DIY Ceremony-Vernal Equinox

March 2, 2021 by Elaina Geltner

Authors: Elaina Geltner, Barbara Steinberg and the Spirit of QuietStar

We offer you this SoulPath Alchemy™ formula to create your personal ceremony to harness the power of the increasing light at the Vernal Equinox.

The Vernal Equinox is one of two moments in the astronomical year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator so that an equal amount of daylight and darkness are experienced around the Earth. This moment is a balance point as we move from the darkness of Winter into the light of Spring. It occurs every year around the 20-22 of March in the Northern Hemisphere.

Collecting what we have dreamed about in hibernation, we now have the opportunity to plant these seeds in the emerging warmth and sunlight. Under the astrological sign of Aries (March 21st to April 19th), these seeds will thrust upward from the soil-less garden of our mind-heart-body-spirit connection.

Remember: what you plant (give energy to) in Spring will emerge into the increasing Light, to blossom and be harvested during the coming seasons.

The Alchemy of the Seasons:

Accumulate in the winter
Plant in the spring
Fire in the summer
Harvest in the fall

In other words, Imagine a fruit tree: In the winter, it lets go of its leaves in the winter, so it can accumulate energy in its roots. It bursts forth with renewed energy in the spring.

Bulbs need that time of resting and gathering energy from the earth, to store for that magnificent blossoming in the spring.

In the spring we plant the seeds, water the bulbs and watch the new energy spring forth.

In the fall, we harvest, separating out the chaff and tilling it back into the soil

From Elaina: I have been doing alchemical ceremony on each of the Equinoxes and Solstices for over 30 years. I continue to adapt and tweak what I do to fit my own and the universe’s evolution. I invite you to look at our suggestions, and then design your own…

Embrace the Age of Aquarius-HFBYS#23

February 9, 2021 by Elaina Geltner

Aquarius pouring water-Embrace Aquarius energy — Age of Aquarius energy

Embrace Aquarius energy! There’s a new energy in town to support your quest to be more of yourself. You will be happy to know that the Age of Aquarius is finally here! Let’s explore how to capture the momentum and ground it into our human experience in the highest good of all.

The Cosmic scoop:

Like all great transitions, this movement from Pisces to Aquarius has taken years to affect our lives. Even though they told us that this shift began 60 years ago, astrologers are now saying it arrived on the 2020 Winter Solstice, signified by the brilliance in the night sky with the Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.

What to expect:

To view what to expect from this advancing Age, we look toward the sign of Aquarius (January 20-February 19). It is an air sign packed with intelligence and creative ideas, the water bearer to humanity. We are spiritual beings contained in physical bodies so the water borne by Aquarius will feed our bodies. The visionary intellect of this sign supports all who wish to be a clear and open channel for the Light.

This has two facets:

Flowing water (see the self-care section above)
The creative and intellectual power of visionary proportions.

1. The Water:

Icons representing the sign of Aquarius show flowing water as it pours from the vessel held by the Water Bearer. To nurture our bodies we need to seek out water that moves, such as ocean waves, a flowing stream or even a shower.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Close your eyes and imagine that you are standing in a tropical pool.

Your bathroom shower is a small waterfall that is pouring its healing water over you.

Take advantage of what is available so you can experience moving water that keeps us grounded, clear and refreshed as you feel the water pour over your body.

The practice of “Outrageous, intensive self-care” can keep us aligned with the energy of the Age of Aquarius.

constellation of aquarius-Embrace Aquarius energy — Embrace Aquarius energy

2. Creative Ideas:

Our minds will be filled to overflowing with ideas as we embrace the Aquarius energy. Some will be worthwhile; some will be just ideas that bring stimulation to our minds for more ideas. For us to identify and benefit from the ideas that are worthwhile, we each need a sorting mechanism. Ideas:

