Gatekeeping. The word makes me tense up. I don’t like it. I don’t think that anything that empower us should be proprietary, secret, or hidden. I’ve had to really dive into my own relationship with gatekeeping to understand my own position on it.
First of all, you don’t need someone to tell you that you’re a force. You are a force. You were always a force. If you were wondering, it seems you forgot that 100% fact about yourself. Second, well what about people charging for their offerings? When you enter a relationship with a practitioner, you are transacting for their energy. You are contracting with their ability to hold space for you. You aren’t buying a ting from them. Keep an eye out for a post about more on this later because even the people selling tings, you are buying way more than the ting! Third, and maybe last thought for now, I struggle with what I share for free and what I ask people to invest in. It is this self-discovery of what I want to inspire in others and the mechanics of how I ask for an investment in the offering. I have a lot to say and I know there are people out there that need to hear it. I just don’t have a full yes on whether it is something I offer in exchange of an investment or something I offer as community support. Also, how do I offer it? Ya girl doesn’t want to manage a patreon page and I feel less and less inclined to show up on Facebook. Sike! I have a fourth and (I promise) final thought. There are so many people in the world offering the same thing. Often times we gatekeep because of scarcity mindset. Where I feel people miss the bigger picture is that what sets you apart is you and the unique flavor of your energy. Scarcity is what keeps us from letting our fullest expression free and it’s what perpetuates the curse of comparison. Scarcity tells us that we need to be like that person over there (where, RIGHT THERE! ) in order to be successful. They’re wrong. You didn’t come into this existence to be anyone but yourself. You came into this existence to be yourself. The end. Trust me. I spent 34 years trying to figure out who I am which included imitating the people I thought were successful...which makes you really question and redefine what success is for yourself! If you’re ready to enter into a conscious relationship with a facilitator, someone to journey you back to yourself, book a complimentary consultation with me. I recently sat down with Sapphire Sandalo of Stories with Sapphire to contribute to her latest podcast episode. We talked about faith and energy healing. As always, I enjoyed geeking out talking about energy work.
The episode premieres Wednesday Feb 10. Check it out here: https://storieswithsapphire.com/ Spiritual development is about clearing your mind of all the distractions. When you can clear your mind, you can have crystal clear understanding of who you are, what you came into this life to do, and be clear on your path.
Early on in my development, I knew that in order to take my abilities to the next level, I needed to work through my blocks. I went through the motions of thinking I didn't have baggage to work through (eye roll at myself), thinking that I was working through baggage and it wasn't that bad(double eye roll), and then getting frustrated because I couldn't figure it out. Well, I had such a hard time because I was stuck in a pattern trying to work through my baggage. I was stuck in the pattern for so long that it was my normal. After editing this video over time, I thought it was really funny that I talked about make up and appearances while looking pretty ratchet. I don't usually wear make up and if I do it is minimal but even my hair looks like it wants a day off lol. Enjoy! -------------------------- Music Credit: www.bensound.com A college student interviewed me as a reiki practitioner for their class and I kinda did a tiiiing. The student asked me: do you need any training, certifications, or licenses to practice reiki? I said no. You see, I've come to view reiki like someone trying to take a common activity like walking or breathing and trying to claim it as proprietary. The definition from the International Center for Reiki Training, and one I agree with, is reiki is universal life force energy. As universal life force energy, we all have access to this energy. The idea that you need someone else to flip the switch and enable it within you is ludicrous. You don't need an attunement or initiation. The real work being done with the attunement/initiation is on your belief system. Do you believe you have access to this universal life force energy? Are you worthy of connection with this universal life force energy? With any type of energy work, if you do not believe in it, it will not work. Does this ritual of attunement in any form help you? Of course it does if you're the kind of person that needs the pomp and circumstance to feel official. I took a reiki 1 and 2 class and was certified. Am I dismissing the value of the classes? No, absolutely not. Every instructor I took for every class I've taken is amazing and was necessary for me to be where I am today. But if you feel called to learn the practice and find your barrier is affording the course, you do not need a certification, attunement, or expensive course. The most important skill you need to learn or be a practitioner is the intention. As long as a heart-based intention is there, you cool! I share this coming from a place of being a serial course taker. I took course upon course because I thought I needed to check boxes to be enough. I am learning my truth and it is I am enough no matter where I am. So are you! This picture makes me laugh so hard.
The one covered in my hair is Maximo. He used to be terrified of my hair. If he found it on the floor, he would freeze like he saw a black mamba ready to attack him. Now he fully embraces it. Since I dyed my hair purple, he likes to let me put my hair on his head and pretend it is his purple hair. We most definitely grow and change. You could be terrified of hair today and letting your crazy mom cover you in it tomorrow. You could feel hopeless and disconnected today and you could feel the support of the Universe tomorrow.

