Knowing Your Limits-it’s enough

Why are all our big lessons so hard to learn?

Last night on date night, I got sick on dinner and almost had a full-blown panic attack in my favorite hang-out, Barnes and Noble. A little FYI, Pampass Grass (for recentering) and Rose 81 (for calming down after emotional breakthrough) brought me out of the attack pretty quickly.

It occurred to me in that moment, that perhaps, just maybe, I could be asking too much of myself right now. I’ve been up nightly with Foxy, our red dog, since December, who is progressing nicely now, but had been seriously ill. Before that, we had a crisis with our special needs daughter that left us beat-up and spent for months. Do I grant myself a rest? No. I plunge forward! I’m a soldier. Strong and independent.I can prove it! I can take on and handle whatever God or the world throws at me.

When our bills got out of hand to pay for Foxy’s care, we posted on our blogs, and pleaded, tried to raise money and worked harder still. More exhaustion. Because, certainly, we should be able to have tons of money for care, right? But Foxy was getting better on her own accord. She was healing herself. We were assisting with some meds and fluids. Friends came out of the woodwork to help with more natural methods. It wasn’t all my responsibility to heal her. But still, I put the pressure on myself. I was a bad parent for not having everything we needed, and this was echoed in the shaming vet we dealt with.

We watched as money dwindled, and because of the economy, relatives held tighter to their wallets out of fear, and in the process, pulled away emotional support too. They were nowhere to be seen! (After all, she’s an old dog anyway. Ouch. And I mean, big ouch). We felt seriously abandoned and more tired!

My reaction through all of this was to push harder, work harder, and yell at myself for not trying enough! Nice, huh?

But today, after flipping out in Barnes and Noble, and becoming good pals with the toilet (awful visual), I realized that when I blame the world around me for not being supportive and asking for too much, maybe I am doing this to myself. The world will always do this in one way or another. The folks who were withdrawing their money were not emotionally supportive either. And, those who were supportive, would be so even if I didn’t do a thing–didn’t try at all. An amazing concept. This trauma just brought this knowing to light.

Could I recognize that what I do is enough? That it would have to be in this moment? Could I support myself and ask less? Could I recognize how much I already was doing? Pat myself on the back for a bit. Could I change this pattern and not find myself wanting to puke and panic in my place of worship?

We do what we can.

Psychic vs. scientist

scientistI am slowly learning:

  • I question myself when around someone who is more of a “scientist” and is unbelieving. One of Foxy’s vets looks at me like I am crazy when I tell her what Foxy is feeling or what I “get”. She took xrays of Foxy’s back and showed places where she had problems. She said, “She may or may not have any pain.” I said, “Yes, she has pain. I told you that. Several times. In those exact places.” She just ignored me. The woman only looks at the numbers and doesn’t seem to have the intuition or feeling to see what is happening. Being an empathic/intuitive person, I can’t even understand this. I was furious she would question my abilities or expertise of ten years when I don’t hers. It’s out and out disrespectful! And worse, around that energy,  I begin to question myself.
  • Perhaps, she is mirroring my own doubts. My Guides had given me advice about Foxy’s health I questioned because I didn’t see results in front of me. I had to act on blind faith and I haven’t been able to do that. Perhaps I too, am the scientist.
  • Trusting even though situations may look bad or hopeless: I remember when we were selling our house a few years back when the market just started to go downhill. At the time, I was getting advice from our departed dog of all things. Talk about faith. But, I wholeheartedly trusted  Lucy and I felt her spirit, and heard her. Lucy said we’d find that buyer and said when- March. There was a bit of a snag. A realtor came in March bringing an interested client and the client fell through–couldn’t get financing! We were then approached by a shady couple to buy our house cheaply. Was this the buyer? This couple felt so horrible, I had a migraine after talking to them. We decided to go with faith, said no, and decided to wait it out. Glad we did. Only two days later, that nice realtor came by again with our buyer. That buyer who picked out our house from a huge list of houses unseen and said, “That one.” What if I hadn’t trusted? I’d have missed the miracle.
  • We do need that balance: science balanced with intuition. If I treated Foxy for her kidneys with just faith, I don’t know if I’d see results. We still need the medications for support and the fluids. There is a role for each. I know if I had bacterial pneumonia I sure as hell would want some antibiotics and not just hands-on-healing to wipe it out.  I’d need both. Getting information that is happening is needed from the animals and Guides and then the vet/doctor can come in and do support. We can use natural support–plants, etc., but we still need that. I guess, it’s all balance.
  • We are not just test results. You need the full story on all levels what is occuring to a person or animal. Too unbalanced a view doesn’t give the whole picture.