Creating an Idea Journal can keep us from the feelings of overwhelm that come from a mind too full of “great” ideas. Bringing these ideas into substance by entering them into an Idea Journal gives us a sense of empowerment and control over our racing collecting mind.
Brain Dump: A time-honored practice of putting all the ideas running around inside onto a giant piece of paper is a great tool here. After you do that, connect with your HigherSelf and ask what to do now, later, never. Release the “never” to the other realms. Create a timed to-do list for the rest.
Use your HigherSelf as a Gatekeeper

In closing, whew! These practices can keep us open and aligned with the energy of the Age of Aquarius. Our HigherSelf~Spirit Guides Course will give you more tools. Check it out here

Be YourSelf-Everyone Else is Already Taken!

December 22, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

What if you could Be YourSelf? The cool part about being on your SoulPath is that it is YOURS…uniquely yours. Your SoulPath Vibration™ is yours. Your unique combination of spiritual gifts, talents and abilities is found nowhere else. Think of it as your fingerprint.

Thomas Merton humorously stated that there was “very little chance of my being anybody else”. But we keep trying!! It seems to me that most of our spiritual malaise comes from how much time we spend being someone else. how much time have you spent trying to emulate those you look up to? What would happen if you tried to be yourSelf???

Alchemical Meditation:

Center yourself. Take several deep breaths and imagine pulling all your energy and awareness back to yourself. Take a moment to think of all the people and situations where you’ve been “adjusting” yourself. And imagine that you can let go of all that and focus on your core column of light. The beautiful tube of light that connects heaven and earth right through your chakras. Continue to breathe into that light, imagining that you are whole and complete. Just right as you are. Observe how the energy changes. What do YOU feel like? What is the vibration of YOU? The real you? What would this energy have you do or be?

Action challenge:

Now, here is the challenge: How can I, today, express my Self a little more. And a little more tomorrow. You don’t have to make big changes. Small ones add up! Share your wins with a trusted friend or record in your journal. Did anything “bad” happen when you took this chance? Look back from time to time, and acknowledge your progress.

Going deeper: Be YourSelf, part 2

Imagine yourself in a beautiful sanctuary of your own choosing. It might be a place you have been or it might be in another realm. Or a product of your imagination. Take a few moments to settle in.
Invite your HigherSelf, ascended masters and all your inner parts to join you in a celebration of who you really are.
While gazing at the Glyph, imagine that you have all the tools and all the resources that you need. And just allow the scenario to unfold.
Let the answers come without judging or even understanding them:
- If I had all I needed, with no limitations or responsibilities, what would I do?
- What is the source that I am most connected to?
- What supports my unfolding?
- What is my secret desire?
- Who are my allies?
Allow yourself to see, feel, hear, or just know: How is it to be fully expressing? How do you FEEL?

Note the way it feels to be you. Take some time in your journal to write, draw or collage. Use this as a template for who you are; to remind you to be YOU.

Love and Light,

Hibernate Like a Bear – Enter the Stillness HFBYS#21

December 9, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

Hibernate Like a Bear-Enter the Stillness

by Barbara F Steinberg, PhD, Certified SoulPath Alchemy™ Facilitator.

Bears symbolize introspection and intuition blended with instinct. In ancient times bears were thought to die each Fall, to be reborn each Spring, verifying their spiritual power over death. Their emergence in the Spring was proof that bears were given the power of resurrection through rebirth.

What is Hibernation? How can it serve humans?

Hibernation, the great sleep means entering into the spiritual world for spiritual realignment and emerging in the Spring as a changed balanced being. Bears awaken from their long journey in the spirit world, having become greater in spirit, smaller in body. We see this metaphor as symbolizing the shedding of the worries and concerns of the real world to be reborn.

Great healers, like the Bear, restore balance and harmony. The Bear is the keeper of the dream time and stores the teaching of dreams until the dreamer wakes up to them. Many tribes have called the space of inner-knowing the Dream Lodge where the death of the illusion of physical reality is overlaid by the expansiveness of eternity.

