Recently when I was conducting a workshop I was asked this question: ‘I am a single mom with two young children and work fulltime. Between the times I wake up, to the time I go to bed, I do not have any time to sit quietly, let alone meditate. Can you help me?’
Here is my simple reply to her:

Self help is the best help. You are blessed with infinite potential. You just have to look within and around you and acknowledge the blessings in your life every day. You wanted to be a mother, and it was not easy. The labor pains you endured to give birth were a labor of love. They transformed you into a mother responsible for each baby’s life and well being, as they grow to adulthood. You are a co-creator with this infinitely creative universe. The entire Universe supports your every effort in your mothering.

Observe Mother Earth, in whose womb so much is continually being created. She is the very embodiment of patience and love. Be kind and patient with yourself and your children in their tender years. The age from 0-6 is called ‘the crowded years’ for very good reason. Put all your love into the care you give your children. Retreat into the point of stillness in activity as best you can. Pour the heart of the Infinite Divine Mother into your service to them. Make that your meditation as often as possible.

Be creative. Depending on your children’s age, find a way to include the stretching and breathing exercises into your mothering activities. If you are breastfeeding, rocking or otherwise quietly holding your child, try using one hand to do alternate nostril breathing. Make the breathing a meditation in which you include your precious child in the beautiful balancing, healing, renewing energy of the breath.

If your children are a little older, play some beautiful music each day, and do the stretching and breathing as a dance with them. Teach them to do the stretches with you, in their own dance and include deep abdominal inhalations and exhalations as they stretch and relax. Remember, this is an art. You patiently and lovingly weave the artistry from the raw material of your life. You weave it into the fabric, into the realities of your life circumstances.

Finding the heart of your own playful, inner child and giving it expression in your practice is freeing. Your practice becomes a celebration of life. Observe your children’s natural playfulness. Learn from them. Enter into playful expression with them as you discover new ways to bring this practice into your life with them. Share the joy of this art with them.

Do this, and you will find time to meditate deeply in the years to come. Opportunities to meditate more traditionally may present themselves sooner than you think, even if that meditation is brief. If no such opportunities arise, rest assured that you are laying the foundation for a more meditative life for both you and your children through your prayerful and conscious mothering today.

Being a mother is a beautiful gift. Your children still live in their innocent, pure being state. Let that state in. Let it inform you. Let it awaken the child in you that will lead you home to your own being.

First, break the rut of your old mindset that your life as a mother prevents you from practicing the breathing and stretching and brief meditation. Meditation can be 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes. It can be one breath wholly entered into.

Resolve to unearth the opportunities you do have. Say to yourself, ‘I am born to be happy. The whole universe is always working with me, flowing through me, to bless me in my motherhood.’ Wake up every morning intending to find those blessings. Look for every opportunity to lift yourself up and find and express the joy of your Spirit. You will find yourself calming down, slowing down, all while being dynamic in your responsibilities.

Your spirit is the inner source of the calmness of your mind and heart. The more you connect to it, the more you will flow from inside out all the time. Do what you do consciously, as a conscious act of love for your children, rather than getting lost in the single dimension of doing, in the busy-ness of your day. From the center of your being, the universe dances through you. You are born to be the dancer in the dance of universal consciousness.

If possible, practice stretching your body and breathing, and very briefly meditating. It takes only 10-15 minutes a day. You can do rhythmic abdominal breathing while you are driving. You can do alternate nostril breathing when stopped at traffic lights. Life will give you many opportunities, if you only have the playfulness of a child in looking for those opportunities.

The run-run-run, do-do-do quality of your life is a practice you created. Look back to your childhood, to your adolescence, to your youth and its struggles. You got into the habit of doing, always doing, but the thing we all must learn, though, is to undo. We have become unbalanced in the process. We have to learn to be. With all our doing, we feel frustrated and run down. We start complaining, grumbling and finding fault with things around us, and with ourselves. We have to undo. We have to unlearn. We have to become innocent. We have to learn to play again, with the enjoyment of a child, expressing the spirit that is eternally free.

When life throws you challenges and you don’t know what to do, wouldn’t it be great to have a “coach” to point you in the right direction?  Now how about a psychic life coach?  It doesn’t get much better than that, folks!

