Animal Communication

Back in the swing of things & shells

designingfairy

I am noticing that EVERYONE is dealing with their big patterns and issues right now. It’s a time to finally deal and clear, I suppose! It hasn’t been comfortable and it is easy to get caught up in everyone’s stuff more than usual (as I mentioned before). I am learning the fine art of detachment, which as an empath, is not always easy, but necessary.

Yesterday my smart basset girl, Emma, knocked over the Animal Cards deck and “picked out” Armadillo. Imagine my surprise when I saw that Armadillo was about boundaries. Armadillo, the cards say, teaches of creating a hard outer shell to have what you don’t want to experience bounce right off of you, and the soft inner shell was just for you! We can be open and vulnerable and all those good things yet still have that protection most of us did not have. I think we needed to be born with these outer shells!

On another note, I am enjoying very much getting back into the flow of doing readings. I am finding I am attracting all the sensitives and empaths like myself, even the animals! I just read for a sweet cat that turned out to be very empathic. Like attracts like. What I’ve learned tool-wise to help me, I am better able to turn around and help someone else. I like that.

Negativity–someone else’s poop

designingfairy3 Comments

How do you know you’ve been exposed to negativity? You feel bad. Out and out bad. It can be your own worst thoughts, messages from childhood, other people’s poop, violence on tv, or even someone else’s aggressive behavior.  When I encounter negativity, whether the words were “well-meaning” or not, my head will hurt right in my psychic spot. If I ignore that feeling, the ache will increase. If the room is filled with negativity, my stomach may even hurt. Our bodies are instant barometers of what is good for us and what is bad. I love how simple it can be. For instance, a friend gives you a criticism. If it is a truth, it will resonate. Your body may tense for a moment, but then it will relax a bit in that truth. If it was someone else’s poopy disguised as help, this is how it will feel: BAM! OUCH! YUCK! You may even feel shame, bad, and you will lose energy like you are standing in quicksand. You’ve been just been doused with negativity, regardless of how well-meaning it was, your body knew the truth. Don’t make your self wrong–that feeling you had is right. Run away! Don’t walk to the nearest exit. Create a boundary this minute. Put up that wall.

My Guides taught me that it is perfectly okay to walk away and leave a room. My husband and I were once in a room with a doctor who was supposably helping our daughter. He began to speak pure drivel at one point and was not listening to us, lost in his own world. I remembered the Guides advice and a good friend that told me I can always leave to say I’m going to the bathroom. No one disputes that. I excused myself with that excuse in hand, and never came back! I headed straight to the car (after telling my husband what I was doing). If I stayed one more minute arguing with that man, I would have suffered. He didn’t care, he was oblivious.

It helps to know that many times it IS someone else replaying their own poop, so then you can detach and walk away. To the sensitive, you’ve usually picked up a bit anyway, so walking will help you detach and see what is yours and what isn’t. With the Nature Spirits advice, I made Pumpkin essence, which is great for clearing out others’ stuff after you’ve picked it up. This has been a God-send many times over.

And one more thing, always look for intentions. WHY is someone saying something to you? Is their intention good? To really help? Or is it so they feel superior? Like the “friend” who corrects your spelling when you share your intimate piece of poetry? (Again, that’s someone else’s poop).

The importance of rest

designingfairy5 Comments

I learned a valuable lesson this weekend. As an empath, it’s quite easy for me to pick up everyone’s “stuff” and be a giant, psychic sponge. I have to be very vigilant in creating protection and clearing that stuff out. Yesterday, I was becoming increasingly cranky and punchy, and I repeatedly ignored my own body’s cry for rest. My psychic channels were clogging–my head hurt. After I finally lied down to take that rest, I woke up clear-headed, calm, and hearing my own guidance. All from resting! Was that possible? When I’m tired, my defenses are down and all the goop in the air comes flying in. Next, I’ll become un-centered. When I’m in that state, I race around trying to take care of everyone’s needs except my own. After that, I can’t hear my own guidance. I only hear my logical mind, which gives some odd advice. So, napping is good psychic self-care!

Energy today & Fairy class announcement

designingfairy2 Comments

Yesterday I bought a car, and I have to say the experience was daunting. I was so fed up with a barrage of “that’s just the way it is” crap. We had just sold our house and paid off our debt and I find I need more revolving debt to have credit. There’s was a ton of bull crap rules and nasty, pushy behavior, and I found myself yelling. I had total intolerance with all the rules in society that make no sense and don’t take into account the needs of the individual in any way. Then I received the energy alert today and once again-beyond freakiness–I am living exactly what she writes–experiencing such frustration with all the old rules and society and old systems! Everything seems like rules and games to play! I don’t have the patience.

For advice on frustration, I follow my wise dog Emma’s advice–to chew on something, preferably something edible.

On another note, I may be phasing out the Fairy School classes and putting the info all into the book. I will either self-publish it or have a publisher, OR, it will be phased into a bigger book of information. I need my energy back in this area. I will be available for teaching and private mentoring.

I woke up this morning seeing juicy colors and I heard “I want you to feel safe, comforted and supported.” Good way to start the day, eh? I was reading before bed Trusting Your Vibes by Sonia Choquette. Sonia, if you are out there, I love this book! Go out and find a copy if you can.  When I have my doubts on the spiritual/psychic path, reaching for like-minded voices is what helps me the most to get back on track. I think it is only human to have off days and on days.