For the shaman or medicine person, it is in the Dream Lodge where our Ancient Ones sit in council and advise us regarding alternative pathways that lead to our goals.

Enter the Stillness

When I enter the stillness, the cave of darkness, I seek my inner silence and peace as I sit with our Ancient Ones. Bear, the Spirit who walks between all worlds, stands over me. Together we have looked into the great valleys of dreams. Together we see the truth of who I am and how I can express that truth in reality.

Going deeper:

If you gaze at this Glyph while asking Bear to assist you in bringing in the PAUSE of hibernation, you are likely to have a deeper experience.
During the time of Winter Solstice, Bear can bring his/her energy of trust to help you re-calibrate.

May the wisdom of the bear serve you in the time of Winter Solstice, or whenever you are choosing to drop in to the Stillness.

Blessings,

A Simple Act of Faith: A (SoulPath) Alchemical Formula™

November 12, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

A Simple Act of Faith

Letting go and trusting the Light will return. Ever felt like you really needed to let go? Fall is a season of letting go of the fruits of our intentions and labors for the year. The harvest. The time of separating the wheat from the chaff. In my life, that means looking at all the projects, ideas, and efforts of the year. Then keeping what really worked, and letting go of the rest. Preparing for the inward time of winter. This can be rather anxiety-producing for someone like me who likes to see action and results.

Today I spoke with a client who was challenged with a lingering dry cough. She was clear that it’s a detoxing reaction as she lets go, body, mind and spirit, of old ways of being in the world. After looking at physical remedies with essential oils and such, we checked in on the energetics. There was a deep discomfort with the demands of the season: in preparation for the dark of winter when plants go deeper inside and accumulate energies for sprouting in the spring. The solution: plant a bulb in the ground to remind you that after enough energy is stored in the roots, a new flower will surely sprout! Nature is a wonderful teacher about the natural cycles of life. Being in tune with these cycles helps us to connect with the periodic ebbs and flows instead of fighting them!

Ceremonial process:

Go to your favorite nursery. Walk around soaking in the nature. (You can also visit a grocery store or gift store)
Visit the bulb section. Ask the Devas and Nature Spirits to help you intuitively choose just the right one.
Back at home, write down all that you are letting go of. Shred or burn the paper when you are complete, imagining letting go as you do this.
Choose the best place to plant “your” bulb. If you prefer, use a pot and keep it indoors. Or dig a hole outdoors. Use the ashes or shredded paper to “fertilize” your bulb; allowing the old energy to transform. You might feel like adding something else in the hole: a special rock, crystal, poem, feather, photo of what you would like to create in the spring, or whatever calls to you.
Add dirt, and let it rest. See if you can feel the Deva of the plant. (Devas are the non-physical beings that hold the signature vibration so the plant can become what it is meant to be. They can be experienced in the extracted essential oil; fruits, seeds and bulbs; and with the actual plant. Some people “see” them as fairies or orbs of light. )
If outdoors, mark the spot with a special rock, sign, flag. This way you can visit your bulb whenever you need to be reminded something IS happening; you just can’t see it yet. Be sure to resist the urge to dig it up and look!!!
Use your journal to record your experience of cultivating faith that your hopes, dreams and desires will sprout in due time.

I would love to hear your experiences with this ceremony. You can share in our private community online here. Sharing helps you integrate the experience as well as inspiring others!

Blessed trusting,

Retrieve Your Power + Re-Calibrate – Hint for Being YourSelf #20

October 26, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

This is being written as we complete a mercury retrograde season, a political election season, and much more. However, this process would be great for anytime you finish a project, go through a big transformation, let go of something big, etc.

Take this time to re-calibrate for what’s next. We invite you to take your attention off any emotional investment in the election results. To re-invest it somewhere else: unity, Spirit, Light, your spiritual gifts, gratitude, whatever YOU want to create. And to invest in creating a safe and sacred space that supports YOU.

