sweetness”, is our pleasure center and the gateway to life’s sensory beauty. This chakra allows us to experience feelings of joy, connection, and creativity. It’s through this energy center that we engage fully with our world—through sights, sounds, tastes, touch, and emotions. By nurturing our sacral chakra, we’re reminded that life includes moments of sweetness and beauty, even when the external world feels turbulent. It is associated with the color orange and corresponds to the suit of Cups in the Tarot. “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” albert eistein Challenges to the Sacral Chakra Today’s world often discourages passion and sensitivity, encouraging us to suppress our emotions rather than embrace them. We are taught to second-guess our natural impulses and even feel guilt for taking pleasure in the simple joys of life. These societal pressures can result in a disconnected sacral chakra, where we may feel numb or lack inspiration. When the sacral chakra is blocked or imbalanced, we might experience feelings of inadequacy, emotional unfulfillment, or low motivation. On the other hand, an overactive sacral chakra can lead to addictive behaviors and overindulgence as a means of coping. A balanced sacral chakra allows us to stay grounded in our passions and creativity, empowering us to respond to challenges with adaptability and resilience. Reconnecting with Your Sacral Energy Restoring balance to the sacral chakra starts with becoming aware of your relationship with pleasure, creativity, and connection. Consider whether you feel open to life’s sensory experiences, like savoring food, music, and the beauty of nature. Here are ways to nurture this energy center: Embrace Movement : Dance, yoga, and even mindful stretching help release blocked energy in the hips and pelvis. Find Beauty in Your Surroundings : Take in the sights, sounds, and colors of nature, or bring more orange—the sacral chakra’s color—into your space. Explore Your Senses : Savor a favorite meal, try a new scent, or listen to inspiring music. Giving attention to the senses can reawaken our creative flow. Essential Oils for the Sacral Chakra Using essential oils can gently open the sacral chakra. Scents like patchouli, jasmine, and wild orange stimulate sensuality, creativity, and inner calm. Diffuse them at home, allowing the fragrances to support your journey to self-connection. Sacral Chakra Affirmations Affirmations are simple yet powerful tools to activate the sacral chakra. Practice these regularly: “I am open to life’s beauty and sweetness.” “I allow myself to experience pleasure and creativity.” “I am adaptable and resilient in times of change.” Finding Balance and Calm in Times of Uncertainty Our sacral chakra reminds us that self-care and connection to joy are essential, especially during uncertain times. By embracing pleasure and creativity, we foster a sense of balance, making it easier to navigate life’s transitions with grace. Each of us has the power to cultivate moments of beauty, connection, and gratitude. So take a deep breath, look outside and notice the colors of fall all around you, open yourself to life’s gifts, and trust in your ability to adapt and thrive. Choose beauty. Final Thoughts The chakra system is a hierarchy, where each level builds on the stability of the one below it. For you to fully experience the pleasures, creativity, and connection of the sacral chakra—and the potential of each chakra above it—your root chakra needs must be met first. So, pace yourself and be gentle on this journey. Healing is not a race; it’s a personal unfolding. Embrace each step, honor where you are, and trust that balance and fulfillment will come as you connect more deeply with each chakra’s energy.

How To Heal Anxiety Around Your Root Chakra 14:47

24 weeks ago14:47

14:47

Welcome to my special post and podcast series, Staying Aligned in Uncertain Times . I’m so glad you’re here. Right now, many of us are feeling heightened waves of anxiety and uncertainty, especially in light of recent events. In this seven-part series, we’re diving into each of the chakras, exploring tools and insights that can help us ground ourselves, stay centered, and find peace in the midst of change. I know firsthand how overwhelming these times can feel. If you’re experiencing anxiety, stress, or simply a sense of being off-center, know that you’re not alone. In each episode, I’ll share simple, yet powerful practices to help you reconnect with yourself, calm your mind, and navigate this intense season with more balance and resilience. So, settle in, take a deep breath, and let’s get started on this journey together. Today’s topic: How To Heal Anxiety Around Your Root Chakra This is the chakra that governs our sense of safety, security, and connection to the earth. It’s the place where we can find stability and grounding, even in times of chaos. So if you’re feeling unsettled right now, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll explore how to bring balance to the Root Chakra and reclaim your sense of peace during these uncertain times. What is the Root Chakra? The Root Chakra, or Muladhara , is the first chakra in our energy system. Located at the base of your spine, it’s the very foundation of your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. It connects you to the earth beneath you and establishes your sense of safety in this world. The name Muladhara comes from two Sanskrit words: Mula , meaning “root,” and Adhara , meaning “support” or “base.” Essentially, this chakra serves as your support system, foundation, and anchor. It is associated with the color red and corresponds to the suit of Pentacles in the Tarot. When the Root Chakra is in balance, you feel grounded, secure, and confident that your basic needs will be met. But when it’s out of balance—especially with the anxieties many of us are feeling right now—those feelings of fear, insecurity, and instability can rise to the surface. The Survival Center The Root Chakra is our survival center. It is where our fight-or-flight response originates, and it governs our most primal instincts—like ensuring our physical safety and financial well-being. This chakra holds the energy of our ancestors’ struggles and triumphs. It carries memories of hardship, war, famine, and the basic fight to survive. As we move through life, we often carry the imprints of these ancestral experiences, whether we are consciously aware of them or not. These memories and patterns can affect how we respond to current stressors, including the political climate. But here’s the good news: We don’t have to be held hostage by the past. We can consciously choose to heal and transform these old patterns. Signs of Imbalance in the Root Chakra When the Root Chakra is imbalanced, it can show up in several ways, especially when we’re dealing with high stress or anxiety. You might notice feelings of fear, insecurity, or anxiety taking over. You might feel disconnected from your body, or even from the world around you. On a physical level, imbalances might manifest as lower back pain, constipation, or issues with your legs and feet. With the current political climate, these symptoms may intensify, as we feel unsure about the future and our place in it. But by focusing on balancing this foundational chakra, we can begin to create the stability and peace we need to navigate these times. Signs of a Balanced Root Chakra When your Root Chakra is balanced, you feel centered and grounded, no matter what’s happening around you. You have a deep sense of security, and trust that your basic needs will always be met. You’re connected to your core values, and living in alignment with them gives you the courage to face challenges head-on. In the midst of political uncertainty, you’ll find yourself feeling calmer, more resilient, and more trusting that things will work out. The more balanced your Root Chakra, the more equipped you are to handle the stress and anxiety that might arise. How to Balance Your Root Chakra How to Balance Your Root Chakra Balancing your Root Chakra is key to feeling grounded during times of uncertainty. One of the most powerful ways to do this is by grounding yourself—literally. Walking barefoot on the earth, sitting on the grass, or just taking a moment to connect with nature can help you feel more anchored. Breathing is also an essential tool for balancing the Root Chakra. Taking deep, slow breaths can help you reconnect with your body and bring you into the present moment. Let’s take a moment together now to breathe deeply, letting go of any tension or stress you may be holding. (Pause for a breath) Inhale deeply… hold for a moment… and exhale slowly. Feel your body relax with each breath. Meditation is another powerful tool. While meditation connects you to your higher self, it also grounds you in the present moment. If you find it difficult to trust that the world will provide for you, meditation can remind you that you are always supported, no matter what’s happening around you. You can use breathing during meditation as a way to center your mind and calm your energy. Healing Foods and Essential Oils Nourishing your body with the right foods is also crucial for balancing the Root Chakra. Focus on eating red-colored foods, root vegetables, and hearty stews—foods that come from the earth and give you energy and stability. You can also use essential oils like Cedarwood, Sandalwood, or Vetiver to help you feel grounded. These oils can be diffused in your home or applied directly to your body to bring calm and balance to your energy. Affirmations for the Root Chakra Affirmations are another great way to reinforce feelings of safety and security. Try saying these to yourself throughout the day: “I feel deeply rooted.” “I am safe and secure.” “I trust that my needs will be met.” “I am financially secure.” “I stand strong in my values.” These simple words can help to shift your energy and create a sense of peace, no matter what’s going on around you. Final Thoughts With everything that’s happening in the world right now, it’s natural to feel a little shaken. But by focusing on your Root Chakra, you can restore your sense of safety, stability, and connection. Grounding yourself, nourishing your body, and using simple tools like meditation and affirmations can help you feel more anchored and less affected by external chaos. Thank you for joining me today. Remember, no matter what happens in the world, you have the power to create your own sense of peace. Take a moment today to connect with the earth beneath you, and trust that everything will work out. And if you’re ready to continue this healing journey, join me tomorrow as we explore the Sacral Chakra. I’ll show you how opening and balancing this chakra can help you embrace creativity and adaptability—key tools for navigating any transition. Until next time, stay grounded, stay safe, and remember: you are supported.

Popular Myths and Misconceptions Surrounding Tarot 13:29

26 weeks ago13:29

13:29

Tarot is often shrouded in mystery, leaving many with a mix of curiosity and misunderstanding about what it truly represents. Even in today’s world, remnants of outdated beliefs continue to paint Tarot as “dangerous” or “evil.” Let’s debunk some of these myths, highlight how they’ve persisted, and embrace a modern understanding of Tarot as a powerful tool for growth, clarity, and connection. Myth #1: Tarot is Linked to “Witchcraft” and “Dark Magic” One of the oldest misconceptions is that Tarot is inherently tied to witchcraft or dark magic. This view goes back centuries to a time when anything “unknown” or “spiritual” was feared. Tarot became tangled in this, especially during the age of witch hunts and burnings, where people—often women—were persecuted for their beliefs or practices. That old prejudice fostered lasting fear and ignorance, creating a strong bias against anything linked to “the unseen.” But this is the 21st century. Time to break free from those outdated narratives! Tarot isn’t about controlling people or summoning powers. Instead, it’s a reflective practice that helps you access your inner wisdom. It’s time we celebrate our power, not fear it or give it away. Myth #2: Tarot is a “Dangerous” Tool for Manipulation Another misconception is that Tarot is meant to manipulate or trick people. Some people view readers with suspicion, believing Tarot readers “tell people what they want to hear.” However, in reality, a well-conducted Tarot reading is more about guidance and self-awareness than any external control or manipulation. It’s about presenting options, sparking reflection, and empowering individuals to find their own path. In my own experience, this bias has hit close to home. Some family members have distanced themselves from me because of my work with Tarot. Additionally, I’ve even been let go from contracts because of outdated fears surrounding the cards. But I’ve come to see this as a reflection of their own fears, not the truth of Tarot itself. As a result, I live by the Dr. Suess adage, “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” Myth #3: Tarot Is Used for Fortune-Telling One of the most pervasive myths about Tarot is that it’s used to predict the future with certainty. While Tarot can offer guidance on potential outcomes based on current energies and choices, it’s not a crystal ball. Instead, Tarot provides a mirror for self-reflection, helping you navigate life’s uncertainties with more awareness and insight. Each card acts as a symbol, inviting you to consider where you are in the present moment and how you can influence your future by making empowered decisions. Myth #4: Tarot Is Dark or Evil A common misconception is that Tarot is connected to dark or negative forces, often because of its historical associations with the occult. Some people believe that Tarot invites bad energy or leads to spiritual harm. In reality, Tarot is a neutral tool—much like a mirror—reflecting what is already within you. How you approach the cards is what matters. Many Tarot readers use the cards as a spiritual practice for personal growth, healing, and empowerment. The intention behind the reading defines the energy that comes through. “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” Joseph campbell Myth #5: You Have to Be Psychic to Read Tarot This myth can make Tarot seem inaccessible to beginners. While some Tarot readers use their psychic abilities to enhance readings, you don’t need to be psychic to use Tarot effectively. Tarot is a tool anyone can learn to use by studying the cards, practicing, and connecting with their intuition. Tarot helps you develop your intuitive abilities over time, and with consistent practice, you’ll start to recognize the symbols and messages that resonate with your own inner knowing. Myth #6: Tarot Cards Must Be Gifted to You There’s a belief that Tarot cards only work if they are given to you as a gift. While receiving a deck as a gift can be a special gesture, it’s not a requirement for reading Tarot. You can absolutely purchase your own deck! In fact, selecting a deck that resonates with you personally can create a stronger bond between you and the cards, making your readings more meaningful. Myth #7: Tarot Can Only Be Used for Serious or Spiritual Matters While Tarot can certainly be used for spiritual growth, deep reflection, and life-changing insights, it’s also versatile enough to explore lighter, everyday matters. You can use Tarot for creativity, decision-making, relationship guidance, or even just for fun. Some people draw daily cards to set an intention for their day or seek advice on small choices, like picking a new hobby or exploring personal interests. Myth #8: You Can’t Read Tarot for Yourself Another myth is that Tarot readers can’t or shouldn’t read for themselves. Some people fear they’ll be too biased to interpret the cards accurately. While it’s true that objectivity can be tricky when reading for yourself, many Tarot readers find self-readings helpful for personal growth, reflection, and meditation. You can always seek out a trusted reader for more objective readings, but using Tarot for personal journaling and self-exploration is a powerful way to work with the cards. Myth #9: Tarot Always Predicts Something Bad Many people fear pulling “negative” cards like Death, The Tower, or The Devil, assuming these cards mean disaster or bad luck. However, Tarot isn’t about labeling situations as “good” or “bad.” Even cards that appear challenging at first glance carry important lessons about change, transformation, and growth. The Death card, for example, often signifies the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new chapter, symbolizing renewal and rebirth rather than literal death. Tarot encourages us to embrace both the light and shadow aspects of our lives. Final Thoughts Tarot is a tool that reflects our journey, our questions, and our inner wisdom. By understanding the myths that surround it, we can approach Tarot with an open mind and use it as a resource for self-awareness and empowerment. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned reader, Tarot offers endless possibilities for personal and spiritual exploration—and it’s anything but scary or limiting. Tarot reflects the human condition and is used every day by ordinary people for personal guidance, meditation and intuition development. It’s a wonderful tool for self reflection, goal setting, healing, and self-improvement. Draw your own conclusions and know that fear is ignorance in disguise.

