Insightful Inspirations

As I work out decisions and issues in my lives I see the issue with having so many choices. We want freedom to choose and the options available, but sometimes all of those options cause stress. The question becomes is it more stress to have the options or NOT to have the options. I personally still prefer the struggle over the options vs. the limitations.  I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know myself and what I do want, when presented the choices.

Sometimes people turn to me to answer these questions on choices for them. I understand the lure of it. I wish I had all of the answers and knew the BEST choice at all times. But the truth is, sometimes the best choice is the “wrong” choice, because it takes us where we want to go on a level we couldn’t do with our thinking mind A friend of mine gave me an article today about how people can get addicted to having someone else tell them what to do next, aka calling psychic hotlines. I don’t have a psychic hotline… in fact, I don’t charge by the minute and I rarely work with anyone without an appointment.  But, I do still see people lured into the idea that someone else might be able to tell them what decision to make.

If you have had a reading with me, you know I don’t give you any answers, just information about the energy regarding each of your choices. Then you are free to choose as you wish. That being said sometimes it is helpful to get another energetic perspective in that regard. But never to take away from your own intuition on what is right.

Insightful Inspiration of the week

Take a pressing matter you have in your mind right now. Something you think you “should” decide on soon. Maybe it is about a relationship, a job, or just what to have for dinner. Layout all of your options on a piece of paper. Listen to yourself about these choices. Have a conversation with yourself.

Is the issue that you feel you don’t have enough choices or you have too many? How can you give yourself more choices? Get creative. There are always new ideas to be had in regards to choices. If you have too many, are there ones that are just there because you want to weigh all of the options? Do you really need them on your list?

Do you have to decide right now? Can you wait until things get a little clearer?

How does each choice feel in your body. Does your stomach clench up when you think about doing it? Does your energy feel lighter when you think of that choice?

Breath deeply into the choices you have and see if anyone feels more peaceful than the rest.

See if you can just step back now from the decision and come back to it later. Not to be procrastinating, but to let yourself see things as they unfold after you spend some time with it. Let yourself off of the hook a little bit too. If this seems like a challenging decision do get some perspective. Ask a for help, find a counselor, minister, or someone you can trust to help you get some perspective. There is no harm in asking for help from your guides and the universe either.

Have a fabulous week!

When people come for a session with me they get an energy bath.  I clean off patterns that are not supportive, foreign energy, other people in your space. Etc. This give people the sense of lightness, ease, and peace that helps them stand in their own power.

But it is even more important for everyone to learn good energetic hygiene for themselves. It is like taking a shower or brushing your teeth. You wouldn’t go years without doing that! Yet many of us neglect our energy fields and don’t acknowledge the power it has over how we feel and what we can accomplish.

The problem is none of us were trained to wash our energy. So you might need a little guidance, just to get your conscious mind around what it means to “clean” your energy field. There are books out there that you can get about these topics. There are classes you can take online and in person. The resources are out there and I highly encourage you to use them.

Insightful Inspiration for the week

Establish a daily energetic cleansing technique for yourself and commit to doing it for at least a week. Notice what shifts as you do this. Here are some ideas on what you could do (it doesn’t have to take long). I always encourage you to explore what works for you and come up with your own technique.

Phase one: Grounding

• Visualize a grounding cord from your tail bone, dropping down to the center of the earth and connecting. Then open up as wide as your hips, making it hollow for full release.
• Go outside and site in the grass with your socks off.
• Visualize growing roots out of your butt and your feet, into the earth, feel the roots bringing nourishment back into your body from the earth.

Phase two: Cleansing

• Visualize a silver shower, rinsing away any energy that is not supporting you.
• Sit in the sun and take in the warmth allowing it to release any energy that is not supporting you.
• Rub your hands together and then pull them apart just an inch. Feel the energy surging between them, then use your hands to wipe off any energetic debris.

Phase three: Filling in

• Imagine a huge, golden sun above your head, calling all your energy from all directions in time back into it and then draining the golden energy into the top of your head, into your entire body and space around you.
• Feel the spark of divine light in your belly button and allow it to expand and fill in your body and space around you.
• Notice a source of light above your head, allow that light to shine into your body and the space around you.

Phase four: Shielding

• Imagine a rose in front of you, representing your energy, just outside your space. Ground it to the center of the earth and let it collect up all the energy of the world and process it for you.
• Surround yourself with white light.
• Use hematite jewelry or some other material that represents protection for you and allow it to shield your energy throughout the day.

Share you techniques with us on Facebook. If you have had an energy bath with me, share with us how that helped you in your daily life and give your insights on how your attention to this fact can help you going forward.

I posted last week about Chakra 2 – apparently the universe didn’t like it, because it is lost. 

So, let me try again …. As I said before, this won’t be a lesson in the chakras, but just some inspiration for you to notice them and how you might try to do that. The sacral chakra is associated with emotions and sexual energy. It also is where your appetite for things comes from. When it is balanced, you have balanced appetites for everything including food, sex, and experiences. From my observations, people tend to under use this space in bursts rather than balance. They surpress emotions until they explode. They don’t manage their sexual needs to it comes out in secrets or obsessions.

There is a lot of information to be found in the second chakra. Sharing that information can be amazing and healing. Sharing can be done in many ways… so this is not a definative list, just some examples. Some examples include talking with your friend about how you felt when she said something that hurt your feelings.  Flirting. Feeling empathy for a family you just met after hearing their struggle.  In my experience, these are balanced sharing of information from the second.

Out of balance might looks like and raging rant over something to your significant other that you have been feeling for a long time, but just now expressed. Sexual addiction. Manipulation of someone elses emotions by bending the truth or exaggerating something you told them to be true.

Have you recognized when you second is out of balance yet? Now think of what stories you tell yourself about this place in your body. Is sex naughty? Is being angry make you a bad person? If you break down and cry, does that mean you are weak? These lies we learn thoughout life, from either experiences or childhood programming, keeps us from fully accessing this information.  Spend a moment writting down the things you think about emotions and sex. Do these thoughts help you? Where do you find value in keeping those thoughts going? What if you let those thoughts go? Where do you lack joy and enthusasim in your life? Are you feeling creatively blocked? What is keeping you from experiencing those things?

Bring your attention to your second chakra area (in the sacrum) and notice how that energy feels. Play with it and see if you can allow your self freer access to this information. Can you share this information with others and feel safe? Bring your second chakra in alignment with the work you already did on your first chakra and see if you can use that to give you the security you need to explore this next center.

Have a joyful and creative week!
