Animals and the Astral Plane

designingfairy5 Comments

Before sleep, I usually tell Foxy I want to visit with her in my dreams. I notice this usually happens somewhere between 3am and 8am. The first half of the night I sleep like dreck. 🙂

The visits in my dreams have been consistent. I always go to the same place in the astral world. Foxy is there, living her life, and I can feel and see her with great clarity.

Last night, I spent the entire dream at the same college I always go to in sleep and Foxy followed me around through the whole dream. Again, the dream was quite lucid. What was amazing this time is how strongly I felt her personality and energy. I was with her. And like in this world before she left her body, she stayed by my side.

When I woke I felt glorious!

How do you know if it is a real spirit visit vs. a dream?

  • The dream is so lucid; you are aware you are some place else but dreaming.
  • Your senses are heightened. I could feel Foxy’s fur and her personality.
  • I felt wonderful when I awoke carrying with me the energy of the Other Side.
  • It is consistent: the details, the place you go for the visit.
  • And finally, because I asked for a visit before I went to sleep!

Happy dreaming…

Empathic Overload

designingfairy1 Comment

Recently I taught animal communication at a Rescue farm. Even with grounding and shielding, I still found myself overloaded from the energies of so many animals and people surrounded me halfway through the class, which surprised me. Part of the problem is I becoming more empathic. Ack, I say. Wasn’t I empathic enough? But, for you Sensitives out there, you can probably relate, that the more we are on the development path, the more sensitive we may become. Therefore, more tools are needed.

Because I am such a research girl, I scoured the web today to see what tools other teachers use for times when we are bombarded by too many energies. Here’s what I found:

Yoga Journal has a helpful article on empathic boundaries: http://www.yogajournal.com/health/2094

The Playful Psychic has a lovely online book and mentions when you are feeling scared or on the defensive you may become uncentered and ungrounded. That is most likely what happened. http://www.psipog.net/activepsy/book2.html

Lisa Campion has a great article on grounding and shielding for empaths. She says that empaths, when overloaded, leave their bodies. I can attest to that! We also have very big auras. I think, because of this big aura, I am able to merge with an animal and retrieve such deep information. It’s only a problem when so many animals are trying to talk to me at once or people intrude with their energies. http://www.nexushealing.com/empath.html

Of course, I can read and reread my own online class of tools, and work on a better filter for blocking out more controlling or intrusive energies.

Thank you ladies, for sharing your wisdom on the web.

The Universe is streamlining me

designingfairy

The past few weeks, the Universe or God (whatever your preference or beliefs), has been streamlining and cleaning up my life. It doesn’t feel good or look good, but I am sure when it is done, it will be what is the very best. Our relationship with our daughter is going through huge upheaval from her early past coming up (frustrating because we don’t have any control over her past),  and affecting the present, but we are finding through lots of needed family therapy, the family needed the re-tuning to be a more harmonic group based on the present.

We will soon be moving to a newer and nicer place that we hope will be a better version for us. After selling our house, our first rental wasn’t the best. We lucked out with this temporary gig because we could have all our dogs, etc., and the rent was cheap, but we’ve been living with one bathroom and I got clearly the lesson was to ask for and expect more.

Today, a representative from Fairy School in the UK informed me that Fairy School, those words, were copyrighted. That fairy school is a francise of kid’s parties. Sounds good actually. If I was in the Uk, I’d probably want to attend. My school consists of psychic and very woo-woo classes, probably which, the little girls might run from screaming. So, I had to retool and rename everything Fairy Online School, which, once I get past the huge irritation and all the hours redoing the website, I realized was much more of an accurate name. I do offer, afterall, online classes, and it is an ON LINE school.

I am thinking of cutting my hair, maybe streamlining that. I think I will take the initiative so the Universe doesn’t have me catching my hair in a door or something. Sorry, cancel that. But you get the drift.

Maybe I am just being forced to be more honest with my life; more authentic and truthful of what I want and need. In those areas where I am holding on to what doesn’t belong, it seems I am getting some help eliminating, whether I like it or not.

