Reconnecting to Everyday Joy and Miracles this week

Back in 2005, I started Fairy Online School. I was burnt out and tired in my intuitive biz from all the sadness I encountered, and I was going through lots of psychic, expansion changes. I needed support for my sensitivity and quite simply, a little joy to raise my spirits back up. In came that delicious fairy energy, and with it, my love for Nature, and the discovery of my first flower essence I created to heal.

What exactly is fairy energy? I believe we all have it deep down inside. It’s that joyful, playful part we had as children. It’s interested in discovery and gets excited over finding an inch worm on a leaf. It’s grounded in Nature and in our environment and our senses. It’s also that little bit of silly that has you laughing at inappropriate times when you need the humor the most.

This time of year, I always think of my mom, who crossed over in 1995, but is still a pretty active, visiting spirit.  When I was growing up, my mom shared with me the little delights in the world–collecting tiny toys for the holidays; having a hidden stash of candy to dip into; noticing the picture in the clouds; following  that cute, little inch worm on the leaf; and enjoying a good story. It’s the little things we can focus on to bring back the joy into our lives to keep us afloat when everything else in our world is crazy, and boy, life sure has been crazy!

I told my good friend the other day, if this is really end times, I want to go out drawing, snuggling my dogs, eating pizza and cupcakes every day! That’s the fairy way.

Fairy Online School is the marriage between that re-connection we have with the spiritual world that is filled with miracles, awe, and support, and the creating and enjoying with fairy energy as we learn!

I invite you to join us with the many from all over the world reconnecting to miracles, to those we think we lost, to new friends of support this Friday when Fairy Online School starts its new session. Develop your natural, intuitive abilities while having fun, and most importantly, reconnect to you! Head on over to this page to reserve your space in the classes of your choice that start Friday. (Go sign up for my newsletter, Fairy Blessings, and you receive a special fairy discount on classes).

Spirit and Angel Hugs

Yesterday I was feeling sad and reflecting on a problem I had, and I felt a presence to the right of me say, “It will be okay. It will work out.” I then felt a spirit hug: yummy chills up and down my body. I love that!

Because I like to teach and share my experiences, I did what every detective and scientist would do. I analyzed what happened.

Was the voice inside my head like my own thought or outside my head? No, I’m not schizophrenic and hear voices, so it did come into my head like when I experience telepathy with the animals. It was more a foreign thought then my own. I was feeling sad and working on my site before this visit message, and that is where my focus was. I wasn’t thinking positively.

I experimented later on–forcing a thought to come through. It was like mind constipation. It sure didn’t flow. I also noticed that my head went quiet and I felt alone in the room vs. when I heard the message.

In my classes, I often have students practice the “rubber ball” technique. Students are divided into teams of two and practice sending with their minds different images of different colors, like a rubber ball. Students do a terrible job when they are trying so hard. No one receives any correct images. And forcing to send an image so forcefully creates so much psychic static no one can hear.

Spirit or Angel? I’d have to say Spirit. Spirit guides and friends are those who have passed and we have loved. Angel messages, for me, feel more behind me, feel large and encompassing. Spirits feel like they are in the room with me and communicate through telepathy or thoughts. I can feel if they are feminine or masculine. If I had tuned in more and asked, the spirit may have told me who they were, but it was a quick visit.

Your Spirit Guides can serve as guardian angels. I know mine do.

Have you had a spirit or angel hug during a visit?

When bad stuff happens in the world, do you feel it?

As an empath, you may have felt, before anything bad happened, a sense of dis-ease. Before the big earthquake in Japan, I felt down and a sense of hopelessness I couldn’t place. I told my one friend a week ago, “Something big is about to happen, earth-wise. I don’t know what yet.” I’m an earth sign, and work closely with the earth, so I guess I picked up the feelings of the ground like I do people or animals.

How do you protect yourself from the pain? Send lots of love, prayers, and healing to Japan, but stay away from the news. If you are visual, don’t even think about looking at photos of devastation. As an empath, you can read into a photo and FEEL, and you don’t need to feel that much pain. It helps no one.