It’s so easy in wild times like these, to imagine “if only ________ would happen, then I’d be successful, powerful, filled with joy, etc.” (You can fill in the blank with your desire: This person was elected, my partner would take out the trash, people were more compassionate, you get the idea).

The bad news: if we wait for all those external things to unfold, we might be waiting a very long time. The good news: Spiritual principles are available for retrieving your power and creating what you want, right now! We do have control over our energy, what we embody and what we emanate. Usually what we think other people should do or have is really what we need to hold inside ourselves! Remember where attention goes, energy flows. As empaths, it’s so important we stay in charge of our own energy; such a challenging assignment in times of rapid transformation.

So, how do you do all that? We invite you to join us in a process to assist you to Unplug from all that, and Plug back into what you know to be true, what you stand for. “Retrieve your Power”: a series of 5 glyphs (energy templates/symbols that come through Elaina) and meditation and writing prompts to assist you.

Retrieve Your Power meditation and journaling:

Preparation: gather your journal, writing/drawing implements, a quiet place for you to be. Create a safe and sacred space using your invocation or by asking your HigherSelf to hold a space of Light, Love and Transformation. Take a moment to feel into each glyph before you read the instructions. If you want to print them out, you can turn them 90 degrees, upside down, etc.

Next!? Glyph ©ElainaGeltner

1. Using the “Next!?” Glyph: Identify what you desire. What do you want to feel, be, emanate right now? You could use your “if only” from above. Write it down. This glyph is designed to connect you with your FutureSelf as an ascended master, and bring to you the wisdom and guidance you need now.

Retrieve Power #1
Gaze at Retrieve Power #1: Notice what you are feeling now, and what you are thinking about. “Record” that (write it down, draw an image, use a swatch of color).
Retrieve Power #2
Look at Retrieve Power #2. Pull your focus off of all exterior events, people, projects… and focus on your core stream of light. This is the stream of light that flows up and down through your chakras from your root chakra to your crown chakra. Feel that stream of light flowing down and connecting with the essence of the Earth. Feel the Earth energy coming up through that stream of light and filling your body with nurturing, comforting security.
Retrieve Power #3
Look at Retrieve Power #3.

Feel the cosmic energy of love and light. Imagine it coming from the heart of Source, wherever you imagine that to be.
Where those two energies (Earth and Cosmic) connect is sparking what you stand for, at the high heart*, heart, solar plexus chakras. Feel this, even if you don’t know the words. Imagine a world that runs on that energy. Allow yourself to see, feel, sense what that would be like.
Take a moment to “record” what you are experiencing. Allow this energy to permeate your body and your energy fields.

5. Ask your HigherSelf and Inter-dimensional helpers to update and calibrate your energetic grids, your environments, your beliefs, your perceptions. Take the time to let this happen. You will know when it is done.

Go Deeper…take it to the next level

Now you are probably wondering how you express this in the world. How you can help. The most important thing is for you to cultivate this in your core being. When you cultivate this here, at the level of your core stream of light and your HigherSelf, you are having 10-100 times the impact that you would have expressing it externally. So cultivate this deep in your core and wait for a prompt from Spirit to “do something”. See how much of this you can gather and grow inside. After you feel full, continue:

6. While looking at Retrieve Power #4: think of someone you’d like to share this with. At the level of the HigherSelf imagine that you can share it. Allow your HigherSelf to do this work; your mind really isn’t very good at this! Then let go. You are not responsible for them “getting it” or for “what they do with it”.

Bring it all together:

7. Integrate: Using the Integration grid (all 5 glyphs, above) .

- Feel back into your own core. Feel your body. You are likely to feel expanded, blissful and empowered. However, whatever you are feeling is fine. “Record” if you like
- Feel your earth connection. Return to your core stream of light. Feel it all the way up to the cosmos and down to the center of the earth. Enjoy the support and connection.
- Ask: what’s next? Take some time with your journal.