Headaches and Psychics

Yesterday I had the worst headache. I was able to get rid of it by taking a nap and a dose of Tylenol, but I had a doozy of a time figuring it out what caused it until I had some time to do some healing on my head. Here’s reasons why if you are psychic or sensitive, you may have a headache:

  • 1. You’re tired. This was the simplest reason for me. I needed to rest.
  • 2. Hormones shifting. That’s for you ladies out there. And even vibrations are shifting (a whole other topic).
  • 3. My head will ache in my psychic spot if there’s negativity around me in some form.
  • 4. Sometimes your head aches when there’s a spirit around of a lower or different vibration. I’ve been to “haunted” places and boy, it felt like my head would come off in some.
  • 5. Stuck emotions–your own. I was upset yesterday and tried to hold it all in. Boy, can you get a doozy of a headache holding back the stream.
  • 6. Stuck emotions–others. If you are empathic, you can take on others’ stuck emotions–the ones they aren’t expressing–and carry it. Ouch. Important to differentiate if it is yours or not. Ask that whatever isn’t yours leaves, and if you feel better, you have evidence.
  • 7. For you hypochondriacs–brain tumor. Just don’t go there.  If it’s really bad headache, we’re talking huge, then go there.
  • 8. Too much energy in the head–this happens to me often. Best way to take care of this? Ground it out somehow. Go do yoga, hold your feet, walk, take a flower essence, and get out of your head. Doing more head work, or worrying more, makes it worse.
  • 9. And last but not least, what did you eat? I had sugar on low blood sugar. Whoops. Ouch. But it tasted really good.

So there you have it. The good thing about being a blogger and a teacher, is that even having a headache is good source material.

Realistic expectations & helping

Sorry I haven’t blogged lately. I’ve been a bit swamped lately with responsibilities. My husband and I are grappling with troubles with our newly-teen daughter who isn’t adjusting well to high school. I am also taking a DVD-editing and creating class, teaching at the college (animal communication!), and doing lots of readings. I feel guilty I haven’t had time to create–no drawing, painting or making new classes. Isn’t that insane?? I longingly visit my artistic friends’ blogs and drip with envy and sadness. Not a good thing.

I think many of us who are creative have some unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves. There are so many ideas, so many interests. I find myself often so in love with ideas that surround me, I want to tackle them all! The irony is I then beat myself up when I can’t do it all or bring in what I need!

I also have a hard time balancing what I give out through my helping biz with the time I create and give to myself. I think this is reflected in the lack that I see.

I’ve talked often lately of downsizing what I am doing or offering. Because I have lots of creative energy I often find I am giving out a great deal but not seeing it come back to me. This is a problem. So, this is a time in my life when it’s time to tackle that–look deep down, plug up all those energy gaps, and begin to receive. I see how the Universe is teaching me this lesson. In the past month, I have met the most amazing people who have offered to gift me or exchange their talents, so I know I am doing something right!

Lost dogs and Nancy Drew

Lorraine Chittock, the author, informed me that there are now two permanent links on her site regarding the times I assisted her in reuniting with her dog, Bruiser. They are here:

http://www.lorrainechittock.com/pdf/DogsTodayLost&Found.pdf
http://www.onamissionfromdog.com/archives/lostfound.htm

and I will have the links on my site as well.

The other day I had such clarity of what I do and enjoy after indulging in a seemingly silly purchase at the library’s book sale. I bought a set of 1950s Nancy Drew’s. A purely emotional buy, I felt myself transported back to being a kid and collecting each one in the series. These books are so funny to read today because they are a bit dated. The book describes one of Nancy’s best friend as a “tomboy” because she wears pants! Oh, good times. Anyway, I love and have always loved solving mysteries. Most of the people who come to me have one with their animals or their life to solve they need help with and are interested in learning the answers. Contacting the animal or the spirit world I am able to find those answers and often, the greater truth of the situation. I find that very cool.

The Shifts we are experiencing

Alrighty then, we’ve had several big shifts in energy for ourselves and the planet and if you are supersensitive, you’ve felt it big time. I was told by my Guides that I may experience pressure, and the cranial has felt the brunt of it. Our dogs have felt it strongly, especially Foxy, who has had to endure the thunderstorms and the shifts.