How to Know When You Have a Limiting Belief 17:15

26 weeks ago17:15

17:15

(And How to Transform It for a Life Full of Possibilities) In our journeys through life, we often bump up against invisible walls, wondering why our dreams seem just out of reach. We put in the work, visualize the results, and stay consistent, yet the progress feels slow or stagnant. In many cases, these blocks aren’t external at all; they’re internal, hidden in the form of limiting beliefs. Identifying and releasing these beliefs is essential for aligning with the Universe’s flow, allowing abundance, love, and success to flow into our lives freely. What Are Limiting Beliefs? Limiting beliefs are unconscious assumptions or ideas we hold that restrict us from living to our fullest potential. They shape how we see the world, ourselves, and what’s possible for us. Often rooted in childhood, societal influences, or past experiences, these beliefs can feel like absolute truths, yet they don’t have to define us forever. For example: “I’m not good enough.” “I don’t deserve abundance.” “Success only comes with hard struggle.” “People can’t be trusted.” Each of these statements, though they may feel very real, is a perception – one that can change. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne dyer How Limiting Beliefs Impact Manifestation In the realm of manifestation, limiting beliefs can act as unseen barriers between our desires and their materialization. Universal laws, like the Law of Attraction, state that we attract what we believe. So, when we hold onto ideas of scarcity, unworthiness, or fear, we unknowingly create more situations that affirm these beliefs. Imagine wanting financial abundance but secretly believing that money is hard to come by. Despite all the visualizing and affirmations, this underlying belief sends out a conflicting signal. It’s like planting seeds in soil that’s too rocky to grow anything – the foundation itself needs nurturing. Signs That a Limiting Belief Is Holding You Back Here are some common ways to recognize that a limiting belief might be affecting you: 1. Persistent Frustration Do you feel stuck or frustrated when it comes to a certain area of life, no matter how hard you try? If you’re pushing toward a goal but feel like you’re treading water, it could be that a belief is counteracting your progress. 2. Repetitive Patterns Are the same negative scenarios repeating? For instance, you keep attracting unavailable partners or jobs that don’t appreciate your talents. Repeating patterns can be the Universe’s way of showing that a limiting belief is in play. 3. Intuitive Nudges Often, our intuition whispers when something is holding us back. If you have a lingering feeling that “something isn’t right,” or a persistent sense that “there’s more for me,” you may be brushing against a belief that it’s time to release. 4. Emotional Triggers Certain situations or topics can cause an outsized emotional reaction. For example, if you feel overly defensive or emotional about money, success, or self-worth, there may be a hidden belief about these areas that needs attention. 5. Self-Sabotaging Behavior Limiting beliefs often lead us to act in ways that prevent us from achieving what we want. Procrastination, perfectionism, or giving up easily can be signs that a limiting belief is in play. 6. Your Language & Stories Pay close attention to the words you use and the stories you tell yourself and others. Do you often say, “I’m too busy for that,” “People always let me down,” or “I’m just not good with money”? These phrases may seem harmless, but they reveal the beliefs beneath the surface. Excuses, prejudices, and recurring “stories” can reinforce limiting beliefs and shape your reality, often without you realizing it. In the realm of manifestation, words have powerful energy, and the language you choose shapes the experiences you attract. 7. Your Visualizations and Affirmations Feel “Off” If you’re doing the inner work but visualizing your dreams feels forced or distant, there might be a hidden belief creating resistance. Authentic belief flows naturally; if it feels off, there may be a contradictory belief pulling against it. How to Release and Transform Limiting Beliefs Acknowledging limiting beliefs is a powerful first step toward freedom. Here are steps to dismantle them: 1. Identify the Limiting Belief Take a moment to journal or meditate on the areas where you feel most blocked. Write down the negative thoughts or assumptions you hold about these areas. For instance, if you’re struggling with love, your belief might be, “I don’t deserve a committed partner.” Awareness is the first step toward transformation. 2. Challenge the Belief Once identified, question its validity. Is this belief absolutely true? Where did it come from? By dissecting the belief, you begin to see that it’s not a fact – it’s an idea you’ve adopted. Practicing this step regularly helps weaken the belief’s hold over time. 3. Replace the Belief with an Empowering Affirmation After questioning the old belief, choose a new, empowering belief that aligns with your desires. If the limiting belief was, “I’m not worthy of love,” replace it with, “I am deeply deserving of unconditional love.” Repeat this new belief as an affirmation daily to rewire your subconscious mind. 4. Use Visualization Techniques Visualize yourself living the reality where your new belief is true. Picture yourself feeling loved, accepted, and abundant. Imagine how you’d feel, what you’d do, and how you’d act. Visualization is a powerful way to start shifting your vibration to match your new belief. 5. Take Inspired Action in Alignment with Your New Belief Taking small, inspired actions can solidify a new belief. If you’re replacing a limiting belief about money, take actions that show your belief in abundance, such as donating a small amount to charity or investing in yourself. Action is a statement to the Universe that you’re serious about this new path. 6. Engage in Imagitation for Manifesting Change One of the most transformative tools is Imagitation , which combines imagination with meditation. Here, imagine yourself living as your most empowered self, with your new belief fully integrated. Visualize specific scenes that embody your ideal life, allowing yourself to feel the emotions as if it’s happening now. This “preview” brings your desired reality closer to the present, making it feel both familiar and attainable. Trusting the Universe’s Guidance The process of uncovering and releasing limiting beliefs is not always instant. It’s an unfolding, a dance with the Universe where you align with its gentle, supportive guidance. When you take these steps, you’ll notice the energetic shifts within and around you – opportunities will appear, synchronicities will increase, and life will seem to flow with greater ease. Remember, the Universe is always in support of your highest path, sending you signs, nudges, and insights to guide you toward what’s possible. When you align with your true self, free from the grip of limiting beliefs, you become a magnet for your deepest desires. So, trust the journey, celebrate the small wins, and know that each limiting belief released is a powerful step toward manifesting a life filled with boundless possibilities. The path to freedom begins within.…

How Tarot Unlocks Your Intuition for Ultimate Clarity 12:14

26 weeks ago12:14

12:14

Do you ever feel like you’re searching for answers but can’t quite seem to find them? Maybe you’ve felt stuck, unsure which direction to take, or confused by life’s big decisions. That’s where Tarot can step in. More than just a deck of cards, Tarot is a powerful tool that helps you tap into your intuition, connect with your inner wisdom, and gain the clarity you’ve been seeking. It’s not about predicting the future—it’s about guiding you toward the right path and helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface. In this post, we’ll dive into how Tarot can help you unlock your intuition and find clarity in your life. What is Intuition? Intuition is that inner voice, the gut feeling you have when something just feels right (or wrong). It’s your natural ability to understand things without needing logic or reason. We all have it, but sometimes life’s noise—our fears, doubts, and worries—gets in the way of hearing it. Tarot helps to quiet that noise and bring your intuition to the forefront. “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.” Albert Einstein How Tarot Unlocks Your Intuition When you work with Tarot, you’re not just looking at the cards—you’re looking inward. The images and symbols on each Tarot card act like mirrors, reflecting back parts of your subconscious mind that you may not be fully aware of. As you interpret the cards, you begin to notice feelings, thoughts, or insights bubbling up that guide you to your inner truth. If you’ve ever experienced a Tarot reading, you know that moment when just the right cards show up, and it feels like they’re speaking directly to your soul. That uncanny feeling of alignment, where the cards seem to know more than you do, is part of the deep connection Tarot has with your intuition. It’s as though the universe itself is lending you a helping hand, guiding you to the insights you need most. Let’s explore how Tarot taps into your intuition and why the cards seem to “magically” align with your current situation, bringing you clarity and confidence. 1. Tarot Promotes Self-Reflection Tarot invites you to pause, reflect, and tune into what’s really going on. Each card tells a story, and as you work with them, you’re encouraged to ask yourself deeper questions: What does this card mean to me? How does it connect to my current situation? What feelings does it bring up? This process of reflection opens up a space for your intuition to surface. The more you practice, the stronger your intuitive abilities become. 2. Tarot Helps You See Patterns Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming when you can’t see the bigger picture. Tarot helps by revealing patterns in your life, whether in relationships, career, or personal growth. When you pull a series of cards, they may point to recurring themes or cycles you hadn’t noticed before. This awareness helps you make sense of your experiences and gives you the clarity to break free from unhelpful patterns. For instance, if you keep pulling cards like The Tower (signaling sudden change) or The Devil (representing unhealthy attachments), it could indicate that there’s something in your life you need to release. Recognizing these patterns allows your intuition to guide you toward the steps for change. 3. Tarot Connects You with Your Subconscious Mind Tarot speaks the language of symbols and archetypes—universal images that resonate on a deep, subconscious level. When you work with these images, you’re connecting with parts of yourself that are usually hidden beneath the surface. Your conscious mind may not have the answers, but your subconscious does, and Tarot helps you access that wisdom. For example, The High Priestess card is all about intuition, mystery, and hidden knowledge. When this card appears, it could be urging you to trust your gut or pay attention to the signs your inner wisdom is sending you. 4. Tarot Knows One of the most magical things about Tarot is how the right cards show up at the right time. You could be thinking about a decision and, suddenly, The Lovers or The Two of Swords appears, perfectly representing your dilemma. Or maybe you’re uncertain about a career change, and The Ace of Pentacles comes up, symbolizing new opportunities and growth. There’s something undeniably mystical about Tarot—the way the cards align, the feelings they evoke, and the connection they foster with your intuition. Yes, it may feel a little “woo” at times, but that’s part of the magic. Tarot allows you to step into a space where logic steps aside, and intuition leads the way. Using Tarot for Clarity in Your Life Choices Now that you know how Tarot helps unlock your intuition, let’s explore how it can also bring clarity to your decisions. When you feel lost or confused, Tarot offers a fresh perspective and helps you see things from a new angle. 1. Ask the Right Questions Tarot works best when you ask open-ended questions. Instead of asking yes-or-no questions, like “Will I get the job?”, focus on questions that encourage deeper exploration, such as “What do I need to know about this opportunity?” or “What steps can I take to improve my career situation?” This invites guidance, not just a prediction, helping you see what needs attention for better clarity. 2. Gain a New Perspective Tarot can shift your viewpoint, highlighting things you may have missed or helping you consider options you hadn’t thought of. For example, if you’re stuck in a relationship and The Lovers card appears, it may remind you to focus on communication. If The Hanged Man shows up, it could suggest you need to release control and see things from a different angle to move forward. 3. Clarify Your Emotions Our emotions often pull us in different directions, leading to confusion. Tarot helps you untangle those feelings by representing various energies. If you’re feeling anxious about a decision, and The Moon appears, it may point to fear or illusion. Tarot helps you see your emotions more clearly, guiding you to greater peace of mind. Tips for Using Tarot to Strengthen Your Intuition and Find Clarity If you’re ready to use Tarot for personal guidance, here are some tips to get started: Set a Clear Intention: Center yourself before pulling cards and set a clear intention about what you need guidance on. Trust Your First Impressions: Pay attention to your initial thoughts and feelings when you see the cards. Your intuition speaks in subtle ways. Keep a Tarot Journal: Track the cards you pull and your insights. Over time, you’ll notice patterns and deepen your connection to the Tarot and your inner wisdom. Tarot as a Path to Inner Wisdom Tarot is more than a fortune-telling tool—it’s a way to connect with your intuition, gain clarity in life’s challenges, and discover insights into your personal journey. By reflecting on the cards and exploring their messages, you unlock your own inner wisdom, navigating life’s twists with more confidence. Remember, the answers you seek are already within you. Tarot simply helps you hear them more clearly. Trust your inner brilliance. Ready to deepen your connection with Tarot and unlock your intuition?