If you want to align your actions, thoughts, and emotions to your spirit then let's talk how developing your psychic abilities help you live a full life. Developing your intuition isn't all about becoming a professional psychic or medium. It's about being the same person inside, outside, and in every expression. It is about eliminating the separation of your mind, body, and spirit through a shift in perspective. Develop your intuition and then use it in your craft! Schedule a 15 minute consultation with me to see if we are an energetic match. Every color of the spectrum holds a different frequency and vibration. They correspond to different energy centers. The different shades within each color can tell us whether the energy is under expressed, balanced, or over expressed. Colors tell us so much!
This guided meditation is an activation of your connection to the different colors of the rainbow as a language and barometer for energy. Note the different thoughts and sensations you experience with each color within the meditation. Journal your experience post-meditation. You can do your own free-form meditation to dig deeper into the messages you received for each color. If you would like to connect deeper with color symbolism or understand your symbols on a deeper level, setup a 15 minute consultation with me to see if we are an energetic match. I developed my intuitive abilities independently for as far as I could. At some point, I felt I plateaued and sought working with a mentor to guide me and expand my practice. Music Credit: www.bensound.com Triggers. The word trigger(s) became a more commonly used term in recent years. Before then, I don't think there was a more succinct way to describe the people, places, and things that would incite repressed feelings of emotional pain and discomfort, These triggers are symptoms of our wounds, emotional wounds. If wounds are darkness, blocking the light so that we cannot see clearly, then light is the flashlight of an expansion of consciousness to see the whole picture.
When we think of healing, people often think of going to the doctor, having the doctor tell them what is happening, and get a prescription. Our involvement stopped when we unloaded our experience on the doctor and at that point, it became their issue to resolve. Let the doctor fix it. Let the prescription fix it. We effectively have washed our hands of it. Energy healing is different. The dis-eased owns the healing from beginning to end. As a practitioner, I hold space and guide you through the healing. I facilitate the recognition of the wound and understanding it's place in consciousness. This is enabling you to realize your empowerment. Does my situation own me? Or, do I own the situation? This creates a huge shift in your perspective to make and own the life of joy that you deserve. While I may bring in energy through crystals, reiki, chromotherapy, or other modalities to return your energetic body to equilibrium, the long term healing comes from your choices once you leave our session. I work with our Spirit Guides in sessions to bring forth messages to integrate healing. Our guides will give insight and/or advice to how we feel, why we feel, and what we can do. It depends on each person and what serves your highest and greatest good. Healing begins with the recognition of one's sovereignty. Sovereignty over such triggers. Sovereignty to allow light. Sovereignty to be in any freaking state of healedness you wish! This is true empowerment. Realizing that this flowed from you and that you can change it. Whether you want to learn the tools to heal yourself or work with me 1x1, I've got you! Use the button on the top of this page to book a complimentary 15 minute consultation to see if we are an energetic match. Boundaries have been a common theme in my spiritual development. Boundaries with how much of myself I give as well as boundaries for how much I want to let people in. Boundaries are important for everyone. Our energy is our currency and how we co-create with others and vice versa is a choice. Be thoughtful with how much of your energy you share, who you share it with, and how you put it out there. How you decide is what manifests as your future.
When I started developing my own intuition, I wanted every opportunity to practice reading energy. I would read people on my bus commute to work. I wouldn't share what I got with anyone, it was for the sake of exercising my psychic muscles. Do NOT do what I did. That was an invasion of privacy. If I knew then what I know now, I never would've done it. Practice healthy boundaries. Are you looking for a guide to help you uncover your spiritual gifts?

Check out my class schedule and join my mailing list to receive my monthly newsletter! By day I work for a Fortune 50 company in the finance industry. I'm currently working on the Paycheck Protection Program's Loan Forgiveness within my work. As a result, I've been using the term forgiveness quite a bit. In writing a work email, I wrote something along the lines of "requesting forgiveness." I looked at my email and laughed thinking, oh that sounds like they're asking for penance. I decided I should be more specific and indicate "loan forgiveness."
It got me thinking about affirmations and the energy we put behind our thoughts and words. What could that mean with the amount of energy put behind the word forgiveness with this program alone? It is no question that the world is going through a major shift, a great awakening some call it. For me it signals a monumental period of release that we will go through as a collective. With that amount of energy behind the word, whether conscious of the power or not, it is going to activate a release on a large scale. As I gave more space to the use of the word forgiveness and the intention behind it, I considered the different thoughts, emotions, experiences, etc that each of us may be holding onto in a way that holds us back.These thoughts, emotions, experiences, etc. create blinders or blocks to our perspective and it is in forgiveness of all directions that we can remove them and see the bigger picture with expanded consciousness/awareness. It allows us to return to the core of who we are with every part as a co-creating contributor rather than a detractor or delimiter. Forgiveness allows us to shift from a perspective of fear, doubt, pain, etc and use the energy in a way that builds us up rather than breaks us down. Consider something that you are hiding from others or that makes you tense when you think of it. Now focus on it and say the following words in order: I'm sorry. Forgive me. I love you. I'm grateful. That is the Ho'oponopono Prayer. Comment below your experience. |