The clearing I’ve felt and has others (mostly through the throat and head areas), has also included my energy changing and expanding. “Like new clothes I need to get used to. I am switching perspective to a bigger, wider point of view and merging with it. Fitting better into the bigger energy that is me.” The deep clearing was so “I’d be open to receive deeper, more light into my cells.” Which now, makes more sense after reading the “What’s Up On Planet Earth” report.

There’s been a heightened sensitivity, and I was told to stay at the red rose vibration. I am assuming this means a more loving, higher place so I don’t get caught up in the clearings of others.

For our dog companions, they have been feeling the pressure on their back areas and if they have arthritis, they can be very achey indeed.

This too will pass, I am told. I’ve been loading up on Turpin cactus (for the pressure) and bachelor’s buttons (to stay centered).

Throat chakras and the new you

The full moon and the eclipse are pushing out the last bits of the stuff we don’t need regarding expression. Unfortunately, this has been a huge area of healing for me which would explain the big clearing necessary. I’ve had more dreams about helping people heal their throats in the past 2 weeks!

So, what happens once everything is clearer and brighter and we’ve gotten rid of ton of poo? Probably what I am beginning to experience. A bit of an identity crisis! Who am I now? If all that I was was wrapped up in all these false beliefs, now what? Perhaps now I can rethink my world and my path. Go back to the essence of what I loved to do or who I am.

  • I am going to buy some blue hair dye possibly, maybe even pink. I want some streaks in my hair.
  • I want more community support, that seems a bit lacking (except for my blog friends. I love you guys!)
  • I need much more dog kisses in my life after all, Dog is GOD spelled backwards.
  • More steady flow of abundance. I get big bursts than low calms.
  • Less work, more play. That’s a big one. I am such a workaholic.
  • A lot less effort in life. It shouldn’t be this much work to get what you need.
  • More color.
  • Less complaints.
  • And finally, no more trying so hard, no more proving myself. It’s all good now. Anyone know where to get some quality blue hair dye?

Earth energies and big shifts

I’ve been down with a head cold, that which seemed like a head cold, but corresponds with big clearings of a ton of throat- “speaking your truth”- issues. Dreams have been little stories about folks or myself dying through choking or other throat means. (Past lives stuff). Big realizations happening through all of this. What I hear from my Guides is that I am experiencing a big clearing because I am getting ready for a big change and ready to take in much more light (ah, Angel talk). Hmmmm. Anyway, let me tell you about these earth energies…

If you are half-way sensitive or very earth-connected, you’ve felt it. I envy those at this time who walk around clueless. Anyway, I have felt several weird shifts in the energies. The other day I felt fabulous (well, in spite of the cold), gitty, and excited. Foxy, our red dog, was running around the house wired. I looked at my husband, and said, There’s been a big shift in energies. My daughter ignored me. She is about 14 and everything revolves around being 14. This was right before the meteor showers. I was told that there have been several earth shifts and the big one coming around the lunar eclipse.

If your animal is acting wonky, crazy or wired, remember that our animals are super-sensitive and feel it all. Foxy had a moment yesterday where she was wired, eating paper and acting a little buzzed. I gave her Reiki to calm her (pull the energy down into the feet and into the ground) and several flower essences, including Aquamarine which is great at stabilizing the body during lots of crazy energies. She calmed down enough for me to talk with her and I kept hearing the “energies.” (Had to check to make sure not health-related). These “energies” are from all the earth stuff. Of course, the planet would be affected by solar and lunar eclipses, meteor showers and the like, even if you aren’t into this stuff and a Sensitive you’d realize that. If we take advantage of all the shifts, we have an opportunity to grow and get rid of a lot of emotional and mental baggage we’ve been carrying around forever that does not serve us. That part is cool if we can handle the discomfort. You may have noticed, also, that you are getting more sensitive and feeling more of these energies that maybe years ago you were oblivious to.

So, if you are sensitive, I’ve been advised to suggest surrounding yourself in a light ball during this time, try to ground some of the excess energy (you’ll feel wired, antsy, crazy) by taking a bath, digging in dirt, or walking. Write a lot down, there may be some great insights there. Sleep. Sleeping really seems to help. And, finally, you can share your experiences with others right here.

Until the moon wigs out…Fairy blessings, Ronni.
