Get to know your 7 chakras

What are Chakras? 

Chakra means “wheel”; a vortex of vibration, light and energy.

We have seven powerful energy centers within the body called chakras. And like the definition says, it is a wheel. So imagine your body is a car. You can't drive a your car with flat tires, just like your body can't function with unbalanced chakras.  

They start at the top of your head and go all the way down to bottom of your spine. These seven chakras are located in the astral body. Astral body means "soul".

A good way to visualize this is to think of them is as if they were little computers. And your body is the main system that cannot run without all of the other computers. Each center processes different information. They affect your mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

The seven chakras

The seventh chakra is called the crown chakra. It is located on the top of your head, and connects us to our higher consciousness. 

When off balance it can cause headaches, depression, hopelessness, and confusion.

When in balance, it helps us to live in the here and now as well as gives us trust with our inner guidance. 

A great way to help get your crown chakra in balance is to visualize a purple lotus flower inside the top of your head. Visualize the flower being full of pure energy. Imagine it getting larger and larger with every breath, as well as opening yourself up to your higher conscious level. 

The sixth chakra is called the third eye chakra. It is located between in the middle of your eye brows, and connects us to our cosmic insight. 

When off balance it can cause moodiness, loss of sleep, disrtrust, and a feeling of being imbalanced.

When in balance, it helps us to feel focused, and to feel a strong intuition and connection to spirit. 

A great way to get your third eye chakra in balance is to visualize a spinning blue indigo ball of energy in between your eyebrows. Visualize this blue ball of energy expanding all around your head, giving you the power to think without judgement or attachment. 

The fifth chakra is called your throat chakra. It is located in your throat, and connects us to our emotions, communication, and the way we espresso ourself. 

When off balance it can cause anxiety, and a feeling of insecurity. It can also affect your communication skills, and will make you feel like you have no control or power over your emotions. 

When in balance it helps us to speak out truth without fear or caring what other people may think. 

A great way to get your throat chakra in balance is to visualize your favorite food as a beautiful blue color. Visualize it going into your mouth and releasing any thing that may be blocking you from speaking  your truth. 

Your fourth chakra is called the heart chakra. It is located in our heart area, and connects us to our emotional self, our passion, love, and forgiveness. 

When off balance it can cause hopelessness, jealousy, abandonment, and anger. It can also make you feel disconnected to yourself and to others around you. 

When in balance it helps us to feel love, compassion, gratitude, safety, and will help us to feel connected to the people around us. 

A great way to get your heart chakra balanced is to visualize a green rose bud in the center of your chest. While doing this take in slow and deep breaths. Visualize that the rose bud is getting bigger with each breath while letting go of any anger, bitterness, negative or stagnat energy. 

Your third chakra is called the solar plexus. It is located in the center of your stomach, right under your rib cage. It connects us to our intuition, and confidence. It also gives us our will to live, and the drive to accept who we are as a person. 

When off balance it can give us anxiety, fear, depression, and loss of self confidence, and self worth.

When in balance it helps us to feel confident, accepting of ourself and others, powerful, and gives us a sense of peace and harmony.

A great way to get your solar plexus in balance is to visualize a ball of orange fire in the center of your stomach. Visualize this ball going up your body, out the top of your head, and to the sun. Stretch your body high as you can. Take deep and slow breaths and imagine that your body filling up with energy made from the purest light and love. 

Your second chakra is called your sacral chakra. It is located in your stomach, where your reproductive organs are. It connects us to our sexuality, emotions, creativity, and confidence. 

When off balance it can cause fear, guilt, dependency issues, jealousy, addiction, and shame of your body and sexuality.

When in balance it helps us to feel confident, independent, and sexual fulfillment. 

A great way to get your sacral chakra in balance is it visualize a ball of beautiful orange light under your belly button. Visualize that you are spinning this ball counter clockwise turning it into a funnel shape. While doing this imagine that pure white love and light is being poured into the top of the funnel.

And finally your first chakra, this to me is most important chakra as it is your energy base. It is called the root chakra. It is located at the base of our spine, and gives us the connection of being grounded/balanced, having security, as well as instincts of survival.

When off balance it can cause you to feel anxious, hopeless, anger, low energy/exhausted, and alienation. 

When in balance it helps us to feel full of energy, balanced/grounded, secure, and can affect your over all health in a positive way.

