Sketchbook Saturday

designingfairy1 Comment

Spiritual lessons with fun art. Pages from my art journal shared on Saturdays.

And now for something completely different…

Because my “thing” is art coupled with mini lessons, I’ve started Sketchbook Saturday. The best way to hear your animals with animal communication? Through your love connection and LISTENING. Quiet your mind to hear their voices.

Sarah teaches me patience every day. She reminds me to SLOOOOW DOWN or I will be just bumping around into walls.

My parakeets teach me to always have fun, and to ask for what I need even if it’s with a loud ACK! ACK! ACK!

Speedy helps me practice spotting and feeling energy. We often play hide and seek.

What do your animals teach you?

designingfairy2 Comments

It’s Friday! And that means Fairy Online School excerpts. Today’s excerpt is from the Healing With Roses mini class that is available for sign-ups all throughout the month of July. You can sign up here. Your totally FREE tip:

Roses you are attracted to are meant just for you

“I wanted to know if experimenting with making my own essences from roses I picked would be just as powerful. I found out that these essences were just as effective and even more tailored for me and my family. I was told that the roses I was attracted to and that came into my life were the right energies for me. So, the roses you are attracted to, are perfect for you!”

What I am learning…

If you are not succeeding or reaching your goals, it doesn’t mean you’re a failure, or did something wrong, or are “not enough,”  it just means it’s time to reach out for additional help and support to climb that mountain.

Have you been slimed?

designingfairy5 Comments

Slime attacks. As a sensitive person, I can be negatively influenced from the television I watch, the stuff I read, my encounters with other people, and even telepathically from people far away. Often, I pick up negative poo coming at me by noticing my mood. For three days I felt foreign energy invading my space and watched my mood gradually decline. Before that I felt hopeful, positive, proud, and on path. What happened is I was warned before I got big-time slimed.

When I think of Slime Attacks, I think of the scene in Ghostbusters when the cute green ghost slimes Bill Murray with green ectoplasm. In a way, psychically it’s the same.

Symptoms of a Slime Attack:

1. You feel a huge drop in mood like I did.

2. You don’t feel creative; This one is super tough. Slime energy is constipating: expression feels unsafe so it goes underground. If you are like me, this is super dangerous. When you are super creative you NEED to create, express, get it out of you. It’s like breathing. What isn’t allowed to come out will find a way through headaches, illness and anger fits, and depression. Where you feel proud, excited, good about yourself, all of that will be squeezed out of your body with the presence of slime.

3. You feel shame. Oh, this is an awful, awful feeling. You feel down about you in some way. Slime attacks target you with shame and go for your sore spots. Yuck! You begin to feel something is very wrong with you and you are BAD or wrong in some way. Unless you just killed a room filled with people, or abused an animal should you ever feel this way or have it thrown at you. Most folks are doing the best they can, and don’t intentionally try to hurt or take anything away from others unless they are sociopathic and are mean-spirited.

4. You either feel too hungry and want to eat everything in sight, or don’t want to eat at all. That’s a response to the slime energy, and your system is trying to do something with it because it can’t assimilate it. (Exception is eating Walmart’s cherry pie which has some addictive ingredient in it. 🙂 )

5. You feel fear. This is the biggest symptom of slime attacks whether talking to a negative person, or having someone throw their stuff on you, or even watching a news program. You feel the opposite of supported and loved and hopeful for the future. In fact, you go into the mode of “I have to do it all on my own” survival mode that fear likes to put you in.

Okay, you identified that you have been slimed, what do you do?

Super good question. First, de-slime. Sit in meditation and do some kind of de-cord exercise from the source of the slime (I just wrote such a meditation in my Empath Skills class). You have to pull that gook off of you.

Two, realize that it’s seriously not cool for anyone to be mean or harsh and throw stuff on you. That’s not yours to carry.

Three, return back to you and reclaim your positive space. When we are slimed, however it comes, you’ve been intruded upon in your space. I like making a list to prepare myself for anytime I am going to get thrown off like this, which will help me bring me back to a positive, centered place. My list usually includes talking to one of my close friends, spending time with my girl dog-ters, or even be in Nature.

You do need some time to come back after a sliming. Emotionally, as a sensitive, it hurts. I have a vivid memory of high school drama club rehearsels. Carol N., another lead in a play, came over and viciously slimed me out of nowhere with comments like “You think you are all that…” etc. It was a bizarre moment because I never said much to her before this. I even worked pretty hard at not having any kind of an attitude. I was devastated, and clutched at my best friend at the time, and started to burst into tears, which was odd for me, because I never cried. She was clearly dumping her stuff on me, discharging her anger and upset and whatever else so she’d feel better. I don’t know if she did, but I stood in amazement that anyone could just be so out and out mean to someone. The tears were for the hurt but also from my confusion. I wasn’t used to it. If she had a problem with me, I much rather she had sat me down and talked to me about her feelings. I would have honestly listened and tried to understand.

Happy de-sliming, my friends. I am off to spend time with my dog-ters, be in Nature, and talk to close friends. 🙂

My First Flower Essence

designingfairy

It’s Friday which means Fairy Online School Friday and that means excerpts. This is the intro to my Flower Essence or FEC100 class that starts today (sign ups until midnight)

My First Flower Essence.