Leigh Cohen Wyatt is one such life coach, who comes with a huge bonus, as she is also a psychic!  As an esteemed member of both my online directories, Best American Psychics and Best American Healers, Leigh covers the full gamut, merging psychic and healing abilities into one.

As a gifted clairvoyant, Leigh has helped hundreds of people cope with the troubles and existential crisis they face during the journey of life.  Leigh’s guidance during readings is governed with the principles of compassion, love and friendship. By combining her training as a Life Coach and her psychic abilities, she helps people recognize their inner power and will. The personal power of an individual is something that can aid that person in overcoming the obstacles of life, and is of utmost importance.

The very identity of an authentic and reliable psychic is that he or she guides people to uncover and utilize their inner potential, and Leigh has been doing this for years. Her style is very friendly and intimate, yet extremely honest.   Honestly is one of the most important factors and is always considered crucial because even if being honest offends initially, it inevitably results in long-term benefits for the client.

Reading sessions with Leigh are divided into two kinds: half hour reading sessions and full hour reading sessions. Half hour reading sessions cover fewer details and are generally carried out over the phone. The full hour reading sessions encompass more detailed discussions and can either be carried out over the phone or in-person.

Thanks to the wide experience that Leigh has as a psychic, she has developed a remarkable ability to work with clients on their own personal levels, as everyone is different.  During individual reading sessions, Leigh’s style matches with the requirements of an individual, while during group reading sessions, collective understanding and the needs of the entire group are kept in consideration. The intricacies and mysteries of life are discussed without making them too complex.

If you are having issues in your personal or professional life or simply need answers, I highly recommend Leigh Cohen Wyatt as a source for reliable and satisfactory guidance. Having a reading session with Leigh will clear away the clutter and help you to see your life from a new perspective.

Although many people are gifted with extraordinary psychic abilities, there are only a few of them who utilize those abilities and talents for the betterment of society and individuals.  Joanne Salem is one such psychic with remarkable psychic powers, a wide acclaim and a highly respected reputation.

Speaking of reputation, it is a rare thing to receive a recommendation from law enforcement officials, yet Joanne Salem did just that,

“It is with pleasure that I endorse Joanne Salem. Joanne assisted me on several investigations while I was a member of the NYPD Cold Case Squad. With minimal information given, Joanne’s accuracy was clearly targeted and on point. She was so precise with facts that were strictly confidential. I will not discuss specifics on cases but will go on record suggesting that Joanne was and is a major asset and I intend to utilize her in my new endeavor as a Private Investigator.”
~ Mark W. Valencia Retired NYPD Detective Cold Case Squad and Current New York State Private Investigator.

From a very early age, Joanne could clearly sense her special talents that distinguished her from others. With the passage of time, she learned to utilize those psychic powers to help people looking for peace and comfort.

The psychic talents of Joanne were polished by a woman named Rosemarie, whom herself had brilliant psychic abilities. Under Rosemarie’s guidance and supervision, Joanne was able to bring forth the full potential of her psychic gifts and utilize those powers to heal others.

With the help of Rosemarie, Joanne’s skills of Claircognizance and Clairsentience flourished. After Rosemarie crossed over, she continued to help Joanne and now acts as her Spirit Guide.

In a very open and non-judgmental manner, Joanne provides reliable guidance and help to the people who are in desperate need of assistance. Healing others from pain and helping to resolve the mysteries of existence is something that Joanne aims for.

Sessions and readings with Joanne take place in a very comforting manner, as to ensure open communication and connection with her clients.  Once the connection is made, Joanne is able to gain the trust of the participants and hence provide them guidance on very specific levels.  She helps people find the power of their inner energy and the brighter side of their existence.

Throughout the years, Salem has helped hundreds of people in various domains of life such as love, relationships, career and other important fields.

In addition to arranging direct reading and psychic sessions, Joanne also provides readings and sessions over the phone, which is particularly useful for long distance meetings.

Joanne has used her psychic gifts in a very enlightened and positive manner and the reactions of hundreds of her clients are an eloquent testimony to the authenticity of her psychic powers as well as her friendly nature. Her clients include people from all walks of life and belonging to different states. Having a wide experience and guaranteeing the provision of reliable services, Joanne is widely recognized among the very best psychics of the country.