A great way to get your root chakra in balance is to visualize a red lotus flower at the base of your spine. Imagine with every breath you take that this flower grows bigger and is flowing with energy. Do this until you feel like you are full of good energy, and are completely charged. 

I have posted affirmations that link with every chakra. Say these affirmations daily to help keep you balanced. 

Once you start to become aware of your chakras, you will start to understand why you have emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual illnesses. 

You can start to heal yourself by being aware and in touch with your chakras. 

God bless

Everything is temporary

"Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny."

-CS Lewis

We all have our ups and downs in life. Things can seem so hopeless at times. But it is important to know that everything is temporary. The difficult situation you may be feeling today, or even this month won't last. 

Life changes every minute of every day. So if things are going good enjoy it, it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. This won't last forever either. 

Henry Ford once said it best. "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it".

Hardships are a necessity in life, it makes us stronger and wiser. It is important to know that you are strong enough to get through anything. God will lead you through the fire, all you have to do is take his hand. 

Do not let your past or present rob your future. We are all destined to do amazing things. Whether this is being a doctor, a social worker, a daughter, a wife, or even a parent. 

We affect so many lives around us, both in negative and positive ways. We teach people lessons on a daily bases. Don't ever beat yourself or others for the mistakes that have been made, accept the mistake and move forward. You are a fighter! Remember that you are made out of the best part of God. That means you can get through anything that life throws at you. 

Money, people, and situations will come and go. And the people that we love most will fail us, they are human. It doesn't mean they don't love you. It just means that they make mistakes. 

We all have our struggles, some more than others. We all face tragedy and despair. The true miracle is that we are able to grow from all of these experiences, even when the odds are against us. 

Remember that we are who we are because of the hardships we have faced. And out of hardships, a lot of opportunities come our way. For example, my husband had a job he loved but didn't make very good money. I had asked him over and over to go to a higher paying job, but he didn't want to leave. 

He ended up losing his job, and I don't work anymore due to my health. So as you can imagine this was devastating! Two days later he found a job where his hourly wage was doubled. I believe that God knew he wouldn't quit on his own, so he had to step in so we could get out of the financial struggle we were in. 

God will always come through, it may not be the way you want. But trust that he always knows what we need, and will always lead us to our true path. 

Some struggles may last longer than others. Losing a loved one is a very hard thing to experience, especially if it is a child. But know that as time goes by, your pain will get less and less. 

Your loved ones are always around. They come in to check on you, to love on you, and even just to say hello. And please know that this separation is not permanent. When your time here is done, you will be with them again. 

Please don't give up on yourself or on your loved ones just because things are hard. You can get through anything! And the people that are meant to be in your life will never leave. 

In regards to all things in life, this too shall pass 

God bless

Try to look beyond the hurtful things

Trying to look beyond hurtful words and actions is not always an easy thing to do. This is a topic that comes up a lot with my energy healing clients. And I myself have been affected by others words and actions.

I want to try and shed some light on this subject. When someone does or says something hurtful, the majority of the time it actually has nothing to do with you. 

An example, you go out to eat and the waitress is horribly rude your entire visit. This is where you need to try and look beyond her actions. She is most likely going through something in her personal life. Does this make it ok? No, but that doesn't mean that you should return the rudeness. Maybe instead do something kind, you never know how it will affect her day. 

We all struggle, life is hard on all of us. So the next time a friend, family member, or even a waitress or cashier says or does something that is mean or even hurtful. Try to respond differently. 

Think to yourself that they must be really struggling, and instead of lashing out do something kind. Maybe give an extra big tip, or compliment the cashier, tell your friend and family member that you love them. 

We never know how we affect others, and doing something kind in a situation like this can really affect someone's life. 

We are all guilty of doing this. I even do it, it's not something I am proud of but its human nature. We always take things out on others around us. 

How great would the world be if instead of getting mad and trying to hurt them back, we did something kind. I know it's frustrating and hurtful, but if you can put those emotions aside long enough to do something kind I promise the hurt and anger will fade away quickly.

I myself have lost several friends over the years. Mostly because I have been very misunderstood for the majority of my life. Being a medium and keeping that secret to myself explains a lot of it. But I also would react in a negative way, and this would only make the situation worse. 