Animal cards

designingfairy

I just did an animal card reading and picked two appropriate cards–Dove, which is moving between cycles and worlds and Swan (new dreams and new realms), which confirms that I am in that in-between state, where you are leaving the old, but the new hasn’t arrived yet. I bet most of us are in that boat. It is so tempting to do the old stuff, isn’t it? Harder to just have faith the new will arrive shortly.

The void

designingfairy2 Comments

I’ve decided I must be currently in the void. I’ve never experienced such a weird lack of flow before. It’s like things are in a standstill. Perhaps, I am in a different place right now and everything has to catch up. Areas which are working are blatantly obvious! I think of the one gallery show I am, that has felt bad from the first day. When I saw the show, I felt huge disappointment. Are the energies that easy to feel now? I let the show upset me, but perhaps, that was simply NOT where I belonged. Then, the old feeling of being “different” arrives, and I think, will I ever find that place where I belong? Or am I too different? Can you relate to this at all?

Potions for today: lots of roses (great for emotions) and Salvia.I picked up a great deal of Jessica’s emotional stuff last night (oops, forgot to shield). After a big surge of energy like I experienced yesterday, there’s always a bit of letdown. It’s the void moments when doubt appears. Last night Cauliflower Perelandra essence was indicated, which means I am being reborn in some way. That’s a great essence for helping your new self feel supported. Is that why there is so little movement in some areas like that gallery show?

I want to thank everyone who has visited this blog in the past week. I’ve had record amount of hits and am so excited to help others on their paths. We are trekking onto new territory. It will be a little different.

And on a positive note, GHOST HUNTERS SEASON 3 comes out October 9th! Woo hoo!

Residue and empaths

designingfairy4 Comments

I have to say, since moving this blog to wordpress, I am so enjoying my visitors! My other blog was so quiet and this is out and out lovely!

Yesterday I was in THE worse mood possible. I didn’t know what was wrong with me! I was so angry and depressed. Now being an empath, I figured I probably picked up someone else’s stuff again unwittingly (partially true). I was just plain negative. So, I sat down with my Guides for help and I heard what I was experiencing was “residue left over–hurt, pain and upset.” I felt like I was replaying my past over and over and it was hard to move forward–I didn’t know what I wanted! I think I was caught up in what I was clearing out, and since I was down, I was sponging in all the negative crap that surrounded me! So, I asked for guidance and I was directed to make an “Everything I love” book. I was to cut out all that interested me and that I truly loved right now. I was finding that I was forcing myself to do what I think I should do, rather than what I wanted to do. I cut out beautiful paintings, costumes, books, colors, the Ghosthunter series (everyone knows I love that), and patterns emerged. The path was clearer what I wanted to do pass all the gunk and the should’s . I cried and cried–ah, there’s my spirit! This was a great tool.

As an empath and a sensitive, I find I may merge too much with what is around me and I lose myself. I can feel and know what others want, and my old childhood pattern may push me to be what that is. I am always trying to be a little more “normal” and to fit in, but I suppose that is not my life path.

I put my LOVE BOOK pages on my art blog here.

Energies calming down

designingfairy1 Comment

My dreams have been so intense and clear lately. Big messages coming through. We went to the dog park last night and I don’t know if it was being stuck in the house all week and then re-emerging, but my sensitivity was up a notch! I could hear the animals clearly who came up to me, feel everyone’s state of mind, and the sounds were louder! What an odd but interesting experience! Yes, I feel like that big surge of energy is calming down, and I think what most of us did, at least subconsciously, was use it for finally breaking through some big emotional blocks inside. I know I did, although it sure wasn’t pleasant! The energies feel like they are here now, and we’ve shifted. We’re at a different place and I think it may take time to get used to. It’s a little like the start of the school year. Remember starting the next grade? How everything felt exciting and different? As long as we focus on the excitement and any whisperings from our soul what we would like to do, we’ll feel good. I find part of me freaking out–what do I do now??? We’re only human, why wouldn’t we have some fear? Of course! (I hate when writers go on and on all high and mighty about the ego and fear is bad. Hello! We are still in human bodies and we still have those darn human reactions and emotions) Let’s all be brave together and see what happens. Thanks for being company on the journey…Artwork new from my Healing Art Alphabet series available at my etsy store. Sunflower

Validation

designingfairy2 Comments

Well, I just checked out the energy alert and almost FLIPPED OUT. Being super connected to the earth energies (and only finally now how much I am!), I had mentioned that my female self was going a little wacky. In Karen’s email alert she talks also of the feminine energy coming in, validating what I’ve heard. I’ve also noticed I am being forced to rest and do nothing, so hard for me because I constantly pushing and pushing. She writes, “It is about being. If we try and make anything happen right now, it can feel like navigating through quicksand.”

I honestly wasn’t a believer in all this woo-woo stuff. I am rather analytical. Prove it me! I always say. Be careful what you ask for. I am becoming so much more open as I change and experience some odd stuff! Go check out Karen’s alert at: http://www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/august26.2007.htm

TODAY’S POTIONS have been: Jump-up Viola#46, to have help with a step-up past issues you are dealing with; Dahlia #35, to work WITH spirit and the energies happening, Lavender #60, to soothe the nerve system, Kalanchoe Cactus#51, to push through any blocks in the throat /expression area, and Salvia, for emotional calm. (Need these? Order here.)