Joanne Salem is the type of psychic that gets directly to the heart of the matter by touching YOUR heart!  She is warm, loving, kind, gentle, and wonderful!  A reading with Joanne is a breath of fresh air, and it is with great pride that I recommend her as one of my Tested, Featured Psychics on Shay Parker’s Best American Psychics!

Reverend Claire Braddock, commonly known as TRUST Claire™ has been a psychic all her life and was able to sense this difference at a very early age.  She is a seventh-generation Scottish Psychic from her mother’s side and is happy to continue a long and well-reputed tradition of psychic ability.

Claire spent the major portion of her early life in a house that was built in 1885 and was an abode of several generations, and hence, many deaths.  Thus, her contact with spirits from the other side started at a very young age.  At the same time, her domestic environment of open spiritual exploration allowed her to investigate and improve her psychic skills.  It was not a great leap for Claire to realize that she was different from others, in a sense that she was able to contact and communicate with the spirit-world.

From the young age of sixteen, Claire began benefiting other people with her psychic gifts and provided reliable counseling to the people in need of comfort.  Since then, Claire has been utilizing her talents to improve the lives of hundreds of people by providing them reliable guidance about life and the puzzling questions about existence. The circle of her clients has well extended beyond the borders of the US and includes clients from countries like South Africa, Egypt, Scotland, Australia, England, New Zealand, France and Canada.

Claire helps countless people in search of inner peace and spiritual comfort. Broader work of Claire enshrouds almost all the aspects of psychic senses, but she has special gifts in three areas. These areas are Clairvoyance, Telepathy, and Precognition.

Being a clairvoyant medium, the use of third eye or sixth chakra for the purpose of deciphering the knowledge about parallel lives, past and future is among the uniquely gifted talents of Claire.  TRUST Claire™ earned her name for a reason, as she values ethics as a top priority in her work.  Avoiding seeing into the personal lives of people for the purpose of manipulation is a strict rule that Claire adheres to, and she only conducts psychic readings on those that give her permission to do so.

Most of the time, the psychic sessions are done via telephone, but this is not a strict rule.  Claire also regularly participates in Holistic Psychic Fairs as a reader.  During private sessions, Claire offers the option of providing and audio recording of the reading, which many of her clients find helpful.

In addition to providing psychic services to individuals, Claire also works on a collective level for the betterment of society. Claire reaches the masses through her regular BlogTalk Radio show, Ancestral Voices™, a live, Gallery Style Psychic show, which is the very first of its kind.  During this unique show, Claire opens all the call lines available and begins to channel psychic messages for all those listening on studio call lines.  It is a wide-open style of reading, and as messages come to Claire, she tells her listening audience what she is “getting”.  Her messages begin to resonate with certain callers, and they speak up, indicating that the message is for them.  Claire offers specific, evidential information in order to differentiate between the messages she is receiving.

TRUST Claire™ has been recognized for her outstanding accomplishments within the metaphysical community.  She is a tested member of my own psychic directory, Shay Parker’s Best American Psychics, where she received the Team Player Award for 2011, and she is a Featured OM Times Psychic as well!  Claire has an impressive education in Counseling Hypnotherapy, a long family tradition, and a wide experience of psychic counseling, Claire has established herself as one of the most respected and well reputed psychics throughout the country.  I am very proud to recommend TRUST Claire™ as an ethical, trusted, professional, and accurate Psychic Medium.  Her name says it all, folks, you can TRUST Claire™!

“High-pitched harmonics moved like lasers of light through the right side of my head, down through my body, searing my heart.”  When Stewart Pearce opened his eyes, twelve luminescent Orbs floated in mid-air in front of him.  He felt embraced by their supernal Love.

A voice sounded, naming the Orbs as the Angels of Atlantis, and advised Stewart he would receive a body of knowledge concerning the power of sound at the core of creation – a temple of sound healing intended to illuminate humanity’s return to wholeness, from disharmony to harmony.  And, through harmony, to show the way to balance the free will of humanity with Divine Will.