I have let people's actions and words affect me so deeply in the past. I would cry and cry and would feel so alone. Now that I have the knowledge that I do, I am able to see the bigger picture. Does this mean I don't ever slip and lash out? Of course not, I am human. But being aware  and trying to break the cycle will bring more peace to you. 

Don't ever let someone's words and actions affect you in a such a deep way. Remember it's never about you, it's about them, and about what is going on in their life. 

Try to show love and kindness to the people that hurt you, and to the stranger that snaps at you. Reacting with kindness will spread, and it will make them think about what you just did for them despite the way they just treated you. 

Life is so wonderful, but unfortunately a lot of people don't get to experience  all of the amazing things life has to offer. We let our pride and ego get in the way of being happy.

So the next time someone does or says something hurtful, break the cycle. Turn it into something kind, not just for them but for you. Your happiness and peace is what is what important. 

My favorite saying is "what would Jesus do". He lives inside of all of us. We all have the ability to be like Christ. Let his love and light shine down on you. 

Gob bless

Energy Purging

When you undergo and kind of energy healing, your body will start to experience a kind of purging. This can happen with self Chakra cleansing through meditation, or can be done by a spiritual healers. 

This purge happens when you are removing negative, and old stagnant energy that is no longer helping you in a positive way. This energy being removed will then be replaced with pure energy made from light and love. 

Purging usually happens after your energy healing takes place. Your physical body is trying to adjust to the changes. Out with the old, and in with the new. Unfortunately the purging process isn't the most pleasant, but it's a good thing because it means that the healing is working. 

Everyone experiences something different when they purging process starts. Some will get mild flu like symptoms, stomach cramping followed by a release, as well as a big emotional release.

The most common in my experience is the emotional release. You may feel super emotional and cry a lot right after the energy work is done. And depending how much is being cleansed out, this can happen for a couple days. Don't worry, when this happens you will know you are on the right track.

Your body goes through a shift. It changes from the old energetic you, to the new energetic you. 

The goal as a healer is to remove all low energy, stagnant, and negative energy. Anything that is blocked, and is causing mental and physical illness. I will then replace it with pure light and love healing energy. 

Our mind is so powerful and we literally manifest illness when we are in this low and negative energy place.

People that usually come to me for energy healing are in a place in their life where they feel lost energetically, mentally, physically, and spiritually. 

Usually the people I do energy work for are people who have unhealed emotional trauma, anger, guilt, heartache, anxiety, depression, headaches, or even just feel out of sorts "off". There are so many things that healing can help you with, not just emotionally but physically as well. 

Energy healing is so powerful and when you start to open up your Chakras, and start to cleanse and protect your energy you will feel a huge shift in your life. 

You have 3 very important parts about you. The physical body, the spiritual body, and the energetic body. If one of these is not working properly it will throw everything off. 

Think about it this way. If you have 3 cables going into your tv, and one of the cables gets a short in it, the other cords are useless at this point. Your tv will no longer work, or maybe it will work but not the best way that it could. This is the exact same as the 3 parts that are you. 

So if your life seems to be at a stand still. Or you are having a hard time with your relationships, your job, or anything else in your life. It is most likely because you have 1 or more of these things that have a "short" in it. 

So if you get energy healing done and don't feel great for a couple days after this is why. This means it is working and you are on your way to becoming a heather you. 

"Clutter in your in physical surroundings, will clutter your mind and spirit.

-kaneisha

Talking with Jesus

I mentioned in my first blog post that it wasn't my guides that started talking to me about my gift and how to embrace it. It was actually Jesus, he started talking and leading me to a path I could not find on my own.

I remember one of my first conversations with him. I wanted to know about religion, and I needed help with finding my spiritual path. He told me that people get very lost in this area. He said that religion was man made, and that the true "church" was Jesus himself.

This was something I had always known, but had struggled with. The world we live in is all about religion, and people have a hard time understanding that religion and God are 2 very separate things. It's so important for you to know that you can have God in your life without going to a building every week. 

We are all apart of God. No matter what mistakes in life we make, he is always going to be apart of us. 

If we think about this in energy terms, try to imagine that God is the main energy source. Everything and everyone he has created, has his energy and love put into it. We are all created from him, and have his love and light inside of us. 

God and Jesus do not require for you to do anything to get their love. They love us no matter what we do, and what we don't do. He has told me that the good works we do should be because we want to do them, not because we think we have to do it in order to get into heaven. Being a good person should never be done for any reason other than that it brings you personal joy. 