Repeat #5: Update grids, etc.
Complete this process with gratitude and appreciation for yourSelf, your helpers, the light that flows through you. Take some time to gently come back into the world. Take a walk, do some yoga, reach out to loved ones, share in the Cosmic Tea Room to connect with community.

Harvest the Magic of Halloween: HFBYS#19

October 7, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

Harvest the Magic of the Halloween season
#19 in our series: Hints for Being YourSelf (HFBYS)
by Barbara Steinberg, PhD with the Spirit of QuietStar

October 31st: Rich tradition, modern application

Using the cycles of the Earth to assist in transformation goes way back in history. Halloween is a time of year that has been celebrated in many cultures from ancient times to now. The most dominant festival from the past carried forward into today’s culture is the Celtic holiday of Samhain: the recognition of an ending of the planting/growing year with a harvest. As Winter approaches, the plants die and so no longer produce the renewal of Spring and the bounty of Summer. As souls in human bodies, we are best served to be in harmony with the Earth Cycles.

In the Druid tradition, Samhain celebrates the dead with a festival on October 31 and usually features a bonfire and communion with dead ancestors. In more recent years the Latin American Day of the Dead, which actually occurs the day after Halloween, has become an integral part of our culture through art, music, dance and festival.

During the months of September, October and November when the veils between the physical world and the higher realms are extremely thin, we have better access to the “unseen” realms. For Halloween in 2020, there is an extraordinary synergy: We have the full moon in Taurus, a blue moon and Halloween all occurring on the same day.

In SoulPath Alchemy™, we use this season to:

deepen the connection to Spirit Guides, Ascended Masters and Angels.
honor the legacy left by those who have gone before
harvest the fruits of our work over the last year
release that which no longer serves
be anything we want! (thanks, inner child!)

Want to be of Service? Sensitive people are more likely to feel the presence of those who have left the physical world during this time. Elaina has been creating “clinics” to assist lost souls to find the Light for over 20 years. We do NOT recommend trying this at home if you haven’t been trained. You might want to join us at our annual Halloween retreat to learn about how to do this safely and effectively. With the assistance of the Spirit of QuietStar, we will create a safe and sacred space where you can learn about assisting lost souls, who are stuck in the Earth Plane, to cross over into the Higher Realms.

More about the Full “Blue” Moon: The moon, a feminine symbol universally representing the depths of the unconscious and the potent and powerful inward, intuitive, and sacred. It provides a way to connect more deeply with ourselves. A Full Moon is a time to harness this energy when the moon is directly opposite the Sun providing a yin-yang balance of universal energy.

The Blue Moon is used colloquially to mean a rare event as in the phrase “once in a blue moon”! Even though, when you look at this moon, you may not “see” a blue tint, recall that this is the color of serenity, stability, inspiration and wisdom. Blue often symbolizes calmness and reliability.

Through Esoteric Astrology we can all learn about the effects of this illumination on our terrestrial lives and bask in the light of our new understanding. This is a perfect time to tap into this beautiful enlightening energy.

For an added bonus, engage the (magical) Inner Child. As we approach Halloween, a time of magical transformations with costumes, masks, parties, candy and scary delights, the Inner Child is truly engaged. It is our child part who chooses our costume. It is our child aspect who wants the jack-o-lantern carved a certain way and who determines how scary the decorations and spooky delights can be. A collaboration with your Inner Child can result in amplification of the magic available to you at this time of the year.

Make it Yours! Whatever you choose, make it uniquely yours! Remember to be YourSelf: everyone else is already taken! (link to that blog here).

What happens around the Cauldron, stays around the cauldron.

Connect in Community: We’d love to hear what you create. Please share in the Cosmic Tea Room. Link

May the Magic of the Season bring you closer to your Heart’s Desire!