That miraculous day was in 1987 while Stewart was entranced in meditation during the Harmonic Convergence at Glastonbury Tor.  Since that time, this charismatic metaphysician has been gifted with divine transmissions from the Twelve Archangels of Atlantis, revealing that within each of us is a signature note – a sonic talisman – the key to removing negativities in our humanity, and the feverish desire for materialism.

“I was both in awe of the experience and desperately overwhelmed by the Angels’ request.  Everything in my life had to, and did change in the years following my interlude with them.  Relationships ended; my career as an actor diluted.  Who was I to be worthy of this illumination?”

 His angelic mission evolved along side his career as a Master of Voice, guiding royalty and statesmen on stage presence, and the power of voice.  His clients have included beloved Diana, Princess of Wales, Simon Callow, and Anita Roddick.  In addition, Stewart coached actors at two preeminent stage companies, Webber Douglas Theater, and Shakespeare’s Globe Theater in London.  Over a period of two decades, Stewart discovered his spiritual lineage, studied with a Native American shaman, and many great spiritual teachers.  Since 1997, Stewart has progressively brought into creation the Angels’ divine transmissions through books and lectures, and through his work as a Seer, Sound Healer, Angel Medium and Voice Alchemist.

With inspired guidance from the 12 Archangels, Stewart travels the world, teaching the intelligence and compassion of the heart through the breath of the song of the soul.  There is little need to wonder why the Angels chose Stewart to convey this divine body of wisdom.  Who better than Stewart Pearce, Master of Voice, to lend his human voice to the messages of the Angels of Atlantis?

Chatting over Skype, Stewart’s radiant voice invokes a hypnotic serenity. In conversation, warmth and gentleness emanate from his every word as if to assure you “all is well.” At times, I felt like I was speaking directly with an Angel—perhaps, in a way, I was!

In this interview, Stewart shared insights on the teachings of the Angels, which he writes about in most recent book and companion Oracle cards, The Angels of Atlantis:  Twelve Mighty Forces to Transform Your Life Forever. He discusses the origin of souls; acts of evil in the world; and he shows us—though the world is very vulnerable on the cusp of 12/21/2012—the possibility for healing humanity exists through conscious choice and collective belief in the Power of Love. 

Karen:  How does The Angels of Atlantis tie in with your previous work on The Heart’s Note and The Alchemy of Voice?

Stewart:  Since the advent of modern science and the rapid rise of literacy, we’ve been educated, conditioned and socialized to live in our heads not our hearts, and so we may hear or perceive this in contemporary society by the way we sound in our heads.  The Heart’s Note shows the multiplicity of how to honor the heart’s counsel—just as in ancient civilizations the heart was honored as the ‘seat of the soul’.  The Alchemy of Voice, reveals how to empower yourself by finding your sonic talisman, or signature note – an elemental sound too often given away as a reflection of your personal power, when you are faced with frightening or conflicting situations.  Once you find your signature note, you find your power and you have the ability to move from disenchantment to enchantment, living and breathing who you truly are.

The Angels want us to be who we truly are, to see ourselves as loving, honest divine beings and to create our world through the Power of Love, not love of power.  The Angels of Atlantis Oracle Cards provide a way for you to tap their wise counsel.  They ask us to live in our hearts, the seat of the soul, to chant and speak their loving vibrations from our heart, which you learn from working with the cards.

Karen:   In The Angels of Atlantis, you write “humanity is being engaged in an evolutionary impulse of the cosmos … passing through steps to become consciously self-realized divine beings.”  Tell me more about this.

Stewart:  Humanity is moving away from a love of power toward the power of love.  This is a conscious choice, even though people have a tendency to choose desperation rather than inspiration, in order to change or transform.  Because our choices are so often based in miscreation, we firstly become physically and spiritually ill, rather than invigorated, inspired and intuitive.  These conditions then herald change, as a movement, back to wholeness.