From Sensitivity to Strength: How Enneagram Personality Types Empower Empaths 9:50

29 weeks ago9:50

9:50

Today’s topic: “From Sensitivity to Strength: How Enneagram Personality Types Empower Empaths”. Welcome to the Enchanted Empath podcast, where we explore the mystical and the magical within you. I’m Charlene Murphy, your guide on this journey of intuition, energy, and spiritual empowerment. Whether you’re here to strengthen your empathic abilities, deepen your connection with the universe, or simply find a little peace and clarity, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in and discover the magic that awaits! Empaths possess a unique ability to understand and experience the emotions of others. This heightened sensitivity can be both a blessing and a challenge. To navigate the complexities of emotions effectively, empaths can greatly benefit from delving into the Enneagram system. The Enneagram provides a framework for understanding personality types, offering invaluable insights that can empower empaths in their personal growth and interpersonal relationships. In this article, we explore the Enneagram system and outline how knowing Enneagram personality types can be a game-changer for empaths. Understanding the Enneagram The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-awareness and personal development. It identifies nine distinct personality types, each with its own patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. These types are not rigid boxes but rather dynamic frameworks that shed light on our core motivations, fears, desires, and coping mechanisms. By exploring these aspects, empaths can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others, leading to improved empathy, emotional regulation, and healthier relationships. The Nine Enneagram Personality Types The Perfectionist : Rational, principled, and self-disciplined, they strive for perfection and can be highly critical of themselves and others. The Helper: Caring, generous, and self-sacrificing, they seek to support and nurture others but may struggle with setting boundaries. The Achiever: Ambitious, adaptable, and image-conscious, they pursue success and recognition, sometimes losing touch with their true selves. The Individualist: Creative, sensitive, and introspective, they long for authenticity and often experience intense emotions and a sense of longing. The Investigator: Analytical, observant, and independent, they seek knowledge and understanding while sometimes withdrawing from social interactions. The Loyalist: Committed, responsible, and security-oriented, they value loyalty but can be prone to anxiety and seeking reassurance. The Enthusiast: Fun-loving, spontaneous, and adventurous, they seek stimulation and avoid pain, often struggling with commitment. The Challenger: Assertive, confident, and protective, they value control and can be seen as powerful and domineering but also have a nurturing side. The Peacemaker: Easygoing, agreeable, and accommodating, they strive for inner and outer peace but may struggle with passivity and indecisiveness. You can find deeper and more thorough descriptions of the nine Enneagram Personality Types on Truity.com How Enneagram Benefits Empaths Self-Awareness: Understanding one’s own Enneagram type helps empaths recognize their default patterns of behavior and cope with challenges more effectively. It promotes self-compassion and encourages personal growth by highlighting areas that require attention and development. Understanding Others: The Enneagram offers insights into the motivations and fears of different personality types, enabling empaths to better understand the emotions and needs of others. This understanding fosters empathy and allows empaths to navigate relationships with more compassion, patience, and insight. Emotional Regulation: Empaths often absorb and internalize the emotions of others, leading to emotional overwhelm. By identifying their Enneagram type, empaths can learn strategies for emotional regulation, such as recognizing their triggers and developing healthy coping mechanisms. Healthy Boundaries: Empaths tend to prioritize the needs of others, often neglecting their own well-being. Understanding the Enneagram can help empaths establish and maintain healthy boundaries, enabling them to care for themselves while still being empathetic and supportive. Conflict Resolution: The Enneagram offers valuable insights into the different communication styles and coping mechanisms of each personality type. This knowledge equips empaths with effective strategies for conflict resolution, enabling them to navigate disagreements with empathy and understanding. Understanding Enneagram personality types can be a transformative journey for empaths. By exploring the intricacies of the nine types, empaths gain valuable insights into themselves and others, enhancing their emotional intelligence and strengthening their relationships. The Enneagram serves as a guide, empowering empaths to navigate the complexities of emotions with grace and authenticity. If you’re an empath seeking to deepen your self-awareness and enhance your empathic abilities, I encourage you to embark on your own Enneagram journey. Taking an Enneagram Personality Type Test can be the first step towards discovering your dominant type and unlocking a wealth of knowledge about yourself. Numerous online resources offer Enneagram tests that can provide a starting point for your exploration. Remember, the Enneagram is a tool for self-discovery, growth, and understanding, but it’s important to approach it with an open mind and recognize that we are all more than just our Enneagram type. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and let the Enneagram be a guide on your path toward personal transformation and empathic empowerment. Take the Enneagram Personality Type Test today and embark on a journey of self-discovery and empathy like never before. You’ll be amazed at the insights and growth that await you.…

Unlock the Power of the Third Eye Chakra for Clarity 32:57

33 weeks ago32:57

32:57

https://www.youtube.com/live/1lghtEYCWPg?si=o0tgYvp4v4baRxU0 The Third Eye Chakra, also known as the Ajna Chakra, is one of the most powerful and mysterious energy centers in the human body. Situated between the eyebrows and linked to the pineal gland in the brain, this chakra serves as the gateway to higher consciousness, intuition, and spiritual insight. As the first topic in our Psychic School series, we begin with the Third Eye Chakra to prepare the path of inner vision and set the foundation for the entire psychic journey. Activating and understanding this chakra is crucial because it opens the door to perceiving the unseen, guiding us beyond the physical world into the realms of intuition, clairvoyance, and spiritual wisdom. Often depicted as an indigo-colored, two-petaled lotus, the Third Eye is not just a symbol but a vital element in the journey of self-discovery and psychic awakening. By exploring the Third Eye Chakra at the start, we lay the groundwork for all that follows in your psychic development. This energy center connects us to our inner wisdom and allows us to trust what we sense, feel, and intuitively know—key skills that will be built upon in future lessons. The Third Eye: The Seat of Inner Vision The Third Eye Chakra is often called the “seat of inner vision” because it governs our ability to see beyond the physical realm. Unlike the eyes that perceive the external world, the Third Eye is connected to our internal vision, offering glimpses of the unseen, the abstract, and the spiritual. It is responsible for our intuition, clairvoyance, imagination, and the profound wisdom that goes beyond logical reasoning. For centuries, mystics, sages, and healers have revered the Third Eye as a source of enlightenment and divine insight. This energy center enables us to connect with our higher selves, tap into universal consciousness, and access knowledge that transcends time and space. Through the activation of the Third Eye, we can perceive subtle energies, receive psychic impressions, and navigate our lives with a deeper sense of purpose and understanding. The Pineal Gland: The Physical Connection to the Divine The Third Eye Chakra is intimately connected with the pineal gland, a tiny pinecone-shaped organ nestled deep within the brain. Often called the “seat of the soul,” the pineal gland plays a pivotal role in regulating sleep, dreams, and the body’s circadian rhythms. But beyond its biological functions, it is believed to be a physical manifestation of our spiritual Third Eye. In many ancient cultures, the pineal gland was recognized as the center of spiritual awakening and psychic vision. Its ability to produce melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, is thought to be a doorway into altered states of consciousness and the dream world. It is in these states that the veil between the physical and spiritual realms becomes thin, allowing us to access intuitive insights, messages from the higher self, and spiritual guidance. Modern science is beginning to explore the pineal gland’s role in human consciousness, and while much remains a mystery, there is growing evidence that this small gland holds a key to unlocking the deeper layers of our psyche. When the Third Eye Chakra is balanced and open, the pineal gland can become a powerful tool for experiencing higher states of awareness. Why the Third Eye is Essential on the Psychic Journey Enhanced Intuition and Clairvoyance: The Third Eye Chakra is the primary center for intuition and clairvoyance, two of the most potent psychic abilities. Intuition is our inner knowing, the voice that guides us when logic falls short, and clairvoyance is the ability to see beyond the physical, often manifesting as visions, symbols, or flashes of insight. When the Third Eye is open, we are more receptive to these intuitive nudges, allowing us to make decisions that align with our highest good. Connection to the Spiritual Realm: The Third Eye serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, granting us access to realms beyond ordinary perception. It is through this chakra that we can communicate with spirit guides, angels, and other higher-dimensional beings who offer guidance and support on our path. For those on a psychic journey, the Third Eye is the key to receiving these spiritual downloads and interpreting their meanings. Expanded Consciousness and Awareness: Activating the Third Eye Chakra expands our consciousness, enabling us to see the bigger picture of our lives and the interconnectedness of all things. It dissolves the illusion of separation, allowing us to perceive the subtle energies that weave through our existence. This expanded awareness fosters a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and understanding of the universe’s profound mysteries. Access to Inner Wisdom and Psychic Knowledge: The Third Eye is often referred to as the “eye of wisdom” because it grants access to inner knowledge that is not bound by time or space. This chakra allows us to tap into the collective unconscious, explore past lives, and understand karmic patterns that shape our current reality. By delving into the wellspring of psychic knowledge, we can gain insights that heal, transform, and empower us. Awakening the Imagination and Creative Vision: The Third Eye is not only about psychic vision but also the realm of imagination and creativity. It is the source of inspired ideas, artistic visions, and innovative thinking. When this chakra is active, we are more in tune with our creative potential, and we can harness our imagination to bring our dreams into reality. The Third Eye allows us to envision the life we desire and gives us the clarity to manifest it. The Challenges of a Blocked or Overactive Third Eye While the Third Eye Chakra holds immense potential, it can also be a source of challenge if it becomes blocked or overactive. A blocked Third Eye may manifest as a lack of direction, confusion, difficulty making decisions, or feeling disconnected from intuition. On the other hand, an overactive Third Eye can lead to an overwhelming influx of psychic information, vivid dreams, or a tendency to get lost in fantasy. Balancing the Third Eye Chakra is essential for maintaining harmony in our psychic and spiritual lives. It requires nurturing our inner vision, trusting our intuitive voice, and embracing both the mystical and practical aspects of our journey. Embrace Your Inner Vision The power of the Third Eye Chakra lies not just in its ability to perceive the unseen but in its capacity to connect us to our deepest truths. It is through this inner vision that we find clarity, purpose, and the courage to walk our spiritual path with open eyes and an open heart. Whether you are just beginning to explore your psychic abilities or are deep into your spiritual practice, the Third Eye Chakra is a vital ally on your journey to awakening. As you continue to develop this powerful energy center, remember that the Third Eye is not just about seeing—it’s about knowing. It’s about trusting the subtle whispers of your soul and embracing the unseen forces that guide you. Through the Third Eye, we glimpse the infinite possibilities of our existence and step into a life of deeper meaning, insight, and connection. Psychic Games As we’ve explored, the Third Eye Chakra is the gateway to inner vision, intuition, and deeper spiritual awareness. Now it’s time to take this understanding to the next level with a powerful activation! Join us this Thursday at 2 PM for a part two where we’ll guide you through a Third Eye activation to awaken your psychic senses and enhance your inner vision. This is your opportunity to experience the magic of your Third Eye firsthand and begin aligning with your highest potential. Don’t miss out—let’s open the door to your intuitive power together!…