They love all of us and their love does not come with requirements,or "fees" is how he put it. You don't have to go to a building every week to be with God. You only need to find Him and Jesus within yourself, and follow the path that will teach you the lessons that you came here to learn. 

You don't just come here once, we come here several times. In fact make our own "contracts", things that we need or want to work on and learn in this lifetime. We are connected to the people around us, and always have some connection with them in every life that we have. 

When I have talked about this with my clients, I have referred to our time here on earth as a job. We have a time card that we use to punch in with the moment we are born. And when our contract is up, we punch out. Sometimes we leave lives early in order to teach the loved ones around us certain lessons, and to make them stronger. 

Jesus is all about love, there is not cruelty or judgement that comes from him or from God. We all make our own destiny, we pre plan everything before we come here. If we don't follow our contract, then we will have to repeat it again and again. 

So if you come to this life, and don't learn the lessons you pre planned to learn, then it's safe to say you are not following your own contract. 

Remember that you are apart of God, and you have so much love and light within you. Sometimes it can be hard to see because our human body and minds feel pride, guilt, fear, and anger. Our ego's literally take over, and it blinds us from seeing how beautiful life can be. 

So when you get angry or upset with someones actions or words. Simply send them light and love and don't lash out in anger. Don't take what they say to heart, because in all reality it's never about you. It's about them, and their own insecurities and issues. 

This is a work in progress for me, so don't think I don't make mistakes and do these things because I do! I am human, and it's in our nature to experience so many negative thoughts, thoughts we would never have on the other side.

If you make a mistake, forgive yourself and move forward. We always think that God is disappointed, so we beat ourselves up so much about it. In all reality we beat ourselves up way more than is necessary. 

Try not to feel guilt and shame, that is all from the ego, and comes from the words of man kind. God does not shame you for anything, he loves us no matter what we do, and what we don't do. So try to live this life to the fullest, and learn from every negative and positive experience. 

If you want to be giving and do kind thing, know that this in no way will affect you going to heaven or not. Do it because it's what you want to do, not because you think it is required. 

God sends blessings are all around us. Sometimes it is hard to see all of the blessings because of our negativity as humans. Once you really start to put forth the effort into being positive, you will start to notice all of the wonderful things that are happening around you. 

If you have a horrible tragedy or loss, know that this is apart of your contract. It is not because God is trying to be cruel. It's because we have already planned for these tragedies, and hardships to take place in our lives. 

You're never alone, Jesus is always there to help guide and comfort you. All you have to do is reach out your hand and ask.

God Bless

Let go and let God

Forgiveness 

It is so important to forgive and to let things go. Not for the person that has wronged you. But for your own spiritual growth. If you hang on to hate and anger, it will affect everything about you. 

Not only do you need to forgive others. You also need to also forgive yourself. You can't change the past. So forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes. Your past does not define who you are. 

Now this doesn't mean you just sweep things under the rug and forget. You have to work through your hurt and anger, or it will keep popping up in your life. 

In order to be free of pain, anger, and hate is to acknowledge what has happened, and to work through the healing process. 

First thing that you must do is identify the problem. We all have several experiences that we struggle through. So it's best to identify one problem at a time. 

If you have unresolved issues with past abuse or trauma. It will block and unbalance your chakras, and will manifest into mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. 

You need to figure out the best way to work through these past experiences. You can start a journal, go to a spiritual healer, or even go speak with a therapist. 

This is not an easy process for anyone. Trust me, I work on this daily. But it is so important to let the bad stuff go, so that you can enjoy the good. It will be near impossible for you to truly be happy with your life if you hang on to all the bad and hurtful things that have happened to you. 

So next time someone does or says something that hurts you or makes you angry, don't lash out. Instead take a step back and send them light and love.

"Forgiveness is the choice to see people how they are now. When we're mad at people, we're angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances."

-Marianne Williamson  

Drifting away from friends and family is apart of life. When a friendships come to an end, it causes pain and sadness. Know that you have learned what you needed to learn from these relationships. Then let them go without bitterness and hate. Focus on the good memories, and the lessons that came from these relationship. 

If you lose a friend or family member, it is because you have outgrown that relationship. It's just like out growing a pair of pants, you don't want to keep the pants to remind of how they used to fit you. You need get rid of them, and buy yourself a new pair that will fit. 