Love and Light,

In this time of Rapid Transformation: Support YourSelf – HFBYS #16

July 9, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

Supporting Yourself in Times of Rapid Transformation can be challenging and require a lot of energy. As more light is beamed onto our Planet Earth, we find ourselves re-aligning, re-calibrating and examining all aspects of our reality. This is a powerful time to take a deep look at what we want and how we want to be. And, it can be very challenging for Highly Sensitives and Empaths to navigate.

Energy template for organized change — Light merkaba in cosmic space. Sacred geometry

From Narayana*: “In this time of profound change that is upon our planet, you are getting the changes you have asked for. Now you are noticing that they are not quite going as you had planned. Remember to stay connected to the essence of who you are and what you want. The form is likely not to look “quite right”. Remember also that you will need to cleanse the by-products of change from your entire system: body, mind and spirit.”

Question: “How long will it take the cleanse the debris, integrate the new energy and feel normal again?”

Narayana: “There is really no going back to what you were used to—except if you shut down the energy. So, prepare to feel more comfortable as you become more accustomed to this new level of energy. Much as a child goes through a growth spurt, and doesn’t fit in her body, you are doing the same. A child’s arms and legs feel too long, they run into things, and they are grumpy and out of sorts. This is what is happening to you on an energetic and physical level now. So as you grow into yourself, you will be happier and feel more at home in your body again. As for “normal”, it is suggested that you re-set your definition.”

Your physical body is a key to your transformation: Detoxify, strengthen, rest and listen to it.

Use gentle exercise, massage, yoga
Walks: connect to nature, natural bodies of water, the earth. For some, strenuous physical exercise can break open the blockages, clear the debris and ground us in our bodies. For others, gentler movement is better. Check in with your body. Create balance with times of stillness and gentle movement.
Food: Listen to your body. Your needs will shift often! Let go of assumptions you make about what you eat, and be in the moment. Use kinesiology, energy medicine or intuition to get feedback. If you have difficulty discerning what’s right for now, get feedback from a practitioner whose clarity you trust. Some suggestions that might be universal:

- Be aware of sugar and caffeine intake.
- Increase protein intake, if that feels right for you.
- Eat root veggies for grounding, celery for the nervous system.
- Drink plenty of water, lemon water, yerba maté tea, fresh juice.
- Take Detox baths (epsom salts and essential oils), Jacuzzis and saunas
- Local, fresh, organic foods attune you to where you live (or travel)

Care for your spiritual/energetic well-being: Focus on where we are going, not where we have been. If you are focused on the energetic grids that are falling away, you will feel dis-oriented, insecure, and fearful. That’s kind of like looking mostly in the rearview mirror while driving down the highway. If, instead, you look ahead, look to the light, look to the future, you will stay on track. Allow the past to fall away and give yourself plenty of time to get used to the new paradigm. Here are some specific suggestions:

- Decrease overall busy-ness. Take time to relax, sit or lie and “do nothing”. Take the pressure off yourself to achieve a lot right now.
- Wear grounding shoes and clothes.
- Get a massage from someone attuned to energy and subtle vibrations.
- Take breaks: naps, quick meditations
- Stop when you feel “out of it”; even if only for a brief moment.
- Detach from media and mass-consciousness messages and ideas about who you should be.
- Spend time with your spiritual community. We’ve created a safe and sacred space for transformation in our Facebook Group: The Cosmic Tea room. You can ask to join here.
- Take time to do regular, spiritual practice. This might be a good time to increase the amount of time or add new practices.

Find ways for the increased energy to flow:

- Do relaxed, not forced, chakra opening exercises.
- Be in service to others.
- Receive an energy balancing session.
- Paint, draw, do creative activities.
- Flow energy toward light and love; living your heart’s desire.
- Schedule time for the healing energies to work through you and your system, daily if possible.

We hope this helps you to navigate these amazing times!

What is the HigherSelf?

May 5, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about the HigherSelf. What is it? What does it do? The HigherSelf is that part of you that sees a broader perspective.