Imagitation: The Power of Imagination Meets Meditation 12:27

34 weeks ago12:27

12:27

Imagitation is one of my favorite practices—a blend of imagination and meditation that takes a proactive, Western approach to traditional meditation techniques. It’s not about clearing the mind or sitting in stillness; it’s about using the vibrant, creative energy of your imagination to craft the life you desire. This practice is the foundation of manifesting anything because imagination is the portal to all things manifested. The Magic of Imagination Albert Einstein famously said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” In Imagitation, you harness this boundless power of your imagination to create the reality you wish to experience. It’s not just daydreaming; it’s intentional, purposeful, and transformative. When you engage in Imagitation, you are not passively waiting for things to happen. Instead, you actively participate in the creation process. You visualize what you want with vivid detail, feel the emotions associated with it, and mentally step into the experience as though it’s already real. This proactive engagement sets Imagitation apart from traditional meditation practices, which often focus on clearing the mind rather than filling it with vibrant visions. The Science Behind Imagitation Wayne Dyer, a renowned self-help author, once said, “You’ll see it when you believe it.” This statement encapsulates the core of Imagitation: belief, backed by imagination, is a powerful force. Neuroscience supports this idea, showing that the brain does not distinguish much between an imagined experience and a real one. When you visualize an outcome with enough detail and emotional intensity, your brain activates the same neural pathways as if you were actually experiencing it. This is why Imagitation works so well for manifesting your desires. It primes your brain to recognize opportunities, shift your mindset, and align your actions with your intentions. Essentially, you are reprogramming your subconscious mind to focus on what you want, not on what you lack. The Spiritual Essence of Imagitation Neville Goddard, a mystic and teacher of the power of imagination, taught that “Imagination creates reality.” This quote gets to the heart of why Imagitation is so powerful: your inner world shapes your outer world. In every moment of Imagitation, you are tapping into a spiritual practice that aligns your highest desires with the energetic flow of the universe. Rather than meditating to empty the mind, Imagitation invites you to fill it with possibilities, dreams, and the feeling of already having what you desire. You become the architect of your life, designing each aspect with clarity and joy. This isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about creating a new one that aligns with your truest self. How to Practice Imagitation Set the Stage : Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and allow your body to relax. Visualize with Intention : Begin to imagine the outcome you desire. Engage all your senses—see it, hear it, smell it, touch it, taste it. Make the experience as vivid as possible. Feel the Emotions : Emotions are the fuel for your imaginal practice. Feel the joy, excitement, peace, or gratitude as if you’ve already manifested your desire. Let these emotions flow freely. Affirm Your Vision : Silently or aloud, affirm that this vision is already yours. Use affirmations that resonate deeply with you, such as “I am grateful for this beautiful new reality” or “I am worthy of all that I desire.” Release and Trust : End your session by releasing your vision to the universe with gratitude. Trust that it will manifest in divine timing and let go of any attachment to the outcome. Bringing Imagitation into Your Daily Life Imagitation doesn’t need to be a long, drawn-out process. Even spending a few minutes each day can be transformative. You can practice it while sipping your morning coffee, during a walk in nature, or right before drifting off to sleep. The key is consistency and the willingness to fully immerse yourself in the experience. As you continue this practice, you’ll notice shifts in your perspective, opportunities aligning, and synchronicities occurring. The more you nurture your imagination, the more you’ll see it reflected in your life. Remember, you are the creator of your reality, and through Imagitation, you hold the brush to paint your masterpiece. In the words of Einstein, Dyer, and Goddard, let your imagination lead the way. It’s not just a tool; it’s the portal to all things possible. Happy Imagitating!…

This heightened sensitivity is your intuition becoming more attuned. 2: You Have Vivid Dreams and Visions Your dreams have become more vivid and meaningful, or you’re experiencing spontaneous visions during meditation or quiet moments.

These signs and synchronicities are the universe’s way of communicating with you. 4: You Feel Intense Emotions You might find yourself experiencing waves of intense emotions or sudden emotional releases. This is your body’s way of clearing old energy and making space for new, higher vibrations. 5: You Have A Deep Inner Knowing You’re starting to trust your inner voice more, experiencing moments of deep inner knowing or gut feelings that turn out to be accurate.

What Are Psychic Abilities? Psychic abilities refer to the capacity to perceive information or energy beyond the normal senses—such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. These abilities can manifest in various ways, including intuition, visions, dreams, or feelings, and they often involve connecting with the spiritual or energetic realm. Common psychic abilities include: Clairvoyance (Clear Seeing): The ability to see images, symbols, or visions in your mind’s eye. Clairaudience (Clear Hearing): The ability to hear messages, sounds, or words that are not physically present. Clairsentience (Clear Feeling): The ability to sense or feel energy, emotions, or physical sensations from others or the environment. Claircognizance (Clear Knowing): The ability to know information without having any prior knowledge or evidence. Each person’s psychic abilities may manifest differently, and you might find that you resonate more strongly with one type of ability over others. To find out which “Clair” is your strongest, take my Intuition Test. Signs Your Psychic Abilities Are Waking Up If you’re wondering whether you’re beginning to awaken your psychic abilities, here are some common signs to look for: Heightened Sensitivity: You might become more sensitive to the emotions of others, environmental changes, or even shifts in the atmosphere. Vivid Dreams or Visions: Your dreams might become more intense and symbolic, or you may experience spontaneous visions during meditation or quiet moments. Increased Intuition: You might start to have gut feelings or hunches that turn out to be accurate. Synchronicities: You may notice an increase in meaningful coincidences, such as repeatedly seeing the same numbers or encountering similar themes in your life. A Desire for Spiritual Practices: You might feel drawn to meditation, energy healing, Tarot, or other mystical arts. https://youtu.be/Ae6mSiGxRac Steps to Awaken and Develop Your Psychic Abilities If you’re ready to explore and develop your psychic abilities, here are some steps to help you on your journey: 1. Quiet Your Mind Meditation is one of the most effective tools for awakening your psychic abilities and quieting the mind. It also helps increase your awareness and create a deeper connection with your inner self. Start with simple mindfulness meditation, focusing on your breath, and gradually explore guided meditations designed to enhance intuition or connect with your spirit guides. 2. Keep a Psychic Journal Recording your experiences in a psychic journal can be incredibly valuable. Write down any intuitive feelings, dreams, visions, or synchronicities you experience. Over time, you may notice patterns or recurring themes that can provide insight into your psychic abilities. 3. Practice Visualization Visualization is a powerful technique for developing clairvoyance and other psychic abilities. Begin by visualizing simple images in your mind’s eye, such as a flower or a specific color. As you become more comfortable with visualization, you can practice seeing more complex images, symbols, or even scenarios. 4. Trust Your Intuition Learning to trust your intuition is key to developing your psychic abilities. Start by paying attention to your gut feelings in everyday situations, and take note of how often they are accurate. The more you trust and act on your intuition, the stronger it will become. 5. Connect with Nature Spending time in nature can help you ground your energy and enhance your connection with the natural world. Nature is full of energy and wisdom, and being in its presence can help you tune in to the subtle energies around you. Take walks in nature, meditate outdoors, or simply sit quietly and observe your surroundings. 6. Work with Crystals Crystals are powerful tools for amplifying psychic abilities. Some crystals, like amethyst, clear quartz, and labradorite, are particularly beneficial for enhancing intuition and psychic awareness. You can meditate with crystals, carry them with you, or place them in your environment to support your psychic development. 7. Be Still and Listen The best exercise you can do is to have an open and child-like mind where everything is possible. When you think you’ve got everything figured out is when you block your intuition. Listen, observe, welcome situations with a beginner’s mind. Seek to understand and you’ll hear the whispers of a higher wisdom. Tune in. Overcoming Common Challenges As you begin to awaken your psychic abilities, you may encounter some challenges. Here’s how to overcome a few common obstacles: Fear or Doubt: It’s normal to feel fear or doubt as you explore your psychic abilities. Remember that these abilities are natural and part of who you are. Take things at your own pace and allow yourself to grow and learn without pressure. Energy Overload: You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed or drained, especially if you’re highly sensitive to energy (an empath). Practice grounding techniques, such as walking barefoot on the earth, and set boundaries with your energy to avoid taking on too much. Interpreting Messages: It can be challenging to interpret the messages you receive through your psychic abilities. Trust that with practice, you will become more skilled at understanding the information you receive. You can also ask your spirit guides or higher self for clarity. Get out of your head and into your heart. The Journey Ahead #image_title Awakening your psychic abilities is a deeply personal and transformative journey. It’s important to remember that everyone’s path is unique, and there’s no right or wrong way to develop your abilities. Trust in your process, be patient with yourself, and enjoy the exploration of your intuitive gifts. As you continue to practice and grow, you’ll find that your psychic abilities become a natural and integrated part of your life, guiding you toward greater self-awareness, spiritual growth, and connection with the world around you. This guide is just the beginning of your journey. Embrace your psychic awakening with an open heart and mind, and allow your abilities to unfold naturally. Remember, you are supported every step of the way by the universe, your spirit guides, and your higher self. Stay tuned for specific tools, rituals, and techniques you can use to amplify your psychic senses and see tangible results!…