And no, I don’t believe Mother Earth is angry. I believe the earth is changing and shifting fast and furious like us. It’s a giant mirror for each other, so to speak. Sometimes change can look ugly like a homely adolescent that becomes a great beauty. Nurture yourself now with lots of self care and don’t feel the weight of the world.

Ironically, as I write this, I hear Josh Groban’s song, “Don’t Give up.” “Don’t give up. It’s just the weight of the world. When your heart’s heavy, I will it for you. Don’t give up. Because you are loved.”

A little nod from the Angels.

Book review of 8 Keys: A Special Delivery Message from the Angels

Recently, I was gifted with a free copy of the 8 Keys: A Special Delivery Message from the Angels by Linda West with Karen Miller Gibbs to review.

As many of you know, although I am mostly fairy, I have a special connection to the Angels. For some reason, I attract many, many clients and students who are angel readers or are angels incarnated, so I was anxious to read this book and share it as a resource. And when I flipped through the book, there were strong synchonicities I couldn’t miss, such as her adopted daughter’s name is Jessica (but her story turned out, much much better), so I knew I was meant to read it.

What are the 8 keys given by the Angels that can “change your life, resolve life-long conflicts, remove negativity and attract positive energy?”

The keys are simple enough on the surface that include Love, Forgiveness, Trust and Humility. I often hate spiritual books that state formulas that mention the obvious, but this book is different. Linda’s story is told throughout in raw vulnerability that has you feeling you know and relate to her as a person, which pulls you deeper into the book. She shares intimately in a very down-to-earth, “everywoman” style how these simple keys applied in her own life and changed her perspective to a higher one, and therefore, how we can do the same. As readers, we want to see and know examples, and how they can relate to us.

And do note, there are angel experiences and stories and Linda does address how her Angels communicate to her–more subtle signs than burning bushes–which will allow you to recognize how your own Angels communicate. This book does not offer a how-to communicate with your Angels, but offers more of a way to live your life.

author Linda West

The true treasure I found were several lines that came through that were quickly dog-eared for myself, loved ones and clients. These were messages from the Angels directly hidden among the pages:

  • About struggle: “…because it is your ego that keeps you pounding your head against the brick wall. And after a while that pounding just gives you a headache. You know, it’s not the brick wall giving you the headache. It’s your relentless need to pound against it. Give it up. Let it go.”
  • “I thought I had to settle, give up something I loved in order to have something I needed. We do not need to settle, ever. When we honor ourselves and our needs, the whole universe supports what we do. It is up to us to realize what we deserve and want.”
  • This quote was one to really ponder, “It’s supposed to be simple and it’s supposed to be easy.” Hmmm.

I don’t know exactly how I will apply the 8 Keys on my journey now. I do know what you are meant to receive from reading this book, you will walk away with having. Many of the keys were good reminders for me to stay on the higher path, and in a pinch, I will grab for one of the affirmations strewn throughout the book.

The only negative reaction I had was more of a style preference. As many of you know, I am one that writes quickly and simply with not a great deal of words, and my Guides appear to be the same. There was a great deal repeated, and my short attention span felt there was too much to read which could have been pared down considerably. Again, that is my preference.

And, I am still pondering the similarity with the daughter thing…I will have to check in with my Angels about that.

Facts about Ghosts

Many folks come to my blog with questions about spirits and ghosts. This is an area that is of great interest for me, so I love to pass along what I have experienced or know. Other experts, this may not be your knowing. I can only go by mine. So, here’s what I have learned about ghosts/spirits:

  1. Demons often are yukky people. Every time I watch Paranormal State and they bring Lorraine Warren on, I cringe. She seems like a lovely lady, but not every spirit is a demon. My own interpretation is there are yukky people and there are nice people. Just because you are dead, doesn’t mean you have found enlightenment. You may still be a yukky person. “Demons” many times are these such people who are acting out how they would have acted out in life–they are rude, nasty, trouble-some. Many times the folks who are experiencing bad hauntings were dabbling with a ouija board and called the folks in for visit without realizing that lower vibrations dig that kind of thing. The “demons” can also be thoughtforms that took life. We are that powerful in our creations. And, those that have some forms of mental illness or serious addictions do tend to attract earthbound spirit attachments.
  2. Lower vibrations–when I say lower vibration I mean that not in an arrogant-I’m better than you–definition. We all came to earth school to learn. Some of us are here for the first time and are entering first grade. They may be considered at a lower vibration.  Others, have been here many times and are ready for graduate school. Some of us, not me, have been here enough that they finally “get” it, and don’t need earth school, but came here just to help the rest of us to “get” it.
  3. Ghosts can touch you. This takes a great deal of energy and I have witnessed them moving objects many times. But hurting you? That’s not been my experience, so I can’t really comment on that. I have experienced spirit hugs, and having my hair touched. But you do have boundaries with them as you do anyone. No one is allowed to do that without your permission whether living or not. Just yell no! and state your boundaries. If they don’t listen, get really pissy and call on your Angels to escort the bugger away from you.
  4. Ghosts vs. Spirits. I consider ghosts earth-bound spirits or those who haven’t crossed over yet for whatever reason. They are either lost and confused, or not wanting to let go. Spirits are those who have crossed over but are visiting and helping you. They fall more into the Spirit Guide category.
  5. They “haunt” all the time. I always laugh when I watch the ghost-hunting shows because they find it necessary to close the lights off in the middle of the night. I went to a seance locally not too long ago where they felt the need to do the same thing. I did see some movement, but I experienced more of the fear of the dark than anything. I feel ghosts or spirits around all the time, everywhere. Maybe they come out at night because its quieter and you are sleeping and there is less noise. Our world is so busy all the time, a spirit would have to compete with a great deal to get your attention.
  6. You have to be special and a Medium to talk to spirits and ghosts fallacy. If I was a bad healer and I wanted to sell my readings, I’d say, Yes, of course! Only I can do this and I am special. Now fork over tons of money. I do readings for others so you can get a second opinion/validation, or as an alternative until you learn or access your own abilities. We ALL can do this. You may have probably done this when you were very young. Like playing the piano, some of us are better at it than others, but we just came in more “wired.” When you are having experiences you are tuning into your ability. And those who have no ability at all? They are the folks that are shut down and are probably shut down in many areas. In one of my favorite movies, Field of Dreams, the family can see the spirit baseball players having a game in the backyard. The “shut-down” brother-in-law intent on taking away the land and the house to bank foreclosure sees nothing until a crisis occurs. Isn’t that how many of us re-find our abilities?

Mental Illness vs. psychic ability

Do you know the difference?

I felt this piece of info was important to share when it comes to psychic ability.

After parenting an adopted child for five years who had tons of both, I slowly learned what was the difference, and that mental illness did not look how I thought it would. I always thought illness would be very obvious–a bit like what we see on television–the bag lady or the man in the white strait jacket. What we thought was charming quirkiness in “Jennifer” early on, was clear-cut signs of mental illness that everyone poo-poo’ed away (many for their own agendas). Once adolescence kicked in, we had full-blown “lots of things”. And honey, that was not ADHD.

There is hearing voices of Guides/Angels or spirits in the room, and then there is hearing voices of your other personalities, split off parts, or out-and-out schizophrenia. A good indicator these are not Guides? The voices aren’t helpful. These voices may even try to get a rise out of you to get you upset (this could even be earthbound spirits. They like to do that).  Guides/Angels are always loving and when you hear their guidance you feel a sense of rightness and an inner knowing. They are much like a good psychic reading. You don’t have a reading and hear “you are going to die!”  The psychic will tell you that you need to be more careful when you drive. Guides/Angels will never say nasty things about other people or tell you to hurt them in any way. Their drive is to help you have understanding and compassion for others. (The exception is a departed relative visiting who might give advice. Usually, you can identify the voice and how they always acted when they were alive.)

“Jennifer” would talk to voices in her room often and claim they were Guides, but I saw and felt nothing, except, I would have the beginning of a migraine when I entered. (Keep in mind though, earthbounds are attracted to high energy emotional states. I think she did have a few entities attached on top of everything else. Henceforth, my headaches).