Remember that every experience you have had, good or bad has shaped you into the person you are now. Take every bad situation as a learning experience, and make the choice not to let your pride and ego define you. 

Living in the here and now, and let go of the past. 

One thing we are all guilty of doing, is worrying about the future. I am a huge future worrier, and it can cause a ton of anxiety and stress. The thing that really helps me when I start to worry about the future, is to completely surrender myself to God. 

I always tell myself "I have everything I need for today". Try not to think about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. Try to focus on the current day. 

Stop trying to control everything, trust the process of life. We attract everything we put out there. So if you are worrying about the "what ifs" you are going to miss out on all the good that you could have in your life. 

Remember God always knows best, and things will always work out in one way or another. Surrender yourself to the present, and forgive the past. 

When you hold on to the past, you miss the opportunities of the future. The past can be a wonderful place to visit for memories, but it can also be a dangerous place. 

Don't let your past take away your future hopes and dreams. Let go of any fear and expectations. Simply appreciate the good that is around you. 

"For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self control"

- 2 Timothy 1:7

Let go and let God

God bless

Who goes to heaven and who doesn’t?

I have done hundreds of readings, and there is one question that I get asked the most. "Is there really a heaven? And if so do people who commit great sins get to go to heaven?"

The answer to this question is YES. This isn't always the answer that people want to hear. And honestly most of the time I get a blank stares and don't get a positive response to this answer. It's important for everyone to remember that no one is perfect. Our spirits are perfect, but we cannot remember what we truly are. What we are now are humans, and humans sin, it's in our nature. From a small lie, to murder. A sin is a sin.

But God loves us all unconditionally, and our life experience here on earth doesn't just happen this once. Outside of these bodies, we are perfect, and we don't sin. Our life here on earth has happened many times before, and will continue to happen. This isn't a one time journey. 

The best way I can explain this is that we do this, life after life. Which means we make mistake after mistake. Our spirit is perfect but our human form is far from it. None of us are born liars, cheaters, abusers, addicts, killers, etc. Things happen to us in our human lives and we evolve into these people. We all hurt someone is some way. 

But as soon as we die, we go right back to our perfect soul, and all of the knowledge of every life and every lesson comes flooding back. The reason we come back over and over is to learn and to evolve. Unfortunaly we don't always get it right. Sometimes we get stuck, and we just screw it all up. But on the other side we have nothing but love and support routing us on.

So the answer to the question, if someone kills will they go to heaven? Well yes, if they want to go to heaven they will. There are lower level spirits that do get stuck here and don't move forward. But that is their choice, they make that happen. And I will try to write a blog about that. But I have said this before in past blogs. God has NO conditions to his love. We learn from each life, each mistake, and it makes us better and closer to our goal of being divine. 

Is my loved one in heaven even if they committed suicide? 

This is a question I am frequently asked by people. The first thing I want to say is that God loves us all so very much. So of course people that committ suicide are in heaven. 

Situations in life are hard but always temporary. Life changes constantly! So if you do find yourself thinking these thoughts, just know that what you are going through is a temporary situation, and suicide is a permanent solution.

Anyone who commits suicide is mentally not doing well, and God would never punish someone for being mentally sick. 

God would never punish anyone for anything!! Let me say that again while you process this. GOD WOULD NEVER PUNISH ANYONE FOR ANYTHING! 

This is a concept that people just have a hard time grasping. God doesn't punish?? God doesn't stick people in an enteral fire pit of hell? Honestly before I had deep conversations with Jesus and honestly from what I believe from deep inside me was God too. I though the exact same thing. Heck I was a full on Christian and everything I believed was blown out of the water. 

But I had the source telling me this, how could I doubt this. I mean as he is telling me this, and it all made sense. I had no doubt. And all I could think was how all the fear everyone has in their live over God because of religion is so sad. And I knew I had to tell what I had learned. Even though people would say it was blasphemy, and it was the devil, and I was wrong. I knew I had to speak it, I knew I had to blog about everything I had been learning. 

Boy have men really messed with our heads on this one right? So basically from what I really try to explain to people is be a good person, and do good deeds because it makes you feel good, and because it makes you happy! Not because you think it's something you have to do in order to go to heaven. Your moral compass should be based on who your true self is, not based on fear. In the end we will all be together. 

God is all about love.