Is Mercury Retrograde Messing Up Your Vibe? 6:38

37 weeks ago6:38

6:38

Oh my, it’s about that time again! Run for the hills, unplug your electronics, and lock the car up in the garage! Mercury Retrograde returns this November 25–December 15, 2024 In Sagittarius. What does Mercury Retrograde mean? According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the planet Mercury appears to travel backward across the sky three times a year. The traditional advice is “Don’t travel, Don’t sign contracts. Don’t marry. Don’t touch electronic devices!” But the whole Mercury retrograde cycle actually lasts for weeks and happens three times, sometimes even four times in a year! That’s a long time to hide under the blankets and a real waste of a potentially magical time! Believed by many, this is a time of miscommunication, misinformation, travel glitches, and electrical disturbances – a time to avoid making commitments, entering agreements, or making significant purchases. The planet Mercury is the ruler of communications and travel, according to popular astrology, and when it appears to travel backward, it sends all things communicative into chaos. A planet is considered retrograde when it slows down and appears to be moving backward. This is an optical illusion since no planet in the universe changes direction. Relative to our point of view on Earth, it appears sometimes that a planet will stop and go backward called the retrograde motion, and then stop again and go forward. Much like speeding by a slow-moving train, it appears to travel backward as it recedes. Of course, just like the slow-moving train, the planet is not really traveling backward. How Mercury Retrograde Can Hurt You Mercury Retrograde is rapidly becoming the most misunderstood astrological phenomenon and has joined the ranks of other timeless superstitions, such as stepping on cracks and breaking mirrors. Instead of taking responsibility for errors in communication, bad choices, or lack of planning, many people now blame Mercury retrograde for their personal upsets, which is quite disempowering. Carl Jung once said, “Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Or in this case, Mercury Retrograde will direct your life and you will call it astrological fate. “This kind of thinking takes astrology back 100 years, when the planets were seen as evil forces that bore ominous warnings.” Mark Husson It’s important to realize the power of self-fulfilling prophecy when using astrology as a tool to guide our lives. If, for example, we believe that bad things will happen in our lives during Mercury retrograde, then they probably will, but not because there is a slowing of the planet, but because our subconscious mind has made it so. Keep in mind that you are your own placebo – a constant attractor in motion – always affecting your own reality. Take your power back! How Mercury Retrograde Can Help You It’s true that during Mercury Retrograde the planet does slow down. Let this serve us as a reminder to do the same and to use this time for contemplation, choosing our words wisely and considering all angles before making commitments and decisions. And since Mercury Retrograde keeps us on our toes, this can be a time for heightened intuition and synchronicities. Stay on the lookout! Because Mercury rules the mind, mental clarity, talking, self-expression, and overall communication, let’s mindfully choose to spend this Mercury Retrograde to clearly express ourselves, communicate our desires, and expect only the best! via GIPHY Mercury Retrograde Tarot Spreads I created these Tarot spreads around the energy of Mercury Retrograde to help you take your power back while addressing real issues that would probably be occurring no matter what’s happening in the sky. If you’re experiencing tension with a co-worker or partner, Conflict Resolution Tarot spread is a great option for reconciling your differences and creating a more peaceful home or work environment. Let Go & Move On Tarot spread is created for those who feel the need to release someone or something but feel stuck in neutral. Either spread will help you see things differently and spark a new level of consciousness so that decisions can be made and resolutions can happen… and we can all live peacefully under the energy of Mercury retrograde. Grab your Tarot cards and use these spreads to help shed light on what’s happening in your life. Don’t be afraid of Mercury Retrograde, instead tap into your inner brilliance and get insight and understanding about YOU. And keep your power. ✨…

How to Visit People Remotely and Influence Outcomes 9:50

1 year ago9:50

9:50

Today’s topic: “How to Visit People Remotely and Influence Outcomes”. Welcome to the Enchanted Empath podcast, where we explore the mystical and the magical within you. I’m Charlene, your guide on this journey of intuition, energy, and spiritual empowerment. Whether you’re here to strengthen your empathic abilities, deepen your connection with the universe, or simply find a little peace and clarity, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in and discover the magic that awaits! I started to visit people remotely when I was a love-struck teenager back in the day before cell phones. I had a mad crush on my best friend’s brother and I was painfully shy, so talking to him while visiting my BF was out of the question and considered bad behavior anyway. Home alone one night, he was on my mind and I decided to try an experiment. I lit a candle and gazed into it letting my mind go soft while imagining him driving up to my house. Now keep in mind, that he’s never been to my house and we’ve never even spoken other than a polite, “Hi,” in passing. I focused all of my attention on the candle and held strong to the vision of him driving up my driveway to visit me. I did this for about 5 minutes and then started doing something else when about 10 minutes later, he came driving up my driveway. Imagine my surprise! We visited for about an hour and dated the entire summer. Whenever I wanted to see him or hear from him, I imagined him either driving to my house or picking up the phone and dialing my number. I imagined in great detail and 9 times out of 10 he was either at my house or calling me. Do you think I stopped there? Oh no. I realized early in life that thoughts are things (units of mental energy) and they will go to your intended target. I discovered telepathy. I’ve practiced this throughout my entire life and the results have been impressive, like the time I paid a remote visit to my boss and asked if I could work from home instead of coming into the busy Los Angeles office. Working remotely was not a thing then, but I knew I could focus so much better at home and avoid a long commute. First, I asked my direct supervisor, who said it was not likely, but he’d ask the boss anyway. I heard nothing for a while, but two weeks later, my boss called me and agreed that I could work from home and come to the office for meetings as needed. I remember when I paid him remote visits, he was always in a hotel room. He traveled a lot for his work. In his room, he sat at a round table wearing only his underwear. I’m sure my mind dressed him this way to make him less intimidating. I saw myself having conversations about how he would benefit from letting me work from home and that he could trust that I’d get my work done and then some. It worked and it paid off! I’ve used remote visits (telepathy) to speak with potential employers, family members, romantic partners, my kids, and anyone I wanted to influence in my favor. You can ask for things, make amends, explain yourself, bless, and offer healing to people… the possibilities are endless. Keep in mind, that the receiver (or target) has free will, so even though they receive your visit, they get to decide what to do about it. Simply put, telepathy is mental communication with an agenda. It’s not meant to be forceful or coercive and it’s in your best interest to be mindful of what you ask for. I’m sure you’ve been on the receiving end of a remote visit a time or two. Whenever someone is thinking about you, they are sending energy your way. Have you ever had a thought suddenly strike you like, “I should call my mom” and then you go to call her and she’s calling you? Telepathy is a fairly common occurrence since we are energy beings first. Imagine if you made remote visits and practiced telepathy with focus, intention, and purpose. Imagine the outcomes you can create and influence simply by focusing your mind. I recommend using a lit candle for beginners. Gazing at the flame helps to maintain your focus in a soft, mesmerizing way that’s not too controlling. You don’t want to find yourself trying too hard. Ease into it and fire up your amazing imagination to see your desired outcome play out in detail. Enjoy the process and let yourself feel as if the thing you’re intending is happening. Steps to Visit People Remotely Decide who you want to visit and why. What outcome do you want? In a peaceful place where you won’t be disturbed, light a candle and softly gaze at the flame. Feel your body become light and lucid. In this peaceful place, imagine your person. Where are they? What are they wearing? Get comfortable with them. Perhaps you’re sitting on your sofa face to face or across a table, or you’re whispering in their ear. Imagine a conversation with them. You start and speak your peace. What would you like them to know or feel? You can stop there or you can tune in to hear what they have to say to you. Continue the conversation if you want to. Lead the conversation to where you want it to go. When you’re finished, thank them for listening and go on your way. You’ll likely hear from your person or receive evidence of the outcome you want within a day, so long as you don’t interfere by force, coercion, or obsessive behaviors. That will block you.

How You’re Blocking Your Healing and How to Allow It Instead 49:49

3 years ago49:49

49:49

https://youtu.be/UKCh0fAVJzM Well-being is the nature of the Universe. If all healing at the levels of mind, body, and spirit is self-healing, how come some people heal while others don’t? Are you blocking the inner wisdom of your body to heal itself? Are you taking responsibility for your own healing or are you giving your power away? If you look to nature, you can see for yourself that well-being permeates the planet. It’s apparent in plants, animals, the cosmos… and people. There’s an intelligence flowing through everything that causes its growth and expansion. It’s protective and beautiful All healing is self-healing. Healing cannot take place without your consent, collaboration, or at the very least, your cooperation. At some level, there must be a buy-in to your healing or it won’t happen. Why’s that? Because all healing is self-healing. Healing comes from within. It’s not an external thing that happens to you. It’s an internal thing that happens because of you. Somewhere deep inside, you have a belief that healing is possible – and so it is. On the contrary, if you believe that healing is impossible then it is and healing won’t happen. Are you starting to see where the healing power stems from? Disclaimer Just because all healing is self-healing doesn’t mean that you can or must heal everything that goes wrong. Some things are out of your control. We have environmental toxins, contagious viruses, trauma, and the law of momentum. For the sake of this conversation, I’m focusing on the things you can control – or manage to a great degree. And believe me when I say there are many variables that are within your control. Some of you will hate what I have to say, but I’m going to say it anyway. I’m not here to placate illness and disease. I’m here to promote your natural state of health and wellbeing. I’m not about avoiding death, that’s inevitable for all of us. What I am advocating for is Quality of Life. And it’s available to all of us. This article covers the larger ways we block ourselves from healing – and solutions, so we can turn the momentum around and affect our own healing processes. Placebo Effect Thoughts are things. Whatever you believe, it is. If you believe you have an incurable disease, you will not heal. Your brain is listening. If you believe your illness is a blip in the matrix and can be healed, your healing increases. The placebo effect has been tested over decades and is defined as “a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient’s belief in that treatment.” Nobody is coming to save you. Being passive in your healing is giving your power away. Doctors are the first people to tell you that they don’t know everything and they have an experimental approach to much of healing. And that’s as it should be. No two people are alike so there is no one-size-fits-all type of healing. This is one big experiment and there is no one answer. Get curious about yourself. Get curious about a cure or discover something that works for you because it could help someone else too. Silencing your symptom. When you’re sick, your amazing and efficient body is sending you signals that something is out of whack. What’s the first thing we typically do when we have one? Kill it. Cover it up. Take a pill to stop the symptom. What if instead we listened to the signal and got curious about what might be causing it. If we asked and listened, tap into our intuitions, we would receive information that could alleviate the problem at its core. Good health is something random or for the lucky few. It’s clear that we can’t control everything, but it is our responsibility to manage our wellbeing. Tap into the belief that everything is happening for you… not to you. Your body is your greatest ally but many people treat it like it’s working against them. That is so far from the truth. Tap into the kindness, allowances, and breaks it gives you despite how you treat it, what you feed it, and how you speak to your body. Good health is your birthright. Claim it. What role do you play in your suffering? Is it possible that having a victim mentality keeps a person sick? You bet your wellbeing it does! I know you know someone whose identity is all knotted up in their suffering. Who would they be without their aches and pains? What would they talk about? Thoughts are things and we are constantly in the creation process of our lives. If you find yourself attached to your illness, ask yourself “How does this serve me? What am I getting out of this?” Get curious about what drives your suffering. You have needs that need to be met. Are there healthier ways to meet them? Divorce your labels. The majority of illnesses and diseases are transitory. However, our culture insists on adopting labels and becoming our illnesses. Why is that? Why are we so quick to assume that an illness is forever and something we’ll have to “learn to live with?” We’re starting to understand the power of labels and using them more wisely. Instead of saying, “I am depressed”, for example, it’s recommended by mental health professionals to say, “I feel depressed.” This gives you room to not feel depressed eventually, instead of assuming you are depressed forever. Labels are helpful to understand situations and conditions, but they are not a life sentence. Lose the labels and see them as passing waves. Tell new stories. Stop telling the stories about your illness. Check how you start a conversation. Your energy is palpable and contagious. Please be responsible for the energy you bring to situations. If you start telling new stories of your health and wellbeing, you’ll soon embody it. Remember, your brain and body are listening to your inner monologue. Change the story and change your life. Stop fighting for your limitations. This goes back to the placebo effect. If you insist on your illness and claim it as yours, you form an unhealthy attachment to it. Remember how your cuts and scrapes healed like magic when you were a kid? That’s because you had zero resistance about it. If you simply believe that illnesses are diagnostic symptoms of a system that needs attention – and that it’s healable or fixable – you’ll open yourself up and allow the wellbeing of the universe to flow through you and heal you. You can do mindfulness work to rewrite your story and change up the energy around you. It can be an overnight process, but most folks need to ease into it, see proof that things are improving, and then they can continue on with less and less resistance. Go at your own pace and do what feels best for you. Choose your words. Your words are blessings or curses. Your brain and body are listening to what you say and responding to how you think. Use affirmations about your health. This may seem strange or like you’re faking it, but it can literally change your life. Affirm, “Thank you for my amazing health” or “My body gets stronger every day.” Bless yourself with words of kindness, healing, and wisdom. Ask better questions. Instead of asking, “Why me?” ask empowering questions like, “What’s the message here for me? What’s the lesson wanting to emerge?” One thing I know for sure is that we live in a responsive Universe. It is always answering our questions without prejudice. So, it’s just good medicine to ask questions that lead us to proactive answers instead of more evidence that supports our “why me?” stance. When your car has an issue, most of us immediately ask, “What’s happening here? What needs to be fixed?” We don’t label it with a forever condition. No, we take it to the mechanic and expect it to be repaired. Our bodies are just as repairable – if not more! Let food be your medicine. We all know that processed foods are making us fat and terribly sick. There are countless studies to confirm this. Choose healthy and whole foods that nourish your body temple. We are so abundantly blessed with natural foods that fuel our bodies for optimal health. Whole, organic, plant-based foods might cost more but think of the money you’ll save by cutting out processed foods and beverages that contribute to death and disease. Plus, you’ll look and feel great. Gratitude is the key to healing. Raise your vibration. Everything is energy and you are a magnet to the thoughts and feelings you’re broadcasting. Gratitude is love and it’s the highest frequency there is. Emit that and attract more of it back to you making you a clear channel for wellbeing and healing. Imagine yourself well. Your body is listening to your thoughts and thoughts are things. See yourself healthy. See yourself free of all this cumbersome attachment that keeps your world small. Play in the Disneyland of your mind and visualize you at your best, most healthy self. The imagination is the portal to all things manifested. It all starts there! Listen to your intuition. It knows everything. It’s your hardwire connection to Source energy where all the answers exist. When you’re not sure about something give it the Heart Test. Place your hands on your heart and ask what it thinks about any given situation. Don’t rush to your head to “figure it out.” Rest in this space and know with confidence that the best answer will come to you – either immediately or later when you’re not expecting it. Your intuition is subtle and the guidance comes when you are in a state of non-resistance. It takes a little practice and patience, but soon enough you’ll be entrained with your intuition and the answers come easily. All healing is self-healing. Be easy, open, and gentle with this. You’re already wired for it. Now you just have to let your brain catch up to what your higher self has always known. Ride the wave. Once something has gained enough momentum in your body, a flu virus, for example, you feel sick – meaning your body has already begun the healing process. Healing requires a certain amount of energy, so your body’s symptoms take over as a means to reserve the energy necessary for healing. This is why you’re tired. The intelligence of your body needs you down and out of the way so it can do its job and heal or regain alignment. Follow your natural impulses to sleep, rest and hydrate. When you have a fever, and as long as your body’s temperature is within a safe range, the heat is necessary for healing and your sweat will cool your skin. We have a tendency to view symptoms as something terrible when in fact they are the outward signs of our bodies working to heal us. Many people fight symptoms or try to eliminate them altogether. This only thwarts their own healing. They have introduced resistance to the equation. The best thing to do is to surrender to the illness, unless it’s life-threatening, and ride the wave. Do your part by listening to your symptoms and flowing with them. Seek medical attention if that’s what you feel. Get a Reiki treatment to accelerate your healing if that’s what you feel. Only you know your body, so tune in and do what feels best to be in the flow of your own healing process. RESOURCES Are you an Empath?