Folks with personality disorders are really hard to peg as mentally ill. That’s the tough part. Borderlines (called RAD when they are young) will take your life onto a rollercoaster with one moment idolizing you when you do what they want, and the next despising you for not complying. They are also masters of triangulation pitting one person against another just for the drama of it, because chaos feels safe. On the surface, they are as charming as can be, and always who they think you want them to be. But without treatment or help, their lives are a continuous, bad amusement park ride and you don’t need to join them, or risk developing your own mental illnesses.

When I first came to the Sedona area, one of the first things I did was readings at a healing fair. My first customer was a schizophrenic who wanted to know about the implants attached to his head controlled by the government. I did give him the benefit of the doubt after watching years of X-files, but his wife later confirmed he had mental illness. There was also a girl who claimed she was a reincarnated Jesus (lots of those). What scares me is many folks like this need medication or psychological help and not a psychic reading. Sedona is notorious for attracting all kinds of people who want healing. I got an instant education what to look out for.

If you do hear voices that are not helpful, find your moods seriously erratic, go get some help.* Get educated. Our bodies and minds are so complicated. Sometimes it’s just a hormone imbalance! We all have the ability to go a little off kilter in the most stressful times. (I’ve got a bit of OCD inherited from my grandmother. Thanks Nanny!)

And if you have more of a psychic intruder bothering you? Being a sensitive/psychic you could open some doors you don’t need to open to outside unhelpful energies attracted to your bright light. Learn clearing exercises and find someone who specializes in escorting them out.  I always call in Archangel Michael for the small jobs.

*Thanks to Anna who commented so I can clarify. Hearing negative voices telling you to hurt people or yourself  (not a good thing), WITH other signs, such as, very disordered, illogical  or paranoid thinking, delusions, dissociation, cutting, emotional instability, etc. can definitely be a sign of mental illness. Many of us who are mediums, can pick up entities that are negative and can affect us. See earthbound spirits above.

Seeing things–angels in disguise

I see people’s Guides and spirit friends. Not like what you think. Definitely not like the Ghost Whisperer. I see little spirit lights. The lights blink in and out like big fireflies and are usually yellow. Sometimes there are other colors. These are Master Guides and Angels. My students are often surprised when they tell me their secret of seeing lights and I explain what these are.

But talking about seeing some serious weird stuff…I had just done my first session of EMDR, a fabulous technique that uses tones and vibrations to rid yourself of early trauma. The session was amazing (I’ll write a bit about later). Driving back from Cottonwood to home, I was pretty open psychically. Maybe even a bit spacey. I looked back in my rear view window and saw briefly what looked like my own face staring back at me, and a thought came through–it’s like I am turning into a new me. Well, here’s the even weirder part. A SUV passed to the left of me and grabbed my attention. The license plate said, “RONNI 2”! The weirder part is the spelling. I know very little Ronni’s that spell their name that way. And it was another Ronni! Coincidence? Angels working? Vision? My mind translating what it would see in the next moment? You decide.

Radio!

I was just interviewed by Mrs. Claus on the Family Yak channel– an inspirational and spiritual (but not religious) podcast online radio show in Australia. It was wonderful. Will find out soon the url to send everyone too.  I was able to talk about everything I teach–animal communication, working with the Fairies, my Fairy School, helping the Sensitives. So exciting! The funny thing was my ear was ringing most of the time. Lots of helpers assisting me with the interview, I’d say. 🙂

Psychic shorthand

When we talk to our Spirit helpers, we we often receive repeat images or symbols. For the longest time I would see a hopscotch board. After many misinterpretations, I finally did the smart thing and asked, “What the heck does that symbol mean?” I heard it meant “childhood games.” And that’s childhood stuff we learned that may not be very helpful, like, give to everyone yet it is selfish to give to yourself. It’s the childhood poop that gets in the way of us moving forward and being happy. So, now, if I ask for guidance and I’m having a problem, and I receive the image of a hopscotch board, I know that means I am dealing with old stuff.

Another funny symbol and image I receive (my Guides have a great sense of humor), are mushrooms. Mushrooms represent altered states. Cute, huh?

Sending a quick image to us is a great way for our Guides and Angels to get a message to us in a quick, easy way without having to say a lot. Cool.