Love and light

Coming out of my spiritual closet

I woke up really early this morning to a close friend of mine who has passed. She started talking to me about my gift, and how I shouldn't hide it from the world. My Nikki girl, my heart was filled with complete joy to have woken up to her sweet contagious smile, and her words of encouragement. 

So I finally did it! I made a public post on my Facebook page "coming out" publicly. And even though I was so scared and anxious I had Nikki, my grandfather, and my guide John there around me giving me the strength and love to do it. 

Over the past month I have slowly been messaging people that I trust, people that I knew would love me regardless. After messaging them, and getting the wonderful support I stared to add them to a private FB page I had created for my clients to be able to schedule readings, and to post their amazing testimonials.

Today I made the page open so that the group could be seen by others. When I was changing the settings from private to closed, it was if I was changing myself from being private to open. It is a very surreal experience, something huge, and something life changing.

I came out to my entire family a week ago, and people still find a way to surprise me. You see I thought it would be friends/acquaintances that would not support me. But as I was laying in bed last night my guide John told me that a bunch of my family members had left the group. He told me that it was ok and to not to be sad about it. 

I got online too look and see who was still there, and even though I was very hurt by the ones who had left, and couldn't just stay to support me out of love. I felt so much love and respect towards the ones who were still in the group. My guides were with me, and comforting me all night. What a blessing right? A blessing that most people will never get to experience. 

I know this is going to affect me socially, I know that some people will remove me from their life, and I know some will even say that I am crazy. But for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I don't care what people's opinions are about me. I know that I was given a true gift from God, and I have helped so many people. 

I have struggled my entire life over the way people have felt about me, so much so that it has at several points in my life taken me down into a very deep depression. I would get so hurt over people not liking me, or talking badly about me. It would literally consume me. Today I finally am able to break free from this worry, and insecurity about others opinions. And thanks to my guides and loved ones on the other side working with me almost daily, I finally feel free, and I can say with such pride that I don't care what others think. 

I have always felt so misunderstood, and always have felt like I was such an outcast. An outcast with friends, and outcast with family, and even an outcast to myself. I have had a lot of issues with how I have handled situations, and how I have reacted when I have been upset. It makes so much sense to me now why I have done these things. Not only was I not letting go of my past and taking accountability for my own actions, happiness, and future. I am also a medium, a healer, and an empath. Being an empath means that not only was I having my own emotions and reactions, I was taking in others as well. And as you can imagine this gift if not controlled, has made me a time bomb several times in my life. I have lost a lot of people that I love because of this. 

I never knew what any of this was, or what to do with it all. I wasn't protecting my energy because I didn't know how, heck I didn't even know what energy really was. But now that I have finally opened myself up, and accepted this gift completely. It has given me an entirely different perspective on life, and how to protect myself, and my energy. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way perfect at this, but I have come a long way and am getting better each day. 

I have such anxiety right now for "coming out", but I feel so good, and I feel for the first time in my life like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. My guides have been working with me a lot the past couple weeks, they have been trying to tell me I was ready to "come out", and today when I woke up to Nikki being there, and after taking with her I finally just said "today is the day". 

Thank you so much to all of you that have supported me, especially my husband. He has been amazing and has encouraged me in so many ways. The kind of love and support that I get from him is so very rare, and I couldnt espress in words how very lucky I am.  

I am so happy and filled with joy, and relief. I am so excited to see where this journey will take me, and how many people that I will continue to help.  God is good, and he always knows what our true potentials, and paths are. Try to completely surrender yourself to the higher power, embrace who you are with pride! You don't need anyone's approval to be YOU. Good is good, and he loves you all so very much. 

Thank you again for your continued support. 

God bless

What is energy? And how does it work?

Everyone and everything is made of energy. This means energy lives in every person, place, or thing. Everything vibrates.

We all have layers of vibrating energy fields around us. We live in an environment where the energy around us is constantly shifting. 

When we are surrounded by conflict, whether it be people, places, food, ect. And most of us are unaware of how to protect ourselves, we then absorb all of this negative energy into us. Once you are aware and are making a counsious effort daily to protect and cleanse your energy, you will start to thrive no matter what is around you.

Blockages and imbalances in our energy will start to maifest into physical and emotional illnesses. Energy healing will remove these blockages as well as any attachments that are connected to you.

Once you start this healing process, you will start to heal emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. 