I met my first flower essence years back at the same time I met my former Reiki teacher. She was a nurse who migrated into the world of Reiki Healing. After giving me a treatment on the table, she whipped out her trusty pendulum and positioned it over a bunch of bottles before her on a little table.

 “You need this one,” she said, and thrust the little bottle into my hands.

“Oh no,” I protested. “I am allergic and sensitive to everything.”

“You’ll like this,” she insisted.

I stared at it.

“What do I do with it?” I was mildly curious.

“Just place a few drops from the bottle under your tongue, twice a day. You’ll see. It will really help.”

 I brought the little bottle home with me to bond. The label said BUTTERCUP, and it was indicated for healthy self-worth. As a child, I loved picking buttercup flowers and placing them under my chin to see my chin turn yellow. It was a magic flower.

 I stared at that bottle for at least two weeks. I don’t know what I expected. I’ve experienced in different healing modalities that have been too strong for me, I paid with too strong emotional or physical reactions later.

 After those two weeks, I couldn’t take it anymore. I took a few drops and waited for either my transmutation into a werewolf or some other creature, or for nothing to happen. The effects were subtle at first. I felt a boost of warmth and then happy thoughts came through my mind of feeling loved and good. “Not bad,” I thought. This isn’t terrible. I can survive this.”

 Day two brought up some uncomfortable feelings of what issue or beliefs were blocking my self-worth at that time. It wasn’t overwhelming insight, just mind-opening and shift-making, and I could feel the buttercup supporting me as I went through this process.

 By day five, I had made a definite shift in my perception of myself, and those awful beliefs were dropping away.

 I was hooked.

Ghost vs. Spirits and Enabling the Stuck

designingfairy5 Comments

I love watching Ghost Hunter shows. It’s a little fascination of mine, and, I even was able to go on a ghost-hunting exposition, and was even lucky enough to be a part of filming a ghost-hunting show recently. But my perception or opinion has changed possibly from those experiences, and definitely  from watching a low-grade Ghost Hunting show.

My local town, Camp Verde, (very, very rural), has a scaled down version of Walmart called Alco. It’s there I saw a copy of a Ghosthunting collection of shows I had to have.

I couldn’t wait to rip off the plastic from the DVD and dive in. I was disappointed. Sure, there was good footage of ghostly experiences, but it was also very dark in nature that upset me. But what really got me going was one featured show about a haunted abandoned hotel. A ghost hunting crew was led around and introduced by a local woman who conducts tours. She retold a story how the ghosts there flew her across the room one time. She talked about the ghosts as her friends and was their official voice as a medium. She knew their habits and preferences. Almost had an intimate knowledge of each one.

Does this feel right to you?

If I was a soul stuck back in tragedy and another time, wandering around lonely and upset, would I want to be stuck like that? Or, worse, be someone’s entertainment? In many of these shows, they capture spirit voices trying to communicate on tape and then they get all excited over evidence and leave the poor soul stuck there! They’ve opened the door to communication and just left. I can’t imagine having an animal client who trusts me enough to talk to me and tell me how he/she is feeling, and then I just walk away! Talk about abandonment issues.

Earthbounds or ghosts are those who haven’t crossed into the light yet. They’ve pretty much wandered, hung out, not budged. Some are stuck by other ghosts. Some, by guilt. Others, by confusion and trauma. Spirits, like my departed mom or your relatives, have made it to the light/heaven and communicate from that plane or space.  There’s a distinct difference. When we go on ghost-hunting trips, we are usually communicating with ghosts who didn’t cross over.

In my one disastrous ghost-hunting visit with a local ghost group, we communicated with a ghost who was a resident of a hotel. It saddened me that she didn’t move on, partly because she was lonely, but mostly because she liked all the attention from those who stayed at the hotel and even from the ghost-hunting crew. This gave me a new perspective. It was the like the hotel workers were enabling her “stuck-ness,” much like the woman in the ghost hunting video did.

What I thought was funny at the time, was the group asked really strange questions that related way, way back when she first died from an illness. Even though the female ghost was out of body for so long that was no longer relevant to her.

A lot of ghosts that are supposed to haunt places–I think of nearby Jerome–are not even there anymore! They moved on. Maybe even reincarnated. But I guess you can’t sell hotel rooms without ghostly legends, eh?

And why do we need so much “evidence” that ghosts exist? To the sensitive, it’s a no-brainer. We don’t need proof like that. We see, feel and hear it.

I guess we need to approach the whole ghost thing as you would the living. If I were to be totally stuck, still wearing clothes from ten years ago, haven’t progressed at all in my spiritual evolution, I sure would want my friends to get me some help so I could move on in my life. Why not these ghosts? It sure isn’t healthy to be stuck in your old hotel room for hundreds of years reliving your horrible death from illness and starvation. Talk about PTSD!

Next time you encounter a ghost or earthbound, ask him or her, What do you need to move on? And just like with people in body, know when to give up if they aren’t ready to do so. We all know someone who is literally stuck in their own mind merry-go-round.