Backstory:

In order to answer that question, we have to start with common language about our nature at a Soul level. In my cosmology, we are all souls with multiple incarnations in multiple dimensions at multiple times. Some say it all happens simultaneously; but we’ll save that question for another blog!

As a soul, we decide to incarnate in a physical body on planet earth. At that time, as a soul, we set intentions. This might be a curiosity to see what it’s like to live in Bhutan, a desire to understand why humans treat each other badly; even to understand greed, limitation, living with a disease. Or, you might decide to create a lifetime where you share your mastery at relationships. You get the idea.

The HigherSelf is that part of you that sees a broader perspective. It is kind of a messenger between your Soul and your physical being. Often when we show up in a body, we forget why we came here. We forget who we really are. Your HigherSelf is your bridge to that remembering.

Your HigherSelf is that part of you that knows your skills, your talents and abilities and can see beyond the day-to-day. Oftentimes the guidance I get from my HigherSelf makes complete sense right away. (“I can’t believe I couldn’t see that!”). Sometimes it takes a bit of unfolding of circumstances until it makes sense. But I can say for sure that if I am clearly hearing my HigherSelf, the guidance has never steered me wrong. But on the other hand, if my “hearing” is influenced by early programming, the expectations of a parent, worrying that someone won’t like me, my Inner Critic’s desire to “protect” me or my inner child’s need for security, I’m not likely to be getting a clear message.

Take it deeper:

If you want to take this deeper, I suggest this: find a quiet place where you can focus just on you. Take a moment to remember some times when you felt really guided. Really “you”. Those are very likely to be times when you were clearly connecting with your HigherSelf.

In our HigherSelf~Spirit Guides courses, we unpack this. We create a reliable and clear connection so that we can discern between true guidance and chatter. We practice, in the context of the group synergy, getting guidance on ever-deeper matters, until we can trust the difference.

Wait! Do this First! Safely Connect with Higher Realms

February 13, 2020 by Elaina Geltner

If you’re reading this, I know you have spiritual gifts. I know you want to use them in service to others, with clarity and discernment. You want to safely connect with the Higher Realms. So where do you start? Right here.

Over the years, I’ve helped lots of people open up to their Spirit Guides and develop their Spiritual gifts in a way that is clear and safe..

I have seen too many unsafe attempts to access the Spiritual realm — it makes me cringe. I have created this series to guide you in opening up in a way that is as safe and clear as possible.

Here’s what NOT to do:

DO NOT: Open up your crown chakra and let it rip!
DO NOT: Watch one YouTube video and invite Spirit to work through you.
DO NOT: Feel around in the dark at night for an energy that’s looking for a host (very dangerous idea!)
DO NOT: Fly around in the cosmos to see what you can connect with.
DO NOT: Pull the Ouija board out of the attic and invite your friends over.

This is not to scare you, I offer all of these experiences to my clients! Energy is a very powerful tool when used with the proper training and experience. The energies are just like electricity: properly channeled in secure wires: Magic! But, crossed wires, improper equipment: Well, you know!

Because the veils are thinning, there is greater need, now more than ever, for the gifts you have. I’ve noticed lately that there are a lot of people trying to use their gifts with no guidance or training. There is a better way…trust me. I’ve seen it over and over!

Here are a few safer ways to connect with the Higher Realms and your spiritual gifts.

DO: Develop a strong relationship with your HigherSelf
DO: Create an invocation that invites SPECIFIC energies to join your circle
DO: Install the HigherSelf as a gatekeeper.
DO: Stay Grounded. More about this next time.
DO: Take the opening step by step.
DO: Create a safe energetic container for connecting
DO: Your personal work to clear the pathways.

Here’s the good news. You CAN safely connect with the higher realms. Your HigherSelf is already a highly trained gatekeeper. If you spend time in relationship with them you will find that everything will become clearer. In order for this to happen, you need to develop that relationship for your HigherSelf to be readily available to you. And, guess what, we have a course for that! Check out the HigherSelf~Spirit Guides Course.