How to use Feng Shui for Manifesting 25:12

3 years ago25:12

25:12

https://youtu.be/2U6mV7403Tg Does your environment matter when you’re manifesting? Absolutely, it does! And get this… you’re manifesting right now! The question is, “What are you manifesting, and are you happy with it?” If not, change it! Neglecting your environment in the manifestation process is a big problem! I’ll show you how to use Feng Shui for manifesting anything! Leveraging feng shui is an absolute must for conscious creation. Your space is a reflection of you and what’s going on inside of you. And it’s the inside that is doing the broadcasting to the Universe. That is the stuff that is magnetizing similar situations and things back to you. So how do you help your insides? How do you quiet those fears and anxieties? How do you find peace and calm inside your body and brain? You cultivate it! Yes, you have to create peace… it’s not coming to find you – you have to find it. There are a thousand and one ways to do this, but for now, we’ll focus on creating clarity and peace by leveraging the art and science of feng shui. In other words, you can literally become a clear and peaceful channel for all the things that you desire simply by moving the stuff in your house around! “You could pray for 1,000 nights, visualize for 1,000 days, and give thanks for 1,000 things, but it’s when you physically prepare the way that 1,000 miracles will find you.” mike dooley – notes from the universe Preparing the way is always the first step in manifesting anything and everything. This is why feng shui is a big part of my manifesting toolbox and should be a part of yours too. What is Feng Shui? Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy or “qi” (pronounced chee). It literally translates to “wind & water.” I see feng shui as the art of manifesting on the physical plane by clearing energy and creating space or channels for energy to flow at its optimum, healthy level. This flow makes manifesting easier and more graceful. When your physical space is cleared and open for energy to travel, so are YOU. Conversely, when your physical space is cluttered, messy, and disorganized so are YOU and there is no room for energy or manifestations to flow. You become blocked to your dreams and desires. There’s a CURE for that! In feng shui, the solutions to blocked or disorganized energy are called “cures” and there is a cure for everything, so don’t worry! It’s all fixable. Cures consist of creating energetic balance by incorporating elements of the earth in your living spaces. Those elements include wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. When you are in harmony with the earth, you’re grounded, and being grounded leads to calm, peaceful energy. There are traditional feng shui cures and more modern ones – and they all include simple fixes using light, sound, living things, weighted objects color, things that move, electricity, symbolic objects, and empty space. A traditional feng shui cure would be incorporating a red front door on your home to attract good luck and monetary fortune. Another example would be installing a mirror in your business across from your cash register to double the money and call in even more cash. Modern feng shui cures include anything that speaks to your soul and raises your vibration to make you an inspired attractor to the things you want to manifest. For example, you want to attract a new romantic partner. You could move your bed so that it’s accessible to two people, include two pillows, two nightstands – keeping one empty for their stuff – and keeping two candles lit in the kitchen to inspire coupling. Modern feng shui cures are dependent upon how you see the world. What lights you up? What sparks love, money or health to YOU? You can decorate your spaces to inspire those desires and whenever you sense them, you are calibrated to your desires again – making you a magnet to all that you want. YOU are the magic in feng shui. Traditional feng shui emphasizes the placement of objects responsible for changing the chi and creating luck and good fortune, while I believe that changing energy certainly matters, I believe that the magic maker in feng shui is YOU. Think about it. While you are “feng shui-ing” your bedroom for partnership, for example, you are setting strong intentions simply by moving things, dreaming about the outcome, and feeling what it will be like to be in partnership. You are believing the manifestation into form and Universal energy is responding to YOU – your vibe- your energy. Are you picking up what I’m putting down? Go ahead and feng shui your place with traditional and non-traditional cures. Whatever rocks your boat is going to be the most powerful cure you can implement. The Bagua The Bagua (translates to 8 areas) is the map used in feng shui to organize the areas of your home or any space, really. When you concentrate your efforts on feng-shui-ing one space at a time, you are double-downing your manifesting mojo! Feng shui really is brilliant. The areas of the Bagua include: Wealth & Prosperity Fame & Reputation Relationships Family Health (the Heart of the Bagua) Children & Creativity Knowledge Career Travel & Helpful People The way to navigate the map is to position yourself at your front door (main door of home) and hold the map in front of you. You’ll be standing in either the Knowledge, Career or Helpful People section, as you line the bottom of the map as the starting point. You can feng shui your entire house and concentrate on certain areas where you’re wanting improvements. You can also use the map to section off one room at a time, your garage, front porch, backyard, your desk or even your car. You’re only limited by your imagination. Feng Shui Rules & Superstitions As you jump up to do your feng shui research, you’re going to discover lots of rules and superstitions that might invoke feelings of insecurity or fear. This is where I draw the line and call on my own power – recalling that I’m the manifestor here. I urge you to do the same and put some of those ancient superstitions to the intellectual test. They don’t hold much weight and it’s important to remember their historical significance. As brilliant as feng shui is, many of the cures are nonsensical. Remember that nothing has meaning except the meaning we give it, so keep the feng shui cures that spark your soul and ditch the ones that cause any type of resistance in your body or brain. And most importantly, have FUN with this! Get busy manifesting your deepest dreams and desires!

You feel big changes bubbling up inside and think to yourself, “This is MY year! I’m gonna rock it this time.” Three weeks later, your dreams are dashed and the wind is knocked from your sails. Nothing happened and you’re back to square one! History is bound to repeat itself. Oh, no! In this article, we’ll explore what is messing up your manifestations and what to do abou t it! I’m sure you know of people who manifest amazing things in their lives and you wonder just what is their secret sauce. You doubt your own abilities and ask the debilitating question, “Why can’t I do that?” Well, I’m here to tell you that you can do that! You are equipped with the same resources to manifest as everybody else. You literally can be, do and have whatever your heart desires. But first, you have to understand a few things, like the principles of manifesting and certain Universal Laws… but most of all, you have to get out of your own way! Let’s back up a bit and cover the 4 Steps to Manifest Anything: Ask Align Allow Take Aligned Action From what I’ve observed over the years is that most people get tripped up on Step #2: Align. It’s the step that throws most people off course and consequently messes up their manifestations. What is Alignment? Energetic Alignment is Step 2 in the Manifestation Process. It’s not a one-and-done step! Alignment takes self-awareness and daily practice. Let’s explore what Alignment is and how to maintain it. Alignment means becoming a vibrational match to the things you’re wanting. Since everything is energy, including you – your body, mind, and spirit are constantly broadcasting certain frequencies or vibrations out into the atmosphere. Your vibration or “vibe” is attracting back to you people, places, and situations that match your vibe much like a magnet – 100% of the time whether you are aware of it or not. We live in a Responsive Universe Let’s use an example. Let’s say you tell your spouse, your couples counselor, and anyone interested that you want your marriage to work and that you’re willing to do what it takes to improve it. But in your heart, you feel depleted, lost, and resentful towards your husband and in the deep spaces of your mind, you equate marriage to prison and yearn for a change. Well, you cannot fake alignment! Your inner broadcast always overrides lip service. Energy never lies and the Universe is always responding to your inner broadcast. So, you might as well come clean and own your deep desires instead of squashing them and manifesting even more misery – which often leads to illness and disease, which is the ultimate misalignment and assault to your very spirit. (Another topic altogether. I digress.) How to get into energetic alignment with your dreams & desires Getting into alignment and maintaining alignment requires self-awareness and daily practice. It doesn’t have to be a difficult task and should be treated with a gentle and compassionate approach. Once you gain momentum with this, it becomes easier and easier as you replace old habits with new ones that truly serve you. Clear Your Energy The first part of getting into alignment is to clear your energy. Think, “Out with the old and in with the new!” Check yourself. Does your desire feel realistic to you? Do you believe you can really lose that weight, for example. How’s your sense of worthiness? Do you feel you deserve what you’re asking for? If not, you’re starting the manifestation process uphill and it will be difficult if not impossible unless you do the inner work necessary. Clean up debilitating limited beliefs. Your beliefs are just thoughts you keep thinking. They are subjective and mutable. Don’t get so attached to them and allow them to dictate your story. You can change your thoughts and beliefs anytime – and it’s imperative to swap those crappy thoughts for ones that truly serve you. This takes self-awareness and the ability to observe yourself. Get rid of ANTS. Dr. Amen labels “automatice negative thinking” as ANTS. They are pesky, annoying and can take over lots of ground in a short time! Catch your ANTS and redirect your thinking to a different, more positive place. This too takes practice, but in time it becomes your new reality. It’s a necessary practice if you want to get out of your rut and manifest BETTER. Line Up Your Energy Now that you’ve made some room, it’s time to align your energy to the things you’re wanting to manifest. Act as if. Even if your belief isn’t completely lined up with your desire, pretend it is so. Imagine what your life would be like with that desire in place – a highly profitable business, an ideal romantic partner, children, marriage, amazing health, a reunited family, traveling to South America and hiking Machu Picchu… Maintain a healthy vibe. Feed your energy well with things that inspire you, like good music, positive TV, and uplifting books. Ground yourself regularly by being in nature or playing with your pet. Practice self-care on the regular and treat yourself with loving kindness. Make up mantras and affirmations that can shake you out of a funk fast! Something as easy as, “I own this day” or “I’m a love magnet”… you get the idea. Weed your garden. Become the constant gardener of your life! Nobody else will. Plant your garden (dreams and desires) with love, fertilize and water it expecting your inevitable harvest (manifestations). Occasionally pull the weeds as they pop up (doubts, limiting thoughts, old beliefs) and toss them in the trash. You’ll have weeds, but you’ve got bigger tools to deal with them – much bigger tools! Use them, gardener! Manifesting is not hard work, but it does take awareness and practice. “Efforting” will only further block your progress, so be easy with this. Once you understand and buy into the manifesting process, it will become so much easier! And then it becomes a lifestyle of wash, rinse, repeat! Remember your inner brilliance!…