It's important to remember that energy work takes a lot of time. It's not something you can do once or twice and think all is fixed. Stay consistent, and never put any of your energy into anything you think is pointless. 

How can I feel spiritual energy? 

In order to feel spiritual energy you have to learn how to let go and remain in the present moment with a quiet mind.  As you let go of the little boundaries you have built up in your mind you will begin to develop an awareness of a vast inner space. 

This will give you the feeling of an enormous amount of freedom and with this freedom comes a creative and genuine appreciation for life.

It requires discipline and constant work. You will have to learn how to quiet your thoughts, and to be present in the "right now". This can be done by focusing on your own breathing, and meditation. 

Meditation can be very difficult to begin with especially for people with very 'noisy' minds, but with a continued effort results are inevitable. For beginners I always suggest listening to guided meditations. 

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new"

What should I expect when getting a reading?

The first thing that you need to do before a reading is make sure that you let your body and soul be completely open to the experience. It's normal to be somewhat skeptical, but if you walk into a reading with the attitude of "this won't work, this is fake" then it will be near impossible for me to connect to your energy. So if this is your personal belief then I would say that a reading is not for you.

I think a reading is best for people who are feeling lost, and have a huge void inside of them over the grief of losing a loved one. Before any reading I usually ask for my clients to either say a short prayer or do a short meditation right before the reading. I tell them to ask to be surrounded by light and love, ask that I am able to connect to their energy, then ask for any loved ones that have passed to come through during the reading. 

This experience will bring you joy, fulfillment, closure, and a cleansing feeling. These are all words that my clients have used to describe how they have felt after having a reading done by me.

Now this being said I cannot speak for other mediums, I can only speak about my work and my clients experiences, this experience is all about hearing from your loved ones that have passed, not for them to hear you. They hear you all the time, they are with you during the trials that you face, and they even pop in just to check on you. 

When I do a reading I like to go in with as little information as possible. This means I don't want to know who has passed, how they have passed, what they look like, or even struggles that you are currently experiencing in your life. I am all about validation. I will always ask the question "does this make sense"  so I would like for you to answer with a yes or no. So unless I ask a direct question, do not give me any information. 

I will start with telling you who I see/feel/hear around you. I will describe who they are, how they passed, a description if needed, and even memories that connect you directly to them. Spirits will often change their appearance from young to old, they will always try to come through as the way you remember them. This being said, there are times where I will be wrong or will misunderstand spirit. No one is 100% right, and any medium that tells you they are never wrong is not being honest. 

It can at times be overwhelming for me as a medium if a lot of loved ones are coming through at the same time. They get very excited, inpatient, and at times I have to remind them to slow down and take turns. This always makes me smile, trust me they don't lose their personalities when they go to the other side. 

A lot of the time I will get random words that will make absolutely no sense to me. But this one word usually ties into a memory or something current that is happening with your life right now. For example I have had spirit mention the word "blueberries" this was a memory of where my client and spirit had picked blueberries growing up. Sometimes I look at spirit and think "huh" lol but I have to say what I get or they tend to repeat themselves over and over. You see they are all about validation just as much as I am. They want you to know that they are there, and that is why they will mention things that only you and them would know. 

Spirit will often give you guidance with your life and will make sure that you are not holding on to anger or guilt in regards to them. They are in such a happy place, and any faults they had on earth are now long gone. They want for you to be able to have peace and love for them, not for their sake but for your own. Holding onto anger and guilt with affect your personal growth, and they only want the best for you.

It is important to be prepared for anything, spirit can bring up traumatic events such as abuse and other situations. This is not to upset you, but to set you free from what you are holding onto. This experience is amazing but is also very overwhelming. You are getting a ton of information, so if something is said that doesn't make any sense at the moment, it doesn't mean that it is not significant. I have had several clients that have messaged me days after the reading and say "I know what that meant now". Once you process everything usually other things will start to make sense. 

It is normal to be nervous or even anxious before a reading, the unknown is often scary and overhwhelming for us as humans. Even though I have talked about this is previous posts I want to again make it clear that everything I do is based around God and Jesus. I will not even allow for any darkness to come to me. I do not believe in witchcraft, and I always say a prayer before each reading. I believe 100 percent in what I do, and for me knowing that our loved ones and pets stay with us after they pass is very comforting. 

I hope that this answers a lot of your questions in regards to how I do my readings. Let the love and light shine upon you, God bless.

Love and light