The heart symbolizes life on planet Earth.  Metaphysically, blood flows through it in a figure of eight, the symbol of infinity.  Physiologically, the heart has its own nervous system of about 40,000 neurons.  Scientists at the Fels Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia discovered the heart sends messages to the brain.  The brain responds to the heart’s counsel but the heart does not respond when the brain sends signals to the heart.  Furthermore, within the heart lies a secret chamber whose very walls reverberate with the eternal jewels of love, empathy and compassion.  These gems evoke through their teaching our ability, in fact our power, to heal our lives, and consequently to heal our world.  It must be humanity’s utmost conviction to allow the power of our hearts to manage our thoughts and feelings.

Karen:   Yet, too many of us still choose fear and over love, self-interest and competition over collaboration and compassion.  The result is war – war within the individual and war between individuals and societies.  Why?  Surely, the Angels can inspire us to do better with our free will.

Stewart:  Those human beings who explore negative behaviors are attempting to expiate their soul’s karma.  It’s just that they’ve lost their way, and in a world that is based on choice, they’ve become caught in either individual or collective thought patterns, making it difficult to express who they truly are, which is Love.

Karen:  What is your understanding of where souls come from and what they are?

Stewart:  A soul is a combination of frequency of light, color and sound.  Souls are sparks of light arising from the core of Source.  Each soul is unique and it shapes itself.

Karen:  Regarding humanity’s movement back to Source, to Truth and Grace here on Earth:  Why such painful separation if the journey is to return to Source?

Stewart:  In 1603 (when Elizabeth 1 passed), a thought revolution took place which utterly changed post-Medieval education and culture.  This was the development of a theory that the Earth (considered up to that point as being sacred) was literally a piece of matter hurtling through space.  Suddenly, we unplugged from the nourishment of the anima mundi (world soul).  With the advent of Newtonian physics, we desacralized nature and moved from the heart into the head, from the body into the cerebral domain – and nothing has been the same since!

If you regard Mother Earth thus, of course you cease to be co-creative.  Therefore, although the prevalent belief was that “God had breathed on the waters and brought forth life,” if Mother Earth is void of soul, where do you go for principle succor when you require it?  You go to someone else, and if you can’t receive it because they are unprepared, you steal it; it’s called the “control drama” or “co-dependency” or “a belief in scarcity” or “debt.”  Wholesale, we unplugged from believing we were divine beings having a human experience.

Karen:  Speaking of divine beings having a human experience, at the end of 2011, a group of Tibetan monks set their bodies ablaze to protest oppression in their homeland.  I am still saddened and confused that such a peaceful people must resort to such acts to make a point to world leaders who are “in power” at present.

Stewart:  I am sure many people are equally saddened and confused by such acts.  As for the Tibetan Monks, perhaps they thought of themselves as eternal beings and therefore could transcend death.  As for our perception: their action reminds us how fragile the body is in face of the Divine.  They sacrificed their physical body, their humanness, as a metaphor for the self-destructiveness humanity perpetuates upon itself and the planet in pursuit of the love of power.  Nearly three thousand people died in the destruction of 9/11 – most of whom, on a soul level, chose to sacrifice themselves to a supernal energy far above the horror and carnage that the world witnessed that day.  The lesson we can take from sacrifice, on a soul level, is that the soul may set itself free [from the physical/material world], to show us both the error of investing our energy in the love of power and to remind us there is more than what we see in front of us.  There is eternal life!

And that’s why we are having this conversation.  We are silently (and some not so silently) outraged by humanity’s condition, we are moved by the very choices we have made, and we are attempting to do something about it.  Look at the OWS (Occupy Wall Street) movement: Groups of leaderless, peace-motivated people commenting on the corruption without and within, and then lamentably being beaten by BIG BROTHER!

Karen:  Even those of us who are spiritually aware, often feel unable to come to terms with the evil acts people commit in order to acquire personal, emotional and financial power.  How is it that such souls are, in any way, connected with Source?

Stewart:  I don’t believe Soul is evil.  Soul, at Source, is utterly inclusive and pure Love.  The Soul, as an element of photonic energy downloads into Earth-and other planetary vibrations, remembering what is to be achieved or transcended.  The Soul lives out its karma.  Soul then redeems itself.  Through the desperation of not perceiving Love, a Human being may then make choices that most of us find utterly despicable, even though the Soul (vibrating on a much higher frequency) is aware.  When a Soul returns to Source, it is taken into the halls of Truth and experiences the pain that had been felt on a human level by the atrocities inflicted by the individual.  Just imagine what Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden must be experiencing in the after-life.