Manifesting Step 3: ALLOW 1:00:06

3 years ago1:00:06

1:00:06

https://youtu.be/GnvkTUNBqaM Manifesting anything requires receptivity or allowing on your part. How can a manifestation come through if you don’t allow it? You may think you’re receptive, but are you really? There’s a high probability that you’re unconsciously blocking the very things you want. Just how receptive are you? Take my Receptivity Quiz to find out. Receptivity is also necessary for Step 4, Aligned Action, to happen. Aligned Action is rooted in intuition. Intuition is impossible without receptivity. Are you starting to see the importance of Allowing and how all of the steps are connected? (By the way, I use the terms allowing and receiving interchangeably.) Manifestation Blocks Let’s take a minute to explore the things that block manifestations before diving into the solutions. Personal baggage. This is the #1 manifestation block, bar none. Baggage is bondage, and it can include but is not limited to holding onto blame, judgment, resentment, and looking for occasions to be offended. This type of baggage keeps a person in the victim cycle where not much good can enter. This is where I lovingly coach my students to check themselves. We are evolutionary beings – works in progress – that require constant maintenance and lots of love. Micromanaging the manifestations. Control freaks beware! Manifesting is a collaboration with the laws of the Universe not an exercise of personal will and ego. Just as if you are planting a new wildflower garden, you don’t dig up the seeds every day to see how the plants are growing – disrupting their process – or stand over them yelling at them to hurry up. No, you prepare the soil, fertilize it, plant the seeds, water, and occasionally weed the area to allow space for the flowers to grow. Manifesting follows the same process! Impatience. The art of manifesting includes working with the many laws of the Universe, not just the law of attraction. When manifesting, it’s helpful to keep the law of gestation or divine timing in mind. Everything has a process and most of the moving parts are unseen. It takes patience and faith when it comes to manifesting. Let’s revisit the wildflowers. We plant the seeds in faith that flowers will be the end result. We don’t know for sure, but we know enough to proceed. That’s huge in manifesting and takes a degree of humility. And then we experience the unfoldment in due time! Unclear ask. You may have gone too general in your desire. Perhaps you want to manifest more money. How much more? Will a dollar do? To help the process along, get specific in your desires. They don’t have to be perfect so don’t sabotage yourself with paralysis. You can always pivot, go back to the drawing board and fill in the details as you experience contrast that redirects your desires. Flexibility is your friend in the manifesting process. The more you know, the more details you can include in your ask to make them more specific. But at the same time, don’t pigeonhole yourself. Here’s how. Let’s take the more money example and tweak it: I am so grateful now that I receive a monthly income of $10,000 or more! It’s specific and there’s room to be gifted with more. There’s no room. This is when we leverage what I call the vacuum law. The Universe abhors a vacuum and will always fill it. But if it’s already full, there is no room for the manifestation to land. It’s as if you don’t really believe that it will manifest, so you hold on to what you’ve got. This is a double block! The simple solution to this is to make room for the things you want. Make room for the new lover. Clear out your old clothes to make room for your new ones. Create the vacuum so the Universe can fill it up. It wants to. Otherwise, you’ll get passed over just because you don’t have the capacity. Limiting beliefs. The lack of faith will stop you in your tracks. You probably won’t even get the plane off the ground without an initial belief that you can. This one is tricky because many of these limiting beliefs stem from childhood, which means they have a long history and deep neuropathways carved in the brain. All is not lost, though! With self-awareness, curiosity, and practice, we can unravel the stories that bind us and repave our processors. We are adaptable like that. With loving kindness and patience, we can heal the past and clean up our wounds. As we feel better, we believe better. Self-care is mandatory for manifesting. Stuck on WHOs and HOWs. When you attach yourself to a certain WHO or HOW you’re literally stepping on the toes of the Universe and blocking your manifestations. Mike Dooley so brilliantly reminds us, “The HOWs are the domain of the Universe.” Your job in manifesting is to state the WHAT. For example, you want to get married in 2022. Currently, you’re not in a relationship, but you’re set on marrying your crush. You become a bit obsessed and focus on calling in the crush – and that’s perfectly fine and your choice! But what if there is someone more suitable for you that you don’t know yet? What if you simply focused on your WHAT and WHY? For example, I want to be married in 2022 to my ideal partner who appreciates self-growth, adventure, and fun as much as I do so I can play more, love and be loved, and continue this journey always exploring and growing together. That opens the space for unlimited opportunity and reveling in the mysterious domain of the Universe. How to Allow Manifestation There is an art to allowing. It begins with getting out of one’s way and being in a receptive mode more than not. There are many ways to activate your receptivity, but for this conversation, I’m going to limit it to the easiest, most effective way to flip your receptivity on and that is to practice GRATITUDE. Being in a state of gratitude is to be in a constant state of receptivity. Try to be worried and grateful at the same time. You can’t. Activating a sense of gratitude is the best medicine to shift your energy and start allowing the good stuff to flow. Gratitude Journal Exercise For your homework today, complete this sentence: I’m so grateful for these people, places, circumstances, and physical things in my life now! As you are making your list, you are remembering or imagining the pleasure and joy these things bring to your life. And as you do that, you are in a receptive place calling in more things to be grateful for.

Manifesting Step 2: ALIGN 58:49

3 years ago58:49

58:49

https://www.youtube.com/embed/s2o9wdmKh54 What is Alignment? Alignment is everything when it comes to manifesting. In Step 1 of the Manifesting Process , you asked for what you wanted. You wrote down your dreams, desires, and goals for 2022. You got clear on your WHYs and started to imagine or visualize how your life will be once your desires become realized. Now the real adventure begins! Your journey moving forward is about managing your energy with awareness, intention, and focus so that you become an energetic match to the things you’re wanting to bring into form. We’ve already clarified that everything is energy, right? You are an energetic being always transmitting certain frequencies by way of your mood, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings. In other words, you are always broadcasting an energetic vibration or “vibe.” That vibe that you’re broadcasting, whether you’re conscious of it or not, is like a magnet drawing back to you much of the same vibe. So, if you’re in a foul, grumpy mood, for example, you’re going to attract more situations that match and feed your current energy. Like attracts like. If you’re in a kind and generous mood, you’ll attract more of that. So doesn’t it make good sense to manage your energy more consciously? When you are manifesting deliberately, managing your energy isn’t just good sense, it’s absolutely necessary! You must be energetically aligned or a vibrational match to the things you want to manifest. It’s the only way they will. Alignment is not a one-and-done task to be checked off your list. Energetic alignment takes awareness and daily practice – not efforting, but practice. I liken energetic hygiene to personal hygiene or physical fitness. It’s something you address daily and make choices that support or sabotage it throughout the day. The choice is always yours. Alignment and Empaths Energetic Alignment for the sensitives and empaths can be challenging for the unpracticed. Most empaths, including myself, tend to take things personally and can become emotionally reactive to external circumstances. We feel emotionally hijacked because we have lost our alignment and have given our power away. As a result, we manifest poorly from a place of powerlessness. The good news is, we can flip this script and become powerful manifestors as we leverage our sensitivity proactively. When we realize our power and train ourselves to take nothing personally, to become observers of other people’s energy (OPE), we can sit firmly in the director chair of our lives and manage our energy beautifully and align ourselves with our deepest desires. It just takes practice like anything else. This is why awareness and daily practice are essential in manifesting – simply because you’re human and life throws curveballs. Practicing energetic alignment keeps us flexible and adaptable so we can pivot when necessary and not break. Energy Management Tips How do you keep your vibe healthy and high? How do you clean up those occasional messy vibes? How do you align your energy to match your manifestations? Here are a few ideas that you probably already do. Now you can do them deliberately as part of your energy management system. Ground yourself. Get yourself in nature. Walk barefoot, jump in the lake, feel the earth, take a hike. Meditate. Sleep is the highest form of meditation, according to the Dalai Lama, so don’t worry if you don’t sit in the lotus position to meditate. There are many ways to meditate. The intention is to slow your mind and body. Breathe. Breathing deeply is the quickest way to re-direct or re-set your energy. Visualize. Imagine your life as if you’ve manifested your desires. Play in your head. It’s the birthplace for all manifestations. Speak or write affirmations and mantras. Create your own short, sweet phrase that can put you back into the now and back into your power. Play music. Music is an instant energy changer and something we all can relate to. Music is powerful. Use it. Pray or connect with the God of your understanding. This can be achieved by being in nature, getting on your knees, meditating with Buddha beads… it’s your call and it’s all good. Feed your mind well. Watch uplifting TV or listen to podcasts that teach you something useful. Read. There’s a lot of competition for your attention. Get picky about what you let in. It affects your energy. Practice appreciation. When you see the beauty in things, your vibe rises like crazy! Look for the good. Keep good company. Your energy is precious. Share it with those who match it and lift you up. Forgive the past. Holding resentments makes you a hostage. Free yourself and feel your energy heal and rise. Eat clean. Consume foods that give you life and nourish your body. Hydrate. Treat your temple well. Feng shui your living space. Declutter, make space, create beauty where you hang out most. Your space affects your vibe. Make it nice! Bottom Line The world and all its trappings will challenge you, affect your energy and occasionally knock you off your center. Get ahead of it. Practice daily energetic hygiene. Manage your energy well and become the director and starring role in this movie called your life. Manifest like a boss. You’ve got this! Homework Let’s get you energetically aligned with the things you want to manifest. Take your one big intention for 2022 and in your journal, you’re going to re-write it. Write this down: I am so happy and grateful now that ____ because now I feel ____ and I can ____. Act as if this is happening now, so keep your verbs in the present tense (I am living in, I am at my ideal weight, I am married, etc) Fill in the blanks, add more! Imagine your outcome. Imagine all the ways your life has changed. Capture the details, the environment, how you feel, what you look like… have fun with this journal activity! Next, create a simple affirmation or mantra that easily shifts your mood, energy, and focus (I’m a money-making machine, All of my needs are met, and then some, Be here now, for example.) Last, energetically align a physical space in your home where you most hang out. Start small. Clear the clutter, make it nice. Hang a picture. Add a plant. Notice your mood as you complete the task! That’s it for today! I’ll see you tomorrow for Step 3: ALLOW. Worthy Mentions The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz…