Flower essences for sensitive

Depression and the Sensitive

designingfairy

Sensitive folk are prone to depression. Many times the emotion that registers as “depression” is a conglomerate of all the negative cast-offs from everyone else! As empaths and sensitives, we can reach out too much, be too compassionate and open, and next thing you know, you are carrying around other folks’ stuff. (This can even happen from watching the news or soap operas!) You will know you are doing this when the mood hits you like a brick. One minute you are feeling fine and the next you wonder why we don’t all jump off the roof. It will be that sudden. And the depression will feel like a cloud or a veil covering you that you can’t shake off. Once you notice this, you can get under from the cloud of others’ doom. Try:

  • clearing it out! In my classes, I recommend doing some sort of exercise, taking a bath, or using certain flower essences to clear out gently.
  • go sit in Nature and ground it all out
  • smudge with a smudge stick the hell out of yourself; if it isn’t yours, you will notice a change right away.

Psychic vs. scientist

designingfairy1 Comment

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

designingfairy

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.

Grounding and Eating

designingfairy2 Comments

Last week I craved the weirdest thing–red meat. There was a consistent theme–hot dogs, a cheeseburger, bologna? Ordinarily, his would mean nothing but I don’t usually eat red meat. When I eat it, I feel like I am crashing to earth and my whole body slows down. This time though, the guidance was so clear. When Bill and I went out for dinner, I ordered meat loaf! Darn, that was good. I didn’t have that crashing feeling. My knowing now is that when your body needs the grounding, eating meat is quick. Back in! Look, I have feet. I didn’t have bad aftereffects.

Sometimes, in lots of stress (i.e., holiday season), family emotions, etc., what happens right away to the Sensitive folk, is we do get very ungrounded and off center. This was just one quick little fix for the time being.

Intuition

Empaths tend to….

designingfairy

As an empathic or sensitive person, I’ve noticed we, as a group, tend to have in common:

  1. Since we feel what everyone is feeling most of the time, when there is so much emotional turmoil around us, we may focus on trying to “make it all better” sometimes, so we feel better and the environment in harmony again! Obviously, this isn’t always reasonable or right. We need to remind ourselves that others are on their own journey and we can’t learn for them. Part of their journey may involve suffering. This can be very difficult to witness.
  2. Our bodies may be very somatic. What that means is our bodies may react to our emotions and our environment, whereas, our less sensitive friends hold it all in and ignore it. The body is a fabulous intuitive tool that we need to utilize. By tuning in to the effected areas, many times we can hear what truly bothers us.
  3. We have issues with overresponsibility. See #1.
  4. We overwhelm if we don’t clear out our environment and other people’s stuff at the end of the day. I see this as catching a bad cold. We can have feelings that aren’t even our own if we don’t do some housecleaning! This is a bit hard if you don’t catch it early. We need our own version of psychic zinc! And if you are tired or upset, BAM, instant other people’s stuff velcro.
  5. We have really big hearts that need a little more extra protection in the world. There’s a reason we do, to maybe help just one other person or animal in this world.
  6. We feel everything strongly. We live at a much deeper level. Some folks will never experience life the way we do. It’s as if we get to watch life with the subtitles!

Streamlining and the common thread

designingfairy2 Comments

Yesterday, I bought a new purse. It’s cute and little, streamlined, and well, my other one broke. I picked up my purse and the strap flipped into my face, loose. Then my sunglasses broke two minutes later. Time to streamline and regroup in life too, I thought. So, now my blog has this new funky pink yummy look. Cool. It’s also organized and straightforward. Then this morning it was off to make changes on my website–add new classes, offer readings specials, and add a new fancy contact form. All streamlining again. Time to really focus in. I like this.

I’ve been too scattered. It has seemed if one thing was slow, I’d add another venue. In panic in slow times, I’d offer more venues to compensate, and be even more inundated. More scattered. Then, worse, I’d tell myself all that I did wasn’t enough! I needed to try harder, do more! It’s hard for creative, sensitive people. We are interested in so much. We get tons of ideas. But what I finally realized, through exploring and streamlining, is I always have this one common thread in whatever I do: sharing what I’ve learned in a creative way to help/teach others. Whether I am making essences, online fairy classes, or offering a workshop or book.

What in your life needs to bear down to its basic form? What is your basic thread? Be honest. What is the common love or purpose in your career that comes up over and over? Have fun exploring. And, by the way, it’s more than enough. 🙂

Realistic expectations & helping

designingfairy

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!

Have you seen this in your life?