Karen:  You write, “The angels are here to remind us of the creative state of immortality that is the only true function of our creative purpose on Earth.”  From your experience with the Archangels, can you share with Om Times readers practical guidance for daily living?

Stewart:   The angels want to drench us in Love.  Angels love for the sake of love, whereas we humans tend to love for the sake of being loved.  The first step for humanity is to mature in the way we feel about the heart’s counsel, which I spoke about at the beginning of our conversation.  To consciously choose to follow one’s heart brings about a bridge between linear thinking and intuitive sensing.  We must stop living the stress-filled lives that we live, acting in ways that close the heart.  In order to honor the heart, we have to curtail being fixated with living in the head.  So, get out of your head as often as you can.

Just as important is for each of us to consciously choose inspiration over the drama of desperation.  As a society, we seem to enjoy latching onto Armageddon.  Remember that the world you see on the nightly news is misusing power and mis-creates through negative behaviors that simply appear to be functional in society.  If all of humanity truly believes in the Power of Love, we would not inflict pain and misery on our brothers and sisters or our living planet, the ways we see the so-called powerful people doing.

Choose co-creation with nature, so we can cultivate the possibility to be at one with the great Mother and great Father.  Focus on the fact that, for every miscreation there are hundreds of loving thoughts.  These are higher vibrations, and seem to miss our attention.  So, find your way back to Love, rather than focusing on the opposite.  Condition yourself to move away from the illusory thought patterns that perpetuate fear, greed and love of power.  As Gandhi said:  Be the change you want to see.

As thought creates reality – create a world in front of you that is a reflection of your truth, beauty and love … say the Angels.

Karen:  In my lifetime the last biggest prediction was the Y2K bug, which didn’t amount so much as a technological glitch.  Now, 12/21/2012 looms in the not so distant future.  Can you shine a little angelic light on why many prescient people have made some very catastrophic predictions that have not amounted to anything?

Stewart:  I too have lived through many predictions that have not come-to-pass.  Why didn’t these predictions happen?  The straightforward answer is that the events didn’t occur as we expected.  Everyone expected Y2K to manifest in technology.  But, if you go back through the news of the day, you’ll recall there was an epidemic of influenza in Europe at the beginning of 2000.  Literally, tens of thousands of people died from influenza.  The Y2K ‘bug’ manifested as influenza because people believed it was going to happen, affecting the heart chakra, the thymus and the immune system.**

The supernal answer to your question is this:  I believe the Light-workers of the world have been working through the energy of consciousness and the power of choice to stabilize nature.  However, the world is still very vulnerable in its present condition.

Karen:  What have the Angels communicated about humanity on the cusp of the Aquarian Age?

Stewart:  As more people direct their energy and intentions to Love, as each of us learns to radiate Love, through the unique signature note we each possess, the planet moves from discord and dis-ease to harmony and healing.

The Angels wish to make us very aware of being the change we want to see in the world.  Their hope for us is that we will live every moment as a pulsation of Love.  The Angels’ core teaching is this:  The space within us is an Eden, not a Hell, and we need to dwell in this Truth.

Most of us are exposed to other people on a daily basis, through that we encounter their energies, and unfortunately they may not always be carrying around the most positive of energies. We can become exposed to their toxic emotions and end up irritable or ill because of it. I’m a firm believer that physical dis-ease and illness manifests on and outer level before reaching our physical bodies. Even the common cold; it’s common for a reason, and a great indicator that our body needs to purge and take a break. With all the people that we encounter, it is very possible that we are bringing them into our homes, our place of work, or whatever other physical space we are in. These physical locations can hold stagnant or just plain ‘old negative energies there and they need to be cleared.

There can be many other reasons for needing to clear your space, such as:

Psychic Vampires–They Really Do Suck.

You know those people who almost seem content when miserable, and would love nothing more than for you to join them? I can be a sucker to this as an empathic soul; or conversely, a horror to them with my overly optimistic attitude when I am on high alert. They usually run the other way when I won’t join in and when my response is too look on the bright side. These people can leave you feeling drained and tired much like the vampires from the movies. Instead of sucking your blood, they suck your energy.