Manifesting Step 1: ASK 53:26

3 years ago53:26

53:26

https://www.youtube.com/embed/1JyfI9kWiT4 One thing I know for sure is this: We live in a Responsive Universe. The Universe is always listening and responding to our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs by delivering to us people, places, and situations that match them. Your thoughts and feelings are like magnets drawing back to you (the sender) energetic matches – 24/7. So, if you don’t like what you see in your environment you can change it by first changing your own energy, and then you can attract something better. Most people are not aware of their magnetism and end up manifesting by default. They attract more of ‘what is’ – not comprehending their amazing ability to co-create with the Universe. This kind of complacency and unawareness leads to depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and feelings of powerlessness. But not you. You know better. You sense there’s something bigger and more magical going on, or you wouldn’t be here reading this. You are wired for success. You are wired to manifest or bring into physical form all of your dreams, desires, and goals. It all starts in your imagination. You are the only creature on the planet with an imagination which signifies you are here to create. Why else would you have one? Your imagination is the incubator for all things manifested. You have an inspired thought that sparks a desire and your imagination keeps it alive. Every time you dream or allow the inspired thought to play itself out, you are in the creation process. Isn’t that amazing when you stop to think about it?! No other creature on the planet has this ability. So imagine if you used your imagination intentionally to manifest your dreams, desires, and goals? What if you become a deliberate creator of your reality? 4 Steps to Manifesting Ask – Get clear on your goals, dreams, desires. Wish big! Get clear on your WHYs. Align – Clear the way to make room for your desires. Check your thoughts and habits. Allow – Dig in and see what’s blocked you in the past and become an amazing receiver. Aligned Action – Leverage your intuition for higher guidance that is aligned with YOU. Manifesting Step 1: Ask Today’s training covers the ASK. We’ve already determined that we live in a Responsive Universe and that we’re always asking by our desires and through our contrasting situations, but for the Manifest 2022 Challenge, we are going to ask with intention and purpose. Get out your journal and thoughtfully answer the following questions. Don’t edit your responses or stop writing because you don’t know HOW you’ll manifest the things you want. This is a light, easy exercise! Let yourself dream and imagine with child-like wonder! What is your one BIG desire, dream or goal for 2022? What have you been thinking about? What has been getting your attention the most? Why do you want this? What will change? How will you feel? What changes would you like to make in your relationships – family, friends, social life, love life? Why? What changes would you like to make in your physical health and wellbeing? Be specific. Why? What changes would you like to see in your finances – career, job, income, business? Why? What about your personal development? How would you like to see yourself grow? What would you like to learn or improve? What would you like to experience in your spiritual life? As you write about your dreams, goals, and desires, feel about them too! Remember to write down your WHYs for each of them. How will having your dreams manifest make you feel? What will change? How will you change? Download this handly Printable Vision Board to map out your 2022 top dreams, goals and desires. And that’s it for today! Dare to dream big, think unlimited, and have fun with this! I’ll see you tomorrow for Step 2: ALIGN. Like my t-shirt? Get your 11:11 Make a Wish! t-shirt as a reminder that the Universe is always listening!…

Why New Year Resolutions Fail (and what to do instead) 22:29

3 years ago22:29

22:29

https://www.youtube.com/embed/OS2ZS-eu_uc The new year traditionally symbolizes a new chapter opening in the book that is your life. And after the last two years, some of us may want to simply write an entirely new book instead! But while so many people aspire to achieve ambitious goals, only 12% of you will ever experience the taste of victory. Sound discouraging? It is. 156 million people (that’s 156,000,000) will probably give up on their resolution before you can say “pop the cork.” Why New Year Resolutions Fail 1. You’re treating a marathon like a sprint. Creating or manifesting anything new or worthwhile takes time. Creation is a process, not a race. Our insta society wants everything NOW. It’s imperative to slow your roll and allow the Law of Gestation to happen. There are moving parts behind the scenes that are setting the stage for you. Get a longer, wider perspective and practice a little patience. 2. You don’t believe in yourself. Many of you are letting the past dictate your future – either consciously or unconsciously. Old thoughts and habits are choreographing your next steps. See your old thoughts, beliefs, and habits as mutable. You can change them! This starts with awareness of self and putting yourself in check. Question everything – especially your own thinking. Where did those thoughts and beliefs come from? Are they true or relevant? 3. Too much thinking, not enough allowing. I love a good intellect, don’t get me wrong. The mind is a beautiful thing, but if it’s your only processor you’re missing out on experiencing grace and ease. Trying to figure everything out and how you will achieve your goals and dreams can be exhausting when you don’t have to. Most times it’s better to get out of your head and into your heart. This is where you can relinquish control, trust the manifesting process, paddle downstream instead of upstream, and allow all the goodness you desire to come your way. Take it easy. 4. You don’t enjoy the process. Likely because you’re trying somebody else’s process. This means your directions are not coming from an intuitive place. Perhaps you’re doing what you think you “should” do, according to popular opinion. When you operate at this level inspiration is hard to come by. Your process is going to be different from everyone elses’ because one size does not fit all! It’s important to leverage your intuition to receive guidance from a higher source and not the average, boring information out there. 5. You’re trying too hard. Efforting = Resistance. This ties in with #3. You are trying to control the outcome and not allowing the benevolence of the Universe to unfold organically in its own time. Nobody likes a micromanager so it would benefit you to stop doing it and trust the process. Yes, you are a powerful creator and that’s awesome! But that’s only part of the equation. Your desire is being responded to energetically by the magic of the Universe too! This is a collaboration, not a one-man show. 6. You don’t track your progress. Keep a journal to track your progress, your successes, and hiccups. When you do, you’ll see patterns emerge and then you can pivot when necessary. When you see your successes on paper, it lifts your energy, creates momentum for more success, and feeds your confidence to continue. When you take the time to read your past journal entries, you’ll more than likely impress yourself! You’ll see how you rose above certain situations, survived a few others and how you’ve beautifully evolved. It’s quite insightful. 7. You have no social support or accountability. John Donne reminds us that “No man is an island.” In other words, no one is truly self-sufficient. Everyone must rely on the company and comfort of others in order to thrive. Isolation is a killer and we’ve all experienced what isolation feels like over the last couple of years. Working on a goal or dream within a group of supportive people is a game-changer. Having a community to support you on your path is just good medicine for you and for the community! 8. You know your what but not your why. When you make a resolution you intellectually know the what or the thing you want to achieve. But what is your WHY? Your WHY is your emotional drive that creates lasting inspiration. The WHAT can keep you motivated, but that’s fleeting. Inspiration speaks to your whole self – mind, body, and spirit. For example, your goal is to purchase a home in 2022. That’s the WHAT. But what’s your WHY? Oh, so you can start a family, become a parent and experience unconditional love, provide a loving space for yourself, feel grounded, start a garden, have amazing dinners with friends, and be part of a community? Those WHYs will keep you going. Bottom Line: The reason New Year resolutions fail is that you’re out of alignment with what you say you want. Your words, energy, and actions are not aligning. Do this instead: Get ALIGNED. Energetic alignment takes self-awareness and daily practice. Your energetic hygiene determines the outcomes in all areas of your life. That’s a pretty heavy statement and I stand behind it 100%. Managing your energy is everything and the key to manifesting anything! It’s a simple concept but we humans make it entirely too complicated and difficult to do. It doesn’t have to be like this. Once you learn how to manage your energetic alignment, you become an unstoppable and amazing manifestor. How do I become and amazing manifestor? Put your manifesting mojo to the test! Join my Manifest 2022 Challenge for a 3-day sample of what it’s like being a member inside Enchanted Empath Community and discover the 4 step process of the Art of Manifesting: Ask – Get clear on your goals, dreams, desires.

Why Empaths Hate Their Cell Phones 22:30

3 years ago22:30

22:30

https://www.youtube.com/embed/fFGFE4o0Itw There’s a lot to love about smartphones. Smartphone technology makes life super easy and convenient, no doubt! But there’s a dark side to cell phones that empaths truly hate. Empaths are naturally sensitive. Let’s face it. Phones can be loud, invasive, and disruptive. Getting calls, robocalls, emails, notifications of every kind, and text messages all day long can be maddening to the empath. Typically, empaths are quiet and independent. We rely more on intuition for guidance, so we need quiet to tune in, and process our thoughts and emotions. Phone stimulation can be overwhelming for the empath, especially one who does not enjoy multitasking. Cell phone addiction Cell phones have dominated our attention and we’ve become addicted to them. According to a global tech company, Asurion, “Americans check their phones 96 times a day – that’s once every 10 minutes on average.” That number is up 20% from two years ago, indicating the problem is only growing. As a culture, we have become dopamine addicts. We want a quick hit of pleasure and smartphones fit the bill – for 10 minutes or so, and then we need another hit. Dopamine is a slippery neurotransmitter that feeds the brain gratification and leaves it wanting more – and more, creating anxiety and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Serotonin on the other hand is also a pleasure-producing neurotransmitter that creates lasting satisfaction and even joy. We create serotonin when we’re in nature, in love, and experiencing the beauty of the world. An easy way to remember the difference between dopamine and serotonin is this: Dopamine will cost you. You have to pay for the high and it won’t last long, whereas, serotonin is free and readily available, but it takes a little effort on your part to activate it. Empaths hate being controlled. I’ve never met an empath who wasn’t naturally rebellious. Empaths are hypersensitive to the controlling energy of others and don’t tolerate it well. That’s why most of us avoid crowds and have a strong dislike for herd marketing and dodge places like Disneyland and Las Vegas. Having a smartphone is like having Vegas in your pocket. It can be sensory overload leaving the empath feeling like their brain, mind, money, and attention are being hijacked. The good news is we can mitigate that! Smartphone Tips for Empaths Turn your ringer off. This is the easiest way to avoid all the noise. When you must have the ringer on, choose a ringtone that is soothing and doesn’t startle you. Turn your phone over. Like I said earlier, smartphone technology is amazing and vital for business, so most of us need it nearby when we’re working. To avoid the notification popups, and screen noise, flip your phone over face down. You can check the phone on your time. Select which notifications are important to you and turn the rest off. Do you really need to know that Peggy just posted her lunch on Facebook? No, but you might want to know when you get a gig on Fiverr. Schedule no screen time. Put the phone down. Far away. Especially at night so you can get a good night’s sleep and avoid developing Tech Neck. Save your spine! Get dopamine aware and manage it. Where else are you buying the quick hits that leave you chasing them mindlessly? Go on a dopamine cleanse and focus on your serotonin uptakes. It will increase the joy in your life. Inform your friends, family, and clients about your phone availability. Set up your clients so they can easily schedule their own appointments. They will understand. Just keep in mind, “Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” (unknown source) Ferris Bueller said, “Life moves pretty fast.

How Intuition & Synchronicity Work 37:41

4 years ago37:41

37:41

https://www.youtube.com/embed/UAz6LCjMbtA Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, linked intuition to synchronicity, which he defined as: “The coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer.” We’ve all experienced coincidences in our lives. However, at times there are coincidences that are so perfectly tailored to a detail and so improbable in terms of timing that you can’t dismiss it. In this soulcast, let’s explore the links between Intuition and Synchronicity and how to leverage both for clarity and guidance. Don’t go “out there” for the answers. Go inside. I’ll show you how.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bj3bpFi8lwE Dealing with other people’s energy is the #1 issue for the Empath.

This is a safe and private place for Empaths and sensitives to develop their intuitions, explore energy healing and become masterful manifestors.

It’s been a Cruel Summer 39:32

39:32

https://www.youtube.com/embed/A3Jtdtdifcs It’s been a minute since my last soulcast. I’m rested and feeling more aligned, so it’s time for me to get back to the work I love! I want to share my story with you, not for sympathy, but for the teachable moments that peppered my experience. Being an empath is a double edged sword. I’m typically on the light side of it, but over the last few months, I faced the dark side like I’ve never faced before. I’m healing and grateful for all the lessons and the internal shifts that continue to happen. Maybe my story can help you somehow. I didn’t get through it alone! These are a few of the wise and insightful resources I leaned on: Sober Sis: https://www.sobersis.com/ss-home Jay Shetty On Purpose Podcast: https://jayshetty.me/podcast/ Jay Shetty “Think Like a Monk” book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3olkciy FitMind Podcast: https://www.fitmind.co/ Mind Your Business with James Wedmore Podcast: https://www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com / Resources I didn’t mention, but recommend: I Am Sober App: https://iamsober.com/ CHILL The F*CK OUT by Apothekary: http://apothekary.refr.cc/charlenemurphy (this on is a referral link) Resources I’m most grateful for: My friends!