In-home Visitors.

You home is like your temple. A very sacred place. I am personally very apprehensive of allowing people into my home, maybe it’s because I’m a Cancer and the home is my sacred source of strength and recharging. This is where I am most sensitive because it is where I am most comfortable, and I imagine most people feel the same way. I frequently clear my home space after various people come by for parties. Why? I like the ‘normal’ flow of my home to match my laid back temperament. After such heighten energy, I feel most comfortable turning it down; think of it as adjusting the temperature.

So how do we protect sensitive selves? First of all we can shield ourselves, not putting up walls, but by setting boundaries. A boundary can save many relationships, and save you from some energetic unpleasantness. A boundary is like drawing a line in the sand, or perhaps placing some invisible space in-between you and perceived trouble. Boundaries require no dismantling, whereas those impenetrable walls can take some time.

Protecting yourself with Reiki:

Depending on the level of your Reiki attunement, you can use your Reiki symbols. Draw your symbols around you as if you are in a invisible box, all four sides of you. Do the same the same on top of your head, and below your feet. Some people prefer the “Reiki Box’, I personally like the egg shape, since it matched the aura; however, I do use both for different purposes. If you are not attuned to Reiki, or if you are at Reiki level one, you can do this by visualizing white or golden light around you and praying. I like working with angels, and different colors; the color for Reiki is a deep purple/violet. You can use different colors for specific protection or to invite different angels in, or draw specific energies to you (that’s a post for another day!).

Clearing you space at home

Step 1: I light my candle(s) and my sage on my altar space. You can substitute sage for and incense or something similar, as long as you know it’s intended to clear. I take some deep breaths to drop in and center.  I set my intentions for my clearing, and ‘activate’ my Reiki. Depending on what school of Reiki you are from, use the method most comfortable to you. If you are not attuned to Reiki, simply pray, set your intention for your space clearing, and ask your angels for assistance.

Step 2: I start by using the sage around myself. I breathe it in, and move it all around my body, both front and back. I then start with the room I am in and use my Reiki symbols on each wall of that room. You can use whatever symbols you wish. As I do this I am speaking out loud my intentions for what I want in my space, banishing negative energies from my space, and inviting my angels & guides to stay with me here in my space. Do this for each room if you feel it is needed. Depending on the frequency of your clearings, you may only want to clear particular rooms. Remember to clear your doorways, specifically the entrances to your home.

Step 3: Place your sage down, say your thanks, ask your angels & guides to continue watching over you, guiding you, and protecting you. Pray as needed. Breathe in your new space, and believe me, it will feel new, as if you opened up a window and fresh air came through! Enjoy.

Whether you are a Reiki Practitioner, empathetic, or both like myself, you may be picking up on the many energies out there without even realizing it. Being attuned to Reiki energy is marvelous! We have tools to aid us in this life.

Natural Wellness Strategies for the Menopause Years

Healing therapies for the female life transition

Research indicates that 6,000 women in the States reach the menopause every day! This does not include the even larger number of women who enter the perimenopause every day, the long and sometimes challenging phase, which leads to the actual menopause. For some women the perimenopause begins in their 30s when their hormones start to change.

Each woman will experience ‘the change’ in her own way and, in her book Women’s Wisdom: Natural Wellness Strategies for the Menopause Years, Alexander highlights an exhaustive list of helpful strategies, including nutrition and herbs, meditations and imagery, flower essences, vibrational healing through quartz crystals, reflexology, and more. Celebrating a reconnection with natural life cycles, thought-provoking suggestions are explored for envisioning this profound change as a rite of passage, and not something to fear.

The advice in Alexander’s book enables individual women to use the treatments and tools that work for them rather than relying on hormone replacement therapy with its associated side effects and problems.

During the menopause, women are often surprised to discover that it touches every aspect of their being, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Causing outworn beliefs and unhealed wounds from the past to come to the surface. Whilst the menopause can be challenging it is ultimately very rewarding, as this midlife metamorphosis allows you to reinvent yourself for the next chapter of life.

Alexander’s book empowers the reader with the knowledge, skills, resources and support to embrace menopause with confidence, honor and ease!
